FRONT RECOVERY POINTS 4 LIGHTWIEGHT?????

Postby maadmaan10 on Wed May 05, 2010 10:33 pm

]Anyone got ANY ideas how I can get two proper recovery points on the front of my Daihatsu - and don't tell me to buy a Landy!
Seriously, because it's a lightweight it does not have a full chassis so at the very front, behind the plastic bumper - there ain't much there!!!
There is a cross member into which screws the towing eye for ROAD towing, but the member is hollow and not that heavy.
Come on,any ideas PLEEEEEASE :oh:

Without having a look, I can't be sure, but there is something under there strong enough to hold the whole thing together. I guess you would need something fabricated and welded - maybe drop it down to Nick4x4's for him to have a look at?!?

Cheers
