Looking for a tow rope - not strap

[rhyary]

Hi,
I am looking for a short towing rope, length like a tree saver strap.

I am not looking for a strap. I have that. The strap end loops are too big to easy put into the dixon bates.

I want to use the rope to connect to both of my Dixon Bates so I can pull the car from both (pulling form the middle of the rope)

Here is a picture of what I am looing for and the dixon bates.

Again, the question is where can I get this rope?
Links are welcomed

Would a synthetic winch line work? If so, give the fella at customsplice.com a call. He usually has odd sizes for good prices.

Got it. Here is what I was looking for. 10 foot. Did the measurement and decided on the 7/8" rope.
Although the 1" may fit, it would have been too cumbersome to wrestle it in there. Talking to M-P, the even the 7/8" is has some extra rating (4 to 1)

Petersen's is pushing Bubba Rope?

Just whatever you do, do NOT use a rope strap or whatever with hooks or metal things in the ends of it...

Hilux,
The idea is to pull from the middle of the rope to distribute the load on both dixon bates.
I don't think anything will happen to the dixon bates, but I am concern about the DB attachment to the ARB. It is mounted with a full backing plate that conform to the back of the ARB and over the center seam. But still....

So, I will be pulling from the middle. How would you suggest attaching the winch to the middle of the rope besides D-Shackle?

load or lifting sling from a recovery or crane supply place...


And for attaching, a short piece of @ 1" rope in a Prusik knot...

All you have to do... uh, better if I show you... prusik knot - Google Search
