So here is my fact and data for my bar.

Brilliant!

Dammit! I spat my coffee over the keyboard, that was very funny!

I can't spot reference to it but can anyone answer if the ARB bar is compatible with the factory recovery point?

No the ARB bar and the Uneek bar both remove the factory tow point to fit the bar

This is correct, however, we have replaced the OE tow hook with a new one that has the same rating .

Cheers, Sam.

Hey Sam, can we snatch off of your hook?

No, we wouldn't recommend it. Whilst the new point on the ARB bar exceeds the strength of the factory tow point, it too is only designed as a tow point.

In theory, in a snatch recovery, the strap should be the fuse in the process, breaking before anything else.

The minimum snatch strap rating is 8,000kg. So, in reality, the minimum rating of a recovery point, its attachment method and the material it's attached to, should all be rated in excess of this, as is the case with our rated recovery points.

Cheers, Sam.
