Tojos and snatch straps

**RichardK** · 21st January 2005, 11:32 PM

In issue 76 of 4WD Monthly...

Quote"........Toyota has already issued an official warning that snatch strap recovery is not a condoned practice on the company's 4WDs. Now there's a novel concept: the most popular 4WDs in the country aren't compatable with the most popular single item of recovery equipment sold on the market....." unquote

The article also goes on to say later: quote".....Very few vehicles have any sort of load rating on the recovery point. Range Rover is one of the few that does, but even Landrover officially discourages the use of snatch straps in its publications...."unquote

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 :?: :?: :?:

I guess the reply is "Sorry mate, Toyota wont agree to snatch straps to be used on your vehicle so if I do and pull your front end off I dont want to be liable because they wont" :!: :!: :!:

Surely all that burning platic is going to be worse for the enviroment NODDY, perhaps we'd be better of leving it in one peice. Then we could use it like an artifical home for the wildlife, That's if they would use it [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

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.
