[QUOTE="Madcowranch, post: 106695, member: 185"] Hey BKool thanks for weighing in here. I appreciate your real world experience. My concern with using a tow strap with no elasticity (as opposed to a snatch strap) on our Raptors to jerk them out would be either I'd break the tow hook or yank the frame out of square with that kind of sudden force. I don't know if they would hold up like a Hummer to that kind of abuse. I've seen what chains (same concept) do to a vehicle when ******...not pretty. Now you could probably get away with that kind of recovery using the receiver hitch in the rear but I'd be hesitant to use the front hooks like that. Unfortunately most times we get stuck around these parts, the recovery vehicle is in the goo as well, so a slow pull just gets both vehicles stuck. Only option is for the recovery vehicle to get some momentum going (unless a tractor is used). [/QUOTE]
