Bull/winch bar tree saver strap- Should know what this is if you ever winched without a truck in front. Wrap this around a tree and using a winch shackle or regular towing shackle to prevent tree damage. Winch shackle- A pulley to double your winch's capacity or winching at angles when a direct pull isn't possible. Usually used with a tree saver. Winch blanket- absorbs the energy of a winch cable should it break under load. FUBAR RTFM STFU :rofl:

WOW! These terms actually are helpful in reading the forums better. Haven't seen any explanations on the other Xterra Forums so I'm glad someone did it.
