New Defender L663 Recovery Kit

Recovery Kit for the New Defender L663: a rated kinetic rope, two soft shackles, a tree strop, gloves and a bag.

Recovery equipment is the most important safety equipment an off road vehicle carries. Everything here is rated, marked with its working load limit and minimum breaking strength, and sold with the advice to use rated recovery points only, never a tow ball. The new Defender is a monocoque on air or coil springs with electronic everything, and nearly every module on it wants programming after it is fitted.

Fitting

Labour guide: not applicable. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.

Which version to buy

Standard is the standard specification, which is what most vehicles need and what we would quote unless you told us otherwise. Heavy Duty is the heavy duty specification for expedition, towing and commercial use, rated beyond the factory figures.
