Yesterday, I fitted my front Jimnybits recovery points. Didn't take as long as I expected overall, the slowest part is cutting the bumper slots. Then keep trial fitting and trimming, trial fitting and trimming again and again and again and on and on. You get the picture.
Once you have the first slots in place and can then see the RP centre lines, it is easy to judge how much left and right you need to trim. The harder part was working out how to vertically position the slots, that's the trial and error bit.
Stands out well against the dirt. Loosely held in place.
All bolted up.
First undersized slots cut.

Until very recently we had shackles on the front...until I realised that a "clunk" we had going around corners was the shackle sliding sideways in the bracket.

Chris, It went back on, but the two lower clips were a pain to fit back in place. But overall I think the recovery points would be easier to fit with removed.

Just realised I never posted about the Jimnybits rear recovery points. I fitted these in October just in time for the BigJimny meet.
I also got the Machine Mart Bridle as recommended by a few people on here. I did buy some rated bow-shackles though as the ones supplied weren't.
