Recovering A Jeep In Nasty TEXAS MUD
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Well, a buddy from work called me to see if i could come help pull him out.. It had just rained really hard for a few hours, so i figured it was going to be a muddy mess. I hopped in the Jeep Wrangler and Cassie and the Kids took the Jeep Gladiator. The rest is history!
This was my first recovery since we moved down here to Texas...
The mud is no joke, its very soft, and everywhere! I would have loved to pull him with a strap the whole way, but there was not a good solid point on his vehicle that i felt safe really yanking on. Plus, with the nasty mud, there wouldnt be much control of the tow (both me and the towed jeep). Winching was the best and safest option, it just takes alot longer. We got him out and they were back on their way to go dove hunting!

Thanks for watching!
Remember... Mudding can be fun in your Jeep, but its very easy to get stuck, so make sure your prepared!

One day Jeep is going to have an epiphany and re-release the XJ, and we'll have another 17 years of pure Jeeping bliss.

KL is going to get the same nostalgia as the XJ. People don’t remember how much crap the XJ took first 10 years until people start to really modify them when the working class was able to afford them.

Jeep doesn't exist any more... Its ran by Fiat cough, actually Stellantis. Last of the AMC powered jeeps was in 2010 with the power tech 4.7 V8 and the 3.7 V6 (their first and last v6 ever produced). They are owned by an Italian company. Before that Benz which is why the WK2 has mercedes benz stamped all over it. The benze logo is stamped under the dash and on the differentials if you get and chance go look. The Durango, Challenger, Grand Cherokee WK2, and Charger are all based of Mercedes platforms. Jeep has been dead for a while only in namesake does it exist and barely even that...

That epiphany will be over shadowed by the fact that they will make it super luxury, it will cost a small fortune, and it will be extremely unreliable.

Did you buy a truck?
Just for the record, that Grand Cherokee is a Laredo trim. The Laredo trim is only a very basic 4WD system. It has no low range and consists of a series of open diffs. The good 4WD system with low range and the rear E-LSD can be had on the Limited trims and above only.

Great video, that looks like a all wheel drive rather than a four-wheel-drive, the grand Cherokee Trailhawk is a true four-wheel-drive. I really enjoyed seeing the whole family out together that's what life's all about.
That's a true friend right there when you drive 40min to pull a buddy out..👍👍👍👍👍
Welcome to Texas, that clay is notorious for trapping 4x4s, also its On the sides of many highways here, webb and la salle counties both have alot of that sticky messy clay.. hard as a rock when its dry too. Worked ranches for 20 years, best thing to do, leave the truck at the barn and work out of a polaris, or mule.
"What did we learn?" We learned that it really helps to have a friend with TWO jeeps!
Some of the best days are when you get to help someone out.
That was a great video Ben! I love that the family was able to get out and help someone in need. You have such a beautiful family!
Even these simple videos are awesome! Keep them coming!
Great job and as for as the dog he looks like he is eating good and country does hardly ever get lost. The kids look like they had a great time They will remember for the rest of their life . Great video.🙏🏻
Me, my wife and kids, and some guys from our Jeep/4x4 club were out last winter. I buried my Jeep, turned into a very technical 3 hour recovery process. Great time though, after it was done I bought drinks at a middle of nowhere bar where we had dinner. It was fun!
Great recovery been! Always fun to watch your channel. Even if it’s you playing in the mud doing a recovery.
Best childhood memories always include off roading or racing. Lucky girls!!!

lol, that’s some gnarly mud! Absolute right, worst part of being in mud is the clean up
A friend is great to have when dirt turns 😁 to mud that too deep to get out 😂. Great Job & Deed Also...!
My JGC has tow hooks front and hitch rear with a shackle. I also have two straps which make all the difference. Great vid. I love driving my JK as well.
Excellent job
Video aside dude, props to you and your amazing family. 🤙 Keep it up.
Looks hella fun !

