Hey, has anyone had trouble fitting front road safe recovery points?. I have a 2003 Prado 120.
The top bolt will not fit through from the radiator side.
Thanks.

Don't they go on the outside of the chassis rail? I'm not 100% certain on the 120, but the 150 ones sure do[LEFT]Silver 150 Facelift

Yep. Bottom bolt fits into the chassis - chassis is threaded. Top bolt come in through the engine bay. Radiator needs to be loosen but the hole in the chassis is smaller than the bolts supplied.Comment

Couldn't fit the 120 recovery points on mine due to having an Ironman bullbar fitted. Ended up getting a pair of 150 ones and they fit perfectly!Attached FilesDavid (AKA Grumps)

dagree! you are a legend, did you have drill the top hole or was it already there? I'm having the exact same issue, I have the same setup with the ironman bulbar. I am couple days from biting the bullet and going to a steel fabricator to get him to make me up a new bull bar mount from thicker steel to mount recovery hooks on. So if the 150 brackets work that would save me a hell of a lot of mucking aroundOriginally posted by dagree View PostComment

If you don't mind waiting, I'm currently getting the next batch of recovery points that will suit 120 Prados that will bolt straight on. No mods needed.Comment

10 minute job to fit the AMTS ones. No buggering around with loosening radiators.

Yep, AMTS are solid as, well made and easy to fit. Having said that, don't use a cheap allen socket to fit them, or it will bust on the second torquing.Originally posted by r4ndll View PostGreg - 08 D4D Prado,

G'day fellas
I've always just used the recovery points on the ARB bar..... Im guessing these were only made as tow points though.........
Anyone had issues with these failing?
