Recovery points?

Are these legit? Sounds like the Mobtown hidden winch system is better, but its three times the price.

People have them, I’m sure some have even used them. I wouldn’t use them for recovery, the company doesn’t rate them for recovery.

 

I have no idea as to the quality for your intended application.

I will say this; if that were my site, I'd sure post a photograph of the product with better looking welds.

Safest bet is the oem recovery points

 

You get what you pay for.
I'd consider carefully what they attach TO before I thought about relying on them for recovery.

 

This^

These attach to the front cross member, and it's not as substantial as it sounds..
Anyone considering yanking on it, should slide under there and take a good look at it before doing so.

 

I wouldn't trust them. Even the Amazon reviews tell a story. One person used them to pull a corolla out of the snow. It's not for snatching.

Most people buy them to display their decorative nipple rings.

 

One of the advertised features: "Ideal for adding stylish aftermarket hooks/shackles to your truck"

Functionality - questionable.

 

Why pay $105 for Demon brackets to Extreme Terrain when Amazon has them for $63?

I have them on mine. They're for towing, not recovery.

 

Check out the ARB recovery point https://arbusa.com/toyota-tacoma-2016-on/bumpers-protection-equipment/recovery-points/

 

Nope.

 

That’s a serious hung of steel, but not for people wanting dual matching shackles

 

Need to get an ARB recovery point group buy going. I’ve been eyeballing it for awhile but it’s a steep price and I keep hoping the price will magically drop so I can buy one.

 

You really don't need it if you have an OR. The passenger side hook is totally sufficient for recovering off of.

 

There are a few of the OR hooks that have failed under recovery, documented here on TW. I wouldn’t trust it.

 

Thankfully I've seen more bend than come flying off.

 

The flying one are the trailer hitch balls.

 

Can you link to an example? I can't find anything with search and haven't seen this. I have an aftermarket bumper now but I used my front hook plenty of times before I did.

 

Same here... I've been eying it for a while...
Are there any other good alternatives?
