Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Baie geluk Paul

I have also been on the end of a winch cable just twice in ten years. One of those times, the winch was just a precaution to stop the car from flipping/rolling over. The other time, a winch on my own car would have been useless, as the recovery had to be done from the side. I heve been on the wrong ...

I don't think there's a standard answer here.

It depends on where and what.

A winch is close to useless if you thunder into the Makgadigadi pans alone, but sand ladders are useless if you drown the electrical system in the Khwai river...

When conzidering materials of manufacture, weight is but one factor. Strength, cost and manufacturing costs are also important. If I wanted to make the system from Aluminium, I would have needed to go thicker to make the hooks strong enough, which would have reduced the weight advantage quite a lot....

Mine looks rather ugly compared to the others posted above.

Just a question: does it interfere with the radio, or with the sound system as a whole.

In other words, do CD's etc. play fine?

Many happy returns Gents

I thought the bottom was the funny side...

Bosvark. UHF hand-held, but I use it usually with an external antenna and microphone.

One day I might actually get my finger out my bum and mount the thing somewhere, and as these things go, the next day I will get a built-in radio...

Baie geluk menere!

Hoop dis 'n great jaar.
