Rear Recovery Point in Tow Hitch

[Finly Owner]

Now here we have the ever erupting what's right and what's wrong.

Receiver and pin only; will withstand most general recoveries at a straight pull with most general recovery straps. Endeavour Rally only accepts this type to be used no possible missiles in strap if any thing does go wrong. All welding is to boiler maker trade certificate certified for receivers front and rear must be fitted.

Bow shackles rated are actually rated for load strain not instant snap strain.

the Billet steel recovery point and bow shackle are a safe angle pull option as long as all weight factors are calculated, so to reduce the chances of bow shackles breaking and becoming missiles.

The Factory Nissan recovery point is actually stronger than most people think. They are not mild steel,(I can't remember what steel it is) (but I could find out) and the hook is actually baked and cool to create strength. QNPC is happy to use them in snatches.

So in summary I can use all three methods and all so carry a snatch dampner blanket. I don't think any of these are wrong, but all are right, as long as all safety concerns are eliminated or, the very least reduced. Three people only involved in the snatch; The recovery vehicle driver, the stuck vehicle driver, and a caller standing in safe zone.
