So I finally got around to installing my Apex Overland (aka LFD Offroad) front recovery points. While they could be removed with the stock skid plate still on, it's much easier if you remove it and the associated black trim so that you can drop the sway bar more easily. I had to cut and remove some black tape-like substance over the frame to access the large 19mm bolt hole, and the bolts that mount the sway bar back to the frame were an absolute sonofa***** to get threaded on the driver side, but overall the install was pretty easy. My torque wrench was on the fritz and I snapped the lock washer on the driver side, but Apex helped me source new hardware for it. I'm hoping to stave off a front bumper as long as possible, so these make me feel better about either getting stuck or helping someone else that is stuck.
