Thanks I know the lashing points would be fine but since it's a Mazda 3 I did not want to put that much strain on the parking break or gearbox. If I had someone to sit in it and hold the brakes with it in neutral I probably would have used it. But my driveway is about a 10' incline and the Rover is around 5,000lbs that's a lot of strain on a little gear box.
But no worries I got it spooled. I just used one of the trees in my side yard it's only about a 5' incline but I also lightly set the parking break and it seemed to give it decent resistance.
I really like the way this stuff handles but it still baffles me how something that looks and feels so light can be so strong.
