Tried to pull out my friend old TJ from a mud hole in a hurry, his truck was sinking and water started leaking in.
Had to use my winch in a bypass road to get myself in front of him and to move a disabled truck who was blocking the road.
So I decided to use the kinetic rope on his jeep, fearing of running down my stock battery/overheating the winch.
No hook or anything on his frame, so we looped a flimsy tow strap around his front bumper to the kinetic rope. Yeah I know, stupid.
Gave a good pull with the 4runner quickly followed by what sounded like a shotgun shot.
The tow strap snapped and the kinetic rope smashed my tailgate.
4h later, still angry at myself. 100% my fault, can't believe I did a stupid mistake like this.
With all the informative video I've watch about how to do it safely...
Maybe it was the stress, i don't know but still, no offroading for me for a while.
It could have been alot worst, nobody hurt.
