Dude that crested mountain behind you tho it’s magnificent and your right you can’t leave that car there
You guys can replace the dog house with more seats and arms rests
So are you guys still doing the TV show or Not? we miss you guys, Best TV Truck etc Build show in my opinion...
Yeah the new video editor is better in my opinion
You guy should get with Matt's Offroad Recovery out of St George area! They have a CZcams channel as well.
I use my jeep to recover vehicles and pick trash from the woods i am disabled 6 leg surgeries and still collect enough trash to fill a few pickup trucks a year. I have no funding but still do my part to keep our forests prestine!! TY for helping the rest of us out who clean up
Nice!
That’s great that you do that
why the leg surgeries
Respect
Thanks Doug!!!!!!!
I drove wreckers for 12 years. Other than seeing a couple of your guy’s not having. Some cable awareness and standing behind the car. You guy’s did a good job.
Yep. Apparently they don't remember or know what that cable will do to a human body. Actually that recovery wasn't a super challenge. Guess they've never seen " highway to hell" tv
Their cable awareness was awful especially after he says something about it the next clip is 4 people standing next to it.
When they first started pulling it, there was a guy standing like 30 feet down hill of it. That’s definitely not a location I’d be standing at!
Yeah their positioning around the cable had me nope’ing
At 16:58 the dang cables not even on a roller just getting frayed from the plate above it
"No vehicle could possibly drive up that creek."
Well hell, now I'm expecting Ed from Matt's Off Road Recovery to come cruising up the creek in a primer gray stock El Camino to ask what you guys are doing.
Classic. That'd be great
First try
20 year tow truck operator here and lovin every minute of your recovery videos. Super cool trucks too. 💪😎
I have run a wrecker for the last 14 years and I’d just like to say that I was highly impressed with the entire job good job man
I’ve done a bit of winching and what we’ve done before with that size of load is thread the winch line through a tire or two so if the line does break the tire will grab the wire rope and stop the recoil. Maybe some said it earlier in these comments.
Wow that's a great idea.
That might even somehow explain the tire with a huge bent crowbar we found on the ground in front of one of our newer junk trucks -They're all towed to our place from insurance company auctions.
If its a really long line, Ive tied a couple of towels to it as well so if it whips out of the tyre the towel slows it down massively cos retarding force as a result of air resistance increases with velocity and a towel creates a lot of air resistance
@@carpetsomething yeah with a smaller winch line I agree. With larger wire rope it will overcome the towels
I really like your channel, no only for the recoveries, but the positive attitude and great extended family. Congratulations
Great Job guys! Hell of a team! Wish there were more people trying to keep of Country clean like this! But every little bit helps and counts! Thank You!
As a local Utah resident, I appreciate everything you do🙏
Keep up the good work!
“48 is more than 45” The more you know sweet baby jesus that made me fall down laughing awesome video guys
Right, mind blowing concept right there! 🤯
I was cracking up at this comment also!
Big D,here it is 4 months later and I find this video, I know it's too late but I hit the nail on the head,you guys didn't have any problems getting the toyota up the hill,just wanted to let you guys know that your CZcams channel is by far the best in the interweb to date,I try watching each of your videos when time allows it,maybe one day I'll get a lucky break and get to visit Utah and hopefully get to meet you and your crew,you guys are absolutely awesome in all that ya'll are doing,I'm disabled, i can get around just not like i did before i got hurt in an automobile accident, again you guys are awesome, keep doing what you're doing, may the Lord continue to bless you and your family
Wow you guys are amazing❤ my husband droved wrecker and did some amazing recoverys here in newfoundland canada for 19 years before he got cancer. It was his life.he misses it like crazy. Love watching you guys.
These recovery videos are my new favorite videos on CZcams.
Better not look up Matt's Off Road recovery... I've lost hours of my life watching those
@@fordcougar99 those videos and these are equal for me
@@fordcougar99 totally
@@fordcougar99 Matt's off road is another level. So many videos to watch.
I want to see a collaboration

