Hey, was having a discussion the other day with a friend about the loop thing on the rear of a GQ, is it a strong enough recovery point for snatching etc? I would assume it's bolted to the chassis but don't want to go tearing it off. I've always just fed the strap into the towbar and put the pin through previously.
I will look in the manual tonight but I'm fairly sure it actually does say that point can be used in emergencies... Ie getting the vehicle out of mud. Or something to that effect.
Most manuals will refer to it as a flat towing point, all the winch challenge guys I know use that area but not the OE loop
IT WILL FAIL, as some one said use it but not if stuck up to door handles. I have used my hook to tow cement mixers off site as well as the odd tojo
Heres a few options

04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
This is what they look like behind the plate. Not impressed at all. And only a thin bead of weld on the out side.
I wouldn't ever be snatching with this.
