This video looks a little different because it was filmed entirely on my insta 360 one X2, simply because that's camera I had with me when the call came in. The sound was all recorded with the Rode Wireless mic and lav setup that all the people who complain about my audio tell me I need to use, and guess what.... It sucks and sounds like crap. So I'm going to go back to recording the same horrible audio with on camera mics that I've been using, and I'll solve the bad audio problem by simply ignoring people that don't like it 🤷🏼‍♂️. Enjoy!

Is the audio saved on the camera or on the mic itself? The audio data needs to be processed, and if the camera doesn't have a good system onboard to process and save the data it might end up sounding strange. Maybe it is worth trying the Rode mic with a different camera to see if the audio quality changes?

I’ve been wanting a nice very off-road capable vehicle like that so when the time comes I will look up that model.

As someone who has worked on automobiles since 1983, and driven mostly manual transmission vehicle's including a 1999 Dodge Quad Club cab 3500 with a Cummings diesel and 5 speed manual I can say this. You might be able to drive from Texas to Delano, California and back to Texas with a clutch that's trying to go out. But you are not going to drive anything with a manual transmission that uses a clutch 1 inch, when the clutch has a 100% failure. I can say that as I drove that diesel truck for 7 years not knowing the pilot barring was missing, which beat the drive spline till the clutch came out in chunks when my transmission guy went to replace the clutch. But amazingly that clutch had not had a 100% total failure when I pulled up to his shop and he drove it into his shop to put it on the lift.

Your traffic observations are the obvious manifestation of the third logical extension of Murphy's law. What could possibly phuq up your operation usually will occur nine times out of ten. Thanks for the video. That poor lady looked like she needed a stiff drink once she got home. Thanks for the help.

Casey you are correct about a clutch being totally worn out. I gave my 87 Toyota truck to my son when I got a new 06 Toyota Tacoma. After a lot more milk he said the clutch was going out. On his way home from work one night the clutch went out completely. The truck stopped moving, you could sit in the truck and put it in gear without pushing in the peddle. Rev up the engine and nothing. We got a trailer from my son's boss and had to winch the truck onto the trailer. The following weekend we took out the transmission/transfer case, pressure plate , clutch disc , throw out bearing. We pulled the flywheel had it resurfaced and put in a new pilot bearing. We bought all new clutch parts and put the truck back together the next day. When we were finished the truck worked just like a new truck. When the son decided to get a new truck the Toyota truck had 275,422 miles on the original engine and the new clutch had 86,000 miles. A local used car dealer saw it sitting in the yard with a for sale sign, stopped and bought it and put it on his lot. It lasted two days and was sold to a high school senior. When he left for college it was passed down to his younger brother. YOU WERE TOTALLY RIGHT ABOUT THE CLUTCH SITUATION.😊

Casey, that jeep did an awesome recovery, it sure did. I personally think the driver of that jeep had a lot to do with such a successful recovery as well. Beautiful country up there for sure!!

Well done Casey this being the first recovery the jeep did really well. You may say you aren't good at this but in my opinion your creative rigging and being able to adapt when it comes to traffic proves otherwise in my opinion. You are someone I would trust when it comes to recoveries. Happy 4th of July to you and your family

I have been working on cars and trucks since the 70's. Casey you are completely correct about the clutch deal.

Always enjoy going on a ride with you. Nice recovery. Mechanic for years I 100% agree with Casey on the clutch. The friction material on a clutch is the link between the flywheel and the transmission. When that fails there is no way to transfer the energy from the engine to the transmission. If you still don't get it bring some crayons and I will draw it out for you so you can understand.

Casey I never doubt what you say. You have proved yourself right so many times. I pray that you and your lovely family have a happy and safe 4th of July. My B-day. 67th.

