I've heard that you can replace the drive shaft with a pool noodle. That way if you drag it over a rock you won't damage it!

Doing that to mine tomorrow.

I would suggest the brake lines for recovery points.

Make sure to use rubber hoses tho. Stainless steal hoses could snap back and injure someone.

Guys you have this all wrong. We all know the the wipers are the best recovery point. Best if you get pulled out from the front though because there's two to hook up to.

Do you think it'd be possible to fashion an SYE out of Ham?
