RE: Tranny to transfer case seal...?

Recovery off of a tailer hitch ball is a huge NO NO. I don't care if the president of the U.S. offroad association says it is ok, it is not!
The chances of one of the vehicles jarring the strap off of the ball is too great to justify it as being safe.
This is about as intelligent as using a tow strap with metal hooks, or winching with out a method of absorbing line tension.

If a vehicle is not equipt with proper recovery points, one of two methods can be utilized, a choke chain double wrapped around an axle or the tow strap around the shackle.
