Hells Froze Over

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Had to run out towards the overlook on Hells Revenge Trail to repair a control arm bracket on a Toyota truck. When we got there it was raining and beginning to snow. Everything was wet and shortly we were soaked. We couldn't just pick it up and carry the vehicle out with the axle not being tied in I was worried about causing further damage to the shocks. So we stuck to welding it together but with the water came the fun of dealing with electricity in the rain. This is the day I got sick and why in the last couple videos my voice sounded rough. Anyway, we finally got it together and the customer showed up to drive it out. We helped him on a couple hills, but it drove out and onto the trailer under its own power. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

    Rory, I have always been amazed at the body control welders have to hold while maintaining focus on the bead.Trying to hold your torso at a 45 degree angle while laying in the mud, getting shocked and burned is beyond tough. Your dedication to your work and the off-roading community should be applauded and appreciated. That's why I watch you, Shawn, Mike and of course Princess Lilly! I love what you guys do. Thanks for posting!
