Re: Rear Recovery points.
Get yourself a class 2 hitch for the XJ and a receiver for a shackle that fits in it. That will be as strong as it gets.
Re: Rear Recovery points.
Or if ya still wanna keep it custom, fab some brackets that weld to your bumper, and then bolt to where the factory hitch bolt on. Then weld d-ring tabs to your bumper. Which ever way you decide to go, you will want to utilize the factory hitch holes, for greatest strength.

Re: Rear Recovery points.
I welded big d-rings on the 3/16" plate steel gas tank skid plate that bolted up to the same mounting points as a trailer hitch. That has worked very well.
