    Nice work. Is your strap 30 ft one? Curious since I just got one (30 ft), but I haven't had a chance to open it out yet.

    Next time, place a blanket over the strap when pulling, or have your hood up.. The kinetic energy and a d-ring can really ruin your day.

    This is just bad, and could have killed the passengers in the rear. Hell, there wasn't even a D-Ring on it.


    This one, so much fail. To recover this vehicle, it would have been smart to have no less then 2 straps hooked up. Look at the force needed to get the vehicle back up top.


    Last but most important, never use a chain. Chains are tough, but are not designed for shock load. This will most likely get someone hurt badly.

    Very good advice that I usually follow. We did have a picnic blanket on it but it blew away right when i got in the truck. Winds were crazy here. Decided to chance it and get out of there. Good lookin out

    Like the jacket tip. Have to get a goodwill jacket to throw in each vehicle
