Jate rings fixed to chassis, steering guard with built in recovery points or HD front bumper with recovery points are your options.

Jate rings easiest and cheapest but bot much fun attaching shackles when stuck 2' in mud !

Words of advice, attach your rope before you try anything dodgy and don't do your shackles up tight or you'll never undo them.

I appreciate the advice buddy, thanks again

I only made the mistake of not having a tow rope attached once, I was laid on my bonnet had my arm in thick smelly bog over my elbow. U will only do it once finding the tie point n fasening a shackle in a bog is hard and tricky

Get yourself a ground anchor, first thing I bought after getting my winch. What good's a winch if you've got nothing to attach it to?

I bought a brand new D44 anchor type off of Fleabay, bargain @ £90 it's huge, super tough and very effective, if a bit heavy.
Pulled tree roots out of Jai Landrover's front garden with it, till I found a nice yellow gas pipe.

come and have a go at silverdale on the 16th this month.:rolly:

This is a VERY newbie question, but if I were to turn up at somewhere like silverdale, for begginners like me, who have little practical offroad experience, how does it work? are there different routes etc depending on experience? it seem quite daunting.

Best thing is go with someone who's been before! Some places have marked routes some leave it to common sense, you need to watch similar vehicles and take it steady at first while you build a little confidence, most people are helpful and friendly, so chat to them
