    Agree. First thing I thought when I saw it. I haven't seen ratings for that or that IIHS has crashed a 3rd gen. Could also be there to prevent bashing the LCA.


    Does anybody know if this is present on the 2nd gen?

    You guys are entertaining! I don't think it would do much in a collision, but sounds good to me. The bolt that holds the crossmember sub-assy frame auxiliary on, was just in the way of where I wanted to store a shackle. Only have one bolt in tie down right now.

    Is that technically a good recovery point? I know lots of guys put tow hooks and stuff there but its 3 bolts and pretty thin steel. Not worried about ripping?

    It is a tie down, just a place to store shackle for looks. Putting red decals on skid plate too. I would actually use it in a shackle hitch, up front, just for show.
