Sorry not to get back on this before. Nasty case of Yaw. Where I'm from its known as texting while towing. Will add a paragraph so you can avoid this problem ;)

So you are saying that that 4x4 Recovery Bible you got for xmas is your favorite doorstop?

Unless you are committed by your sponsors to cross the "Darien Gap" you drag the vehicle backwards. Seriously, this is about safer recoveries.

Blue, Wilt & Craig: Add what? A whole bunch of unknown variables? fook dat get me outta here quick Yup stick a rope on drag it out. What's wrong with that? Do not panic! Pamphlet has more pictures than text!!

Another image from the pamphlet to entice people!

Hi Wilt, "your compilation may only have sections that appeal to certain people,so 90% of it could be useless to one person and not another,so said individuals could just cherry pick from tinterweb themselves" I have found the web to be a bit of a haystack. Thought I'd share the needles I had...

Thanks Ratty, Did not think to add water i.e. semi submerged vehicle factors. Happy to add them if anyone can give them to me. This pamphlet can be expanded if people want.

I compiled it from sources available on the web. The idea is to concentrate the info and share it. Thought people might find it useful. I enjoyed compiling it! No profit motive involved! As to my experience, I have owned my RR 1975 for 12 years. I go off-road / off-asphalt fairly regularly...

Feel free to comment. Should I have posted this under another section? Come on guys!

Hi, I just finished compiling a pdf on Off-Road Vehicle Recovery and I would like someone to take a look, give opinion etc… File is 6 MB My email is mapologo@gmail.com If anyone would like to volunteer send me your email Thanks PS This is one of the diagrams I drew for it.

Still here. Thanks for looking in. Compiling a .pdf pamphlet on Pulleys and stuff. Will advise when ready. Perhaps someone can give me an opinion on it!

Found the answer: 18 to 20 x wire rope diameter

Hi to all. Joined to ask a specific question to which I have been unable to find an answer. What diameter pulley do I need with the 11.5 mm wire rope from a Tirfor TU-16 ? Thanks
