Indeed, differences in offroading cultures do exist. For example, air jacks are still a rarity here while HiLIft jacks rule.
Here ropes have been all the rage for half a decade+ now.
They command much higher prices than the straps. My ARB strap is one of the priciest at 60 USD, about double the regular ones, but the ropes, which are brand-name only, start at 100.
Yes, my strap is 8t but a 5t quality strap does not exist in the US market, or I have not found it in the usual places, though I have a 4.5t cheap one for light duty.
Ropes, too, jump from ATV rated to 8-9t.
