we had a winter storm here in the midwest that hit pretty hard. initially, it was 1-3" but by morning it is going to be 6-10" around the Kansas City metro area. The Titan rocks in the snow but i kinda felt bad for everyone else as i was blasting past their stuck vehicles. I'll be purchasing a receiver hitch shackle and a 30,000 lb recovery strap in the next few days to use for the rest of the winter.

My question is... where is the safest place to attach the recovery strap to pull out a stuck vehicles (that don't have tow hooks)? i want to help out the people that i see stuck but i don't want to damage their vehicles. are you supposed to attach it around the axle? i've also read that the owner of the tow vehicle actually have the person with the stuck vehicle physically put the recovery strap around the axle themselves to eliminate any liability to the person pulling the stuck vehicle. Can you guys point me in the right direction?
