What straps do you use?

[DustinS]

Wonder what type of straps everyone keeps on hand when off roading?

Full disclosure: I am doing research for ShippersSupplies.com

I've used this one for the past ~2 years:

It works great- I really have nothing bad to say about it.

I have a Bubba, Bubba Rope. So far nice and clean as I haven't had to use it yet, but I'm sure I'll find a Jeep sooner or later.

For recovery, I have WARN

I honestly can't recall the brand, but I have a 30' 4" wide tow strap and 10k lb shackles

Anything without hooks, and stay away from chain as well. I would never offer to pull anyone out if all they had was a strap with hooks or chain. Have seen the aftermath of them breaking first-hand.

Couldn't tell you anymore what kind of straps I have. They are snatch straps though, and have held up well. Try to grab at least one tree-saver strap and some 10Klb D-rings as well in case you need a solid strap with little to no stretch, and a mounting point.

Do most of you carry both a snatch (elastic) and recovery strap? I was kicking myself down on the White Rim two weeks ago for not picking up an ARB Snatch Strap before leaving. All we had was recovery straps to pull a 5500# Jeep two miles, and it needed to be doubled to halve the distance for sharp corners. Many of the times that we let some slack in the line it wasn't obvious to me as I couldn't see the strap in the mirror, and when the 4Runner pulled it back into tension it was very abrupt. Painfully so, being a new vehicle.

I've read that snatch straps aren't typically used for towing, but I sure would have used it to soften the jolts if I'd had one!

Are used to Bubba rope and it has been absolutely fantastic

We have a couple rugged ridge straps (2"x30' and 3"x30') and an ARB tree saver. Been happy with all of them but when they get replaced, all will be ARB. Some of the best straps around.

I've used a snatch strap for towing several times, worked fine. Much better than a chain for sure.
