@maoherrera73 -- "2WD just allows you to get stuck in places that you shouldn't be without 4WD. 4WD just allows you to get stuck in places where you shouldn't be without also having a winch." 4WD and a winch just allows you to get stuck in places where you shouldn't be without a tracked vehicle. And even tracked vehicles can get stuck -- thus the Army's need for tank recovery vehicles." In the end, no matter what you have, there is *somewhere* that you can get stuck.
I think people get a head of themselves. They get a lift and some tires, then its off to conquer the world. (This is my nice way of saying something else)
@@Nothingtoya Could not agree more. My little jeep went, winch first, lift second and tires were last. The icon on the left shows my jeep back when. Notice winch, no lift, and small tires.
Jake, I must disagree with you to a point. I like to travel during the week day. This means fewer people to rescue my ass. Recovery gear is the most important. A good winch being number one. Recovery points only help if there is someone there to help you recover. Ok, I miss spoke. Number one most important piece of equipment is a good working brain. Do not drive down a goat trail and expect a good outcome.
@Chris Valin Si,r I I have been 4x4ing for over 40 years. I have never been in a situation where the natural recovery points on a Jeep were not sufficient. These include axles, shackles and tow hitch. Then again I never drove into a mud hole that I could not self extract And yes, I have driven into a few mud holes . This is why I say number one important tool is the brain. Never go into a situation that you do not know the consequences. Saying, turn around and do not drown comes to mind. Given your response, I am guessing that your obituary will be soon.
There Are Recoveries And Then There Are Recoveries By Engineers. There Was A Lot Of Science Involved In That Recovery. Beautifully Done. Also As An Immigrant, This Is Another Example Of Why I Love This Country So Much. Not Many Other Places That Would Go To Those Lengths To Help Someone Out Like That. 🇺🇸
You guys display extreme professionalism in your work, especially considering the penalties for failure in an operation this dangerous. Your rigging is well thought out and you stay flexible as the operation changes. This most important thing is while everyone gives input every individual has their task and sticks to it as the shots are called by one person. I detect military experience and team work here. Seen it and been part of it many times. Nice Job!!!
I really like how you guys do these rescues safe and professional while having fun, and you worry about taking care of nature as much as you do getting the rig out. Thanks for taking us along for the trip. Love your videos!
Job well done gentlemen! Impressive team work, clear communication and safety practices. No pissing matches or butt hurt to be found. A true professional organization!
I need to come out your way and wheel with you guys! Not much in IA to challenge a Jeep except for mud. I love what you guys do - thanks for sharing this and I hope I never have to call for your help.
David Wallace I hope the owner pays it forward for having these guys spend their Memorial Day getting him or her out of that jam. Bravo for their selfless work.
The thing is this: for some odd reason video and still pics always make terrain seem practically flat. You look at a clip and say "Jeez, my grandmother could drive that in her old Civic..."
Early on in my XJ off-roading days i made that mistake of taking a trail that got skinny. At some point, you gotta be smart and realize you ain't gonna make it, don't risk it you fool, lol. I can still find the marks (scars) on the body from that and it was nearly 14 years ago.....you live and you learn.
I ended up in a similar situation years ago but i was facing upwards. Ended up lowering myself down the cliff with the winch and took forever to find my way back to the parking lot as i had no clue where i was at. Was pretty freaky looking almost straight up and thankfully my welds on the winch bumper held. Cool video
@@tylermorris9196 they're volunteers, it's free. This kind of job would be probably in the ballpark of $2-3k due to the risk involved, the gear needed, crew needed, and time invested.
Impressive recovery! Though I wouldn't venture down a narrow trail with sketchy shoulders; if I did get into trouble, I'd be lucky to have a crew like this to assist.
That could have been so much worse without such a competent recovery crew. It's a good thing the object vehicle and it's occupant(s) weren't out there alone- and a great example of why I never do go anywhere sketchy off-road alone if I can possibly help it. Spotters save lives (and snorkels...and fenders...and bumpers....and tires...and trees...and- well, you get it...).
