Dwarf throwing !

Had a 4x4 response call out today and encountered another PC HnS quandary

How does one "boost" a 4ft nurse off the ground into a lifted T2

Just what do you grab hold of

It's even worse on the way down, in a sort of "Catch the baby" way

Think I'll rerun the winch like a helicopter rescue stylee

I bought one of those small plastic folding steps, about £2.99 from Home bargains, for the mother in law so she could get in the back more easily,

Helps an old disabled lady, so would help someone who is vertically challenged.

Milk crate !!

The new milk crate...cut off top four lugs...perfect for the job.

Had to get something last year for getting our mothers into my truck, which is higher than Terrano.
Plus we have a dwarf in the family and no I am not Santa.

well troll even with side steps is taller by bit than recall terrano was.

so mum in law has one of those fold up steps to fill gap, then it
collapses flat and can go behind her ankles or under front seat even.
