Right. Drinking on the beach and driving your truck into the ocean. What a way to bring people together.

[@BIGDAVE5352]

I remember cars getting flooded all the time when I lived on Surfside Beach back in 1982. People would come down from Houston and other areas inland for the weekend. They park at low tide and get stuck at high tide. I lived at 52 Bluewater Highway when it was a small RV park. Hurricane Allisia whipped it out back in ‘83. Now it’s a Luxury RV Resort with a restaurant. Great memories growing up on Surfside Beach. Back in those days the Happy Crab Bar was on the beach along with a pier.

[@JohnMurrayOP]

I remember going there in 1981-1982. My jr high neighborhood buddy’s would bribe High schoolers who lived on my street to take us down there from sugar land for $20. There was a buc-ees real close to surf side that sold mini styrofoam boogie boards and these crazy looking flip flops called titties that would not come off your feet while in the water. They were the precursor to the modern teva or watershoe. That beach was mega fun for 14 years old. I also remember pushing out a new Datsun 200SX that was owned by my neighbors sister that got stuck in the sand very close to the entrance Dustin used. That car was super low to the ground. She had no business being on the beach 😅

[@jimsmith9819]

[@gaymichaelis7581]

I really, really enjoyed this video!!! I am a female, but I love the ocean and I love sand and driving on beaches, etc., etc.!! And my husband was an over the road truck driver long haul and then ending up just delivering brand new, semi trucks locally, which I helped him with in Salt Lake area, etc.!!! But I lived in Palm Beach Florida and also went to the New Jersey shore and Rhode Island, and have driven on Daytona Beach… Plus I lived with my husband in Alaska and our boys and we had a lot of times where we got stuck or we helped other people get out of being stuck, helping push them out with the vehicle or using tow ropes, kitty litter, shovels, etc., etc.!!! I love doing that!!! So impressed with you tow truck drivers or whatever you call yourself!!! I’ve been in a few of your trucks With my husband, etc.!! Thank you so very much for the great video!! Was the Oregon coast with my husband a while back, and I got out to jump around in the surf and look for shells, but my husband was freaking me out/scaring me, driving our black Jeep into the surf, etc., where this could’ve happened!!! He always liked to push the envelope!!! Thank goodness and Heavenly Father we/he didn’t get stuck!!!! Thank you again! have you found the gospel of Jesus Christ!?! ❤🤟🙏🌎😇🪴🤗🥰👍😊🚚🛻🚛

Had the same thing happen to my Dodge Van on North Padre Island back in the ‘70’s . Spent an evening camping on the beach way back away from the water and woke up with waves hitting the side of the van but i managed to recover it and dry it out .

.....and a boat is not a truck.

[@N8dizzle4rizzle]

AND pay attention to the tide!

[@user-hw7uy1yn8k]

I am the only one that thinks this Ram is or will be totaled out from the salt water, maybe the insurance company wont be involved but that salt water will ruin any electrical connectors, and rust out the frame over time. Brake lines rust the frame from the inside out. Driver is not too bright.

[@PaulTasillo]

Dustin: You showed great leadership amongst your JEEP friends, and gotbthat BIG DODGE off the beach in a timely fashion. Great contribution to your community.

So proud of your work knowledge and know how Dustan. Stuff ups happen when called out sometimes. I do miss your beach recoveries as well. That ram looked awfully heavy too. Stay safe and see you on the next one 😊

Remember not all of the cars at the auction are junk. But all the junk cars are at the auction.

Wise words lol

[@zzoinks]

Also the shady dealerships and private sales. You can find junk cars anywhere. So it's pretty much wise to treat any used car purchase as a possible trick.

[@danstrayer111]

2 wheel drive, you're gonna get stuck. 4 wheel drive..now you're REALLY gonna get stuck.

[@jr42a1]

Everyones standin around shootin video of the situation but what I noticed was that the Stegodon winch with a nylon rope on the jeep worked pretty well with the other winch on the other jeep . THATS what my video would be of if I were there. Even if the other winch was a Stegodon, for all those folk who claim they have the Biggest ,best,most expensive winch? Well there you go ! Stegodons are really a great winch plus they have some really nice remote control features. The Stegodon pulls faster and has a remote control that works far beyond 15'. (like60').

[@craiggregory8541]

[@asquithmainlines699]

That defiantly was a chump move at the end. You were the only one that was sure how to get that one of there safely and use the equipment available to it’s fullest. Then he stiffs you on payment. Some people just have no respect.

[@farmerinchico]

Yeah, that was not cool.

[@andyleo8418]

Dude was probably upside down on his loan and behind on his payments. Let's go truck surfin'

[@lonecrusaider]

Many many moons ago on Padre Island a guy got his Ford with a cab over camper stuck at the water line. Two tow trucks couldn't get it and the tide was coming in so everyone had to leave till morning when the tide went back out. All you could see sticking above the sand the next morning was the top 4 inches of the camper. The whole truck went down and took forever to get out.

[@xaphan8581]

Lol that actually made me happy, I have the same winch as the lady’s and there’s not alot of videos on them so it’s cool to know they aren’t horrible. I do notice with mine though if your not pulling straight forward ot spools horribly

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

That’s any winch. Easy to pile up on one side if you’re not square with the casualty.

[@TowOp1105]

Dead in the water brought to a literal term

[@miguelgodinez2286]

Hey sir , sir !! You can’t park there 😂😂😂

[@Nybravest911]

Jeep Wranglers are very light vehicles. Being light makes it difficult to establish a firm grip with the surface it's riding on. Trying to pull the Dodge truck from a 90 degree angle is fruitless, especially on sand. The best course of action was to pull straight ahead which is why the winch worked so well. Lastly, Yanking vehicles like "William" was trying to do is a no no.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

You have the right idea, but only partially right.

[@bvz9712]

Nice salt water for that frame. Thanks for the video.

4 wheel drive doesn’t mean you can drive anywhere!!

[@junesecrist6719]

Looks like tide came in high. Maybe that truck would make a good reef if empty of gas and oil and a little farther out!

[@zzoinks]

It can also be a warning to other cars not to drive on the beach Like when they put those crashed cars out as a PSA against drunk driving. This can happen to you!!

[@TowMan127]

Nice job! I was like 😱 when you drove the rollback onto the beach 😂 poor dodge dually. Was a nice truck. That ride was coming in, perfect time for casting some line.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I could tell the sand was hard. I’ve spent more time on that beach than most people have spent on the pavement lol

[@andrewlisenby9693]

This reminds me of a guy I once knew with a classic Mercedes, who decided to drive it along the beach at low tide. I don't remember if he was tore up or what was the reason, but the car was left on the beach, the tide rushed in, and the car was history. He reported it to the police as being stolen, and actually laughed about the whole sordid affair. By the way, his family owned one of the insurance agencies in town.

[@johnsmircic6650]

Hey, Dustin, John from Mike’s Machine Works, just found your channel, cool video! Man, that could have gone bad in a hurry. Having grown up down here on the coast, seen many of these. The key is time, If you wait too long, the sand grabs on and then nothing short of digging it out will work. I’ve seen trucks stuck out there and just slowly disappear! Top notch work, have a good day. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

He did Vehicle Recovery for the military. He’s actually very knowledgeable, and probably has more experience than myself. Using his winch, two part, with the two anchors would have been more than enough to break the suction.