I was a tow truck driver for around 5 years, the one incident I always remember, is a vw bug went off the road in a 2 foot deep ditch, as I set flares out 150 yards down the road, two cars stopped when they seen my wench cable and flares, the third car went around the first two, I jumped out in the road and screamed at the driver. Obviously drunk ! This was in South Eugene on Willamette Street, right by Spencer's Bute. 1:00 a.m

Thanks Casey for the beautiful scenery you record. I live in southern New Mexico in a desert region and have to drive 45 minutes to see pines and forest. My Mother and Father were sticklers about operating a clutch properly, as were all of the folks I worked with in my teens and as a young adult, in the mid to late seventies. Because of their teaching, I never lost a clutch that I had changed in all of the used vehicles I have owned and driven. I owned a 1967 dodge half ton former navy vehicle, had to replace the clutch in it and discovered it had had a very hard life, I drove that truck for 14 years. I have lost clutches, but on used vehicles that had not been driven properly.

I’ve blown a lot of clutches when I use to drag race and just driving on the street and usually you are not going anywhere without a friction plate or pressure plate to lock up the engine and transmission. Your 100% right, with the mechanical parts like linkage and maybe throw out bearing you can still move but to avoid more damage then just tow it.

Beautiful country! Clean recovery, Casey. Must have been the positive energy from the sticker on the left side of the client's camper shell.

Bravo- Clever pull with winch and back bumper simultaneously

Casey may you and your family have a happy and safe 4th of July holiday. Thanks again for taking us with you on your adventures. Say hi to Grumpy neighbor, hope he's healing up nicely.

Casey you are 100% CORRECT on NOT being able to drive your vehicle once clutch goes out!! Ask me how I know... I've had 2 clutches go out on me before. 1st one it was the throw out bearing, 2nd one the clutch plate was worn completely out!!

Love the new recovery Jeep, Casey. Great work!

Smooth move with winch and Jeep Two Thumbs Up !!

If the clutch is cooked or toasted, you won't get anywhere as you said. If the clutch cable broke or the hydraulics, usually the slave cylinder, you can drive it and even be able to do careful gearshifts while in motion. Bit difficult with SUV's and pickups but smaller sedans it's a piece of cake.🎉

Casey I love how you tell it like it is. Your great. Love how you and the people care for the land. Keep up the good footage. Coop from nw ga.

Jumping right in with the new jeep on a pretty technical recovery, and it was a beast. I'm also pleased that after watching enough of you, MORR, etc that it's starting to sink in. When I saw how the truck was positioned my first thought was the front needed to be secured. It was like winning a prize seeing that's what you did.

Hey Casey !!! POOR "OL" WILLYS is just sitting now looking for a ""NEW "" home for some ""TLC"" !! Great video & Thanks !!! 🤔🤔🙂😉😛🤠😎😮👍👍👍👍👍

Great explanation. I have had clutch linkage issues and still able to drive. I've also had clutch go out and not been able to drive. Some people just don't catch that the clutch is out not linkage.

I wasn't sure how you were going to double rig it with just the Jeep, but you did it cleanly, safely, and creatively. Well done. Also 100% on the clutch. Yes I've done it when the clutch was good but the linkage was bad too, but totally understood what you are saying. Doesn't go when the clutch is shot. Keep up the great work.

Depends on the job. For some the Jeep would be better, for many the cabover would be better, especially if it was outfitted as a wrecker or rollback. If that were the case I could have done this whole job by myself instead of having another truck finish the job.

Great job. Thanks for sharing. You can’t stop Keyboard commandos.

I like to compare vehicle recovery to playing pool. It's all about applying the proper force at the proper angle. And don't forget, Gravity is our friend. Also, a bad clutch either will not engage, or it will not disengage. Hard to explain that to some folks.

I had a similar incident with a clutch. In my case however, it was the throwout bearing that went out. I was able to drive it home by starting it in gear and floating the gears. Casey is completely correct about not being able to drive it if the clutch is broken or somehow stuck disengaged.

That dirt road looked like a really close second to the recoveries Matt had to do on the tower road ( very steep ) , excellent job with the recovery . Have a great 4th of July everyone !

Great recovery Casey and your definitely right about the clutch. No clutch no go!!!!! Anybody that’s ever works on cars knows that. Some people just don’t have a clue. Thanks for sharing.

