Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

No Winch (or Wench)!

Most of that kit is centered around a pre-existing winch, so you'd be wasting a fair amount of money with it. IMO, with a Jeep with just factory tow hooks and no winch, just get a tow strap and a kinetic rope from reputable manufacturers. They have different uses and will handle what you need.

Advantage to see and hear no evil; speak no evil shy a cup. That explains a lot...

Hey all you jeep geniuses. Question for you. I'm looking to get some recovery gear and don't really want to piece stuff together, so I'm thinking about this set. What are your thoughts?

Bulldog Winch 8pc Truck Rigging Kit | 20074|Northridge4x4

I have this one, it's half the price of the one you posted, but yeah, it's all Chinesium, but it's never failed me.

I've used it only a couple of times tho, mostly the tow strap. But I have used the snatch-block and the tree-saver as well, with my Smittybilt wench.

@HydroBlue22 - I like Bubba Rope stuff for US-made kinetic ropes: Bubba Rope 20-foot • Bubba Recovery Gear

There are other brands out there, but I like their stuff being that it's US-made.

For a tow strap - most all of that is either Chinesium or way over priced. I'd just rock a cheapy Quadratec or similar: RES-Q Recovery Strap 4" X 30' 40,000 lbs. | Quadratec

Edit: Bubba does have a tow strap as well, and they provide breaking strength ratings for different ways of using the strap: Black Op Tow Strap • Bubba Recovery Gear (bubbarope.com) That's the big difference with US and Chinesium stuff is the US stuff usually undergoes proper breaking strength testing.

The Badland stuff at HFT is an option as well.

I have Yankum stuff(also US made), I decided I wasn't going to cheap out with something that could be holding 10,000lbs or more of tension.

I want that fairlead and new snatch block thing they have but I also need to buy other things and my current winch and stuff works just fine lol

Who knew all it would take is a nut pic

And here I thought your avatar accomplished that already, as if the wheeling pics weren't enough.

BTW, @gek, your bringing up of Wee Man is responsible for everyone now witnessing this gif

Welp, so much for lunch, diet starts now.

Now that we have gone vinyl flooring in most of the house, maybe I need to look at some for Cooper's clumsy ass. He wants to play SO bad inside but he slips and slides around too much on the floor. Afraid he will screw up his ACL again.

We got them for our lab so she could deal with wood floors. Do it, he'll love them.
