What kind of recovery gear do you use?
With winter approaching I just ordered and ARB snatch strap and a tow hitch recovery shackle, hopefully to be helping other people out, not myself. So I was what recovery gear you guys keep in or on your rig.

One thing I noticed on the 4runner that is different from my old Tacoma was the points on the front of the vehicle, they are both the closed d-ring type. Is that what you use the chain for? I was trying to avoid a strap that has hooks on it but thats about the only thing I can think that would work up there.

I've had one of these recovery kits for about 10 years and I've never needed anything else, besides a winch.

Thanks to all that have replied. I'm thinking I'm going to get some shackles for the front d-rings, and an extra 10 foot tree trunk saver strap to run between them, that way if needed I could run it through one end of the 30 foot ARB snatch strap I ordered to pull the front end out evenly. Plus that wouldn't put to much stress on any one ring.

Now I want to get the ARB snatch strap just so I can tell people "I keep a snatch strap in my truck." 
Seriously, though, I have a regular old tow-strap and an army e-tool in my 4Runner at all times.

I just keep all my off road recovery gear in my truck - bow shackles for the front recovery points, a receiver shackle, and a 2" snatch strap rated around 14,000 lbs. Might want to keep a pair of work gloves handy too - handling shackles in below freezing temps can be pretty rough. Also, when you tighten the pin on your shackle remember to hand tighten it then back it off about half a turn otherwise you might be looking for someone to cut the shackle off your truck after a recovery.
