Ready to venture out of the neighborhood with my truck and want to make contingency plans in case "Murphy" decides to visit. Should one require a tow to get home, how does that work - I don't see where to attach the hook for loading on to a flat bed. (full fenders and running boards)

Mike, I carry two 6' long 1" wide nylon slings made for lifting loads. I can choke them on the LCA near where they attach to the frame. The tow driver can hook his winch cable to both so they look like an isosceles triangle. If your fenders are in the way you may be able to use a similar method but attach near the spindle end of the LCA.

Thanks. NAZ, good info; in the photo, I can just see the LCAs under the fender; so that should work, maybe add a spreader to keep the straps outboard
