I measured the distance between the recovery points to determine the ideal length for an equaliser rope.
Excellent: but what is the sideways load limit when using a bridle to distribute the load? (as per
Probably not, why should they? It's pretty theoretical with infinite variables and of extremely limited practical worth.
When using a bridle, there are significant side loads on the anchorpoint. And simple "sideways" pulls are sometimes required in recovery. I am sure the Grenadier recovery points can take them: just interested if they had done any calculations
Just received two of these Beauties from George 4x4. Crazy that these were cheaper (including postage!) than any I could find in the US (seems like here, people are using tree saver straps, which are not ideal!)

Australian made Sheathed Bridle Rope 13mm*14000kg, 4WD Recovery
Bridle Rope is made of a unique ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene material(UHMWPE), also known as Dyneema/Spectra. Extremely high-strength and low-stretch. UV resistant, waterproof and more durable Very light, can float in water. Both ends have protective sleeves and are fully sheathed...
The info. I gleaned on the recovery points was that they have been designed such that individually they can support the full GVM and that the chassis torsional design will accommodate this without distortion.
Is it possible to have figures. The attacment from #arkaig gave horizontal (I guess front) and vertical, but lot lateral (sideways). I would like this quantified also! (I am sure it is more than adequate, but why not quantify, as sideways pulls may be more common than vertical!
I searched in vain for a front 5m and a rear 6.5m proper bridle here in the UK. In the end I I floated it past Red Winches as was ordering other bits n pieces from them and they said one of their 6m tow straps would be adequate for bridle. £19.70 + VAT. Should be ok for occasional use.Just received two of these Beauties from George 4x4.

Yup: That seems to be the position here in the US as well. No one is bothering to mahe "proper" bridles. The problem with using a tow strap is that the main line will not be able to slide as easily to accomodate sideways pulls.
