I have been in recovery for 24 years. Your equipment was sorely underrated for this recovery BUT the way you utilized anchors, leverage, and additional ballast (vehicles) was quite impressive. I am extremely impressed at your efficiency and cool head during this damn near impossible recovery.
@@hillbillyholler516 Ah. That makes sense. If I was running an assist vehicle, I'd overbuild it too, since it has to do the work of 2 trucks at points.
I am surprised the shocks held up more than anything else. That was all the was lifting the axle out of the mud when he was lifting from the bumper. There were no limit straps on that ZJ.
I work in the car wash business and we would love him to visit. Just remember to shovel the mud to the drain and squirt down the bay before you leave so the next customer does have to stand in mud.
my guess, 3/8th c channel forming the front bumper with 1/2" brackets heading back and be bolted 2 each frame rail by 2 1/2" bolts and than a 3/4" piece of flat stock welded horizontally to the canter of the bumper with a 1" hole for d-rings i have a similar setup strength wise but i also tapped into the frame railes vertically with 2 bolts giving a total of 8 bolts holding it on and mines a little more elaborate with a stinger and power steering box guard and led lights with winch mounted in the center the frame rails will shed before the bumper breaks
I'm surprised it didn't rip the hole front end out of it I use to have a 98 it never would have taken that my hats off to who ever built that good jeep
New to your channel and I got to say, that was quite impressive. Your knowledge of using multiple cables and pull points and anchoring the front of your truck is cool. I gotta say though….I’m surprised that front bumper held in there. Congratulations to the welder that put it on.
WOW... that was interestingly stressful... lol... That old ZJ must have had some unified body strengthening plates added to the front end... I am not telling you what to do or not do, but, the next time that you have one stuck in the suction, have the owner of the stuck rig, dig two holes, one on each side, right behind the front tires... fill each hole with 10 to 15 gallons of water "each"... that sounds like allot of running back and forth, but a few % gallon buckets with lids, does the trick..Once the water is in the holes, already have your rigging attached as it of course will get even more messy, and tug a wee bit, let off, tug a wee bit ,let off, repeat a few times, even though, the stuck vehicle only moves a half inch, and falls right back into the spot it was in. Yes, the water sounds like it would cause the suction to get worse, but, in my years of my emergency recover towing career, that was a trick that was shown to me, by an old timer, and does wonders on not ripping the stuck vehicle to pieces or causing additional stress to the recovery rig. Likewise, if the stuck vehicle needs to go backwards, the holes need to be dug out at the location in front of the back wheels. It was exampled to me like a stuck rusty nut & bolt, and squirting WD-40 and working it back & forth, to get things to slide... Good luck, have fun and be safe everybody... Dru
Eric is limited on what he is allowed to do towing vehicles out of these spots. Its offroad parks and he is not allowed to alter obstacles so he has to tow according to what he is told. At times he is not even allowed to use snatch blocks .
Something to ponder. Using a pintle hitch as an anchor point. If there is any lift on the latch the hitch will let go. Loved seeing a 4 part line used and spreading the load off to another truck!
Thats pretty impressive, first person ive seen run multiple sheeves, snatch blocks, whatever you call it. Whoever welded that bumper needs a raise i thought for sure you something was going to give. I work on workover rigs and its crazy watching the line go through the blocks going up and down, got a fast line, dead lines(ones that dont seem to move) always wondered why move people dont do it this way? Guess they dont have to deal with guys THIS stuck. I subbed you got a hell of a rig
I subscribed today .....I watch Matt's channel also, I've never seen him get a good stuck muddy one yet!!!! Watched bout 5-10 of your videos sat night and WOWWWWWW that tow truck will get through that slop and yank them out of it too 🙂🙂🙂
I'm watching.....the mudhole goes uphill with a flat entrance.....just because you can't get the tow vehicle on top of it doesn't mean you couldn't have pulled it out.....
throw some wide boards under the rear tires and anchor the truck with a tree and out she goes....not up hill ripping the truck in half......and yes that means you get muddy but shit doesn't get broken...he was worried about damaging an already flat tire......and it doesn't matter front or rear winch......either way it's just nice the guy is volunteering his time to do this shit in the first place
The Jeep didn’t know what it was doing. It was torturing its suspension while being dragged out. The whole suspension is probably misaligned, bent, and trashed after this. But the bumper, surprisingly, took the force. Amazing.
Be amazed at the torture they'll take sometimes,,, and how other times the tiniest forces can totally destroy what was once thought to be indestructible
Wow! That kind of mudding doesn't look the least bit fun; what were they thinking? Looks like that Jeep would be better heading to the scrap yard instead of the pressure washer. Great job guys!
Sometimes 10 or 15 minutes with a shovel can make that recovery 8,000 times easier even if you don't dig out the whole undercarriage just getting in front of the tires can make it pop right out
I think I would have given up and pulled it backward. Long travel suspension really fights you on those stepped pulls out of mud. The pull tonnage goes mad so quickly. You need a sky hook :o)
That thing was stuck worse than a tank stuck in a cat tail marsh, those lines where just creaking and bet that jeep lost some serious weight after the wash.
BSF, I wonder if by chance you might have a need for some New, US made winch cable, 3/8". I respooled both of my wreckers Winches with this cable. Not sure how much I have left but thought I'd ask. Asking less than what our economy wants now.. great videos, ty. ATS, Hibbing, MN. In retired now
Bulldozer and a tombstone reading. I was a good truck but today I went to far. Lol she was well in. like other commenters that was one well attached bumper. Good post thanks
In the mudlike that ,would lowering the tire pressure have helped? to ret it to roll up on top?Rory Likes doing that a lot,I know im not there and not operating the tow truck,Great video,Always enjoy watching
Was an amazing video overall and shoutout to the jeep owner for well done heavy duty bearing on all that weight pull. (Legendary bumper of the year). Saw part 1 and 2 but I'm curious, Why didn't you just back up and use that same piece you used to tow it away? Idk if its wrong or right but a shovel, water and that piece would of been alot less stress on those springs no? RIP
Hi my name is Tim Vancura I live in Maryland I have been watching your videos I really enjoy them wish I could came to a invite I would love it. I have a 3/4 ton Chevy in red and black jacked up it's more a show truck but I would take it on the trails. I am a former Navy SEAL and it is camming to me riding trails we have very little trails here I am trying to put together money to get there it would be the greatest thing ever I think it would make me feel so much better I gest very one should have a wish. I looked for your store but didn't find it I am interested in a t-shirt and sicker. thanks for your video and keep it coming it puts me in a good place. Thanks Tim SEAL team 3 💪💪💪💪💪
they absorb the energy of a cable if it snaps so the cable doesn't slingshot into someone's head. only orange though.. any other color and the universe can break.
questions: wouldn't have been better to put some air in those tires? They're both flat. also towards the end loosening the cables and moving the trucks forward and then reengaging might have made it easier...
that just looks painfull. I like 4wd trails and rocks and hard courses but I fear deep mud like that. Not something I every want to get into again. Had 95 Jeep 2d cherokee 120 feet off packed dirt out into a plowed field after a rain.. Paid for that for 2 months getting me pulled out... Never again... Great job.

