That's a tremendous public service you are providing!! Very impressed with not only your work ethic but your knowledge and experience. Keep up the good work!
Man brother I just ran into your channel not too long ago and impressed about how you help people in need I'm always at folsom lake I hope I never have to need you but I'm glad you're out there helping out God-bless you and your family dude! keep up the good work.
Another good day at Folsom. I just received my Kinetic rope and Traction Boards from Rhino USA. I will work on getting some soft shackles soon and join the 4x4 Rescue team. Hope you are having a great time in Florida.
Just hopped in the MD 4x4 rescue. I’ve done a few rescues in the area so this is a great idea. If I’m bored, happy to help and also very prepared for this stuff. Sadly the MD group doesn’t seem to have any 4x4 rescue related content. It’s basically just a group of a few people talking about their builds like any other 4x4 group 😞. Granted, a lot of folks don’t get stuck in MD, but I definitely can’t turn on notifications to get spammed with billys random lift and his opinion on it.
Great video. Thanks for sharing how to do it and where to hook up. Most videos on YT only show how to hook up to recovery hooks. Nice to see how to hook up regular cars that don't have tow hooks.
Love it, the NorCal 4x4 rescue page has given me plenty of off-road recovery to do with the Bronco and XJ over the past year. Especially Folsom lake. I love it so much I’ve started building my “Patty Wagon” (heavily modified FC-150) as a dedicated 4x4 recovery rig for the group. It’s a great way to meet people, have fun, good vibes and do some off-roading without getting way out there. Plus you never know what the day will bring. Good job sir
I bought an FC right when covid started. My plans were the same, but covid hurt my income. I'd love to see yours. Do you have a build or videos or anything on it yet?
As a jeep owner and 5 jeeps I had I sure love this video ! I eventually went back to the 2door wrangler, but Goodrich tires. Ricky mountain high Colorado
Wes if this is what you do for fun.! Brother there’s a special place in heaven for you. I was stuck in the median back in the early 70’s snowstorm the night before. Some guy pulled me out in a brand new Ford truck that still had the window sticker and plastic on the seat. $50 bucks ! Lots of money for the times and a young G.I. Just trying to get home. But I got out and made it home.
Your very helpful.. You're video took me back to remember when I, and my father along with his 2 friends road in the mountain. It was rainy season that day back in 1986. We did not took the risk to load our vehicle to a ferry because of the storm. From our province going to Manila would take 12hours - we made it 18 hours🙄 We got stuck in the mud several times. My father and his 2 friends tied the wheels with a chan each wheels around it, and put rocks underneath the wheels. That's how I've learned when there's no other vehicle to winch another vehicle. I remember our vehicle was FORD FIERA 1984 model - We even crossed the river and lake, almost half of the vehicle sunk into the water,
On the mini van I would have used the winch to getting it out it was so close just me though I recovered back in the day of no snatch straps had the first warn winch produced on my old Jeep . Great video excellent you helping people
First of all Love what you do.. And apologize that this has been expressed, so PSA 14:58 those tires were dangerous on a paved road , just worked with my niece and nephew so they could understand why tire maintenance, rotation and monitoring is so important> Hopefully they replace them soon 18:56 capability does increase with basic maintenance, no indictment just facts and she shouldn't be driving on paved roads with that tire never saw the other three. Hoping they are good and safe
Maybe they were fine before she got stuck and she wore the tread off while sitting there spinning -_- man that is insane. Will go straight off the road if she hits a small puddle of water
In nj we have "new jersey stuck in the mud and snow and need a pull out" I've been pulled out in my younger and dumber days and now I pull other people out when they post. Awesome community!
I am a fellow jerk pirates member. Glad to see my own helping out. I love helping people, but I really hate when they run over my rope, expensive equipment. If you’re ever recovering in pismo it’s actually illegal to accept money for recovery’s because it’s actually a local tow companies turf. There was a big lawsuit the jerk pirates had to go through.
i think its country recovery that has some 3ft long stakes they drive in the ground and hook up a winch to when there isn't any trees and it even works in soft sand really surprised me how good they work
The rhino usa products are good. I use their rachet straps for all my atv's and they hold up much better than other brands I have tried. I haven't tried their kinetic ropes because the size I want they are always out of stock.
Awesome public service...keep it up !! Hope that you told the owner of #4 to go directly to a tire store. Lots of people seem to like to drive over your ropes and straps. Not thinking at all...but if they were, they wouldn't be stuck.
I have a California 4x4 Rescue group but there’s a few other groups that already have things dialed in. Check out So-Cal Off-road recovery, High desert off-road recovery, Nor-Cal 4x4 Rescue and and Nor-Cal 4x4 off-road recovery. Their member counts are much larger than my group.
1st Jeep I've seen with 'No Ducks' on the door. Doin good work though. Wouldn't mind helping the Ky version if you point me in the right direction. Thanks
ouch that lil black kia had noooooo tread on the front tires that'll make it hard to get traction lol also the first month i got my 2020 ranger 4x4 i took it up to mt san jacinto in hemet california and oh man i got stuck in some deep ruts all the way up to the running boards. had someone help out by sticking some max trax under the rear wheels and i backed that baby out in reverse and got on top of the ruts/channels and nearly made it to the end but felt the tires slip a bit into the ruts/channel and said aww shit we're not getting stuck again so i gunned it and basically did the cool runnings luge run down some mud. it was scary and intense and i will always remember that memory XD hahaha.
Those are racing slicks. I think California is the only state in the country with a minimum legal tread depth of 1/32 of an inch. I don’t even think these tires have that. All other states require 2/32 of an inch.
Where did you end up hooking up to the Bronco? If they did have the tow hook that screws in to the bumper, would that have been a good place to pull from? I mean, would you want to use that screw in hook if they were in deeper than that? Seems like a light weight toe point. I’ve never used those.
What kind of wear and tear do you think all those pulls are putting on your Jeep? Do you ever worry something big will break? I've pulled out about 30 vehicles in about 3 years of owning my 2019 Tacoma. I sometimes worry I'm doing too many and something big will break. I cant afford a big repair.
I’m sure you’re already doing this but you’re using a kinetic rope right? Takes away a lot of the shock on the pull vehicle especially with high reps of pulling
Git to ask why do u not use the tow hook that screws in the front bumper and back bumper on alot of those cars u pulled out the hook is where the spair is an works so much easier to atach to
Not really meant for hard pulls or side to side force. On some cars the threads that they screw into are aluminum. Control arms & other suspension components are much stronger.
I use and abuse mine as you can see, never broke one. Anyone that did break one likely is from their own neglect. I’m not sure where you’re seeing bad reviews? Amazon has 6500, 5 star reviews for the tow strap.
IV seen on Amazon comments , tho it's says rhino USA it's made in (China) lol not a problem just need to no if I can trust it . IV gotten my new 21 bronco stuck in mud and brother saved me with d6 dozer and janky strap . Looking for right way to go
