Recovery Hooks - Sorry guys !

The only ones I have seen are the ones the 4by shops sell.

I have a petrol 100 series, so don't know if this will help. I went to Russel Guest 4wd. He sell (I thin) piranha hooks. To the best of my knowledge, they just bolted straight into the tie down holes. He did have to put a sapcer in to allow access to the hook as the bull bar was slightly in the way. As I said, I am almost positive that no drilling or expensive brackets were used. The reasoe I say this is that I drove in there and 30 minutes later and 60-70 bucks lighter I was done. Same thing was done for my mate who as a 80 series TD.

As an aside. Overlander ran an article a couple of months ago, in which they (more or less) stated that those "tie downs" on 100 series cruisers were in fact recovery points. Naturally this sparked a discussion on their web site forum, and if you look under the current issue folder, you will see they have not answered the questions rasied.

Also, one of those travel shows (Getaway or the like) recently had an article on a 4wd course in teh NT. There they aslo showed recovering a 100 sereis using the "tie downs" as a recovery point.

For my own piece of mind I was happy to pay the dollar sto have the job done right.

I have been using the standard rams head recovery points on my 80 for years and continue to do so on the 100 no problems after 100s of demo snatches from sand.Cheers Rob

Willie,

Go visit the guys at ARB. I saw some beautifully engineered mounts for the Nissan GU Patrol at the last show I visited; much better than the home-made ones that I am using. I couldn't find them on their website but I'm certain that there was one that allowed you to mount the Bushranger hooks to the chassis.
