DANG!!!! That Jeep losing it's top was Azusa canyon I believe.

On the first video....shows you what diesel torque and a bit of traction is capable of. Man ! Can't beleive the carnage!!!

I did a lot of recoveries back in my Offroading days, those have to be the DUMBEST I have ever seen!!

I agree! A dumb move I made once was to not inspect the pull rope I was given to use. With my F150 I pulled out an F350 diesel, but only after the first recovery line snapped and dented my tailgate, broke the trailer wiring plugs and cracked my license plate!!! The guy I pulled out paid for all the repairs in cash so I avoided insurance, but it was a lesson to be learned

well on the red jeep pull the guy only had two choice to pull from and backwards didnt work... I think it was more of a dumb ass move to drive in that mud then the axle braking pulling it out... it was reall ether pull the front axle out trying to get the truck out or just leave it there...

THATS THE altimite! BUILD FORD TUFF COMMERCIAL!!

those guys are idiots, they no nothing about pulling vehicles out! especially UNIBODIES! my cherokee looked exactly like the one in the first vid, the body is paper thin. and you also cant just pull something that deep in the mud straight out, you have to relieve the suction from the mud, and agreeing with everyone else, DONT PULL WITH SLACK ON THE LINE!
