Thread: Scallops' Recovery Points

I can see them now, Don't know what is up with my computer.
Can't see how that would go with the SVX as our bash plate wraps around both sides of the chassis rail with a cut out for some of the tie down hooks to stick through.

When I was looking into recovery hooks, i stumbled across an article that described the difference between cast and forged hooks. Bottom line is that cast hooks will fail by breaking, and the hook end becomes a missile. Forged hooks fail by bending, simply letting the strap slip off.

So when you buy your hooks, look for ones that are Forged, When I bought mine, there were two different brands side by side, about $2 difference in price, but one was cast.

I've got a pair of jate hooks of my 07 Fender (departed) if anyone is interested PM me

Scallops,

I was looking at doing the same, but I just looked underneath the front and there is only one bolt hole...


was another hole drilled when you fitted the roo bar? or are they all just different?

Craig

I'm assuming the roo bar just slots over the top of the rails just like your original one has in the pics and bolts top and bottom rather than from the side...That is how our mantec bar was fitted no holes where needed to be drilled.

I was asked this via PM - now, I neither fitted the bullbar myself nor the recovery hooks - ARB did the bar and MR automotive fitted the hooks.

But I think the 2nd hole was drilled on bar install as I'm fairly sure MR said at the time that they didn't have to drill any holes to fit the hooks.

Just got these fitted today. After having a look around, I thought these would do the job nicely. The best part was I didn't need to cut into the bash plate and is mounted to the chassis in 2 places. Just replaced the original tie down points and much easier to access. A happy customer with this modification and should prove quite useful too!

And I am now up to 11 people saying..."oooohhhh, is that a Hummer!" Good grief!

Cheers,

Nigel
