Recovery Points

[DSPIES]

Threedogs, i've been looking for a decent recovery point for ages for a gu3 4.2 diesal with the low radiator.

Most of the ones i have seen have either been incorrectly advertised and don't fit, or they don't come forward enough which would prove very difficult to get a D-shackle in. - i think ppl recommend the prado ones but the above mentioned problem occurs.

i can tell you the flat plate with the 3 bolt up holes will not fit and the only decent one i have seen on the net are Lukeys but they don't allow for both a shackle and a hook like some of the plates for other vehicles.

Trust me when i say i have checked my local and non local shops around melb and i can not find a suitable front recovery point my 4by. And you wont find Outback Ideas ones anywhere on the net unless every store has decided not to show them as available.

So.. if you sell them, please tell me where i can get one!? or see one!? Or could you please post a pic of one? or PM me info about them?

cheers

Hi Guys, does anyone have a pic with the new/aftermarket recovery points on the front of the patrol? I have looked up my patrol (GU07) and can only see where i can possibly bolt on one aftermarket recovery from Lukey's 4x4 like everyone has posted about, this would be to the drivers side where the heavy duty hook type factory one is already there.
I have a genuine nissan wrap around bullbar (heavey duty) so i am not sure if this is using the wholes required to fit there.
For the rear i have a Kaymar dual tyre bumper and have just taken the tall ball and tongue out and replaced with a toe hitch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated for a noob
Cheers

Please read my Vendor thread, might clear up heaps of questions or PM me, OUTBACK IDEAS recovery solutions I do 3 styles to suit the front of different models and a few to replace the loop, happy to do custom ones as well . Also LUKEY did not 1, design those plates they copied them from me, 2, would not think they are rated mine are. your call buyer beware I say

Hi guys,

Fitted my ARB recovery point this weekend. I have a 2010 GU7 with factory steel bulbar. Here are a few pics of the installation..

A few notes:
- Have cut a bit of the plastic part of the bash plate to fit the recovery point. The horizontal steel part of the bash plate also needs a bit grinding off before I fit it back on. I might have a look at some after market bash plates instead .. the instructions that come with the ARB recovery point have a template cutout to modify the ARB bash plate to fit the recovery point.

- I also had to file then drill out the three holes on the vertical chassis rail with a M14x1.5 tap drill as there were a few tack welds that had blocked the holes slightly.

- Torque spec was 121 Nm for the 5 bolts.

- May lose a small bit of approach angle on the right hand side, but its only for that small area. I haven't measured it yet.

Cheers,
Nick
