Recovery Gear
Going to buy hi-lift jack. Need help figuring out what accessories I need to use it as a winch. Saw hi lift sells a recovery kit. Should I upgrade to ARB snatch strap (24,000lbs/30ft) and ARB tree trunk protector (3" x 10' 24,000lbs). Not sure exactly what to buy. Thanks!

While a snatch strap is a good thing to have in your recovery bag, it's not to be used with the Hi-Lift jack. Use a tow strap. The Snatch strap is made to stretch where the tow strap is low (or no) stretch.

You'll also need some gloves and a gym membership
Maybe a tree saver.
Watchout for that handle! make sure it locks each time. If not it'll whip your ass
After a couple times hi lifting my way out I said, "$300 isn't that bad for a winch"
