On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
I'm not scared of some work, especially if somebody has some box tube and bar stock just lying around that I can get for cheap. I thoroughly enjoy making stuff even if I am a noob at some of it.

By the time you buy a $30 shackle and $3-5 on consumables, you could spend a few more dollars and get a complete set (which should have a spare hitch pin, and someone is always needing one of those). Recovery gear is one of the few things most will tell you to not skimp on as it will get somebody hurt.
Thought of something else. I like to bring a short (4-6 foot) piece of chain if you bring a nice strap. That way you can use it to attach your strap to someone who doesnt have tow points and it wont tear up your expensive strap.
Also, there very well may be cheaper shackle mounts out there (30?) that was just for illustration. Didn't burris say he had some?

The smart thing to do is call me (Brett) at 972-575-8762 and tell me who you are if you need a Jeep-related part.
I use the receiver hitch as the tow point by inserting a strap as discussed above. I don't roll high enough to have a hitch pin though, but a 1/2" bolt works.
