Things Got Scary - Truck Camper Fail - 4x4 Recovery Tow

[@julieandmill7218]

Omg the anxiety this causes... glad you got the old girl fixed

[@sarahfarmer6835]

Man you have nerves of steel! Stay safe

[@RockyHamblock]

Way to stay calm . It’s not easy when ya have car troubles. It’s nice you have your cabin with you so have a place to stay . It can always be much worse . Was a beautiful place to be stuck for four days. Your truck has been awesome , hope they get her fixed .

[@jwk4567]

Timmy… I really hope you look back at these old videos to see how resilient and tenacious you are. Well done brother!

[@robertfitzsimmons2507]

You ever tried putting a pit bike on that thing. A honda 50 even would fit on the back porch. And you don't have your mountain bike. Damn going up and down that hill gotta say you do pretty well balancing on the one wheel everywhere though hell yeah. I've been broke down in the middle of nowhere before. For days. Definitely feel your pain.

[@Goldarrow.89]

that tow truck driver is a legend

[@TruckHouseLife]

right?!

[@GregB-kc1rb]

And I love the way you handle things when shit hits the fan

[@kathyboyers4341]

My wife and two of her friends were on their way to Arizona in a diesel schoolie towing a 24 foot enclosed trailer when they broke down in Texas. It took them 3 days to get someone to fix the bus. An 86 year old retired diesel mechanic just happened by to the gas station they were broken down at. He fixed them up and they made it back home to Michigan uneventful. Things do happen and can be very stressfull. Hopefully you are enjoying your time by now. Thanks for a great video.

[@glennpurchase807]

Wow. What an experience. Hard on the nerves. But it all worked out.

[@GregorsOutdoors]

Way to keep it real. I've seen brand-new rigs break down in remote places. It happens to the best of us. What an epic rescue all captured on video. Happy it all worked out and you could smile at the end.

[@bethesserine9660]

Truck repairs expensive. But you got this

[@greyangelpilot]

You had me at "Broken Down" brother, but got me with "Always Lookin' Up." I think most of your viewers can relate to being "Stuck in a Rut" or "Broken & Down" in 2020/21. Life's not about the easy victories or simple fixes, it's about the quest of surmounting the seemingly unconquerable. Rock On Timmy, you're video may have inspired more than a few of us who may have lost faith in believin'.

[@GREENPOPPERS]

A fucking men. Well said man.

[@albertaadventures7750]

Nicely put. Agree whole heartedly 🤙

[@Dingthedingbat]

In the nearby future only aristocrats will drive anymore. The poor people will be up on the porch having as much babies as possible. Over $16,000,000 worth each. The rest of the people will be in the gutter. When I see you in the gutter I’ll throw you a bottle of wine. Bloomberg, I’ll be right back with some sugarless wine 😅hi, vanilla tea here. I’m on a mission. To get sugarless wine. Afterwards I’ll be throwing mad dog 20/20. Everybody.

[@carriemainquist757]

Wow. Just wow. A different kind of adventure, part of the journey. The kindness of strangers when traveling is so amazing.

[@GregB-kc1rb]

This has to be one of the most realistic podcast ever produced I can’t get over the video and editing quality but there are some things, and I gotta be honest or I wouldn’t be me Tim, you sometimes take some crazy risks Now that comment may piss off some of the other following but too bad for them I don’t pull any punches and definitely speak my mind Enjoying the episodes Be safe Tim, your life’s valuable and you are appreciated…..

[@jannettaktibbs7268]

There are so many blessings in this video. So much could have gone wrong, but didn't. As my beloved late hubby used to say, when camping, you can never be prepared enough. He would plan our trips for weeks. Packed so much gear, but each outing, I could see how important all that planning was. I'm brand new to your channel, and I love it. Reminds me of our camping adventures. My late hubby took me all over the PNW. We were both Oregonians, with a deep love of the outdoors. You be safe. ❤

[@montgomeryfamilychannelemm7948]

Wow, look at that view. Breathtaking. Wow.

[@vangilanteryan713]

What a damn story. That was amazing and motivates me to stay positive and just hammer problem after problem. Crazy!

[@russellstuart3019]

Dude it’s so awesome for you to have friends like that!

[@diannes]

Well at least we see the con to house truck living.

