Just some pics of it on; Nice touch I thought Me boys like it; I had Pressbrakes recovery point welded to my towing bracket, super strong now! Will post more once its painted.

Hey, good stuff cheers Dan. Thor; Yeah it was gleaming! Pics to follow, tomorrow hopefully.

Hello. Just got the landy back complete with new crossmember :D I have given the x-member two coats of red oxide, and Im going to paint it black with hammarite, and tetroseal the rear of the x-member. What Im wondering is should I hammarite the rear of the x-member as well as tetroseal it...

Cheers matey ;)

I know the feeling :rolleyes: :o Yeah, I work as a contractor/arborist/tree butcher, and I'm having to leave lots of sticks behind at the moment! Not good :mad:

Glad you like it!!! :D:D:D;):):):) And I couldn't have said it better myself (and I didn't :o ).

Oh right, yeah I know what you mean now, I will get a picture up later, easier then trying to explain! Cheers ;)

Ok, errmmmm, yeah, why? :confused: Just aesthetics, or do you not think it is not capable? It is about 8mm thick, so I recon it would be way stronger then off the shelf brackets, especially when welded with Pressbrakes recovery point, that would be 9 blots attached to a 6mm crossmember with...

When I first got the landy it had a nato hitch on as well as the towing bracket. I had the nato hitch taken off as it got in the way when uncoupling the trailer (I had a ball hitch at the time, now a pin and eye hitch). I sold the nato hitch ages ago, sorry.

Ok, that didn't work.... Im getting a weld put up the side of the recover point and the towing plate.
