Man o man...only 4 more days! I just ordered a CB and it should be delivered by Wednesday.

I need to run by Northern Tool and get some recovery gear. Could anyone chime and let me know what to get...strap, shakles, etc? Thanks!

I carry 3-20ft straps, 2-8ft tree straps,10ft of chain, 6 shackles, highlift, sandladders, snatchblock and winch.
I tend to carry a little bit of overkill

Naw, not at all...not to mention your air compressor, full tool kit, M-PAC complete system, etc, etc, etc. Or I could not buy any recovery gear and stick close to you on the trail!

My remaining piece of recovery gear is a HighLift jack (and a winch, but no place to mount one, not with a stock front bumper).

I'll probably stop by 4WheelParts on the way home and buy one. They're the same price locally and online, and the tax would be less than shipping anyhow...

T - 4 days!

You probably already know, but don't get the straps with the hooks on them.

UPS just dropped off my new rims
