    Recovery Points - Cutting Chassis

    Hey guys,

    I've got a 1999 GU and it doesn't have recovery points...yet. Now, I'm planning on using it the way it's supposed to be used so recovery points are a must as far as I'm concerned.

    My dilemma:
    Got a TJM steel bullbar which needs to come off in order to access the ends of the chassis rails if I'm to open them up to get washers and nuts in. However, I was having a look around today and wondered if you can cut the end of the chassis rails right off? There's nothing attached to them and as far as I'm concerned they don't do anything in terms of the structure of the chassis.
    By doing this, I'll be able to easily slide the nuts and washers in without removing the bullbar.
    Has anyone done this or know if this is a big no no in terms of safety, legality, anything else?

    Here's a picture to show what I mean.
    Green = area covered by bullbar
    Red = cuts
    Yellow = bullbar mounts