[@419JesusSaves]

I bet u felt like u were in a parade going thru town. 🤣 this is nuts, dude!

[@dopecactus]

This has been a fun adventure to watch. Glad that wasn't me in your situation.

[@kst357]

This is one of those epic breakdown stories you'll be telling your grandkids about.

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

One of those, "I don't need this" moments. Sinking feeling. hang in there.

[@sarahr9181]

I’m fully obsessed with this series, Timmy. You’re sure having some craptastic luck!! Can’t wait for the next one!!

[@TruckHouseLife]

nice haha

[@sdrynock7368]

Geez, when it rains it pours! Glad you've made it out safely! That's an awesome truck and I admire your patience and staying calm with all of those frigging crazzay things going wrong!

[@VE.creations]

That one wheeler reminds me of the hoverboard from back to the future lol 😂

[@TruckHouseLife]

that's what I was going for lol!

[@jackswisher3171]

Gorgeous glaciated landscape! Thanks for sharing. Glad it only cost some money, nothing more serious.

[@TruckHouseLife]

No worries!

[@jamesmears3419]

Hang in there, Im a van lifer, huge fan! Glad you got out!

[@TruckHouseLife]

thanks man

[@richardhardy4243]

I learned a lot from this video....most importantly, keep your cool. I can only imagine how I would have reacted to all this. Lesson learned. Timmy is all chill

[@TruckHouseLife]

I try to be lol.

[@Iceman_777]

Best of luck. Lived in alaska for 18 years. Yes I broke down in alaska many times. That's where I learned to wrench. Great channel !!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thank you!

[@containyourlife]

Oh Timmy, never a dull moment. By the time you’re done with it all, you should have a brand new truck. Hopefully you’re well on your way home now. 🤞🏼🙌🌈

[@jodyreay733]

You are amazing brother!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@419JesusSaves]

Triple Cross Towing! Awesome name! By God's grace - you did get there! He was seriously with you! Amazing!

[@southerntexashomestead5028]

Wow that was intense! So glad you got most of that on video. Awesome.

[@JimmyDistheMan]

You seemed pretty calm and kept going with the videos. The fact is that breakdowns happen. It could have been worse, but you stayed calm and got through it... one challenge at a time.

[@TruckHouseLife]

fact

[@ObamaoZedong]

I'm gonna share this in my dodge ram group. A ford found on road dead pulled by another that also breaks down. They'll get a kick outta that. 😅

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol prob will!

[@rjdtwo]

One of the benefits of you being broke down is videos every day!

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol fact

[@tiffanyedland7092]

That tow truck is a BEAST! Sorry about the luck but what a beautiful view to be in such a stressful situation! Hope all is well 💗🤘

[@curiousangel5430]

Neutral with transfer case dude !! Can't believe You don't know this.I thought everyone knew this !!!

[@jdedmnds1]

Good luck. The place I used to work, has a F450 with a 7.3 diesel and it had a problem similar and the problem was the wires and plug going to the cam sensor.

[@jeannepalumbo6514]

So very stressful when these things happen, especially when you,'re far away from home. At least it wasn't on a holiday weekend, with no shops open. Now you need to get Phil and Brian up to Alaska.

[@TaylorHomeCare]

Damn man one thing after another. Keep trucking!

[@shamsshams20261]

I admire your resilience and your patience. Good luck and thank you for sharing.

[@TruckHouseLife]

thanks:)

[@backcountryboondockers]

Nice rig. Sorry for the break down. Come out to quartzsite

[@lifehunter6426]

Glad you got out safe and to a shop. Again, can't wait to see what the problem was.

[@jessik-1818]

Ooh 😲 that was scary, glad you guys made it out of the woods 👍 finally !!! Take care my friend

[@equestrianalways6132]

Dam that was hard out bro. Can't wait for the next installment

[@mattdull1437]

Lol I clicked on the video and was like hey! I know that tow truck.. lol I live in gunnison and dream about seeing Alaska so I watch your videos..

[@kengyang1908]

Dude love ur positive attitude..safe trip...keep the old diesel going if possible...ur creating memories...good luck

[@youraussienomadfriends]

Hello just happy to see you safe. Yes your mechanic will we pray have you on the road in no time. Stay safe. Hugs from your Aussie nomad friends 🤗

[@DoctorHayduke]

Glad you finally made it out man!

