Best recovery gear is a good mate to help you out with his vehicle :wink:

bodgeitjo:
hi, hi lift jacks a   good choice doubles up as winch as well.  :)

Disco Matt:
A good tow rope and a couple of suitable shackles to start with. Hilifts aren't much use for recovery unless you have suitable bumpers/sills. Yes you can winch with them but it takes ages - you're better off with a Tirfor (sp?) hand winch. Hilifts are also good for straightening bent bits (such as bumpers) and moving stuff blocking the ROW (such as tree trunks).

Wizardbilt makes an excellent rack for a hilift that fits on the spare wheel holder of a Disco. I bought one recently and was most impressed, the workmanship is first rate!

Skibum346:
A bloody good tow rope to start with. Not your Halfords special either. Get down to your local 4x4 specialist and get a good quality heavy duty tow rope and a couple of matching rated shackles to fix it with.

After that... maybe a high lift jack... oh... and a CB!

After that... well... depends how deep your pockets are!
