Title: TJ Recovery points
Post by: Dodster on October 10, 2005, 12:49:33 PM

I think the rear point is sorted there appears to be a standard eye fitted on the rear nearside. I have also inherited a tow bar which i think is detatchable but i havent worked out how it comes off yet.

The front has a chrome safari light bar thing which is bolted to the top of the bumper as well as underneath. I presume the safari bars come off and tow hooks fitted on one or both sides of the top of the bumper.
Does that sound about right???

Any advice greatly received :?

You can purchase recovery hooks which bolt straight on the top of your bumper, like on mine which can be seen here (http://http://www.birtydastardsjeepclub.com/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=471url) either side of the winch.

4WD do these (http://http://4wd.com/shop/productdetail.asp?c=2&model=tj&subcat=otherexterior&division=6&category=63&productsku=7605) and I'm sure MJ's or Team Wrangler will be able to help there. (But of course it wouldn't be worth ordering just a pair of tow hooks now would it...   )

Alternatively, Greggmo has some for sale which bolt on the front of the bumper which you can put a shackle/d-ring through.

Are there any suitable recovery points / hooks to fit to the rear of a TJ?  

The standard loops won't take my shackles!

Will a hook work upside down?

Ivan

2 options
Greggmo was I think looking at fabricating one failing that Steve Middleton from NSM was selling one that would replace the rear tow point on a TJ/Front tow point on an XJ its very strong and takes a 4.75t rated shackle not sure if it would work with an aftermarket bumper tho

Thanks Greggmo but my drilling skills arent what they used to be, and i am a LFB these days so i am gonna check out the hooks like Mandas.
