Hint: You won't find this redneck-fab on a street vehicle.

Looks like an improvised fix on the trail so your rig can limp its way back to camp, after some carnage on a mean ol' rock.

Sorry, Hirv, the only time I look under my car is when I'm trying to find my dropped keys or chase a critter out from under :)

You busted a motor mount and it's to keep the motor from flopping around.

LOL! You are on the right track, Frank. Not a fix for a break though... Think suspension travel and that horrible tippy feeling going up an eight-foot waterfall...

Yikes!! Waterfalls are fun! "The pucker meter is pegged!!" ;;D (Chains are dangerous, though. Be careful using them on the trail! Ditto for those horrid tow straps with steel hooks at the ends!)

See, I knew you'd catch on...

There's too much travel in the suspension in the front going over the big stuff... This limits the travel and is adjustable.

How about a look at the outside?

Tow straps with hooks are evil.

Damn! That thing is BAD ASS!!

Last summer, a wheeler in one of our local clubs lost his life when the hook on a towstrap sprang loose and came back through the windshield. I doubt if he felt a thing, it happened so fast....  :'(

Yep. You aren't allowed to ride in our club if you have the straps with metal hooks.

Ditto. No hooks. I stand well clear when people are winching, too. Dangerous stuff.

When are you going with beadlocks?

Back in the days of real muscle cars, I saw a few engines chained down.  You could almost see the cars' frames twisting when the engines revved up.  I've seen a normal drive shaft twisted into a candy cane by a monster engine.
