Jeep Liberty Rollover 100 Miles In The Backcountry

stay after the video for an update on the corvair uh you won't want to miss it on set sorry we got a call for a

jeep

liberty

that's apparently on its cover we didn't get any photos because I guess it was dark when it happened no they took nothing. We'll meet the client here in Leeds and then head north of Burl Junction, into the mountains, and see if we can get him out. It's going to be interesting there because we're going to try to make it work because it's so high up, if we can't, we'll have to move it away before we can get it on the trailer.

It's such a beautiful day, it's 64 degrees. The sun has risen. We have the boss with us today. How is he doing? Let's pull the car back. We have Rudy and Tim in Rudy's xj. So this should be fun. We'll probably use the winches quite a bit. Well, hello, do you love me? hiding, oh just get in the back seat here, I was going to sit there in the burrito, so at the gas station we were counting on in Newcastle, there's no gas, so we're trying to find some food, like I said, the gasoline. station we were planning on at the pumps were all closed I think the stores were still open they were still open because the cost we should have gotten some food there but we thought we had to go to Enterprise but then we noticed this place had gas and diesel, which is what we need and we just hope that there is some food where the grocery section is, yeah, like burritos or hot dogs or something like that, oh, yes they have, oh, we have burritos, so we're about 20

miles

. away from the vehicle, the roads are starting to get too primitive for the power stroke, so we are looking for a spacious place to start and unload, this is some wild and rugged country out here, the coffee will fit in well, okay Rudy, let's go.

Take the unnecessary stuff out of the back of your

jeep

and put it in the truck and let's load all the equipment we think we're going to need. Max got kicked out of Rudy's jeep for pumping gas, which he still does here. It's just not like that. It won't last as long as the jeep. Yes, we have a pretty good ventilation system. I just have to get to these roads here. I don't know the best way to do it, so we have to follow this road system. there, that's a wash, but it gets here to the road systems, so I'm thinking about crossing right there, yeah, so you walk, you liked it west, out of the wash, oh, I actually walked west, northwest, so we were talking to the customer and apparently, um, he spun his front driveshaft, so it's only two-wheel drive, this was before we rolled it, so we're walking into a pretty hairy mess, we'll understand, How sure are you that we know where we are?

We go to where he is because he doesn't seem very sure he knows where he is. He sent me a pin and I have that I'm driving towards the pin. Okay, but I could be wrong about where the pin is. It wouldn't be the first time, that's for sure, is that okay with you? Yes, we are in the right place. I think we're also a mile or more away. OK. Yes, it's very good. Yes that's fine. Max. ready to run a little bit come on so we're moving down the trail here and it's starting to get a lot twistier and narrower um a little bit closer this is a pretty big vehicle I mean compared to a jeep , especially a jeep

liberty

, so Look, but yeah, it's definitely getting harder, we're not even supposed to do recoveries with this yet because it's not finished, but it's really hard to resist so he said he said the police He was able to get here about half a mile away. where he was with his full size vehicles, so we're still seeing police tracks, so I guess we have about half a mile to go, at least, look at the dogs having their drink. up there I want to see the video of the Liberty driving around here oh how do I look good?

I'd hang this way a little, sorry, this way, still like this, um, I'm trying, okay, that must be as far as the cops came, yeah, the cops turned around a while ago, well, there was some footprints there, so now we're half a mile away from him, three or four blocks, he says, okay, come on, he must be between 40 and 50, right? Yeah guys watching this? This is simply ridiculous. I can't imagine it. I wouldn't expect a Jeep Liberty up here, but that's what we're going to get. We have gone down quite a bit as we have passed. some crazy stuff where did the guy go?

