Major fail in a multi-million dollar house

- What a HOT call this was, both in terms of the actual heat and the pressure to not cause any more damage on this monster of an expensive house. This little gated city/community known as Hidden Hills is home to lots of celebrities like Kanye/ Kim Kardashian and Drake. The streets were small to navigate and full of expensive cars and low hanging trees, so I had to carefully maneuver Hulk until I got to this lot.
First step was to assess the situation and get my game plan going. Due to the tight space and slope, getting in front of it or off the side was not possible. After removing a bin in my way, I backed up Hulk as far as I could and started the slow rigging process of setting up my lines.
My primary goal was to upright the reach truck WITHOUT causing any more damage to the house or the roof. I did this by having one primary lift and catch line, plus an additional winch line straight to the boom to make sure it comes up without scraping or dragging the roof. It was a tiring and slow process but safety is always first and the plan was executed to perfection.
Once upright, I used my underlift to perform a recovery rear tow, while still having one winch line on the axle with a missing tire for support and safety and towed it out of the property lot and into the street. From here, I backed it onto a Landoll and used my boom lines to straighten it out to the customer's satisfaction. Not the heaviest job or most difficult job I've done, but definitely a ton of pressure from the contractors watching my every move to make sure no further damage was done.
All footage was shot with my GoPro Hero 7 Black using a chest mount and edited in Adobe Premiere.

I absolutely LOVE watching your videos, you explain everything and I learn so much, at least I think I do. Your professionalism and the way you treat your employees and co-workers is second to none.
Your video's came across my RUclips feed last week, completely out of the blue and I've been hooked ever since. Very entertaining and instructive. Well done
This man is really hooked on his job! Josh, you do know how to make a video worth watching!
Appreciate it!
Really appreciate your step by step descriptions on exactly what you're doing and what you are thinking!
too bad there is really not much to watch anymore unless you like to watch foreign films.
@@guycooper3691 What is this even supposed to mean lol
Guy Cooper there's tons of stuff to watch--almost limitless really. I just happen to love big rigs, recoveries, disasters and the people who clean them up. I am happy to recommend some stuff.
The key to his success is take your time, pay attention to everything, prepare for anything. (like deploying his outriggers just in case)
This guy is the type of worker employers love and insurance companies pray for.
Thank you, not everyone appreciates someone as thorough and safe as me. So many Monday morning quarterbacks think this stuff takes minutes with no planning.
EXCELLENT rigging on this one!!! Add a little finesse and it all looks easy!! Well done Josh!!!
Thanks David!
Extremely well done as I watch this again. A very talented man!👍👍👍🙏👏🏻😀😃
Thanks for sharing your videos. You prove on every job that you are a professional. Good Job!
Great work my friend.I like how you communicate with others involved in the recovery and emphasise safety.I also agree with your 50 houses option/analogy.Thats a lot of rent money that would be coming in.Hulk is set up very nicely and such a fantastic piece of equipment.
Cheers from Australia.
I had forgotten this one. I think it one of your best. incredible rigging and amazing improvisation. Fantastic narration. A+
Very very interesting you find this my best. Personally I love these type of jobs where you can’t brute force it and have to really really think. I can vividly remember how hot this day was lol
13:45 Love the graphics, makes everything perfectly clear, awesome touch Josh !!!
Thanks, I've been practicing a lot in video editing and glad people are liking the small things like my graphics
Another great recovery by true professional.Safety always pay
Awesome recovery and play by play action. Thanks
Another great job by you. Way to go love the way this was laid out and pick up.
You did great... Thank you for the video... Much love... stay healthy and safe
Glad to see your safe operating procedures and instructions are clear. Nice work. Nice machine.
Love watching your content. I started with a Holmes 440 on a one ton ford . This was before wheel lifts and a guy had to get good with 4 x4"s and spacer blocks. Love all the improvements since I started in 1979. Be safe.
Must be a trip for you to now see how modern and state of the art these tow trucks are! My grandpa started off your way, he probably never imagined the company owning a truck like mine one day
I know it’s not but all the videos I’ve seen you make this look sooooo easy!! 😂😂 Keep up the great work!
