New rear winching attachment points.
Front winching points Jate-rings x2, (normally stored in the van).
Rear winching points Jate-rings x2, (normally stored in the van).
Our expectations and reasoning behind this.
Whilst the towing point is suitable for road use, it appeared a bit flimsy to us for off-road situations.
So we have uprated them and fitted a second one on the other side.

In-use reviews.
Pros.
Stronger than the originals.
Two fixing points instead of one, (a second original could have been fitted).
Can still be used without Jate-rings.
Possible rigid towing bar attachment point.
Possible A-frame towing bar attachment points.
Front bash-plate modifications will increase storage space. (Work still in progress).
Cons.
Heavier than the originals.
Harder to tie into if Jate-rings are not fitted. (leave Jate-rings fitted when off-road).
The front bash plate needed modification. (already planned for increased storage).
