Here's something from CT4WD.com
Here's a little bit of information regarding Recovery Straps as it is one of the most common piece of recovery gear on the trail besides a Bow Shackle.
A recovery strap is made to have elongation built into it. This is the amount of stretch that is allowed to...
Yes it's custom. A fellow here in town uses CAD to design it then fabricates it by hand to the design. I used the Expedition One Tundra as a concept and went from there.
He does really nice work.
No where near expedition worthy but...

The ARB is heavier
The ARB used a heavier nylon which is somewhat rubberized on the inside
All seams are taped on the ARB
ARB's hardware is really all over the place with bolts that are...
It's an issue up here in Canada as well. We have quite a few motorized backcountry users which don't adhere to the Tread Lightly! principals or just use proper backcountry ethics especially on the OHV trails. We've been working hard at changing the mentality and the stereotypes which are...
There's gotta be a better term for this type of vehicle. It's not expedition in the old school sense. All-rounder doesn't quite fit right and nor does all-terrain.
