    Very dangerous, but also very funny.

    Judging by the clothing I suspect it may be very cold.

    I think they achieved their objective perfectly, recovered the only decent part of the vehicle.

    That was clever, not; poor old white Tojo sinking into the sand...

    Any idea where u would attach rated recovery points on a TDI defender.

    I have a TJM Winch bar and cant see where to bolt on a recovery hook?

    I am probably wrong but if the bar is strong enough to pull the car out with the winch wouldn't it be strong enough to have another car pull it out?



    Sorry for the hijack.

    If that was an ARB bar and given that the recovery hooks are bolted to the bar I'd say that regardless of where the snatch was attached I'd say the bar was always going to come off.

    Also the LHS of the bar appeared to be clear of the water so I'm guessing there wasn't a hook on that side given the amount of trouble they had attaching it to something.
