Toyota 4Runner Gets Trapped At Gunlock Falls

So we get a call for a Toyota 4Runner that's stuck in some sand, maybe at a slight angle near the Gun Lock Reservoir, so we're going to go out and see if we can get out. We have Colin here with the weather. It's a beautiful Sunday morning, just clear skies, beautiful day, we'll take them out, I've got R in the back, I'm here with them, buying this Toyota to run and Peanut is here, hey peanut, this is the first job with the mor since We got the new transfer case, so we'll see how it goes, we'll give you a full report, so there's the lake, right there's where all the gun locks are.

The

falls

are fine, we'll go get him, we have the keys. Peanut, are you ready to go out, huh, look how deep this is, boy, we're almost there. The two wheel drive game is strong today, it's a lot lower, oh yeah that's so cute, cute, we should probably put it on four wheels. Driving but we're not going to do it yet. It looks very precarious there, doesn't it? Oh my god, I want to know why I brought a catch. I have air underneath. Full air. Look, we're right by the lake fishing. If only. After a couple of minutes, the couple R'ed saying we should have brought fishing rods instead of retrieving cover gear yes, yes, he has a tire completely off the ground, yes, I want a toe tip, a toe protector trees, a soft shackle and nothing else, what do you think the peanut does?

You think this vehicle is in danger, so like almost everything we do, there are many different ways to do it. We could do it with kinetic energy, like we could use Matt's recovery rope. I'm going to do something we don't do. do it very often just to keep it interesting for me and hopefully for you you have a really good solid tree here so let's do a redirect you're going to want this to be as low as possible you're going to want to use a good protector trees like this, so this is not one of the new ones, they have an improved version of this, it will work absolutely amazing for what we're doing today, although we're going to get this. hooked up and we'll be back in a minute okay we've got the winch right here we've got a redirect right here saer tree and then we're hooked up to our tow point here we've got our freedom winch line so between the line of the freedom winch and rope toll points Yanen I think we're going to get this out of here okay Colin you'll be in the recovered vehicle Rett you're in the winch I guess I'm in the camera today let's get this out of here okay , go ahead and start it up, I've got oil pressure Yeah, it looks good, okay, low four, yeah, okay, done, okay R.

Pull it a little bit, okay, you'll notice there's no one inside the triangle of the death, okay, go a little. Colin, okay, that's good, I think we're out of here, well, that worked well. We like to have them up here where R can't reach them, don't we? Yes, the winch is saved for lunch or the winch, I said winch, oh. It sounded like lunch to me, there's been concern about the trees, so let's go see the tree, I don't even see a piece, okay, now turn around, okay, we're going to bring it over here, where the further they go there, no risk of going off the road again this is a good ride this Toyota is in excellent condition this is a manual and I know nowadays that's a deal breaker for some people, but if you grew up around me, I'm going to drive a manual so this is the spill w for the Gunlock tank.

I don't know how much water comes out through it, but when it's really full and running this is a very spectacular sight, so if you like streams, rock climbing pools and beautiful scenery this is a great little trip, come and do it, well you promised them the

falls

, here they are, we supply and deliver if you've never chewed on a pine needle you're missing out, this is like the woods, camping and Christmas. in one memory, it's so amazing, you said this is smoother than the previous one, no, I just said it rides smoother than I thought, oh, it's definitely not smoother than the previous one, but it's a smooth ride, There is actually only one obstacle on this trail and that is the one we did before.

I'm going to go out and try to show you how steep that concludes our side by side comparison of the Toyota 4Runner versus the mor. I'm giving them a three, well, they don't. I even know what it comes from, oh, what about every four? Yeah, sorry guys, I'm not perfect at manual. I drive an old Corvair and the clutch is coming loose, so how was it? Not that bad, not that bad, there you go. sweet, thank you so much, yeah, there you go, thanks, okay guys, have a great day, load up, come in to stay, okay, stay back here, you have to stay back here because you're all wet, Colin, that's it his job to make sure she stays behind.

There, for you to enter out of the goodness of my heart. I'm going to let my little brother have the front seat or the SE. How did it work well? You like change. I liked it. Okay, it wasn't that bad. We were definitely in a tough situation, we were able to get them out of there without too much trouble, plus we did a short trip in Wheeling, so I'd say it was a win-win situation. Second, it was a great day. I don't know what I'm going to do the rest of the day. I understand that if you are like me you have to eat and today we are going to eat this.

There is a great company called Just Meats and they send you all kinds of pre seasoned meats are great because they are sourced locally in the Rocky Mountain area. Grass-fed beef. Grass-fed chicken. Just open the package and it's there. All you have to do is heat it up, so this is what we're going to do today. We are going to eat beef and chicken fajitas, how safe is the plantain, we will heat it right there, very good, we are going to cook our food, we are going to hit the road, so who is hungrier? Oh, I'm starving.

