    Ah ha! I was trying to figure out how the hell you do that out in the sand. Makes sense. Did you hook the strap up to the driver's side corner of the bumper or did it slide out there when he pulled?

    The bumpers may bend, but that's not a bad thing Landon. It's good to still have a crumple zone on a non caged and even a caged truck.

    yeah. i stopped on the top of a dune and didnt realize my wheel wasnt straight so when i straightened it, the front tires kinda dug into the sand. my buddy couldnt get behind me so pullled up the dune and just tried pulling me down and yeahhh.. didnt work out as we though hahaha.

    after that happened, we were able to push it out :rofl:

    From just the force of being pulled out? That's bad no matter what. I get engineered weak points but not this bad.

    100% possible to tow from a tube bumper/tire carrier if it's properly integrated into the frame and has strength built into the right areas.

    this one has towed a 6500lb boat thousands of miles

    Bryan and I started 18th off the line and we finished 5th. The race course turned into a junk yard after the 1st lap.
