Default KK Recovery Points - what is available?

My son is considering buying a KK. Having been through the recovery point saga with my own Grand Cherokee WK2's, what is the situation with proper recovery points for the KK? Are there proper recovery points available after-market?

Thanks in advance, knowledgeable and wise KK owners!

For me...the uneek bar came with them for the front, on rear the tow bar iron man recovery hitch.

My KK is about to be replaced. If your in WA PM me if your son want to consider it. Fully modified.

Most people buy a set made for the KJ as they fit the KK too.

Thanks for the offer - but a bit far to travel. I’m in a Sydney.

Brilliant! Thanks for that.

My son went all the way to Newcastle yesterday to look at a black KK, but the paint was knocked around, and another in Tuggerah, but he didn’t like the gold colour.

Will keep looking.....

You know it's funny. On my club's 4WD training courses, they tell you not to get any recovery points that are welded. They say you can't tell what the weld is like unless you x-ray it. They only like one piece, or bolted together parts, with minimum M10 Grade 10 or 12 bolts.

How many welds on those? And I reckon they are TIG welded, or robot MIG... They are some nice welds!
