i hav seen so many videos of pro n non pros try to recover vehicles by toeing, bt seing first time some body doing it by analysing the condition and doing it in the correct way possible in every situations. hats off to u people for it...
Amazed both of those tow trucks are out there on that dirt material. I've had tow trucks stuck unjust basic grass of someone's front lawn let alone out there where you guys are at. Awesome job!
I ABSOLUTELY KNEW they would snap a cable trying to just hook up and pull it out. GOTTA DIG. Lucky you didn't kill anyone with that cable. Wow just WOW!
Yeah but the Banana and Paul's Taco could not have yanked it loose from that much "suction" of the weight, Otherwise it would have been interesting for sure, Although the 1st video at 1st pull would have been better with the Yankum rope.
Never mind all the bearings & gears oil seals hold oil in water is thinner than oil and it will bring mud, sand etc. In as well total drive line rebuild!!! When it locks up going down the highway...lol...
HELP!!!! I need a wrecker- $300 Off-road recovery + $300 Chassis buried in sand (18 wheeler tow) + $800 4x4 vehicles need flat beds to be towed so send an a flatbed + $600 Tow + mileage? $200-500 New tow hook from 4WD Store $100 Buying a $40k "off-road" jeep only to lose it in the sand....priceless.
@Burr Anderson sorry wrong answer for repairs... Salt damage wiring harness complete replace... Totally rebuilt drive live to remove sand and water alone with new bearings u-joints etc.. oil is thicker than water and water will leak in taking dirt, mud, & sand with it that Jeep is scrap...
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING. They should know the risk. That jeep got owned =) It blows my mind how many calls this channel gets for people overestimating their abilities and vehicles on the beach. KNOW YOUR LIMITS. You will pay for this mistake.
Someone who took to heart the TV commercial of a brand new Jeep driving through the surf at a beach but, never learned the right way to do it. Like, stay out of the water.
I remember driving my 79 Mustang Indy Pace 5.0 4 speed into a sandy area for pictures and it started spinning and started to dig into the sand. I stopped before it was about to get very stuck and aired down the tires some and what a difference it made,,,, the car just about walked out of there like nothing. It had a new set of 89 Mustang GT wheels and Goodyear 225-60-15 Gatorbacks on.
@@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793 scrap now with all that sand inside and out the whole drivetrain tear & front ends, transfer case,. trany, bearings, only way to save it is totally dismantle every part wash it out and reassemble or driving down that highway it's going to lock up and your going out the frond window lol... I've seen it happen before...
Don't want that scrap don't need much . Wiring harness, complete driveline from front to back body full of salt and Sand.. good for about 1 month then scrap
Well, it came out in one piece, so it will probably go across the auction block in a month and end up sold to someone in a different state. Trouble for the next owner.
I love roaming that beach. Only been stuck once. Seen so many people take their cars out there and get stuck right at the entrance. Had to pull two people out the last time I went.
Driving on the Beach is easy if you pay attention to the tides, weather conditions and the drifting of the Sand. Been driving these same Beaches and rescuing folks for decades. Stay Safe Folks!
Technically, fresh water can be cleaned out of everything if you really work at it. Problem with salt water is that it just ruins everything electric/electronic and there is no way to clean it all out. But I agree, a flood is a flood, lol.
Transfer, transmission, wheel bearings, motor all in PARP if not now About 75 miles down the road it will be in park with all that sand in everything lol...😉
I remember a Ford bronco with 34's tires on it. Same as on monster trucks. Buried like this in sand at Hatteras point. Biggest wrecker on beach could not pull it out. Had to get a front end loader to dig it out.
I found an entire sailboat metal detecting. Well, it was all disintegrated though, found 50lb brass rudder, huge stainless steel prop shaft, loads of brass and copper rivets and bolts. No lost treasure though. Just scrapped it. I think I got over $800 in scrap.
Jeep has been junk since the day Chrysler took over ownership and building of them. However, it did help save Chrysler's ass from sinking into oblivion.
Never mind the total driveline rebuild and wiring harness saltwater, mud, sand in all those gears and bearings...scrap... But do you think insurance is going to cover stupidy...
Was later seen on craigslist with this ad: Selling jeep with low miles. Adult owned and properly maintained. Yes this jeep has been babied since time if purchase and will not be accepting any low offers. Never been off road and garage kept. Serious inquires only. Clean title and NO LOW BALL OFFERS.
Love your uploads! I have offroaded every where but the beach always scared the daylights out of me! Especially with tidal flows like that! Keep up the good work!
Did any of you see the tide coming in and this takes me back to the 70’s when I was at South Padre Island there was three trucks holding on to a Jeep the tide was wanting to take it out to sea. 😂
This was not someone getting stuck while driving, this fool parked his Jeep on solid beach at low tide got drunk and forgot where he parked it and the tide buried it. Seen it before during spring break. Too bad nice Jeep
Hill Auto Body & Towing.... whoa dude nothing I said indicated that I thought this was done on purpose, it’s just that your rig & the Jeep look to be on the same plane and if you leave a vehicle on the beach at low tide the back and forth of the tide will bury it.... maybe that’s not the case here but I’ve seen that happen.
Did that to my Fj40 back in the 90's at folsom lake California... the tow truck driver was pissed cause he got his boots all muddy... charged me $200 bucks to pull me out... alot of money for a high schooler back then..was fun tho
actuall it would have worked if I had backed my truck up and lifted straight up . I was too far away and was pulling the tires into the sand at too steep an angle . We didn't show it but the sand was just starting to crack around the body when it broke . Chincy pot metal to hooks .
Get some 4x8 sheets of 1 1/4 to 11/2 Inch plywood to run your rear tires up on. It'll help distribute the weight out and keep your wrecker from sinking.. out here in Wyoming they call em rig mats and I used em doing tank pulls with my 5 ton winch trucks..
