Avid bumper guard as a recovery point?

Hey guys so Im having issues finding actual solutions for front recovery points. Looks like ill just buy a adapter to place a d-ring on the passenger side. I have a Avid Offroad bumper guard and wondering what you guys think as using it as a recovery point. Its bolted with threadlocker to the crash bar. Thanks

 

No

I had one. It is not a recovery point. You will bend the mount or crack the weld between the tube and mount.

Buy the OEM Off Road tow hook if you want an inexpensive front recovery point.

Alternatively, a member here makes a part that bolts to the same location and allows you to install a shackle.

Do you have this members name? I'd like to order one.

 

This is the one I was referencing, but there are several others now available.

not a fan of the 2'' receiver on the mobtown one myself, but I'm sure they could make one with out it if you prefer
