Well it looks like I can get a 3.2T bow shackle through the front point (It was dark and I obviously wasn't trying hard enough ) but it catches on the front guard under the bullbar, only just but it will be enough to scare the crap out of you if it got caught and went bang in a recovery, it wouldn't cause any damage apart from probably bending the guard a fraction but it could be bent back easily or I might just cut out a section of the plate to allow the bow shackle to move a bit more freely. Or as has been suggested get a soft shackle, just have to watch the sharp edge under the front guard, I reckon I could probably get away with putting a piece of high density water hose (with a split down the middle) over the sharp edge when it is needed.
Here is a couple of pics of the recovery point and the tie down points. The first 5 are of the recovery point. The next 4 are of the tie down points that face backwards.
