1st Gen. XL-7 Front Recovery Points
Posted: Mon 05 Jul, 2021 11:51 am
Hey team,
Got a 2001 XL-7 which I use as a daily, while also setting up for more camping and 4wding trips.
Have got oversized AT tires (235, 70 R16) that give me 22cm ground clearance from the chassis' lowest point, on stock suspension, which I will perhaps replace with a lift in the future.
Car also has a rear rated hitch recovery point on the stock towbar, along with a pair of Maxxtraxx, a proper 12v air compressor, a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher.
I would really like to join the club and join you guys on a fee trips, but I struggle with installing two front recovery points, which I understand are one of the requirements for joining the club.
I bought two front recovery hooks and asked my mechanic to try installing them, but he couldnt find a suitable spot for them.
What's your guys opinions and thoughts on this?
The only reason I was going to install them is to be able to join the club and do a few trips for starters, not looking for doing any extreme tracks with the XL7, just a bit of fun and renote camp spots.
Cheers everyone.
