A Jate Ring - a military Land Rover version shown here - can be fitted to the rear of a Land Rover and Discovery

...but not to a One Ten when the towing unit bridles are fitted. If you have a NATO Hook on the rear crossmember you can.

Don't over-tighten the nyloc nut as you might need to 'kick-down' the Jate Ring in order to remove the shackle or winch hook after the recovery. Again always use a bridle when appropriate.

Always use David Bowyer's Jate Rings

Steel bridled rear towing units are fine for heavy towing, but better to have the sliding tow ball carrier to the top in line with the chassis for revovery work.

A wider version is available to suit these vehicles fitted with a Southdown Steering Guard which covers the outer sides of the chassis.


Classic Range Rover pre EFI - Front

Similar fitting eyes on 101's

Never use standard lashing eyes for revovery purposes ...
