Default Nice forged "D" rings
Saw a pic a while back of a rig that had a really nice looking set of bow shackles (D rings). They were the standard size to fit most bumpers, they were just really well made looking.

Anyone have a clue?

Thanks.

Not sure what you're even asking here, but if you're looking for forged D rings two good brands are Van Beest and Crosby. 3/4" 4-3/4 ton.

+1 on the Warn. I have a set, though the coating is not that good.

I'm ver familiar with Crosby. Their 3 part bow shackle is the rigging industry standard. Probably overkill for quick off-road recoveries.

I think those warn ones are them.

I will echo what others have said. VanBeest or Crosby is the way to go. There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to purchasing recovery gear.

Haha, I knew if catch flack for that.

I guess then technically we should all be using Crosby three part bow shackles.
