Keeping bling clean only involves sports cars and crap like that. Bling Hummers don't apply.

I believe the PC term is "OFF ROAD BLING."

I'm glad this didn't turn into a Titanic: Part Deux...

Please tell me you didn't use a CHAIN to pull your rig out?

I've always been under the impression that using a chain for such a recovery is not recommended, a) because it has no give, b) a single weak link in the chain and *snap*, and c) all the dangers of a snapping chain flying at you at 100mph. Yet, I've seen so many people doing it...

Good point. And that's a thin chain at that...

Nothing metal (except a winch line on a winch) should be used for recovery!

It worked didnt it. Sometimes you just use what you've got.

I agree, I've used chain all my life-shxt they didn't have fancy tow straps until about 20 years ago. When chain breaks it goes dead-looses all inertia-whereas cable and nylon straps have the rebound effect . anyway I'm big believer in "Git R Done".
