TBH the strap I mentioned was obtained when I first bought a 4wd Corolla in the nineties. Long before joining the forum, I had no idea what I was doing, and used the towball as a recovery point on several occasions. I shudder to think what might have happened if a little more force was exerted during recovery. Back then, info was pretty scarce and my fault for really not trying to learn beforehand. That is why I opened this discussion, in the hope beginners will see it. Your post highlights the right way to obtain recovery gear, @PeeBee.
