I've been asked if i'd like to do a bit of offroading, durrr YES! But i've not got any rear recovery points, does any one have any suggestions? Would a D ring that fits the front bumper fit the back through the x-member? Or would a tow ball be a better option? Anyone done anything different? Thanks for all the other help so far!

I've got a Dixon-Bate tow Ball & Pin.
Works great. Better than just a Tow Ball, as you can put a Shackle through the Pin, so there is no chance of the strap coming off.
It's more likely that you'll use the front ones to be rescued and the rear to pull someone else.
I use the original type D Rings bolted to the front dumb irons, with a 2m long strap, shackled to both of them, so that when towed the pull is split between both chassis rails.
