Yep, figure you can't have enough. I don't have a winch yet but am looking for a couple of snatch blocks and maybe 50-60 feet of cable. did an angled recovery yesterday usings the straps, it worked but a cable would have worked better...

as for the scuba gear, that is for the guy with the 31's..


Hope you all have a good time...

You forgot a snatch block, winch, & a full size aggressive tire, basic yota tools, gear/motor oil, coolant, brake fluid, spare birfields, spare hubs, spare hub gears, spare knuckles, spare knuckle studds, spare 3rds, spare rad hoses, & spare u-joints

I thought that tank was a power tank for filling tires but now I am thinking its scuba gear!

Well Al you have a winch now so If you need to recover me you can use all my shackles & snatches. since my winch will most likely be under water

Well, that's my excuse for not being able to go: because the DON can't go!!

WHERE? LOL

Listing his gear from right to left top to bottom

hilift
2- chokers
cum-a-long
3" strechy strap
4- 3/4 shackles
1- 1" shackles
1- recever shackle mount w/ 3/4 shackle
2" strechy strap
shovel

This is what a snatch block looks like you should have one if you have a winch otherwise your winch could prove useless in most pulls

If you had a tree saver you could hook it to that and it would to the exact same thing as a snatch block
