    Old I know but metric 8.8 is weak compared to SAE Grade 8. You need at least metric 10.9 to equate to grade 8. Just FYI.

    Does anyone have a picture of the BPF front recovery hook with a d-ring mounted with a 3rd gen Pro skid plate. Trying to get a visual of what I need to cut to clear the d-ring.
    UPDATE: I mounted the front recovery but haven't had time to trim the skid plate to clear a 3/4" shackle. Installed a 5/8" (6000 lb rated) with some anti-rattle washers as a temporary fix. The washers are cheap zinc so they will do until I can do the right thing. My 3/4" blue d-rings are out for delivery so probably fix it this weekend. Also received my rear recovery.

    Installed rear recovery and ground front skid to clear the 3/4" shackle in the BPF recovery

    I have an SR5, do I need any extra bolts to mount one of these up? Sorry for the dumb question, just want to get everything I need before I get wrenching
