Yes that's plenty. If 6 bolts was enough to pull myself out of 3 foot ditch, then yes 7 is fine

I mean would it be enough to get pulled out of deepish mud if needed? I don't really like mud. I enjoy crawling more but that's harder to find in central pa.

the ditch i went in, was 3 feet deep, of 90 degree angle, i know the picture doesn't seem much but it was really steep. we winched the jeep backwards with the rear tire blocking the entire jeep cause it was stuck on the ditch, 6 bolts was strong enough. most certainly for rock crawling, yes

I have been known to yank the ever living hell out of people to get them un stuck, anything from axles to shackles to hitches to stock bumpers with d rings welded on ("Oh you won't rip it off" "Oh hey there goes my bumper flying through the air") and even a steering stabilizer once. Damn kids in philly, 1. dont know the difference between an axle tube and steering stabilizer 2. think a d ring tab on a stock bumper is strong.

So, you will be fine haha

No pics, but was a kid from Jersey, going to uti (rival school) at limerick power plant, same Jeep that I ripped the steering stabilizer off on. Was dead nuts cold, I was wearing my bibs and carhart, I made the kid swim to hook up. I got him out after he finally hooked it up right, and made 50 bucks, then sold him a sick bumper for 20 haha. Someone on here may have seen the Jeep. Was flat black with stupid hood scoop things, beat to hell, 6 inch Micky mouse lift on 33" ats. Would have been seen between phoenixville/spring city and Exton area.

I've had my stock bumper ripped off. I got stuck and trusted someone to hook the strap. well he attached it to my bumper and I didnt think to double check cause he didnt really know where to hook.
