Frequently Asked Questions
Why are 'rated' recovery points essential for my Prado 120?
Factory tie-down points are intended only for securing a vehicle during transport, not for the high-impact forces of an off-road recovery. Our rated recovery points are engineered to safely handle these dynamic loads, preventing chassis damage and protecting you and your vehicle during a recovery.
Are these points specifically designed for the Prado 120 Series?
Yes. These recovery points are precision-engineered to bolt directly onto the Prado 120 chassis. We have mapped the chassis mounting points to ensure a perfect fit using existing holes, ensuring that the pulling force is distributed correctly across the frame.
Can I use these with kinetic ropes or snatch straps?
Absolutely. These rated points are designed to withstand the stress of dynamic recoveries, such as using kinetic energy ropes or snatch straps. They feature smooth edges to prevent unnecessary wear on your straps, ensuring they remain in peak condition.
Is the installation process difficult for a DIYer?
The installation is designed to be straightforward. We include all the necessary high-tensile bolts and mounting hardware. As long as you have basic hand tools and are comfortable torquing bolts, you can safely install these on your Prado at home.
Do these recovery points interfere with aftermarket bull bars?
Our recovery points are engineered with a low-profile design to maximize compatibility with the most popular aftermarket bull bars. While fitment is generally excellent, we always recommend checking that your bull bar mounting brackets do not obstruct the primary chassis recovery point area.
