I have a 99 LX that I'm taking offroad to do some camping with the family. I don't have the funds for a bumper and winch (nor can I really justify it later since I don't plan on wheeling it THAT hard) I've thrown around the idea of a hidden winch setup eventually though....anyway I was trying to put together a setup to take with us so I could get us unstuck since I'm travelling alone with wife and 2 kids. I have a 20ft tow strap rated to 6000 lbs , a come along rated at 8000, and another strap rated at 6500. All this is the working load ratings. Also a 3/4 shackle. I was thinking if I doubled over the 6k rated tow strap I should be good since that effectively doubles the rating.
I know this isn't ideal, but what are y'alls thoughts on this setup used to winch the LX out of a mud hole or whatever slowly with that come along? I wouldn't use that tow strap as a snatch strap just slowly drag the truck a few feet with the come along, or have someone else slowly drag me out with their truck. I know there isn't much safety factor, but realistically for someone who is only going to be doing light wheeling 3 times a year (maybe having to pull myself out of a mud hole during hunting season) would I be fine with these straps?
