    Wonder if the OP's club also recommend using a towball for recoveries? Seriously. Who in their right mind would recommend the OEM hook to do recoveries from?

    The $180 to fit it was also pretty amusing (as long as you aren't paying the bill).
    Thanks, Cameron

    Im thinking that they're not talking about the hook that comes on them all from the factory. I think he means an aftermarket recovery hook that is made by nissan as he mentions fitting. Not sure but that's my guess

    Don't really know mate, as I wouldn't have thought Nissan wouldn't make aftermarket recovery hooks. I'd be keen to see a Nissan "aftermarket" recovery hook though.

    So I don't mean to cause any trouble in posting other sites products so please inform me if I shouldn't do it, But has anyone here tested this rear recovery point/option? These just go straight into the where the towbar goes right?

    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.

    The one for the towbar is just an ordinary recovery hitch and is a must for rear recoveries as tow balls can kill!
    As for the front ones, get in touch with threeedogs on the forums here, his front recovery point outback ideas, are the most popular around here.
