Oil change(s).... was created by Back in Black

I have just changed the engine, gearbox, transfer box and diffs oil, and as my 11 year old daughter would say OMG!!

What a difference fresh oil makes!! It's like a new car. Spark plugs next.....

Not all good news though, whilst struggling about underneath I noticed I definitely need a new back box and quite a bit of Wagtail damage to various dangling down bits. Need some protection down below (oh err). Also must sort the rear towing things - one took a beating/bending at wagtail. Need a proper tow/recovery bar.

My mate knocked up a couple of rear recovery points that clamp to the rear chassis leg and they are spot on. Or i think you can buy one in the shop on here.

Thanks for that I'll check the shop out.

At wagtail someone had a bar across the rear with D's on either end, which I presume is also attached to the chassis.

Yep that's the sort of thing, is it attached to the towing points or chassis proper? Ideally I'd like something similar with the D's and a removeable tow hook.

There's no need to say sorry. It wasn't your fault I a) got stuck and b) wasn't prepared AND you did get me out (thank you for that). If I had proper recovery points you'd have had an easier time getting me out.
