    That's like #5 on my things to buy right now. Still haven't needed one yet...

    Lmao!! Truth!

    My sliders and skids have been the most used best investment.

    Yeah, lights are pretty overrated IMO, unless you're constantly hauling ass at night, or running some crazy trails. Then again, they do help with many other camping/fun activities. No regerts on those.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Baja kits sticker¿ :laugh:

    I literally bought my truck and was driving in the dirt the next day to go shooting

    Yeah......I have too many tools to need it when I'm wrenching at the house, it's always been easier/faster to tug/push me or people that are stuck (cue the sliders and skids), and I've only had one flat on a trail. I blame that one on the rugged-fails that came with the truck though.

    My recovery strap. It's the only thing I keep in the truck that I've never used. Got hung up on a lousy line choice in Mojave once and was really excited to finally use it. My buddy backed up to pull me and before I could dig out my brand new strap from under all the shit that was on top of it, he had already unrolled and hooked up his old, faded strap.

    :pout:

    Other than that, everything I have has been used to some extent. Although I was planning on getting a winch this Back Friday. Cuz once you need it, you really need.
