Hey Snicko, You got a recovery kit, yes ? What's in it and what's the rating ? I'm going thru threads, but it's like tyres... Making me more confused.. looking a ebay, a 'kit' ranges from $80 to $300..How do u know which one is right ?

Yes we have a kit and also a couple of extra straps. I will have to go out and look at exactly what we have and will let you know tomorrow if that's OK??

I went for the middle of the line recovery kit that included everything for wholesale $150

Obviously a lame attempt to raise the value of a Toyota but absolutely nothing to do with me, I've never owned anything but Nissan's and bought Fords for my wives.

Haven't used mine yet however a ex mate has the same and we used his all the time - they were great. They say cargo mate on the bag, seem good quality. Below is my ex-mate's online store to have a look. Before our falling out I got lots of recovery equipment and lights through him all good quality

The strap, shackles and gloves are a good start, I would add a damper blanket as well. A second snatch strap can be useful as either a back up or for doubling the length. I keep a rolled up magazine wrapped in sticky tape in my kit to join straps.

The list of recovery gear gets a lot longer if you have a winch.
