That was a part of my decision process too. This winter, and when we are heading out on a trail, I keep a few things in the Jeep, Viair 300P, tire patch kit, first aid, a cooler, blanket, gloves. The Weekender kit and a couple soft shackles now ride along without taking up much room.

Should add, I’ll pick up a 30’ recovery rope probably by spring.

Ordered the ARB Weekender strap kit with shackles. Also got an ARB soft shackle coming. Nothing wrong with the Bubba, Yankum, Vulcan products that I looked at, but I am older and when I got started off-reading ARB was THE company. Hard to not look at them.

Not too many beaches in the mountains of Tennessee, but I have drug fallen trees (and cut them too) off trails. My chain has been with me 30 or 35 years now and isn’t going anywhere soon. But, I have to be prepared to help out…that is part of living in a small rural community. And the man I...

Thank you for the comment. I believe you are correct for my uses. And I think the ARB Weekender kit with a 30’ 17,600# strap, two D-shackles and a bag fit well with that. I’ll add a soft shackle or two and still be right around the price of a 30’ rope from Bubba or similar.

Excellent idea. Any input on my questions?

I have a 2021 Wrangler Rubicon, and I am slowly adding some bits of recovery gear. I needed to pull a man out of a slight snow bank today, and all I had to use was an old 20’ logging chain. Very simple, just needed a very minor tug, and he was out. But it made me decide I need to order a...

And I think I saw it is an additional $10,000 on top of the base price. Yikes. I’d probably stick with the base model 300 mile range. Or spend the same $10k on other options More likely. Unless I won the lottery, in which case I’d max that sucker out! And to the OP, sorry for the thread...

I think the Rivian R1T looks great, been watching them since they were first announced. If I were to be in the market for an electric vehicle, it would likely be my first choice. Unless I could get a 4xe Gladiator probably. The thing is, there is no infrastructure in rural Tennessee, and I...

I’ve been looking on EBay and the ones I’ve seen don’t show a jack handle. I’ll keep digging.

You folks that are using a Toyota Bottle Jack, what are you using to actually crank it with? I don’t (will not) own a Toyota vehicle again (I know, but personal experience with three of them is different than many folks have had). So what are you using to turn that ring thingie? I like the...

I’d like to find a Chiappa Double Badger in .22 Mag/.410.

I was going to say I prefer the barn door like my Land Rover. I wouldn't run out and trade my JLU Rubicon for one, but next time I traded this would be on my short list along with a Gladiator Mojave.

I like this, but with the third row of seats removed. Would be a very nice combination of my old LR Disco (see profile pic) and my new JL Rubicon Unlimited. Wonder how serious Jeep is about production of this model? The trails we actually negotiate or plan to be on would all be fine with a...

makes perfect sense. Thanks!

Back in the Jeep world after a few years in the figurative desert. Learning about the tools I need to keep Willy running well. And tire kits are at the top of my list right now. I have an old Safety Seal kit, need new “strings” but have all the tools in it. Haven’t figured out what this tool...

I grabbed a bottle of Back in Black, great songs. Oh, wait…

@EcoBoosted Unfortunately, time is something I have very little of. I may try to get it de-bugged and washed, then stick it in the garage for a few days. I have other things to drive, so it isn’t too bad. Over a week I may be able to try the clay bar stuff that I understand you are supposed...

I picked up some Back To Black today, and a couple new microfiber towels. Also researching the ceramic coatings. EcoBoosted mentioned McKees 37, I’m looking into that. The local ceramic guy has left the business, so it will have to be DIY.
