George4x4 recovery?

How about patriot campers incredibly obvious, prominent, and in your face camper advertising on ronny dahl(i think), expedition overland, and possibily 4wd action. my memory fogs on some. you get my point. i have also noticed the patriot campers guy acts like american when promoting his stuff on american trips, but when promoting in australia beats the drum of based in australia really really hard.

do agree on overusing fraser island though. surely you could do kangaroo island or different parts of arnhem land. i'd love to see more arnhem land

Yes I know we're going off topic now but those boys could do something other than Cape York and Fraser I can't believe they have such a large following doing only two trips 12 times a year every year and never doing anything different especially when you can see the how much more there is to see.

Let them stay on those two areas. They have already been overused anyway.

Ban them from anywhere else.

As over the top as they are I don't have an issue with that I would just like to see a crew with a big budget relatively speaking and big production Crew do more interesting trips. I don't even need to go to Fraser and Cape anymore I've seen so much of it on that show.

I'm new to 4x4 & recently bought a 4WD & researching various recovery gear, & had similar questions in my mind about George, mainly due to the suspicious grammar on their website & especially within their eBay listings. However the user ratings are almost 100% so that is convincing enough for me.
I came across this Australian Made Saber rear recover hitch which is designed for soft shackles but can also accept steel shackles. The explanation in the video below makes perfect sense to me & so this seems like the one I will buy, as I'd like to avoid using steel shackles where possible for safety reasons. I'm wondering if anyone has used one of these Saber models? I have added a link to the website, and a Youtube video reviewing it.

This product looks good but it's always a bit suspicious when a new member lands on a forum and their first post is a product recommendation. I want to like this product.

I am not a mod so I'm talking out of turn here, and I'm not even aware if you are connected to this product. A forum that I used to inhabit a lot had rules that stated if someone was posting to promote a product that it was a requirement that they declare that they are involved with that product. Not sure if that's a rule here. It's good rule for the sake of transparency.

Your username is a bit over the top also.

Something tells me that such messages are just another spam. When a person wants to be a member of a forum, he will come up with a nickname for himself, and will not take the forum domain as a nickname.

Just purchased a package from George 4x4 - VERY good gear quality and service, they even added three 'freebies' that weren't mentioned in the advert. Plus free shipping. Aussie made, and AS/NZ certified.

What's not to like about that?

I think some of the soft shackles and some of the ropes are Australian made. The messaging on the site is a bit confusing.

Potential guerilla marketing aside, I've bought some soft shackles and a snatch ring off their ebay store and have been happy with the quality and very happy with the price.
