Bigger mistake and highly illegal is to hook on to the ball .

What I noticed is that the concrete surface of the ramp appeared to be smooth. Wouldn't it be far more prudent to create a ribbed, rough surface as you would find on many ramps in my country?

And after the Jeep was halfway out of the water, instead of getting in the Jeep so he could stop it from rolling back down if the rope broke he was more concerned with saving his boom box speakers!

[@charlieodom9107]

All ramps in Florida are slick when wet, even mere hours after pressure washing. The only way to mitigate this is to install traction grooves in the ramp to allow tires to bite the groove edges. You can also apply a little sand to the ramp if you have a hard time with traction and it does the same thing.

These ramps look super slick

[@ypaulbrown]

so sad.....one expensive day on the water....good coverage ....cheers from Orlando. Paul

[@DargoDog]

Wow... I have seen a lot of videos showing vehicles after they are already swamped, but this is the first I have seen where it happens. I am assuming that is salt water, in that case, the only thing really "saved" is the trailer, that Jeep is done.

[@openphoto]

Yea. That ram probably saved them thousands in tow expenses tho. Aaa can take it from here.

[@DargoDog]

@@openphoto No doubt, don't know how much a wrecker would be for a job like that, and I really would not want to find out.

[@wesrgrant]

Yeah they may be able to salvage the tires

[@dlloyd6300]

There HAS to be more to this story. He must have jumped out of that Jeep with is still in reverse or neutral. There is no way that it slid down to its roof level, especially once the boat became buoyant and wasn't a factor.

[@therealthreadkilla]

Did you see the guy walking down the ramp before the pull out? Fell on his ass like he was walking on ice.

[@dlloyd6300]

@@therealthreadkilla I did, and I would get spinning tires but sliding back to the roofline makes no sense. Also I later found another channel that recorded the same incident from a better angle and you can see his wheels rolling backwards. I also think that the wife fired up the boat and put it in reverse while still connected to the teailer but not 100% it was in gear. Hard to tell.

[@MB-hq6yq]

@@dlloyd6300 you can see the wash from the engine, she put the boat in reverse which pulled the car further out, they realise the boat is still hooked to the trailer too late

[@svechappe6075]

@@MB-hq6yq Yup, Jeep was sliding and when she jumped in the boat and threw it in reverse with the boat still attached to the trailer by the winch. She basically pulled the Jeep the rest of the way into the water.

[@gzus1482]

There really isn't that much more to the story other then the fact that wifey threw the boat in reverse while it was still attached to the trailer, thus pulling the jeep further into the water. 🤔

[@easttexasengineering3489]

It’s a RAM brother, I didn’t doubt it one bit 😜

[@sweb3590]

Great advertisement for ram though. Not only is it a bad ass truck but the dude driving knows his stuff too. Kudos to you bro!!!

[@thewhomphlew]

ive hydrolocked jeeps multiple times. just give it a few oil changes itll be fine. id pay $1200 for that jeep.

[@charlieodom9107]

I'd pay that too, because I would put all new running gear in it and get rid of the shit it has in it!

[@JT_70]

Don’t overlook the damage and corrosion caused by salt water, especially on electronics. I would tackle a save on one from fresh water but wouldn’t touch one that was sunk in sat water.

[@dock_yard1149]

You’ve ignored the fact that all systems on modern vehicles are slaves to the onboard computers. Which cannot even briefly take salt water immersion. Every board in that thing is toast. And insurance ain’t gonna cover operator stupidity that caused the whole thing. Salvage yard time.

[@georgeselby3376]

@@dock_yard1149 This isn't a modern vehicle, it's a Jeep. At the very least the tub is worth some money. And insurance covers stupidity all the time, that's why you buy it (I'm swapping a YJ body onto my CJ right now, not using any of the electrics from the YJ.) If it didn't cover things that were the driver's fault, there would be no point in getting collision coverage since by definition it's the driver's fault.

[@jerrydelyea5820]

AT 5:15 the dude in the background lands hard on his back after slipping on the ramp.

[@petemiller519]

Wifey should have stayed on the dock. Looks like she pulled the Jeep and the trailer by popping it into reverse. Smooth move Ex-lax!

[@BUNKERJR53]

That Ram is stronger than I thought. Unreal!!!!!

[@75jrwhite]

6:15 another boat starts to block the camera view. I'm like, NOOOOO... wait a min...🍑😳 WOW Nevermind😁

[@chris6054]

Obviously this dude never been to RYC with all the doubt if a truck could pull something out. That RAM woulda pulled that jeep out with the boat still attached bro

[@guardrailbiter]

Friend: "Why does your vehicle smell moldy?" Boater: "It's a Jeep thing; you wouldn't understand?"

[@jjzinn3427]

1) Let's pull a large boat with a Jeep--- yea that is a great idea!

[@charlesbeatonrealestate8619]

I’m surprised that the commentator was surprised. Ofcourse the truck can pull the Jeep out. Easy money. It was hard to watch as there was no sense of urgency from the ram driver. Good video and I loved that everyone ran over to help. Good people!!

Wife was the one who dragged it all the way in by reversing

[@richardhanson8776]

I’m wondering, are ramps ever power washed or sand blasted to get rid of the slippery slime?

[@kateskrmetta2022]

They should be

[@skmfkr2]

it would have to be done every time the tide goes back out.

[@whataqtify]

Actually they do, apparently this ramp was recently pressure washed. It's still very slippery, honestly the moment he stepped off the brakes it was over. I got a new boat last year and had to get a new SUV to tow it. I did one trip in my old SUV and it felt dangerous. Some people don't realize that it shouldn't struggle that much to pull it. I saw the new GMC has autopilot with a trailer attached and I think a lot of these people at these ramps need something like that.

[@malekodesouza7255]

@@whataqtify what they need is a tow vehicle that has the capacity to pull what they are towing. These people didn’t.

[@dlloyd6300]

That crap can grow back in a matter of days. It's a fruitless effort. That's why most ramps are poured with some sort of heavy texture, like ribbing, to help with traction.

[@stripeybeast]

If wifey was able to quickly put the boat in gear and apply forward thrust, would the boat have enough torque (and the trailer have enough friction on the boat) to push the jeep out of the water or at least stop it from sinking futher?

[@burprobrox9134]

No she just would have jammed the bow into the clamshaw.

[@TheJscottbaird]

She had it in reverse and pulled the jeep in deeper... Not throwing any shade here, it's really difficult to keep your wits about you when things go completely sideways... Comedy of errors

[@Wapap]

Ahh no

[@chris6054]

@@TheJscottbaird Glad someone else noticed..ya unhook at the top of the ramp, before the tires even touch water, so dumb shit like this doesn't happen.. Literally four minutes after the first "it sunk" they finally had it unhooked. FOUR minutes? Was it Fort Knox holding it together?

[@TheJscottbaird]

@@chris6054 with a ramp that steep, I back it up, float it a little, then I disconnect the strap... Just my 2 cents... YMMV

[@jacktownvillan]

I knew the ram wouldn't have a problem pulling that little jeep out. Good Samaritan right there! Now to switch to the trailer and take my boat home please. Lol
