Front Recovery Point locations

[natas]

I want to mount a couple shackles on my ARB bumper, but where?

 

[DEFENDER90-DAZ]

On the front

 

[Dr_evil]

Surely the ARB should have some mounting points on it already ?

If it dosent have any recovery points on the front, think you might be ok to use say a 3" strop rapped around the bumper. Criss crossed between where it bolts to the chassis rails, then have the end loops come to a head in the middle and join with a shackle. You should be able to pull from that, it will spread the load evenly.

You could also put a jate ring on each chassis leg so that you could use a bridle setup for equal pull for recovery as that splits the load over 2 points rather than 1 recovery point
Thats what i've got on my defender (have a look at my pics )

i fink them ARB bumpers use the points on the chassis legs for the bumper mountings.

So you cant put jate rings on

Not sure mate - can't see it properly from the pic above...

 

[GINGE]

i just googled ARB bumper and some versions have places to attach jate rings others don't.

Here Natas, can you get a closer picture thats a bit bigger?

 

[RobertOHare]

you not got a steering guard with place to put jate rings on?

 

[DEFENDER90-DAZ]

You don't put jate rings on a steering guard mate :doh:
You put shackles on steering guard eyes

You put shackles on steering guard eyes

thats what i meant like.

but always remeber D is for danger.

I emailed ARB, they say that the holes just below the the jacking holes will acomodate the shackles.
Unfortunately I am now at work and Pumkin is at home.
However, I really thought that I would have noticed something like that ???

I will check it out when I go for lunch and will try get some close pictures.

Thanks.

OK, so here is some better pictures(I hope) of the ARB.

Here you see the front, there are 2 holes, a round one , I assume for a jack and the sqare one below.

Under the sqare hole is this round hole about 3/4", is this where I put the recovery thingy?
If so whet do I use?

 

[mark-d]

is the square one not for a hi lift jack and the round one above it for a recovery eye?

 

[mark-d]

looks like they are using the square bit here

I would have thought the round circles will take a recovery point like what I have got on mine...

OK, the guy from ARB just answered.


He says that the hole that is underneath the square hole is whare I should put the shackle.

yup.

So you put the pin down. So you protect the thumb screw on the pin. Then the bell on the shackle is facing up and down.
