Custom recovery points?

Hey, i’ve got a 2004 extended cab and i’m hoping to fabricate some custom recovery points for my rear. If anybody has done this or has any input on good locations that would be appreciated. Thanks

 

This is a tough one... how bad do you think you will get stuck? The frames on these arent the strongest so any single point pull from a bad place might be a problem. I am thinking a receiver on the back that ties to frame together better than the factory bumper would be a good starting point. I have not had the front bumper off an 04 so I dont know how it all ties together up front. I know there is a huge difference from 96 to 98 but after that I dont know. Crawl under the front and look to see how the factory bumper mounts. Are there crush boxes or hydraulic cylinders or ?

 

My hitch has recovered 4 door jeeps and f250s stuffed in snow banks. Just make it easy and bolt an oem hitch on

 

He’s asking about the rear, in which case I’d just get a hitch receiver shackle block. The strongest points on the frame will be where the hitch mounts anyway

 

I'll second a receiver hitch there is not much else of structure there and if you do build something it will end up looking like a full bumper or a hitch to get something strong enough.

 

as already mentioned, receiver hitch is cheap and will do the job. Aftermarket bumpers can give you additional recovery point options but at a much greater cost
