Recovery...???

Whats up ya'll I'm new to the whole trail thing... I was wondering if anyone has some pointers... My truck is a pre-runner... Do you think ill need any recovery (shackles, straps etc...)... Im going with a few buddies of mine and they have 4WD titans (bOOOOO)... I would appreciate the help....
Thanks

 

i was thinking about those same questions, i figured most people that regular trailing have the straps and i wouldnt need them as they would be a waste as i dont go very much

 

If you have a hitch then you can hook a strap through there and then from the front you have tow hooks so you should be set

get a good quality recovery strap

 

If you go offroad - you should have a recovery strap (no hooks) and a solid tow point and never go offroad alone.

The best (IMO) 'solid tow point' (other than the factory tow hook) is having a hitch. On a draw bar....using a D-ring (threaded pin) in the hole where the ball would mount.

Use the search button to search what people are using in terms of recovery straps & tow points.

If you are recovering someone else's vehicle, make sure they have a solid tow point. If they don't have a solid tow point that involves integration with the frame. Or else - you need to tell them YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for damage caused by using non-solid area to tow from.

 

thanks for all the help and ill be sure to let them and not rip out their bumper lol...
