Don't use your bullbar for a recovery

[KingBilly]

Two mistakes

1. Forgot to apply his handbrake
2. Attached recovery strap to his bullbar

Plus don't buy a sh1+e made alloy bullbar either. That welding didn't look to good.

Look at the (Lack) of welds when they pull the piece of bar out. Clear as.

Thanks Shane beat me too it.

Geez!  We all learn via the school of hard knocks, but that one's a hum-dinger!

Not surprised it failed when you see how fast they pulled it out. When submerged it would be about 5-6 tonnes and aerodynamic water dynamic as an anchor

[Black Diamond]

No wonder they call them a Tin can bullbar, how piss poor is that welding

Baby come back!!!!
Clearly not a quality Toyota owner like the one's I know

[muzza01]

I agree, the bar looks 5hite.
Surely a tow truck driver would know better than to try and pull out this vehicle by the top of the bullbar especially being the vehicle weighs twice as much as it is full of water.

I like the way the news girl is standing just by the recovery as the car is coming out of the water and says that "No one was injured". The recovery wasn't finished yet and the ute was gonna get heavier.

Hand brake on....hand brake off. Same same. It's a Toyota.......

Totally missed that  . My bad. Yep, agree, rubbish weld.  But it would have looked great in the showroom 

Thanks also FSS

As a Toyota driver I don't even bother with the handbrake, I just leave it in gear.  Toyota handbrakes are purely for decoration.

Ain't that the truth.
Even if you pull it on so hard it's touching the roof liner it still rolls when you put in the clutch....then again comodores are worse!

[JD-120]

you are doing it all wrong, the handbrake is for cornering

[robbo1172]

I don't use handbrakes, they don't make you go faster...

[dales133]

Lol

I liked one of the comments left on FB.


"For sale. Cheap hilux. Only done 1/4 nautical mile."

If you watch this ad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0EpbzPBkuw I reckon there is a good case for false advertising from Toyota. Perhaps the owner should make a warranty claim.
