Transit Van In The Desert

  • We were contacted about a Transit van stuck in some sand near Hanksville with a broken tierod. So we picked up a new tierod from the parts store and headed out. Once we got there we decided on a plan while we waited for the customers to show up with the key. They got there and we got the tierod replaced. Then we began the recovery. There was a large stretch of deep sand in front of the vehicle and so we decided to pull it backwards and take it out the way they had come in. We got them back up to a good road and sent them on their way as we headed back to the trailer. Then later we put some new rear airbags on Trailmater. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

    I like how the van guys can throw jokes about the tie rod, although they didn't originally break it and seem generally pretty chill about the whole issue. And what I like most what you guys are doing is that you actually repair the stuff on the spot, if it can be done by new parts or simply crafting something and putting it together with couple welds, instead of making a lot harder recovery with vehicle that otherwise would be hardly functioning.

He was super friendly and had many interesting of stories to tell. Had several large dinosaur bones and favorite rock specimens in his back lot.

    Hi guys, another very enjoyable video you are a great team. I have just watched the jailbreak video and saw the problem with dust inside the light switch. I have worked in the UK woodworking industry for over forty years and dust in switches is a very common problem. Some years ago an engineer showed me a trick to overcome the problem and its cheap, easy and has always worked for me. You put a condom over the switch and wires, zip tie the open end to the wires then put the switch back in the panel. Of course this will stop the switches having baby switches but hey. 😆

    Always put the native in the back of the bus. What up smoke signal brother. I had a Bronco for 46 years never broke a tie rod or nothing on it. Broke a few rear axles though. Northern California Missouri. I think what's it for 5 or 6 years throw a battery in it start right up. And it was a Redskin just like me.👌🏽👍🏽✋🏽💪🏽💪🏽. You jumps just don't know how to drive a Bronco. I lived in Northern California and the Redwoods Rivers. Hill climbing rock. Never had a problem with it. And it's at stock except for I had bigger tires on it. 15x32 Armstrong true tracks. It looks stubby and badass and it was. Hi pull cars other four wheel drives Jeeps out of the river in the sand. No problem 289 3 speed on the tree.. red and white. And it's still around but I don't own it anymore. The only rust that had was a couple of spots on the floorboard. And that was because it had the original floor mat you need to get moisture underneath. It came with original seat but they didn't last very long. Going up the hill leaning back putting all that pressure kind of screwed them up. I put some hot bucket seats off of pinto on her. And they were still on there till I got to Missouri and I had it here for 4 or 5 years 6 years finally got rid of it when I wasn't working anymore. And yes I've driven Jeeps.. at least mine was built up. My cousin had a 72 Bronco. I'd have to go pull him out of the river every time for the sand. With my old 68. Y'all have a better year. You know they got flare guns now you're not to make a smoke signal. Sean.😁🤣🤣👌🏽💪🏽👍🏽🤷🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♂️😊😎.

    I dig that Rat Patrol scene you shared going over the dune. I like that quite a bit!