Your kids are ADORABLE! Shoulda made your buddy wash the Jeeps!
fun video guys
Warn xeon platinum - clutch switch is on the remote(electric solenoid)
Wholesome family fun!
Dude you a beast Ben
If you are worried about the winch, you should get a better one. Warren has gone down hill in reliability. The harbor freight bad lands winch had been awesome for me, I live in south Texas too.
Warn does have winches with electric solenoids for the free spool. mine is 6 years old. it is called the ZEON Platinum.

lol...welcome for S Texas dove season. SE Texas is the same when deer season comes!
Your comment about overheating the winch reminded me of the Warn 8074 (8274 without freewheel knob) that I had on my Scout II. I abused the hell out of that thing, melted battery cables & smoked the paint off it more than once, but it never once failed me. The funny thing is they have less powerful motors and abysmal gearing when compared to the M-series, but people pay 2 grand for them. Fast unloaded line speed is important to some, I guess! I prefer the torque of my M8000, some of the skidder paths I get my TJ stuck on need every lbf it can give.
I’ve been away for a while. Texas!? Time to catch on some videos
Y'all ever thought about joining the RGV Mud and Sand recovery group on Facebook???
Nice video
Pro tip: on a muddy, sloped road, you'll always slide into the ditch if you try to pull someone in reverse. You have no control of the direction your vehicle goes if the front is attached to the vehicle you're pulling. If you turn around and pull with the rear, you'll have much better control and won't need to winch.
Yeah I carry 4 boards. Good job 👍
Relationship goals man you guys are badass 😎
Never mudded... looks fun
Sorry I missed you reply. It was a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk (limited?). $78k worth of dissatisfaction. I am probably jaded though, Having fully built for Desert running, rock crawling, jumping, and over landing vehicles. Jeeps I have built since mid-seventies... ‘55 CJ-5. ,’64 CJ-6 (very rare) ‘72 CJ-5, ‘78 CJ8, ‘79 CJ-7, ‘89, ‘ 90, and ,92- Wranglers, 84 Cherokee . Non -Jeep’s: 2-‘76 Ramchargers, ‘69, ‘70, and ‘71 Blazers, ‘ 76 and ‘78, ‘82, ‘88, ‘and 96 Broncos, ‘74 Dodge 2500 4-door short-bed, ‘84 Chevy 3500, ‘79 F250, ‘90 F350, not counting the numerous Japanese mini garbage. Lol. Current project: 1974 M1 deuce and a half- multi (fuel engine) So I expect a lot from a Jeep that’s supposedly a worthy off-road trail hawk.
Fun one. Now I need to come over so you can help me put on the coil packs.
Great off roading
Cute little kids!!
hells ya miller light!!!
I own a grand Cherokee overland with the better 4wd and air suspension and does very good off road because I have the right tires. That jeep has highway tires which was it's curse. You seem to talk down on the GC but they're good.... almost took mine as far as I could with my CJ7....
warn 10-s platinum has wireless remote and clutch unlock and re-lock from the remote and awesome recovery :D

Cherokees have always been for those who wish they had a CJ or wrangler but couldn’t give the creature comforts.
Good job guys. They’re lucky to have friends like you. What happened to the lost doggie?
You should do a detailing video for the two jeeps
Hook each end of a standard tow rope to each lower A-arm, then attach the pull strap to the middle of the tow rope, and pull from there. Will allow a straight pull and distribute the forces through both sides of the rear end.
That looks like a rental, New York plates in Texas

You should look into getting a J-hook. Just shackle it to a bubba rope and you can hook to suspension or frame parts.
Cas please be careful when I first drove with the LSTJ I took a left on 3 wheels

Then you didn't have enough power... Enough power and the rear tires would be spinning through the turn, not up in the air. 😉
Getting Down and Dirty. Hope your friend appreciates what you and your wife did for him.
That Texas mud is no joke! Worst part of wheeling in mud, the clean up.
the warn zeon winches have electronic clutch control also that winch can go all day at that little capacity but using the winch as a tow rope is hard on it
Warn zeon platinum comes with a wireless remote and that also controls Clutch from remote ;)
Lol, we do this with open diffs..... But they key to it is very very light rigs
Your gladiator is awesome just needs an after market antenna
With the right tires im sure it would have been fine in those conditions but im sure it had the original street treads
Milestar patagonia tires. They work great in the mud.
all the expensive crud you do to your jeeps and the jk's windshield is and has been cracked for a while. not ragging on you but you film out of it a lot. still a great channel...
Cracked windshield on the gladiator?
The Warn Zeon Platinum has electric engage and disengage from up to 100 feet away.
That farmer is going to be pissed next time he goes down that road.
Holy Crap... Better have been a good Friend, and was willing to Clean you Jeeps ! What a Mess 😳
hello from Thailand. also red jk but with 2.8crd
