Good on you brother. Not only could that have happened to anybody but I can pretty much guarantee nobody would have done the work you did to get that truck back as well as you did. On top of that nobody would have the balls to be honest and show what actually occurred. Good stuff all the way around.

He got it running again. We had tons of "Katrina cars" around town in the years after the hurricane hit New Orleans far to the South of us. Knowing what I saw of them, I think I would SELL that truck once I got it running again. Water damage can just go on and on, and the electronics seem to suffer the most. I would sell that truck.

First of, the fact that you got it out of the water and on top of it, pretty much fully fixed it is unbelievable. You were like a superhero that night. Love your stuff brother. Keep up the good work.

Big thank you to Jen for filming that calamity and to Chris for being confident enough to post it!

Dude. Definitely learned a lot. I’m not a boater but if I ever do have to launch a boat then I’ll think of this video. Props to your girl for getting the footage the night your truck went in the river. She got your back. 👍🏽👍🏽

Chris you’re the best! Thanks for being genuine! Don’t ever change!

Been subscribed for a couple years and just seeing this video now. It shows how even keeled you two are and makes me like you so much more. Hope you have a whole batch or kids together you've got good genes.

Dude, mad props for saving it!! That was epic. I almost lost my CJ7 the same way launching my bass boat years ago. Luckily an old man saw it starting to go while I was cleating the boat to the dock and jumped in to stab the brakes. Same thing, I was in 2wd. Never did that again. You just got a new subscriber. Keep the videos coming!

Thanks Jenn for not putting the camera down. This video was as real as it gets! Two year old video just popped up, glad I got to see it.

OMG... that was crazy! But you did an amazing job recovering it from the river and then getting it going again, most people would have gave up and called it quits LOL

Great job of rescuing your truck that night. You did a fantastic job of drying it out and putting back it on the road. A tribute to your knowledge and skills! Thanks for posting your adventure.

I definitely would not have believed that if I didn’t see it myself. That’s pretty amazing. It’s amazing how fast y’all jump into action and got that out. Good for you brother.

Ooooh man wow what an experience this was it’s a good reminder for those of us who launch our boats. I have learned that putting my manual trans in reverse works really well because it’s a strong gear wow good job on the recovery and your wife for having the fore thought to record this what an excellent training video for what can and does happen at boat ramps😬😬👍👍

When the sea was calm, all ships alike showed mastership in floating. My dad kept that Shakespeare quote next to his work phone for years, but it wasn’t until I was 10 that I suspected it wasn’t about boating. When I asked my dad why he’d cut out the line he told me, "true character and success are defined not by how you act when everything is going your way, rather it's how you act when everything isn't."

You are probably one in a million, who would have even bothered to go in after it and pull it back out…let alone, clean it up and get it running once again. CONGRATULATIONS! Gotta be a GUINNESS RECORD for that recovery. Blessings Chris! Respect man.

Great save and good video! Good to share what it takes to fully recover a swamped vehicle

Man that would has scared the heck out of me I don’t think I would ever recover from that..props to you Chris and Jennifer saying it’s real it’s what it’s all about and you not getting pissed at her for filming it ….what a guy💯

My dad sunk his truck (85 ranger) once at the landing. Just a small aluminum fishing boat so he figured the parking brake alone was enough and left the truck running. The brake cable snapped and down went the truck. So he calls a tow truck and a diver (to attach the cable) and the diver just happens to be having a diving class that day - and what a perfect demonstration for them. This happened during the middle of the day so a crowd, tow truck driver, and class of divers all got to laugh at my dad's dumb mistake. We got the truck out but it was never the same after, all kinds of little electrical gremlins. He's an engineer and usually very cautious and doesn't take chances, these things happen because we're human. Love the channel.

Sorry you had to go through that but I am glad you decided to share. It really showcases your abilities. You did freakin awesome bringing her back to life, man!

We’re all human my man. Not many would be man enough to put this up either. You’re a super man in my eyes. How many of us could even bring this back. You are a very impressive man. Keep your head up

About 15 years ago I had a customer sink their Kawasaki Teryx in a pond after losing control of it on their ranch. Their grandkids managed to not tell them about it for about a week or so. They finally retrieved it and brought it to the shop I worked at. First thing I did was dry out all the electrical that I could with compressed air. After putting all electronics back together and seeing that the unit was operational, I then proceeded to drain all the fluids as well as spin the engine over to dry it out as much as possible. It took 4 oil changes in the engine, front and rear differentials as well as transfer case/transmission to remove all the moisture. I was glad for my customer that we were able to save his UTV from a total loss. I can imagine the relief you felt when you were able to do the same as well as sort through all the “installed” problems you ended up with. Glad to see it worked out for you as well with your perseverance as well as having a good support crew. Keep the content coming!

Chris, Stuff happens. I had a toyota pickup with the 22R and launching a boat that I forgot to put in the boat plug. The boat took on water fast and I was spinning all four. Just barely made it out. Thanks for sharing. I know it was hard to let the world know your mistakes.

Dude you are the perfect example of what i tell everyone during a crisis, especially my wife, who would have totally freaked out. Don't panic and do what it takes to find a solution. And good on your wife for the video, also F the haters if you don't have some problems sometimes you're not having fun.

