In Aus, it's a 2011 model towing out a 2012 model......lol

I have noticed the American's don't use the term "recovery point" only "tow point", could they be one in the same

We hear in Oz call it a "recovery point" when it has been rated to handle a defined load like 1.5 times the GVM.

The French have a dish they call Steak tartare, I call it raw mince!

I stole this quote from another thread

Nothing really new but for what it's worth - I wandered into the ARB Osborne Park (WA) store this morning and asked about the bar. Girl at a desk behind the counter said she rang Melbourne a couple of days ago and they said June earliest.

Sigh....

Went for ECB as it was the only option. I really did want one with a winch, but alas not an option. I must say I was totally unimpressed with the quality of the ECB bar. It came with a plastic vent which had been broken and glued back together (ok yes replaced now, but crap to send it out like that). Also the welds and polishing work was pretty poor. They agreed to repair the welds and remove the welding splatter, but not impressed. Ok the overall look now I'm happy, but it took a bit to get it right. I don't like to send my brand new car back for repairs right after I take delivery. ECB needs to pay more attention in inspecting their product prior to sending it out of the factory. Perhaps employ better welders too.

Had my WK2 front end scanned this week by Yankee Dave. Great guy, drives a great Jeep which gave me confidence that they know and use their product.
Think their alliance with Murchison products in Bris is also a great idea.
Dave stepped me through the scan process, the future bar options and most importantly, how He sees it being incorporated into the front of my 4WD.
Looking forward to being part of the next stages.
