So in this pic i am up to nearlly my chassis and way over the hubs. I reckon i was 250% over weight.
.This would equal a winch pull of 7000kgs! NOT KIDDING.

HOW ABOUT THIS ONE - 300% = Line pull or snatch of 8,400kgs

How about this one? Double line pull on an Up spec'd Hi Mount.
SLOPE + DEPTH OF MUD + WEIGHT OF CAR + QUANTITY OF ORGANIC MASS BEING PUSHED OUT IN FRONT

25 Degrees = Load (2,800kgs) + 45% = 4,060kgs X 300% for mud = 12,180kgs
PLUS the wieght of the Organic mass out the front (About 3m3) and we were up around the 15,000kgs!!

Put in a Snatch block and that is halved to 7,500kgs, and what is the Hi Mount rated at? 3,632kgs!
Should have done a triple line pull...Even a Triple Line pull would be 3,250kgs!, near the max capacity of a HiMount.

And it felt every bit of it!!

That is not my car, i took the photo, i was next through that hole though and i did a triple line pull and it was still a very big pull out.

This was the first of about 10 holes just like it that day. You have to be very switched on and get it right or things go wrong.

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.