I used to run the beaches on the OBX NC I Saw a old Ford bronco stuck in the ramp. The vechicle had 52in tires and it was buried deep enough that you could not open the doors. It took a front end loader to dig it out. The biggest wrecker on the beach couldn't pu
I used to work for Hertz and we had a customer that did this with a Hummer. He called us and said it broke down in the parking lot at the beach, said he left the windows open during a rain storm, that’s why it was a little “damp” inside. Little did he know the tow truck driver who pulled it out of the Pacific the day before sent us the video showing the renter pulling the tow cable through chest high surf to drag the car out of the incoming surf. We sued him for $60 grand, and believe it or not he paid!
Why didn't he lift it right off the bat straight up with the big boom , then drag it out , no cable snapping lol cheap jeep for sale smells alittle fishy 🤣🤣🤣
ninja scout im guessing you don't live near soft sand beach or deal with equipment and clay mud.Its called suction.usually they sink pipes into the ground to pull them out and break suction.in mud I've seen explosives put into the mud to break the suction and remove excavators
@70 Series Tires He did snap the tow hook off at the 1:29 mark, and they cut the video at that very moment. If they have dealt with this before they should have known to hook to both tow hooks because one isn't strong enough.
Could have dug around the first, if suction is an issue, could have killed someone snapping the line, then says on camera I can just snap the hydraulic line, umm your on a beach, pollution.
Calvin H. Exactly. Both tow hooks, then lift straight up to free it from the suction, then pull forward. I was very surprised that only one tow hook was used at first.
You need a digger for that kind of a recovery. That jeep was sunk way to deep to be pulled. The force of that wet sand holding axles and wheels is huge.
I deeply amused by all the arm chair hook operators out there that think it matters if anymore damage is done by the recovery, after the vehicle spent hours submerged in high tide. And if you're having a backlash problem, you need to have something repaired or adjusted. I've never had a backlash problem with a Jerrdan, unless something was damaged or misaligned.
What is done to purge the salt from the lower sections of the vehicle after this? A chrysler product has enough electrical gremlins built in. This will add to the problems later down the road.
Thank goodness I live on the other side of the country and don't have to worry about it, because after seeing this video I would NEVER let these guys pull me out. Look how lazy they are. Nobody dug out the sides, or dug out the rear tires, or even dug out around the sides of the front tires. They're putting incredible stress on a lot of components of that Jeep.
What part of total loss do you people not understand . This jeep is going to be scrapped out , sold as parts . There was no damage other than the tow hook from us pulling it out . The salvage truck that came down to take it to IAA started to winch it up on his truck and his winches barely got it on the deck . jeep was full of wet sand
It's astonishing to me that operators with such equipment have so little training on how to use it; just hooking up to a stock tow hook and trying to wrench the vehicle out with a forward pull??? I'd say you tow boys owe those folks a new tow hook, at the least. To have a wrecker that size and not at least attempt to pull the vehicle straight up into the air, to start with? Please. Stick the F-ing boom out, already and go vertical. You're killing me!!!
Did just that . If Jeep had done a better job building a tow hook not a tow ornament it would have come right out . The jeep started to come up but the ornemental tow hook failed . I did not run bom out at first as it is a pain on this truck to free wheel the cables as they backlash so horribly . The whole winching system on this Jerrdan is poorly conceived
They build a hook capable of recovering the weight of the vehicle attached. It was not intended or thought of to recover a vehicle stuck window deep with the weight of wet sand on it plus the suction. You were pulling at least 1-2 tons more than the weight of the jeep at first to break it free and relieve pressure/suction. Hell even mud boggers who sink dig first if needed so not to break stuff if possible. That first pull may as well have been pulling it through a concrete wall with the extra force holding the jeep back. If its above the horizontal center line of the tire on a dead vehicle lift first and don't pull against the suspension and nature. Its not hard.
Joseph P obviously you have no clue what you are talking about. The time it spent there is the tow company's fault for poor rigging and equipment use. Even then jeeps are built so that you can pull the carpet and floor drains and wash them out even the dash can be soaked down. People drive daily in salt up north. 1 days worth won't kill this jeep. The drive line just needs fluids dumped and refilled. Inside needs washed and the frame and underside needs washed out. 2-3 days of work and it'll be just as good as when it got stuck before an inept tow company left it for dead.
got stuck similar to this in Seaside Oregon once (2 door wrangler) .. took 3 hours and dug myself out barely beating the tide creeping back in (even made friends with a couple of crabs while doing so) no damage was done so i guess i got lucky
I know somebody that did this to a CJ5 back in the day. Replaced some electronics and off it went. Sold it to some poor kid. Completely rotted out within a couple of years bc of salt immersion.
Tie rod ends look innocuous enough, but you are totally screwed without them :) My class of off roader has a nasty habit of breaking the shaft on the steering box :o
I what some wizards please please please please allow me to the next few days ago by the way to get the best of luck to you by the way, I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I have a great day. I am a beautiful person. I have a good idea. I am not a good idea. I am not sure 5 the same time. I am a beautiful person who has been a lot of fun
it's a shame when a jeep knows it's going to die, and it beaches itself. treat this noble beast with dignity
i hav seen so many videos of pro n non pros try to recover vehicles by toeing,
bt seing first time some body doing it by analysing the condition and doing it in the correct way possible in every situations.

