Front Range 4x4 is a group of folks who live at the Front Range of Colorado who get together to travel area trails. We enjoy the grand scenery of the area and the solid social friendship of each other. It is this local, "get together as friends" aspect that ties with living here.

Recovery Shackles - Destructive Testing (Metallic & Synthetic)

So you want to see a metallic D-Ring / Shackle fail - AND you want to see the new synthetic soft shackles fail.

They do two synthetic runs - one with it against a sharp edge and one with rounded edge supports.
