Surely a ring hitch is for commercial use only? So what use would a NATO hitch be to you apart rom a good recovery aid?

The sankey trailer comes with the ring hitch... hat's why I need to use a nato hook

[Nato hook on a 2008 defener 90]

I want to use a nato hook on a 2008 90 defender and wondered what the best way of doing it was?

1. Does a dixon bate adj bracket allow the hook to be high enough?

2. Are the 4 pre threaded holes in the centre of the rear crossmember mean't for a nato hook (if not what are they actually for)?

I plan to use the hook for a sankey trailer and would like it to sit level when towing.

Thanks in advance

[New wheel and tyre question?]

What is the biggest wheel / tyre you can put on a 2008 90 xs without any modifications or underbody rubbing etc??

I'm thinking 265 / 75 / 16 but wanted to check to see if I can go bigger??

Thanks in advance

[Defender tools and essential spares]

Interested to hear what tools / spares you carry as an 'on vehicle' tool kit...

Perhaps also a 'always on board' tool kit / spares package and what would be added to this for mini expeditions??
