Went out with a mate last week we ventured down a hill to a river then on the way back out it rained and things got a bit slippery. It took us over 3 hours to go 100m.
My mate had no winch so using snatch block and my Tiger11 I had to winch him up the hill infront of me then winch myself up and as you will see we had to winch ourselves back onto the track a few times, I even had to use my winch to pull the back end of my trol back onto the track.The Tiger performed excellent as to my battery as we done a good 20 or more winch sessions and in the rain and it was in the dark.I actually had a great time.

Short video of one session.

Thanks for posting, that video is pretty cool, looks like you would have been stuffed if you didn't have a winch, & that snatch block paid for itself right there. ;)

Hahaha nice! Good proper wet!

Hey Ray i think i know that red patrol. Does the owner work at a certain engineering company next to a pub? If it is, its been up my place with the previous owner. Damn tough rig!

Hey Lucas, yeah I used to work there. was dannys old patrol. Was a pretty extreme short trip but we both worked well together to get ourselves out of trouble and i cant recommend that tigerz11 winch enough as my rig isn't a light bus and it moved it with is ease. Thanks Ray for saving our skins, keen for this weekends gravel pit challenge.....
