ARB Recovery Point on 2023 TRD Off Road

I just took possession of a 2023 TRD Off Road and am stoked.
I've been searching for good recovery gear and picked up a Factor 55 HitchLink Pro 2.0 for the rear. I want to get the ARB recovery point #2823010 for the front, but ARB hasn't confirmed the fit yet. Has anyone installed the ARB recovery point on a 2023 TRD Off Road? If so, any issues?

If not, has anyone noticed any changes in this area of the frame/subframe for year 2023?

Thanks in advance!

 

You're one of the first 23's I've seen on the site. There were no major changes expected, but go take some pictures and post them up.

 

There is a photo of how the ARB mounts from a customer on extremeterrains website. I’m sure it’s a 2022 but you can go compare on your trucks from the photo. I’ll go look at mine and reference photo a little later!

 

This is a photo on a 2020 to compare.

 

Looks like he still needs the main bolts attached!

 

Note that the OR (and Pro I assume) comes with a recovery hook on the passenger side that is beefier than the loop that comes on the other trims. It’s not as beefy as the ARB product, but has worked for my needs.

 

OP you shouldn't have any issue.

It is only bolted to the crash bar, and I wouldn't trust it for anything besides flat towing on road surfaces.
The ARB recovery point is bolted in two locations to the frame, and is the only rated recovery point currently for a Tacoma.

 

I’m not claiming it is as beefy as the arb recovery point, but I can say it did not break or bend during a recovery using a 20,000 lb winch when I had my truck buried to the frame in semi-frozen mud. I am by no means guaranteeing it in any way. YMMV.



I’ve used it in a number of other off-road recoveries as well. No pics though.

 

That is not a recovery hook and is known to bend easily under recovery situations.

 

I’ve not heard of anyone bending it.

Note that I am not talking about the welded hoop on the driver side or the bolted hoop that comes on the non OR/Pro. I’m talking about the recovery hook that comes on the OR/Pro.

Huh,

I have an OR and know about it.

Huh, "
Tow Hook (Front) Part Number: 5196135080 Supersession(s): 51961-35080"

 

I understand is not rated piece of rigging, but there are few options that are. Also, it’s not clear that “recovery point” is a technical term used by engineers or lawyers. I could be wrong.

 

Here are a few different perspectives.

 

Looks the same as my 18

 

Thanks Jeremy and Tyler.

 

Guys this is obvious, the OEM hook is not red so it cannot be used for recovery

 

Will painting the OR/Pro hook red prevent it from killing you want it rockets through your windshield at your face? Asking for a friend.

 

Depends what kind of idiot is pulling you out. Slam the gas with a chain? He's going to eat it. Slow easy pull (or tug) with a proper strap and all's well. A good yank with a snatch strap would be OK too.

 

Same question here, I took possession of my 2023 this week!
