couple month ago the Nissan club i am in ran a trip to Mt Disappointment. we came across a few dummies what were trying to snatch off the towball.
we couldnt believe and made sure we explained to them the dangers involved. they also managed to rip a hole in the sump and leave a huge oil spill. further on round we came across some other dummies who went though a mud hole solo, we ended up having to recover them and explain the dangers of snatching off the towball.

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
Yeah i reckon its been 15 years since i have been to Dissa.Originally Posted by AB

was a good day out apart from the nuggets, we really couldnt believe what they were trying to do, the last group that we helped, we ended up giving them a lift back down to Melbourne so they could get someone to go back up and collect the car.
still cant understand why people go out to do 4wd'ing without being fully prepared. its a costly mistake.
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.

My advice is: not to follow my advice.

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.
