Is there not a stock recovery point or location where a stock one should be? I'm just thinking from an XJ and other similar era Jeep perspective - they usually come with a small eye bracket bolted on - not really upto heavy recovery but if you bolt a decent hook or shackle mount in their place then you have something that will stand up to most recoveries.

On your FSJ websites, surely in a newbie section someone else has asked the same question - not everyone goes 35s and winch bumpers immediately

get some more pics of the underside of the front.

simplest is a tow jaw in the front bumper with a backing plate the hooks wont work with out cutting the bumper and/ or lots of messing

BD...Just a thought...you are in KORC arnt you?

There will be Im sure Landy chaps who can weld....and Im sure if they are good eggs can help you out....also MTS and Ed from JJ are down your way and might have some leads...

was ahead of ya Bish but appreciate the steer, been in touch with a few doods, with the emphasis on it bein done before Clyro, and got some quotes, so, waddya reckon is a reasonable ballpark for this minus the lights:

I have some major results then

in theory, and I def trust one of them

it doesn't look to bad but it just looks too heavy in build.

dont forget to check with your mot tester

ooops wrong thread

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #44 on:** June 03, 2011, 05:46:32 PM »

today I have commissioned front & rear recovery/winch bumpers for the Chief, all for the price of a bottle of welding gas and some physical labour

front should def be done by Clyro, so Im all ready for Steve to spend his weekend winching me out of everywhere

just a shame im unlikely to get up to MJS to actually fit the winch
