hey guys, i was thinking of getting a come along because i dont know too many people to go off roading with. also i want to get a tow strap. do you guys have suggestions for both or either one of good ones to get or things to look for, and can i get reasons why what you suggest is preferred? just trying to learn myself in the ways of dirt. thanx m8s

go to tractor supply and pick up 2 or 3 straps a come along, some snatch blocks some shackels and a hi lift and you can do just about anything.

good info, sure, but i mean are their specific brands.... what width of strap 2 or 4", how long? what ply is best, is there a respectable brand for a come a long i should try to find. i was looking for specifics on that kind of stuff.

Strap isnt bad, looks like i has a good rating. Good straps are pricey. That come a long is junk. I have on and it wont budge my truck when stuck off road


Your going to pay some $$$ for a good come a long

 

[Ruppel]

don't get a come a long. get some friends and take them with you in another car. :bigthumb:

This would probably be a goog come along:

Allthough it looks seriously heavy! + it's a little pricy....

They can be found in 1, 2, 3, and 5 tons versions.

the come alongs are nice when you go out all the time like i do...but i usually have been getting too stuck and the teeth break on the come along or the handle folds over like butter...get the winch kit for the high lift jack....mine has been workign great like that..

 

[lifted4x4ranger]

got stuck and used my come a long almost got me unstuck until the handle folded over... :wall:

If you want a really good come along we sell these at my work. I bought one and have had not one bit of trouble with it. The nice thing is they even have a lifetime replacement if for so reason something does go wrong!! Heres my companys site http://www.hooverfence.com/tools/come-a-long.htm If we get enough people intrested in these I might be able to get my boss to give us a discount. Let me know if ur intrested, Chris
