Recovery Points ..?

Hi All..
Having not been properly offroading yet.. I am unsure of the recovery points on the Jimny.

Below images: Parts on the undercarriage that i would have thought are reliable for recovery.

Front


Rear


I assume this is where bullbars ect. are attatched..? but would they also help me out of a sticky situation..?

Thanks!

thats the towing eyes yes but need to bridle both together as they are to soft!

Martin has some good recovery points in the bigjimny shop.

I would not use them for recovery, even with a bridle. I know people do and with a bridle they can be OK, but I bent one when I was proper stuck, before I had a winch bumper with a dirty big recovery hoop welded to it and couldn't get to the other side to make up a bridle and it got proper bent.

I think if I was proper stuck and used both, something would give also.

I don;t have any pictures of it on this computer, but if you look at my early pictures in the gallery on this site, you can see how I had the passenger side one beefed up on the front. On the rear, get a tow bar and a dixon bate bar hitch!

Yeah, i got a towbar in the boot.. and i can probably find a hitch in the garage somewhere.
I'm more concerned about the front.
But no worries, I'll make sure the Landys are behind me !!
(They probably will be anyway!)

Thanks for the info !!

Jon place has had his eyes cut off ( tow eyes haha ) and replaced with 10mm thick steel beasts, they look well up to the job!
