    Winch ratings are determined at the first layer of cable/rope. As layers are added, the rating goes down. So, you have to pull out all the rope to the first layer to execute the full rating of the winch... which usually translates to pull out as much line as you can for a particular pull to reduce damaging your winch.

    Shackles have a Working Load Limit; make sure you are choosing one based on the required strength and not because it's been powder-coated your favorite color or has a polyurethane silencer (better yet, quit leaving these attached to your rig; keep them in a gear bag). Shackle screw pins are not to be threaded all the way in when in use; thread the pin in until it stops, then back it off some (quarter/half a turn).

    Question: when trucks where being yanked out, how come you made me take the hitch receiver out and just use the pin and the strap?

    Because you could have poped the strap off the hitch and lauched everything flying, or you could have broke the hitch ball off and made an impromptu canon.

    when there were two trucks set up (one as an anchor and Jake's winching) the truck that was being used as an anchor, is the proper way is to have it in Park with the hand brake activated?

    Proper at all times possible is neutral with your foot on the brake. Next best would be neutral with parking brake. You dont want to put that load on your tranny.

    If the parking brake is engaged or the driver is on the foot brake you are fine to leave the tranny in park. The transmission pin will not get "loaded" in this scenario.

    You could have done that too. Maxtrax are best when you are by yourself or in a situation where where you cannot hook up a strap.

    In other questions why didn't you buy an aftermarket bumper with space for a winch?

    so some spots on the top had some gnarly dips....does the maxtrax flex enough where it would have not snapped in half?
