Re: Recovery Gear

We have been using the "bubba rope" for a few years now.  They are superior even to a good nylon strap.  Really soft pull and great kinetic bounce back. This allows you to pull out huge, heavy rigs with your relatively light weight Toyota.

It seems like most things I have read are that you eventually want a 'normal' snatch strap having little to no stretch.  And also an actual kinetic snatch rope.

Id rather just have one.  Is there much of an issue using a kinetic snatch rope in a 'pulling' only recovery?  You know I can just drive them out without needing to 'yank' them.  Or is that bad/harmful/dumb to use a kinetic rope that way.

I believe in the right tool for the job, but if one tool can do both things id rather have that one tool, ya know.

Opinions?

So far it seems like im gonna get 2-4 Shackles, a strap/rope, tree saver and a block at.  Does that seem adequate to everybody?


If I don't ask the stupid question, who will?

85 Runner, 22RE, AEM 'warm intake', TRD Cam, LC Headers, Dual Case, 5.29's, ARB Front Locker, Detroit Rear Locker, 35's, V6 Brakes, ARP Studs, Marlin Arms/Caps/Hy-Steer, Winch, Armor, Can-Back Top....and...

...more Gremlins than Gizmo the Mogwai was responsible for.