[@derekvandyke5132]

This video is a gem and got a good laugh out of it, mainly because i can relate

[@giterdone9013]

My cripes, did your spark arrestor make it back out, lol? Glad you got 'er out of there in one piece and didn't even have to take the drive shaft off. Imagine, even had two Found On Road Dead's at one point! I love that you even got to help him out with parts and tools. You're certainly learning a lot about your rig and I got a feeling, you made that show, Lord knows you earned it. And I had a thought but maybe one of those collapsible e-bikes would be beneficial to have around? Did the one wheeler ever make it up the hill in one go? Thanks for all you do and for putting this out there for us. You're right, hard to consider yourself too hard done by with a view like that eh. Keep on keepin' on and cheers from Eastern Canada.

[@jandj2589]

What a bummer! We sure hate to see your trip plans messed up! But you just make the best out of a bad situation! Take Care

[@Wootangtw]

Wow … you definitely had a rough few days… thanks for the video buddy…

[@petejoy6328]

First time I’ve ever been excited to see a you tube video! So glad it worked out in the end and what the hell, you fixed some shit that was eventually going to crater anyway! Concert looks awesome. Safe travels brother 😎

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol nice!

[@jdc8352]

I can't tell if it's warm or cold there. I see shorts and t shirts the homie put on a coat 😁

[@TruckHouseLife]

both!

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed, never a dull moment 😮

[@burlingtonbill4687]

As I am watching this I just returned from dropping our fifth wheel off to have new shackles put on after noticing while airing up the tires that two of the shackle links are broken. They called and are going with a More-ride system that has a little more beef and just maybe we will head for Arizona as planned next week. Looking forward to see how your saga continues in upcoming episodes ( I've seen where in real time you are back in Alaska ). Good luck. Keep playing that music! Burlington Bill here busking from at home and on the road here on You Tube.

[@billkrause4585]

Good luck on the repairs.

[@TheRealJerseyJoe]

Wow... I think I just pooped myself... LOL ! But joking aside, so happy that you made it into town safe and sound. I'm confident you get this sorted out soon... good luck !

[@frankbalazs8816]

All the great things the guy with the Jeeps done I hope you buy him a Hell of a BIG BEER!!!! 😂❤

[@micealmacadaim6550]

Gunnison CO. A beautiful location. Was there in 1984.

[@CaliforniaBushman]

Years ago, I was insured with USAA. My dad was a Captain in the Army retired. My engine blew in my Acura skiing Had an 85 mile tow. But back then (1994), they covered it. I Dropped a used engine in with 35,000 broken in miles on it from a junkyard. Drove it 8 more years.

[@darewolf]

Cannot make this stuff up, very much enjoyed watching this!!! New subscriber here!!! Best of luck and look forward to more of your upcoming adventures!

[@lovettlovett9462]

Hey Timmy been watching all your Videos the Truck and you building Your house. Great Videos ☺️ Ginger L USA Alabama

[@lea801]

Whoo, that was surely one of those days!😲

[@moemotel29]

Hellya bro I loved in Gunnison. For 3 months ....lol. Everyone had big thick bathrobes...for morning coffee... Loved Colorado

[@nature10879]

Lots of fun to watch. I think adventures are supposed to be this way, it doesn't have to be smooth all the time. Those old fords are tough.

[@tocabocalife_9860]

From South Africa had same issue with drive shaft, Landrover disco 2 driveshaft bolts 9/16 only imperial bolts on the entire vehicle.. Everything else is metric.... took me 4h with a small adjustable wrench to remove.... lesson learnt, two 9/16 in my toolkit

[@TruckHouseLife]

crazy

[@FA113NZ0MB13]

I hope you made it to your show! Crested Butte is so beautiful to camp at, I live in Colorado and I would of been freaking out to be broken down over there.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Last video just dropped;)

[@WebflingerJoe]

Lol zip ties calls the twig he wedges on the throttle his "high idle stick" lmao

[@clayfist4033]

I need to save a little bit of money and get yourself a 12 valve or 24 valve 5.9 cummins swap very reliable motor but the meantime fix what you got save up for that Cummins in it. And you need a G 56 manual transmission and I believe you’ll be in good shape that truck or go anywhere good video keep up the good work can’t wait to see you next one and thank you you’re awesome

[@bradjenkins932]

LMOA.

