2nd gen ARB Bumper question

Coming from a 1st gen I found it odd that ARB doesn't have d-ring mounts on the front of 2nd gen bumpers. What are you all using as your front recovery point on the ARBs? You could run a tree strap or soft shackle though the hi-lift points on the front, but that's about all I can think to do.

 

Wait, they don't?? That's crazy

Well I'll be damned, I just checked and they don't. That's stupid!! It mentioned on their site that it retains factory recovery points at least.

 

Agreed, seemed odd to me since they have had mounting points in the past. I've had their bumpers on a 1st gen Tacoma and 1990 FJ62 and both had them.

 

I use my OEM recovery point and it works okay. My eventual goal is to purchase a beefy aftermarket recovery point that will accomodate a d-ring shackle. The lack of integrated recovery points is the only real drawback of the second gen ARB front bumper IMO.

 

Anyone else have any tips/ideas?
