Nissan Patrol GU Y61 - Recovery Points Installation

A short video showing you how to install a set of rated recovery (tow) points to a Y61 GU Nissan Patrol. In the market for some aftermarket recovery points for your 4x4 off-road vehicle? Does your vehicle come equipped with factory 'recovery', 'tow' or 'tie-down' points? Are they suitable for recovery situations? There are two very important considerations when it comes to purchasing and installing off-road (4x4) vehicle recovery points. Not all 'recovery' points are the same, not all are equal... 1. The recovery point itself and 2. The vehicle's chassis Some recovery situations can generate forces up to 2 to 3 times the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM). These forces are transmitted through the recovery gear (eg. bow shackles, snatch straps etc.) to the vehicle's recovery point(s) and then through to the vehicle's chassis. Whilst rated recovery gear is essential, what is the vehicle's chassis rated to? A properly engineered, tested and approved recovery point will allow the safe transmission of forces generated from the recovery through to the recovery point and ultimately the chassis. Therefore, a properly engineered recovery point considers not only the recovery point but also how it attaches to the chassis and ensures it won't damage the chassis at the full load rating of the recovery point. Remember, a strong recovery point is only as weak as the chassis it is attached to...
