I carry one, but everyone i wheel with also carries one.

I bought it for $22. It went up I guess. I was clicking on the item I bought. That's still a steal.

I sent the seller a note as to why the part number is different. It looks like the same part as this one but different numbers:
88899 Warn Medium Duty 19K 19 000lbs Snatch Block | eBay

Thanks! But, have you ever need two? I hate relying on other people having something I need.

I have not personally needed two, but I just ordered a second. I can think of two times when 2 blocks could have been used. Once was when a jeep was stuck up to the frame in serious mud crossing a creek. It was a trail guide on a Jamboree (we needed to make a new trail due to condition changes). They tried using two winches at once, but in hindsight, they should have used snatch blocks to multiply winch capacity. Stupid, but no one thought of it.

The other time (or two) was to pull people sideways in very tight trails. But I was doing the rescuing.

I just ordered that other one. I figured for $44, I'll have a second. I've spent $44 on dumber things.

Thanks. Gonna do the same. I've have the high end ARB one now. Will get the $44.00 version too. Was thinking of several times it would have made the situation much easier.
