I have searched the web and looked at large number of postings, including some on this forum. I have also looked at the video on the testing Mitsubishi has done. The question is, has anyone done any serious recovery, ie: deep sand, mud or any other difficult recovery situations, using the front recovery points on the Pajero. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I own a 2004 NP Pajero.

I got stuck in some soft sand on an incline and had to be pulled up by a mid sized Suzuki. With the snatch strap it was easy and I was out in no time.

Ive used the standard front points on my NM plently of times without a worry. Even once I was too bogged and couldnt get pulled out forwards after a few attempts, and putting a fair bit of pull on the front point. Ended up getting pulled out backwards that time.
But I wouldnt be worried at all using either front point on my Paj.Silver NM Pajero 3.5L Auto.

I had a read through my manual after I made my post yesterday. Mine doesn't say what its rated to, it only says that its a rated recovery point.

I will echo what everyone else has said pretty much. I have recovered rigs that were fullsize and a lot heavier than I am and not had any problems, nor have i noticed any deflection or fatigueing to the two front points. The consensus that has been reached on this board I have seen over the years is that you WILL NOT damage them or have ANY problems using them for recovery.03 NP, 34" tires, Fully skiplated, Custom rocksliders, custom winch mount, OME HD springs/shocks, and Aeroflow exhaust, Locked Front and Rear.

If you are really concerned about the forces in a recovery, use an equaliser strap between both front recovery points therefore sharing the load across the vehicleNS Tall and Short (Trakryder/Bilstein 2" lift with Polyairs) DiD "R", Gunmetal on BFG 270/60/17 AT's, TJM Bullbar, 9500lb Ox Winch, Icom 450, AirTech Snorkel, Cargo Barrier, Dual Battery System to power a CF 40, ScanguageII, LRA Auxillary Tank

I have used the front points, to recover someone up hill when I was above them facing downhill, in reverse when my winch was being repaired.

Only just saw this thread - Suzi was having a bit of an off day with the near drowning and all, she was just in a bit of shock and didn't feel like driving all the way up the hill but instead resting procariously balanced half way up.MN GL-R, ARB Front and Rear Bars, Rocksliders, Canopy, uniden uhf, Kumho KL71s, Rear Locker, tigerz11 winch, dual batts.
