Trying to get my Jeep ready to go explore some trails but want to be ready to dig myself out of a hole...

Heres a list of things I want to get...

1. Air Compressor
2. Traction Boards
3. Recovery Kit
4. Shovel
5. Bottle Jack

I already have winch and 4 shackles.

I was looking at this recovery kit:

https://www.amazon.com/GearAmerica-...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=P3RNQ2TC59Z5DGCK05D9

And trying to find the X Bull traction boards or something similar.

Any suggestions/recommendations?

Will be doing light/medium trail riding in Florida.

your best bet is to build your own recovery kit. You sound like you don't need the 2 extra shackles that come with the Gear America Kit. You can find straps very easily for cheap. I got a 3"x30' for 14 dollars on sale rated for 30k... Id recommend one snatch block at least as strong as your winch (10k winch, 10k block). Also you can find these that are not made by an off-road brand for much cheaper and they are the same. No "hobby tax"

My kit has:
3"x30' Pull strap (30k lbs)
3"x10" tree strap (30k lbs)
10k Snatch block
P.O.S. Gloves
Hi-Lift Jack (much better than a bottle jack off road IMO)
3 Shackles
ARB Dual compressor (on board air)
Vivair 85P portable compressor
3ft Spade Shovel (Folding ones suck)
Smittybilt Traction Boards
A bag (doubles as cable break guard)
