this is stoopid

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.

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.

the reason it has that big atf cooler is the previous owners fitted a manual rad ... which was the cause of the gearbox going bang .. so now i have a manual rad with a atf cooler from a 4 litre rangerover .... cos i cant find a mistral auto rad ..... hope that explains things

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
