Hi Guys,
Being very new to this 4WD caper, I am going through the lengthy process of fitting up my new Pajero Sport with basic but functional recovery equipment.
Yet another question exercising my (small?) mind . . . this one relates to a factory tow bar and rear recovery point/s.
In order to snatch/tow in a rearwards direction, conventional wisdom says that the single hitching point on the factory tow bar is an acceptable place to attach one's bow shackle and/or strap.
There is evidence to say that a bridle is more efficient and safer.
In the photo attached to this, I have circled a 'cut-out' hole of which two (2) exist - one on each end of the 'factory' (?) tow bar.
One for the physics masters on the forum. Would there be an advantage/efficiency/safety benefit in attaching two ends of a bridle to bow shackles secured to each of the cut-out holes? Moreover, would these qualify as 'Recovery Points'?
In anticipation, thank you . . .
