Starting to get my recovery gear and reading about doing recovery...most people use d rings and kits come with them, but our steel bumper only has hooks... from what I see hooking up a d ring or even just a strap to a hook can be dangerous because if it comes off it becomes a deadly projectile.

What points do our bumpers have that we can securely sue for recovery, or is it really not as bad as it sounds?

Nothing wrong with a strap on the stock tow hooks. People need to get out of the way though still just in case. A strap will generally fall to the ground.

Don't use a strap with hooks on it or put a D ring on the strap and then on a hook. Like you've said, it can become a projectile.

Si just use the loop at the end of the strap?

I’m guessing this doesn’t happen with a winch

I replaced front and rear bumpers because of those hooks. Don't understand why Jeep does not put closed loops on those bumpers from factory.

Like @Chocolate Thunder said...Soft shackles or just use the strap. The factory hooks are just fine. Front and rear.
