How do you not realize that not only did you obviously roll your truck, but you completely wrecked it in the process unless you are pissed drunk? Are you really that naive?

Your truck was just right for that job. Also having Dave along is always a plus.

Even if it was overkill, better safe than sorry! Kudos to the Elite picking up the tab. Hope this driver learned his lesson. Thanks for the video!

Your Zacklift was the perfect tool to use for this job. I believe in overkill to make safety a high priority! Great video, Casey and am looking forward to the next.

I very much identify with you. You have no filter what you think you say. Every time you grab the remote, you push the wrong button and have to look at it even though you’ve done it thousands of times. You’re the guy everybody wants as a friend. Don’t stop doing what you do !

That is interesting. I was on vacation out in that area and was driving down a washboard road like that through one of those burned areas. Nice forest, but you would be hard pressed to hike off of the road because of the brush. My only real complaint though is people leaving trash around. We found an empty tea bottle just left on the side of the road. Of course we did the responsible thing and stopped to pick it up. Kind of glad we did as it got us slowed down. As bad as the washboard was, had we not slowed down, we might have bounced off the road into the brush.

it is definitely a good thing that you are taping this recovery from arrival to completion, because by giving you the keys to drive this truck out, the customer appears to be thinking that his truck is still in fairly good condition and imagine his reaction and surprise when he realizes that what you are bringing him back is nowhere near in the condition he thinks it was in when he left it.

After the missing tea bottle, I was starting to think the same thing. Either dude dumped the truck at night and didn't know the actual condition, or the truck itself rolled over on its own. It's possible the ground under it let go, and last dude saw of it, it was up next to the road. Another red flag was the spare tire. Not everyone bolts down the bed box, but the spare lives under the bed on those. The spare and the bed box were side by side when they got there.

I say do both an add on tank and the turbo.

Definitely not overkill, it’s a reasonable dead weight and foliage that wants to keep it from moving, oh and a steep hill ! Nothing wrong with doing it easier than harder 👊🏻 great work again

Well, it did an otherwise complicated job with minimal hassle! Nice recovery, Casey.

Reference the overkill question, the way the driver explained the situation in the beginning it might have been, once you arrived the truck of choice was just right. Slightly over sized and under worked is way better than the opposite alternative. Nice recovery.

Well, the horn blows...And so does this difficult and precarious recovery situation. But, as always, Casey gets the job done, and done well. Hope things work out for the driver, and that he recovers from this experience.

That's what the road to my place is like for the first 15 kilometers - which is where the most people live on it. It is supposed to be maintained, but the company that does it figures one grading a year is sufficient. Once you get past the traffic area it's smoother by far. And yes the washboard surface tries to toss my truck right off the road even at low speeds.

That's the recovery vehicle I would have taken. It has everything you could possibly need out there far from home. ❤
