I rekon it's self inflicted myself.

thas OK, Ratty - SLUTS RTV (Recovery Training Vehicle) showing how a good recovery should be carried out. Glad DV is carrying on in the time-honoured tradition :mooning: :bolt: :behindsofa:.

Is that guy jumping out a bit quick cus he just realised Ross Kemp is in the back?

Not really what you are after is it? ... But it does fit on the tow bar!

At least you know that the rear end of Tufftee is still strong.

Dv Was just testing his recovery points I have been led to believe.

That int Ross Kemp - thas a Grippa. Everyone shud have a Grippa.:mooning::cheer2::cheer2:

Rafa i got the set up your after but aint got me camera tonigh.remind me tommorrow and ill take a piccy

how about a towbar with this (circled).

fixing a shackle onto that should be fine no?as strong as your x member, as strong as your chassis am i rite or am i rite!?

wouldnt put it on there, thats only made to space the up rights and whoever you recovering might end up with it through their window, why not get a combi hitch or another sadle piece with a nato hitch, them type of tow bracket you got there also good for ploughing

rite fook that then!i'l buy one that redhand adviced if one like the above shouldnt be used!

ploughin ha!i dont get it

failed then but get a bag of spuds and when you go down same lane few months later you can sell the results to ratty for his chippies

Just been out to look at my shackles and towball ... and they don't fit over!

2 1/2 ton (I think) rated, Green coloured bolt ... won't fit onto the neck of either of my three towballs. (1 on my 'normal' removable towbar, 1 on a Ball & pin towbar, 1 a standard plain ball on a standard disco towbar fitment)

rafa uploading me piccies now bear with us......

Its sooooooooo slow!.......Must get betterer tinternet.........
