Recovery straps = Tow straps to pull you out if you get stuck.
D-Rings are to connect the strap to your Jeep so it can not pop off when you are being pulled out.

You can get both at 4wheelparts or get a good tow strap from an auto parts store and D-Rings can be found at some hardware stores. You need to make sure they are load rated to handle the weight of your Jeep or the vehicle you are trying to pull.

Honestly, with the group of people that are going to be going I don't see how you would really need your own set. Yes it is a good idea to have them, but I'm sure others would be more then willing to help you out. Really you only need one strap and probably two D-Rings.

Apparently a former co-worker opened up her own business and invited me to her grand opening. The grand opening is on the 26th of March up in Fayetteville , Texas the party starts up at noon and the band doesn't show up till 6pm. So Im definitely thinking about going, any one interested in joining me ?

My Jeep is supposed to be finished tomorrow, but I just don't believe it's going to happen. Sure hope so though ...
