Recovery Points: Recovery points manufactured from flame cut 20mm steel plate pass through the rear bumper and are welded to the mounting bracket uprights for extra reinforcement. The rear bumper recovery points include an elongated slot so that the shackle bow can be passed through the point, allowing the shackle to pivot when pulling from slight angles.
Hi-Lift Jack Points: Designed primarily for Hi-Lift brand jacks, the Hi-Lift jacking point is reinforced with 4mm steel plate to prevent distortion or damage. When the jack leg is inserted into the point, the lip of the jack foot locates past the internal reinforcing plate to prevent slippage.
When not in use, jacking points are fitted with a rubber plug. Knock Outs: Pre laser cut holes are provided in the rear bumper for fitment of the wheel carrier. If no carrier is to be fitted, the knock out sections are simply left in place. Tailgate Support: The tailgate support incorporates a plastic cup assembly that gives full support to the wheel carrier while also allowing for movement between the chassis and body.
The adjustable tie rod connects the carrier arm to the door, allowing the arm to move with the door as it is opened and closed, negating the need for a separate catch assembly. Plastic Bearing Assembly: Machined plastic bushes are used as bearings in the hub.
These should require no future adjustment or servicing. The bearing cap is a push-in interference fit.
