Taking the VX to an Off Roading Event !!!!

[crotchrocket]

So i bought the VX 3 weeks ago and i am taking it off roading for the first time this weekend (first propper time for me too!) Its the reason i bought the car!

I have road tyres still which is a real pain which means the main questions are about recovery points. I want recovery ropes readily available and i have read other threads saying the transportation tie down eyes are safe to use?

I have 2 shakles that i can attach to the front eyes so i can have a rope ready and wrapped arount the spot lights, on the rear there is only one eye, can i tow from this?

I don't think they will recover me from the hook on the front incase it slips off?

I saw Little Beast has 2 hooks, can i replace them with bolted shackles instead??

i have used those two transportation points in the rear to pull stuck folks before.. they are holding up fine.. i would recommend that you only pull on those straight forward and back though.. as little sideways motion as possible

i use the front hook still but many do complain about it.. they arent welded to the frame or anything so it would be fairly easy to make a loop to go there.. but as far as i know. there arent any readily available for order

how much time do you have? a tow hitch with a D ring shackle in the receiver makes a fantastic tow point for the rear

The eye on the back is strong enough to pull a VX out of a tadpole pond

HAHAHAHA, that is great!

I have used the front two hooks on mine to pull a 4 door luxury sedan out of a huge ditch and they held up fine.
