Whether the mounting holes on the recovery hooks line up for your intended purpose I cannot say, but they will be available to use independently.

Cheers!
If you wanted your fabricator to test fit the hook only to the existing Mopar nudge bar brackets just give me a shout. I'd be happy to have them look at mine!

Kev,

I might take you up on that offer. Are you located in Brisbane or Gold Coast? What year is your WK2?

Cheers,
Bill

Things got a bit hectic for end-of-finanical-year for the fabricator, but things are back on schedule. The prototype of the bash plate is done and the recovery hooks should be done tomorrow. I am going to inspect the prototypes and hopefully fit them to the vehicle on the 4th. I should have photos of the recovery hooks and bash plate for everyone on the 4th or 5th.

If all goes well, I will be testing the prototypes this weekend up at LCMP.

Cheers,
Bill

Hi Bill,

2012 Laredo V6 Petrol.

On the Gold Coast (live at Upper Coomera). The wife generally has the car at work in Southport, but I'm off work this week so I have it.

Let me know if you want to test fit the hooks and I'm sure we can arrange something!

Kev.

Any updates on both fabricators? Really interested in the solid version with the hooks bending outwards. See what your mates can price them up for and couriered to WA.

Is it difficult to take off the front bar?

Yes
Looking for a suitable recovery device for MY13
The current option is far too expensive and difficult to use
Can we see a picture yet?

Sorry for the delay, I've been very busy lately. Researching manufacturers and suppliers. Organising the best possible shipping prices. Building our new website. Getting engineering certificates in place. I know everyone is anxious, but bear with me, I want to make sure every aspect of our products is the very best it can be. On the positive side, we have dozens of new products in the pipeline that will be available very soon.

Here's a sneak peek at the prototypes for our WK2 Recovery Hooks. There are still a few alterations to be made before they are ready for sale, but they are close enough that we've sent them to the engineer for weight rating and certification. They are laser cut out of 25mm 350 grade steel, so we expect to hear good things.
