Not sure you would have that problem if you ordered it from Dave at Northridge 4x4.

Yeah I dont wanna wait but I know ill get stuck a time or two at least lol, since im new, just wanna go prepared to get out lol

the thing that kind of sucks is I dont have lockers or lim slip ........ just 4wdLow and winch lol
You'll be surprised how much the electronic traction control will help - acts like a limited slip only using independent braking to the wheel(s) losing traction. Know your limitations and don't go alone especially on strange trails.

And don't forget the most important thing...common sense.
You will get stuck because you will do things that common sense tells you not to (that is the fun part)
But use common sense when doing the recovery, you don't want to hurt yourself or anyone else

They were backordered because they found a issue with the die that they use to color the straps. Very proactive IMHO to fix the issue.

ARB is one of the best companies. And the Recovery gear is the best we have seen.

Wow you spared no expense with the moist towelettes. All I have is a wad of napkins from Hardee's stuffed under the emergency brake handle.

Ryno,
