    Hello Everyone. I just got my first Taco last month and I'm absolutely lovin' it! Hitting the beach next weekend and going to get it dirty for the first time (maybe play with this new 'Crawl Control' feature). We'll be out there with a Jeep but I just found out they don't have a recovery strap. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good brand of recovery strap/kit and what all 'essentials' we may need? Google University & Amazon Tech seems to show three popular brands (ARB, Rhino, Smittybilt) and I want to get any seasoned veterans opinions on the best one.

    Thanks in advance for your help!
