    As an old Towbum I would suggest you learn the benefits of using Snatch blocks. Not going into the math but if you were to add a Snatch block to the stuck vehicle which would allow you to run your cables back to the truck you're doubling your pulling power.
    If you really want to get the stuck out add hydraulic down force cylinders to "stab" into the ground.
    We built a recovery vehicle on a Jeep cj. Took a heavy winch off a heavy wrecker and added two hydraulic cylinders to the back. Worked well.

    @brattleborotowing Рік тому +15

    A few recommendations
    Put line locks in to anchor better
    Get scotch blocks that tie off the back of your truck to anchor you better.
    Install d rings on your rear bumper for extra tie offs. When you first started pulling at a distance if you went from the boom to a snatch block and back to your rear bumper, it would have created more of a rear pull with your truck bust still created a lift.
    Also some rim slings / continous loop would have made a huge difference. Park close lift the stuck wheel and it would have popped the front right out. Good content just trying to make life easier

    It's nice to see the Rat rod tow truck working again. You really need duel's on the rear like Trail Mater's It'll help stabilizer the rear end give better support on the rear. Yes when they're stuck deep in mud the only option is winching as you found out on this recovery. Good thing Tucker brought his truck you needed the anchor on the front. Love seeing Ben helping!

    I've been saying it for a while now, that truck needs outriggers in the rear, it's too light upfront to get full functionality out of the boom. The electric winches may be faster but the hydraulic ones were way more powerful, they could have been sped up by putting a higher flow pump on the truck.

      Traction pads and a shovel would've been completely useless on a job like this. What they needed was a heavy rig like Matt's and a k-rope. They should've gone backwards too so the trailer didn't go through the mud
