Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery - Radical Hill Rolled Jeep

On Thursday August 31st, 2017 a highly trained all Volunteer 100% NON-PAID Team from Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery headed up Radical Hill trail just south of Montezuma, Colorado to recover a Rolled Jeep JK off the side of the mountain.
The jeep rolled 538 linear feet (verified by GPS coordinates and on google earth). The driver has one HELLUVA story posted on his personal facebook page at: / ccie25819
The team from CO4X4RNR was above tree line for over 10 hours yesterday working on extracting this vehicle from the trail. it took every bit of ingenuity we could dream up to get that thing rolling on its own wheels. We even had donated take-off parts from Bullhide 4x4 in Fort Collins CO (controls arms etc). We had 4 tires holding air and back on the beads until one of our plugs blew out half way down... so we took that now front flat tire and transferred it to the back so we could continue to steer the wrecked jeep down the trail.
amazingly enough the steering was intact and operational!!!
a full set of pics can be seen at: media/set/?s...
I left my house at 0500 hours and returned 18 hours later at 2300! walked right into my house, took a shower and crashed!
Fantastic work team!!! See you on the next one.

I’ve been around a bit and that was the most controlled recovery I’ve ever seen.

Just wanted to chime in and say thanks to the volunteer crew for both their time and the video footage. As a former EMT, current WFR, and off road enthusiast I consider it all valuable intel. Looking forward to watching other footage of your recoveries. It's super valuable to see to both remind of what can happen and show how to deal with it if it does. To the arm chair quarterbacks saying "how did anyone ever roll here", screw off. Whatever led you to your high horse, I'm sure it was full of close calls on seemingly moderate terrain. If it wasn't you just haven't had a bad day yet. And when you do, you best hope a crew like these guys are around to help.

believe it or not, we had to be careful to not wreck it more. the extremely long haul out of the forest to pavement for a tow truck was quite the adventure.

@hph1488 Жыл бұрын

The vests are pretty much useless. Anyone taking part of this knew where their guys were. I'd understand in a busy area, but this is a remote off-road area. The vests are unnecessary in this instance. Safety first I guess

Long hard work and requires a ton of skills, equipment and ingenuity. I was thinking man this has to cost thousands for some of these the recoveries, and then I see you guys are non profit volunteers!!!!! 👏👏 hats off to you guys that's awesome.

I have seen so many that have rolled and that part of the jeep is crushed. back on to the driver and passenger. even with the brace that goes from the roll cage to the upper part of the frame. Kudos to the recovery team.

This is a complicated matter. The stock roll cage isn't adequate for massive rollovers like this. Serious beef up of roll cage should also result in other safety measures as well like a harness. This is a pretty horrific roll over.
