Recovery gear kits. was created by Andy2640
Any recomendations for recovery gear?

Looking for a good quality kit which will be safe to use, will last for life and does not cost as much as ARB products.

Kit would ideally have a extention strap, pulley, a few d rings, tree saver and some safety line blankets.

Thanks guys!

There are a couple of obvious ways to do this, but a complete kit I a bag from one of the 4x4 shops or build up a kit of your own with separate pieces sourced over time. Personally I would go for the latter one and get better quality items individually as they become necessary. Go out with your mates and get stuck and see what they use to extract you and buy your own then next time you can return the favour.

I bought mine piecemeal but I bought from reputable retailers like Devon 4x4 and some Winch specialists.

You don't want to buy something to find it's not very good by it breaking and s shackle flying through your windscreen.

Rated shackles and tree straps are expensive but necessary.
