Kilo is Gloria Recio's 2022 Bronco. Gloria is an Army veteran out of Georgetown, Texas, who has run the Rebelle Rally twice: eight days and 1,500 miles of Nevada and California desert, navigated by map and compass with no GPS, and in 2025 she and her co-driver finished 12th of 60 in a Bronco with no Raptor badge on it. This is the Ultimate kit in the colors of her rig: same rope, same ratings, same price as olive, in black. One size, 7/8 inch by 30 feet, for rigs from 5,000 to 7,400 lb loaded; the olive Ultimate runs 3/4 to 1.25 inch.

A 7/8 inch by 30 foot Kinetic-X rope in black, two black soft shackles, one Hitch Hero, the Off-Road Recovery Cards, a rope instruction brochure and two stickers, all in one carry bag.

A 2 inch or bigger receiver, an A-arm, a frame, or any other solid metal component. Its sheath protects the shackle from raw metal edges as thin as 3/16 inch, so you don't need a receiver insert or a rated bumper point, and you can slide the sleeve back to inspect the shackle underneath. Never rig to a tow ball.

The Ultimate is a rope, two soft shackles and one Hitch Hero: enough for a straight kinetic pull. The Titan's biggest step up is two bridles, so you can run one on each rig, which spreads the pull across two recovery points, keeps it centered even when the trucks aren't lined up, and keeps both vehicles in line. It also adds two more Hitch Heros, a third soft shackle, a pulley with the Anti-Tip Block, two D-rings and gloves. See the Titan Recovery Kit.

Every Kinetic-X rope and shackle is pull-tested to failure by an independent lab in California before we publish a rating. Every rope carries its production date on the tag, so you always know how old it is.

Every piece carries a lifetime warranty under proper use, within its published service life, which starts the day it's shipped. Ropes and shackles are good for 10 years stored properly, shaded and out of the weather, or 5 years if they live exposed in a truck bed, on a bumper or on a roof rack. The full rules and the claim process are on the Warranty and Service Life page.

The rope: clean it if it's dirty, then run your hands down the whole length and make sure it feels the same end to end. A rope that took a hard pull isn't automatically done; if a stretch of it feels too stiff, retire it. The shackles: heavy fuzz on the outside is normal. Slide the Hitch Hero's sleeve back and look at the strands; if you see a tear, retire it, and if you don't, it stays in service. The inspection guide walks through both in two minutes.
