Sprinter Van At Night, Brand New Jeep On Golden Spike

  • As soon as we got back to town from Farmington we got a call from dispatch about a Sprinter Van on Long Canyon that was worried about tipping over. So we headed up and got them back on level ground and turned around. I believe the call for the jeep on Golden Spike came in the day before we left for Farmington. We got up there and tried to reset the computer, but to no avail. The customer wanted it towed to the trailhead so they could load it on a trailer and haul it to a dealership since it was still under warranty. His buddy also had a control arm bracket that had broke. They welded it with a trail Welder but asked since we were already there if we could touch is up. So we did. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

    I'm guessing the dispatcher told you it was a brewery van. If not that was an amazing guess. Wasn't quite a man bun but I bet he often has his flowing locks tied in a bun while brewing his craft beers.

      I think those guys watching Rory and Mike on that last obstacle were saying the same thing, except I feel sure that one or two of them were saying 'No way in hell is going to pull that heavy jeep up that!' but then he exactly that. No winch. No crazy run up bouncing off the rev limiter. Just slow and sure feeling for the line and grip and up they went. I guess it did help have that bit of slack in the tow line to be fair.
