If i was in the desert for a FUN. i will bring BUGGY. or Quad. or if i bring a Yukon. it better be lIFTED and BIG BIG TIRES. with FLAPS

 

[ezdaar]

Those are guys are idiots.
Not airing down tires.
Jerking the crap out of other trucks.
Not digging out tires before trying to be pulled out.
The list is a mile long.

They are wrong on so many levels. The tailpipe was easily noticed. probably no hanger from mid length of truck back. May they were trying to get a bobbling effect.

This looks like a lot more fun in the desert:

I think the bronco had broken motor mounts. Because the tailpipe only went down when it was put in reverse.

i'd love to do that with the tahoe. be a heck of a drive to get anywhere like that though...

 

[TahoeTaz]

Its like anything else, the fun comes in knowing what you're doing, before you do it. Otherwise, its a series of expensive (and/or painful) lessons. No desserts within a 24 hour drive around here, so I'll keep to what I know... snow.

 

[tybardy]

How many times did these guys piss on the toilete seat before they finally just lifted it!?!?!?

Did they think the same plan would work the 5th time around? And as mentioned, not one of these dudes had the sense to dig the tires out first?

 

[moviewithnotitle]

My share... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJA3J--g_yI Love that one

What kills me in 90% of the videos I see about this stuff is their lack of understanding about their equipment. No use of a Winch!!! No use of Low-range. No airing down tires, no digging, no hi-lift jacks. No boards under wheels.
...and not to mention the fact that NONE of these guys appear to be very good at geometry or trigonometry.

OMG> thats **** up.. Cant that be Repair? ofcourse

Question: If you was on that Exact same situation what would you Done differently..

its easy to say its a Stupind move. but What can you actually do to remove that JEEP of that MUD?

 

[tybardy]

I dont know what I would have done differently to be quite honest!

Without seeing a lay of the land, I cant say from this video... however, my pops always told me there are only two ways to pull a stuck vehicle out... forward, or backward... crooked like this video was not one of those two ways!

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

looks like someone needs to discover a shovel. and pulling the jeep sideways was a BRILLIANT idea.

What he said, dig, put some wood or something underneath the tires for some traction. I'd hate to have to pay for the tow to get that jeep home...

 

[longstand]

You Serious. I guest!!!

That will be A LOT of DIGGING. look at the video dude. that's DEEP into the mud.

i guest its better to DIG than to spend $$$$ on repair.

 

[TahoeTaz]

The more extreme off-roading you choose to do, the more difficult your recovery is. The saying goes, 4x4 doesn't prevent you from getting stuck, just gets you stuck in more difficult places. If you're going drive trails like that, or challenge your truck like that, be prepared to get it out when (not if) it gets stuck.

Fair question. I have been in similar situations before, I would have been prepared. When I used to wheel, I ALWAYS had a number of 2x6's, a hilift jack, chains, shackles and a shovel. I've been knee deep in mud before digging myself out. Yanking like they did was stupid. You need a winch and a shackle system for a lot of pulling force. Time consuming and dirty yes, but taking the proper steps in removing your vehicle without further damage, priceless.

You GOT IT... " PRICELESS "

The desert is a lot of fun. Even if you do like me, I'm slow but often stumble upon people who need pulled out. If I wanna go fast I get in my buddy's pre-runner. Knowledge about how to drive on sand is key though. I go just about everywhere in two wheel drive.
Last time I was at Glamis, New Years, I pulled a two wheel drive F-150 out, up hill and all the way to the top of the hill. Unfortunately no video to prove.
And sand is way easier to clean than mud.
