Nice! but IMHO, you’ll still need to have a damper for safety (even if the winch is only for “justincase”).

I see a lot of cosmetic “shackles” on some aftermarket bull bars & bumpers. Porma lang (We’re talking “RICE” here), but little actual use since hindi sila recovery points that can take the strain. They will either pull off, pull off the bull bar/bumper or worse, become deadly missiles.

--> Tow cables in use are under a tremendous amount of strain (thousands of pounds of force). If it snaps, or pulls off whatever its anchored to, that energy is released with catapult like force. Kahit malatigo ka lang ng cable…
