Got back from a trip a few weeks back where I snatched a friend's rear recovery hook right off the frame using a static recovery rope. We were a bit stupid but he was very stuck and it was getting cold and dark. His car was a 30 yo land cruiser, but no rust. Just bolts that weren't maintained for 30 years and used one time too many with a static rope that had way too much energy.
These recovery points have just two bolts and it's a very small piece compared to the energy you can put into it with a static rope. Make sure to torque them every once in a while and ideally use them with a winch rope, not a static rope.

Those are the same ones I'm looking at - and they do appear very beefy. There is a local vendor offering recovery points that I was debating about upgrading to. But I'm also in the market for an after market front bumper with a winch option that would defeat replacing the existing with an aftermarket to then replace the bumper. But then I'm a guy and our tiny brains say the only thing better than upgrading once is twice.

These are from nytop.com using the existing bolt locations

we replaced the front with the land cruiser ones. cheaper than nytop.

Hello, my name is Mark and I'm a non-recovering gear whore. Since my original start of this thread, here is what's in my kit now - much of this purchased during a very long flight and airplane wine. I did add the TRD front tow/recovery points on the car - so a good anchor to start with. It's mostly all ARB gear - leather gloves and safety glasses are an absolute must have. Will need to add a tow line damper next

Will I use all of it - probably not. But figure If I need a rescue in the Mojave outback from someone driving by - I'd have the gear.
