Hi,

I am new to off-roading and I am in the process of preparing my landrover discovery 1. I am wondering where is the best place to attach my recovery points to at the rear. I am hoping the D-shape hoop and bolts will be adequate for the job. Any advise will be appreciated.

tow bar...that's what I use...

it's a great recovery point, altough it can act as a mud plough too....

Yea was planning on taking that off.

I used some 6mm plate to stop the plough

You'll be talking about JATE rings there pal. Just asked a similar question (kind of) over in this thread

Bt there are a few threads knocking around just do a search

I like the idea of this, but I 'rescued' a tow bar off a Rangie classic, the same that was on older Disco's, so mud should just go over it. I just need to grind the bolts off so I can get it apart and a mates going to shot blast it and put a primer coat on it so I can hammerite it.

I've also heard of people altering the angle of the arms that go and attach further back down the chassis so that it does not hang as low, and then do the 5-6mm plate cover like you did to act as a skid pad incase you touch down

Then my mate is getting my original 'plough'.

ive reduced the plate height and relocated the bolts higher up so its only got 1 height but is level with the tank, gonna plate it soon

Cheers. Think JATE rings are the best option, thanks for the help.
