There's NO WAY you'll recover that truck! (Rescuing a Chevy Silverado)

First we have to go back. Is it morning? It is morning already. Have you ever seen Matt prepare this for a job? Then we got a call for a Chevy

truck

. Is it a Chevy

truck

? A Chevy. Yeah, so we got a call for a half-ton Chevy. truck that got stuck on Boulder Mountain last fall of 2019 and went off the road and they couldn't get it back and they sent out other token openings to see if they could go get it and no one was successful so we headed there to see if we can get it .

We have Ryan with me. We have the camera crew in the back seat. We also invited Ed to come and he decided that he wasn't going to spoil this adventure, so he will follow us in the Dakota. We're meeting Paul from Fab Rats at the junction here and we'll see if we can get him out, don't worry I'm just waiting for Matt as usual here so we have a clear path across everything. top of the rock to get to this thing anyway the keys were left in our main park yeah he said good luck we'll go give it a try there the keys for a guy who drove the wrong way yeah I have no expectations because I don't know what's up out there, but the reports we're getting from search and rescue people around here direct us to a pretty wild, pretty tough situation and they're betting against us, okay, we're ready.

Okay, come on, we'd really like to finish work today, but we brought all of our camping gear in case it's a two-day event. Yes, Dave from the Forest Service, he said, coming from Tori. Paul talked to someone and some guys. who are from there saying there is another way in but there may be motorcyclists yeah well it looks like the trail continues from highway 12 but I mean just look for an aerial view of a man in a cardiac event yeah , it can't be done. Tell the terrain at all that you don't know what you're getting into, so it's probably the smartest option to take the same path he took that got to where you had the problem, yeah, okay, then exit to the next intersection. , next to something that is big enough. to drop this rail, you brought us that road of yours, okay, no, I lost it, I never tightened them, how long are they loose on one, those are 585 18, the other one is not, you want to tighten it for us, yeah, right is that so?

I'm sure I have another spacer so this is a solution for the road and everyone who will say jeeps are terrible are one hundred percent the worst. You completely agree that they don't, but they are hard to compare. You were bouncing all over the place when you said you were in for a shock so it didn't even have to be like there was no way. I know. Not only do I know that's the problem, but I know why I waited a good two miles. really loose in the rear with the shocks not mounted correctly anyway that's an update from the top of the mountain boulder man one handed I like driving like that I'm not even paying attention now before us like I can't go back did you go ?

That's why we keep waiting. Hi, ma'am. I mean four wheels on top of that. As we continue down this main road, it's getting more and more deteriorated, so we find ourselves on a two-way road and rock gardens, that's kind of it. the two options that we have beautiful, we are there, okay, our friends in this way. Wow, we're going to go up there, we're going to win to go back into the fire, get out of here and then that way back up, come on, I want. to go too high wait we'll see your ball back first you lift the front first the back spin slide down that parachute tell me what you're thinking I'm thinking walking with Parker the whole process right here parking the truck right here running a starter block that tree , go back to the back of the truck, okay, and get in the back, setting it up and then hooking it up, I pull another chuck up there with a winch once it's in reverse and then I tighten it up and then I hook it up. the front with the starter block and while you're pulling back where we can tie that front to something you had a tree, just to keep it from moving a ton, but we're going to have to come back here, everyone come back here, no. -

recover

y trucks yeah they didn't get very far although my lungs are burned oh so let's unload all the non-

recover

y gear all I want is some bug spray with you we can get you to the bottom when can configure it.

Clarify up here we can hook the ropes and all that together pull a bolt at the same time. I like it much better, let's wander over there and see if we can figure it out somewhere like here around that tree, this would be the Once it starts coming, if you're hooked to one of these other trees, you won't move forward, yeah, we'll just slide everything down and pull it back far enough at the same time. Yeah, we know what rope we need to tie you so we don't have to pull it up and then pull it out from the other end and then you can stretch this puppy out, okay, that's good, so what we're doing here is just giving an anchor. to Paul, so when he starts the winch and doesn't get off the hill, what was that body cheating about?

But right now I'm taking it lightly. Your rear tires are going to fall off. I received a gift, look at that cable. Mine will have to recover some, okay, but let me put my hitch in there, okay, and we can put a shackle on it, yeah, we can put a shack on it, that would be much better. I mean, I would, we all have to. Are they filming? Just go crazy, yeah, these guys, the YouTube channel, he does this stuff, look at all the discoveries. Oh great, what's the name of Matt's off-road? Okay, you'll see this one appear under I'm blocked now.

He was working Hey rolling, are you sure he's not a bark anymore? Stop, tell it to stop, let me see if I can change the front, oh yeah, why did you come in for a second? Yeah, I'll go open the hood, huh, is that him? It's going to start off good Oh no, she's been well maintained, nice and clean, he says he's willing to trade this truck job, you guys keep the rope tight, drive out of here, back, yeah, here while you're at it to the left, okay, just a little. But don't move from there, no matter what I do, we're going to try to get the front of the nose towards the road, there I secured a little more, okay, I'm thinking about staying, yeah, yeah, I think if you did . to stay in the whole little band, everyone's back and you're going to right the truck, yeah you're climbing higher, I think you really should be down here, yeah I think so too, if that's the case.

Why don't you move to the right and move down here and then don't worry. I don't have anything here. Hey, I want to say something, the camera over there probably wants to be okay when I'm in a situation like this and I have to touch the truck. I don't think I can stop it from rolling. That will be the quickest indicator of this thing starting to move, so I don't have to be looking at it and I'm using the sense of touch of the device. To feel what this vehicle is doing, this is going much better, I thought I was going to where that trunk that way I got it.

I have ten feet of chain. It's okay, I'm stuck with it because I have enough. of sliding fall, he's making us start helping him back up, okay, hey, look away from that rope, fellas, yeah, hey, get up on the hill, look and see everything. I want you at least behind that tree, okay, your reverse lights are Paul's indicator to pull, so when I say stop, put it back in neutral, okay, go ahead, right over those rocks, turn together to the other side on the driver's side, yes, more driver, straighten it out, that's good, right there, little driver, there we are touching the rear differential, no, that's okay.

Are you clear, okay, okay, go passenger, wait, it's coming from the descent, beautiful, let me roll, okay, go ahead Ryan, why the drivers are pretty good, a little bit, hold the brake line, we have a lot of things in one side, a little, not bad, Ryan, what. If I start to back off, I really felt good, you wouldn't really be mad about it, yeah, I mean, I couldn't get over it, listen here, yeah, so, it'll come out easier than I thought. The battery was good and started now. We put a jump box on him but he started well.

I hope you have enough fuel. We have more. I have something. I'll end up a little shaved. I don't know what the temperament of this thing is. I think you could be better. to go back up where you came down, which is where right here you're going to start leaning a little bit that way, it was good to get there, banana, my exhaust bolts, I couldn't get the work done in my shop to my left or here. The trail was groomed well, so we got there and got the truck to drive a lot. I wasn't too excited when I saw it, it was much worse than the picture, they show pictures all day that looked like they were on a decent road in reality. yeah I don't know, it was a bit sketchy driving there but everyone had a good idea to fix it and the rest of the team listened to him and did what he said, it came out exactly like he did. he said done well yeah well thanks for coming what do you have to say Ryan?

He looked worse once we got there. I'm glad he turned out as well as he did. He immediately started pulling it out. Yeah, I'm just going to drive home. I did not think. He was resting against the tree in the picture, he seemed to be reveling in it, there were three of them, he was balanced there. I can't say enough about my team on this job and thanks for looking, where did you get this truck? Boulder Mountain next to a cliff
