As long as they have proper recovery points it should be ok. How many is a couple?

Anyone else? Thought we could get a few more members out for this trip. Made it a C grade location so as to be able to include as many members as possible.

What vehicle do you have mate?

As a minimum we ask you have a front and rear, rated recovery point. Not just the factory tie down spot.

This will be a C grade drive so nothing too extreme but it also won't just be a walk in the park.

kj 3.7

So where and how much to fit the recovery points?

not sure on a KJ that you can just mount some hooks, cause the factory point comes through the front bar..... Give the guys @ Suburban a call and see what options you have. Just pray that it isn't new front and rear bars :lol:

Have you go a removable towbar, if so you can use it as a recovery point.

Have you got a nudge bar if so they come with recovery hooks, if not as standard you have a hook at the bottom which you can unbolt and fit a j style recovery hook which will cost you about $35 from any ARB.

Will meet at Zig Zag Carpark at 9:30.

All day drive...should hopefully leave between 4 and 5.

I will be meeting the xxxpedition guys somewhere in Sydney. Not sure at this stage where they will be staying though. Meeting time further down the mountains is not determined yet.
