I pretty much have nada recovery gear right now and was checking out recoverygear.com's 'kits'. The pricing on the kits seemed pretty fair...any better deals to be found?

Ouch. Seems kinda expensive to me. It looks like there are a lot of parts that you don't need in there.
First, never go off-roading by yourself. The best piece of recovery equipment that you can get is a friend (with a 4x4). Beyond that, you need a 20 or 30' (2") recovery strap, and 2 3/4" D Shackles. Check out 4x4 Connection (www.4x4connection.com) for low prices. You are looking at like $40.00 to $50.00 from them verses the $400.00 from Recovery gear. Other items should probably include a shovel (depending on where you wheel) and gloves. And don't forget to get a Receiver Shackle Bracket (about $50.00) so they can pull you out using your rear hitch.
Thanks,
