You’re probably thinking you might not need a tow rope or recovery straps. But if you're going off the grid, a heavy duty recovery strap or rope can keep you from getting stranded. Perhaps you don’t go offroad often, or you don’t know much about straps. But sometimes, owning a Jeep is like being Batman. People expect you to be able to do rescue work, or at least pull something once in a while when the situation demands it. You know, save the day. Don't have a recovery strap with you? Come on! That’s like Batman leaving his utility belt in the Batcave. Even if you don’t plan on saving anyone right away, what about yourself? Are you thinking you’ll never get stuck on the sand, in a snow drift, or in the mud? Trust us, a time will come when you wish you had a rope or recovery strap.
