Mate if you try and snatch off that it will break first go invest in a hitch or take the towbar out and put rhe strap insode and put the pin back though.

Just found this on you tube. Thought it would be good to post it to show how panic can affect the situation and how easy it can go from bad to really bad.

Trouble with that recovery was they already had footage of that crossing and decided to have a play, and it went bad

I don't want to sound like a know all, but both their vehicles, especially the 79 are very top heavy. Heavily loaded cargo, roof rack and tiny on the roof as well. Not surprising it took very little to tip that thing over. I know those guys like to take a lot of toys with them, just something to think about that's all, especially if you want to push the limits.

Exactly my thought Rossco. Extremely top heavy you can see how much body roll they are getting on the crossing. The other thing I can't figure out is why were they pulling on such an angle it should have been a straight pull.
@TD: So right, what confused me is he says how often they have crossed it and the fact there was footage of him going over but the one camera man didn't get footage so he decided to go back on top of which he went straight back over the same tracks where he would have known the surface had already been broken.
