Basic Recovery Kit

Vehicle extraction made simple

The Basic Recovery Kit is engineered for standard single, extra and double cab bakkies and ensures complete peace of mind during tough recoveries. Each high-grade component is selected to minimize stress on your vehicle while giving you the essential tools needed to handle unexpected trail situations safely.

Specifications & safety

The Wild Dog 4×4 Basic Recovery Kit features a 9m kinetic strap that stretches up to 25% to smoothly transfer pulling energy and reduce vehicle strain, alongside a static 10m winch extension strap for reaching distant anchors. These lines connect to your vehicle using two 8-ton soft shackles, which self-tighten under load to eliminate the hazard of heavy steel projectiles. The kit also includes durable goat skin leather gloves to protect your hands during rigging, all housed in a rugged recovery bag that organizes the gear and shields it from UV damage and dirt.

Kinetic strap uses

• Allows for an even pull during recoveries
• Very useful for flat towing in tight trails
• Stretches up to 25%
• Reduced stress to vehicle components compared to static tow straps
• Professionally made in South Africa

Rigging the kinetic strap minimizes stress on recovery points and prevents frame damage during tough extractions. The strap absorbs and transfers energy from the towing vehicle to the stuck vehicle, ensuring a smooth, highly efficient recovery. The kinetic strap alleviates harsh jerking to reduce strain on both the vehicle and its occupants.

Kinetic strap warnings

• Kinetic straps can be very dangerous if used incorrectly, both to people or property.
• The recovery vehicle must be of a similar weight to the bogged-down vehicle.
• Only use anchoring points on the vehicle that are connected directly to the chassis and are rated by the manufacturer.
• Only use correctly sized and rated connectors (such as soft shackles).
• Never use a kinetic strap on a winch or as a winch cable extension.
• Never tie knots in a kinetic strap when connecting it to a vehicle.
• Never use a damaged kinetic strap.
• Ensure bystanders keep clear of a radius equal to twice the length of the strap.
• Keep the strap clean and free from sand or dirt.
• Neither Stafross Pty Ltd nor Wild Dog 4×4 can be held responsible for any damage or injury caused.

Care & maintenance

4×4 gear is susceptible to wear and tear. Inspect gear before use; never use damaged or unlabeled components. Rinse the gear with fresh water and air-dry it out of direct sunlight.
