June 21, 2007 - Now that's a little odd.
I went to install the front recovery point last night. It bolts in to the four threaded holes used for the tie-down hooks in the front. But on my car, two of those holes aren't threaded on one side of the car. On the other side, a different hole isn't threaded and another seems to have a thread problem.
Weird.
I'll probably weld the plate to the frame rail and use the two holes I have.
In the rear, I'll have to get a little creative. VWs use a little hoop that screws into a receiver in the bumper, maybe I could adapt one of those. It's tempting to find a place to mount a big D shackle - perhaps I've been spending too long off-road. |
