snow tow

lexusbloke · Jan 21, 2013

Been using the disco to recover some mates cars and broken 3 tow/recovery ropes. Does anyone now a good reliable but not too expensive strap that they would recommend. Im looking about 4 meters. Everyone is advertising that they are the best, so im looking for a proper opinion from the landy community. Thanks

need to use something other than clothes line rope

use this and don't be cheap, Take care of it and will last for years. Get them wet and frozen and strength is reduced for all tow straps

And no I've had better things to do like welding and not freezing my arse off in the rain, nothing wrong with the other V8.

Thanks everybody. I think it was a combination of poor straps and lack of experience on my behalf
