What's the best way to secure a recovery strap or tow rope to the front and back of a stock Jeep Wrangler?
I don't venture off-road that often but it has crossed my mind that, at some point, I'm going to get stuck and it would be nice if I could get myself unstuck.
A hi-lift jack can lift and winch and, with the off-road kit and a longer cable or similar to reach an out of reach tree, should be adequate. The only thing I haven't worked out is how to securely attach a tree saver strap to either bumper. The front bumper has tow hooks but they're open at the back and don't seem particularly safe. The back bumper has nothing.
I've found various things like shackle mounting bracket and tow hook that prevent the strap from coming off unintentionally. But I'm not sure whether these can reasonably be mounted on the stock bumpers.
All advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance
Cheers,
Graham
