Hey, I need some recovery points for my winch bumper on my D2, I have a 36mm hole either side of the bumper ready for them, the problem is the ones on ebay that fit in these holes dont look very strong! they have a shoulder that fits inside the bumper and a circlip on the front. they look like they could pull out under a recovery situation. what do you guys use??

MMM........lifting eyes would work, but look bloody awful tbh.............the swivel ones will be more than enough assuming your bumper is made well, with either of the solutions you should use a bridle and spread the pull between both eyes.
