    Yes this is a problem for sure. But let's consider in that recovery the soft shackle will be used at the anchor point, ie. The tree truck protector if the hook won't work or if the Double line pull is needed.

    We don't need to over Engineer anything, and the steel gear still has a place for sure. The Soft shackle should be used wherever possible though bearing in mind sharp edges.

    I recently also invested in a 50mm square hitch receiver specifically designed to take a soft shackle which I will run on the back of the62.

    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.

    I was under the impression that we could all throw away our old heavy gear and rely on soft shackles spruiked by so many here there and everywhere, not the case in my travels

    Yeah we really are in an extended transition period mate, fast forward another 10 years and there will be very few recovery points with sharp edges. It's coming, we aren't there yet though. As I replace or update gear I am certainly making choices around my want to use Soft shackles.
