I had MR Automotive (Qld LR specialist) fit 2 recovery hooks through the outside front of the chassis rails (and the chassis rails are where you want to attach recovery points) on either side - from these I use a tree trunk protector as a bridal which runs under the bullbar. The recovery points are mounted independently to the bullbar - you would be able to fit the same. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.Quote:

Thanks Scallops - I look forward to the Piccy. Your idea sounds the best actually. Many thanks!
Issue with the bar on an SVX is high beam is obstructed by the bar as they now have a secondary hig beam light, the bar is technically not supposed to obstruct any lights. No change to pre 07 bars just have to make sure you order the bar for aircon cars as the grill sticks out further, sounds like you have someone at your ARB store who does not not know what they are talking about.Quote:

...I am waiting on ARB to do a bar to fit the SVX. They told me one is in development so I may see if I have to wait for the bar or whether there is another solution to adding the rated recovery points before hand.

I have fitted an ARB bar to an SVX, the bash plate does need to be modified for them to go on though.

Really would appreciate what you did as the info I have is there is currently NO BAR for the SVX and they rang Head Office from the store I was at while I was at the counter...??

Thank you for all the replies. I had decided not to pursue the svx option. Mainly due to colour reasons and because I can add the options which I actually need.
Thanks again.
Cooch
Normal bar for the Defender fits on, will interfear with the small high beam light only, is that a problem for you???? only you can answer that, will be checking with customer to see what he thinks about it after using for a couple of weeks now.Quote:

Is it worth it?compared to a thailand made hilux for 45k or a 79 LC ute that needs new suspension straight from the show room for 76k?.Any model deefer is good value. Pat