Very Tough Recovery, Great Job. Love your videos.
Damn, I honestly can't believe you got it out. I would've told the customer to call a crane company to lift it over the building .
I'm a subscriber now.
The Best in the West and I conceive in the Nation Pepes, I love it when a plan comes together and you had to do it solo this time great video outstanding
Thank you for the compliment!
The labels and descriptions of what you are doing and why are pretty cool. Those roach coach drivers can be like robots sometimes. You ask them to stop on the way out and then they just brain fade or something. Nice work
nice to listen to someone who loves their job so much.
Awesome work, that was a tough one!!!!
That was a tricky job, you didn’t want to do any more damage on the roof than what was done already. Great video !
Wow! You rigged that up so as you are pulling it, that's how it fell. Surpurb!!! Great job!!!
Well done Pepe another fantastic job you are the best. 👍🇬🇧
Not nearly the best, I'm still learning as much as I can but thank you for the compliment
It's a team effort.
Great job guys.
Really liked how you used the deck winch as the catch. Another great video, thanks.
Thanks, I've always wanted to do that with my truck. I saw Plaza Tow do it once on a video and figured it would only be a matter of time before I got to as well
Excellent job !!
Great job you definitely know what you are doing
Love your step by step instrulation , I wouldn't have a clue what to do. But I'm glad you do.I would piss my pants going on that roof looking down.
I love being as detailed as possible in my rigging process to give those not in the industry an idea of how it's done
What a risky job but so well thought out and performed! Hulk is amazing!!
That was AWESOME. Reminded me of a game of pick up sticks. Having to move one piece ever so slightly to release another. Your tow truck HULK is one fantastic piece of equipment.
With Pepes, Hulk, and Josh at the controls you can't go wrong !
Facts!
Found your channel now i can't stop watching!
Awesome to hear, glad you like it!
Awesome skills. 10/10 👏🏼
Awesome video. Thanks.
Great job. Nice to watch a pro in action.
Thanks for another great video!
Kudos! Nice recovery.
Great job 👍
Great job getting it upright and towed and loaded!
great video and commentary . keep up the great work.
Experience and Skill---NICE work
Man, I don't know how I got here, but that was awesome. Good work!!
At 12:00, when you said: "Now I gotta do the suicide walk and get my cable...". Nah, man, as soon as you get within jumping distance, you're golden! Just have a good grip and hang on like Tarzan while you swing yourself back to safety with the remote! Great video and new subscriber!
great job! stay hydrated brother!
You guys get the most interesting jobs.. NEVER boring is it🤣👍👍👍.
Oh ya, I don't even get to post a lot of the other stuff we do but it's crazy,
Now that’s what I call a professional, who can actually get the job done and not be like the idiots that put the lift there in the first place, great job done ✅
man that was a complicated and technical .. great video ..
I'll bet you were pretty good at physics in school! That was some first class figgerin' on setting up that recovery.
Multi million dollar truck +multi million dollar house + dangerously leaning genie life= normal working day for hulk. Lol stay safe love your videos
Being in a celebrity filled community with everyone watching my every move to make sure I didn't break anything is def a first haha
@@PepesTowingService well at least you have earned your gold star on the walk of fame
I’m a commercial tire tech service truck driver, I like to think I have good instincts when it comes to judgement calls, tactics, and overall awareness. This guy needs all of the above considering I operate out of a dually with a tiny boom etc and he works out of a rig way way way bigger than anything I’ve seen in action. I’d love to apprentice under this guy for sure! If you are going to learn something as intense as this it’s best to learn from a pro
Second time I’ve watched this and it’s still amazing!
Great work👍👍.
Thats a badass tow truck
Thank you, Hulk is my baby
Nice hot job! Enjoyed
That rigging was absolutely impressive!
Thank you, I try haha
Keep up the great work guys! You guys do awesome work! We’re one of the biggest if not the biggest towing company in Idaho, so we’re watching you guys from a state over! You guys always have entertaining jobs to watch! Keep it up 👍🏻
Much appreciated brotha, thank you! Funny enough is I've been meaning to comment on one of your videos since I'm also subscribed to you, but I can never have enough free time to watch a full video. Promise I'll get around to that, you have a nice channel as well. Keep killing it and stay safe!
