Front of the Vehicle


Object Number: 1613273  Size: B3

Rear of the Vehicle


Object Number: 1613274  Size: A2

The vehicle is equipped with two loops on the front and back ends of the vehicle. You may need to use them if you are stuck off-road and need to be pulled out to some place where you can continue driving. The loops meet MIL-STD-209J for the tie-down specifications and not for vehicle lifting.


Object Number: 1613275  Size: B3

Caution: These loops, when used, are under a lot of force. Keep people away from the vicinity of the loops and any chains or cables during use. Always pull the vehicle straight out. Never pull on the loops at a sideways angle. The loops could break off and you or others could be injured from the chain or cable snapping back.

Notice: Never use the recovery loops to tow the vehicle. Your vehicle could be damaged and it would not be covered by warranty.

When recovering the vehicle, you should determine the direction of the recovery by the distance required to free the vehicle from the surrounding terrain.

Secure the towing cable to both front or rear loops with a V-device to gain an even pull on both anchor points and avoid damage to the vehicle.
