Good gear is rated for lifting a dead weight (entire mass of vehicle) Most recoveries are done with vehicle being able to move on wheels so safety factor is actuall/usually magnified
you clearly have not been properly stuck!
linky linky i int going looking for some random vid on youpube
FFS you should have found someone who knew what he was doing that's a 5 minute pull out that is.
hey ned go for strops or slings mate. Get a few different types of shackle as well.
KInetic ropes are very good but dangerous if not used properly. If you want more info on them let me know but tbh you are most like to pull your towing eye off and take someones windscreem out with it.
If you still have your standard LR tow points make a bridle with a tree strop and two shackles then use a sling or something similar. This gives even pull on your vehicle. Like everyone is saying the strops are 6:1 safety factored so don't worry too much (this is provided they are proper lifting tackle and come with a certificate).
Don't underestimate chains either particularly grab hooks which can be lengthened to suit all applications.
When getting slings work with 2000kgs this will be fine. Same with shackles but get some smaller one to use if the eyes are smaller. Anymore info let me know.

Landrovers don't have tow points they have lashing eyes. You must fix proper tow points
aye cast jate rings are yer best bet
