Recovery Gear

[Squatting Dog]

I think recovery bridles are a great idea for a stuck Raptor. Since the Raptor is a 6280lbs beast if it is stuck frame deep then the pulling force would be 300% (18840lbs on level ground)..

Looking at the Raptors stock recovery points, i feel safer spreading out the force over two points than one..

Considering that standard hmmwv weights 5,200 lbs and up armoured (level 2) hmmwv weights approximately 7,200 lbs.

I have been looking for the ones the Army uses on hmmwv and mraps..

And 1" van beest screw pin shackles they have a 6:1 safety rating. WLL 8.5 tons MBL (6x8.5) 51 tons.

That is set up for a winch. If you have one it is a good starter with a tree saver, cable weight, snatch block and other goodies. I would also make sure the clevis have a minimum 3/4" thick pin too. Rugged Ridge is usually a Jeep company, so check the ratings too. The Raptor is about twice the weight of a Jeep

The Ford Racing Recovery set actually has a really good and comprehensive package for most situations.

This is a really comprehensive box.

Added one of theses to my winch today. After last weekend's shenanigans, I'll feel much safer with it. Not cheap.

Anyone carry Sand Ladders?

I picked a set today to carry on camping trips. I have been stuck a few times and got free using mic boards. So when I ran across a set of light weight plastic sand ladders, I had to have them. I probably want ever need them but its on of those things I rather have and not need, than need and not have.
