Ok so I'm looking at getting acouple of good quality recovery straps and I'm simply overwhelmed by the number of brands and prices. I'm not looking to buy more of that crap they sell at Shucks (Keeper I belive). It works but only for a few tows before it breaks.

I want to spend the money on a good one that I know won't break when I really need it.

So what are some good brands? I know ARB is always a good choice, but I would rather get at least one in a 30 foot length.

Any places I can get a good price on acouple of choker chains too? I found 2 websites, one wanted $90 and the other wanted $110 that seemed a bit steep to me for 10 feet of chain and acouple of hooks. I mean I could go to home depot and make some for less than that.... heh. And I just might.

Thoughts?

I just realized I put "strab" and not strap heh.

Apparently, the ARB one isn't all that great ...

I use a ProComp, but it's probably not much better than the ARB. The Wheelers Offroad ones look nice.

As for chain, I got grade 70 transport chain with hooks at Tractor Supply. I think 16' was $50 maybe (?)

 

What makes these good? I've never seen this brand before.

 

I dunno, I got a recovery strap from home depot for like 25 bucks, 20 feet long. it pulled out a fullsize lifted late 70 bronco with 3 people in it with my t100..I think its good.

 

I have a 4"x30' ProComp that i bought from 4wheelparts for like $100. So far its all good. I dont want to do this again with a chain. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...-hitch-108008/

 

I bought this a couple days ago for $29. I've got 2 of their 5000 lb. straps too. Good stuff, will definetly do what it's rated for. I got chains for whatever this can't handle.

 

You want at least a 2" wide strap with a high strength rating...the name brand is like buying a tooth brush...you pay more for fluff.

 

Wow I guess not. Crazy.

Too bad they don't have any from here in the states. Still informative though.

 

Well, I read this and was sold. Course I already bought a different one.

 

I cant remember the name of mine but its SWEET! 2inch wide and 25feet long with no hooks. you weave it back through and it holds! I watched a friend in his S/c taco rip a tahoe out of 3 feet of snow....when i say rip i mean he was at the top of 1st in 4wheel pinned and the tahoe came up(front tires in the air) and out of the snow drift! no slipping or brakeage and it wont smash a window i already tried it out on a parts car.

 

ARB has some new ones out now, saw the ad in the new 4WD Toyota Owner magazine.

i just got a no-name 2" x 30' one at my local 4wp and it has worked perfectly every time i've needed it. if you get wider than 2", its a bonus if the loops on the end are folded over to make them skinnier (yet just as strong) so you can stuff it in your trailer hitch receiver with a pin and use that as a recovery point.
