Just a quick cautionary comment... you may want to attach a strap to both hooks to reduce the stress on the hooks. Past members have seen them bend.
Also, if you can only attach to one hook, you may want to attach to the opposite one from the side you're pulling from, the hooks only have a very small lip to keep the straps from flinging off the end.

This had been discussed. At the time the strap was originally placed, this was the best approach. In the picture you can see it is an idea in action. But thank you for the info, better to be safe then sorry.

Hey VMManiacX...
Thanks for posting here. We really don't have a problem with Jeepers...
I've rolled with full sized trucks and Jeeps as well... a lot of times they don't even realize we have a solid rear axle. By the end of the day we have a good time and maybe they're a little surprised by what a TB can do. Who cares. We're all doing this for the same reason right?
Anyway, I enjoyed the extra pics you posted of the Jeeps and the TB... you're welcome here.

Thanks guys for the ..warm welcome? 
It's a WJ, the ZJ was 98 and older grands. I'm running 4.10 gears.. kinda sucks.lol
And guys, like has been said before, we are all out to have a good time. Lets not get into " whos rig is better". It's just not worth it.

Definitely digging the WJ... the only vehicle I'd replace the TB with if I was to do it. Last generation for the solid front axle and the Overland edition with the High-output 4.7... Sexy!
...I love my TB though

My sister married Josh McCartney out of Point Pleasant, WV. He is in the Navy, and right now stationed on the NE seaboard.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
