Hello chaps,
Are the 'pigtail' recovery loops/towing eyes suitably rated for winch use?
As I'm in the area on the chassis, I will be getting some new bolts (8.8 grade min) but a bit longer to hold on some eyes as well as bumper mounts and the tow bar on the back. They'll also be long enough to fit graded nuts on top of the chassis captives (of unknown grade and 16 years age) though doing them up will be a challenge .
So to use the pigtails or some other item (e.g. Warn hooks - but I don't like those) or drill for JATE ring type attachments?
Cheers,
Dave.
