Treacherous Jeep Recovery… Tow Mater to the Rescue!

‪@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage‬ ‪@MattsOffRoadRecovery‬ ‪@FabRats‬ ‪@IntercoTireCorp‬ ‪@CumminsEngines‬
Merlin takes a trip to Lloy's and picks up a few treasures. Jason from Camel Towing finds himself between a rock and a hard place. This recovery won't be the easiest.

    I'm kind of slow but I'm starting to figure out why you are all so successful (you, Matt, Paul), you are rescuing vehicles that you've also built yourself, or worked on, you've had every part of these vehicles apart on your bench, so you understand even more than regular recovery guys exactly what's going on, where the stress points and week parts might be. It's almost an unfair advantage :) Fun to watch as always ...

    I saw video of the jet boat earlier. If I didn't live so far from lake Powell I thought about going to get it myself. A few years ago I got a boat from lake Somerville in Texas when water was low. The original owners sighed the title over to me. It was in sunk 5 years before I found it. I still have it.

    I’m a new subscriber. Found you by way of the wrecker games. I’m from the U.P. of Mich but spent 3 winters ‘10-11, 11-12 and 12-13 in Havasu. I met more authentic motor heads there than all my life previous. Guys who built what they drove, not bought it at Barrett Jackson. I’m not surprised you are from there. I’m hoping to get back there next winter. I’ll look you up. 👍

    I'm excited to see more of the old Olds. That sounds like it's going to be a fun project. Has the roof on it been chopped? It looks a little low. I like the recovery videos a lot, and hopefully, the recovery of the yellow submarine gets covered, not just the rebuild. I know it's been in the works in secret for a while. Now that it's been revealed, i know it's gonna be interesting, to say the least.

    Bringing back to life an old piece of vehicle memory, that will be profoundly interesting as you put the engine in & work on the body. The recovery of the "recovery guys vehicle" was pretty intense, as it was squeezed in & stuck; & then a two point pull released it and you got it "home". Your unique recovery vehicle is one of kind (it appears) & was more than up to task in doing the job; & you have the talent, art and skill to know what to do. Your friend & the others are lucky you were around to aid & assist. And it's nice helping friends, that would likely aid you, if you were in need or "distress".

    You could put a Volvo D5244T TDI engine in that car. It's not a Cummins, but it's163 BHP stock, and also requires an ECU and probably an accelerator pedal. These were designed by Porsche for Volvo. The newer engines are 215 BHP, and are capable of over 300. Being a 5 cylinder would give you a bit more room, but since that had a straight 8 in it, that might not be a problem. I once tried to buy an old Hudson Commodore that originally had a straight 8, but the back end of the car was rusted badly, so I was going to build a truck with it. The seller changed his mind, so I couldn't get it.
