triton recovery hook

I bought one ages ago and found the same thing. When I asked around, I was told to weld it on. This was for an 80 series Cruiser. It is still in the plastic packing. :)

It doesn't matter as long as the recovery point on the Toyota is secured as it will be hauling the load..!

Oops, sorry couldn't help myself..! LOL

If you're talking about the hook, not the tie down loop, then that's what everyone uses for recovery. It's what it was put there for.
The loops on my Paj aren't "rated" either but even the Mitsubishi engineers in Adelaide couldn't break 'em so that means they're good enough for me ;-)

From what I was advised, a recovery hook must be bolted. If it is welded it still has to have min 2 x M12 high tensile bolts. I have seen the results of using poorly fitted or incorrect recovery points, it isn't pretty, and usually it is the person doing the recovery that comes off second best! I will not recover anyone that does not have bolted recovery points.
