As per email Martin - 1st trials will be 23July ... They look great, and welding too!
Regards the 'bolt-on' Recovery Points ... I'd be up for those too ... I foolishly bought some Swivel Eyes off eBay (url=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200361376552&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB]Swivel-Eyes[/url] - and and when i came to fit them, turns out my ex-KAP Winch bumper is not thick or streong enough (doh!! )...

Any news on the recovery points Martin? I just bought some new shackles and they're too big for the standard recovery points

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

An update:
Thanks to Chris and his engineering contact and thanks to my tame tester, Maverick, the rear shock mounts have now gone into production. They will be produced in batches and I will advertise the first batch in the shop along with pictures of them in use once they arrive with me. And although I will not tell you the price yet as I have not sorted out postage weights etc I can assure you that I believe they are very competitively priced.
Further good news, I have a rear recovery bracket (prototype) in my hands. As I explained before I would really like to test them on a STANDARD Jimny and I would prefer it to come to Reading so I can see it fitted. Remember that I would then expect it to be USED so I am looking for someone who offroads their Jimny and has a reputation for needing recovery.
Also note that caveats apply - this is a prototype, it may not fit, it may not work, it may even be dangerous or damage your car and it is not painted/plated. Why am I not fitting it to my car - my car has roll cage mounts attached just where the recovery point would go.

Gimmi Gimmi Gimmi !!!!..
Martin, not standard, but not that highly modified, if you want to put anything on Kerry's, she says she is happy to trial it.
We dont get stuck everywhere, but were increasingly finding new places and challenges to get stuck. When we do .... we usually get dragged out.
Spent 2 hours helping to dig / recover a well stuck shogun with the aide of 2 snatch blocks to get enough "Pull" on Friday Night.
