    Hi guys,

    Last post here was 12 Jan 2011.
    Thought i would give it a bump to the top of the list as there are many many new members on this forum that would benefit from a good read of this thread.

    Happy and Safe Recoveries for all.

    Stay safe.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Glad I read this and the one about snatch straps on tow balls, that would have been the first place I would of hooked the strap to.

    Was out with a couple of mates last week and they were using the tow balls as recovery points, I will pass on the info.

    I noted advice on keeping winch cable lubricated. No data on that from Warn, so can you help with the type of lube recommended. I have a mudflap rubber "skirt" covering the front of the winch, hopefully to keep some of the crud out.

    nice info, maybe do a pdf with checklist to print and put in glovebox.
    I'm only a 4wd newbie and havn't had the joy of recovery yet, but have done plenty of winch/block work with moving machinery,
    There are a couple of other points that I always consider.
    What will happen if something breaks.
    a) will the load stop moving or roll away uncontrolled? - use chocks or secondary lines to stop load and reposition/retighten often
    b) how will the equipment react? - blocks become projectiles, cables become whips - use mats on cables, safety lines on blocks
    c) where are the safest places? - know the danger zones - especially in the line of the pull and if anyone needs to go into these zones to move or adjust anyting, stop the pull
    And remember "maximum planning = minimal effort = maximum safety"
