The key is to use your head. If you get to the point where you have to try to snatch like the moron in the video it's time to re-think your plan of attack. It's at that point where I prefer to attach at two points & use a 2nd vehicle or if there is a winch equipped rig, strap it to a tree & use the tree as an anchor to pull the stuck rig. If it's a situation where the vehicle is stuck so bad two straps & two vehicles can't free it or an anchored winch rig can't....it's time to take a break & think outside the box.

I don't have a rear bumper or hitch, I just run mine to the frame rail.

I'll have to get under my truck to see what you're talking about. I remember thinking of the same thing but not seeing anything to hook it up to.

I've driven vehicles with no rear attachment point many times when someone needed a yank. I just used the front tow hooks and pulled in reverse.

The only reason I keep the tow hitch on my 3rd gen 4runner is a attachment point for recovery. I don't tow any trailers. Someday I'll get that custom bumper but for now it will do.
