Recovery gear recommendations

I’ll be wheeling on the beach this summer and next winter, also considering a couple of off-road camping trips on mild terrain. Will not be rock climbing.

What would you all recommend as a standard recovery gear package? I have the standard tow hook on front. Need a recovery point in the back. Hook that inserts in the receiver? Also need a strap and perhaps traction boards. Would consider making the boards. Don’t want to spend a ton of money as I won’t off road a ton. But I’m willing to pay for quality. What products do you recommend? Not looking to install a winch or high lift jack.

 

Got the tire gauge, and have a small compressor and extension cord I can run from the bed outlet.

Too bad ARB’s recovery kits have extra stuff I don’t want like a snatch block. Appreciate the advice on the strap and shackle. I still think I ought to have recovery boards for non-sand, probably just wood boards with friction tape.

Great advice on the shovel, I was forgetting that.

 

Awesome thanks!

 

Get a 3/4 inch 12x12 piece of ply wood. It’s a base for your jack on the sand.

 

That’s a good idea, thanks. To jack up and put traction boards under the tires
If needed?

 

I was hoping there was a shackle/strap combo in a bag, but I’ll keep looking.

 

2 pieces of 12"x36" plywood boards can be simply placed in front of dug in rear tires and you drive right out - that shovel will help. You have a rear locker so be careful when you engage 4 lo and lock that up as you can dig in deep fast.

 

I once had a neighbor’s friend get stuck in the neighbor’s yard with his 2WD truck trying to pull an empty boat trailer out of the backyard. Yard was just too wet. He got dug in pretty well before I saw what was happening and came to help. I had some plywood planks and tried to use them but it just wasn’t helpful. Jacked up the read end on a wood base and hammered the wood as far under the tires as I could. Tires couldn’t get a grip on the smooth plywood. That’s why I figure I need to put some traction material on the plywood, just from that one experience.

 

are these any good or another recommendation? https://www.quadratec.com/products/92144_1101.htm
