RUGGED RIDGE XHD Front Bumper Question.
Hey guys i have a xhd front bumper.
How do you attach your recovery strap to your D Ring?
I use a shackle to attach the two together.
The problem is the shackle scratches the paint off the D ring and
now i have surface rust.
Its not a big deal ill touch them up with some bedliner...
How do you attach your recovery strap and are your D rings rusted?

Not sure if it's good practice or not but in a pinch I loop the tow strap around the D ring and pull through the the end loop then attach the open end to whatever needs to be pulled. (Assuming I'm doing the pulling)

Pick yourself up a pair of "off-road" d-rings. Then you can keep your "show" d-rings clean.
Hint: Buy the off road d rings at your local farming supply store. Many hardware stores sell them also.

Buy a set of PureJeep or Teraflex bolt-on d-ring mounts to replace the Rugged Ridge ones. They bolt in place.
