Most are 8,000kgs For a patrol I would go all 11,000kgs stuff
I'm not quitting drinking, I'm retiring at the top of my game - sporting comeback likely.

ARB gear is good but pricey.

Most recovery gear is tested to standards, so stick with name brand.

Check some 4wd shops, and if in doubt go a bit heavier in rating rather than 'just enough'
My friends aren't holding me back..... I'm pulling 'em forward.

The standard rule with snatch straps :- the strap should be rated 2 & 1/4 x the weight of what you are recovering.
eg:- GU Patrol = 2 & 3/4 tonne ish so a min of 7 tonne strap.
# GU 2-3/4 tonne + camper 1-1/4 tonne, a min of 9 tonne strap
