Looks like a winner, defiantly beefy. Just keep a clevis handy to make strap hook ups easy.

i'm just choppin. yours looks killer too dude. i like the idea of the d-shackle instead of the recovery ring. plus it's stainless, so if you forget about it, it won't seize in there.

i have a warn shackle receiver for my junk. i just spray painted it black.

don't matter how they look, as long as it gets you out.

True. I have one that I bought but it's just welded and I like to be overkill.....So why not.
