Probably best to have a bridle or strap already attached if it's likely you will get stuck. Although securing high up on a standard car may be difficult as I've seen plenty come off and end up getting wrapped around the wheels.

Thanks James, I thought about doing just that and tie the bridle up on the front bumper, but apart from a lack of suitable mounting points I was worried it might get snagged on something and put undue strain on the bumper.
I suppose I could get a short fabric strop and just extend one recovery point to just above the bumper, that would be fairly easy to secure with some shock cord.

I fitted a Jimnybits transfer case cover today.
It was fairly straightforward but the two bolts which pass through the frame/transfer case mounts weren’t the easiest to locate and tighten.
i only have the rear diff to do now, but that is back in my paint shed for a final coat.

I found a 550mm long soft shackle from Terrafirma, that might do the job
