Are they actually sturdy enough to do what the were designed to do; recover and be recovered? I just wanna make sure that if they are used like they are supposed to my bumpers aren't gonna be ripped off or the frame twisted :lol:

well I have been pulled out of mudd and pulled people out of mudd with them, front and rear and they haven't twisted or got bent, I also used a strap that is more friendly on the paint, so I guess they do what they are designed to do

 

They bolt directly to the frame.

 

Ya I pretty much only use ****** straps I'm not big on chains. But I read they are attached directly to the frame which is awesome... as long as your frame doesn't get tweaked :P

 

They are incredibly sturdy... they bolt directly to the frame.

In fact, I would go as far to say they are better than most other vehicle after market tow hooks.

 

Wow really? Thats awesome man. Makes me feel a whole hell of a lot better knowing I can recover people or be recovered without busting my rig up

 

the shackles will be perfect,,,long after you trash your tranny and transfer case while being a hero for someone ELSE at YOUR expense!!!

this has been discussed b4.

the "soft spot"is the trans and transfer box, all gears front and rear.
you could probably lift the h3 with the rings,,,but dont try to pull an imoveable object stuck in mud

or,,,its your $ !!!

btw, when i think of 33 inch tires being turned by an axle about 1 inch diameter,driven by little clutches in trans fluid,,,i cringe!!!

 

I've thought of this as well, is there anything we can do about it? does anyone make beefy aftermarket drive train parts?

 

I have pulled a 26000 pound truck that was broken with them
But never again!

 

26000lb truck? What kind of truck and what were the circuimstances

Why never again, also?
