Been looking for a Kinetic recovery rope to have around, they have worked quite well a few times when I have been with friends that have them.
My Vehicles:
2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK
1999 Ford F250 7.3L 2WD
The truck is most likely to get stuck, but it usually is not bad (typically in my front yard) and it doesn't go anywhere crazy due to being 2wd. It also has a 10k winch for pulling trees around and crap. The Jeep is what I normally take offroad.
I found a heck of a deal locally on a brand new Masterpull strap on CL for about half of retail price. The problem that I see is the weight rating of 52K lbs, having read that they don't work as well if oversized. Now finding what size is right seems to be difficult also.
Looking at Bubba Rope and Masterpull:
Bubba - 28,600 and listed for "4x4 trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs"
Big Bubba - 52,300 and listed for "full-size trucks and large SUVs"
Masterpull Super Yanker - 28,500 for "Mid Size SUV"
Masterpull Super Yanker - 33,500 for "Full Size Trucks"
The agreement seems to be there for the mid-size SUV market, but the full size disagrees greatly. Now I think going slightly up from the jeep one would be good since I will usually be loaded down when stuck, not an empty jeep.
What is the right sizing for these, and do you think I should pick this one up or keep looking?
