Paul got a call from Matt while Paul was working out of town to help with a recovery. He didn't have the Taco with him, so Rudy picked it up for him so he could help! Upon arriving, a Ford Excursion was on the brink of tumbling down the mountain side, so Paul and Matt got to work! Check out if Fab Rats and Matt's Off Road Recovery can pull it off.............literally!

I like how you and Matt just figure stuff out, there isn't a competition for "who's the best recovery guy" or "who gets the credit".

You and Matt are so much fun to watch when you work together. Love it! This was a simple mistake the driver made that could have been a huge disaster, but you guys come from many hours away, to meet at a location that was ill defined, and everyone just goes happily to work to rescue this truck. No matter that you get a little cut up or dirty. This reminds me of the tow out you made of a truck that had fallen into a cave-in on the road that left it hanging in space.

I put welding lead ends on my winch and on both ends of my truck so that the winch can be moved to either front or the back of truck and get good power to the winch. Yes it takes some big wire ran to each end and connectors that just twist together.

I used to take a chain block with me off-roading. They were great because you could put a pull on whatever was stuck and the block would hold the load while you used other pullers to get the stuck vehicle moving. They would have been ideal for that situation, and cheap. Great video.

Well done on a tricky extraction folks. Have done a couple sorta similar in our BC mountains, though admittedly none are the same ever really.
