I don't know what is worse .... The jet pilot sticker, the "loose kid" sticker, the famous sticker or the dude in the hat with the silver chain ... Or the stuck Nissan haha.
I see the tow ball thing every weekend on the beach ........and most of them just stare at you when you try to explain the dangers in doing that without trying to offend them ............most often I have to walk away quick as not to be in the danger zone when old mate guns it with all his got ......

I would've stopped but wasn't going to be much help -- no snatch in the JK (Just emptied it).
On the drive back an hour later, I saw a patrol that must have showed up later trying to pull him out from the Navara's front bumper. Not off a recovery point -- around the hoop of the bar. I cringed and pulled over to watch the mayhem.
Of course, the entire front bar turned to jelly an the car didn't move.
I asked if his bar was recovery rated or if there was a recovery rated point on it -- "What's that? I've only had it a week?". Ugh.
His mate in the patrol chimed in -- " its alright I've gotten tougher bogs out" and he went off to take the snatch off the front an move it to another part of the bar. Uhhhhh .... Then I looked where his patrol was hooked up -- anyone want to guess? Tow ball.
I explained just how scary it was. Told him to maybe try putting the snatch on a rated recovery point .... Same question from this guy, "What's that? I usually just use my tow ball".
Needless to say I borrowed his snatch, hooked up to my JK an pulled him out then begged the dude never to use his tow ball again. Scary.
