My truck didnt come with factory tow hooks, and a bumper is a long ways away right now, so I've been shopping around for recovery points and stumbled across these https://p-p-engineering.myshopify.com/collections/frontier-gen-ii/products/2nd-gen-2005-nissan-xterra-frontier-front-bolt-on-recovery-points
They look solid, use the same mount points as factory, and look like they would work with a Hefty rad skid. Has anyone even heard of these guys, and if so any feedback on quality? If they're decent I might end up buying a skid from them as well so i don't get doubled dinged on shipping.
If they're not I can have spacers made easy enough. I just don't have access to real shop equipment to make something beefy like that. And if it really comes down to it, the plastic on my bumper cover is already mangled. I wouldn't be opposed to making it worse if it's the difference between staying in the woods overnight and getting out.
I've heard of these guys they look like they make some pretty nice stuff although I tend to skip over the companies that don't have Canada in the drop down list for online ordering. Dezert Runner offroad makes them and you can get these off ebay to if you search for D40 Navara's.
I've seen the Navara ones but they're almost double the price. I'm also close enough to the border that I can have them drop shipped to a depot and bring em across myself.

Fair enough. My biggest hang up is having them drop shipped. I'm close to the border, but still far enough away I'd have to make a day of it. If their communication isn't great theres a chance I'll miss the shipment due to work or something.
I've got the P&P recovery points, took a little massaging with an angle grinder to get them to fit with their rad skid (which took a lot of grinder massaging) and an my ARB bumper. Such is the way of mods.

I had the same problem trying to ship to a depot in WA. When I emailed them I was told that it was set up and should be working. No work arounds were mentioned, and they seemed unwilling to do the leg work and get me a manual quote. I couldn't get a straight answer on which courier they use either.
That's not bad at all. I think your faith has restored mine. I'll probably fire off an order on payday. Hopefully having a skid built too won't completely tank their build times. I'm missing out on some quality mud right now.
FYI small update, the goods arrived last Wednesday (about a week total) but I was busy working on my shock brackets so i haven't installed the P&P parts yet.
I did hold them up in position to see what's going on, they look like they'll bolt on no problem with the factory bumper but the center of the recovery points are offset towards the outside of the truck. In other words, they aren't centered with the opening for the factory tow hook. Since I want to keep my lower valance, I'm going to have to do some trimming when it's actually time to install.
