I went and bought a different tow strap at Home Depot yesterday. But it's only like 7,000lb load.

What specs do you guys have? Footage, thickness, width, streangth?

I want to get a good one, but I'm seeing some for like $80!!

Find an auto parts store. They sell 2" 20,000 lb straps for $25ish and 3" 30,000lb ones for $35ish. Walmart has them, too.

The only ones I saw at wal-mart had hooks on them.

I have the one from home depot also (Keeper) It is rated for a 7000# vehicle, with a breaking strength of 15,000#. You wont pull a tractor trailer but it will be more than enough for the X.