This was horrible but now you have a great story. Awesome wife for not getting upset.

That 4.7 is a great motor. This truly is a testament to your skills and to Toyota. I used to take my 1987 4Runner through deep creeks and never worried about it. Rebuilt the 22RE when I got it and never had an issue with it. Have had several first gen Sequoia's and driving a GX460 now.

First off, love the channel. As a 27yr veteran tech your videos give me some extra motivation to get my own crap going again. Super blown away by your ambition to dry out the truck after this mess. But awesome awareness to all the details and thank the good lord for your buddy to help rescue it.

You are the REAL Chris Fix. Well done Sir.

Thank you for posting this. I think your mishap will inspire all your viewers to be mindful of using chocks. Besides, we got to see the First Mate in all her loveliness in her swim suit. Eye candy for sure. Y’all have fun and just move on and enjoy yourselves.

Chris, Jen, & Gus we love your videos! As a family my kids and wife and I watched the Gran Torino video! We’re in San Bernardino CA and Lake Havasu AZ so that was cool to watch you go there. You’ve helped me get back to working on cars for fun, i learned with my first car which was a 1968 Fury 3 two door 383 in 2003 at 16. Had a 68 bug a few years ago. Just picked up a California original 67 Jeep Wagoneer 327 Vigalante V8 AMC with 3spd auto and 4WD. 71k miles original black CA plates and not too much rust or any damage at all. Ventura CA owned so it was a coastal car likely. Again great videos and thanks Jen for filming when Chris didn’t feel like it. We had to see it hahaha

This should have gone viral by now. Thanks for sharing! As a marine mechanic we always say once sunk it will have gremlins for life that only get worse as time progresses, due to corrosion creep, into stranded wire, connectors, sensors, modules, relays, ECM’s, etc. Salt water being worse than fresh, along with how long it was under and how long before problem is addressed. The worst is the second owner problems when they purchase a boat that they didn’t know sank. It happens more than you’d guess. From bilge plug holes clogged with leaves over winter while on a trailer to swamping at the dock due to dead battery-no bilge pump. Then there’s the-forgot to put the bilge plug in! I also cringe when I see off-roaders fording a deep water obstacle. I’d be interested in updates over time over how the truck holds up. Just sold my 2006 Tundra in 2020. Great truck.

Just now seeing this...man, you are a tenacious mechanic...amazing story!!!

Usually I’m laughing at guys dunking their trucks at the boat launch but I know you’re not the kinda guy to do it in stupidity. If it happened to you then it’s one of those things that truly could’ve happened to anyone. Amazing that you got her going again the day after! That’s some no nonsense not messing around!! Cheers from Alberta man! Oh and never thought I’d ever find out how many litres/gallons of water a seat could hold haha!

You needed to add the "Who's the u-boat commander" clip from "Risky Business", lol. Incredible that the yota is running the next day. Incredible work!

I remember watching this happen to someone at the boat ramp and the guy just collapsed on the dock and cried like a baby... Good on you for thinking fast

Very cool on bringing your truck back to life. I launch from a ramp that makes yours look flat and it has surges with ferry traffic. So one other thing I do, besides using wheel chocks, I have a piece of 2x4 cut to length and wedge that between my foot brake and seat cushion, any little extra can help.

Great job on fixing the water damage. Great determination 👍.

I've got a toyota 2.8L hilux and man I would be so gutted if I swamped it. I take my hat off to you for recovering and getting your one up and going again

Awesome save!! Cool to see someone just dive in like it's no big deal and fix things. Nice complete video too, like the way you laid it out.

I've had that problem before when parked on a steep incline. You only have the compression of the engine holding the weight of the truck from moving backwards. I don't think it would've happened if you had the truck in reverse vs 1st. I've had much better luck parking the truck with the trans in whatever gear the truck is facing (R for backwards and 1st for forwards down a hill)

I’ve towed two different boats behind my 3rd-gen 4Runner (Toyotas rule!) when I lived in Seattle, and launched on ramps that were so slick I couldn’t walk on them without holding on to the truck. ALWAYS in 4WD-low and the truck never budged. Great video! You held your composure much better than I would have if I’d lost my 4Runner in the drink. 😳

Newby to NNKH and catching up on all you’ve made available. Watched the Mercer tour & truck wash tonight. Haven’t commented yet but this video really highlighted your behavior under fire.

I think we could all learn from your positive attitude. It’s one of my favorite ingredients of your videos. Something goes wrong…oh well, you just fix it and move on. Thank you for the knowledge and positive motivation.

in the "Risky Business" movie the mechanic said "Whos the U-Boat Commander?"...but good job gettin your truck back.

It's awesome you were able to get your truck running again. It could happen to anyone. 👍

I did expect Andrew camarata and a excavator to turn up

finally found this after hearing how things still work even after the truck was 12 feet under water. super happy you still have it working. well done for the quick thinking too Chris

Best video I have seen. Don't get overwhelmed when there is trouble and don't let depression lock you down when the action has subsided. Awesome.

You are a hard working dude! Oh and by the way I have seen some odd Sh*t happen on steep boat ramps including boat shifts back and few inches, trailer tips up - off the hitch ball and boat and trailer fly down the ramp and slams into the first pilling on the dock. Of coarse the truck was fine.
