Default Re: Question for those who offroad

While you can use your reciever as a hard point for reovery I would not recommend it. Especially for snatching.

The reciever is okay to use for simple straight pulls but that is about it. If you are pulling from an angle or snatching on the reciever there is a good chance you could bend it as the reciver tube is not braced at the outter most part.

Your D rings are bolted directly through the rear steel bumper into the frame Your rear steel bumper acts as another cross member. Thus allowing the D-Ring to be a much better "hard point" for serious recovery and snatching.

If you southen boys know Curt Ridenour. (I know BigZ and Rouch do) He got his H2 stuck really bad a couple months ago and tried using he reciver as a hard point. He bent the hell out of it.
