    I believe you need special brackets to make them fit, which the PO told me he bought from someone on here who fabricates them.
    Here’s a pic of the seats.

    Two people in the truck ,if not 2+ trucks, makes sense. One can "spot" going over even mild but drop-off type hills.

    Hi-lift jacks, I am told, have a habit of going beserk on the down-lift. the ratchet lock that is supposed to keep it from freely moving (think 2 ft metal metronome handle at 60 flaps per minute breaking your chin) does not always work.

    The ARB tow point is designed to break down and back in case of front collision, unlike the welded on option.

    Yeah, unfortunately ARB doesn’t make a recovery point for first gen’s. No one does, since 4Crawler stopped making them.
    All good though, the bumper I ordered has two recovery points, so problem solved.
