I've got this custom bull bar that was installed on my patrol (2013, y61) by its original owner. I am its 3rd owner and went to install these recovery points on the car, but the underside of the bull bar has a metal plate that blocks the recovery points from fitting into place. See below:
Does anyone know of an alternative style of recovery point that would overcome this issue?
Or is the only legitimate solution to either get a winch for recovery and/or a new bull bar that doesn't take up all this underside space?
That is a total bugger of a situation. Best arrgt is into the chassis so could be a day of jinking around to generate the connection if the bar needs to come off. An option may be to drill and tap the holes into/thru the bullbar plate and chassis, again its a chunk of work. Alternately is to modify the mount then get a shop to weld it to the bar directly, however will depend on how robust the bar steel section is and its mounting points. If its more a cosmetic bar the integrity is probably not going to be there.
