And here i was thinking you had to give her the biggest tug ya could!!! ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.png)
That was exactly how it should have been done, only give the recovery the minimum of momentum to get the desired result. Start small and build up if necessary. That was nearly a tow rather than a snatch and that is all that was required.
Good result.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!

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.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

What I LOVED was SAFETY first! By standers cleared out of harms way JUST IN CASE! Love that thought process, not sure about where your Mate used as a recovery point tho. I was happy to see all things were thought about and communicated to all concerned. Can I suggest you get your self either a hession potato bag or a recovery strap dampner blanket to place over the recovery snap, so if it does break, the dampner will slow it down quickly and help it fall to the ground before hiting anythingor one.

PS great Vid well done camera woman.

hahaha, cheers. Love the warning notice on the top. I get a bit excited while out bush and let the odd word slip so sorry if i offended anyone.
Safety first is the way to go, tip taken about the bag or winch weight. We normaly do use one but only when we need to give some major effort with a big lurch pull. We kinda knew this would only be a line pull. Allways a good idea though if youve got one.

As we all do mate, we just gotta be careful what we put on here is all.
Usually a warning something like I put in your first post is normally ok but if its sorta right on the line, send us a link via PM so we can check it out first & that way its all good from the start.
