This Native Of The Navajo Tribe… Gives Better Directions Than OnX OFF-ROAD !!!

On today’s episode Wrecker Rick and De Niro travel over 300 miles for an off-road recovery of a Ford F250 stuck on the Navajo reservation. Wrecker Rick’s arch, nemesis, SAND, is at it again today, folks. On the way, they have to stop by Flagstaff in order to get the proper tools they will need to ensure their success.  Wrecker Rick and De Niro run into a friendly helper along the way who informs them that they took a wrong turn. He then directs them on the two different routes they can take to make it to the buried vehicle.
When Wrecker and De Niro arrive on scene they must first change a tire and wheel out and then wait for the customer to arrive. While they wait Wrecker Rick enjoys an ice cold water from his new Canyon Cooler.
Canyon Cooler is not a sponsor but it would be cool if they were.
Once the customer arrives, they find out that it is a team of archaeologist who are exploring the terrain underneath of the power lines, which were installed back in the 60s. It is their job to ensure there are no historical or important sites along the way. 
Wrecker Rick uses a Mojab Jack, Yankum ropes’ fair leads, tow point hitch and Bailey’s rigging for this recovery. Oh, don’t forget the side puller action on Black Betty. The stuck vehicle comes out with ease, and then the happy customers drive away into the sunset.

Canyon Coolers are legit and their people are even better. They are true off-roaders and outdoors people and they’ve parked a Jeep on their coolers without damaging them. As good as they get.

Hell yeah, Navajo directions are the best, 😊

[@Chris-lp3dm]

I looked up the Mojab Jack, wow that's one pricey jack! Looks pretty darn good but not on my little retirement income. Anyway, you guys did a real good job getting all the way out there to help those archeologists out of a jam. Along the way you not only educated them on how not to get stuck but you were very polite and respectful to the locals. I'll never understand how some folks just can't figure out how simply being nice and kind and helpful is the best way of living. Good going!

[@Sakratic]

Wrecker Rick, I gotta admit seeing the sound logic you go by is truly refreshing!!! Because in this day in age, especially with the current state of our society, that's unfortunately very rare to come across.

Where’s your right hand man HOT ROD been ??? In the wind?? On lockdown from the wife?? Baby sitting??? Or did you send him packing??? Good thing old Deniro was there for the assistance of changing the tire and it’s a good thing that you were there to get the tire out of the back of the truck for him!!! Keep the amazing content coming and I can’t wait for the next episode to come!!! Oh and relatives can’t leave they on lockdown at the shop and on 24 hour call 😂😂😂😂😂 !!! Stay classy Wrecker Rick!!!!

I might be mistaken but that Geo guy immediately was worried about airing the tires back up after getting told "this is the way to drive around" out there. I wonder if they will let the air out before they are laying frame again.

[@Sdukes001]

I don’t ever run 70lbs in the tires rides like garbage. Run mine at 45-40 psi they are 37x13.50r17. Then you can still air down a lil off the pavement or keep them above that and enjoy the bumps. Guess the Carli with kings does help too but that’s your choice if you run it or not.
