Snatch Points

Maybe stupid question but are those two tow points under the front actual snatch points or merely tie downs?
Thanks

Do a search and you will find a thread on recovery points.

I believe they are just tow points suitable for say a flat tray, not suitable for snatching etc

Hi Brian

No such thing as a stupid question - but the search feature is our friend. :lol:

Check the link to this post HERE for a good discussion.

The older Prados only had tie down points but the newer units have much stronger points that look strong enough. Outback ideas also make some great recovery points that are easy to fit.

Check out Team Piggy's pics, towards the bottom of page 3 for a comparison of the 2 types of recovery points.

Cheers

The models after about Jan 2006 had a beefier "possibly rated" tie down which appars to be suitable for snatching.

There is much chest whacking etc that goes on about the actual rating of these points on this forum though, up to you to make your decision.

I have had 5 engineers all look over them and take some measurements etc, and all came to the ame conclusion that they are certainly designed to take a fairly strong load. (eg more than tie downs).
If using them (as I have personally, use an equaliser strap to spread the load between the two of them).

The search button will bring up lots of threads in relation to them, some are pointed out above.
