X2That’s a good question on synthetic rope vs steel on a snatch block.
Have you ever run the Rubicon in snow ❄?
I wouldn’t mind running Slick Rock with ya you trail name dropper

They are just waiting on a small custom part to complete the assemblies. They were ordered with a tolerable lead time which has been extended for some reason only the vendor understands. Everything else is done and ready to go.@pagrey You make some good points.
TRE snatch blocks have been out of stock for months can anyone recommend another good light weight option? Trying to keep the weight of everything down to minimize danger.
Two things never cease to amaze me, the display of bumper jewelry that should be kept out of the elements and the ire of owners when you point out their ignorance. Completely baffling but sorta understandable. Those that understand are also those who do recoveries.I echo the suggestion for soft shackles. So easy to work with. Easy to carry one in your pocket with you when out watching the other rigs in your group try things.
I trail guide for a few different organizations and we get a wide cross section of Jeep owners through the woods quite often. It never ceases to amaze me how many keep their D-Ring bow shackles on their bumpers year round, causing rusting and rendering them useless. It’s like Jeep jewelry for them or something. I like to wear gloves when doing any kind of work outside the Jeep on the trail. I’m sure you know the basics.
Not sure if you mentioned it, but if you’re new to vehicle recoveries, maybe a good class would be in order. And always check the working load limits on any recovery gear you buy to make sure it’s not ATV rated stuff etc.
I agree wholly with the concept. I have doubts about how much it will wear a soft shackle under load. Ricky's aluminum snatch block weighs under a pound if such things matter.Is this snatch ring light enough for you?

At least one company is producing a poor copy.I was interested in these but don’t think they sell them in the US.

Very nice, you definitely saved a lot of weight going to synthetics.Finished up my recovery bag with a few Xmas presents from the wife.
keeping everything in a Blue Ridge recovery bag. Really happy with wasn’t sure if everything was going to fit but it all fit perfect.

I thought this giant soft shackle by TRE was very cool when used with my safety thimble thishould allow me to only use one connection a lot of the times when winching.

The coolest thing by far is the new soft shackle snatch block. It’s is Amazing light compared to a traditional snatch block, now that I have this I won’t have to bring any old style D rings with me when wheeling, VERY impressive product.

I’m very happy with how the kit turned out. Just thought I would finish this thread up showing what I decided on.

I have a hard time believing a bow shackle is less load and it destroys the rope.
I suppose we could just continue to guess and speculate.... Although I'm not sure his data is accurate...
