Hi to all,
I have a few queries regarding recovery points on a 2005 Troopie. Hope the experienced ones amongst you can help.

Is the receiver pin on a Hayman Reese towbar, and the associated connections to the chassis, a suitable "recovery point" for attaching a winch extension strap/snatch strap? I guess the strap needs to be not bigger than 50mm, otherwise it wont fit into the hitch receiver. In this case, do I need one of the proprietary gadgets that incorporates a hook, and slots into the hitch receiver?

Are the two "recovery points"(??) provided stock standard by Toyota at the front, appropriate for recovery?? I have seen an earlier post about these points on maybe an 80 series, which seemed to be vague on the testing details, questioned the attachment to the chassis and really didn't offer a definitive answer.

If these two points are unsatisfactory, what are the possible solutions for the front.

Thanks guys.
