    No there was a wreck that had just happened it was very annoying

    Put me down as a maybe for right now. Two questions since i have never been to the beach in my Prerunner:

    1. What is a nice and simple way to add a recovery/tow point to the front of my truck?

    2. What are some good recovery straps since i will need to buy one anyways?

    Your truck should already have a recovery point in the front.

    Not a tow strap. Lola6uhe7ym_6020d41ea7032225475de90cc4b19e071c864298.jpg

    That tie down point on your driver's side isn't much for recovery. I imagine it'll work in a pinch for easy pulling, but if your're STUCK I wouldn't pull on it much.

    A better (not best) option is to get a tow hook and grade 8 bolts and bolt it to the passenger side where the Offroad Package tow hook would fit. Tow hook like this:

    Disregard front recovery points, acquire new axle.
