what size tow strap
ok so i havent seen anything on what size tow strap to get. my vehicle is strictly mud and here in south florida our mud is like soupy vacuum. northern sells a 2"x 20' strap for 20 bucks thats rated at 8500lbs. considering the curb weight is roughly 3000 will this be sufficient?

Something else you may want to think about is although every inch is worth 10000 lbs the way it is stitched may lower that weight rating some.
( The 3 inch straps I use are rated at 27000 lbs. and one of the tree straps I use is a 12 foot 3 inch that is rated at 27000 lbs. While the 6 foot 2 inch tree strap I use for my flat fender Jeep that weighs maybe 2200 lbs is only rated at 8500 lbs. )
