dont!!!!!!!!!!!!! put a shakel on the short ish strap if the short ish strap snaps its then becomes a flying shakel not safe and if it hits you it could kill you if it hits the car it will dammage it
how i do it is i put the the short strap through the eye on the long strap the connect it to the car only ataching the short strap so that it forms a Y
ive seen loads of people join 2 straps with a shakel and if they snap be miles away

As for that recovery point...well it wont get my money
cooper956:
the one in the link looks poxy would probly do for st8 line pulls but the sliteist sideways pull and it would bend if fitting to the towball mounting use a pin hitch. would probly be cheaper too
lambert:
also be aware that a bridle between two jate rings can, if too much force is, used pull the rings together bending the chassis, a friend found this to his cost and now uses two strops of equal length joined to a steel frame to act as a spreader bar, like used when lifting.
