er no front pigtail is for h/d recovery. what look like rings at rear for tie down
are also h/d for recovery, ideally with a bridle strap between 'em. possible front piggy lost or not fitted as can interfere with bull bar mounting. would suggest for dragging onto a flat bed, part of the lower a frame would do afterall some bull bars have 50 mm balls mounted for shunting trailers etc. after that imagine could get a strap round IFS sub frame. looked at that on an ambulance yesterday but the strap in tension would have ripped his spoiler/bumper/bib off, or atleast damaged it. Pete has it always had that bolted bar across bottom of a frame just under plastic bumper? reckon could use that ideally very close to chassis rail mounts or even round the the tube just as it starts to go up.

that
bolted bar , is my atf cooler err ok, well round a bar tube then at bottom to reduce leverage gonna make a strap under the i/c to the sub frame iffy too. tbh mate big cooler great, location poor, if destroys virtually all future recovery prospects. perhaps a hole thru bumper, make shift towing eye, even permenant mount be better.

it is a daft place to put an oil cooler if i am honest
just think if you are on a country road and you hut a rock their goes all your gearbox oil would have been better to put it where the number plate is so it was out the way |
