Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery - Safe Xtract X-Lock Belaying down a 40 degree slope

[@scotteastman2283]

Amazing recovery. These people are blessed you all know how to get this done!

[@Abend0]

You guys do awesome work. That slip at 16:57 really shows how steep that hill is. So glad nobody was hurt.

[@rjfreimuth]

Nice work Justin, was cool to see the X-Lock actually work in a real scenario.

[@laytonb7]

Your rigging intuition made that work Justin … I have done a manual belay with my truck using a couple shackles and a pulley, in the figure eight style belay on mule tape … and I had full control even after a slack line run out … but damn me if I could repeat that success nowadays!!! Nice to see a variation of that …this is similar to how I would have suggested for the Land Rover pre roll over …

[@offroad-adventure]

This is an incredible recovery. Thanks for doing what you and your team do! Happy 4th!

[@jimderrick846]

Wow. Great work, Very interesting with the belay. So many more options with synthetic winch rope.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

it's such a handy tool (the x-lock)

[@tlw8886]

Nice demonstration of the X-Lock. Haven't had to use mine yet but maybe that's a good thing!

[@JustinKingOffroad]

thanks! they are super handy!

Amazing job

[@woblytwo]

Great job on the recovery! Glad everyone stayed safe!

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Thanks a ton!!

[@tonreitsma6517]

Great job well done Justin, but please next time put your bodycam somewhere else or cut a hole in the safety vest . I'm not very much interested in yellow fabric 🙂

[@JustinKingOffroad]

For the 60 seconds that was a problem in the video I think we're okay here

[@tonreitsma6517]

@@JustinKingOffroad , sure! Just a little joke 🙂. I'm living in the Netherlands and it will be very difficult to find such a steep hillside here. But I really enjoy the techniques used as a former towtruck driver. Keep on the good work!

[@sassinator21]

Thanks for the video Justin. Definitely not on the beaten path and I do agree… steep never shows on video. Glad everyone and everything is safe and off the trail.

[@markreetz1001]

That belie line, if that's how you spell it, was really cool. That was a great recovery. Great video again Justin.

[@robertlanzetta]

Great stuff

[@prophotos365]

Great rescue glad no one was injured in the process!

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Minus a scrape from that random falling tree it went well!

[@bradshutler9356]

Awesome recovery and let's all enjoy our independence this day as it is being challenged at this time.

Happy 4th!!

Nice work!

[@j.r.777]

I would love to do some off roading with you sometime Justin. I still need to take my JLUR out somewhere.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

@@j.r.777 Remind me. You're in northern Colorado right?

[@j.r.777]

@@JustinKingOffroad, I’m in Sterling. I finally added my Warn winch and need to install my off road lights next.

[@azwrenchmaster5334]

Good job and great video Justin 👍 I'll keep my thoughts to myself on the fact it seems like most crazy recoveries are of idiots doing crap in places they shouldn't be. Oh, did I say that out loud? :) ... And I think the most dangerous thing you guys did was pulling those swampers off the Jeep rack!

[@hph1488]

Some people don't deserve help. These guys are nicer than I'd be.

Great video thank you!

"My fridge yeeted itself out the back of the jeep"

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Hahahhaha I can't believe it actually did that. 30 something degree slope was just too much after 2 hours of the back door open.

[@MystickPhoenix]

@@JustinKingOffroad yup! time for an upgrade :D (otherwise known as an appropriately sized stick to hold it in)

[@mikenorton62]

Definitely a thumbs up! Very cool video 👍

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Thanks a bunch!

Good job guys happy 4th

Happy 4th!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Is the Belay better than just hooking up a few jeeps to follow him down? And why not just fix the brakes? Any idea why no brakes? No emergency brake? And I'm also wondering why you didn't turn him around before starting down?

[@JustinKingOffroad]

The slope we were on complicated everything. No clue why there was no brakes, not worth the effort to fix again on that steep slope.

[@jcar1417]

Could you double wrap the x instead of using two x. When repelling with a load I have double wrapped my belay device to add more frictio

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Maybe, but I've never seen the inventor of that say it was ok

[@jcar1417]

Your x-lock and one of my belay devices are very similar . It would be an interesting experiment to conduct under controlled conditions to maximize the use of your x- lock. Also a rappel brake you can add or subtract friction by adding or subtracting bars and lock it off very easily with complete control of the load. Something to think about

6 lug nut axles on XJ?

Got some mods for sure

[@LuaiADV]

Great content. Improve your thumbnails. You should get better views! More people should be subbed to your channel. Great content 👌

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Clickbaity thumbnails are just.... Lol.

[@LuaiADV]

@@JustinKingOffroad My feed has a lot of videos. When scrolling i barely read what's in the title. If the thumbnail is attractive i click it. Seeing that you're constantly uploading and getting similar views means new people are not clicking on your videos. Look at MORR. Their thumbnails are easy to point out. For fun try making a thumbnail instead of using a frame from the video. It could be click bait. What's wrong with that? No misleading thumbnails and you're good to go.

[@LuaiADV]

The recovery was awesome btw
