Cheap and easy. It's as strong as anything I've seen made aftermarket.
If you're serious enough to need recovery points, or you want to eliminate exhaust coming in the back window when it's open, you should have already turned your tailpipe sideways to exit behind the rear tire.
For really serious pulls or self-rescue with a winch, use a bridle that connects both recovery loops.
Here's a couple of photos showing the tie-down loop and a DIY bridle I made using 1/2" Samson synthetic rope. !/2" rope is thicker than any bridles on the market and the synthetic rope in your winch.

We designed ours to work for a friends FJ. She kept smashing the stock recovery points on rocks and ruining them. Our design has held up great.
