Recovery Points....Completed!

Post by BenRich »

As my Lux does not have proper recovery points at the back, I decided to make some descent points myself :thumbup:

Using 10mm steel plate and going to attach to towbar assembly (also 10mm steel) with four M12 Hi-Tensile bolts each.

Hole's for shackles are 20mm and will fit during the week...Will post more pictures as I progress (FINISHED THEM YESTERDAY)

:surrender: The use of the magazine is purely for size illustration...and by no means any relation to the size of the Patrol on the cover.. :taunt:

Bennie, lyk eintlik heel eenvoudig om self te bou. Dankie vir daai idee. :thumbup:

Is jy tevrede met jou Camil suspension?

My eerlike antwoord - Ja :thumbup:

Vir my bakkie en my doel met die bakkie is dit 100%. Ek kan die bakkie laai en sy sak glad nie. Leeg ry sy ook baie lekker.

Indien jy baie wil veldry en "trails" is die duurder opsies soos OME, Iron Man, Bilstein beter! Die Camil se artikulasie is beperk weens die coil agter, maar as jy n diff-lock het pla dit ook nie te erg nie.

Dankie - herkou nog al die opsies. Weet nog nie wat ek ga gebruik nie. :problem:

Bennie, met die regte hoeveelheid artikulasie agter (en voor) het jy nie eens nodig om daardie diffloc aan die regterkant te druk nie.

PS. Daai Patrol is darem maar baie mooi.

PPS. Lekker plan op jou recovery punte.

Ek dink dit lyk netjies en ek soek ook :D:

Een ding wat ek nou net oor wonder, jy het die vier HT boute wat daai recovery punt vashou, daai is goed en baie sterk. My vraag is nou met hoeveel boute is jou towbar mee vas? Ek weet ek "state nou die obvious" maar 'n ketting is so sterk soos sy swakste skakel.

It's as Cassie said .... the weakest link. There appear to be only two bolts through the chassis .... and then there's the chassis itself, how thick is the chassis rail at the back. I know I tore those holes on my previous lux and had to reinforce them with an internal gusset and bigger holes for two bigger (thicker - 16mm) HT bolts. :winkx:

Cassie, Ek het daaraan gedink, maar is self nie 100% seker nie. Van wat ek kan sien is die towbar met 6 M12 HT boude vas aan die chassis. Miskien is ek verkeerd maar jy het n geldige punt...

Ek het toe gekyk...6 M12 boude wat die towbar aan die chassis vashou. Ek het my punte getoets op n boom wat nie wou padgee uit my erf nie.... :aggresive:

Ek het gewen... :thumbup:
