looking to get a tow strap in case myself or a friend gets stuck so we can pull them out. i have a 96 jeep. would a 2" widtch 16'length 20,000 break strength enough for me?

should get a recover strap if u can afford it, the elasticity it offers aids in recovering a stuck car

ok, how much are recovery straps normally? bc foir the size of teh tow strap i just mentioned its only be like $22 is a recovery strap alot more money?

The 2"x16' strap you're looking at is just fine for what you need to pull your XJ or another rig of equal weight. You might possibly want to find one a little longer as 16' doesn't give you much length to work with. 20K pulling capacity is WAAAAAAAAY more than you need for an XJ. So, if you can pick that 2"x16' strap up for $22, I'd say go for it.

i can get one thats like 20 or even 25 feet for like 30 or less thats still 20,00 breaking point. that would be betteR?

you can always loop two together just put a stick or something in there so you can get them back apart but the longer you get the less likley you will have two rigs stuck you can never have two many tow ropes man

very true. thanks ill look to maybe get a bigger one and then another one thats just the 16 footer that way i have 2 and will be ready for any job at hand

I have a 30' strap that I use. Just for the versatility. I have up to 30' to work with or I just tie it off for the length I need. It works like a champ. Where exactly are you finding these tow straps for such a good price, Bro?? It's about time for me to pick up a new one.

That had better be one hell of a stick to use in recovering a vehicle.

if you use the loops on the straps they will never come undone again unless you stick a stick in there to absorbe the impact and ya it needs to be about 5 or 6 inches around been there done it both ways and now we have a strap that is over 60 feet long cause it will not come undone

clayton3854

dang how much did you pay for a strap of 60 ft? that hadda cost you a fortune

If you read the whole post it is because they attached two straps together loop to loop and couldnt get it apart.

Of course a clevis is probably a better way to attach them and still be able to remove both straps.

ok havnt seen this mentioned, only hinted at.

buy one with loops on the ends and not hooks.
