Not sure if a post such as this is allowed, but I try stay away from the Raptor brand as a whole, all their products seem to have be massively expensive, often for very similar products to other well-known off-road brands. The eBay link above is just one example of many.
It seems that their pricing strategy of "it's worth is what someone is willing to pay" is working for them, because going by the Jimny Buy/Sell page on Facebook, there's a fair few purchases of their products.

Agree with Venter. Raptor 4x4 is not where you'd want to put your money. Everything is stupidly overpriced.

It's just a shackle... locally I get them for like 2.5-3 quid (atested ones).

They arrived quickly, feel nice and sturdy, but they don't fit!
I suppose I will just have to get my nose pierced and wear 'em

Couple of lugs under the front end. There's already a rusty old shackle in one of them that I may have to hacksaw out, but it's slightly smaller.

Are they proper recovery points or the factory tie down loops?
