Darn, beaten to the punch again!

Over the easter break at camp I got bored and decided to read the entire User Manual of the GQ....haha

I did notice that Nissan actually recommends the rear hook above the tow ball to be the proper recovery point at the rear?

I still don't trust it obviously and will always use the tow hitch slide in hook but interesting anyway...

Dunno if this will be "wrong" in respect to Forum rules (hope not...if so, please delete)
However...I purchased 1 (ONE) recovery point from ARB today for 80 bucks (2.8 GU 1999...3 different types of mounting positions apparently between GU variants, depending on engine)...

and the found this link http://www.lukeys4x4.com/products/re...intsGU-GQ.html

Exactly the same as what I purchased, but for 2.

Postage...dunno. Have no affiliation, or even been in contact with them.

I love equaliser straps, and thats the primary reason I will be mounting two of these on the car. Reduce shock.
I always use the Hayman Reece recovery hitch insert, for "bum first" snatches...great piece of kit

Legalities, ratings, safety...I dunno. But in MY eyes...better than hooks, if used with rated shackles.

Cheers

Here's what I have on DX grunt for front recovery points .... 2005 GU DX ute. I have a left and right hand side. I think they're sold in pairs only.

Sorry for the thread dig...But...

Does anyone know where i can get a set of the recovery points DX Grunt has shown, in Melbourne or online?

In the alternative a few ppl seem to be using the Outback Ideas recovery point that just bolts into 2 holes similar to the factory tow hook but i'd rather the plate.

AB, they may state that it is the proper recovery point "for towing" but I doubt very much it could handle the pressures generated by a snatch strap..........maybe I am wrong but there is no way I want to find out.

The recovery points pictured are not from either shop, they are OUTBACK IDEAS recovery points that these shop have stolen the design from. Feel free to PM me any time if you require rated front or rear recovery points. You should stop buying copies, these idiots have had no input in design testing or fitting. Ticks me right off when ppl get wrong info.
