Recovery points front of RRC

[katoosh]

JATE rings will mount on both sides. I don't have a close up but you can see both of mine in this shot...

That sure is a purty truck you got there.

I have one JATE ring on passenger side. I too am looking to improve on this.

Question: With the aftermarket winch bumper on there, why did you feel it necessary to have the JATE rings. Wouldn't something like a Bates (?) recovery point mounted on front have been easier to rig?

I already had the JATEs before I got the front bumper. That bumper does have two swivel eyes as well but I thought the more recovery points the better.

I finally got around to getting my recovery points mounted. They are kinda the shape of a fitted sock and the drivers side matches up with the ring on the factory brush guard. They are made from 5/8" steel and are mounted with grade 8 bolts and lock nuts.

What's the diameter of the mounting bolts? Looks small.

I want to say they were 11/16ths grade 8. They were the grade 8 versions of the bolts I pulled. The pic is of the lock nut side.

Jeff - they look great, who made'em ?

Ronnie - was your rrc for sale recently, thought I saw it listed around the time i was shopping and bought a 9rrc? Do you want to come to Bham sometime and try out Grayrock ORV? I'd love to get some rovers together for a weekend and maybe you are still in contact with some of the guys from the short lived alabama land rover club we tried forming years ago. shoot me an email if so tallbrad@gmail.com

Thanks Jason! I had them made by one of the contractors that works for my company. You should be able to find someone local to make them. They are 5/8" steel. Off the truck they are kinda the shape of a fitted sock. Then it's just 2 holes for the bolts and one for the shackle. If you want a pattern I scanned one before I put them on the truck.
