Gaurav Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 1 minute ago, desertdude said: There is a reason why they are called tie downs, as in secure a vehicle while being transported and that's what they are made for and rated for. Not for off road recoveries Again this is a dated information from few dino centuries ago. Show me one "STOCK" 4x4 who is rating there hook today? None. Read that AU thread and you will understand the saga of tie-down vs rated. If MMC engineer tested Pajero stock tie-down for 3 ton KG, then both hook can last for 6 ton easily to airlift that 2.5 ton pajero of its feet. 2 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Because we are talking about paneros from a few dino centuries ago! Lol oh while we are at it Cruiser,patrol, Armada, most Chevy)GMC and Ford trucks and pickups. Most Land Rover vehicles, Wranglers so on and so forth. Strangely enough not all of them have points both front and rear.

Per A Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Just to clarify too in the manual they are not mentioned as "tie downs" but as towing hooks so they are made for recovery but are not rated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between recovery and off-road recovery. For example the range Rover manual states you can use the rear point for off road recovery but not the front.