[@tommackay7433]

Beautiful country

[@utube012341]

I really feel this because my pos psd is ooc . Screws me out of my trip to my land in Arizona again this year, covid got me last year . Gotta put $$ into my truck , actually thinking the psd diesel is too unreliable might switch to a big gasser , at least they usually start or it’s just a fuel pump , not 10 different things

[@russellmcbride1242]

That turn by Scholfeild pass is a bad angle. That first downhill is sketchy for sure. Knarly road from Emarald to Gothic! Crazy tow! 🤯 Hope you made the show!🤙

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup footage does not justice lol

[@JohnnyButtons]

I would LOVE to own that tow rig lol....just badass.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup it was pretty sweet!

[@atypicalmom]

I just about lost it when the tow truck broke down!!??? I agree you picked a beautiful spot to break down that's for sure. I'm wondering if you're wishing you were back in Alaska about now? This is one expensive road trip! You always keep it positive though!!!

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol

[@usmcmustang2972]

So sad that I didn't know you were broke down.. I would have had you running in short order, without a tow. I live in Montrose.

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol dangit

[@woodslisa4529]

Man..that whole tow had me freakn

[@rendok0]

This is almost the kind of concern I have when it comes to owning large camper vehicles. Regardless though they produce good memories so it's kind of a trade-off. This will be a good camper story after cracking a beer and joking around.

[@Iamtheoverlander]

I was right at the top of the hill were you broke down for four days on September 16th camping just above your friend with the Jeep. If I broke down camp just a little bit earlier I would’ve passed you at your break down spot.

[@TruckHouseLife]

nice haha

[@lukemarks92]

That was the craziest shit i have ever seen. New subscriber bro just for your troubles. I worked with the same model ford that towed you. Cant imagine takin it down those kind of roads. The belt broke right at the shop? Count your blessings man thats one to remember

[@johnsimpson8198]

Damn Timmy, the adventure continues, hopefully alot better from here on out! Stay safe my friend

[@lucianaparma9555]

(12:23) 😳😳😳😳😳 and (15:48)😳😳😳😳😳...what the....??? Unbelievable!!! 😅😅😅😅👌 Awaiting the next episode 🎃....hope the diesel mechanic doesn't suffer a heart attack or something...Greetings from the South!! 🇺🇾

[@YahshuaLovesMe]

love your rig!

[@MrAussiedarren]

Talk about a headache but it made for a terrific vid Timmy.....sorry mate but it did 👍 and cudos to the tow dude, man not only has a large set but knows his stuff 👍

[@debscreepy]

I know what your going through. In the last 30 days I've had to replace both u joins and my fuel pump. Good luck my friend!

[@ronniebenoit4081]

Just a regular Allen wrench will sometimes fit in a HEX head star bolt

[@TruckHouseLife]

yup!

[@CaliforniaBushman]

Holy Shit, you made it 😮! Congrats!

[@Baked13]

... nomad life IS NOT CHEAP ... safe travels ...

[@Blazen747]

Wow got to be a mechanic to when traveling good job Timmy

[@terryl5878]

Tim you are a good man! Better than most! Good luck! You will do well!.......Why didn't your friends pull you down to town?????? If I had the chance, with their bad ass rigs, i would have loved to have tried.......jmho....

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

FYI you can use a hex/Allen key in most star bit bolts

[@TruckHouseLife]

I could but didn't wanna strip it, pretty hi-torque bolt.

[@raelenelabby6407]

I grew up at Red Rocks!!❤❤❤❤

[@TruckHouseLife]

nice!

[@johnhilbert5894]

Well you got through it and on the positive side the preventative maintenance of your truck is good to go for awhile

[@michelineheise5959]

Wow! That was a adventure. 😮 😅 let's celebrate victory 🏆

[@fire-fox]

Always good video.Sorry about your breakdown. Must say, love all your videos

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks!

[@1jackvalley580]

Yes this is a bummer, unfortunately as we know vehicles "ALL BREAK DOWN" and with your chosen lifestyle, and where you choose to live, it can be really tough when they do break down. Wishing you the best🙏😎🚚

[@MomFoodPlantandThings]

Timmy, do we get a Sunday video? Okay, you're spoiling us with this video. When did the membership start?

[@TruckHouseLife]

It's out;) just started membership stuff a few days ago.
