I am trying to source recovery points for a Landcruiser 100 Series TD. It is fitted with the Toyota alloy 'Cruiser' bar (winch capable).

In an earlier post ( 29704 ) relating to recovery points it was suggested that recovery eyes from Outback Ideas could easily.be fitted to a Landcruiser 100 Series.

I found out from the maker of the item that the mounting holes odf the part would have to be side drilled but that would be a minor change. Not worried about that.

What was a bigger problem though is that the Brisbane stockist ARB advised me that it could not fit them because: modification of the bullbar was required and that would affect warranty of the bar; and if the bullbar was not taken off and modified the recovery eyes could not be fitted because only one bolt hole would be available and a spacer would have to be used which is not recommended (bar covers the other hole but does not utilise it). I did not get a quote, it all had to be looked into and so on.

There are hundreds of Toyotas running around with alloy Cruiser bars fitted to them and doubtless many have recovery points. What is the practical solution?
