ROVRMAN2 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Is there any strong front recovery point on the LR3? The front tow loop is just a tie down. The ARB has no place to weld on recovery points b/c of crush cans. The chassis frame is too low. Any suggestions? SOL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandRonB Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 On paper, it's only a tie down, but it can support 2x the LR3s GVW. I probably wouldn't use it for kinetic recovery but I've seen it a few times @ Pismo where it was used for being recovered via winch or static recovery strap, and have not seen it come apart. Anyone here experience the front recovery loop on their LR3 fail? Didn't think so! Speaking of Pismo, any interested in a wknd trip in Sept?

lithium1330 Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 With the ARB bumper, you need to bolt on or weld on shackle mount.I did the bolt on with back plate on my bumper... There are a few places that sell these. Make sure you mount this close to the frame mount points as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROVRMAN2 Posted August 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Crush cans are mounted to frame then the bumper on mine. Aren’t you worried about your crush cans getting yanked outward on a pull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROVRMAN2 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 You could call them a 2ndary bumper-spacer to prevent airbags from going off in a very minor collision eg. < 10mph. I think at speeds > 30mph the cans are pushed in far enough to set off the airbag sensors. All ARBs are required by Australian law to have them. I suppose that in US you could discard them if you don’t have airbag sensors, but then your front end would cost you big $$$$ if you have a collision.
