    Recovery points on 2013 Y61?

    Can someone please tell me where and if there are rated recovery points on the 2013 Y61/GU?

    I got bogged on a recent trip and used the hook under the rear doors, thinking that MUST be a fair dinkum recovery point as it is so prominant. Was I correct?

    How about on the front???

    Hey Matt,

    That hook on the rear is definitely not a recovery point. I think Nissan call it a tie down point used for shipping the cars.
    Next time I would remove the tow hitch and put the pin through the eye of the strap.

    Oh Christ, bloody hell, lucky that recovery went OK then, I reckon I might even remove it, that's pretty dumb.

    Thanks for the help.

    Yeah it definitely looks like one and is very tempting. I reckon there would be a lot of people out there using them as recovery points.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I have removed the rear tie down point and have used the holes to secure my trailer sockets. Looks a bit crappy, but it raises the sockets above the tow bar and also stops anyone using the loop as a recovery point.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.
