So does anyone think it would be ‘possible’ to use the front toe /rear recovery hooks for scotch blocks for winching/recovery?
or are you just going to bend the frame?

Blocks/braces you chock your wheels with, prior to hydraulic rams on tow trucks they were usedWhat is a "scotch block"? do you mean snatch block?
Not snatch, scotchUnless you were using a remote mounted winch, why would you attach the snatch block to one of the vehicle recovery attachments? Wouldn’t the snatch block go on the “dead man” away from the vehicle/winch?
You could always use a bridle between two recovery points with the snatch block attached to the bridle if using a remote winch.
Thanks! No you didn’t need to anchor them to the veh to dig?I use metal spiked wheel chocks for winching on snow/icy pavement up here, similar concept, minus the attachment point.
Can't see how the load would be too much for a recovery point since even on a hard pull, the load on the point from the scotch would never be 100%
I learn something new everyday on this site. I know that “traction boards” were useless for me in the sand. I’m going off to research more on these scotch blocks.Blocks/braces you chock your wheels with, prior to hydraulic rams on tow trucks they were used
I’ve used various objects in the past as suck on a deuce and 5 ton and m715
Just curious for those of you more familiar with this platform
you anchor them to the tow points and the truck digs instead of slides
