Great video! If I ever get stuck, I hope it's Mad Matt coming up the trail...
Thank you for that mate 🤙
Very good Matt, good to see some detail about the tow bar rating or lack of.
You could still bend a pin either way if you're exceeding the weight rating of the pin or any other component in the setup. Whether you use a straight hitch pin or the hitch and shackle in the receiver, once you apply pressure while pulling the pin will still have pressure on two points. Those points are right where the pin is going through the receiver on each side of the receiver. The only difference is that when you use the hitch and shackle in the vehicle's receiver, you're adding a slight bit of extra reinforcement to help distribute the pressure a little more. However, if you're trying to snatch something you can still exceed even the rated load weight and bend or break either part of it. I've never bent a pin staying close to the rated load and even sometimes a little over while using either method. I still prefer to use the hitch and shackle because of the lack of an edge using the shackle (the end of the truck's receiver) versus using a round shackle that allows me to pull at an angle without putting that extra pressure on the side of my strap while being pulled around the sharp angle of the receiver.
I bent a pin snatching a mates 4t gu up a hill couple years back, we even bent the rated d shackle. I always use snatch block these days and I'm still shocked how we bent the shackle
Excellent, thank you!
Pin quality varies, can one simply use a high strength nut and bolt in place of the pin in the receiver? I usually do this in place of pins when towing.
Great vid thanks so much
What if your truck does not allow for a hitch reciever/ hitch pin
My 2021 4Runner has big ass beefy thick steel welded front and back to the chassis in front. That ain’t for tying down to a truck! 😎
Thanks for this! If you have a stock 4wd and you’re either trying to help someone or are stuck yourself, is there any front point to attach to, or is it just the tow pack?
Front points are more tedious. Generally anything along the frame will likely be fine, especially if you can distribute the load. Otherwise, if you know what you're doing, in some cases the sway bar, control arm, or even wheels can be used. But i wouldn't go putting too much stress on any of those, that's mostly quick and simple traction loss pull outs- not for mud or snow or anything where a lot of force is involved.
Here in the uk the square tow hitches are very uncommon, we have a tow bar with a flat metal sheet that you bolt on a tow ball via 4 bolts, you can buy a square tow hitch to bolt on in place of a tow ball but would that be safe to recover from? I worry that 4 bolts will not be enough
Good video -BUT why the music?!
Ridiculously loud compared to his speaking. Whoever edited this did a lousy job.
I bought a hitch recovery block from super centre and it doesnt have the rating on it.. is it safe to use?
Another well done and informative video. Thanks Matt! I do have one question, I just finished reading an excellent book. It was called, " off road manual" by Cobbley and Phillips. The book was written with the Land Rover in mind and these gentlemen are from the UK. With that said the book was well written with regard to all different types of four wheeling, how to drive in different types of terrain and also proper recoveries. On one of the pages though they specifically mention and show using the tow ball in certain recovery situations. These gentlemen are experts in their field and I don't understand why they would recommend that. Please advise if you have any opinions on this or maybe you know these gentlemen.
if j dont have a removable tounge on my tow bar car i put a shakle through the hole wjere the ball goes
Great info - the music does not add anything.
Loudly music i couldn't get the points clear
Should've gone to Bay Audiology 😅
