Best Off-Road Recovery Gear for Jeep Owners

Getting bogged down while being involved in off road adventures is not something to be embarrassed about. In fact, danger can wait around every corner for drivers of any level of experience, from the most novice to the most seasoned; it is inevitable. And when it does, it is important that you are equipped with the appropriate Jeep recovery gear to accomplish whatever recovery is necessary — whether it be for yourself or for whoever else in the group is hampered.

You may well go out on your off-road adventures thinking that you do not need to take a Jeep recovery kit - maybe you will assume your buddy or other people in your off-roading group will carry whatever is necessary. But there is no guarantee that this will always be the case. Even if someone does have adequate Jeep recovery gear, it is possible that they are not close enough to you for it to be of any use. Therefore, it is never a bad idea to double-check that you have everything you require in your Jeep recovery kit. This not only ensures that you will be able to handle any situation on your own, but it also makes it possible for you to assist any disabled vehicle in front of and behind you.

Recovery snatch block

In every recovery gear set, the Snatch Block is an essential component to have. When it comes to the uses and functions, the choices are virtually limitless. This is a handy tool that everyone ought to have in their rig because it can be used to self-recover, change directions, pull someone else out, or quadruple the pulling power and weight of your winch cable.

Recovery traction boards

For every off-road adventure in a Jeep, traction boards are an absolutely necessary piece of safety recovery gear. The most obvious application is to improve tire traction in slippery conditions like mud or sand. The board is designed with recessed sections on the bottom that provide traction in mud, loose dirt, sand, and snow. The knobs on the top of the board provide traction for the tires. They are multifunctional tools in that they have a variety of additional applications. If you wanted to save money and space by not purchasing a shovel, you could use it as a shovel to move earth away from your tires instead and free up your vehicle.

D ring shackles

D rings are critical in your vehicle recovery gear kit. In fact, there is no such thing as a comprehensive recovery gear kit unless it contains at least one set of D-rings. These are used to make temporary connections of pulleys, snatch blocks, and recovery straps in order to recover vehicles in a secure and effective manner. Carry a spare set in your ride at all times so that you are prepared for any eventuality.

The Rhino USA D-Ring Shackles are held to the highest quality and have been lab tested right here in the United States. You will have the confidence and peace of mind that comes with knowing that they will not fail you when you need them the most, thanks to their break strength of over 40,000 pounds.

Kinetic recovery rope

Kinetic Recovery is an entirely other beast compared to simply towing a vehicle using a standard tow strap or providing some non-intrusive assistance. The Kinetic Recovery Rope has elasticity (stretches up to 30%, unlike standard tow straps, which only stretch around 8%) which means that it can stretch and allow kinetic energy to provide some additional "pull" to liberate a vehicle that is actually stuck. This type of recovery rope is also referred to as a "yank" rope or strap. For instance, if a rig is stuck up to the axles in sand or heavy muck, the kinetic rope is an excellent recovery technique that can be utilized.

Kinetic Recovery rope, provides a little bit more of the necessary strength to get someone unstuck, even a larger vehicle. It is also a lot easier and safer on both vehicles involved and helps to minimize the stress.
