Stuck? This diameter size is best utilized in anything from Jeeps to 1/2 ton pickup trucks to large SUV's. It’s built to stretch and perform. This is the diameter rope used by Matt of Matt's Off Road Recovery for the banana and can be seen in use throughout all of Youtube.

We use our “Code Red” Polymeric coating to protect against UV, water and abrasion as well as dip the eyes in a thick, protective rubber coating to ensure extended life where it matters most. Yankum Ropes™ are not towing ropes, they are designed for recovery.

FAQ
MATCH YOUR ROPE TO YOUR RIG
Every Yankum Rope is engineered to stretch just the right amount—but only when used with the right vehicle. Each rope diameter is built for a specific pulling weight range. For example, our 1" rope is tuned perfectly for a 1-ton pickup. That’s how you get a smooth, powerful kinetic pull.
Using too small of a vehicle with too big a rope? It won’t stretch, and you’ll lose the kinetic energy that makes these ropes work. Use too big of a rig with too small of a rope? You’ll overstretch it—or worse, snap it.
Size matters.It’s not about the stuck vehicle. It’s about the one doing the pulling.
7/8" Is Best Suited for
- 2 Door Jeeps
- Small-Med SUV's
- Subarus
- Grocery Getter
Why Kinetic Ropes
Straps and chains were not engineered for recoveries. Yankum Ropes™, however can stretch up to 30% longer when being used. This allows you to get a running start during a recovery, which couples momentum and mass to free the stuck vehicle. Without a Yankum Rope™ you rely solely on mass and traction, which often times, both are limited.
All WORK and all PLAY
Is it an adventure if you are constantly worried you are going to get stuck? Of course not! A Yankum Rope™ on-board ensures peace of mind and max fun for any trip!
