[QUOTE="MarkT, post: 86307, member: 3007"] I have two of the Harbor Freight straps. About $14 each. Sewn loops on both ends. I've seen the damage a hard pull on one side of the vehicle can do to either the stuck or the pulling vehicle. (the frame can be pulled out of square) I prefer to use both tow hooks when possible to even out the load and cut the stress on each tow point by half. (unless you are using a trailer hitch or the center of a very strong front bumper to attach to) I'd also rather damage/break a 10,000 lb tow/recovery strap than rip parts off the vehicle with a 24,000 lb one. Kind of a "weakest link" theory... Luckily, most stuck vehicles don't need too much of a tug to get them unstuck. (The exception being DEEP sticky mud... but then you'll probably need to do some digging.) [/QUOTE]