You guys are awesome for doing these recoveries. Too many XJ's here in Colorado with ZERO recovery points on them. Absolutely blows my mind. Can spend all that money on tires and a lift, but can't take the time to scour ebay or facebook marketplace for at least a trailer hitch and front hooks...
I am fairly new to winching and rigging. As you guys do amazing recoveries for peaple you are also teaching others how to winch, and how to do it saftly. You Vids are so informative and and priceless. Thank you so much.
A definite share with my crawlers group. Great recover gents! If I ever come out that way, I'm gonna keaster a lump of coal. Should be a pristine diamond at the end of the day! lol
What a fabulous job. I have a small fraction of this gear (snatch blocks, dewalt impact drills, synthetic line on winch), and looking at the assortment of recovery gear in this video is quite exciting. I've read that joining straps with a bow shackle is a bad idea, to use soft shackles, but clearly it worked out fine here. Amazing job. Beautiful area.
Joining straps that way is bad yes. Cables or ropes is different. You'd never get the straps apart without a soft or hard shackles, or a stick or rolled up paper works great too.
Outstanding. Having just purchased a home in Saguache County I hope to join up when we get out there. Former USN A/C SAR swimmer/Crew Chief. Former Clackamas County Oregon Sheriff's 4X4 SAR auxiliary unit member. Current ACA L4 SWR card holder. Dare to care!
Just about as nerve-wracking as driving a vehicle on the parapet of a sky-scraper. Incredible job done by a well-coordinated and disciplined team of professionals!
Very nice rescue. And i have to say, while I think anyone that goes on a trail Without recovery points is a fool, i do appreciate the fact that at least on camera, you don't bash the owner of the vehicle for that. Or for driving an XJ. I know they aren't that loved, i've been driving one for 18 years. It is still a Jeep, in the right hands, it will go and go and go. And again, great Recovery!!
That a lot of people for a relatively straight forward recovery. I use to run a towing company and was also the recover manager and instructor. I am wreckmaster level 7 certified as an operator and level 4 certified as an instructor. In my experience having that many guys on one job can be chaotic, especially if some of them are inexperienced in recovery. For a job like that there should be 3 guys doing the recovery. Everyone else should just stand back and stay quiet so the operators can hear each other and also listen for certain sounds that could indicate an problem. Overall, that was a pretty smooth recovery. That person is very lucky that they didnt go for one hell of a ride! Glad no one was injured.
Towards the end of the video seems like it was the most difficult part of the recovery. On my wrecker I had 2 winches on my boom to do exactly what you guys did with the two rigs that had one winch each. Well done. Good job with your rigging. That's not something that comes easy. Only way to get good at rigging is with experience.
I am a Jeep enthusiast and I have 2. JK 14' and my loved XJ 98' Both modded for off-road capability. I'd literally die if that happened to me. I off-road the JK and light trails with the Cherokee.
You guys have an amazing team! Great work, super safe, and well communicated. #TeamRideRevival will be watching this video over and over. Thanks for posting!
Nicholas Andrews Sorry if you’ve already answered this. I started reading all the comments but there’s too many. I’m curious if you guys are volunteer or if you’re a paid service.
Do a lot of these back country cruisers not scout the trail ahead of them on foot to see if there are any impassable sections ahead? Maybe I'm overly cautious but I find myself often walking ahead to make sure I can get through a sketchy spot or to make sure I can turn around if the trail becomes impassable. But then again, if everybody was cautious and used good judgement, y'all be out a job. Keep up the good work!
well the owner was out wheelin without any recovery gear or recovery points on his vehicle so do you think they are doing the prudent thing and scouting? I don't...
I believe the line is, "Stupid is as stupid does." The very fact that Colorado 4X4 Rescue and Recovery exists proves it. I believe the proper way of saying it is, OMG!
