Your factory Tacoma recover hook is a solid piece of steel. Just use that!

Best explanation/review I've seen done on these things for sure. I have a 2010 Tacoma TRD 4x4 and have wanted to put a set of recovery points on mine for the longest time. Unfortunately I have yet to find anything for my year truck which is still pretty much stock. I ran across these Demon Brackets a while back and at first I was excited to finally find something that would fit but after looking at them more closely I immediately became very skeptical. Thank you for taking the time to create this video. It is much appreciated. My search continues. Uhg!

Im glad the video was helpful! If you have the factory front hook I showed in this video you should be fine for light to moderation recoveries; you don't need to buy anything. If you want to spend some money, ARB offers a stout front recovery point.

I just saw these for the first time 2 days ago, and my first thought was that it's the sketchiest piece of "recovery" gear I've ever seen.

If I came across someone stuck I wouldn't recover them if demon brackets where the only option. This wouldn't be me being unempathetic, it's just not safe.

Has anyone ever used these for anything other than for decoration? They seem dangerous if someone is trying to use these and they’re not aware of what they’re mounted to.

Amazing job at explaining how terrible these things are. Just an overall waste of money.

I was gonna “upgrade” to these but I think I’ll stick with my factory recovery hooks

That factory hook is great.

Thanks for the video. When you use “that fancy aluminum thing 😂” is the pin might be the weakest point and what pin do you recommend? Plus what brand is the “fancy aluminum thing?”

It's a Factor55 block. I can't say I've ever heard of a hitch pin failing when used for a recovery. The pin is in double shear, so it would have to be sheared in two places simultaneously to fail. Im sure the pin isn't a weak link. knowing that, you don't need a fancy pin. just buy a Reese or whatever is at Walmart lol. That what I have.
