If you don't have a geared transfercase and aren't running lockers, it is a pretty good chance that you will sustain damage without armor.
However, stock FJ Cruisers, taco's and 4runners have driven this trail.
Keep in mind that many of the obstacles pictured here are totally optional. Only the notch pictured below is required.

Also "with those one," isn't even English. Dictionary.com 
Looks like you guys had a good time. However, your buddy standing at the apex of the snatch block is about to win the Darwin award.

Only thing that would have saved him is that the block itself would have flown on the other side of the tree. The block is about in line with that log in front of the tree. Rope could have still got him though.
Regardless, a definite safety no no.
I couldn't see where anyone was out of the windshield, but they should've known better than that.

Out of respect for Ikes post I will not continue this childish banter. In the future I will try to avoid Kellykel's gravatational pull as she seems to be the center of the universe.
I didn't realize basic import/export economics was a political debate, but you were the one that started the "oil thing", the republicans must have mandated that everyone burns 100 gallons a week.
I have a two degrees, EnGliSH (LOL)and Economics but I still have a tough time with the second loop on my right foot.

The person in the orange shirt is me IIRC.
Um, KellyKel obviously doesn't get physics.
If the line breaks, it's going to retract in the direction the force was applied - ie directly in line between the truck and the snatch block. If the tree strap were to break, the line would want to shoot to a straight line between the trucks, but the line is too long and would never make it, especially with the weight of the snatch block on there. Same thing if the snatch block were to break.
Considering this is synthetic line, the recoil will be minimal (it will still snap back, but no like a steel line)
Where I am standing is THE SAFEST place to stand - outside the triangle, outside the direct line between the trucks. Now, if you are referring to the guy in the white shirt (Doug), you don't understand the picture - he is about 30' downhill from the snatchblock, and perfectly safe too.

Really? Wow, that's amazing. I had no idea that just because it's the internet you get a free pass to doo doo all over the English language. Oh that's right, you're Canadian. Also, I do apologize for not responding to your oil consumption comment, but I must have missed it - and frankly you're not worth the time to dig up your illiterate rebuttal and set you straight. It's a personal policy of mine not to get into political debates with people who can't tie their own shoes. I am however quite pleased to know that you feel drawn to read, reply, and regurgitate every comment I make. So here's to the next gem.
You rule at winching and the English language!
