A handy addition to the front end of the vehicle is somewhere to fix a strap if the situation arose where a tow would be needed. I managed to find this pair of genuine Land Rover towing eyes at PA Blanchards.

They bolt directly through the chassis on the end of the dumb irons, sharing the fixings for the bumper. 2 additional holes would need to be drilled to anchor the front of the eye.

Fixings ready to go… and after learning about cold welding, a tub of copper slip was on hand
