Recovery points

[Cowboy Dave]

Yeah Mitsubishi does a tow hook that bolts onto the rear chassis rail. Bloody solid too.

I would never try and snatch in reverse. Maybe a gentle/slow pull but a snatch? No thanks.

And yes I'm sure that sounds dirty but what can you do?

[4wd26]

The glx came with a factory rear hook, could ask Mitsubishi?
There would have to be some sitting around dealer workshops when they fit factory towbars?

[chrisdoherty87]

Thanks fellas I'll try that and yes CD I almost thought you veered off topic then

Anyone know if this recovery point for a challenger will fit the triton?

Do you mean like on this site?

I found someone who custom builds recovery points for the new model Mitsubishi Triton. Knowing that the PB Challenger is almost exactly the same as the the Triton, I contacted the person who supplies them and asked if he’d be happy to take a look at the Challenger to see if they’d fit.

I am going to give this guy a ring today to see how much they are and if he still does them.

I fitted a set last week to my MN Triton

Pretty easy to do.
Cheers Ian

[Cowboy Dave]

Was there drilling involved?

[2ENIL8]

Was there drilling involved?

CD there is drilling involved, only 1 either side I think he said.

As Ian said he is a nice guy to talk to and very helpful, I ordered a set yesterday from him.

[MN GLXR]

2ENIL8 it would be great if you could post a few pics of the install when you fit them up

[Cowboy Dave]

Sounds like they're identical to the yellow ones earlier in this thread. Pretty sure there was some detail on what that install involved.

[alian]

Yes, the same as the yellow ones, you use 1 existing hole and drill 2 holes per side. but it was easy. Cheers Ian

[Cowboy Dave]

I thought the original poster who put the yellow photos up said the install was a bit fiddly/difficult with regard to the drilling? I can't recall the precise details. Something to do with the length of the drill from memory but that recollection is faint. I'll go back and look later and see if I can find what I am talking about.

That was how I remember reading it too. You also need to weld a nut to a piece of wire to instal it (place inside chassis rail).

[dinos4x4]

G'day I was the one who posted those recover hooks and installed them on my Triton.
As I am a fitter/machinist it was pretty easy, the nuts a welded to flat bar to stop them turning and they also have wire on them so u can poke them down the chassis.
If you have a auto you need a long drill bit to get past their cooler

[2ENIL8]

If you have an auto the transcooler it's in the way, you just have to move it to 1 side.
MNGLXR, I will put some pics up for you.

[alian]

As a few people have said the kit comes with the nuts already welded to a piece of flat bar and a wire. I have a manual so I didn't have the Transcooler to contend with. While I was down there I got to see why most people upgrade there sump guard.

[2ENIL8]

Look what turned up yesterday, the only thing that I am going to do is maybe paint them.

[MN GLXR]

They look tuff!

[mattharding]

How much?

[2ENIL8]

$265 including postage from WA to QLD. Ordered and paid for them on Tuesday and I had them on Friday.

[triton_guru]

Is that a good price? Ive got no idea the pricing on the front ones. IM getting back ones made up as i no longer have a rear bar and think their costing me around the $50 for both but that's custom made from 10mm plate

[2ENIL8]

It's a lot more expensive then say D40 or GU recovery points but there is a heap of people doing these but the options that triton owners have is very limited so you would expect to pay a bit more maybe.

[triton_guru]

Ahk understood hopefully with the tritons popularity growing more options will be available and make for some more competitive prices is this the only place that is making recovery points for the triton?

[Rumchaser]

Hi where did you order those recovery points from ? They look good .
