Okay, Monday morning quarterbacks... Bruce Elfstrom says it's okay, and that's good enough for me... In this recovery I initially positioned my vehicle to where I could attempt a single-line pull, with as much rope off the spool as possible - for maximum pulling power. You can't really tell...

Love it!

I was already using my tree strap to anchor my Tacoma to another Tacoma. Otherwise, I would have just winched myself to the Ford...

Don't do it.

Today my FJ62 threw a Check Engine Light. It's never thrown one before... I looked at the FSM and got the procedure for checking the codes. I just went and read the codes: Codes: 25: - Air Fuel Ratio Lean Malfunction 26: - Air Fuel Ratio Rich Malfunction So - To me, this sounds like it's...

So this was the answer I came up with: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most of the straps found at a farm store are TOW STRAPS, not designed for recovery, or rated for the forces at work during recovery...

Here's my FJ62 with full OME Lift, and 33" x 11.2" Toyo Open Country A/T's:

I'm running 17" x 8" Toyota Sequoia alloy wheels. The tires I'm running are: TOYO Open Country A/T's Size: 285/70/17 (32.7" x 11.2") More pics here: http://www.ttora.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1796368&postcount=48

I sold a set of wheels before, and shipping was $70 for the Continental US.

Is there a write-up or detailed explaination about why you should spend the extra few bucks to get a good recovery strap? ...as in the answer to "Why should I buy an ARB recovery strap? Any yellow nylon strap from Farm & Fleet is just as good". At Overland ExPo, both Thor from Viking Off-Road...

Honestly - this would probably make a good Bug-Out bag / survival kit item. ...of course - I say that having never seen this thing in person...

I can tell you from experience that there is a definite need for both. True winch rope extensions, and a winching straps each have their place in your recovery kit. I was recently involved in a recovery that called for the simultaneous use of both: Notice the winch rope extension going...

These are the wheels that came on my LandCruiser. I put new wheels on the cruiser and want to get rid of these. I know a lot of guys like this style of wheel. I think these are American Racing Outlaw II wheels, however I can not guarantee that they are, in fact, AR wheels... They are size 15 x...

8,000 or 9,000 will be the best for a Tacoma. I like Superwinch and Warn (in that order). Viking Off-Road has GREAT package deals available. EP9.0 Winch + Synthetic Line + Safety Thimble: $828 http://winchline.com/winch.htm

All-in-all, not too bad of a job. It was a little bit of a pain getting the tank back in place by myself - and it has to be positioned PERFECTLY to get the belly bands back on... But once that was done, the rest was pretty easy. Definitely not worth paying a shop $650 to do it! But anyway - I...

That place looks like the place where Wyatt Earp shot it out with Curly Bill in Tombstone!
