    We got a call for a Jeep Grand Cherokee that the upper ball joint mount had ripped out of the aluminum differential housing!
    He was 4-wheeling on a pretty gnarly trail up on Hurricane Mesa.
    We recruited Paul, from Fab Rats for his welder and welding skills.
    • Helping a Jeep get out...
    It was eight miles in this trail so after some 4-wheeling to get to it, some winching to get the axle back in place, and some welding to hold it there, we were able to tow it out.
    The banana got a flat on the way out due to the valve stem getting ripped off.
    Hope you enjoy!

    Keep up the good work, Matt!

The patience you have to do what you do is unbelievable. I know how difficult it can be just to try to figure out how to flip a car back over or a big rig. But you guys take the figuring and the mentality you must have to do this to a whole new level. I absolutely love your channel.

    Watching him welding under the Jeep reminded me how my boss in 1972 set a station wagon on fire, by welding. My boss was a black-smith, but his main-income came from regular iron works like Widows Handrails and other items. I don't think in the early 1970 there was a aftermarket for towing-bars with the towing-ball. My boss was known around town that he could fit a custom towing-bar. Well one day one 1 year old Opel-Record Station-Wagon came in, and my Boss started to work on it fixing it with a towing-bar.
    We had a service ditch normally covered with wooden-planks strong enough if the front-tire was resting on it, the wood would still hold. In front of it there we had some stairs to get down, and at the proper place one would lift the planks out and do the work. My boss had cut all the pieces he needed, I was holding the tube which was going to be the towing-bar. Everything was prepared for the in-place welding done. I was kneeling outside beside the car, while he was welding. The bright light is too strong as welders know. So I was looking outside our garage (the doors open) suddenly my boss yelled fire, run the stairs up, what I do not remember is, if we had a fire extinguisher, I know I was watching it from the outside but somehow he got the fire stopped.
    What caught on fire was the flexible gas line coming from the Gas-tank running to frame of the car. This line was burned by some of the welding sparks during welding. The side of the car was black from the fire, and my boss had to buy the car from the owner, since the insurance did not cover such accidents.

Also the crew that helps you is also amazing, the guys and gals are fantastic. It is a huge family that comes to each others aid and it makes me feel good to see that kind of thing with all that is going on in America right now.

Your whole team of trail warriors is the best.
