    That is one mod I am happy to say I don't see any need for. SWMBO will be delighted.

    According to Unsealed 4x4 on the subject of "Rated" recovery points -

    The "rated" part, however, gets confusing. There is currently only one car manufacturer (Land Rover) that has done the extensive testing required in order to determine actual weight or force ratings for recovery points. Similarly there are only two aftermarket recovery point manufacturers that provide ratings. Why is this?

    I was going to post that.... but I'm pretty sure they are demonstrating chassis strength.. not the recovery points.

    They have some serious steel work attached to the chassis on these things....

    Still damn impressive.

    Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

    That picture shows chassis strength. Which is very impressive.

    Having been dragged out of all sorts of locations front and back with my car, used it as an anchor for others to winch from and use it to aid with gardening... ( ahem ) it makes a good tree remover..

    I have no doubts about the strength of the factory recovery mounts.
    They are likely one of the strongest factory mounts fitted to a 4x4 on sale.

    I wouldn't personally see the point in adding more as it won't be as secure or as well designed as the factory mounts.

    Yes they didn't use the recovery point they bolted a bar to the chassis. Was for chassis strength.
