Hi.
Just picked up my new warrior patrol, getting ready for a trip.Does anybody know what D shackles fit the warrior rear recovery points.
None of my existing one's fit.The holes look very small.
Thanks for any assistance.
Cheers
Tony

I think everyone is using soft shackles mate. Might be time to change

cheers.No drama in changing my existing soft shackle won't fit thru the rather small holes.
If a D shackle and your soft shackle will not fit through the hole, I question whether the point you are using is a true recovery point. I would be VERY careful here.
I was thinking the same. How many cars actually come fitted with recovery points? Sounds more like tie down points?Quote:

What is the diameter of the hole in the recovery point?
Do not believe everything in the promo material - believe it or not advertising blurb has been known to stretch the truth a tad. Have a real good look at the alleged 'recovery point'. Is it welded or one piece? What thickness material is used? To what is it attached? How is it attached? Is there a certification of any sort anywhere? Is there some rating provided? Has it got smooth edges in the hole that will not damage a soft shackle? Is it simply a 'tow' or 'tie-down' point?Quote:

Away from the car currently. They are definitely recovery points.Quote:

The revised towbar setup features two rear

your mates – out of tough spots.

Can you link to the website so we are seeing what you are. And a photo would be handy.Quote:

For the fronts i'd go these.

Not sure if there is aftermarket rear points for sale, i've never looked. But I'd be looking into those if they are available.
But at the end of the website they also state "§ The towbar as a system is certified to 3,500kg in accordance with Australian Design Rules" so it would appear the recovery points are part of the towbar system, not bolted directly to the chassis like rated recovery points are.Quote:

Will have to check if the fronts fit due under body protection plate and revised suspension set up of the WarriorQuote:

Plenty of those around, cheap and been fine for decades.

I have a receiver hitch and soft shackles for recovery points. Will never require recovering in a y62, only use for recovering other vehicles
