Where can you mount recovery hooks on a GQ Patrol?

This has an aluminium cow-catcher type made by East Coast Bullbars. We've done some pretty heavy-duty stuff over the past 3 years with the 60 series and that's not likely to change now with the GQ so yes, I need two hooks in the front to avoid twisting the chassis. I have a standard HR towbar and of course there's always the pintle hook in the rear so I think the back end is covered but I'll probably fit two hooks at the rear anyway.

If it was me, I'd be lookin for an ARB winch bar and a winch. But snatching is faster sometimes. Also gives more clearance over the cow's.

Ive done plenty of wheelin too, some more fun than others over the years, and never needed more than the 1 mounted under front right side.

I would be amazed that the chassis would twist on a GQ. I think thats a lot less likely than one of the ARB eyes pulling thru, like I saw on a Disco out near Woods Point.

Yeah I had the feeling that the original didn't exactly look crash hot.

Ive used mine many dozens of times over the last 5 yrs... Its still going strong. never been a problem

I always snatch using 2 hooks on the front with a bridle (you can use a tree-trunk protector) between them. The hook on the drivers side has never let me down and no sign of any cracks anywhere either....but I'm not disputing this could/does happen. The hook I've mounted on the passenger's side is one of those typical black ones with the sprung retainer and it uses high tensile bolts (this is essential). I drilled an extra hole through the lower section of the bracket that holds the bullbar onto the chassis as well as the oval shaped hole in the lug that hangs down off the chassis which is also used to bolt the bullbar to the chassis.

The idea of using the 2 hooks all the time, not only negates any possibility of twisting the chassis, but also halves the load on the hook/s.

4wd Victoria Via the Nissan club and others teach people to use that Nissan hook on the front for recoveries.

YMMV
