Other than collared eye bolts & a few quality hooks there are very few attachments available with a rating stamped on them so would be difficult to even comply.

Same as jkohn, each 4b needs a recovery point as apposed to a tow/tie down point. this is what our club is getting at. for the safety of all. We have some very experienced members in our club, some who work in the 4wd industry, and we use there experience as a guide.
