Extra Front Recovery Point

[Stampy]

Hey guys, just thought i would put my 2 cents worth in.
I recently purchased an ARB recovery point for the hefty price of $180, i know that they do charge alot for majority of their gear, but lets face it, what you pay is what you get, and ARB engineer and test all of their gear and i've not once seen a product fail (if installed correctly)

I've got a few Shots comparing the genuine nissan hook and the ARB point.

Below you can see it installed



And here you can see it compared to the genuine. Note; my genuine hook is no longer looped around and has streched out after ONE... yes ONE "light" recovery, i am lucky the snatch did not slip off during otherwise the damage might be more than just a bent recovery point. I would not trust these in any recovery situation after seeing this.



Viewing from the front you can see the main strength of the point runs alongside the chassis rail, but there is also a substantial support plat running underneath the chassis rail.



And a view from underneath, 2 more high tensile bolts.



Overall there is 5 High Tensile bolts securing this to the car, 3 more than the standard 2 bolts.
And also it gets bolted to two sides of the chassis rail not just the underside.

Only downfall to this i can see is it might hang a tad low and get caught up on some undulating terrain, but in my eyes its a small price to pay.

Would be nice to see a point for the Passenger side to bridle the two for equal load aswell, id be more worried the chassis will bend before this point gives away
