    I kinda skimmed this thread, but I'll just say that the front tow hook is fine for recovery...in the rear if you have a hitch installed it works well to stick the tow strap loop into the receiver and put the hitch pin through the loop. If you don't have a hitch a frame-mounted tow hook is a much better option than the tie-down point.

    Is the VX frame tapped for a rear tow hook like the Troopers are? It would be on the passenger side frame rail.
