I have a 2003 120 series Prado.
At the front It has standard, 14mm diameter, very thick steel loops welded in 4 places each one, the welds are 40mm long x4 on each point x 2 points if needed. So 320 mm + worth of welding. The welds are high quality same as the vehicles chassis when it was made in Japan. I have been recovered by them, using one side only numerous times.
IMO the are much stronger than 10-12mm ( less thread depth) 8.8 h.t bolts that would hold an aftermarket recovery point.
It was pointed out at the 2014 gtg committee meeting today that 10mm of weld = 1+ tonne.
32 tonnes of strength in the welds.
This is massively stronger than a 8- 10 tonne snatch strap.
I believe I Have he best recovery/tow points available
Would you or would you not pull me out?
