Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery - Mudhole Lexus

May 27th co4x4rnr received a call about a lexus that was nose down in the mud. A passerby tried to recover the vehicle but broke off their 7000 pound rated strap.
A quick assessment on-scene opted for an immediate 2:1 winch setup, and it popped right out of the hole with complete ease and control.
Safe is slow and slow is boring. Sorry about that lol!

Great to have you back for the summer. That Lexus had 100% wrong tires...

[@bobbyboucher3718]

"I'll hold your snatch out of the mud here so it doesn't get packed in crap" I don't know why that made me laugh😏

[@JustinKingOffroad]

LMAO!

[@SPACEMIKEB]

Nice to see you back! Thanks for the video!

[@JustinKingOffroad]

had a dry run there with too much work and closed seasonal trails haha

[@DependableAutoTruck]

great video good to see you back

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Should be some more action soon with trails opening up for the season.

[@busbyadventures]

Hey Justin it’s been a minute, awesome video man

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

Power Wagon to the rescue once again.

[@markreetz1001]

Simple one today, eh Justin. Thanks for the tag along.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

simple is boring, boring is safe lol.

[@ellerybice3787]

Given a few hours, a shovel and draining the water from the mud hole, I could have rescued myself.

[@Coolhansolo]

After the rescue stomp it through that mud hole locked up with mud tires 😂

[@awhiteguy24]

There’s not even any mud on that gx. It’s like he just gave up the moment he hit the mud

[@JustinKingOffroad]

I think they pretty much got stuck as soon as it hit lol

[@StreetRocketJoe]

Also those tires are a/s. So they wouldn't sling much mud at all anyhow.

[@MattAK]

quick recovery means more time for fun the rest of the day

[@JustinKingOffroad]

We did go wheeling lol!

[@rdreeves8018]

Do you find it odd that someone with a Lexus, no clearance at all trying go thru mud holes like that?

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Not really

[@scotta8494]

Which trail was this on Justin?

[@JustinKingOffroad]

its up at gordon gulch

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

after watching several different offroad recovery channels making offroad recoveries, it's unbelievable how unprepared these people are that need to be recovered. and the lack of knowledge of how and where to drive. here in Louisiana, I've been stuck a lot but always was prepared to get myself out alone. and traction boards is something I would never own unless I drove in sand.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Agreed on all fronts. Traction boards are very helpful in snow here too. I have a pair and have yet to use them.
