Do you mean the strap did the wider damage on the door?

Yes mate. You can see where the shackle hit as an impact puncture but the massive spread of damage to both doors is all Strap. That is a Tough bit of door too!!!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Good clear explanations and easily understood. Its really simple trig stuff when it comes down to it, 'triangulated ' forces or vectors, easily missed in the field under duress and when the operation appears to be nothing like the theory. Good find @MB

Using a single length bridle across the points rather that 2 3m straps to the hook. 1 6m strap with the hook around the middle that can slide.
The further away from the vehicle the centre of the bridle is the Les the angle and the less the side load is. A 6m bridle, so 3m each return, seems the best option.
Do yourself a favour and Watch the Video.
Thanks for the content Hodge!

@MB nice one mate. Yeah I have quite a few soft shackles now. Still like the ones I made as the strongest I have as they are the only ones made from 12mm rope. Over the gear stick for the storage win for sure.
I have a snatch ring which I have used a few times now and recently bought another through a big sale discount, when it turned up it is made for 12mm rope and is about 150mm across so a really good diameter too. Stoked.
I also grabbed an 18mm Kentic Rope which is snazzy. Not a big fan of snatching and in the GQ will always Winch cause 24Vforlife. But it could see some use in Cape Jaffa.
