Not on ly that, the front of their vehicle may break off and fly in through your back window to clock on the back of the scone! Exit one LR owner.

The hand book I have with my 03 Discovery to my knowledge does not refer to snatch strap recovery at all.

I guess that Toyota may be concerned that if their vehicles are snatched then that may be further cause for the IFS to collapse :?: :?: :?: :evil:

I dont think they could handle a trifecta of toyo losses. First Ovelander 4wdoty goes to land rover disco 3, then Discovery Channel's Ultimate adventure vehicle is awarded to the rover. It would kill them. Matt

From what i read on overlander toyotas don't get bogged, so they wouldn't really need snatching.

And I've never seen a soccer mum in the supermarket carpark using a snatch strap anyway [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] 8)

the correct method of recovery on a toyota is;-
1. connect snatch strap to landy
2. run strap out to toyota, leaving at least a 4-5 metre loop on the ground
3. place shock damper ( mail bag or similar) over strap
4. connect drag chain to strap.
5. connect free end of drag chain securely to front axle of toyota
6. really give your landy a gut full providing similar pulling force to that which would be applied to pull a toyota driver off your sister.
7. one front axle is removed from bog hole, concentrate efforts on gearbox and tranfer case.
8. repeat this process until all components of toyota are removed from boghole.
9 crack the top off a coldie, sit down and RECOVER while the happles toyo driver reassembles his truck.

technically, a snatch strap has not been used on the toyota, it has been used on the landy while a drag chain has been used on the toyo.

hope this helps
