[quote=scottapher;51008185]I noticed you said to use "x amount of WIRE rope"......hopefully you ARENT using a tow-strap made out of wire cable! When most vehicles are assisting in getting the stuck vehicle UN-stuck they arent as gentile as a winch is that is using the same amount type and amount of wire rope.QUOTE]

Hey, no, I do have a tug strap, but wire rope(cable) from a defunct winch can be used, and in the 2:1 or 3:1 pulls I wouldn't think that anyone would put it into 4Hi and gun it. More of an easy 4Lo kind of application. Also, whenever pulling, winching, or whatevering, saftey measures such as dampeners on the lines and a clear work area should be used.
It sucks having a stuck rig.
It sucks even more having a stuck rig & injured people.