It's okay, just reach in there and pinch whatever you want, don't spill it because it's precious, is it good?

It's right here, now, back to work, who doesn't eat this? Why aren't you eating this? Let's go now so we got a call to confirm that we have some kind of van that came through Bloomington Pass. the poppy with bear claw hooked the left one fell into the river but didn't make it because they got stuck in the sand so we head there to see if we can get them out we have peanuts with the weather it's really nice today oh that's horrible no If you're that guy I'm pretty sure we'll get him out we'll pick up the customer in the parking lot and we'll get out that's the guy that's the guy okay well we've got Bryce here he's the one with his truck stuck down there he just looks a little bit high focused on the photos uh yeah, it shouldn't be that bad the last time I was here we had a navigator that was on the Rock and then over there I have that jeep that had overturned at the bottom of that oh yeah, Ravine, one of Peanut's favorite things is being there with you, she likes to snuggle, so this particular place that we go to, you're on some kind of plateau hill and then you drive down to the river and then you drive right down to the river, it becomes very steep really fast right at the end, so my dad was saying this is where they dragged Lizzy with a gold Honda or whatever. this is where it starts to get steep right here col oh wow, he see this isn't really crazy and he likes that he doesn't need to detect or anything.

I'm trying one of these days to capture the steepness. and narrow this is today I'm going to try to do that I don't know if it's going to work so the river is clear down there I think I know how to show you how steep it is I don't think I even showed it okay it's not even the steep point , the really steep spot is here, straighten it out, so imagine it's twice as steep as it looked on camera, we've got our eyes on the prize right there, I think backwards is better, oh yeah, okay. yeah, just back off, looks good, let's let Colin recover.

I'm just going to stand here and admire the sunset, it's beautiful, Peanut and I look at her like some kind of otter out there, a soft shackle. No, no, no, heavens, I won't give you a little bit. I don't do this enough apparently it was a trap. I have to train that boy. Listen. You get a textbook when you take an important exam. He's fine. You take a look at your notes. or whatever, I was using my resources, you have to take notes, this is how you want to do this last bit so that it is straight and the first half wavy like this, okay, there are a couple of things happening, we never talked about this.

I'm just going to mention a couple of things when using the kinetic rope for the kinetic pole, you're going to want the right size rope for what we're doing. Here we are using a 7/8 rope that covers your lighter vehicles. your 3,000 lb to 5,000 lb vehicles, so that's what we're going to use on this um Colin, you're going to do a medium rare pull and then let her eat when you get to the end, okay? You're going to get Bryce into his own truck, what you're going to do is put it in reverse, right? and you're not going to help much, you're going to put it in reverse, take your Take your foot off the brake and then when it starts to move a little bit, just accelerate a little bit, not much, okay Colin, you're ready, okay, no. accelerate I wanted to find my rope, okay, don't speed up until you start moving, okay, stop, beautiful. right, it worked well, good job, okay, tell them why you were cautious with the first one.

I like to find the rope first, so I was a little cautious with the first one. After you find the rope, you can hit harder. Do what you have to do, so that's it. Another thing about these kinetic ropes is that you don't go full blast if you're in a situation where the vehicle that's pulling isn't going to get stuck, you can sneak up a little bit and do another well, I was telling Colin that. will stop eating after hitting the end of the rope. You'll usually never do that once you get to the end of the rope. um, you make the rope more pull, but if that doesn't work, it doesn't move, then stepping on the gas is just going to bury you in this situation.

I wanted to let the mor do some traction there because I think it's cool and that's why I did it. Colin is going to show you something. fancy drive not too fancy though just the right amount of fancy okay, let's go for a run, run down the beach, come on pet, okay let's see what he's got, spin a donut right here without rolling it, keep it in first gear, okay, that was a bit of fun if you don't like that kind of thing. Sorry, but if you like that kind of thing, you're welcome. Ready for dinner.

I am, yeah, so how was that big suspension? It's a little soft, it's not exactly a drift car, okay, let's look at the different approaches to going up, okay, that's the way, the more it crawls up, look at which direction this truck is going, I think it'll just It's going to go up here, where we're going, okay. Go get a Bry shirt. I'll try a big one after that we can go catch the guy who stole your sleeves. I always wanted to do that dad joke. Okay, there you go, sweet, thank you, awesome, thank you bro, thank you all, well, anyway, that was it.

We got it out, let's go home, thank you very much for watching your turn, your turn, I love my brother very much, yes, he thinks they gave him a shotgun.
