5 Ton Off The Job! Stuck in the Mud and buried in the Lake!

[@thomascalton3067]

"Took the giggle right out of Randy!" I love it! You know Randy must have felt pretty low. You're all great people, though, and probably only gave him the requisite amount of teasing for beaching the old girl.

[@trevin1691]

Exactly ! One of the comments that have me laughing 😂

[@richparker3048]

I seem to remember Casey urging Randy to go into the water. Having had extensive experience with 5 tons, they are very difficult to recover.

[@justinammons4189]

Pretty sure randy was just following orders, poor guy just doing what he was told

[@BTSCONSTREMOD]

Them ducks distracted him!

[@mikeyoungblood1706]

Not as bad as recovering a M-88.

[@markmclaughlin2690]

I was a tanker and spent many hours driving a Duece and Half when this started all I thought was it’s not going to end well, go get the M88.

[@mrmysterious]

He sure did tell him to take it in the water. And then slagged him for going in the water.

[@duggydo]

Poor Randy. I sure hope you film the repairs. That would be really interesting to see what broke in the axle and how you fix it. 👍‍

[@duggydo]

@@carlt8188 I wouldn't read too much into it. He hasn't posted on his channel in 3 months either. He might have gotten a different job, got tired of youtube, or any number of other things.

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Don't read too much into any of it. Randy is just fine. We have both been very busy. It was all in good fun and it was no big issue. The truck is up and running and been on dozens of jobs since.

[@shabadoo24]

Good seeing Randy hanging out with Casey.

[@roberthemphill8588]

Great video Casey. I believe Randy would be a fabulous addition to your Team. Thanks.

[@wb2vsj]

"You break it, you bought it". Randy to his wife that night ."Honey guess I bought today!"

[@dogleg6669]

Diesel Brothers ripped the front bumper off Dave's 5-ton wrecker few months back. Them trucks aren't indestructible. Another great video. Don't remember Randy braking any of Matt's stuff when he was filming for Matt's off road recovery.

[@steveschmitt2849]

Casey, now that answered alot of questions we had while seeing all the snippets of this upcoming video 😃. Good entertainment and sure glad the 5 ton survived with no life threatening damage. Nice drive or dive Randy. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.

[@mtevilone]

When you tell someone to do things with your rig you have not even done. Expect issues.

[@MontanaWelldigger]

A great demonstration as to why you stay away from the recovery line while pulling.

[@brucebaxter6923]

Beautiful recovery, kept the spectators safe, gave it plenty of time to come unstuck and do it smooth and slow.

[@stuartofJax]

Well that proves that the soft shackle is not a weak point. I always wondered how strong they really were.

[@MrNicholg]

The rolling credits are always the best part. Thanks Casey.

Right!

[@darkenfly32]

Congratulations Randy on your new 5 ton!

[@shawndonnelly5317]

Thank you for the video Casey. Might be time to implement the friends don't let friends drive their 5 tons rule. I look forward to seeing the "New" and improved 5 ton. Have a great week and stay safe.

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Exactly

[@davidjb3671]

Wow, just wow! And it was all from fooling around rather than a genuine recovery. Your heart must have sunk a lot deeper than the 5 ton, and I admire your composure. Still, with a combination like 'Randy driving' and 'it's never been in the water' what could possibly go wrong... 😏

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

The moment everyone got a straight face!

[@sergehorion7155]

[@Cristobal_Ygnacio_Arriaga]

Well and here I thought the RV from the previous video was badly stuck. This was a massive pull!

[@FreedomIsntFree2023]

While not as heavy.....when I was a kid riding along a stream on my KDX motorcycle, I came across a hole that was at least 6' deep. Swallowed the bike and me......boots, helmet and all!! Talk about a filling your shorts.....thank god for friends! I hate streams now......hahaha

[@1969landcruiser]

Wow, that is one big anchor to pull out of the lake. What a sick feeling when you bog down like that. Hopefully not too expensive

[@billnalder1017]

This just shows the forces at play when people get stuck and get a tow out, being ripping a 20T shackle off the front and bending the bumper bar. I'm glad you got it out without too much damage.

