So now I go a tow strap. Where do I hook it to pull the good lookin' girls outta the snow banks?

You hook the tow strap around any part of the girl that is sticking out of the snow bank. Preferably not the neck though.

You could wrap the strap around your front axle and pull 'em out backwards.

hmm, depending on what kind of vehicles you are trying to pull out you could probably get away with just instaling some tow hooks to the frame, I don't think they are too expensive.

That should have never been posted. Everyone has seen how bad this can end. And if you havent just watch a few movies on youtube. In the front depending on how bad they are stuck I have just gone around my bumper, but remember that the factory bumpers arent that strong either. Never hook straight to the axle.

Ok. I know its not the ideal situation, but he wants to know where to hook up without a tow hitch or hooks. I think the front axle is a lot stronger than your bumper!

I tried looking it up on YouTube and couldn't find anything. You got a link??

If you want to be the "King" and "rescue" everybody.. then the responsible thing to do is get front and rear tow points.

There is NO WHERE to safely attach a strap without a hitch or front Hooks, both of these things tie into the "frame" very well.

I cant do youtube at work. All I was meaning by the bumper is that I would rather loose it rather than the axle. Neither are great but sometimes you gotta go with what you got.
