yep all the buddies going big boi tires. those are 33s for reference

 

That's pretty fucking gnarly. Is he doing anything to beef up his axles?

 

Holy moley look at the difference. Sheesh.

 

I like that companies soft shackle, and how it's wrapped to protect it. I'll have to keep that in mind if I buy any soft shackles.

besides gearing, not really. all of us are getting our spindles gussets on this weekend and we did a small group order for the cvj boots. Ill get to watch them wheel with the 37s before i make my decision

 

Yeah I'll be curious how they do in the longer term, since that seems like a whole lot of extra abuse on a lot of components. I think 35s is as big as I'll ever go on the tacoma, and I'll save 37s for if I ever get a buggy or something.

 

@Bocsy44 if the recovery strap GB doesn't work out, check out this ARB strap. It's also kinetic, meaning it stretches. I haven't used a rope so can't compare the two, but this ARB one is the tits and I've used it many times.

I think @Subway4X4 has this one?

 

I love my soft shackles. Mine are Bubba Rope, but same idea. I haven’t unscrewed a D ring from my truck since I bought the soft shackles.

 

sweet I will keep this in mind. I have just a normal strap which is better then nothing but I would like something more along these lines in the line up hahaha

 

I think he even has two. I've probably used mine 10 times, and I'm super happy with it. One time we even linked two together since @ADV4R was deep in the shit

 

Yeah a normal strap is no good for most truck to truck recoveries, but are always good to have in the arsenal

 

yeah I bought it cuz I was like yeahhhh tow strap! then hanging out here I learnt things lol still have more learning to do in regards to recovery gear, I really don't have much but I want some recovery boards and some soft shackles.

 

I'm going to pretty much delete D rings from my truck. I'm having @Skell weld on some soft shackle mounts to my rear bumper instead of the d ring mounts. Might even do the same on the front.

Soft shackles are pretty awesome

 

I was the same way! first time out wheeling I went with a buddy, and we only had a tow strap with those hooks on the end. He got stuck as shit, and I proceeded to break my strap trying to get him out. Luckily someone else came along and got him out of that water hole that was basically a lake.

 

Yeah i would be but i have 16s, so i would need to find 5 17in wheels. Not to say its impossible, but let me look around. Cant break the bank with the wheels either.
