great job!! i saw a truck just like this one stuck in a place just like this. they were tryin to pull it out from the front. ur way turned out much beter
You guys are some pros, most people would hook a chain to it and try yanking it out of there and end up tearing up both vehicles. There is a video on you tube here of some guys trying to pull a Cherokee out of a similar situation, They yank on it and rip the front end right out of it.
It's for safety... If the cable breaks under load it will fly.. The towel makes it alot harder for the cable to "fly". It's in the middle so both vehicles are protected equally.
CV's are the axles that connect your wheel to your front differential. It's what almost all front wheel drive vehicles use, and 4x4's with independent front suspension.
Nice job with the extraction. If I were stuck like that, I'd rather have people that "overthink" how to get me out. It's better than a bunch of idiots with a rope that think they can just pull and completely wreck my truck or get me stuck worse. Nice job, nice teamwork.
someone probably could have got down behind him and winched him straight out throw a strap over top of the nissan to keep it from flipping. you guys over thought that one way too much
You are absolutely right. I sure wish you would have been there to show us how to do an extraction the "right way"
Now maybe you should go watch the other video where it shows us trying to pull him out forward and busting the CV by driving the tire into a crevice. I get a kick out of you internet wheelers who dish out all this great advice just by watching a video.
ps: If we could have gotten him out forward it would have damaged the rig alot more than it did.
yeah.. there was no way he was gonna get pulled forward.. something would've had to give.. pulling him out the way he came in was the best approach.. was interesting how you held the rig with a winch from up top as well so it wouldnt tip over.
It's to "catch" the cable if it breaks. It just dampens the energy of the cable to keep it from snapping around and killing things. It's winch safety made simple, cheap, easy, and it works.
I was there back in April and I saw a toyota rip his mirror off and dent his bed trying to get through it! A little too much body damage potential for me! Maybe once I get my extra wide sliders put on my jeep, then I might try it!
The truck ran fine after it was extracted. The passenger side CV was busted, but he fixed it on the spot and drove out and wheeled the rest of the weekend. The body wasn't damage too bad. The only place that touched the ground was the front fender, and it just got slightly dented and scrapped up.
also - there was very little damage to the vehicle considering. Just a flattened front fender behind the headlight and a little damage on the rear fender.
This extraction went very well. It helped tremendously that there were plenty of snatch blocks, tree saver straps etc available in our well equipped little club ;)
The extractee couldn't help much because he blew a half shaft and a brake line during the first less sophisticated recovery attempt - so it was ALL winch work.
This video is awesome. I haven't seen an extraction like this before. You guys did good.

@HerecomestheCalavera funny, I came close to pulling a truck out of a flooded river with my Civic.
Someone else with a 4X4 showed up first tho.

ossum - probably the best 4wd extraction I've ever seen. May I ask what the deal is with the towel over the winch cables ?
M0ntaroo 1 year ago
@M0ntaroo The towel is placed on the winch line to dampen the recoil if the line were to break under pressure.
Simple and effective safety device that you can use to wipe off sweat when you're done. lol

@M0ntaroo So they can see how much the cable moved over? Thats my guess!

CV's are the axles that connect your wheel to your front differential. It's what almost all front wheel drive vehicles use, and 4x4's with independent front suspension.
"CV" stands Constant Velocity
It's actually called a "CV Joint"
