Cheapest solution for front recovery shackles?

Right? Reminds me of the old saying - Good, fast or cheap, pick two.

 

What would be around your LCA “all the time”?

 

mic_sierra's post implied installing a 'tree saver' between the LCA's for the looks. that's where the 'all the time' question comes from

absolutely never?

 

if you dont care about damage...lol

 

the OR comes with a better one

 

its mounted in rubber and not a solid piece

 

That is not what he is implying. Read it again. He pulls cars around in his yard using that method. Not just for looks.

If you think LCA are a good recovery point then go for it. If you off-road at all in these trucks you know how easy the alignment can get messed up. If you think trying to tug a stuck truck out by the lca is a good idea then good for you. It’s your truck. Do as you wish.

you guys convinced me not to do this as I assumed it was a "cheap" upgrade for front recovery points, i was wrong

 

Ya, recovery isn't something you want to cheap out on. Nothing worse than breaking down somewhere and not having the right gear or having your gear fail. Do plenty of research, ask lots of questions, and then buy once, cry once, ha.

 

Or, get another front tow hook, paint em both red and put them on. I think that accent would look good. Personal opinions in here of course.

Not sure if you can put another tow hook on yhe other location though.

 

If its all about looks, buy this.

Yo OP, I think you asked about the hitch mounted shackle in the back? You are talking about a square chunk of steel that goes into your receiver and had a dring off the back? If so, I think you're good there. Most of the cheap ones on Amazon are 40k+ rated. I use one to tug and be tugged. Be aware, unless you lock them or keep them inside the truck tweakers will steal them.

 

yessir got the badlands one from harbor freight that goes into my hitch receiver, got it locked too, im shocked nobody stole my tacoma bed mat on my 2022.

 

If they shear off or break, you'll have a nice piece of shrapnel flying directly back at you or the recovery vehicle at about 100 mph.

 

Don't go cheap with recovery points for you truck, do it right or stay on the roads. Here is the cheapest solution that I went with. Good luck with your truck.

 

Get what is paid for with everything, not localized to China.

 

Good ... cause functional or not... they look like cr@p...


And there are soft shackles these modern days... why carry that ballast...

 

Matt's Off Road recovery pulled out a 2WD Taco with one of these recover points. Literally one.
