We've got a good one today. This Toyota pickup along with a trailer was abandoned in a creek for a year before we were able to go in and remove it. We want to say a special thanks to the ACC BOATR members who helped make this possible!

I’d put money on it that the Toyota can run again with oil, plugs wires, coil and some gas. Not a bad little beater yota. Change the fluids call it a day

Love to visit that area when I can. I like watching offroad recoveries because someday I plan to be out there, and I'm watching how people get stuck and how the recovery people get them out. Looking forward to more videos by you folks.

Sorry, a Key bounce posted an incomplete message. As I was saying, You are obviously upset by a comment that was meant to encourage. But you have not bothered to look back over the video to see just what was wrong for yourselves. It appears that you have taken the "newbe" attitude that I know it all, nothing else matters. OK I'll point out one Glaring dangerous mistake, then you go look for the rest there are 3 bad ones, and if you can't see the rest for yourself??????? you figure it out. All the way through this recovery you have a "man" in the firing line should a line break, especially as you didn't even check for that obstructions, or you would have seen the log behind the back wheels putting eve more strain on the rope now go look for the rest. and one of the "Just things a winch user would normally know" might pay to know just how long an electric winch can run for, with out rest/cooling.
