How many 1000 tons is it?

Are you using those hitch eyes as recovery points or just for the winch cable?

the winch weighs in at 50kg, and the bumper at another 50. With the plastic rope and aluminium fairlead (due in a month), I should gain a couple of degrees more in the approach angle department, and loose 10-12 Kgs.

The SMBs (Shackle Mounting Brackets) are also used for recovery. At one point this past Saturday I had a dual snatch block rigged on the left one. Each one is rated at 3 tons LIFTING, so I think they'll do the job pretty well. The bolts are grade 8, along with THICK BIG washers and the plate is 8mm. Don't think they're going anywhere.

Cool, I was just wondering if you had the SMB attached to the chassis somewhere, but that answers my question. Looking at trying to install some on the rear of the TJ so was just wondering how you had it set up.

EE (www.expeditionexchange.com) is selling them (look under SMB in their product listing)

i don't know about 3 ton lifting.....
the forces involved in kinetic recovery i.e. snatching...would far exceed the 3 ton mark..
high school science
- f (force)=mass x acceleration
that is just opinion... i want something that can handle at least 5 ton to snatch...and will only snatch for light boggings ... prefer winching... safer and more controlled......
sorry i'm going off topic again
