Questions & Answers
You're more likely to break a truck than a rope.
Made in the United States of America
Working load limits are usually not stated on stretch recovery ropes; instead, breaking strength is stated. You can estimate the rope size required by multiplying the weight of the stuck vehicle by four. The 7/8" should be sufficient for a 7,000-pound truck (with a breaking strength of 28,600 pounds). Two years ago, I used my 7/8" x 20 to pull a UPS truck out of a snowdrift. I didn't want to use my Bubba rope, but I did manage to break two large chains. It was no problem for the Bubba rope to rip it out. It's been used a few times since then and it's still going strong!
Sure. The rope is rated for 28k pounds, as I recall. My Dodge Power Wagon is where I keep mine. I chose 7/8 because it not only pulls me out, but it usually pulls someone else out as well. Sure, having a 1 1/2 or 2 inch rope on my truck looks great, but it all comes down to the storage issue. The bag is mesh, so it can be crushed or conformed to the size of the rope, depending on how much space you have.

It was a huge success! Snow on the ground on a spring day in the mountains, and a Toyota FJ stuck in the snow on the trail. FJ was slightly downhill and in deeper snow when I used a 30' and 10' extension, but 40' put me on better ground. It worked perfectly with no hard jerks required, only a gentle tug to get it moving. Even though the snow was wet, the Bubba rope felt dry after use. A Bubba Rope and some gator jaws did the trick nicely. I've tried other kinetic recovery systems before, but they didn't seem to measure up to the Bubba Rope in terms of quality. These aren't cheap, but in this case, I believe you get what you pay for. The final of three pulls to reach solid ground are shown in this video.
br>br>Bubbarope specifies that their rope lengths are measured fully stretched in their fine print. Nonetheless, I feel duped. br>br>Next time, I think I'll get a Yankum rope with a natural length that's very close to the advertised value.
The rope is excellent, one of only two I feel confident in (the other being Yankum). A Jeep would be ideal in this size. It measures 7/8" in diameter, so be ready. This is a considerable length of rope. I was taken aback by its size. Also, instead of the Cammo bag shown in the picture, mine came with a black mesh bag. It's sturdy, and it's emblazoned with the American flag. It appeals to my tastes. Just not in the way I had hoped. When these ropes are brand new, they have a strong chemical odor. Before stowing them in your rig, give them a good airing. It takes about a week to get rid of the odor after hanging it up.
This is a fantastic rope that gets the job done. It has a strong odor at first, so I took my rope outside on a cool day and left it out in the sun. After that, the odor had vanished.
With my Tacoma, I was able to pull a dually UPS truck out of a ditch off a farm gravel road. Rope is excellent because it absorbs shock and facilitates recovery. I also use a smaller Bubba Rope on the beach to pull a Dory away from the water. So far, these ropes have performed admirably; I highly recommend them. When pulling, just make sure they don't rub against anything.
I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but I did compare it to a $100 rope and found it to be incomparable. It was money well spent for an extra $100.
I'm a big fan of the rope and the accompanying bag. I attempted to transport it in my Jeep, but the odor was too strong. In a few weeks, I expect the odor to go away. Until then, it's on display in my garage. I must have grabbed a rope right off the production line.
I've drew a lot of my friends. This is an incredible rope. Many of my friends' trucks have been rescued from deep mud and low ditches by me. It works in the same way as a slingshot. It'll slingshot the other truck out of any hole once you've pulled it hard enough. The strange thing was that I didn't even notice anything was wrong in my truck. Nothing happened at first, according to my friends, and then BAM! They were launched straight out of the dirt! As long as the hoops are placed in very secure areas of both vehicles, you'll be fine.
