    Re: Aftermarket front recovery points for 150 Series

    Hi Folks

    Here are the photos, I have had a look and I don't think you would need to remove the bar just the splash plates. I am really happy with the design work the Outback Ideas have put in as the load is spread across a large area and not on the end of the chassis.

    Worth the wait and I trust the only time I have to use them is to pull Nissans out backwards .

    Regards, Richo.
    Passenger side looking forward from over the top of the wheel.



    Closer look at where the point wraps around the bar.



    The point front on, I think they would weigh about 2.5kgs each so are the job.

      Folks

      Sorry about the out of focus second shot, another small mod like the Gravel Rush mudflaps that I'm very happy with as I get a great solution without any grief, well worth it, as I did my usual and had them fitted while SWMBO was at work and put the car back in her carpark, she just commented this morning "what are the shiny red things on my car" shook her head and went off to work.

      Regards, Richo, see ya at the Qld GTG.

        Wow, looks much easier than I expected. Might have to have a crack at it on the weekend! Thx for the insight!

        Did you watch them being fitted to see if there where any 'gotchas' involved?

          Richo, thanks for the pics!

          Forgive my ignorance... But where would I source a set in victoria? I googled outback ideas.... But couldn't seem to locate a website. Is it only available through mannell motors?

          Cheers

            Hi William

            ARB supplied mine, I'm pretty sure that any major fourby shop will be able to get them, Outback Ideas don't sell to the public or even have a website for that matter.

              Hi Ryan

              I didn't stay for the fitting but when you look at the bolts I think that the fitting inside the chassis rails could be fiddly, they did tell me it took two guys an hour to fit them, so you would probably need a mate and a couple of beers to help.

              Regards, Richo

                Thanks Richo, I actually emailed Luke at ARB Kilsyth and he said they didn't have any for the Prado 150!? Is he telling me fibs :evil: I'll give my local opposite lock a go.

                  he may not have them in, but if they sell outback ideas stuff they should be able to get them.

                    Dan, I suspect that they don't stock Outback Idea's gear at all. When I enquired about recovery points for the Sahara bar, this is what I got:

                    I’ve had a chat to some of our engineers here at our Kilsyth office and they have informed me that we have not developed any recovery points for the 150 Prado and not in the process at the moment. They have not ruled them out but we have no time frame or design in mind.
                    I didn't specifically ask for ARB branded recovery points, and he didn't even mention the Outback Ideas recovery points...

                    Cheers

                      is that the head office location? sounds like a head office response..

                        Sure is Silvo, straight from the horses mouth... I figure I'd email them since they were the ones I bought my gear from. They were helpful with my query about the kaymar rear worklight though. So I don't think it's a matter of promoting their own brand...

                        Cheers

                          Hi William

                          It amazes me that an organisation like ARB can't get consistancy across their franchises, don't get me wrong I am a big ARB fan as they have provided good service and the products they sell are tried and tested. ARB Coopers Plains had 4 sets of 150 points in the showroom plus the ones for my car.

                          Regards, Richo.

                                Hi Folks

                                After the Recce for this years GTG in Qld last weekend the 150 lead the way without any issues or need to try the shiny red front recovery points, lets hope that I don't have to use them unless pulling somebody else out

                                Regards, Richo.
