I carry (2) 30’ recovery straps and 35’ of 3/8 steel cable with hooks.
I want a set of soft shackles though!
I’ve used my stuff several times through the years.

doesn t look bad either way, just different. I have the same steps and NEED them, shorty. plus maybe they give a little lower side protection from rocks and stuff.

Got to use the soft shackles, I bought last year, for the first time last week during the blizzard we had. Made the recovery so much easier than the steel shackles I have dont think I could have gotten them hrough the recovery point on the SUV I yanked out of ditch.
 
well was supposed to join the boys at Dodge Truck Extreme for some high speed fun in the desert
example of shenanigans and stunts capable with over $20k in Kings 3.0, trusses, long arms, welded reinforcements:

but 2 difference 80 series LC kicked my *** this week: one was for complete front axle disassembly just for to get the front diff out, the other was for transfer case high low gear upgrade, then swapped friend's fox 2.0 to 2.5 on his JT friday night afterwork on the ground.

ended up getting a call for help and taking the truck to rescue my friend's dead VW GTI. cause of death? dead battery on an one year old car. jumped it right up with my Noco GBX75 whereas his Amazon special cheap temu jumper failed to do the job.

DTX is always a lot of fun, the roasting of mickey mouse brodozers and online salesmen who try to "educate" people (and then calling it "helping people by giving different options") but with nothing but brochure marketing nonfactual information residing in various FB groups are hilarious as well.
then chatting with people who are providing legit R&D and products are always fun and insightful as well
Don Thuren the legend himself brought the RHO and was there with his team, Marcus Dethloff was there too, Josh from Trails Offroad joined but didn't go on the run i think, and bunch of other rad people were there.

expect something for RHO coming from Thuren in the future.

Yeah I'm contemplating that. I bought the truck used and damage was previously there, but I see it on quite a few I've seen around. I thought it was street paint sprayed up, until I went to clean it up.

Thanks for reminding me to buy soft shackles.

I went ahead and detailed the interior today. First time since winter aside from some pretty basic wipe downs and quick vacuuming. Really wasn't that bad.

303'd all the rubber seals, checked for leaks around the rear window, cleaned out the sunroof and made sure the mesh part was dry. It was all pretty damp which is a bit worrying but I do work under cover at least.

Kinda surprising how much debris gets into the engine bay though. I'm not going to waste my time detailing that ever again. I'll just make sure to use air and hose the majority of crap out.

But that's what I did today. Exterior hopefully this week or weekend depending on the weather. I really need to get some window treatment going and get the crap off my exhaust tips.
