John, don't most Bullbar mounting kits put a bolt through that tie down point?
Well, at least mine seems to.
Would these still fit?
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.

The profile is the same as what is already there., would be ideal if as you say you could use the larger shackle
bit of work with the die grinder, two smaller shackles with a bridle sounds better
@ BenK not for all then hey
Might only be for the tricky motor/bar combo. Keep ideas coming
Looks like my quest for a one fits all wont happen, but at least I have all models covered

Finally ordered some front recovery points off threedogs...
Happy to admit I have been running the gauntlet for too long!!!
Great stuff mate. Next time I'll pull you out of aeroplane with them. Nah probably good the yota came along not sure you could have stopped if I snatched you out from the front

Just finished fitting a pair of Threedogs recovery hooks to my GU IV 4.2 tdi with a Nissan winch bar.
The Bull bar mounting bracket required some trimming with the angle grinder and the bolt hole through the tie down point needed a bit of reeming.
I used 50mm M12 high tensile (8.8) bolts 1.25 thread, got them from Repco, but Bunnings or any other hardware shop should have them. The original M12 (8.8) bolts are only 35mm long, not long enough. All up about 40 minutes for this old phart to fit. The two forward bolts screw into captive nuts, the bolt through the tie down hole (rear bottom) has a nut and big washers.

good to see you got them fitted looks like I need to modify a touch by scalloping out a small bit.
Some they go straight on others need a bit of a grind, but good thing is they ain't going anywhere

Check out my Toy --> MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up
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.
Yeah it is a bit blury, but click on the pic, then click on the magnifying glass at the bottom right of the pic, then clcik on "view original" magnifying glass that is also on the bottom right of the pop up pic, should now be readable. The text on the pic is basically the same as in the post. Hope that makes sense.
