why tow points are important....

Lady_Luck · 02-16-2009, 09:07 AM

So- just for everyones entertainment, i'm going to post pics of exactly why tow points are important... not that i dodn't know, but until sat night, i've never had a problem....please feel free to

at anytime... i'm a dip****, but it was still fun as hell!

...and yes...the tow rope is going through my back doors... i know...i figured that would be better then a broken axle or shock mount...

ummm, what are we pulling from? a strap around the whole car?

Creative "tow point".

It gave me a good laugh.

You sir, are no boy scout.

^hell yeah - i washed it twice! - first time i only used 8$ just to get the mud out of the engine, undercarraige, and my brakes - my ABS light came on once i was high centered.... and then yesterday i spent another 10$ getting rid of the rest of it - ridiculous.... i HATE mud

no worries

- it actually did some minor damage nothing thats not fixable though - all i've gotta do is fix the seal on my door to match the new, slightly different shape of the door

those mouldings can be expensive. lady luck wasn't something we took as meaning a lady... sorry about that, most of us are guys and we get in habbits. good looking jeep. hope no one was being beheaded in the back seat while you were being pulled..

been watching too much hanibal lateley.

its all good

- thank you - i've only had her for a few months now - so many plans and such little funds...it will be a slow project for sure, but i'm excited...i'm making her into more of an expedition rig though - not so much mudding, rock crawling **** - too much for me....but she has proven herself to be faithful every time i take her out...i've got a serious attachment...

Why did you chose to recover it that way? This is the second time I have seen that in the past month, it is a terrible idea.

**walter_da_jpr** · 02-16-2009, 09:54 AM

sweet mudding tires.

Lady_Luck · 02-16-2009, 09:59 AM

^i know it's a terrible idea - but i don't have any tow points - and i'd rather pull from here than risk breaking an axle or my shock mounts - those were kind of my only other options at the time. i figured if worse comes to worse, i would have to replace two windows and repair some of the body, but fortunately all i need to do is adjust the moulding a little bit

**ajmorell** · 02-16-2009, 10:04 AM

I'm not sure on the reasoning behind that either. I would have hooked the strap around the axle near a CA mount before I did something like that.
