OK, well I have now got a winch on my truck and I want to start getting good recovery gear to compliment it.
The winch is slightly undersized to what I would ideally like (8k for a new gen tacoma) however, I feel I can remedy any heavy pulls wth a double line pull, so I will eventually need a snatch block. Unfortunalty I am on a budget now as I just spent a lot of money on the truck..haha, so i want to get some basics now and slowly add more.
Here is what I am thinking:
At lease 2 shackles on my front bumper (looking at the black rat 4.7 ton)
1 tow strap (can be used to tow, tree saver, or also as a winch line extension correct?)
I think this will get me out of most situations, as I can do a single line pull and also tow with the strap or pull someone out.
I will then work on getting the snatch block and a LOT more stuff.
Does this sound like a good start to people? Also, I am looking at the ARB strap, however, I see Viking has ropes instead...what is the advantage/disadvatage of straps versus ropes?
