Ok I had a decent recovery kit with 2 small straps, 2 d rings and gloves in it and it’s disappeared. Recommendations on a good replacement? I thought about getting a winch rope extension as well since I have the narrow spool winch. Amazon and eBay links appreciated!

I think @Delton came across a pre packaged recovery kit at tractor supply.

May just be my horrible memory but I honestly don't remember this lol. I'm sure tsc does have one though. I just have a tow strap and snatch block. I probably need to be more prepared than that though.

(Note you can’t double line pull to this single line extension, you need to double it too or loop it through the block as a true extension.)

Not a bad idea, Depends on the dirt.
Right. I use them in sandy lake bottoms all the time and they get a little tough to turn when you get down a few feet. I don't think it will be easy to turn these in dry, packed earth.

Doesn’t your chinook have a winch on it?

I just added a hi lifter jack to my collection today. Invaluable if your blackwater evo comes off a rim and you need to change a tire @Delton

We used an old rear axle shaft sharpened to a point removed the lug nuts and used the holes to insert a shackle. We would drive it in at an angle with a sledge and then pull it out with the rig after we got out.

I’ve also dug a hole crosswise deep enough and used a highlift jack as a land anchor.
