Morning folks,

I was reading through the thread below about the X-trail, and got to thinking what the best thing to do would be if I came across a bogged/ stuck 4WD/softroader/car with no recovery points?

I am not a snatch-strap kinda guy, i prefer slow and steady recoveries (a 12,000lb winch on the front, with a second going on the rear soon helps that a little...).

What would other people do? I mean, I wouldn't leave anyone once I found them, but I wouldn't want to risk damage or injury to anyone.

I spose the answer is "It all depends.....".

BUT are there acceptable alternative winching points? I'm thinking axles, chasis rails, or I don't know what else..... or is it just better to offer tham a shovel, and brew a pot of coffee.....

Sorry - kinda an open ended question, but pretty relevant I think....

Cheers,

Chump
