    I can only imagine the shit storm that would come if this was posted by a guy and he called those recovery hooks lol.


    Mine came red from ARB.
    I wanted something that was actually safe to recover from and that's tested for it.
    Not the 'it should be strong enough' that others love to post about recovery points

    Well, she did say her husband called them recovery hooks, can we make fun of him?

    I wonder how many more people will tell the OP she didn't paint recovery hooks? Ten more? Twenty more? Anyone want to place some bets?

    I love the red contrast.. I have a 2018 TRD OR cement and that's a pretty badass idea.. as we speak I'm having my TRD exhaust tip powder coated red.. I think it will make pop.. I have a a lot of red contrast throughout my truck.. I will post pics soon

    Did you paint the shackle or purchase it that way? Thinking about doing the same thing to mine. Also, any fitment issues having the TRD Pro skid right there?
