Resurfacing this thread. I’m still trying to source one of these “raptor claw” OE tow hooks, in case anyone has one available. They’re fairly rare apparently and like >$200 new.

I’m 90% sure that aftermarket recovery points won’t work with a stock bumper, but I’m open to convincing otherwise. Here’s why: in a nose-down scenario you’re likely pulling up a little, which will slice through that bumper like dental floss through tofu.

So one more bump for a used one out there in ‘Mudland, else I’ll look at custom fabrication. Already reached out to Jason at @TRAIL TAILOR.

I think I have one that I took off when installing an ARB bumper. If you are still looking, I'll check to see if I still have it. It's from an 2002 LX470 but should be the same.
