Thread: 2012 110 recovery points..!!

I added a dixon-bates hitch replacing the tow ball - has a pin and a towball on the rear, the rest of the towing assembly is fine

On the front its a bit more tricky, you need good load transfer to the chassis so a bullbar or a bit of platework is required.

I purched a set of front recovery points from Richard Nicholls (0439 718 555) of Adventure Offroad Training in Perth. I've taken a couple of photos of the recovery points and saved them in the AULRO Members Gallery.
They were $150 a pair from memory and are 10mm steel and are powder coated. The lower hole uses the existing towing eye bolt and the upper two bolts require one side of the chassis rail to be drilled. You need to take off the bumper (and grille) to get to the nuts on the inside of the chassis rail. A couple of shims are also used at the upper bolts as the chassis rail steps in 3-4mm from the lower bolt at the hi-lift jacking point.
Hope this helps.

Went to one of my local 4wd shops and he was unsure where to fit then & what type to use.

If any one could post up a photo of what I need to do would be great..

It'll be good to see what comes out of this thread.
It's one of the many thing we'll talk about Sunday week

Sounds great Alien. Looking forward to Sunday.

Thanks MC90, found your photo.

Explans every thing, just sat under the front of mine with my iPad. All clear.

Use standard towbar at the back and fit JATE rings to the front (assuming you dont have a bullbar or winchbar already.

anyone seen or used these .. apparently they go over a defender bumper and use the same holes that the bumper uses to bolt to the chassis..

Dont think they would pass muster in NSW with the protrusion laws...
