Will new Trail Tailor recovery points solve my problem?
I have 06 LX470 and recently installed an ARB Deluxe Bull Bar.
Before I had the bumper, I was using recovery points purchased from Duiser that are 1/2 inch (?) bent steel.
I purchased the steel shim set from Trail Tailor, one skinny shim and one fat shim, and some longer Class 10.9 bolts from Fastenal. Those fit just fine.
The problem is, I still can't get the recovery points mounted. It looks like the Duiser recovery points are slightly wider by 5 mm or so than what will clear the ARB mounting plates. Pictures of Driver Side condition below.
Before I spend more cash for more recovery points, does anyone know the dimension of the Trail Tailor recovery points from Centerline of Bolt hole to edge of bent plate? Looks like the Duiser ones are about 41-42mm. Are the Trail Tailor ones narrower?
Or did I somehow install my ARB bumper slightly mis-aligned? Everything looks good around the bumper compared to the body panels.
Thanks in advance.
