D2 front recovery point design

[David Harris]

What do you all think of this design for add on recovery points for a D2? I'd like to add something like this on until I get/make a front bumper. I will cut a hole on the other side of the bumper to have one on each side and then connect them with a bridle.

Thanks, David

Would something like that work on the front of a D1 as well?

If your going to go through that much work to make a recovery point I'd say just go ahead and make the bumper

I've decided to just trim the front bumper as below and add jate rings through the lower bumper bolts for the time being.

good plan!!

I have been thinking about trimming my front bumper as well but have heard there is a pretty noticeable drop in MPG when you loose that front air dam.

What, from 11mpg to 10mpg?

Looks good. Just make sure the hole is big enough to fit a shackle pin through it with a touch of extra room!!

I can say with confidence I've seen this be an issue in the past.

I have been getting a tracked 14 around town and just pulled 20+ on the highway and country roads around my highway. Don't want to loose that. Esspecially when one has to drive 650km round trip to get to decent trails in Ontario.

14-20? I'm guessing that's kms and not miles?

If you ever worry about mpg in these trucks it is evidence that you should have bought something else.

If you care about MPG, and people ask what you get, just lie.