I don't know, you did that, you know what I mean, yeah, you keep both tired on each bench, that's the only narrow spot we're heading towards right now, yeah, and it widens who. You know, okay Rudy, let's talk about this, I'm thinking, I like the way it looks there, oh man, what do we have for strong trees there? There's a couple of pine trees and stuff, yeah, I'm speechless, I'm speechless, so that's where it came down, so the master plan is to park the Corvair probably in this hole and we'll run the winch line up to a tree and then we will return to the jeep and turn the jeep into the wash further and further. so yeah, putting it on its wheels is like number one right now, now we have it, now we won't lose, so we're going to take it nice and slow and see what happens here.

I have used it. I have used. kinetic ropes for tree savers before they work wonders, but this is the first time we've used a freedom winch line as a legit recovery, so we'll see how that works standing down there in the triangle of death, so There will be people saying how dangerous it is, you might want to show them how much slack there is in the line. I won't be standing here when you turn, although I can assure you that's what was going to happen, so here's the plan. We are going now. work to get it running if you want to work on the trash picking up the mess, so since it's been on your cover since Sunday and now it's Tuesday, let's take out all the spark plugs and you know, get all the oil. that seeps through, look beyond the rings coming out of the cylinder so we can start it without destroying it, that's the plant, see if we can start it, we can get it out of here without starting it, but if we can start it, that's a He who changes the game, freedom wins, the line is strong, yes, it works fast, I'm not looking for a soft shackle, no, that was amazing and you used one of the hooks further back, that's amazing, okay, as you were, it's going to hit it , we're thinking that going out this way is what makes the most sense, so we'll start with that, I mean, every way is bad, but this way I hope that without front wheel drive it will be pretty helpless, yeah, we're going to put it . in front so I can tow it when it gets stuck, yeah, yeah, and I'll follow.

There's a nice ramp right in front of that tree to get back to the road, on the road, so tough, your jeep, um, you'll have I'm going to try to drive to where you are, but it's just this side of those trees is where We'll go out, okay, okay, here you have to put some transmission fluid in it. I'm not doing you any good, yeah, well. How are you doing so far? We thought about bringing motor oil, but we didn't think about bringing transmission fluid, but luckily I know that motor oil works as transmission fluid. In a pinch, all of this will have to go through a wash for everything.

So this will not cause any harm in the long term and will benefit your health a lot in the short term. I just didn't even use all my shame. There is a big advantage in having a little momentum. Well, I'll just follow you okay. We're going to take it out for a minute. I'll probably get really high. I just want to say that you guys said the truck's roof clearance was short. How's that? I'm pretty relaxed, but anyway, we'll get it out of here. We've got a couple of tough times coming up, but I'm wondering if we should stay connected for a minute.

Hey, it's okay again, Rudy, go, you're okay. I can't believe I drove this thing here. I can't believe you took it that far the other night. I was spinning around and my exhaust got bent around the axle, so temporarily, so I could drive it, I cut it off and I thought I cut it far enough back to not affect the gas tank and we also have a broken spring, yeah, it I know, so we have three vehicles that need to be towed home and a trailer that we will haul. figure it out please just pile them tired so yeah it's getting hot it's trapping it between the body and yeah it's okay just get out of here what's the plan?

Well, we have to come up with a plan. I think I can drive this home without The problem was with the slower stuff where the heat couldn't get through well. I think that's from the highway. Do you think it's from the highway? Yes, that's when you're generating a lot of volume at those high levels, so if you take it easy. It's mostly downhill, yeah, I'll see it here in a minute, yeah, you can get out, so we went up there, turned it around, got the fluids back to where they needed to be, started running and got out of there. he's on his way home he said he wanted to drive it so that's what he's doing it's really hard to see through the windshield yeah you're not you don't have great visibility through the windshield so I wasn't going to fight him, right?

OK? So what's going on with the Corvair? We touched up the paint, then we took it to Carter's Custom Upholstery in Cedar City and they lowered the interior, the headliner and a couple of other interior things, the dash and the hinge cover and stuff, and then we're going to take it down, put the glass on it, that's what's been going on behind the scenes, we're not going to show you any of that or we're going to show you very little of it anyway, thanks for watching and I can. I won't wait to reveal the Corvair to you but I won't show it to you until it's done.
