What are others using for rear recovery points?
If you've got a hitch it wouldn't be anything to run a recovery point off of their. You can get an bow shackle insert or a pig tail style hook.

What are others using for rear recovery points?

I was looking at those. But if using a bridle in the front between two recovery points is recommended, then is it advisable to only use one recovery point on the rear, especially one point that uses only a single pin to tie it into the vehicle?
Not that I am trying to question you, as I am certainly no expert, just wanting to make sure my systems are thought through.
Can you get a "D shackle" in there to hook up?
Looking at the new Demello front bumper, do you think these would still be needed?
How does this load equalizing bridle work? Do you attach it to the OEM tow loops using a D shackle?
Also, whats the difference of a load equalizing bridle compared to a tree saver tow strap?
[Edit: I think I found my answers here Recovery Straps and Accessories ]
These aftermarket tow points/hooks look nice, but do you have to move the radiator in order to fit in the bolts? I don't want to touch my radiator.
I think that's a good question. If you think about it though you're tow hitch is tied into both sides of the frame, so you are already equal. As for the pin, the shear strength on those is going to be something ridiculous, most likely greater than 100,000 lbs. You will snap your cable or strap long before you lose the pin. In fact it is probably the strongest part of that system by a long shot.
Back on topic, I am looking forward to seeing what other products Trail Tailor comes up with for the 120, the stuff for other series looks good.
Just ordered a set- can't wait to install. Any issues if i decide to just spray paint them? I live in a pretty dry climate so not worried about rust.
A sneak peak for you guys!
Off to powder coat tomorrow.
