How strong are the towing eyes on the jimny would they make good recovery points, or do they need altering?
has anyone got any pics of what they have done?

DO NOT use the towing/lashing eyes for recovery - that is not what they are designed for. You might get away with it but if it let go with tension on a tow/or winch rope the resulting whipback of the rope with the lashing eye attached could maim or kill you or someone else. I saw a picture of a Range Rover some time back that had attempted a recovery of another stuck truck, the recovery point failed and went through the rear screen, creased along the inside of the roof and then smashed the windscreen from the inside - it just missed the drivers head...........whatever you use must be up to the job and be attached to a strong piece of the chassis - you have been warned!!

I think the Big Jimny shoppe has a recovery point available for the front and a towbar should do at the back although a jaw on it rather than a loop of rope over the towball is preferable.....
