A recovery of something not running that needs towing is a recovery...and helpful too Robby, The Boss, Hillbilly and Steve. Good on ya' for taking care of it for the We the People and the Forest Service. NEXT! ;)
I'm excited for Fred's restoration. It's so great that y'all are taking old girls and restoring them. New vehicles are nice, but there is nothing like the old stuff having new life being breathed into them. Ryan would be proud.
Casey always outs a tarp over the front to stop the wind blowing through when he does the public land cleanups with abandoned campers. Might be something to try for next time? You guys are great to watch and its always fun to watch form Australia. Cheers kids
My father-in-law used to scrap metal. One of his main sources was an RV center that gave him units like this one. When he would turn in the aluminum from those RV's he often left with a check for around $4,000. It is worth stripping the metal off before you take the rest to the land fill. The trailer frame has value as well. It might look like junk, but that junk is worth a few dollars if someone wants to take a little time to strip it down.
”Ol’ Fred” on it’s first recovery. 👍 I think Hillbilly and Steve would be an awesome wrecker team helping people out! (But i would imaginge some destruction and a LOT of laughs.) And Robby.... Demri absolutley deserve that bronco! She has to put up with all the craziness that you and Hillbilly come up with... 😊
Well that's a bit of a fixer upper, 😢👍, straight to the salvage yard that is, and hillbilly got his first bling clock 🕒 all shiny like chrome, except mine wasn't shiny and chrome. Have a good week and count your blessings amen.
Cleaning up the National forest is the best thing about this video. You need to set up a program for your area cleaning up public lands like Casey Ladell over in Oregon.
Fun little video. I assume that is still the hydraulic winch in there, and I wouldn't bother switching that out if it works good. Paul needed something fast for the wrecker games, but in real duty, its fast enough. Also, you want your residual bleed of power figured out in that rig, or disconnect the battery each time with a main power switch, because you need the Batt. to be hot and ready, at all times, and if you are jumping it each time you are going to be going thru a dozen batteries. Figure out what light is on, or just put a battery switch on it which is a lot cheaper than buying batteries all the time. It's a nice little tow truck.
Hello Mr. Robby: Suggest a few upgrades. The luxury truck headliner is perfect condition, normally seen is a exposed rusty metal, no doors, no rear window, cracked wind shield, chain steps, welder unit were the radio goes, 6 winches, cluttered tool box, 4 each shift levers with end wrench handles, 8 ball broadey knob, Cab seat way not new. Keep these great videos going.
If the wheels would have been missing, damaged, or would not air up, then the wheel dolly system would have been able to help take the damaged trailer out.
It wasn’t “not” exciting . I enjoyed watching it and also I’m glad that someone is willing to pick up trash that others just go off and leave! Good job!
Need to buy a air compressor and welder for the Wrecker this way you can weld and air up vehicle's if you's need to. Good job at cleaning up the woods.
Lived in Castle Rock for thirty five years. It was a small town between Denver and Colorado Springs. I say it was a small town because it grew like crazy and is now a bustling community off I-25 and crowded as heck. I saw your wreck for many years running around town but, it was replaced by much bigger wreckers. Recovery went well and you guys rock on community service. Thanks for caring.
Great job helping to keep the parks clean. The wrecker is going to be a game changer for you all. BTW, this would have been a great one for Bigfoot to show up, because if you Google "Bigfoot capital of the world", Willow Creek will pop up. Okay, it Willow Creek, Cali, but still.. 😂
Any excuse to go out on a beautiful day, play with the trekker and an old ford wrecker, while out in the woods is a good day, and its doing a good thing for the forestry service and the continued public use of that land. Its not a crazy exciting video, but i like watching them anyways 😁
Robbie.. you need a set of trailer lights for the wrecker. Also there should be a pin or locking mechanism that locks the swing arm in the straight position when you retract it... I'm an ex tow truck operator here in Melbourne Australia..
Love your new toys and adventures 😍. Keep it up 👍. Robby you may want to think about keeping the tow dolly on the wrecker. If the camper had flat tires, you could used them 😅
Great Job getting that old trailer out of the woods, Robby. I’m sure that old Ford Wrecker is going to make a great addition to your Recovery Fleet.. thanks for your work in cleaning up the woods. Layton Nation is Awesome... MWP Cosby, Tn.
Next time you do that type of recovery take a roll of plumber's strap and screws with you to help secure loose panels in front where it grabs the wind. Also you can see if the dump will use their equipment to flip trailer on its side then you can sawsall or un bolt axels easily. Keep up the great content guys n gals!
Love these old wreckers. I ended up putting a 12 valve cummins in mine. This was the best move I ever did with my 95 f350 wrecker. Went from 6 mpg to 17 mpg. And enough torque to idle up everything. Switch to a 1 wire alternator so will not be dead when you need it. The 460 auto will do the job but the mpg is horrible. Always upgrade to a hayden severe duty fan clutch on these. We also use a/c condensers for trans coolers. Like a uhaul put a spin on filter inline on the trans cooler lines. For hard working trucks. weld two trans pans together to be extra deep and put a heater core inside the bottom pan hooked to your coolant lines. Water cooled trans pan with ad years to your transmission when working a truck hard. I have been doing this stuff for over 40 years.
OMG, the wrecker is from my hometown! I might have driven it. No, I didn't, the number on the side of it doesn't Match. So cool to see something from Castel Rock Co. from the good old days. (Before you were born) You guys are GREAT.
I don't live in a area that I would need a off road map! But I would like to vote for Demri, she deserves a 72 Bronco! That was a good 1st recovery for the wrecker! Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next...
PLS BEND Oregon does Deschutes Forest cleanup. Casey Ledele and many others haul old RVS cars and trucks out of the forest.personally I have been on many cleanups working from 8 an to 1 pm, 10s of thousands of pounds trash 3 or 4 times per year. A worthy volunteer effort. Thnx Layton crew......oh, and Mrs Layton!
