The stabilising thing with the trifors is where I've seen then used more than straight recoveries (lotsa example pics online), I reckon there'd be nothing like the feeling of security when you are sideways on a steep slope with two wheels hanging over the edge of the track, once you hook a trifor up to stop you tipping or slipping further.
This also stops tipping / slipping when winch or towed back on track.
Yeah, many go out without the basics, most very thankful when someone helps them with their gear.
Even if they have the right gear I've helped many that don't know how to use it.
Had one bloke with his wife in a Merc type of 4WD down on one of the
Beachport -
Robe beaches stuck, had been there for 2 hours, no one had stopped, they probably seemed to be ok, were Maxxing up
the beach from down on an angled section of real soft stuff.
He was sitting in the car, his WIFE was moving the Max and then he was having another go.
Expect not enough digging to get them in properly, and he was in high range.
Got him in LR, dug em in for him and directed him to ease out in 2nd, drove fronts straight off them and hit the rears hit too for another bite of momentum, and he drove straight up
the beach, took less than a few minutes.
Thanks to all out there that help people stuck, it's a great part of the 4WD culture that is good to see.
