So far in the XJ I have just a 20' ****** strap, Rear hitch tow hook, and shackles on the front.
Now in my HD I have a shackle hitch, 30' ****** strap, two 12' 3/8 chains, spare shackle, 12' tow strap, and more.
I had over 200' of strap and chain laid out one time pulling my buddys sunk Ram 1500 with the Chevy, only solid ground was way up on a hill.
I need a winch on the XJ!

Sounds like the strap and the ****** block are both good buys. Keep them clean and dry and they should give you good service for many years.
Get yourself a couple of 3/4 inch shackles and you'll be good to go. [ 3/4 shackles are rated at 9500 lbs so I wouldn't go smaller. ]
Good luck with the winch and accessories.

I should probably get a winch at some point, currently have a 20(?) foot chain with 2 sizes of hooks and a Torin Hi-Lift Jack, and a length of rope.
Saved my friends crv using the Hi-Lift as a comealong jack once.
