Ok few question for you Guys 1. When looking for recovery point (d rings and the such) what kinda weight rating do you guys use does it equal weight of vehicle or what? 2. On straps do you guys go off working load or actual breaking weight (say a 6000lbs working load also has a 18000lbs breaking load) also what brands do you guys buy looking for achor points and Recovery straps I got one in a kit for Christmas but it was only 12′ and had hooks on it so used on a ratch strap that was missing strap.

Hey guys,
I’m enjoying the new podcast, but I have mixed emotions about Greg finally lifting his rig. Part of me enjoyed listening to him agonize about which lift kit to go with. But I guess it is for the best. Now we will get to hear some more wheeling adventure stories because there won’t be any excuses why he won’t take his Jeep out on the trail! 🙂

I have a question for you. I live in AZ and my brother is in southern California. One of our goals is to run the Rubicon in the next year or two. The problem is that my brother has a stock mid 2000’s 4runner 4×4 with a V8. What are the minimum modifications he would need to do to have a “pleasant” experience on the con? I have a TJ Rubicon on 35s, with skids, a winch, and a cage, so I’m assuming I’d be ok.
