ALWAYS DEMAND GENUINE ROADSAFE RATED RECOVERY TOW POINTS!
This kit fits:
Nissan Navara NP300/D23 (2015 – on)
Also fits ARB & Ironman BullbarsRoadsafe Rated Recovery Tow Points undergo FEA Testing during design and Destruction Testing during development to establish Working Load Limits (WLL). These points are designed as matched pairs and are supplied in LH/RH for vehicle-specific fitment.
What’s Included:
- High tensile bolts
- Vehicle-specific mounting hardware for secure installation
- Detailed fitment instructions for correct installation
Important Safety Information:
- Always use Rated Recovery Points as a matched pair with an equalising bridle.
- Never use a single point with a side load/pull, as this can cause fatigue and bending, voiding your warranty.
- Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic with specialist 4WD knowledge to ensure proper fitment.
Compatibility with Bull Bars:
Rated Recovery Points are designed for vehicles without Bull Bars. If a Bull Bar is installed, its mounting bolts/brackets may interfere with fitment. In many cases, a workaround exists, but some modifications might be necessary.
- Additional hardware (longer bolts, brackets, etc.) may be required for installation.
- If your specific combination isn’t covered, you may need to source additional bolts (grade 8.8 or higher) from a local supplier.
Key Considerations:
- Owner’s discretion is required to ensure the vehicle chassis is adequately designed and rated for use with these points.
- These Rated Recovery Points are designed for straight-line pulls and, in some cases, a 30-degree off-centreline pull.
- Not suitable for lifting purposes. Lifting and recovery forces are significantly different.

Installation Instructions
For optimal performance, follow the vehicle-specific instructions provided with your purchase. Correct fitment ensures the recovery points operate at their maximum working load limit (WLL).
Important: Always use the recovery points as a matched pair with an equalising bridle. Using a single recovery point with a side load or pull can damage the points and void your warranty.
Installation Tips
-
Professional Fitting Recommended: To ensure proper installation, we recommend fitting the recovery points with the help of a qualified mechanic who has expertise in 4WD vehicles. This ensures the points are installed based on your vehicle’s specific setup, including weight distribution, Bull Bar style, and intended usage.
-
Chassis Compatibility: These recovery points are designed for vehicles without bull bars. If your vehicle is fitted with a bull bar, modifications may be required. This might include adjustments to the bull bar bracket or adding longer bolts.
Bull Bar Compatibility
If your vehicle has a bull bar, the mounting bolts may conflict with the chassis holes needed for the recovery points. In most cases, a solution is available, but in some situations, major modifications may be necessary.
We maintain a list of compatible bull bars, available [here]. If additional hardware, such as longer bolts, is needed, they can be purchased locally. Due to the variety of bull bar combinations, we cannot include every possible bolt in the kit.
Make sure to use grade 8.8 or higher bolts and tighten them to the correct torque specifications.
Performance and Use
-
Straight-Line Pulls: These recovery points are designed for straight-line recoveries and are tested to handle the forces involved.
-
Not for Lifting: These recovery points are not intended for lifting purposes. Lifting requires different forces, which could compromise the recovery points.
Important Notes
-
Warranty: The warranty covers defects in the recovery points. However, incorrect installation, misuse, or improper selection may void the warranty.
-
Chassis Suitability: The chassis must be capable of handling recovery forces. The recovery points are tested for strength, but it is your responsibility to ensure the chassis can accommodate them safely.
