Hells Froze Over

  • Had to run out towards the overlook on Hells Revenge Trail to repair a control arm bracket on a Toyota truck. When we got there it was raining and beginning to snow. Everything was wet and shortly we were soaked. We couldn't just pick it up and carry the vehicle out with the axle not being tied in I was worried about causing further damage to the shocks. So we stuck to welding it together but with the water came the fun of dealing with electricity in the rain. This is the day I got sick and why in the last couple videos my voice sounded rough. Anyway, we finally got it together and the customer showed up to drive it out. We helped him on a couple hills, but it drove out and onto the trailer under its own power. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

    I have welded since 1968. I much prefer stick over mig welding anytime. I worked in the Seattle area in a sawmill as a mill right for about 25 years. I have welded in bad weather, gotten shocked just like you in this video, but I don't think I have ever welded in conditions any worse than this video, my hat is off to you my friend.

    I’ve been electrocuted a couple times just because I was to lazy to go to the panel box, but never been shocked by electricity that will melt steel. Can’t imagine why you would be in a bad mood.

I've had 2 tow truck drivers that wouldn't even load me up on a rollback on the highway when it was raining because they didn't want to get wet. Keep up the good work. Would love to be able to wheel out there in that terrain. All we have here in PA is sloppy sticky mud trails through the woods.

    Hi Rory, Mike, I thought Trail Mater had everything it needs for recovery! You don’t even have a hot chocolate making machine or a coffee making one - Unbelievable, buck up guys. Having got cold on the way out and then getting rained on didn’t help at all especially with a wet back, front and all over. Cold is bad enough, cold and wet is a nightmare. Kudos to you for sticking it out. Stay safe and stay awesome.

    As an electrician for 54 years, a person only gets electrocuted once. Then they are dead, since that is the definition of electrocution. A person can get shocked, as I did throughout my career, without getting electrocuted, hopefully. It is amazing what you are doing with those vehicles. Keep up the good work. Entirely different from Matt, on Matt's offroad recovery. The offroad enthusiasts in your area don't know how lucky they are to have someone with your skills and equipment to call on as needed.

    thanks for showing us the other side of recovery when it's not sunshine, lollipops and unicorn clouds. Epic and professional as always. Maybe it wasn't
    in the video, but carrying a steel wire brush on a grinder and hitting the area where you're gonna weld will make wonders. Not to mention....those 7018 rods hate water
    and humidity.
    I'm surprised Mike didn't go " Hey....I'm gonna ride in the customer's truck to get a different perspective". Code for getting warm. Those conditions were just
    horrid.👍

    Have you considered the cheapest, thinnest plastic tarp you can find with some paracord and the big nail looking tent stakes to create a temporary shed over parts of the rigs in conditions like this recovery? If there is space on the truck to carry it. Think of the tarp as a one time use thing if the price is low enough and bill the customer as materials used. Nice job on the recovery.

    Enough to piss off the Good Humor Man. I swapped a transfer case in the middle of New River once. (We built a coffer dam while one guy went to town to get a spare xfer case.) That was bad enough. Welding in a running waterway is not something I care to emulate!