The initial view didn’t truly show how much of an angle the truck was sitting. Good job.

Correct regarding the Clutch issue. Nice recovery as well. Yes, that was steep indeed.

Casey, I work with your doppelganger and your thinking and mannerisms are the same. Except your taller he's like 5'10". I showed you to everyone at work and they all agree you and Orie look a lot alike.

I've had similar jobs, a simple hack that has helped is having a winch on a portable platform and a battery pack. I can pull inn a totally different direction from where my truck is parked. Your solution was great, but I also do heavy mechanical ( mill wright ) work where I might have to move heavy things in a building.

Just drove around Mt Bachelor and Sparks Lake yesterday! Thanks!

Great job!👍😎 Absolutely beautiful scenery 😊 Keep up the great videos and stay safe out there!❤️🙏

Interesting explanation of the difference between a clutch going out, or just becoming non-operational. I haven't driven a shift vehicle in decades, so it's a moot point for me, but it's obviously enough to get the KZread armchair mechanics' knickers in a bunch. Beautiful country that you get to work in.

Well done! Hey I have an idea to possibly help... back in my early Army career, we had M151A1 Jeeps and they had a hold over from WWII, of a 4 bolt anchor point attached to the center of each wheel. I’ve even seen them on HMMWV’s. So as a self recovery tool a bar was put through the hole that was in it and a rope was run around it and then wrapped around the center with the bar keeping it in place. It’s crude but it works! So you potentially have 5 Wench’s on your Jeep! One up front and 4 at the wheels! If a Stupid Idea Works it isn’t so Stupid!😎

That was clever to pull with the winch and keep at the same time!

It's really good fun driving with no clutch control with a loaded trailer. My 2000 forester broke the pivot ball off thankfully after I got out of the driveway where I needed it but still made it fun to have to learn to speed shift/ rev match as the trailer behind wasn't helping with the old girl being possibly over her legal weight limits. Where I would normally be able to shift at say 4k rpm going up hills I would have either hold the lower gear or lug her until she picked up. Hence as you say casey I wouldn't be doing that in your situation as I would be revving to the limiter and maybe with a downhill and tailwind moving forward.

You are correct about the clutch. I once drove a semi with no working clutch but like you said, it was in the control mechanism not a worn clutch.

The clutch thing....Yeah, that's exactly why I generally don't read many comments. I am not as nice as you. Nice recovery job on this one!

100% right! no clutch no go! I've limped mine home a couple times due to bent fork or broken pedal bracket, but clutch was still intact and engaged, big difference!

Thanks for another trick in the recovery book. That was a cool move. As always thanks for another great recovery video. Have a great 4th!

You are correct about the clutch and liked your explanation.

Yup, no clutch, no go. I have worn out many clutches and when there is no friction left they don’t work.

Casey’s a genius.

I drove a Subaru half way cross the country with a "failed clutch".... Coast into gas stations, then Dad would push start me with his Pinto wagon, that was back in the early 80s and I fixed my "failed clutch" when I finally found a place that had a new cable.....and replacing that cable was a PITA!!!! Everyone kept saying the clutch and I tried to tell them it was just the pedal cable

My clutch control as your calling it failed in my 93 k2500 6.5td nv4500. I drove it home from friends where it failed at and drove it to work the next day and made phone calls at lunch to find a shop to redo my clutch and called home to get a ride from the shop to home. The best part about the whole thing is nv4500 is the fact that it has creeper gear. That trk has a real nice gearing advantage. I pull started my friends JD 3020 diesel in less than the tractors wheelbase so the back tires weren't past were front tires were. I was a little ruff on that trk but I was only 19-21 when I owned it

You are correct about the clutch. Good explanation

Your comments on the clutch reminded me of a time I was wheeling with some friends in the mud. The other truck was a 73 f100. His clutch linkage fell off some where in the mud. Fortunately there was a parallel cat trail that was not muddy and he was able to start it in gear and drive it out. Like you stated His clutch was okay just the linkage was gone.
