As above, just so I know how to IF my wife gets bogged on the beach (or elsewhere).

Where are recovery points or do I need to fit some and what are the rules for using/fitting them?

Not sure of the actual location but it would be a good idea to get a tree trunk protector to use to balance the load accross multiple points, that way you can protect the car as much as possible.

Hi Dexter

Yeah, I've got that covered, I have a 3m drag chain that has "eyes" on the end to balance the pull. I try to do this even with my chassis'ed 4wd's.

COOL!

Thanks for that! More or less what I thought, but it is good to see it on video. Obviously THAT was made to show 'monocoque' doesn't mean 'weak'.

Thanks guys.

Precisely! I love this bit:
According to information from tests conducted in Japan prior to monocoque Pajero being released, this is more than enough to distort some conventional 4WD chassis.
