RIP Toyota Corolla (Flew 350' down steep hill). Alex is going to be super fit at the rate he's doing these car fishing jobs LOL. We got this job for a Toyota Corolla, that came in as 250' over the side at our special spot on Angeles Crest Highway. Thankfully we carry extra rope in our rotators, because this car was closer to 350'.
After some fun hiking and easy quick rigging using BA car straps, Alex hiked back up the hill and started to winch the vehicle back up the hill. Once the main boom line was close to being fully retracted, he walked down the other cable to attach to the car so he can get rid of the slack from the synthetic extension.
Now that the car was successfully winched to the top, Alex did a 4 part pick to lift the entire car and swing directly onto Vicente's flatbed for safe and easy transport back to the yard. What did you guys think of this "fishing" trip?
Don't forget to head to www.pepestowla.com/shop after the video and grab your cool Pepe's swag to represent your favorite tow company!
►All footage was shot with Alex's Apple 14 Pro Max, GoPro 11 and Mavic 3 Drone. I also edit my own footage using DaVinci Resolve Studio.

You should get yourself a rangefinder like what they use in golf. It may help you calculate the range from the top of the hill to the car..

Penalty for ditching a car down those slopes should be for the driver to have to go back and pick up the trash including the car parts. Seems only fair to the countryside to clean it up.

Alex, I know others have said this but I think you and Josh would benefit from some rock climbing classes. Take the whole family, they're great for kids too. Being able to repel down and ascend back up could be pretty beneficial with some of these recoveries, like the bridge one. It's great cardio and a ton of fun, and super addictive (in a good way).

Fantastic effort for you both!

I couldn't help but bust out laughing when the drone crashed. Funny, not funny. Drones aren't cheap. Great job on the recovery. 👍 Watching from SW Louisiana. I work for a tow company with 2 rollbacks in its fleet. While we may be a small company, the recovery work is just as difficult at times, especially, with burned up rollovers. I may do the paperwork in the office, but the drivers tell me stories about the difficulty. They are not all easy peasy like people may think. 🙏

That looks like another Angelus Crest highway crash. I think those little bugs that you are worried about Alex are little Nats. They like to fly up your nose. I was getting a little worried about you going down that hill that maybe the zopilotes might find you down there. Maybe that's why the drone crashed it thought one was after it. No worries though you could catch one and cook it for Thanksgiving. Another good job senor. You do very good work.
