Thread: Recovery Points

Thought i'd resurect this for reference :wink:

I haven't seen Dave for a while but when I do I'll ask him if he's still pursuing the idea... and whether they'll be cheaper than that.

Sure the ADR set is more expensive than the jate rings but theoretically it's a better way to recover a coil sprung vehicle.

That's a really neat solution Hook.

It seems like a good arrangement for people in States that will allow attachments to the front of the bullbar. You guys in NSW will have to come up with some other alternative I guess.

I note the Expedition Exchange is in USA, are they available in Australia or did you mail order them?

On this aspect I have been chatting to an Aussie recovery point bloke who after discussing with me exactly these issues has decided to manufacture and test a set of these type of recovery points. If all goes to plan he should be able to manufacture and sell locally cheaper than importing from USA and going through that hassle.

Having said that - what would you be prepared to pay for these - ie recovery points and backing plates as a set. :?:

Surely you would pay at least the same as a hook, say $50. If the quality of the work was good as high as $80 I would have thought to be reasonable.

Well he was talking sub $80price as an estimate but I suppose we'll see what comes of it.

I'm really interested (as he is of course) to hear feedback from others among you as I think we should encourage anyone local who is willing to make parts suitable for Land Rover applications.

Looks like they'll be provided in black powdercoat.

This seems like a good idea to me as it would blend nicely with the bar, and not be so obvious as an "addition that may protrude from the front of the bar" if you run into anyone who likes to play "by the book" so to speak.

Also a price of around $160 a pair including backing plate and hardware, is likely.

Comments please, and who is interested in buying some ?

I'll get some mounted to my bar as soon as they pass stress / load testing and I'll post a few pics at the same time.

If I didn't have some i'd get some. If you put a post on the overlander or 4wd monthly forums you may get a few sales as well.

Vlad,

Count me in! Let me know when they're ready and where to send the money.
