Recovery points, GU Patrol

I have a current 4.2 GU and the same steel bar you are talking about.. it has a steel hook fitted already (exactly the same as the aftermarket versio from ARB) the only improvment I could see was perhaps the additiomn of a second one on the other Shasis rail in case that one is under mud etc... As for rear, as mentioned above.. it probably comes standard with factory tow bar, fitting a winch or snatch strap to the pin inside your towbar is the generally accepted method for rearwards recover.. ( I haven;t had the displeasure of having to use eaither as yet) but did use the same points on my 99 GU.

Rear recovery is fine. Tow bar will be fitted and I already have one of those fancy solid metal hitches with a shackle attached (Came in handy with the X-trail!). Just a bit concerned about the off centre pull on the single front hook. Thinking maybe a hook on either side so as to be able to equalise the load across them or I'd hate to be digging just to be able to get to my one and only front hook, like mentioned above.

"There are two eyelets on the chassis at the front if things get serious."

These are tie down points and should not be used for recovery.
