Default Fitting recovery points; Update Cherokee with ARB Bar
Has anyone fitted recovery points with the ARB bar? Looking at it u could mount some where the bar uses 2 bolts under the 'chassis' but would it be better to brace then further up aswell? My rugged ridge ones did this and were very solid just they don't fit with my new bar!! I think it's gonna have to be a custom bracket job...

Cheers, Dean

My son in law has an ARB front bar on his GQ Patrol.

He has twin hooks mounted in the direction of pull each side of the uprights.

I mounted them for him on the inside of the uprights low down above the front main bumper channel on the uprights. Easy enough job to do.

They lie horizontal to the main bumper channel.

Get the drill out and go for it.

I'm just concerned about the strength of the whole front end without bracing further back. Having said that though it is secured with 10 big bolts and any cross forces are braced with the Bullbar.. Screw it I'll knock something up haha

ARB have always claimed that the loops on the front of their bullbars are rated recovery points which means you already have two recovery points on the front...

I use these holes all the time.
However I use an equalizing strap & 2 shackles to spread the load, also allows to be recovered from any direction as well.

Mate,

ARB products are superbly engineered. Trust me.

You will not pull you front end off.

Go Knock something and see which comes off second best it wont be your bar.
