Working in the Wild

From Section 3.I - Driving Off-Road - A Pictorial Guide

The aim of the authors has been to produce a no-nonsense guide which can be used by virtually anyone to keep a Land Rover running to maximum efficiency and effect almost anywhere on Earth. It is based upon the in-depth operating experience of Land Rover engineers and users throughout the world over many years.

The book looks at every stage of the working life of a Land Rover - the selection and purchasing of the right kind of Land Rover - how to drive it to maximum effect - how to look after it away from conventional workshops - how to avoid problems - how to overcome unavoidable difficulties - and much more.

When winching and driving, keep tension on the winch wire. a sudden snatch, as the winch wire alternately becomes slack and takes load again, will damage the winch and its cable, and will lead to premature cable failure.
