<< < (4/7) > >>

Wanderer:
OK I stand corrected. You can't bend a trailing arm.

i no u can bend an arm but if u bend an arm whilst doin light recovery u shouldnt be doin it in the first place cos ur obviously doin somethin which is beyond ur capabilitys,

if in doubt dont pull them out and never recover a vehicle in reverse as it leaves you open to serious injury and your vehicle too at least if something goes wrong on a forward recovery the rear seats give some protection

if in dout winch it out!!!!!  been doin rally recovery since 87 & never had a problem

I often give people an assist if they are broken down and dangerous, or stuck somewhere.... everything from cars to lorries.

If the recovery needs anything more than HIGH box 1st gear... then it is too complicated to be done without having the proper insurance, etc.

I would never winch a stranger's car out, the only time I ever use low box for road recovery is if it's a bloomin big lorry....

I would say... recover forward with a decent Nylon rope (not a strap).. if you can't do that.. then let someone who gets paid for it come and take the risks.
