Thread: 2015+ Hilux front recovery/tie down points

I see debate about using the front loops for recovery. Just wondering about real experience. They are beefy and welded through on the other side on a decent part of front frame. It looks like the bolt on certified ones come off the same frame. I’ll use a bridle strop to share the load. I see people online with mixed opinions so just interested if people have actually used and any issues?

I have used already to pull out an old pontoon stuck tight in a pond no problem. It looks to me like the frame would bend before they would break or pull hence the question. This is not a use every weekend either - just if needed now and then.
