Simply - your 4wd club are a bunch of fools that need to educate themselves...
They all trust a hook bolted to thin metal with 2 bolts over a correctly constructed point that can handle over 6t without deformation...
Do not cut it off, do not bolt something through the "body" on chassis construction...
Use the original point which is designed for recovery..
Just use your brain and don't snatch like a mad man...
Hi team thanks for help regarding this matter. I will definitely by pushing the issue to use the factory recovery points. Will get back to you what the outcome is.
Cheers guys.

Do Nissan Patrols have to replace their welded recovery hooks, or is just Landrovers?

LR 3 onwards have a recovery point.
It was reported any trucks that had welded recovery points.Quote:

Sounds like the 4wd associations in Au - that haven't updated with the times since 1990.
