Xterra Gen 2 Recovery Points????

[RevX36]

So on my last off road adventure I was in need of a recovery. Nothing crazy but to my bewilderment. My Xterra doesn't have a single factory recovery point on it anywhere I can see. is this normal or standard? Is there an aftermarket solution available? i have a new trip coming up this weekend and would like to have something by then. Really would appreciate any input on the subject. Happy Monday Y'all.

You should have a front tow hook. It's not the best, but it'll do.

If you don't want to do aftermarket bumpers, your options are limited.
There's these for the front.
These for the back.

Yep. I can see where one used to be. But its been long removed I guess.

You can also get the tampon recovery point if you have a trailer hitch like these

Agree with what JeffPro4x is saying. Xterra's should have a front tow hook, but if you prefer to beat something up that isn't permanently on your ride you can use a shackle hitch receiver like thecoalition said.

Several companies make front recovery setups for 2nd gen Xterra's.

Or you can go for a complete aftermarket custom front bumper replacement that has all the bells and whistles.

P&P and Dezert Runner also offer iterations for recovery points but I wouldn’t buy anything from P&P lmao

I would have at least one hook for a quick recovery and it's easier for tow trucks. I have shackles on my Hefty and two factory hooks in OEM location. I had to buy longer bolts for the OEM hooks to work with the Hefty.

hit up some local salvage yards & see if they ahve any 2nd gen X's on the lot. could get one pretty cheap that one.

Don't bother with Titan/Armada hooks because they don't work in our stock location. I tried...

My recovery points from Dezertrunneroffroad.com have been the beefiest / best I have ever seen. $ 125.00 for the pair, and bolted right up in 5 minutes. I could not wait to have been done w/ the anemic tow hook claw thing that Nissan had put on there at the factory.
