To be honest Diddy, I thought you were more experienced at 4WD'ing and I had a certain level of respect for you, but reading your post has made me wonder
Now having recovered something the same weight as the Triton, there is NO WAY I would use a tow ball - that's just crazy and extremely dangerous. In order to recover the VW yesterday, I removed the tow ball, and inserted the large D bolt, shackle thingy (ok, girl moment) through the hole where the tow ball was and placed the looped ending of the strap through there.
I can honestly say if I EVER saw someone attempt a recovery, using the tow ball as a device, I would walk up and slap them across the face for being so bloody stupid.