Yeah but the Banana and Paul's Taco could not have yanked it loose from that much "suction" of the weight, Otherwise it would have been interesting for sure, Although the 1st video at 1st pull would have been better with the Yankum rope.

Salt water claims yet another victim.....
William Kelley salt or fresh wouldn’t matter in the long run. That thing was submerged
Technically, fresh water can be cleaned out of everything if you really work at it. Problem with salt water is that it just ruins everything electric/electronic and there is no way to clean it all out. But I agree, a flood is a flood, lol.

Wow that jeep is messed up now I would have got a backhoe good video thank you for sharing
Two minutes with a shovel, and back the tow truck closer would have gotten better results. Good way to twist the frame yanking it the way they tried.
Thats what i was thinking, get a steeper angle on the tow cable would have pulled it "up" then out?
Between this show and Matt's off-road recovery show, I'm seeing a pattern between sand and stuck....lol

why would you even try the factory tow hooks. not designed for that kind of pressure. two heavy chains to the frame.
actuall it would have worked if I had backed my truck up and lifted straight up . I was too far away and was pulling the tires into the sand at too steep an angle . We didn't show it but the sand was just starting to crack around the body when it broke . Chincy pot metal to hooks .
They don't make the Jeep tow hooks as sturdy as they used to. used to be about a half inch thick now they are go down to a thin point
Was this a AAA call?
AAA does not cover off road tows . You have to be withing 50 feet of a road .
It was a joke... we get àaa calls like thus all the time from 3a
Get some 4x8 sheets of 1 1/4 to 11/2 Inch plywood to run your rear tires up on. It'll help distribute the weight out and keep your wrecker from sinking.. out here in Wyoming they call em rig mats and I used em doing tank pulls with my 5 ton winch trucks..

Joseph P obviously you have no clue what you are talking about. The time it spent there is the tow company's fault for poor rigging and equipment use.
Even then jeeps are built so that you can pull the carpet and floor drains and wash them out even the dash can be soaked down.
People drive daily in salt up north. 1 days worth won't kill this jeep. The drive line just needs fluids dumped and refilled. Inside needs washed and the frame and underside needs washed out. 2-3 days of work and it'll be just as good as when it got stuck before an inept tow company left it for dead.
got stuck similar to this in Seaside Oregon once (2 door wrangler) .. took 3 hours and dug myself out barely beating the tide creeping back in (even made friends with a couple of crabs while doing so) no damage was done so i guess i got lucky
Not sure what they have for off road towing seaside area .
I don't think even the legendary Toyota Land cruiser could get out of that.
MAYBE the original Hummer with it's self deflate/inflatable tires.
I know somebody that did this to a CJ5 back in the day. Replaced some electronics and off it went. Sold it to some poor kid. Completely rotted out within a couple of years bc of salt immersion.
What about the drive train he must have got lucky I seen my buddy's lock up driving down the road salt in the transfer case & transmission ...
A year later and $5k it could probably crawl it's way out of this.
Tie rod ends look innocuous enough, but you are totally screwed without them :) My class of off roader has a nasty habit of breaking the shaft on the steering box :o
"Trail Rated" but, apparently not "Beach Rated"
That Jeep will never rust. Just plastic. Next time they should get a Land Cruiser.
Well that jeep is good for nothing, saltwater dose wonders for the electronics. Wow!!😢😢😢

What in the sweet fucking schizophrenic sentient AI christ is this?
I normally look for shells on the beach but if i found this under the sand , i would be so happy!
Dig, dig, dig to break the suction and where is the driver? I assume the vehicle has been abandoned.
Michael M Owner probably reported it stolen, since insurance won't cover stupidity.
Looks like another mo-rons from Pennsylvania visiting the OBX .
I got some beach front property in Airizon!
Bloody hell it was well and truly buried!
Should have out more sand over it and a stone RIP JEEP. Salt and Sand stoped me in my tracks ...P.S. I'm not even good for parts now...
A little pressure washing and a quick ad on Craigslist and voila.
I'm sure it's sitting at Copart right now. Go bid and have at it.
Was there a problem with the navigation system that caused it to beach itself?
Freshly washed inside and out
Wow!! Sand does not like giving up on what it has claimed as its' own.
