Good question. In my opinion for most application on the FJ Cruiser weight or lighter vehicles the 17,600# capacity would be good. Things to take in consideration are the types of recoveries you'll be doing. If you're one of the guys that likes playing in the mud, sand or any type of terrain where you could really bury the vehicle you would probably want to bump up to the 24,000 pound strap. Keep in mind the straps are designed to stretch and this aids in recovery. Too heavy a strap and you would loose this stretch. Where we offroad we use our straps for basically light pulls and extractions. For any bad stuck or extraction you're probably better off going to a winch, because it's easier on the vehicles and more controllable.
This is my opinion, for more detailed explanation of strap safety and applications you may want to consult the manufacturors directly.
Any word yet on the new stuff? I want to grab onto this deal...before all the snow melts! Oh...wait a minute...the mountains got another 13 inches last night....I guess I won't be wheeling in Northern Utah for a little while longer!
Please keep me updated on the new stuff. Can I get put on your email list?
Thanks!
Bob

We're in the process of updating the ad. On the #1 kit the price is going down to $262.99 delivered conus. WITH the new style tree saver and HD strap, plus we're upgrading the snatch block to the new "9000"
As soon as this stuff hits our dock I'll be posting up that it's available.
BTW I found another ARB201 strap in the warehouse, so if anyone's interested shoot us a PM.
