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!!

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 ;)

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

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...

Good strong tow points + good KERR is a god send in a sticky situation! "ONLY IF YOUR TOW POINTS ARE GOOD!"
