Looks like a third winch for self righting? Well thought out and executed build, very impressed.


I believe the Dutch were the first to use the mid mounted winch and it was used to allow traverse of seriously steep slopes, without rolling, not for recovery.

Impressive to see them in use.




You may well be wrong this setup has been used for many years in AWDC events Thumbs Up


it was the last millennium that I saw the Dutch using it! 80" 1948

Used to be heavily into the off road scene, organised, took part in and ran numerous events. Some of the early challenge events and international events like the Transylvania trophy. The Europeans were streets ahead of us in development of motorsports, there was serious sponsorship and people could drive off road for a living!

Tidy looking truck, I think it would fail any UK comp regs though for not having the wheels covered.

I'm not sure if that was also what ibexman was thinking when he said this:

It's not exactly road legal

but spec details:

* Custom made removable mud guards
* Removable front wings

and it's listed as having a registration - 806 GER - which woud imply it is road legal...

I'm thinking that the tyres stick out a little past the wheel arches which would make non road legal?

Think of an Ariel Nomad, Caterham, 340R, etc all road legal due to mud guards.

yes but I don't see any mud guards. minor detail granted.

I do wonder whether it's truly road legal or not?

Well one of us would have to ring them up and ask I guess Idea

Although, there's an alternative view that you could run it on the road and just wait to see if you are pulled...

And as for the center winch, I've done a few years of winch bitching and we use our center winch I would say every event and have never had to use it for self righting.