Larger tow truck with longer wheelbase and two wenches
My 2001 2500 hd 6.6 woulda pulled that sucker free easily if they dug a little before I yanked
@@timothyshort7925 no trucks would have pulled that out
@@timothyshort7925 it'll be another video like that ford pulling that red jeep ripping off the front axle
Kenny C I am wondering why a block and tackle system is not being used?
I'm suprised the front end of the Jeep held. Congrats to the builder on that one.
Thing's probably held on with extra bolts too...Really impressed the shackle didn't give way under all that force.
@@NikkiTheOtter eric setup the jeep as an assist vehicle so its built way above what it should be
@@hillbillyholler516 Ah. That makes sense. If I was running an assist vehicle, I'd overbuild it too, since it has to do the work of 2 trucks at points.

I have NEVER in all my days mudding EVER seen a jeep that stuck. Unbelievable you were able to recover it. I applaude you, keep on offroading!
Yeah Jeep guy Dug himself into a Grave lol
should made a video of the wash down and damage assessment
Alfredo Salazar i would like to see tgat
Alfredo Salazar I'd like to see that too
Biggest pain would be cleaning the mud out of the tire. That front suspension did get a good drop test with the first pulls lol
Yeah, it's worse than just a couple of flat tires.
Alfredo Salazar right!!
This was am awesome recovery. Been following the channel for a while and this is an instant favorite
I was really hoping to see the pressure washing of the jeep. That would've been a great video.
I work in the car wash business and we would love him to visit. Just remember to shovel the mud to the drain and squirt down the bay before you leave so the next customer does have to stand in mud.
It'd been like "honey, I brought yuh a buncha garden dirt...but ya gotta wash it off muh Jeep!!!
@@markgerhart8112 or in my case the other day...horse 💩!! It was county fair last week and it seemed every carwash in town was covered in it!!
Pressure wash them before leaving the park,keep the mud where it was found
Whoever built the front bumper and attached it to the Jeep does awesome work, hats off.
Whoever welded that bumper on is a god
I think he planted that Jeep hoping to grow little Jeeps.

Great job. Love seeing the multiple pulley - and in one older video off-angle pulley - extractions.
Need a weight bar on the front like a farm tractor, you can hang weights on to help keep the front down.
Great job gettin' er done!

