Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery - Radical Hill Rolled Jeep 

I’ve been around a bit and that was the most controlled recovery I’ve ever seen.

This was such a great video! Great image quality of an awesome trail and a beautifully controlled recovery by an awesome group of volunteers!

The fact that you guys volunteer the time to do this is awesome. Very well done!

Just wanted to chime in and say thanks to the volunteer crew for both their time and the video footage. As a former EMT, current WFR, and off road enthusiast I consider it all valuable intel. Looking forward to watching other footage of your recoveries. It's super valuable to see to both remind of what can happen and show how to deal with it if it does. To the arm chair quarterbacks saying "how did anyone ever roll here", screw off. Whatever led you to your high horse, I'm sure it was full of close calls on seemingly moderate terrain. If it wasn't you just haven't had a bad day yet. And when you do, you best hope a crew like these guys are around to help.

Love the class 3 reflector vests, and the gently executed recovery on a completely totaled unit. Nice job

Hats off to the volunteers! Good guys and gals doing things like this for free makes wheeling just that more enjoyable... It's great seeing people that are not greedy or money hungry or expecting something for something. Everyone that is saying they shouldn't charge them, shame on you!!! Where is your sense of humanity and good deed???

Great job and been on a couple rescues! Good feeling when done! Sorry for owners!

Props to the Power Wagon driver. Lots of stuff to pick through in a long wheelbase rig.

Living the dream boys, living the effing dream! Can't wait to come back to CO! October isn't far off! And that's were me and the wife spend our anniversary! Every year for the last 4 year's!

I tell you what, you and your crew work very well together. Compared to some other sketchy recovery vids I've seen, y'all kick ass!

I just stumbled on your channel and was thinking, this is wild I've helped recover some vehicle and it is a pita. Usually stuck in the mud which makes it worse. Long hard work and requires a ton of skills, equipment and ingenuity. I was thinking man this has to cost thousands for some of these the recoveries, and then I see you guys are non profit volunteers!!!!! 👏👏 hats off to you guys that's awesome.

I was on top of radical hill last week. I decided to hike down to the cabin. It's not open due to snow. I looked at where that jeep rolled on top and bottom where it landed. Looks like he rolled off where it's the most narrow up against rock on the left. Wow super scary thats steep in that area.

Wow what a awesome group of men and women helping another wheeler in trouble. I have to say and have said it before those A pillars are a hazard on the jeeps. I have seen so many that have rolled and that part of the jeep is crushed. back on to the driver and passenger. even with the brace that goes from the roll cage to the upper part of the frame. Kudos to the recovery team.

You all did a great job and very well controlled during the recovery.

Totally crazy!!!!! Awesome video and superb recovery. Props to you guys. I’m glad the driver is ok. I just saw that a woman died on Iron Chest recently.

Nice video. As an aside, this is EXACTLY the kind of work the Power Wagon is built for!!!

Good job, you guys really know what you're doing. I guess you could salvage the wheels/tires.

I hope this goes viral, more owners of these bolt together jeeps need to see this.

The owner had some loot in that Jeep. He’s definitely going to need a new radiator and an alignment. 🤣😂 glad to hear he survived that looks really bad.

Really cool watching how the team worked together to safely recover that jeep. Looks like somebody had a seriously bad day.

Wow. I still don't know how people roll them. I have driven 4x4 for years and never even came close. Glad you guys can help.

Looks like the start of a good buggy project

That'll buff right out....Good teamwork guys.

I rolled a ‘66 Bronco completely upside down. No roof and no doors on it. The roll bar almost killed me because it pinned my jacket, but it saved my life.

Nice recovery, well coordinated. Good example of how poor those factory installed roll cages are. Looks great, but in an extreme roll-over worthless.

Speechless. You guys rock!

I grew up in Summit, we used to wheel all those trails in my FJ40 and my buddy's Blazer. All the trails around central CO are so crowded these days, makes me want to give it some times.

Been there several times, never wrecked a vehicle there, but they are right on top of the site of a plane crash , an F-93 starfire crashed there in 1953. if you know where to look there are only very small pieces left to find.

He was real lucky to walk away.

Hopefully there were no severe injuries or fatalities. Nice work and video!

I just love the sound of the wind distorting the mic.

Very professional ,well done !!

I love how the aftermarket parts look brand new. That front bumper seemed to have no damage to my untrained eye

Chassis looks fine. That guy was very lucky to survive that roll

I remember this posting from several years back. I loved learning from It. I went to try to show new comers to Colorado, and the roll over footage from this incident seems hard to find compared to what it was

Gently used jeep for sale. New paint!

Good work gentlemen. I hope that I never have to call you guys.

Thumbs up - nice editing. Good use of fast forwards.

Its called Karma... Be nice and help if you can, And People will be nice ( and help you ) If needed.. I see this every day.. And Practice it....Every day....Try it it won't hurt, I promise. :o)

So good to see good people in this world.

Good job, we need a team like that in southern Nevada

The rolled Jeep is a good parts car now!!!

I think your videos are interesting, but sometimes you fail to describe your rigging and theory behind why you are doing it that way.

good to see ham radio being used.