Pepe's Towing Service that’s awesome! Thank you! You guys keep killing it too! 👍🏻
Very Nice Job !!!!!!
You got some problem solving skills! Well done..
Grate job you inspire others.. your good BE SAFE MOST OF ALL
That was a dope video bro 👍🏽. If I ever tip my rig, I know who to call
Great job brother
Very nice work 👍😊
Quite a science to that. Well done
A lot of people don't realize how much math is involved. For every foot of extension, my working load limit decreases. Then you factor in your height and how many degrees you are rotated, it definitely isn't something you can wing.
Pepe's Towing Service You’d have to use experience and a natural aptitude to tackle that. Lots of responsibility, especially when your the boss has to put a lot of pressure on top of everything else. Please keep these coming.
Good video lol where is you safety harness on the roof lol👍
Great rigging and maneuvering. Superb video. I didn't see a helper with you. If you did all that by yourself in the heat, you are a macho man.
I stated earlier all my drivers are heavy wrecker operators. Would not be wise to take a driver with me for this long with our busy workload. Sure it would have helped me but sometimes the jobs are easy. This case it was harder but I managed solo
@@PepesTowingService I understand. Just had a thought that your co. had some helpers available in some instances. I am aware you have a great work ethic and I admire that. Stay safe.
Awesome job bro !!!
Thank you
Great channel! Smart guys.....
Thank you sir, hope you subscribed to check out the rest and anything in the future.
Awesome video Josh!!!
Thanks!
Thank you!
great video and you are amazing - don't know how you figure it all out - beyond my comprehension .......
Lots and lots of practice and training
Nice job man.
I just subscribed and started watching your videos and was curious next time I'm in Los Angeles can I do a ride along
Nicely done
great job..
WOW! That took some serious skill to pull off a successful rescue
And a ton of patience
Good job. Your a pro.
Congratulations on a VERY difficult job. I have nothing like your kit, but I do use an 8ton machine for some very tight work with limited space. (moving millstones away from a house for example)
That was a nailbighter. I felt like I was there stressing out right next to you.
professional af bro!!!
Good job that was a tough one.
I would Love to do this work!! where are you guys??
Great job ,wow
Definitely pat yourself on the back!!! Awesome job!!!
wonderful Job well done
Such an untidy builder didn't deserve that contract!
Dam great job! You're good your job and sadly you don't see that very much these days
Awesome!
Good job
Perfect timing..Major fail in a multi-million dollar house--video opens with an Airstream trailer in an ad. Which probably costs more than a house here in Alabama.
Jeez I've never seen towing like this. You want my harbor freight winch? That up to par?
Housing is so wired in terms of how they price it like where I live, a house with 2-3 acres and 2000sq ft is like 300k-400k but in town a same size house with no acreage is the same price. It’s all about location
"So Fun" As in more fun than any one person should be allowed to have on any one day?? Excellent!!
The harder the job and the more I have to think, the more fun I have
Looks like Sunbelt or JLG is going to eat a nice big winch job bill and the repair costs to the house. Sucks to be them.
When you needed to shift the load to the drivers side, you could have turned Hulk’s wheels to the left which would have pivoted the underlift in the direction it needed to go. The distance from Hulk’s steer tires to the back of the underlift is long enough that 1-2 inches at the steers would have been more than enough shift. Rigging for a second lift worked but if for some reason you still needed the boom lines attached, this would have gotten you what you needed. Good job on the recovery.
Yes and no. I didn't have much room to back up onto the Landoll because the outriggers. In this case it was much easier to use my boom line to swing it over since it was already attached and I had full 100% control down to the inch of where I could put it. Going forward or backing up again could take multiple attempts and could throw off the front.
Another dificult job done by the professionals very well done.
Josh like your videos do you ship your merchandise overseas to Australia
Yes, we ship anywhere. Just visit the website in the description and check it out
Reminds me of the first time I drove a big tractor.
