Soft shackles don't work on all attachment points due to sharp radius. That doesn't make stupid shit like split shackles or people leaving them attached all the time like jewelry good ideas.
Split D-Ring Shackles, Opinions?

Soft shackles have worked fine on many many pulls on my bumpers where all I did was take the sharp edge off the tab openings. That does not mean that the opening should not be rounded as they are on my new front bumper. Considering that soft shackles are a technically consumable item, I will still choose that connection over a steel shackle whenever I can. That being said, I have seen no indication that I should retire any of mine, despite not being all that careful in how I use them.
Correctly, a D ring is a one "piece" ring in a D shape. What happens to it after that doesn't change what it is.Personally, I'd call that a d-ring. Every race transporter I've been in has the one I posted earlier in it (or a recessed version), and we called them d-rings. That looks very similar. I sent the pic to my neighbor. His response, "Those are shackles, stupid neighbor."Again - I'm so confused!
Yeah, and I'll bet there's a cotter pin missing in that photo. The US military airlifting an HMMWV over anything it doesn't want smushed would certainly warrant it.
Saw this today and thought of this thread.
I like the pinless shackle hanging on the middle of the chain. I wonder if it was supposed to go to the hitch when it doesn’t have the ball in it?
One chain, three shackles. A Mississippi version of two girls, one cup.
On further inspection I think there are more than 3 shackles.
Yeah but look how hardcore it looks. Chains, bro.
when I see those kind of chains hanging on a jeep (always a JK) I always think the guy driving them are like this...
