New recovery shackles
Bought some new recovery shackles today but I didn't like the colour. So I quickly knocked up a paint stand and painted them. I will add another photo when they dry!Attached FilesComment

Don't know if I'm telling you something you already know but you will want to spin them around when you use them so the pin is resting on your recovery loops and the snatch or equaliser strap can choose its own angle on the bow side of shackle. I would also recommend only wearing them when needed for recovery. I put mine on to try and save time if I needed them running the gauntlet to the barge at Fraser and did them up finger tight. I forgot to take them off till about 5 km down the corrugated inland road and only had 1 left. I should have done them tighter . However when using for recovery do them up finger tight then back them off 1/2 a turn to mark sure they don't bind up or you might not get them undone. But hey you have a prado , you may only need them to recover Nissans.

Mate they are identical to the ARB Intensity lights and ARB sting you $1800 - $2000 fitted.Originally posted by ben29150 View PostComment

Yeah Matt I only put them on for the photo. But your right, they will probably only be used to recover Nissans...
Nanbar, the ARB intensity ones are ridiculously overpriced. As you can see they are identical minus the ARB logo. They work fantasticly well too!!Comment

Hi,Originally posted by ben29150 View Post
Are they identical as in same manufacturer, materials, mounting brackets, LED's and the "only" difference is the ARB badge or do they just look the same?Comment
