I see the three holes at the front where the stock bumper mounts mount. But it looks like you use the steering box holes and the possibility of the LARGE hole at the back.
If you are using all those holes, than you are fine... that is more than adequate for recovery. If I'm not seeing those tie ins... Take a look at the factory tow hook mounts... They use the 3 holes at the front.. plus the lower steering box hole. Plus that large one in the back. The only thing about the large one is that you need to put a sleeve in it.
Back when I bought off the shelf stuff... Custom 4x4 Fabrication made probably the best set of tow hook brackets out there...
About half way down the page, they are still available

And its not necessarily the number of connection points.... its the quality of them and the hardware used... I would much rather have 4 good ones with grade 8 hardware than 6 or 7 with cheap steel and grade 5 or 2 hardware....

those other holes are rossette welds and it is also welded around the outside
its not a half bad lookin bumper if you like the tube, and yeah if he is goign to reinforce it you might as well run with it, you might also check out www.logansmetals4x4.com jsut a thought really fast shipping and cheap at that and they are stout this is what i have and they are quality built, powdercoated, winch mount and deep frame tie ins.
