Grand Cherokee Off Road | Trail Damage and Badges 

I’ll be brief: the video speaks for itself; amazing capabilities of the rigs. Matt, I am SO impressed and wish I were there. Brad, Sam our little mountain goat is growing into a valuable helper and videographer. I just love him. All the best to all! Miss you. Keep on Jeeping safely with my greetings from Greece.

Hey Brad, Raymond here, just a suggestion.. When we run into that side pulling situation, we usually wrap a rope sling around the wheel. Those things are almost as good as the frame in those situations. Great video, and be safe out there!

Not sure why so many people want to run bow shackles on their vehicles before they need to be recovered. Losing clearance, making noises and can fall off from vibration. Of course you would need to take it off to actually hook it up and use it as well so what’s the point?

Like very much

I was frankly shocked that a simple tug like that bent what should be a rated recovery point. Even side loaded that should not have deformed so noticeably. But I was somewhat dismayed when you suggested tying on to the shaft of the towball might have been better. Good ghods no. Watch Matt's Off Road Recovery and Robert Pepper LS2FBC channels where they dissect how an unexpected shear load on those can lead to fatal consequences. Granted this was a 90° pull and the risk would have been practically zero, but still, not something I would ever consider doing. Go with a hitch receiver recovery point and D-ring, 100% good.

I’m here for the rock crawling in a unibody
