I snatched a Landcruiser with my Jimny.
Landcruiser had 33's with twin air lockers, but she was still stuck!
I nearly tore the recovery points of the Jimny but it lived.

Bwawawawa you snatched a purple landcruiser cruiser out with your tiedown points and trashed you car :lol: That brings the funnay.

This thread - bringing the ghay since Tue May 02, 2006.

Seriously, it's basic physics. My 2500kg Gwagen has been pulled out by an empty 1.0 trayback, uphill, sitting on the chassis - it itook a lot of hate though.

I've seen all sorts of stuff pulled out by sierra, and I've pulled out sierras with my gwagen like they weren't even there. I didn't even know there was a car attached.

It's doesn't prove anthting about any car, only that you can generate kinetic energy.

sorry to be a downer, but this thread rates with the "you'd be surprised where a CRV can go..... thread"

Steve

Maybe I need to start a thread "what has your sierra been pulled out by" :roll:

Snatched a loaded Dodge Tipper with my LJ50 :armsup:

Wasn't much of a bog, just a very sandy track, but I'll still claim it!!



Biggest other than that was a FJ Troopy , again with LJ50, on River Flats.

Took about a dozen snatches, but still got 'im, then went back in for the Range Rover he was trying to pull. Got him too.

Snatching out a the big purple Landcruiser with my old Jimny was so much harder than recovering my mate John stuck on his diffs with my New Grand Vitara.

Keep up with the whining and we will be calling you GrimboWagenSteve pretty soon ;)

That said - this is the best tech thread since that "you know you're a suzuki owner when..." thread. :D

You'd never make that mistake Greg, even my whining threads have tech in them.

Maybe we need a new thread for the tech section " What's your favorite colour?"

Apparently you like "flat, satin and "organic" colours".

Sorry Steve - I couldn't help myself! :lol:

thought this was the SUZUKI section....where ALL things suzi can be mentioned...not just tech!. keep up the thread as its interesting to see what a zook can do. i remember pulling out locked cruisers and all sorts of stuff....even locals on our anual trips to tassie! oh, and i much prefer the name gaywagonsven.....someone else can claim that name....i forget who it was.

I think someone might need to put all seven of their transfer cases into High Range and catch up with the rest of the forum.
