We weren't using a rope, it was a 4" strap that the crane operator had. I thought he said that it was rated for 50,000 lbs, I could be wrong, but I thought thats what he was telling Dave (my buddy who is building the house). All that I had with me was 2- 3/8"X16' chains, and there was not way that I was going to try and use them, since I like my tailgate and back window right where they are.

I am not sure, I didn't look for any yet. Hopefully there aren't any, but if there are some, maybe this is a good excuse to get the ghost flames that I have wanted on a vehicle for quite a few years......
