    2025 Patrol Warrior Rear Recovery Points

    Hi.
    Just picked up my new warrior patrol, getting ready for a trip.Does anybody know what D shackles fit the warrior rear recovery points.
    None of my existing one's fit.The holes look very small.
    Thanks for any assistance.
    Cheers
    Tony

    I think everyone is using soft shackles mate. Might be time to change

    If a D shackle and your soft shackle will not fit through the hole, I question whether the point you are using is a true recovery point. I would be VERY careful here.

    I was thinking the same. How many cars actually come fitted with recovery points? Sounds more like tie down points?

    Thanks. But they are definitely recovery points as advertised by Premcar. In the promotional material.Apparently I am not the only one struggling to find a shackle that fits.On the Facebook Warrior group someone suggests Matrax Fuse soft shackle fits.Thay are a 10mm diameter might get one and try.

    Do not believe everything in the promo material - believe it or not advertising blurb has been known to stretch the truth a tad. Have a real good look at the alleged 'recovery point'. Is it welded or one piece? What thickness material is used? To what is it attached? How is it attached? Is there a certification of any sort anywhere? Is there some rating provided? Has it got smooth edges in the hole that will not damage a soft shackle? Is it simply a 'tow' or 'tie-down' point?
    Maybe show us where it is claimed to be a 'recovery point' and/or show us some detailed photos.

    Away from the car currently. They are definitely recovery points.

    TWO 3,500KG§ RECOVERY POINTS
    The revised towbar setup features two rear
    recovery points to help get you – or more likely,
    your mates – out of tough spots.

    Can you link to the website so we are seeing what you are. And a photo would be handy.

    Edit : Just found the Premcar website, I'd be very careful using those. The rear points looks rather small going by the website picture. Which is small also.

    For the fronts i'd go these.

    Not sure if there is aftermarket rear points for sale, i've never looked. But I'd be looking into those if they are available.