Great job to all involved, the only thing missing was weights over the joins in your recovery units. Food for thought for "SAFETY" winch rope needed a weight on either side of the Bow shackle just encase it broke the same over the chain near the hooks. If they give way/ brake they will release with such force that it may seriously injury anyone in the path. They will recoil straight back at the car winching and damage either vehicle or the driver. Kinetic energy build up. I only say as 1 of the rescuers @ the 25:55 mark was standing in the firing line up the hill at the rear of the Jeep when it was pulled to a flat surface. This was after you repositioned your recovery gear. Other than that EXCELLENT JOB again to all involved
Adding Mass to a line like that is actually a controversial topic. There's plenty of videos out there showing line failures hurling that damper through windshields etc. We calculated the pull and was inside the limits of the gear including safety margin.
We need to get you guys some soft shackles so you're not using a clevis to link straps together...I enjoy watching your guys' videos, seeing you spot for each other and seeing how you recover vehicles is always good secondhand knowledge to have...
members have various pieces of equipment, some times for safety sake we run the hard shackles, the really good crosby ones have a minimum 5x safey margin on them. so technically they are safer than soft shackles. but my personal preference is the soft shackles for combining equipment together.
@@JustinKingOffroad It's not the shackle I'm worried about, it's the weight going through the air when one of those straps fails...that is something I never want to see again, and I hope nobody else has to see it...
@@AJvsEverything absolutely!! We are all trained by an I4WDTA trainer, but you can never prepare for everything. We are pretty strict about worn equipment, but failures can happen at any time!
Great rigging but for some reason I felt like I was the one backing up, that fella probably held his breath about as long as I did watching that. good job by all.
that was better then most thriller movies, my chest is pounding 100 miles a min. I think I need to go to the doctors lol, gotta change my drawers first
Very well done! Justin, once I get my Jeep Rubicon, if any help is ever needed from me, just let me know. I live in Sterling, so I might be a few hours out but I am always willing to help. I grew up off roading in Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada and have always helped fellow off roaders out whenever needed. Right now, I only have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1/2 ton. It is a Z71 4x4 crew cab that has a leveling kit and 285 BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2’s on it. Even with it for the time being, if my help was ever needed, just let me know!
Shackle ratings are with pin tight do not back off. I understand people want it to be easier to remove but if you carry a adjustable wrench or a rod that fits hole in pin is all you need.
@@JustinKingOffroad I agree we need to see some video of how you are rigging the lines for the recoveries. I live in New Mexico where trees are few and far between so we are challenged to find different ways of rigging. I truly enjoyed watching your video 'cause it showed me some of the trails I drove in a 4x2 can actually be done if a person has a 4x4.
The engineered rescue of that xj was absolutely phenomenal! Surprising that xj open front diff made it that far. Definitely and example of the Patagonia lateral traction issues...better communication than a forest circus fire incident command..
When you take your Jeep up your favorite hiking trail.
Indeed. That might be a good ATV trail but not muchmore.
Just reminds me of the saying, "4WD just allows you to get stuck in more inaccessible places".
@maoherrera73 -- "2WD just allows you to get stuck in places that you shouldn't be without 4WD. 4WD just allows you to get stuck in places where you shouldn't be without also having a winch." 4WD and a winch just allows you to get stuck in places where you shouldn't be without a tracked vehicle.

@@jakeblanton6853 awsome and true
The more you have the farther you push it!
Recovery Points! 1st and most important modification on any offroad vehicle. Normally you should add them before trying to drive off a cliff, though.
I think people get a head of themselves. They get a lift and some tires, then its off to conquer the world. (This is my nice way of saying something else)

There are trails that transition from fun and challenging to ... ... just stupid dangerous. It's really helpful to know when that transition happens.
D Hyde , Stupid dangerous makes my flesh crawl. I'm glad it didn't include a body recovery.
Enjoyed the video. I also liked hearing the radios in the background. You guys do a great job! Thanks for taking us along!
slipping the audio in from the gopro that could hear it was fun to synchronize with the static cam lol. Thanks for watching!
Excellent radio communication!! nothing left to chance with the parrotted commands from all participants. very impressed.

Little overkill on the safety.

Another example of what "highly trained" really means. Great job guys. Comforting to know you're out there when the rest of us get into trouble.
Nice recovery man! And I know my XJ is skinny but trust me I'm not trying to drive down no hiking trails and that's what it looks like he did. Lmao!
I agree. It does look more like a hiking trail.
