Put some fresh rubber on her today, ran some wires and hoses for the gauge and NADS, but this bloody rain ruined the rest of the show :S Can't touch her till weekend now.
Took off the HOOK and replaced with Recovery Points. Noice...
A question for the gurus... What is the wire welded to the locking nut for?? To hold up the shackle, or is it not required???

I think you'll find that the kit is made to fit multiple vehicles, one being the GU. There would have been more nuts and bolts than needed. I'm guessing the ones with the wire are for one of the other models so that you could reach in some space (e.g. inside the chassis rail) and hold the nut while you got the bolt onto it. Not certain, but that's what makes sense to me. Certainly my kit had enough "other bits" to get it all bolted up without needing to use the nuts with the wire on them.
Thanks, Cameron
