I dont think its in the manual but the on shoe on each side has thicker material on it. Thats the one you use on the rear or hook up to the hand brake cable/plate.
Still haven't had a chance to edit that footage from the Booloomba creek trip I went on, but have a small vid from the weekend. My mate in his KJ and I went out to a few local tracks, thought there was nothing better to do with all the rain.
The vid gets interesting at the end when we find a deep mud hole. I really need a snorkel.
The XJ still hasn't needed a snatch/tow since the tyres, locker & lift.
