Obscene Orange Jowl Shackle Tool-Free Off-Road Recovery
At Moose Knuckle Offroad, we’re excited to introduce our latest product: the Jowl™ Recovery Split Shackle™ 3/4 in Obscene Orange. We built this premium recovery tool to revolutionize how off‑roaders connect tow straps and ropes quickly, safely, and without needing tools. Whether you’re deep in the backcountry or navigating a tight trail, this shackle offers the kind of performance, durability, and convenience that real-world off-roaders demand. Its bold Obscene Orange finish doesn’t just add trail-ready style it also improves visibility during recovery situations. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about this standout piece of recovery gear.
Product Information
The Jowl Recovery Split Shackle (3/4″ size) in Obscene Orange is a patent‑pending, tool‑less split “J” style recovery shackle made from forged chromoly steel with a durable powder‑coated finish. It features a black nickel‑plated Grade 8 carbon‑steel pin that resists corrosion and stands up to extreme trail abuse.
Engineered with a 10,000 lb working load limit (WLL) and a 5:1 safety factor, this shackle is rated for serious recovery situations, offering a 50,000 lb minimum breaking strength. The unique split design allows for easy, tool-free connection of rope or strap loops with no need to remove the shackle from its mount.
Unlike traditional D-ring or bow shackles that require full removal to attach gear, the Jowl’s open-side hook configuration enables quicker and safer recovery setups. Its vibrant Obscene Orange coating enhances visibility during recovery operations, especially in low-light or muddy conditions, while adding a custom touch to your rig’s appearance. This shackle is not only functional it’s built to look as tough as it performs.
Designed for Faster, Smarter, and Safer Recoveries
We created the Jowl Split Shackle with one clear goal in mind: to make off-road recovery faster, safer, and more convenient. Traditional shackles often require full removal to attach a strap or rope, costing you time and adding frustration especially in muddy, cold, or low-visibility conditions. With the Jowl’s innovative split “J” design, that’s no longer a concern.
You can make rope or strap connections without removing your shackle from your bumper, hitch, or recovery point. That means less fumbling, quicker hook-ups, and fewer tools needed in the field. Simply open the hooked side, insert your looped recovery strap or rope, rotate the end to lock both sides together, and pull snug. The connection is secure and ready for action within seconds.
What makes this design even more effective is the inclusion of integrated pull-angle stops, a simple yet powerful feature that gives you visual feedback and added control over your recovery setup. These stops help maintain a safe and optimal angle during pulls, minimizing stress on your gear and reducing the chance of side-loading or hardware failure.
Whether you're dealing with sand, snow, or rocks, the Jowl Recovery Shackle streamlines the entire recovery process, helping you get back on the trail with minimal hassle and maximum safety.
