is a proper towbar attached to the chassis
it also has a plate welded between the two arms going back to the chassis so it can be used to mount a rear winch

I use a tow bar as my rear recovery point with a dirty great metal ring welded to it proper which still allows me to attach my tow ball for the future when I plan to tow a camping trailer rather than carry the weight in the motor!

I put it nose down a rather steep bank recently and got winched out backwards off it and it didn't flinch!

Excellent - thank you for the feed back. Mrs Black in Black has "offered" to buy me a rear tow bar for my birthday (she just doesn't know it yet :whistle: ) - I'm browsing ebay for a towbar.

Once I have the basic bar in place I can do as suggested and get extras attached to enable easier/more robust rearward recovery. With the added bonus of a removeable tow ball thingy should the need arise.
