This park had a reputation of being basic and easy. Most of the park is just a 2 track road. Where he got stuck is a new section thats lower and closer to the river. Everyone was surprised we managed to get stuck. My XJ on 33in MTs had to winch a few times to get out

That was Docs saying. Hells coming with me, would be fitting

[@scottnelson1713]

For those of us that live in desert regions, this was quite interesting. I can see why the authoritied didn't want you trying to go rescue it with a wheeled vehicle.

[@mahbriggs]

Which doesn't make the correct decision! A suitably equipped wheeled vehicle could have gotten him out without doing any more damage than the tracked vehicle did. I can understand closing the park to the general public, but not allowing a vehicle recovery was stupid!

[@NBSV1]

@@mahbriggs That takes someone who has to try and determine which wheeled vehicles can and can’t make it and then authorize them. Way easier and less time consuming to just say it has to be a tracked vehicle since there isn’t likely to be a bunch of them, and they likely to make it without digging deep ruts.

Many times people disagree with decisions they didnt get to make, especially when it inconveniences them... im sure this guy was pitching a fit since he hasnt had his vehicle in over a month... but as we can see there are usually reasons behind it. Glad they got it out. Thats an awesome little rig! Great video!

[@mahbriggs]

Which isn't to say the reasons were good! Close the park, yes, not allow limited access to recover a vehicle, no!

[@anthonyraines5951]

@@mahbriggs they did allow him... they just wouldn't allow him to use a wheeled recovery vehicle that WOULD get stuck as well

[@mahbriggs]

@anthonyraines5951 I know of several "mud" trucks locally that could have made that same recovery without doing anymore damage than the tracked vehicle did. Look, the BSF recovery wrecker is quite capable, bit it has it's limits, and would have been unsuitable for this recovery. But there are other types of vehicles that are not designed to lift and carry, but are quite capable of towing!

[@anthonyraines5951]

@m riggs i think we will have to agree to disagree on that. Not saying it couldn't be recovered with a wheeled vehicle but there were many places in that video that the tracks stayed right on top of the ground and the vehicle being towed behind it just sank in.

[@mahbriggs]

@anthonyraines5951 Well it was the vehicle being rescued. It did not have the large tires associated with mud trucks. In fact, it was pretty much a stock vehicle. Did it even have lockers? My point is that it was not a very capable mud vehicle. There are many that could have handled that level of mud quite well. Even my Jeep XJ probably could have drug that Toyota out of there, and it far from a purpose built mud vehicle. My point is it that it did not take a tracked vehicle like to recover that Toyota. Kudos to the guy that did! It looks like a pretty good machine, I am certainly not criticizing him! Just the idiots that prevented somebody else from going in earlier to get the guy out!

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

That's a sweet rig he has there.. looks like he has thought it out and worked out where to put items in a small place but made it workable.... and the Peterbuilt tilt tray looks great also.

[@thatdave86]

Cool tracked machine, and LS motor and trans makes a good combination indeed plus a cool headed operator. Yes Matt and Robby could do the same motor for their snow cats. Have to ask why the Landcruiser didn't try winching himself out?

[@Griller1977]

That looks to be a recently (last 10 years or less) logged out and replanted. They would have had to hook to 3 or 4 trees for every winch pull, and even that might have yanked trees out by the roots with the ground that soft.

[@joshuateter2968]

Well thought out setup! A trany cooler & dual bypass rad would be a great upgrade. Love the LS swap!

The Lone Wrangler----How many times would he have had to move the winch lines over the course of getting all the way out ? The vehicle didn`t seem very " capable" .

[@thelonewrangler1008]

​@@williameddy3740probably hundreds but not having a vehicle for 5 weeks and whatever it costs to have that tracked tow rig recover you should be plenty of motivation especially since he had to walk out of there in the first place🤷‍♂️

And the good old Land Rover Defender just plowed on through all that mud.

That is a very easy thing for us viewers to say, but for someone who is running a business all day, or maybe 24 hours a day in this case, one may prefer to get a few hours of sleep a night instead of editing videos at 3am. Most people have no idea how much time it takes to put good content out on a regular basis - it's a full-time job in and of itself. And if your YT channel takes off, then THAT becomes your primary business. This may seem fine, but your livelihood is then at the mercy of a global corporation who has the power to demonetize you at the click of a mouse. Many people are not OK with that . . .
