Gen3 outback front recovery points... a thought

Interesting. Wonder why they went to bolt on then back to welded.

Thank you for the link sir!

They are welded on my 2013 OB.

It is possible to use high-strength small-size shackles (yes they exist) or soft shackles with a load distribution strap and then another load distribution strap between this strap and the eye bolt, for a nominal 50/25/25 distribution.

A little hard to imagine they would be needed in sand though (shovel) or mud (ugh access).
