Bit harsh on Paris. Did have a motorcycle vandalised in Toulouse though.
Italy is nuts and France not far behind
I like both countries, as far as I can stay away from the big cities. Splendid sceneries, sometimes nice 4x4 tracks, nice people in the countryside.
That's a very old image and the winch rope in that set up has a hook on the end.
Presuming this is EEC (European Economic Community) and Rest of World…@Brookers78 a few posts back you said " Yes the front crossmember is very different for the ECE models and ROW.
Sorry..I must have missed something ...what do the acronyms ECE and ROW represent pls?

good point. This means we need two rings. One for the end of the winch line and another instead of a snatch block to be used as a snatch ring when using a double line pull
No problem ~ I just looked at the product you recommended above and that's a screenshot from the video on your website on the 5T snatch ring page.
In practice if using the winch for self recovery, you will be driving as well to help reduce strain on the winch and unless hanging off the side of a cliff you won’t be pulling the full weight of the vehicle. A snatch recovery ring could also halve the load. I hope my explanation helps. But I’ll add a link to explain further. As I’m not that good at explaining things in writing only in practise.
Yes, I’m also puzzled by this. Two things:
Here is en example of a double line pull to halve the load. This was a vehicle I recovered whilst in the highlands of Lesotho last year
That guide is just what I needed! Thanks again
Agreed. I purposefully attached to the main bracket of the tow frame not the tow ball. I had a good check to make sure it was a solid mount. Even so, not a perfect recovery. I should have put a winch blanket or improvised one on and possible opened my bonnet. Always try to help out where I can I’m a great believer in what goes around comes around.
