Wow. Never seen so much 4x4 wrong in one video. Authorities and greenies would have a field day documenting everything on there.
Seriously! The mind boggles on how stupid and/or ignorant some people are.
Apart from the muppets that was a good video @Nessie

Unfortunately people buy a FWD and think they're right to go anywhere. Its a steep learning curve as things can go bad in an instant. As an example, at a meet up at Beachport-Robe we found a new Amarok stuck on the beach. They had road pressure in their tyres and had no clue what they were doing. But to be fair, only since I joined the forum and FWD club did I learn the way I was performing recoveries was dead wrong.
As they are a vehicle designed to do a specialist (and sometimes very dangerous) task, I think it is the responsibility of the manufacturers and dealers of FWDs to advise or teach people how to use them, or at least subsidise a basic FWD driving and recovery course for them.
I know I will step on some toes with this statement, but after re-reading and watching the vids in this thread, I am starting to think that to drive a proper FWD or SUV that is meant for offroad use, you should have a special endorsement on your licence after completing such a course.

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.
Wow! Looks like it was rope too and not steel cable.
I did not think the danger was there when using rope. Clearly there is!
If it can store energy chances are it has the ability to mame or even worse kill.
As you know you cant let your guard down for one second, cause pretty sure it will
bite and bite hard.
YET IT CONTINUES NOT TO SINK IN GRrrrrrr
