MQ Triton - Rated tow points

Postby LOST on Mon Jun 26, 2017 12:19 pm

Hi all,

Troy here from Roadsafe 4WD, We are looking to develop the MQ Triton Rated tow points.

Short notice as a vehicle has fallen through but I'm looking for an MQ Triton with an ARB bar fitted in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne this week!

I'd also be interested in a vehicle with factory nudge bar.

If anyone can help I'm sure we can make it worth your while ;)

Cheers Troy

Hi, you can't use my car as I live in Omeo, but can you post on here when you have them on the market! Good luck with them.

Hi Troy,

I have a factory fitted nudge bar that I'm trying to get rated tow points for.

But sadly I'm up in Sydney. Hopefully you guys get one closer.

G'Day Omeoman,
Would you be bale to send a couple of pics through of the end o the chassis where the bar mounts, around the factory tie down point etc.

Either post them here or email me at troy@roadsafe.com.au

This will help give us an idea.

Cheers

So are these points you are developing only going to be compatible with ARB bars and factory bars?
Thanks :D

Hi Crackles,

No they will work with a range of other bars, Found a Nudge bar, +ARB bars we haven't been bale to have a good look at yet to ensure they will work together.

Hi Troy,

I am also interested in buying recovery points for the Triton MQ. Just wondering how long they will take to be released?

I sent them an email. They told me February/March next year. Not sure if this is set in stone though. Im surprised nothing has come out sooner, I would have thought there would be plenty of demand. Are the factory tow points better than other utes or something? Have people been using them instead?

Yeah, considering how many Tritons I see on the road I am amazed that there don't seem to be any aftermarket points available without forking out for a bullbar.

While the "points" can be rated if you read fine print the attachment is not. Due to the nature of people doing recoveries (poorly) various companies are loath to sell products that might get them sued if they are pulled off and injuries result.

That's exactly what I've always found amusing about the idea of "rated" points - They're nothing but a damned expensive piece of steel with a few holes in it. That piece of steel may be rated, but the "system" (ie point, bolts, what they're connected to, etc) is not..

If I had the gear to make my own I certainly wouldn't be forking out for them, that's for sure.

Hi, new to the forum, ARB have just released rated tow points for the mq but about $700 installed, I've tried a few other 4wd suppliers and none available yet.

$700. !! Are they made from titanium? Do you get a lap dance while waiting? :lol:

Goes to show what a smuck a Toyota owner is with their ARB kit stuck all over the ride - must have second mortgage.
Don't let the b'strds get you down!!

From the November 2017 price list:

ARB RECOVERY POINTS
1,2(2846010) MQ 15 On MY16, LHS Recovery Point, 8000kg Rating, Reco. Shackle Rating 4.75t 277.20 110.00 387.20
1,2(2846020) MQ 15 On MY16, RHS Recovery Point, 8000kg Rating, Reco. Shackle Rating 4.75t 277.20 110.00 387.20
1
(FIT) Additional Fitting Charge On Vehicles With Pre-Existing ARB Bar Fitted 220.00
2Suits fitment to ARB bull bar only.


Sounds like they're only suited to people will the ARB bullbar... so still no good to anyone who doesn't have their bar.. and at $387.20 each fitted after you've already had to fork out the $$ for their bar that is absolutely freaking ridiculous!
