Rope

Can one of 'Them that know' pass on the benefit of their wisdom?

What is the best tow rope to get for general recovery use (stashed in the back hopefully never to be used)? and:

What breaking strain shackles do you recommend for a Disco?

i use the flat webbing tow strap stuff, it works really well, can be made to any length and have hooks fitted if you like. some people use kenetic rope but i dont like snatch recoveries on my 1884 LR90 as im worried my rear x-member will get torn off due to its old age!

shackles... think the standard is 3.25ton. could get a 5ton if your worried. basically you have to add up the total vehicle weight, and then some more because obviously your stuck!

most of all, make sure you have good recovery points, otherwise you risk tearing off all your panels and chassis parts. jate rings work really well if you have the holes predrilled into your chassis.

Go to machine mart and get a cheapo one it'll do for sticking in the boot.

i havea rope with a 12 ton breaking strain, a strop and bridle with 5 ton breaking strain and shackles with 5 ton working load all from machine mart and jate ring bolted through my chassis. i be winchless so i bought the best i could afford at the time.
