Please let me know if you have a CB or a winch. Recovery equipment is a must.

Spring?! cant we go now whilst mine is still working? lol

The Mad Hat Man · Jan 27, 2011

only if i come along as passenger and navigator

.

instantsquid · Jan 27, 2011

No winch. Yes to CB. Got a couple of ropes and shackles, plus front and rear recovery points. Anything else I should be gathering together beforehand?

Beast o Bodmin · Jan 28, 2011

need some dates but yes in the spring....

thainy · Jan 28, 2011

Yep I can do that. Got recovery kit but need to fit my recovery points still. Cb is up and working. Freshly serviced and running lovely!!

Moleshome · Jan 28, 2011

No winch, no CB (although I may pick up a handheld).

On the recovery side I've got a 6 metre strap (3tonne?) and a shackle, a tow bar and the original towing eye at the front.

original towing eye??

ratty · Jan 28, 2011

Do I qualify as a newbie?

Better to replace those with Jate rings - the original eyes aren't really intended for towing / recovery use. It's a simple job to change them.

At the Mo its likely to be March sometime, unless I can wangle a Sunday orf.

Ratty - yu are always welcome - just concerned about numbers

Roof racks and nice shiny bodywork is not advised.

At least you may not have either by the time we get to the pub

:behindsofa:It's a Gaylander. As far as I know you can't fit Jate rings.

Oops. Apologies

The Mad Hat Man · Jan 28, 2011

Best to find out what are the recovery points on the front. Yu shouldn't need them, but best be safe.
