    Hey Richard, Welcome to the Forum bud.

    Most of your Questions have been answered above, with the best being Kristoffa's comments on the use of a Towball and a Snatch strap in a Recovery. We take it pretty seriously here. Never Ever put your snatch strap over a tow ball, it could be the last thing you ever do. Plenty to read here on the subject.

    I note you are in Anglesea. There is plenty of good quality easy driving just out the back of Anglesea that is mainly sandy clay and your All Terrains will handle it well. Venturing into the Otways on anything but the driest day will be a Whole other matter though mate. Dont get complacent. The Otways in the Wet is really not somewhere to go with All Terrains. It will end badly

    The Best advice i can give you beyond what is written is Join a Club! I can Highly recommend the Geelong 4WD Club which i have been a member of for 10 years and am a long standing Committee member. Yoiu will learn Plenty going out on day trips with like minded folks. Plenty

    Here is there Web site = www.geelong4wdclub.org.au

    I might see you around mate,

    Cheers Darren

    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.
