Guys,
I bought two front recovery points and the rear loop from John.
Top quality (construction and finish), great pricing, quick delivery (melb to perth) and he's always quick to answer any queries and help.
So, from me, you shouldn't buy anything else from anyone else. Unless you like paying through the nose for ordinary.

John, would you recommend using your rear hoop for recoveries? I don't doubt the strength of the hoop, but it was bought up by another member that it is simply held on by the thread of 4 bolts, I would not trust it at all. Maybe for towing but not for recoveries. Like I said I'm sure the hoop itself is up for recoveries my concern is that it's only held on by the thread of 4 bolts.
If you're happy and you know it tap a post!
I have used it on my other 4x4 and this 4x4 plus made them for half a doz Comp trucks in Vic.
Never had a problem, Maybe talk to your local bolt bloke on how threads grab/forces etc to get peace of mind.
I do have backing plates in 6mm that after bolting on use the backing plate with Nyloc nuts .
Originally they were made to go each side of the roller fairlead on Land Rovers, Then I noticed that most if not all 4x4
had the 85 x45 bolt pattern on the rear. I've pulled cement trucks out of muddy drive ways , tojo S the lot.
I'm very confident in it as are some mining companies. Hope it answers some queries you have. I use the Hook BTW not loop
Edit::: Its actually the strongest one I make
Yea Winnie being a rigger/ boilermaker the 4 bolts are plenty to hold that plate on..
But like always make sure the chassis is up to scratch.

I've found some GQs not a lot but some rust away at the front of chassis, where bog holes and bad cleaning has lead to the chassis failing.
Most GQ and GUs Ive looked at, that rear section is pretty well rust free, as no area for mud to sit and do its thang.
3D do you use a backing plate and why a hook vs the loop?
Cheers
Just for different styles, I don't make hook one anymore Billy Bleed got last one.
I like the hook for ease of use, and you'll find things don't fall up. As hook has no retaining clip.
I like the loop as well cause its very very strong on its own and the M20 eye bolt one I call bush hoop.
Edit No I dont use backing plate on my GU or the other one ooops
I have to shout out a big thanks to Threedogs for his excellent service,sent a pm with a few questions regarding his recovery points that he makes all questions answered so I ordered,Cheers great service and the gear looks great too
regards neil
Knew you would be happy. Throw up some picsQuote:

yeah Kallen thanks for the heads up,as for a pic geez mate only just got them and I want to play with them for a while and not scratch them up to much.will let them sit by my computer for a wee while first.maybe tomorrow or the next day.
Make awesome paper weights for the Man Cave LOL
Gotta admit, great set of points. Gotta measure up the space for you TD
So I've put this on taken a pic loaded it up on the computer and looked at it and thought,Geez ya know I wonder if it's meant to be the other way round.Does it matter.?If not feel free to say so.
Anywho here's a pic.
Should be forward facing,
DOH,some how I just knew it..........Oh well back out the shed I go
BAhahahahahah.. that's made my day.. Bahahaha..Quote:

You may need the "TEE" shaped ones, especially if OE bulbar. they fit on outside of bar as per pic.
Looking at those pics I'd say its petrol or a Ti.
Do you have OE hook that bolts to inside of chassis like the backward fitted pic.
It's a 4800 Petrol. Comparing to other pics on the web (of your recovery points attached) it looks like the radiator sits down lower below the chassis than others. This might just be a 4800 thing or might even be a bigger radiator for this part of the world?? Therefore, as you mention the folded one won't have a big enough gap to fit in. Bummer. :(
Looking at the side on view of the bullbar mounted, it would also be very difficult to get the TEE one to fit as well. It has at least a 30 mm lip, but not just at the bottom. The top bolt is "set in" so, it would be difficult to get anything bolted up solid. Looks like my next best bet would be a second OE hook on the other side. Won't be as strong as yours, but if I was pulling off both instead of just one it would be better than now.
Few more pics.
Hey 3D, I have compared this photo with my Troll and it looks the same, can you please PM me the price on the T shaped recovery point.Quote:

hey mate, I have a 98 GU patrol with a TJM bull bar. I would like to know more information on the front recovery points. Can you PM me details about them including prices and I can supply you with what ever info you need, including pictures. Thanks
@ florix this is the style either one or two, being such an early model
I don't think you have the 2 captive nuts under the chassis ,but you could check.
Hey TD, check your inbox please.
Me wants recovery points.
Got my front and rear points today, I only ordered them on Sunday and I'm in perth. That pretty dam quick indeed.
Cheers.
I should have mentioned I wanted the rear point to be black.
Shouldn't cost much to get it powder coated.
Just spray paint it shaun....
OK I'm in the market for a set of these front recovery points. Got my set for my Navara last year from tjm Coburg. The bloke who makes them was unwell at the time and took a while to get a set. Does tjm still carry these ??

Pretty sure TD doesn't outsource his parts to retailers.. You probably bought a rip off copy.Quote:

Just finished painting the rear point flat black. Looks great.
Are the original bolts back there good enough to reuse?
Also not sure if its in this thread but the bolts on the factory recovery point. WTF?
A 19mm socket relates to an m12 bolt, well every bolt I've had but not these they are bigger.
What size are the front bolts and where can I get some from on a Saturday?
