Recovery Points

[Rusty86]

I've searched a few other threads regarding GU recovery points but looking under the front of mine it's hard to work out what's the same as other pictures I've seen.

I am aware that the U-shaped hook thingy is more of an emergency recovery point if you're caught short, it's the other eyelet things - are these just tie-down points or can I attach rated recovery U-shackles straight to these?

Otherwise something like this would be the go and bolt on around that same area? http://www.lukeys4x4.com/products/re...intsGU-GQ.html

Cheers,

i would swap them to the one's like in the link you posted, that is very good price for the pair. I will look at ordering a set myself as all the others I have seen are 95-125 each

you can use the tie down points as long as you use a tree trunk protector or simular(rated) short strap attached with 2 bow shackles one on each tie down point and thread the tree trunk protector threw the snatch to even the load (don’t use a bow shackle to attach the snatch to the tree trunk protector).
hope this makes sense

So these are actual factory recovery points do you think? They look quite strong but I know that doesn't mean much when it comes to a hard recovery.

Man $95 EACH that seems a lot for a small metal plate doesn't it ??!! I thought that was a lot for the pair! haha

I will look into getting these maybe and the tow hitch and shackle and the rated shackles (in a recovery kit) are pretty cheap at the moment from the Tigerz11 website

they are tie down points and arent realy designed to be used as recovery points personaly i would fork out the 95$ for the pair just to be safe you wouldnt want to use the tie down points in a serious boghole.

the site says $95 for the pair also.

G'day Rusty. I've got a set of recovery points from Outback Ideas (through my local 4x4 part supplier). The eyelets are tiedown points and the hook is a tow point (not snatch recovery) but get used for that anyway. Hope this helps.

Guys check this forum out http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...?57-4x4-Safety I would only ever use Rated Recovery Points. $100-150 for recovery points that are rated/fit for porpose is 2/3 of stuff all compared to a death or serious vehicle damage
