(picture 8 of 9 on link above shows the plates)

If these are not recovery points, then where are they located as it says in product description 'Durable tow points incorporated into the chassis'
So that when you tow the vehicle or pull it onto a flat bed it is secured at the strongest point of the vehicle as all tow points normally are.
These points have not been designed or tested for a snatch recovery and if the whole where to open up and have the D shackle go through the window of the recovery vehicle you would not be able to sue them as you have been advised that these are not recovery points and should not have been used for this purpose. That is why some of the bars now don't have tow holes any more so there is no chance of snatching from them.
