SXTH Element Prototype Rear Recovery Point (4runner 6th Gen) – Feedback Wanted

• Do you like the general placement and design?
• Does the clearance look right to you for off-road use?
• Anything you’d change about the mounting setup or overall look?

• Do you like the general placement and design?
  • Yes, I do. In my instance, if you see in my YT video, I use my tow hook as a recovery point. This placement could complement that or I can now remove my tow hook recovery. I will address the design in your second question below.

• Does the clearance look right to you for off-road use?
  • My suggestion would be to rotate the point to be horizontal vs vertical, in order to gain additional ground clearance. Every inch counts sometimes, and it sits up tighter for a more minimalist look. Rotating it horizontally will also match my front ones from you guys. I have self-proclaimed OCD (LOL) and would prefer all points from the same company match and have the same design. Wraps everything up very nicely.

• Anything you’d change about the mounting setup or overall look?
  • I am obsessed with attention to detail as the smallest things matter, so if it were my company, I would design the look to match your front ones. Horizontal and have a hexogonal (5-side) look you have with your fronts...and I would certainly anodize them red and stamp the specs on them like you do with the front. It will also immediately identify them as Sxth Element vs the competition (not to be named here).

Hey everyone,

We’ve been working on a prototype rear recovery point for the 4Runner and wanted to get some outside perspective before we move further. I’ve attached a few photos below.

A couple of questions we’d love your thoughts on:

• Do you like the general placement and design?
• Does the clearance look right to you for off-road use?
• Anything you’d change about the mounting setup or overall look?

This is still an early prototype so nothing is final. We really value input from people who actually use these trucks the way they’re meant to be used.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Will these be a pair for drivers and passenger side? That would be nice.

Unfortunately, there is only one mounting location on the 4Runner, so it will be passenger side only.

There is only one mounting point if you are simply designing a replacement for the factory tie down. If you are designing a solution, I think drilling new bolt holes would be ok if it spread the force evenly across the rear frame. Jmho.

That isn't really a feasible accessory for people to buy. That is something each individual person that wants it, would take to a custom shop and have done.
