Scallops' Recovery Points

Good stuff. :)

I put mine on top of the bar but we did look at installing them lower. On advice I went higher on the thinking that if the car is buried to the chassis rails it might be hard to get to the hooks.

However where you have them you would get a much straighter pull on the rails which is good.

Having said that I think just fitting hooks make you less likely to need them due to Murphy's law :D

If you're in a situation where you might get bogged - eg - a club trip in a muddy 4 wheel drive park :D), attach a bridle and wrap it around your bull bar before you get bogged - then there's no problem. ;)

And nice work guys - no excuse for not having proper recovery points. :clap2:

Just replaced the original tie down points and much easier to access. A happy customer with this modification and should prove quite useful too!

Recovery Points

Every time I see this thread title I get this mental image of dan being "snatched" out of killer quicksand by the belt at high speed. Am I the only one with this affliction?

Sorry guys for the late reply to this thread as I hadn't looked at it recently.

They were purchased from here...

Range-Rov Automotive

The service was exceptional and they did a fantastic job. I am really impressed.:)

Scallops, what is the gadget that you put in your towbar? Any chance of a closer pic of that? Where did you get it from? How much?

Hello Steve - its a "block and shackle" - got mine from ARB - $50.00 from memory. The block slides into your tow bar receiver and you attach snatch stap or winch cable etc to the rated shackle it comes with.

Harry (from GCLRO) gave me a good tip with it though - that was to replace the towbar pin with a 8.8 high tensile steel bolt. This prevents easy theft, and is stronger than the standard tow bar pin.

I can take a pic later and post. :)
