Shrockworks skid plate owners

Can the factory recovery points still be used?

I'm pretty sure all aftermarket skid plates are mounted back to the same
Holes. Only bumpers use the recovery holes

Actually the Shrockworks Radiator skid does use the recovery point mounting holes. The instructions say to remove the factory hooks to install the plate but do not mention putting them back on. I will need to retain them for now as I do not have an aftermarket bumper with shackle mounts.

Yes, you can use the factory loops. Here's my install before I got my front bumper.

Also beware that the skids may interfere with your bumper depending on what bumper you go with. The radiator skid hits the cross member of my AOR bumper so I had to put some spacers on the radiator skid to get it to mount up again.

Thank you Unner.

Yeah they were in stock so it only took about a week and a half to arrive. Unfortunately UPS managed to bend the crap out of the mounting surface so I had to refuse the radiator skid. Shrockworks is already shipping a replacement.
