It sounds like you were using one rope?

That's the problem. wink I prefer straps myself, becuase I don't own a rig beefy enough to need chains, but always run with two of them. You are less likely to have things like this happen.

And having two 18' lengths of four ton test strapping in the car is a lot more useful than one 12' rope. smile
