    recovery point for winching onto a tow truck or tie down point

    not a snatch recovery point, cant really report it to ebay as its a standered nissan parts and its damn handy for us tow truck opperators but shouldnt be mistaken as an off road recovery point.

    When I was in the Navy, to use the 4WD's from the transport depot, you had to do a 4X4 course. It was basic maintainence and checks, off-road driving and recovery.
    It all seemed pretty mundane at the time, but with all the fatalities, injuries and near misses you get these days. Maybe 4WD's will be the next to have their own class of license.
