BogMonster Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I use offcuts of old 2 inch fabric-reinforced fire hose for tow ropes, tough as old boots, you can hook it over a normal Defender front bumper (the type with the sharp bits on the back that normally B&gger up any rope first time you do this) and it won't bother the rope at all. Much better than any of the "proper" ones I have seen, the bits on my main tow rope are still in good nick even though the rest of the rope is probably due for retirement, in fact I was thinking of cutting the eyes to get it off so I could re-use it. Available from your local fire station for a remarkably free price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