That might of been another good video of you guys washing that thing off. lol Great video, keep them coming.
This video is now approaching 3 years old. Rumor has it that man is STILL pressure washing that Jeep to this day!
I wanna know how that anchor point was constructed.
my guess, 3/8th c channel forming the front bumper with 1/2" brackets heading back and be bolted 2 each frame rail by 2 1/2" bolts and than a 3/4" piece of flat stock welded horizontally to the canter of the bumper with a 1" hole for d-rings
i have a similar setup strength wise but i also tapped into the frame railes vertically with 2 bolts giving a total of 8 bolts holding it on and mines a little more elaborate with a stinger and power steering box guard and led lights with winch mounted in the center
the frame rails will shed before the bumper breaks
Just came across your channel seems like something I would do so it all looks like fun! Keep up the back road recoveries! The appreciation is amazing!
I'm pretty surprised that anchor point on the front held up. I bet you were expecting that thing to break at any second.
Whoever built that bumper deserves a tip. ;)
nailed it
anchor points are anchored to the frame, not the bumper.
And that model Jeep is unibody construction. I too was surprised that the front bumper stayed on.
I'm surprised it didn't rip the hole front end out of it I use to have a 98 it never would have taken that my hats off to who ever built that good jeep

Best & fastest method of lifting that jeep out of that half-dried mud would be to use a stick of dynamite!

Nobody wanted to get dirty. Just like nobody wanted to use a shovel. Super smart folks.
I am amazed at the lack of manual labor being used. IE get a shovel out.

same thing I was thinking the whole time
That mud was like soup , it would take you about 4 hours

@@bradywilliams2666 haha it's been there for 2 years without anyone saying anything.
Great recovery. That was one tuff bumper. I am so surprised it held.
Nice part of watching old videos is not having to wait 2-3 weeks or more to watch a series.

I love the videos. but why is there no hats in the store? I love to put on hat and i like to have one of BSF recovery team
ever thought about modifying a wheel lift as a ground spike i had something similar on a roll back

Jezz- what ever happened to shovels and real work!
Exactly
Technology. Work smarter not harder dumbass!
isolated POOPHUT exactly.
Shovel mud is like shoveling water. You will never see the end of it. Not very smart.
Its mud. Not dirt. Ever try to shovel water? Well this would be shoveling dirty water. Ain't guna happen....

@recoveryteam may i suggest removeable weights for your front bumper. This works very well for my "mini" wrecker
You should use a clothes pin or some kinda clamp for those vests!!! haha damn that's a amazing recovery minus those stressful safety vests
I wonder if the Jeep is worth the price of the rescue and repairs ...
In retrospect, would pulling it back out the way it went in have been easier?
I don't know this so Im asking. What were those bags on the cables for??
when we going to see a video of the new aox beam lights being used
Very cool!
Hey what do you charge for the recovery.
No charge when I am at the event.
Good job.
cool rescue, just a question though, why didn't you recover it, by pulling it from the back end?
I would like to see when they wash the jeep..
Wish I could have assisted you out with my Super duty with a twin line set up, pkus I have the 84 cab to axle but she's only two wheel drive..
Badass...i always wanted to start my own business with this in mind..
Seatcover, are you offering to wash that Jeep? lol.
I LOVE Your videos
So what did it cost the customer for the recovery...
What are the orange flags the wrecker operator keeps moving on the winch cable?
they absorb the energy of a cable if it snaps so the cable doesn't slingshot into someone's head. only orange though.. any other color and the universe can break.
What is the reason fo the orange markers or whatever they are ?
questions: wouldn't have been better to put some air in those tires? They're both flat. also towards the end loosening the cables and moving the trucks forward and then reengaging might have made it easier...
I was getting anxiety watching all that tension on those lines. I’m glad everything went safely.
that just looks painfull. I like 4wd trails and rocks and hard courses but I fear deep mud like that. Not something I every want to get into again. Had 95 Jeep 2d cherokee 120 feet off packed dirt out into a plowed field after a rain.. Paid for that for 2 months getting me pulled out... Never again... Great job.
What do you charge for this?
Rule #1: Mud is always deeper than it looks.
Dig a ramp so the diff and axel are not pushing mud! Amazed the anchor held.
is that the winch cable I hear I might start over and use this as a parts vehicle, aint no way you are going to get mud off everything.
Did this man ever enter a mud hole again? I think this tapped me out.
your wrecker would look great with a 76 front clip
How much does something like this cost
No charge
I am really curious what all was broken by the end, and how much was charged to get it out. How much money did this mistake cost the guy?
Could have saved yourself a whole lot of time if you would have pulled it out backwards...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!
I am beginnin to like "The Seat Cover" :)
No video of the pressure washing?
How much does a recovery like that cost?
Americans. If the jeep get stucked in a fresh concrete, you'd probably use a tank, to pull it out.
and that we're a first world country...
@@greg1268 no you are not
Impressive that they got the Jeep running!
Whoever built that bumper outta take a bow
Hurt me watching that rim spin. Guess nonody ever heard of putting air in a tire
