Recovery point options

[shadowgoat]

Recently received my Overtrail a couple of weeks ago and took it out for the first time yesterday to some trails. I was solo and new to this so I didn’t do anything crazy. Worst of it was some pools of water/mud around 12-20” deep. LX rolled through the entire trail without hesitating once.

But as I build my own confidence, I want to push it harder and find the limits without being stranded. Obviously not going solo is a good idea, but how are you all managing recover points. I know I can get a hitch mounted one but not sure what I would do if I need to get pulled out forward? I’m not looking to do any irreversible modifications.

I also have some recover boards arriving I a couple days.

There is a recovery point under the car, both front and back.

Those are not limited to shipping tie down points?

The big "U" is your recovery point up front.

ARB makes some mounts, but they're a little pricey.

These and the ARB available on Slee’s website.

Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for and confirms that the tie down points are not recommended. I knew ARB had them for the LC300, but the fact that Slee marks them for the LX600 is good confirmation. First time I’ve hear about Kaon. Thanks for sharing.

Not really, the lc300 in the video only comes with tie down points. The LX overtrail comes with two tie down points (one in front, one in back) already converted to recovery points. The shop which installed my sliders told me to just buy the same part and install it on the other side if I wanted to use a bridle. See circle in red:

Kaon are great, but it looks like the kaon points mount over the sway bars. Given that we have AHC and the LCs don't I'm not sure if the kaon lc300 parts will work.

I appreciate the picture. It’s clear that there are two separate loops there and I didn’t notice the difference when taking a look myself. Just buying the OEM recover point honestly seems like the best option.
