For those looking to use their 4×4 vehicle as intended, your off-road and green laning adventures are likely to take you to many of the world’s best and most rugged destinations. But driving in the middle of nowhere isn’t always fun and games!
You can face a number of sticky situations off the road. Having the right tools for the job is essential for successful and safe 4×4 recovery as 4WD Revolution details:
“Don’t be tempted to cut corners and use the incorrect tool for a recovery situation. This includes your choice of recovery points. Tow-bars, tow-hooks, or strap-down points are not recommended recovery points when using a snatch strap or kinetic rope. Safety should always be your first concern, and using the correct equipment is generally more effective and far less risky.”
Thankfully, you don’t have to search too far to discover the recovery essentials every 4×4 should have…