[@mildredwest2541]

Awwwww Randy, you were just having FUN...Darn, no fun for Randy!!!

[@Nautikuus]

Thank you for the awesome video! 👍 Thankfully the truck and everyone involved is alright. Am I right to guess that the next guy to drive the 5 ton has to leave a deposit beforehand? 😉

[@matthoye4974]

I seriously doubt there will be a ‘next guy’ other than Casey!

[@rileyastill6273]

Ouch. That really hurts to see that heavy rig bent up like that. A lot of force. Glad you got it out of there.

[@theawsmith]

Been anticipating this video, and was delighted to find that Randy's in it! Love how good spirited everyone is even on what was probably a tense, long day.

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

It was, but after it's in the mire...just put your shoulder to the wheel...Good Times.

[@gt500jeeper]

That had me all tensed up. I was sure it was going to snap the second time as well. I'm glad I'm not the only one that plays too hard and long. Sometimes we just never know when to stop.

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

It was crazy to watch

[@walthanas]

With Randy's history of breaking several of the vehicles that he drives, you actually suggested to Randy to try driving it in the water? ;-P It's for sure a very interesting video! Thank you for the entertainment!

[@simplyamazing880]

It WAS Casey that brought up the idea of driving in the water. Anyway I think Casey may have just been suckering Randy into a bunch of video hours.

[@bryco32]

Poor Randy! And we all know its still all good with you and him. These guys are Brothers from another mother.. Shlt happens. Cant expect it not too when you play hard like these guys do.

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Exactly

[@mikesblueskyproductionsuta7634]

I can now see why it’s been a couple weeks before you could post this. You’re a good man.

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Ha ha...well the first week was spent doing repairs, the second week was working UTV Takeover...so we were just a little busy.. Good Times!

[@wylde007]

About 25 years ago I was doing recon for a new golf course adjacent to a piece of property where the Army did off-road training. I was in a 3/4-ton Suburban and we came across a trail where we had to balance on the center and one side to keep the rear axle from getting high-centered. At one point we had to use a come-along to get freed up. Anyway, midway through our little outing a trio of Humvees came past us and one of them went nose first into one of the deepest ruts. He did not make it out. The other Humvees were unable to extricate him. Our only way out was now blocked. So about an hour goes by and we hear these awful diesel sound and trees crashing off in the distance. This monster 5-ton comes in just barreling through the woods and yanks the Humvee out in one jerk. It was truly something to see.

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Sounds like a good time

[@schmojo33]

You joined the 5 ton bent bumper club with Heavy D. Sparks.

[@MTBryanH]

Randy is very well rounded: Tesla and a 5 ton truck! Haha!

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

We used a big rope for this recovery. Freedom Ropes corr.rocks/freedomropes We are On the Road Again, this time with a Flash Back Video to Trail Hero 2021. We decided to catch some fun footage that turned into some not some fun times after the 5 ton went down in a hole along the edge of the lake. A few scary moments when a shackle broke and a bit of Carnage to the Old Girl. We got it back to the shop and all fixed up to have it ready for the UTV Takeover Event. We have been on the Trail Hero Event with a 1 week break and then Working the UTV Takeover! We are the Official Off Road Recovery Company of UTV Takeover so we had to work hard and fast to have it ready for the event, so that is why this vid is a bit late! Thanks for coming along for the ride and Thanks for Watching.

Oooopppssss!!!!!!! Murphy's Law, Anything that can go wrong will go wrong at the worst possible moment, nothing is indestructible but you sure have fun testing the limits lol.

[@flyovercounty1427]

Bridle to both tow points? Yes. Back in the day we used a cable bridle attached to the rear suspension trunnions run under the front drive axle then run under the front axle up to the front of the truck. It was supported and stayed attached to the truck. When the cat towed it was lifting the axles out of the mud from underneath not trying to tear the truck apart lengthways. Probably absolutely not needed in the desert country unless Randy drives in the lake mud agin....

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Won't make that mistake again. I was figuring the whole bumper may have come off even with a bridle.
