    Hey guys,

    I'm looking for some recommendations for recovery equipment, and to learn about any bundles that are the most reasonably priced. I know it's not something too skimp on because, well, I don't want anything snapping and causing damage to vehicles or humans haha

    I saw an ARB kit on Slee http://www.sleeoffroad.com/products/products_recovery_main.htm that seemed like the best price, but add $20-40 for 1-2 for winch line dampeners.

    Wuold love to hear about some other options!

    You can get everything in the kits from Amazon for less money just buying the individual pieces. Or this kit which has the same gear and capacities as the one from ARB

    I just ordered this. I also plan to add a snatch strap and a few things I already have.

    Traction mats are pretty standard for anyone serious about off-roading and I intend to get some of those, too.

    There are name brand and generic versions of every type of product. It sucks to pay a lot for stuff you hope you never need to use. But, I hate the thought of something failing when you really need it.

    I think sticking with the name brand products is the best bet. Good luck with your purchase!

    I like the look of the ARB kits you linked. I might have to pick one up to add to my collection.

    I ordered these things to add to the hi lift accessories and the other assorted gear I've accumulated.

    The Maxsas run in the middle of the pack price-wise. They should be sufficient for my needs

    For the D-Rings/shackles make sure they have the manufacture and WLL stamped on them. Chinese or American this tells you the are certified. If it doesn’t have any marking aside from 3/4” or 1” I’d steer clear.

    I’m not sure if they’ve changed but years ago the smittybuilt d-rings were not stamped and quite a few people steered clear of them due to that. Don’t know what you got until it fails.
