    That's a really neat solution Hook. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

    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. :roll:

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

    Very Tidy Hook, Ironically, the recovery points on the front of Grover are exactly the same, just a little larger. Only difference being is that mine are for lifting and recovery. Much less likely to break than a hook in my opinion.

    Now I just need to get mine fixed ops:

    Just tried to find a pic of mine, but I can;t find a decent one, i'll need to grab the missuses camera.

    Yeah hook - I like em.

    1. How much ?
    2. What are the backing plates made from....
    3. What are the bolts holding them on ? They must have a lot of tensile strength but they don't look that way. ARe the bolts provided with the hooks ?

    Hook, went to the gallery to check out your recovery points, and was admiring your snorkel while i was there. It doesn't seem to extend forward along the side of the car as far as some of the ones I have seen, which makes it look better.

    Does your disco have the square airbox? Also does it have ABS (this does make a difference to snorkel fitment apparently!)?

    Thanks

    Kev raises an interesting point:

    An accident between a car and a predestraian is always going to go badly for the pedestrian - the fitting of some recovery hooks as described notwithstanding.

    But uf you didn't fit them it might then be argued in court that a 4wd accident resulting from the lack of proper recovery points makes the owner of the vehicle culpable.

    Can't have it both ways can we ?

    No offence meant, but - Bloody Lawyers ! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

    I know there are restrictions here but I think oje has to wigh up if there are any real dangers, the chance of getting stopped/booked etc.

    In QLD for example rod holders are OK as long as they are rotated around so they do not protrude, when not in use.

    The Dept of Transport will have a booklet on vehicle modifications that talks about these issues. Should be free.
