Yeah, but if you put the pics side by side (play connect-the-strap).....
You'll see that, in addition to the two fellas, we were using my rig as additional ballast over on the other side of the obstacle.......

Troy,
Your rig is 15 feet in front of were mine was during the picture taking. I don't have the picture of your rig in the exact same spot as I was. I am sure someone does. I remember seeing and helping quite a few rigs from the vantage mine is being tugged in...including yours. B for effort
EDIT: Troy I stand corrected, YOUR rig was not pulled from that angle, it was pulled from the rear over the rock I was pictured on. However this rig was tugged just like mine :laugh3: Nothing wrong with that. I wanted the tug and so did others. No problem, just pointing out all us feel tippy....even you. I remember having the discussioin with you about were you were going to be tugged from and your cage was too far behind your 2drs B pillar.

I always thought running the strap over the top gave better leverage... or is that just for righting upside-down vehicles?

Remember that pic of Farmer Matt using the winch cable hooked up to his roof rack to keep his XJ upright off the rocks. Talk about leverage. :laugh3:

The higher you can tie the strap on the more leverage. But if you were to tie onto my roof rack, and the jeep started over. The jeep would be on it's side, and there would be a couple of people with a rack on a leash. :laugh3: :laugh3:Handlebars said:

That isn't the trail, that is the entrance to the parking lot.

And they make it easier to achieve the "Dukes of Hazzard" style entry and exit.
