Just been looking at the front recovery point thread and a bit of associated reading, from that it seems that one ought to only use either a winch or kinetic rope to extract a stuck jimny. I have neither. Is using a non kerr strap on a reasonably steady non snatch recovery really going to do vast amounts of damage? eg a tractor pulling from firm ground is a kerr necessary?

I definately wouldnt use a kinetic rope on the standard tie down point you will rip them clean off!! Ive seen bumpers swiftly removed with kinetic ropes :laugh:
recover very slowly with no snatching or jerking if using stock points!!

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
In The Olden Days kinetic recovery was regarded as A Very Dangerous Thing, and stories went round that the military only permitted the use of kinetic ropes on armoured vehicles, and the hatches had to be closed too.
Nowadays no-one seems concerned, and tales of towballs going through the windscreen of vehicles have the status of urban myth.
A nice steady pull from a tractor or a winch is much safer

Personally I love KERR's, the horror stories you hear are usually due to the people using them, and how well built there vehicle is...
