Hi Jeff I wish I could but I am in the States and wont be returning until November. Call Ryan at ARB Maroochydore.

I have a 150 GXL D4D. My local ARB shop sourced front recovery points for me which I had fitted by them. They are excellent. The standard Prado ones are crap.......Tell your ARB shop to get off their tail and source some for you. Hope this helps.

Recovery points

Hi guys, first post on Prado Point so here goes...

Just started the fit out of my new 150 Series GXL Petrol and high on my to-do list was to fit a pair of aftermarket front recovery points such as the Outback Ideas type mentioned numerous times here in the 120 Series discussions.

However when I asked my local 4WD shop about them today they said they had not yet fitted front recovery points to a 150 Series and were not sure that the holes on the 150 Series would line up with those for the existing 120 Series recovery points... (and on my brief inspection of the 150 this evening it does look a bit different to pics others have posted of their 120's)

My question is has anyone fitted aftermarket front recovery points to their 150 yet and if so which did you use and did you run into any challenges or have to alter anything to make them fit?

Cheers
Chris

Everything 4x4 in Cranbourne are selling rated recovery points. Hope to get soon..

They are the ones selling them on eBay. The look the same as the Outback Ideas points except they have an elongated hole which allows you to thread the D shackle through, a good addition. I'll get a set in a month or so I reckon and see if they'll fit with the ARB bar, although hopefully someone else will have an answer by then.

I got the same response from John, though as I am in Melbourne he suggested I drive on over to try them out. As they are about 50kms away I hope to do this on Saturday (as long as it is raining) and I will update the thread on how they go.

Fingers crossed that they fit, been looking for rated recovery points for a while.

Hazza,

ARB recovery point for the 150 are not yet available. He must have another brand.

Bruce

Mates 150 recently had an ARB deluxe bar fitted and a couple of ARB recovery points. Had him over on Saturday fitting up his diff breathers and he asked me a couple of questions about recovering the vehicle using the two points. I showed him my ARB recovery kit and pulled out the ARB rated D shackle to do a dummy fit. What we discovered was the the hole in the recovery points are too small for the D shackle. Has anyone come across this before? Maybe my shackles are too big yet fit same bar on my 120 (recovery points part of the bar and elongated hole).

Will be seeing ARB Salisbury Thursday for an explanation.

I emailed them today to see if they would fit with a TJM bar, the reply I received stated that they had only fitted them up to a vehicle with an Ironman Bar. Have asked what the return policy Is if I were to order them and they wouldn't fit.....

RWO,

I was just looking at the same thing just now, looks promising as seem to be rate???
But the recovery point is rated in itself, but what about how/when it is attached to the vehicle?

Just wondering if anyone has used these front recovery points by Everything 4x4. Apparently they are australian load tested and stamped with a WLL of 5t. They look a lot like the OI points.


I have sent the supplier an email to see if they work with an ARB bar fitted.
