Guys....I think I screwed up.....
Lol.
I have been running the same 30,000 lb snatch strap since I first got my JK, 13 years ago. I’m honestly surprised it is still in one piece. Though, it is looking pretty rough. Time for a new recovery strap. I had a hard time wading through the multitude of Chinese junk online that claims 30,000 lbs, but obviously won’t last. I decided to spend decent money and get something that isn’t a craps shoot if it’s going to work or not on the trail. Was looking at Bubba Rope, and found that Smittybilt has their own line too. The 30,000 lb rope was about $135.....but for $50 more they had a 60,000 lb kinetic rope. Why not.......
This guy is THICC. It’s advertised at 1.75”, but with the bury on both ends it’s much larger. I’m curious what kind of stretch it will give. The braids are already blossomed out quite a bit from manufacturing. I’m sure the first stretch will be a good one. It is big enough to where it’s awkward to move around, at least for someone who is not in the marine or rigging industry and is not used to line this size. They did include a duffel bag to move the thing around in to make it easier though. First impressions without putting any load on it, I’m happy with it. $185 on Amazon.
