[QUOTE="The Green Wanderer, post: 87677, member: 784"] Exactly right condor, tow points are for vehicle to vehicle towing on roads period. Recovery hooks and shackles are for snatching bogged vehicles. Snatching is not towing as it utilizes what is essentially an elastic cable greatly multiplying the force applied to it. Recovery points are engineered with this in mind, they are available in every auto parts store for around 20-30 bucks. Theres just no excuse not to use them. Sad part is that landcruiser is fitted with hooks from the factory specifically for recoveries, the rear ones were probably removed to install the tow bar. All he had to do was go and buy a shackle hitch for the tow bar receiver. [/QUOTE]
