Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

And anything welded to the chassis is only as strong as the welds.....geez im confuddled!
SPEED METAL NEVER WENT AWAY>>>>> ONLY OUR HEARING DID!!!
Thats what gets me about the brackets you can buy for $100 - $150. They are only rated to what they are bolted too and the bolts used. Its the point they are bolted to that needs rating.
Yes you will need High Tensile bolts. These recovery points are designed to bolt tot he Chassis using Factory installed Captured Nuts on the Inside of the Chassis Rails. You would need to tear the Chassis rail side out for it to fail!

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.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

I understand that is as good as its going to get, but im sure that some vehicles that have seen plenty beach work would have less steel thickness than a brand newey. I use the Nissan supplied hook at the moment as i cant see that thing failing any worse than an aftermarket one. i just wish they supplied 2 of them.
Agreed. You can go to the Wreckers and find a Patrol that still has the one on the front and there is a spot on the Left side that it will bolt straight too

That's a good idea. I'm gonna have a look for one. Cheers Mate.Agreed. You can go to the Wreckers and find a Patrol that still has the one on the front and there is a spot on the Left side that it will bolt straight too
Hi once disturbed, I'm John from Outback Ideas, just letting you know all recovery points are mainly copies of mine. if they tell you they designed them they are telling porky pies. All my recovery points are proof rated to match the tow rating of the particular vehicle. they are then destruction tested to acheive a min. of 15t break. most copies are not rated some even made of questionable steel. do your homework. i have points to suit all Gus even large radiator models. check your local shops.
mate if you havent then post up in the vendor thread a link to your website or where you can get them.
Danny from 4WD TV is working on the web site, hopefully not much longer, all the main shops sell them TJM, ARB, and Opp loc. As I said mine are RED with a yellow sticker most others are copies from low lifes who have had no imput into design, testing or fitment. just copy them for a quick buck at my expense.
