Where possible Roadsafe maintains a list of bull bar fitments – helping you with general fitting instructions & safety guidelines for the use of Roadsafe Recovery Points to a variety of Bull Bars. Recovery Points have been designed as matched pairs, supplied in LH/RH for vehicle specific fitment. Your purchase will include high tensile bolts, and any additional, vehicle specific mounting hardware required to ensure secure fitment to vehicles. Correct fitment of these components is critical for yours & others personal safety.
Each pair of Recovery Points is supplied with vehicle specific fitment instructions - find our Recovery Points fitting instructions here. These instructions should be followed during fitment to ensure all steps are taken for correct installation, so when required, the points will be at their optimum Working Load Limit (WLL) as stamped.
ALWAYS USE RECOVERY POINTS AS A MATCHED PAIR WITH AN EQUALISING BRIDLE. Failure to use Recovery Points correctly can result in Recovery Points fatigue and/or bending, and will void your warranty. Never use a single point combined with a side load/pull.
Recovery Points are pretty easy to install. Check out this video of a quick installation of RPCOL02 Recovery Points to an RG Colorado. It is recommended that Recovery Points are fitted by a qualified mechanic with specialist 4WD knowledge, and with an understanding of your vehicle - including weights carried, the style of bull bar, and general usage. In some circumstances these Recovery Points may not be suitable for your vehicle. Incorrect selection or incorrect installation is not covered by warranty.
Recovery Points have been designed on vehicles without bull bars. In some circumstances the bull bar mounting bolts/brackets may utilise the same chassis holes that are utilised for Recovery Point fitment. Most of the time, there is a fix around this – however in some instances where Bull Bars have been fitted, it precludes the opportunity to fit the Recovery Points without major modifications. Additionally, if a bull bar is fitted, modifications might be required to the bar bracket and/or additional hardware might be required (longer bolts etc.) to facilitate fitment. As there are so many combinations and potential bar model combinations, Roadsafe are unable to include every potential bolt required in the kit (this would make the kits very expensive). Roadsafe supply the kits with the bolt options identified to suit the majority of applications – however if your vehicle/bar/Recovery Points combination falls outside of those applications customers will have to purchase additional bolts to suit the required application. Roadsafe recommends grade 8.8 or higher, and tightening to appropriate bolt torque specs.
Recovery Points supplied have been tested to the well advised standards. It is at vehicle owners discretion for fitment, ensuring that the chassis is adequately designed, constructed and/or rated to suit this application. Recovery Points have been designed and tested for straight line pull. Recovery Points have not been tested for lifting purposes & should not be used for lifting, the forces applied differ between lifting and straight line pull type recoveries. Roadsafe Recovery Points are FEA tested during design and during development to establish Working Load Limits.
