Go back a page or two and find where I explained why to use a recovery strap, if you didn't see it the first time.

Well I haven't actually done it to my XJ yet, but I'm trying to convince my boss to let me cut the D60's out of our decrepit plow truck

Had issues like that back in HS. Tried to confront the boy who was messing with my truck but he always avoided me. Looking back now, it's probably best he did.
Some one did that to my truck, took all but 2 off per wheel. I buy wheel locks to be safe. Too many dirt bags out there!

And I didn't see this whole page lol.
I can get a 75000 lbs and more at rural king

No problem and also ill let you know never weld on your tow points use bolts cause you can tell when a bolt starts to give but when.a.weld goes it tends to just snap and that can go flying I seen one truck that had the tow hook from another that was welded on stuck it the tailgate

Also the reason you should use grade 5 hardware instead of grade 8. Grade 8 will generally just snap while you can feel grade 5 before its about to give

That's good if your pulling out a motor home, but overkill for an xj.

I'd say its still overkill. Why spend 100 on a strap when you only need a 40 dollar strap?
