Afternoon all,
After searching for the best recovery set up on here and across other sites iv found opinion varies massively!
My TD5 110 still has its lashing rings, and im looking to put together a decent recovery set. Id rather get good kit now than have to replace it.
Jate rings- On the rear of the TD5 it looks like they pass through the chassis, theres no separate welded point, the chassis is in pretty good condition, but is it designed to take the pressure? Do you just pass shackles through the rings once there fitted or a strop through the rings themselves?
Front recovery- Looking at a steering guard with recovery points with a set of rated shackles. Think this will be my choice - PM609TE | Steel Steering Guard with Integral Towing Eyes - Galvanised - for Defender RHD
Rope/strops- Theres a lot of differing ideas on this. Iv only ever used strops at work, I was set to purchase a strop to link the jate rings and pass through it a longer strop to then tow from. This is a method iv used before but is it the best way to go?
Was hoping someone with more experience than me could let me know if im heading along the right track, or if iv made a few novice mistakes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Sean
