I would 100% recommend not doing it at all unless using it for both wheels. even then, a lot of load will be put onto the center diff as they cannot be lockedQuote:

Front drive shaft strength and failure point test - check. :angel::wasntme:
It was a good effort. Great to see you testing the L322. You should try to put up some YouTube vids to show their capability.
The strap on both wheels is called a Bog Out. I have one and a friend of mine used it to get his Ranger and Kimberley Karavan out of a bog in the south west two weeks ago. The trick with the Bog Outs is to go very slowly and not let the wheels spin uncontrollably, especially until the tension is taken up evenly on both wheels.
Just googled Bog Out. What a great bit of gear! Given that the vast majority of winch recoveries are just a metre or two to get to firm ground, they would be near perfect.
Sorry to hear of your RR woes. Hope you get back on the road soon enough.
OUCH!!!!!!!
Go hard or go home:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

My biggest worry is that In my attempt to self recover, ive lunched the torsen diff in the transfer case. I cant pull this down until ive got the engine back in its place.
ideal world would be changing the diff out for a mechanical coupling to select and deselect front and rear drive. but hopefully its just the chain that has stretched.