One very lucky guy and dog as well !

Not saying people are wrong for making recovery a business as we all need to eat, but some recovery outfits are opportunistic vultures, so what you guys do is awesome. It probably gives you a sense of accomplishment as well and you’re definitely putting good kharma out there. God bless.

Y'all do it right for sure.

This recovery crew did a GREAT job. Nice work! Great volunteer efforts. They deserve a hardy round of applause. However, for all the viewers of this recovery, a quick note. It is best NOT to use your Kinetic Energy Recovery Rope (KERR) as a tow rope. In this video, the crew used a really nice (and expensive) Bubba Rope (at least that's what it looks like) to tow the disabled vehicle once they have it back on the trail. If that is the only rope they have to tow with, then "What Works is What Counts." They had to use the KERR to tow. But (and here's the big BUT), if they needed to tow the disabled vehicle several miles with the KERR, it will no longer be any good as a KERR. You see, nylon fibers (what a true KERR is made of), will TEAR over time and under a load, rendering the rope unable to stretch and then return to it original length. A KERR can only be stretched for a short period of time (such as a "yanking" recovery), then it must rest, allowing it to return to its original length. Here's the poop: KERRs should not be used as towing ropes, as they lose their stretching capability after prolonged towing. If you must tow with a nylon KERR (or Kinetic Energy Recovery Strap - KERS), retire the rope as a yanking device. It is now an expensive tow rope. If you must tow someone out of the backcountry with your KERR, do it. Just let the fellow you towed out purchase you a new KERR. The only true TOWING style rope made for off-roading is the Black Rat 4WD Polyester Towing Strap, made in Australia. This is a bungie-style tow rope that is excellent for off-road towing. You can get it in the US from Extreme Outback Products here: www.extremeoutback.com/.../Extreme+Outback+Towing...

This an fun trail but with multiple trucks, cannot go alone forsure

That will buff out! Seriously it's a wonder it didn't keep rolling I'm sure the hill is a lot steeper than it appears in the video.

Awesome job!

12:45 shows stock roll bars are not adequate...good work and this guy is one lucky dude!

You guys rock! Sure enjoy your videos. Thanks!!!

Awesome team effort!!!

Thank God everyone had their bright vests on for all the traffic on that road.

Good job on the recovery guys 👍

I love the fast forward chipmunk talk : )

Wow, looking at the Jeep, I wonder how in-the-world did the driver survive. I survived a rollover, partial ejection at 65 mph but walked away with only road rash on my back between my shoulders in 2004. I had Angels looking after me like the Jeep driver did.

how did i miss this video, pretty intense

In my day '70s - '80s in Summit County we used a Holmes 440 on a GMC 1 ton frame and 2 guys + salvage rites No Problems

Sorry for your loss.

It's a Jeep thing.

Great recovery. Seemed odd to hear someone yelling winch line instructions when every one was on radio. Why not just use the radio?

Nice work guys.

Nice job. A real team effort.

Swap out the wipers, buff out a few scuff marks, and she is brand new.

Those kinetic ropes have really shot up in price.

you can now find this vehicle on the back, back row of CoParts..and you can bet there will be an inflated price for this bits and pieces..

Well done folks

Great team work.... 1000000 likes

Hoping all involved were ok. Just curious, anyone know if your car insurance policy will cover damage/totaling of a vehicle the it happens off road or on a trail?

Nice restoring project...

Was he trying to go up the hill or down the hill? Looks like he went end over end.

question: do you guys ever have to do like “rescue” like first aid or anything like that? Are you ever called to help with other agency’s? Please do a video explaining some of that! It’s super cool!

That'll buff out. What a beautiful trail.

Skillfully done.

roll cages are awesome

NICE WORK AGAIN!

great job on the recovery,, motivated seller submit all offers.

Nicely done.

Not sure why you felt the need to capitalize NON-PAID, but you've probably had somebody criticize you in the past. Too bad. I've spent most of my adult life in the outdoors, and anybody who doesn't think what you guys do takes tremendous skill and discipline is just ignorant. I've watched your other videos. You guys are all consummate professionals, with skills that you can't learn in a classroom. Great work. You should all be paid!

Really impressed by your skills. I'm jealous 🙃

pretty sure that is going to VOID the warranty, hope nobody got hurt

Looks like you forgot a orange strap on rocks at 10:05. Especially if you paid 170.00 ish on them. Great video and teamwork.

Nice work guys!

Sometimes just because you can does not mean you should... 98 TJ

Good video....nice work..

Oh my God. That poor Jeep. I'd be devistated if it were mine that happen to. Oh man...

Thanks for sharing!

how do they get it down the mountain? Helicopter?

Good job guys

First and best tuning to doo ,a "real" rollcage.

Nice team work.

And that’s why you stick to the trails ...

Anyone notice the orange strop, left behind on the edge of the hill, did not see anyone collect it.

i would love to find that trail. just nothing like that in the east cost

did any of you check for brown spots or tears in driver's seat?

Outstanding!

That was cool thank you!!

Great job fellas
