Does anyone know where I can get recovery eyelets like these ones here: Attachment: 427335_350823744995908_1057780185_n.jpg Or, on buzbox's sierra: viewtopic.php?p=648664#p648664 Ive searched the forums and google, but I can't seem to locate them. |

They aren't recovery points, you'l find they're probably rated to about 1 ton. |

^^^ what he said. they're a lifting eyelet, not rated as recovery eyelet due to the side loading etc that they can receive. |

Search lifting eyes. Most chain and rigging places would have them. I "think" they are OK for winching, but not snatching. Even then it would depend on the load rating... |

Not really related but do you know how much those xrox bars are if they make a vitara version? |

A lifting eye that is suitable for winching a 2t car would be an M27 thread, and would poke out 110mm from the face of the bar. the eyelets fitted to those X-rox bars are rated WELL under 2T. |

My brother purchased one for his Xrox bar from the local nut & bolt store, however they're not used for towing just to hook the winch on when it's not in use. |

Thanks for all your help guys, I think I've been put in the right direction. If anyone was curious what I was using them for, I've got an XROX bar on order and I liked the way they looked on the picture I attached. So that's pretty much all I'm going to use them for hahaha Judging by Fatzook's comments I don't think I could use it for much more than using it for looks or hanging up my handbag hahaha I wouldn't be too keen trying to actually recover off them hahaha |

I'd say leave them off - before some clueless person does try to use them. |
