Aftermarket front recovery points for 150 Series

The quote only lists a TJM part number RSRPPRA150 but as these look the same as Brains I think it is same to assume that RSR stands for RoadSafe Recovery.

Yeah they are the Roadsafe ones, same as I have. I'll be hanging out for those pics just to see if a) your bar mount is the same as mine and b) how they fitted them (have seen a few different ways now).

You can get the roadsafe ones from Bursons. I just ordered some from them & the price was $126.40 which i think is pretty good. Just have to wait a day or so now as they had to get them from a Brissy store.

Cheers

Pics will have to wait until Friday.

Similar to Brains except top bolt holes unused.

Not bad, I paid $135 posted from RoadRunner Offroad's website.

That's fine, a pic is worth a 1000 words as they say. So yours don't use the top holes, funny how there seems to be a few different ways of mounting them.

I shot off another email to Roadsafe this morning, still waiting to hear the result of any discussions they had with TJM.

Pics are not the best but both sides the same...



Looks as though the recovery points are bolted over the top of the existing bullbar mounting frame.



The other side is more hidden as the inner guard and a plastic guard that covers the washer bottle (?) obscures the recovery points even more.

Looks as though the outside hole would also line up with the bullbar support bracket but I am guessing that on the T3 at least the loops would then interfere with the under bar plates.

If any other shots from different angles will be of assistance let me know.

Your bullbar bracket certainly looks the same as mine although I have the T13 (at least I think it's the T13, was on the Prado when I bought it). If you could get one of the other side that would be great as I'm interested to know what if anything they did to get the point in behind the washer bottle guard. I don't have my Prado here right now to try another trial fit, she's at Toyota getting a service.

Mjrandom,
Would appear that they have used a 12.9 grade bolt on the bottom and 8.8 grade on the top two bolts.
Is the bolt head size different? The bolts that come with the recovery point are all 12.9 (at least they were with mine).
Your photos have been helpful, ill give it a go to fit mine this weekend.

I wounder if the rating is changed if all three holes haven't been used to mount the recovery point and not all bolts used are 12.9 grade - this is my only concern, it may pay to get clarification from the manufacturer to be sure.

According to Roadsafe's installation instructions (which I have only just found, must be new) the 2 bolt method is correct for a TJM bar :-

If I'm not mistaken the photo in the installation guide is of an FJ cruiser. Interesting how in Brains case they used all 3 bolt holes.

I just read through those instructions from roadsafe and it says to "torque to reccomended settings", does anyone know what the torque settings are?

Hi RWO,
I usually just get torque settings off the net. Something like http://www.cncexpo.com/MetricBoltTorque.aspx should give you what your after. It varies on size and grade of bolt.

This is the off side recovery hook, hard to see since there is a plastic cover over the washer bottle, is that a 2012 thing? Anyway much the same as the other side. I will ask the question about the bolts as the bottom bolt is definately grade 12.9 while the upper bolt is 8.8...

I have the same plastic cover on my 09 Kakadu so it's not just a 2012 thing. I'm not sure if it's a GXL thing though as I have seen some bull bar installs where there is no cover over the bottle.

I saved a copy of your pic and enlarged it to see any part of the cover has been cut away but it appears not. Can you confirm?

The bolts supplied with mine are all 12.9 and 57mm long.

Sorry, I didn't get a chance today to test fit.
