    I am in the market for a snatch block and was wondering what other Tundra users suggest?
    I have seen the following that look decent...but I always value other users who have actually used these devices if possible. Thank you.

    Warn Epic snatch block

    ARB Ultra light snatch block Tactical Recovery Equipment
    https://www.tacticalrecoveryequipment.com/product-category/snatch-blocks/

    Or the newer style rope retention pulley like this Factor 55 option...

    Function before sparkle.
    I used to run an ARB 9000. Reliable and load rated at 20k, which is ideal for a Tundra.

    I use an old Warn. All those options look like a good choice.

    Thank you.
    I’m wondering if these newer smaller lighter ones are legitimate. Even some of the snatch rings seem to be popular also. But I can only find YouTube “reviews” which I don’t always trust.

    If for some reason my heavy snatch block ended up missing, I would invest in a snatch ring with big soft shackle.

    Synthetic or steel cable? I thought someone had came out with a simple solution for synthetic
    i was just about to comment, but couldn’t remember the name of them, and wasn’t sure if he was running steel or synthetic cable. I looked into these heavily when I put my winch on the 4runner

    I only run synthetic rope. No way I would ever go back to steel unless it was a winch mounted to my flatbed trailer that sits outside.

    For some reason, I always get a banana hammock outfit, lube, and porn videos. Maybe I am going to the wrong Christmas parties..
