Visited him using this 8 year old tip! Mr. Dalal is still going strong, very patient and helpful. Picked up 2 rated D shackles and a 6 mtr tow strap rated for 5 tons. Wanted the slim decorative bow shackles for my rear bumper but didn't have time to find them.

Tip for visitors: Ditch your car and catch a cab to the Carnac Bunder bridge side, then it's just a 2 minute walk through the lane. Place closes at 6pm sharp, so call ahead and check he has what you want.

Being adventurous, I drove the Dmax from the Masjid Bunder side. Let's just say my front bumper cam was well used

Can you please share the cost of shackles and the tow strap?

There's a new Indian site called Haathi4x4.com which is selling tow straps online at a reasonable rate. Anyone has any experience with them?

Picked up a 5 mtrs long tow strap rated for 4 tonnes from Mayapuri, Delhi. As mentioned by TSK1979 in one of the earlier posts, there are a number of shops in Mayapuri selling lifting slings/ straps, catering primarily to cranes/ lifting machinery. The cost was only Rs 960. 5 ton strap (5 mtrs) was for Rs 1160.
A substantial difference in price vis-a-vis the online prices.

I hope you have bought D Shackles to connect rope to a vehicle (except pintle hook).
Please share name of shop for everyone's benefit.

I didn't buy the shackles, as I need to carry this stuff in a flight. Didn't want to increase my baggage weight. Shackles should not be hard to source anywhere.

I don't remember name of the shop, but google pin of the location is as below:-

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Rmj3Q

You can also search for 36 Toyota Mayapuri on Google maps.

Once you reach this road (Mayapuri main road), keeping Hyundai/ Toyota showrooms to your left, a km or so down the road, you would find a number of shops selling lifting/ hoisting equipment, including slings/ straps.

Hope this helps.

If I remember correctly, I paid around 3000/- for the 6 metre strap and around 100/- per shackle. Nothing extravagant.

Can anyone help me with a tow hook or recovery hitch for the Gypsy with OEM bumpers -- something that can be bolted on to the chassis rail ends, front and back ?
The U shaped tow points seem frail, and anyway, one cannot attach a big (4ton & above) D shackle to the front end because of the stabilizer bars.

I would prefer two points at each end, for distributing load. Can any bolt-on hook be had in India, for a just price ?

I have booked a Thar Petrol AT and eagerly awaiting delivery.

I want some pointers as to where I can source 4x4 equipment for the Thar in Bangalore. I'm interested in the Bimbra bumpers + winch and a few other small accessories. Also, where in Bangalore can I source BF Goodrich AT tyres ?! I had them on my Scorpio and absolutely love them !!

Please get educated on safe usage of winches and other offroad gear.

Guys can anybody please point to a place who sells soft shackles.

The Tow hooks in the Duster is pretty small and not all Dshackles fit in it. Also there is a chance of damaging the rear bumper. So soft shackles are the best best.

Have two pieces of 14mm shackles left if you are interested.
