If this was not the hardest, this was definitely top 3 most difficult jobs I've ever done when you factor in the working area, lines ahead, weight, slope, heat and everything else together. For all fans of the channel, where do you rank this one compared to some of my other hardest jobs? Is this the worst?

@@PepesTowingService I would have to say this is the hardest one you’ve had to deal with since I’ve been following your channel. I was born and raised in Southern California and moved to Missouri in 1992. I am very familiar with the Eagle rock area as I grew up at the base of the San Gabriel mountains in the city called Duarte. You guys take care and keep up the amazing work.

I must say, hillside neighborhoods in LA seem to be designed by city planners who are fans of M.C. Escher! and are absolutely nuts. Anyone expecting a quick response from emergency services should think again. That slope looks to be 30-45 degrees and any equipment rolling over on it would be instant disaster for anyone downhill. Great work, these are the types of jobs which separate the pros from the amateurs.

Yes indeed. But recognizing that THAT particular house drop conductor could have been lassoed and pulled sideways out of the way a bit may or may not have helped. The POCO would have sent a small work truck out to come and evaluate the situation and they would have had the tackle to temporally relocate it or taken it down. But Josh and Alex did what the did with what they had in hand. That side by side positioning was interesting to say the least. Lots of chatter about avoiding sliding one truck into the other.

This job was far too huge for a small wrecker company, they needed the best on this job, Pepe's. This job tested all of your patience, and took all of your skills to get it done.

Awesome work! This recovery gets my vote as the most technical one I've seen you tackle. Every aspect was fighting you: site access and staging; elevation differential and angles of attack; lack of recovery points and weight distribution; and the lack of soil stability/compaction. Although not as "eye catching" as a fully loaded concrete truck through a garage, it's a master class for us fans! It shows off your expertise and tenacity! Also, that crew was on-it! Sucks that this happened on their project. But they seemed to anticipate a lot of what you needed and pitch in with good ideas and considerations. Unlike those recent telehandler crews that were huddled up and filming on their phones.

Guys, this is the most extreeme recovery I've ever seen, & I'm willing to bet 90% + of your viewers would agree- Absolutely amazing! I'd be willing to bet Pepe's is the ONLY recovery Company in the lower 48 that could pull this off- VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!

Glad you didn't quit !if you had failed that machine would have had to be dismantled and cut up for scrap in order to remove it, big savings for the operators and the owners. Great job and perseverance, you guys are rock stars.

I thought about quitting and how that would impact the scene. Would they have to set a date, get permits and bring in a huge crane? But those huge ones needed for this need a huge area for the outriggers to extend out on each side which isn't possible here. Cutting it up? Horrible option, next step would be to see if someone much farther away could do it like Ten West or Van Lingen, for a lot more funds. I love those guys and am sure they would have brought it up too, but I'm glad we didn't quit.

Awesome job! Yeah, these people wonder why fire trucks can't get to their house fast right? Let alone furniture delivery trucks when I used to deliver up there years ago from a company called Barker Brothers then Ethan Allen. But yeah I've delivered a couple of neighbors up there and getting my truck up there and tearing up my box and trying to get around traffic but that's life in the hills and you do a great job every time. Thank you for allowing us to follow the amazing deliveries you made and by the way I come from Hope chapel in Ontario and thank you for many men's breakfasts

Fire trucks are cool because they can just ram your car lmao they don't care Alex and I would get sued if we even touched a centimeter on these cars. Box trucks aren't even allowed here yet we did it with 2 rotators. Always good to hear from people that know exactly how hard traveling this is.

NEVER QUIT!! NEVER GIVE UP!!!! You and Alex did an AMAZING job on this one! Go easy one step at a time and you'll get it. I agree, without Big Flipper this recovery doesn't happen. Brut strength and 42 feet of boom were essential. Very nice job with the video and the wrap up at the end was cool too. Be safe out there!!!!
