Default how to attatch winch line to stinger bar

How do I go about properly attaching my synthetic winch line to the stinger bar??? I don't have any sort of hook point on the bar to attach to, is there something y'all recommend or know of? Pictures are helpful. Thanks!!

I've been wondering the same thing, then thought of this.

Take two equal lengths of limiting straps. Fold them over the stinger, one on each side. Where the two holes line up, put your hook through that.

Since the stinger widens toward the bottom, the limiting straps will not go down. I dunno, just a thought.

Why do you want to attach it to the stinger? Attach the hook to the d-ring and pull it tight or swap the hook for a Prolink.

Exactly. Or something a little more cost effective than 2 limiting straps...

I went to an auto store and grabbed a tie down strap and used a shackle.

Because if their is mud and you are trying to grab your hook and its in mud where there ia a chance it can be out of mud or a rock because its up higher. Its helpful

If your D-rings are in the mud, then your winch is probably in mud too. You're going to get muddy regardless..
