Re: Aftermarket front recovery points for 150 Series

Good news if anyone is keen Mannell motors at Thornleigh sydney sell front recovery hooks for the 150 one step closer to the GTG

Except they don't fit if you have an arb bar. I've got an outline of them and going to make a template up from wood tomorrow . Will see if I can find a way to fit them. Watch this space

As they say in Toyota speak....Bugger!! I spoke to ARB Coopers Plains this morning and they are going to look at them in Monday to see how to fit them.

Regards, Richo.

Hi All

My trusty ARB employee spoke to Outback Ideas today and told me that Outback Ideas are developing a solution for the 150 with ARB bar, still a ways off yet as after they design it it takes another 3 weeks to get tested.

Re: Aftermarket front recovery points for 150 Series

Hey Guys,Outback ideas need a doner vehicle with an ARB bar to make a template for recovery points for the 150,

Ive been advocating for you guys and making sure he knows there's alot of you guys who want the points.

So here what you got to do:

Be in Melbourne.

Have a 150 with a ARB bar.

let him do his calculations ect and you will end up with a set free of charge for your troubles.

P.m me or email me at [email protected]

Not realy,its a bit hard for him as he cant realy buy a fit kit and go from there as the ARB fit kits can be costly (which is smart realy..as it stops people buying 2nd bars of ebay there for making it cheaper to buy a new bar instead ect ect). Still waiting to see if any one in Vic can get out there! cmon guys!

Re: Aftermarket front recovery points for 150 Series

I can't believe mexico doesn't have a single person with an arb bar that can help. Tell the boys at outback that if they are stuck I'm happy to try and take as many photos and measurements to help if it works.

Cheers

Re: Aftermarket front recovery points for 150 Series

Any update on getting a vehicle to take measurements from? I had a look under the front of the arb bar and it doesn't look promising for finding a suitable anchor point to attach a recovery point to. Hopefully someone else can find something more suitable

Hi Folks

My car is going into ARB for suspension on Friday and I believe that they will take the splash plates off to fit it, at that time I will look at what has to be done to fit recovery points. I believe that it will require trimming the splash plates with a gap and then longer bolts into the chassis points that the splash points bolt into. Then a custom plate designed.

Thx Richo, be interested too see what you think/see. The chassis bolts pose a problem because then erinn front to back, not the side to side which would allow easy bolting of recovery hooks

Re: Aftermarket front recovery points for 150 Series

OK

Spoke to the local ARB guys on pick-up of my car today and they are waiting for Outback Ideas to come up with an answer. I did mention that as they (ARB) had cars fitted with bars they should provide a car for measuring. Let's see what happens.
