my Hi-lift being used to change a tyre. in 5 years since I had my Blazer, I changed my tyre only once , sorry I didnt even change it, I reinflate it and I did it with my stock car jack. However, I have pulled and been pulled zillions of times, so now you know why I bought the hi-lift.
Hold on a sec, this is going out of hand the more we go on the more we forget what initially prompted this whole discussion, let's get back to basics :
What we have : a stuck vehicle, a rope with shackles, and another vehicle to tow it.
What we need or the Challenge : a simpler way of getting out or a self recovery technique or equipment, in other words dispensing with the other vehicle, without having to spend more than 3-5 minutes to SETUP the procedure.
proposed solutions (for self recovery):
1- Winch + Sand Anchor.
2- Hi-lift + Sand Anchor.
3- Wheelpul + Sand Anchor.
4- Hi-lift + Lift mate + Sand tracks (Hard not rubber).
Advantages and disadvantages of each system (cost, setup timing, weight, efficiency).
The reason why I added setup timing and stressed on 3 minutes setup, coz it takes less than a minute to hook a stuck vehicle to another vehicle, if the system takes longer, then might as well forget it and use the quickest way.
I like this thread, it's our quest to reach the ultimate self-recovery technique/equipment
after your products are done, I think we would have to conduct the above tests to prove each item's overall efficiency.
