sherriff... what front mount is that? i need one...

and those straps cant be rated for to mch... all experiance i have ever had with straps that have hooks built in, suck and they snap real fast.. but they look wide as hell so your good..

ill be bringing a strap and two chains...

i need a spare... anyone know where i can get a 37
tire?

 

That's a junk yard hitch with the ends cut off and a 1/8" plate welded all the way across the top to make it flat from end to end, then it's welded to the frame. I'll probably put bend up some more 1/8" plate and weld it to the back of the hitch and the cross member just to be sure that it'll hold.

Those straps didn't come with hooks, they're connected with 6 1/2 ton shackles from Tractor Supply. And the straps are rated for something like 27000 lbs.

 

you will be alright!!!

We're gonna have a Dodge convoy. At least those Jeep guys will have some nice trucks to look at when we go by.

 

ok, i get what you did.. and i will do thes ame type of thing.. for the hitch that is...

and those straps will be alright... but not set, they will snap after three or four times of jerkin someone out... those are good for the light trucks like rangers and jeeps.. our full sized trucks are to heavy to extended use...

 

we should not need repeated times on one afternoon!! yall are talking about some serious getting stuck to wear out one of those straps!! I aint planning on being stuck that many time in one day!!!

 

well i dont plan on it either but wierd stuff does happen... expecially when yoru on a new trail... lol

but yea, it will do just fine for our trip, and then maybe one weekend with me.. .and it will snap

 

How the hell you you run through straps that fast meanwhite. Geez those suckers are rated at at least twice what a ram weighs...

 

meanwhitemopar, have you ever seen the straps (military) that they use to pick up stuff with the helicopters? A friend of mine has one that is used to carry howitzers (105mm) and it is 4 or 5 stacked straps that are sewn together with a loop on each end, the strap is square because it is multiple straps that are stacked. I believe it is about 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". I guarantee you won't break one of those if you ever get your hands on one.
That guy was pulling me out one time and he was getting about a 25-30' run on the strap and when he got to the end of it his truck hopped off the ground. And he did that a few times before he got me out.
