The Roadsafe Recovery Tow Points for Nissan Patrol GU Y61 (1997-2016) bolt directly to the factory chassis rails, giving you two ADR-compliant, high-tensile steel recovery points rated for snatch strap and winch-based recovery. Reinforced mounting plates spread load across the chassis rather than a single stress point, unlike bumper-mounted hooks. Manufactured to Australian engineering standards and dispatched from local stock, they're backed by manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team — check all suspension parts for the Nissan Patrol Y61 to confirm compatibility with your build.

Match your recovery gear to the rated capacity of these chassis-mount tow points — check your snatch strap and bow shackle breaking strain against your Patrol's laden weight before a recovery, especially if you're carrying touring accessories. Vehicles fitted with a steel bull bar, winch, long-range fuel tank or dual battery setup carry more mass at the front, which increases the load transferred through the front tow point during a snatch recovery. If you're running a heavier GVM build, tell our team your accessory list so we can confirm the tow points suit your setup.
These tow points bolt directly to the factory chassis mounting holes on the GU Y61, so an experienced DIY installer with a torque wrench can fit them, though workshop installation is recommended if you're unfamiliar with chassis-rated hardware. No wheel alignment is required after fitting since the tow points don't alter ride height or suspension geometry. Re-check bolt torque after your first 500km of towing or off-road use, the same way you'd check any chassis-mounted hardware. If you're also upgrading suspension travel or geometry, pair the fitment with upgraded control arms for correct alignment at the same service.
Roadsafe designs recovery and suspension hardware specifically for Australian 4WD chassis, with tow points engineered to meet ADR compliance for on-road registered vehicles. Every set is backed by a manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock, so touring and trade fleets aren't left waiting on parts. Our team can walk you through fitment questions before you buy, and we stock the broader suspension range including our 4WD lift kit range if you're planning a bigger GU Y61 upgrade.
These tow points suit Patrol GU Y61 owners heading remote — outback tourers, grey nomads towing a camper, and station or mining fleet vehicles that need certified recovery points rather than a tow ball. Tradespeople running a loaded ute-style setup with airbag suspension for constant load also benefit from a chassis-rated recovery point that matches their GVM. If your Patrol only ever sees suburban roads, factory tie-down points may be sufficient — these are built for genuine recovery use.

Yes, these Roadsafe tow points are designed as a direct bolt-on fitment for the Nissan Patrol GU Y61, covering Series 1 through Series 9 built 1997-2016. They use the factory chassis mounting holes, so no drilling is required. If you're unsure which series or engine your Patrol has, our team can confirm compatibility before you order.
No. These are chassis-mounted recovery points, not a suspension component, so they don't change ride height, spring rate or geometry. They mount to the existing chassis rail structure alongside your Patrol's shocks and leaf springs without interference. If you're also fitting a lift kit, the tow points install independently of any suspension changes.
The kit includes two Roadsafe chassis-mount recovery tow points in high-tensile steel, reinforced backing plates, and a grade 8.8 mounting bolt kit with fitting instructions. Bull bars, winches and underbody armour are not included. Everything needed to bolt the tow points to your GU Y61's factory chassis holes is supplied.
Yes, the tow points are built to handle both snatch strap recovery and winch line attachment, provided your rated shackle and strap match the tow point's chassis-mounted capacity. Always check your recovery gear's rated capacity against your Patrol's laden weight before use. Our team can advise on matching shackle and strap ratings if you're unsure.
No, control arm or suspension upgrades aren't required to fit these tow points since they mount independently to the chassis rail. If you're planning a lift kit at the same time, pairing it with upgraded control arms is worth considering for corrected geometry, but it's a separate job to the tow point install.
No. Because these tow points don't alter suspension geometry or ride height, wheel alignment is not required after installation. Alignment is only needed if you separately fit a lift kit, new coil springs or leaf springs at the same time.
These are chassis-rated tow points that mount through the factory chassis holes independently of a bull bar, so in most cases they work alongside a bull bar without clashing. Some bull bar brackets can share mounting points, so check your specific bull bar's fitting instructions or contact our team to confirm clearance on your GU Y61.
Yes, these Roadsafe tow points are ADR-compliant, meeting Australian Design Rule requirements for recovery equipment fitted to registered vehicles. This matters for roadworthy inspections and insurance purposes on a registered Patrol. The high-tensile steel construction and reinforced mounting plates are built to support this rating.
These tow points are covered by a manufacturer warranty through Roadsafe against manufacturing defects. If you strike an issue with fit or hardware, our Australian team handles the claim directly rather than sending you back to an overseas supplier. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, these tow points don't affect on-road driving characteristics at all since they're a static chassis-mounted recovery point, not a suspension change. They're just as suitable left fitted for daily suburban driving as they are for remote touring, where you'll actually need a certified recovery point. Many Patrol GU owners fit these once and never need to think about them again until a recovery situation arises.
