Hey Ages,

If the mounting is the same as an ARB bar then they should.

It's an unknown at this moment in time sorry.

we will keep you updated.

Just had my fitout complete which I will post later. We have found that with the steel bar that the standard Outback Ideas recovery points cannot be fitted as the protection plates from the bull bar mount to the same points. So the OI guys are working on a modified one to suit as we speak

Outback ideas make a 150 Recovery point that suits the ARB steel bar and if the mounting are similar then hopefully they will work.

They must of been using the 120 ones as i have not sold any to OL as of yet.

Re: Aftermarket front recovery points for 150 Series

I have a Toyota bar fitted.
By the looks of it, I would have the same problem as you guys with ARB/TJM bars and as the bottom hole has a bolt through it for the bullbar.
Until something solid is developed and reported here as working well, the only real option is a load distributing strap on the factory "tie down points" and take it easy.
cheers

There isnt a problem regarding these hooks and the ARB/TJM bar.

They are solid and been rated rather high!

It'd be great if you could get a few photos of how it fits with the Arb bar as well as how it looks once you put all the plates back on.

Is there any more info/progress on tow points for the 150?
If there is, where in Brisbane can I get a set?
Any photos of successfully fitting?

Hi Ron

ARB at Coopers Plains are doing a set for me in the next week or so, not cheap though at $165.00 plus fitting, as soon as they have been fitted I'll post some pictures.

Re: Aftermarket front recovery points for 150 Series

I have now seen the recovery points and understand where and how they fit to the vehicle.
My question is why can't I make my own?
All they are is a piece of 6mm thick flat plate with 3 holes drilled in it. I have access to suitable steel plate and cutting and drilling equipment.
After looking at my ARB bar, they could have incorporated the recovery points into the chassis mounting bracket.

Hi Ron

I suppose it's all about liabilities, I'm happy to pay for the research and testing from an accredited supplier and fitters. ARB told me that they are of the same opinion as to the liability issues hence no recovery points on the new bars. An interesting point is that looking at a Pradopoint members older ARB bar last weekend, the incorporated recovery point is bent after an apparently mild recovery that required a slighlty off centre pull.

do you have a bullbar Richo? i was talking to ARB about it, what put me off was the fact they had to remove the bullbar, fit the points, then put the bullbar back on.. the "fitting" was going to cost a bit..

Hi Silvo

ARB are taking my bar off anyway as the powdercoating needs attention so they are putting them on then they quote $70.00 to fit them.

Hi Folks

Well after a long wait and many attempts to get a result it has happened!! The Outback Ideas rated recovery points are fitted to the 150 with an ARB bar, from what I can see they can be fitted without removing the bar. They are very large I'd say around 200mm long and approx 6 - 8mm thick, they have 2 fixing points one at either end and are stamped and rated. I got home in the dark tonight so I will take some photos tomorrow and post them.

Regards, Richo.

Richo,

Please let me know if you can do them WITHOUT removing the bar, ive got a set sitting on myshelf at home (next to the new Gravel Rush mudflaps) but havent had the time to investigate as yet.

Cheers
