This is of a somewhat technical nature but I'll try to keep it simple, hopefully it will be understood.
The wife caught one of the steps on the 2008 Puma on a rock hidden in long grass and bent it severly. I put a tow rope to the step, put the other end of the towrope to the towbar on the 2011 Puma and inched forward. Result, one repaired repositioned step. I did my best to kept that highly technical procedure simple.  1982 88" 2.25 diesel

You'd best write a "how to" with lots of photos specifying specific angles of pull, gears utilised, tyres fitted, weather conditions etc etc

I'm afraid I cannot in all honesty give those type of specifics. You see it was like this. The great Man in Land Rover heaven spoke to me with the hallowed instructions.
"Thou shalt take thine rope and entwine it around the step that is in need of assistance. Thou shalt then hitch up thine rope to then 2011 Puma chariot. Thou wilt urge thine chariot forward but be sparing of thine horses. When the once comely maiden (some decades ago) who hath perpetrated this profanity on the 2008 Puma step raises her voice to the heavens thou wilt know that thou has urged thine 2011 Puma steed to the limit necessary and thou shalt stop. All will be as before." I just followed the instructions. Can't really accept much credit for it. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
