We didn't know what we were getting into when we got to this recovery! Snowy and icy conditions caused a truck with a full trailer full of wood to crash down a ravine! Without the Rat Rod Wrecker's motor swap complete we had to use other resources. Will it work? Check it out!

@timothywilkins1831 5 ай бұрын
You'll find that the pulley rings like you're using here with no bearings act as a friction device under heavy load, and will lower your pulling efficiency a bunch! They work ok under normal conditions but instead of doubling you might only get 1.4 times the winch rating. I've done a similar winch-out like above before, but used a tree above the road with a pulley uphill in-line with the slope below the road, tow line through it to each car and just drove the winchin car downhill so the car that needed hauling went up like a lift! no need to rely on the winch power, just a long and strong tow line to the two vehicles. Can't imagine how much tougher it would have been in the cold and snow like this, though! hardly any traction. Great job mate

Good Morning Paul and Crew! Hope You all are doing well! I find myself constantly and consistently Awaiting the next video to drop, I smash that like button before the video even starts because I've never seen one yet that wasn't rad. I love Paul's laid back attitude, and positivity and way he keeps a level head no matter the situation. I love seeing how good of a father, teacher and mentor is to his kids and has always encouraged them to use his tools and build their own stuff like the Derby Mowers, the Go carts and Dirt bikes and now their cars and trucks as they're old enough to drive. my dad was a great teacher to me with 2strokes and Old trucks but I was always scared shitless to use his tools when he wasn't there, not even sure why,he wasn't a mean dad or anything I think it was just me feeling like I was trying to be responsible and respectful, but I honestly wish I had wrenched on more as a little kid by myself, that's one of the best ways to learn hands on, trial and error, see what works and what doesn't, how something comes apart (and more importantly back together 😂) your kids are gonna all be super capable and self sufficient which is what every parent could hope to instill in the youth they are the future

Whenever I need to lift a heavy trailer, I get all the extra people to sit on the tail to lighten the tongue. Coordinating multiple people to lift at the same time can be questionable, but once they are sitting or standing on the back end, one person can easily hook it up. Even the kids get to help.

That was one crazy recovery, I didn't know how you were going to do that without the wrecker. That was a lot of rigging. The FJ went down the ravine, pulled the truck and trailer into position and almost made it out, all in snow. And a bit of wrenching ahead on the Toyota now. A good day's work, always good to see these recoveries. Thanks for posting this one.
