Hi, I've skimmed over the many posts here and I am finding it hard to find information on aftermarket recovery points for my GU. I know that Outback ideas made points, but don't seem to be making them anymore.
Does anyone know where I can get some good quality points for my truck?
Cheers mate, as mentioned in the PM. My mate has a friend from work and she has just purchased a Tojo and it came with 5 x 35" BF Muddies with over 50% tread left and she only wants $300-$400 for the whole set of 5 including good rims....I just can't say no to that...lol...Going to check them out this week.Quote:

Try places like BBM motorsports, ARB, Superior engineering.

I read this thread last night. I went to OL in Orange today, they could not help, suggested that I go to an engineering place, which I did, but they wanted $200 a side. Not paying that, $400 total.
OL had some Outback Idea points but they did not fit properly as they wedged themelves at an angle between the air deflector under the bull bar and chasis rail.
Went to ARB, they had a smiliar one, which they copied and made themselves and did exactly the same thing.
I even looked at the landcruier points but they were too wide and did not line up with the holes and rubbed up against the mounting braket for the bar.
This is my problem. I've looked and tried and now confused, what to do?
All you can do is keep trying recovery points from different manufactures until you find some that fit properly.
Are you able to take a photo of your car to show the air deflector and chassis rail? Is it possible to trim the air deflector a bit to allow the points to fit properly?

Hey Mick, before I upgraded my 2007 GU to my current 1990 GQ, I purchasedt some recovery points from Mandurah ARB and they were great.
Try your local ARB shop and if they do not stock them let me know and I will find out the manufacturer for you mate.
I thought of trimming the deflector, and that's probably what I'll need to do. OL have two points ready to fit, but the chasis rail only has one set of captive nuts on the inner right hand side of the car, the left hand side does not have captive nuts, but holes are in the correct position.
I will try to get some pics up tomorrow arvo of the holes on the chasis rail.
Attached is a picture of the type of plate that OL is selling, the three triangular holes at the top line up with the three holes on the side of the chasis rail.
The large oval shaped hole is parallel to the ground, the point leans to the front of the patrol.
I will probably go with these, but just wanted other options as I'm not keen on cutting things up under the car.
Hope this clears things up.
Mick when I fitted mine, similar to those I just remembered that I had to use the angle grinder to cut a section out of both sides of the front skid pan/protector, just letting you know mate before you purchase them check it out.
take a look at mine on my pic`s much better than those flat plates, they are blo%dy hard to fit
the ones i have bolt straight in existing holes no modification at all
