I had a bit much on my plate the last few days, but managed to send Marco a mail an hour ago. Did also include some of the mails that was send to the "not responding" dealerships.
Thanks.

[SJC]

Can anyone tell me if there is suppose to be bolts here?
(Was busy draining the engine oil when I noticed this)...

If there's space put some in ....

It looks from your photos as if Nissan are now using the 4.8 Patrol's chassis as the basis for the pickup chassis.

Therefore, the 4.8's standard recovery points should fit.They use the same bolt holes that hold the plate under the radiator. You can buy them from Nissan for about R550 each, and I promise they are stronger than anything you can buy anywhere else.

You will need to buy longer bolts as well, M14 x 2 (I think but the first fine thread anyway), you will need 35mm long or more.

Which dealerships in Gauteng can you guys reccomend to buy a recovery point/hook from?
I will be coming up next week some time, maybe I can buy one while I'm there..

(P.S. I did not get any responses from Nissan witbank & Lydenburg or Nissan SA regarding a recovery hook..)

Did you make contact with Marco from Nissan SA? They were phoning me every day trying to get into contact with you..... I assumed all was sorted...
