I have a '16 Tacoma and would like to mount a shackle on the front but can't seem to find anything that is available quickly. Suggestions please?
Thanks in advance!

Tacoma Front Tow Shackle

Mobtown off road makes a pretty sweet front recovery bar, with both shackle mounts and a hitch receiver

Yeah that looks legit, maybe do a search on tacomaworld, I'm sure someone has done some testing with it.
i would just make sure that thing is bolted real well, because that thing would be one hell of headache if ripped off during recovery
Thank you Merk and motorpig60. I had seen the BP Fab product but not the mobtown item. It's 25% of a bumper, sheesh! Makes me think I need to save the pennies for a little while and get a bumper plus winch.
The BP fab recovery hook is really all I was able to find in TacomaWorld. Looks pretty good quality though. Still trying to decide if I want a bumper for my ‘17 Tacoma. Warn has come out with a “slimline” that looks pretty good. I was able to see one installed and ask questions. Warn says it’s “no cut” but in fact you do have to cut some of the plastic on the bottom and I guess they give some grommets to hold said plastic up that don’t really work. So there’s that but I am a fan of minimal cutting.
Other than that seems the bumper is really well made and comes at a decent price. They do suggest the Warn Zeon line of winches to go with the bumper in the Tacomas due to all the mechanicals being center mounted on the winch. There’s some sort of bracket for the grille that offset winches could run into and have problems fitting.

Damn, I was holding out for the Warn Slimline because I didn't want to cut. My local dealer said there was no cutting but the instructions appear to note otherwise.
Thanks for the info.

Check out Metal Tech's new line of bumpers. I heard their owner being interviewed on the Off-Road podcast and he impressed me with his knowledge.

From what I saw it’s a little bit on the plastic underneath and it’s pretty minimal. One thing that also appealed to me about the warn bumper is the hoop appeared to be a little higher than the SSO bumper so I feel like it would protect the grill a little better, maybe. Just a S.W.A.G. based on pics I’ve seen. Thing is, the place I was at quoted just shy of $3k for the bumper, winch and install. That’s quite a chunk of change, so for now I’m just holding off.
