Utah Soft Shackle Recovery Points

I didn't find them when I looked yesterday and the product link posted here previously is dead. I figured they were gone and just ordered a raw set.
Yeah, I ordered a first generation raw set before Mr. Blaine had some of the second gen ones anodized. I radiused them myself (that's the difference between 1st and 2nd gen) and paid a finisher almost $100 to hard-anodize them. The Cole/Mr. Blaine deal was much better. It's too bad there's not enough sales volume to keep these in production because they really are a stellar design. And once again - to anyone wanting a great option for soft shackle recovery points, buy a set now while you still can!

I saw those photos and could swear I purchased a set shortly after reading your post (like 2 years ago, maybe?), but I cannot find them for the life of me. I gave in and just bought another set. 🤪

BTDT. More than once. My memory ain't what it used to be, and my house, garages, and shop have too much stuff in them because I'm a pack rat (not a hoarder!) :cool:

Oh, if I did actually buy them, I have absolutely no doubt they will reveal themselves within 6-9 months of the ones I just order being installed. I'd bet on that horse. :D

Sometimes when I have a free moment I ponder which will come first, death or garage organization. 🤣

Not to undercut brother @sunnysideup_lj , but it looks like I'll be listing a set of "vintage" KXTFab billet recovery points for sale in the very near future due to my lapse in, uh, inventory management...
