Once you arrive, disconnect the tow bar and hit the trail with fully functional recovery points still in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne Attachment Point. Two Jobs.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AEV Flat Tow Recovery Points combine tow-bar attachment and off-road recovery functionality in a single, application-specific component. Integrated safety-chain attachment points further simplify the setup, creating a clean, purpose-built system without adding brackets below the bumper or compromising ground clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than adapting a universal solution to an AEV bumper, these recovery points were engineered specifically around the EX\/RX Front Bumper and the requirements of JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eRetrofit Your Existing AEV Bumper\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlready have an EX or RX Front Bumper? You do not need to replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flat Tow Recovery Points bolt into the location of the original recovery points using the existing mounting arrangement. No cutting. No drilling. No custom fabrication. No additional mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a straightforward way to add flat-tow capability to an existing AEV-equipped Jeep while preserving the integrated design and recovery functionality of the bumper system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEngineered for Tow-Bar Clearance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard EX\/RX recovery points are positioned to maximize off-road clearance and approach angle. That location, however, limits the upward articulation required by a flat-tow system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAEV’s Flat Tow Recovery Points move the attachment location outward just enough to provide the necessary tow-bar movement while retaining excellent front-end clearance. Approach angle changes from approximately 58.7° with the standard recovery points to 54.13° with the Flat Tow Recovery Points, while ground clearance remains uncompromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible by Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recovery points are designed for tow-bar adapters with a:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1-inch inner width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7\/8-inch attachment pin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible adapter options include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlue Ox Off Road Bumper Adapter Kit — Part #BX88357\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoadmaster Off Road Bumper Kit — Item #035-1\u003c\/strong\u003e (1-inch-thick “D” tab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese adapter options allow the recovery points to interface with compatible Blue Ox and Roadmaster flat-tow systems.
