I got a much better reaction to my comment. and he re worded the auction too, good man.



Mate thats a very dangerous hook, it has been pulled straight, and should not be used as a 4wd recovery point again. check out this link to what it should look like http://www.4wdbits.co.nz/ProductDetails ... oductID=85 posted by: buggerdd (235 ) 1:25 pm, Mon 21 Apr
