Looks good .. the only thing I would have done different is to make the recovery points a |-- shape with the vertical bit behind the bar.
This would mean that the welds would not be doing all of the work.

they dont look any further out than the fairlead so they prob wont hassle him anyways, but just to be a bit sort like yah give a hoot about saftey just wack a pair of those yellow caps over yah eyelets like the ones they use on star pegs in worksites!

im just about to build a bar on the dual cab Mav and goin to do just that so it hides the eyelets!
