Well I go 4wheeling almost every weekend and me getting myself stuck is inevitable. I know I need some tow straps, a snatch block, some d-rings, a trunk protector, and a metal chain. Any brand recommedations or anything else that you veterans have found that comes in handy in those sticky situations?

Why no chain?

Straps are alot safer. Bad things happen when a chain breaks. If you have a good strap (and don't get one w/ the hooks ), you don't really need a chain.

A bonus is a strap is way lighter than a heavy-duty chain.

There may be other reasons, but this is about all I can come up with.

Generally, I agree, no chains.

One situation where a chain would be better is if your only anchor for winching were rocks with sharp, jagged edges that could possible cut/wear through a strap.

Sounds like you have a winch - make sure you have a heavy pair of gloves to handle the cable with...

i think if you wheel alone a winch is your number one thing. I carry a 20' tow strap, air compressor and some good fix-a-flat. All of which has got me out of bined somehow. I dont wheel alone though, not until the winch

I ordered the tow strap and D shackles today from Northridge. Thanks!

I just make sure that Doojer is in front of me with his TMAX and WOL is behind me with his PowerPlant. That's all the recovery gear I need.