Being someone who works for a tow company, I laugh at others pain and misery doing difficult recovery's. Then I remember I have done these and I empathize with their pain.
Born in the bush on a stone fruit orchard in Australia Northern new south Wales.
Always kept everything clean we had a workshop plenty of tools plenty of parts and supplies and fuel and done our maintained during the off season.
Helped our neighbours when we could.
I still today keep everything clean and recycle.
You and the crew are insane, recovery was well thought out and thats why it succeded as per usual, great work lads
Heavy dee flies around in his Helicopter looking for tough repos for youtube videos LOL
you're not wrong
Haha
@@HeavyDSparks hey man, big fan here. When is the next season?
@@HeavyDSparks LMAO!!
More content for us.. keep it up @HeavyDSparks
When the 5 ton started backing into position I had a visual of Mater fishin for his hood...
"it's my hood! I ain't seen this thing in twenty years!"
Does this mean I win the flat deck truck so I can go back work ????
There would be a lot less strain on the 5 ton chassis if the boom was retracted. Less leverage. But what do I know? I'm just a truck driver.
This may be a bad time right now but you owe me 32,000 dollars in legal fees
@@slayerjohn447 q g g
I have to say, you and your team are able to go far beyond what most people can accomplish given the equipment you are working with. Most companies would be out there with their 25 ton or 50 ton wrecker to do what you just did with your 5 ton. Love your videos. You also have a knack for making your narration interesting and fun to watch. Great job.
A 50 ton rotator could just swing out over the edge and pick it straight up though :D
Respect guyz, nothing is impossible for this team
Me being a tow truck driver that was awesome!! I’ve done some crazy recovery’s on vehicles that went down cliffs but that just looked effortless!! Nice job Heavy D!!!
Discovery who? Your CZcams content just straight up gold!
Discovery ruins every show trying to make it better
It's fake, it's no different. That car was way to clean for going down that hill. Damage was from an accident. I'll bet I can find this vehicle in a salvage auction.
@@orated762
Beem there a year
Would've been.washed loads of times by rain
"we're hobbyists" yeah, I can tell from the extreme disregard for cable safety. "We're being extra cautious because cables store a lot of energy" *guy walks 5ft alongside cable under load*
not to mention the idiot walking uphill behind the car while it's being pulled up by a cable. if it snapped or popped lose that car would have ran him over as if rolled back down hill or the 3 people walking around neat the cable at the top of the hill.
The highest IQ out of all of them is probably 85 points! They dont really have any common sense
Okay safety Sally

Pathetic!
@@fraomedinaii2095 the people that the truck came from had safety briefs before every mission. I would know.
Wow! That really looked like one of those CORPORATE recoveries this time.
I know it was over a year ago for you, but it was new to me!
Thanks once again guys.
Spell correct got me on this one too.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Getting close to 750K! That is impressive man! It is just a testament to your content and more importantly, your character. All of your shop personnel are stand up dudes! Thank you for what you do for our great state of Utah! Sparks for Mayor!
Man you make me so excited when you post. Your CZcams channel is quite literally the best source of entertainment I get these days!!!
Right
Frrr
Literally
Can’t agree more
Relax
House trailer toter tractor mirror bar: roof mount and extends/contracts as needed. You van rework one so it is air driven in and out. Design the mirrors to fold flat against the side of the truck like the new Ford One ton trucks have. They fold inwad when the key is turned off to prevent vandals.
I believe in the HEAVYDSPARKS crew's ability to make things go smoothly as possible the first time. Have a blessed day.
Yeah y’all should definitely team up with Matt’s off-road recovery channel!
Nope-Because their can only be one boss and Matt will not play second fiddle to no one Nor will the other guys on This crew. Both team's do not want to be the number 2 guy.
@@auggie803 big facts there.

" She's (coming)*. This is... I'm not mad about this. I'm not gonna celebrate yet, but it's going pretty smooth. It's way more than anyone else has gotten from this thing so far. Nobody else even dared even touch this thing, and I don't blame them." Legendary quote for the right mind
Hahahahaha legendary is right.

Its such a blessing that you guys did the recovery for no monies. I would like to see more tow truck companies do more charity work for our home state. Always happy to see people in my hometown do greater than what's expected!
youtube pays them plenty. they dont need no ones money.
"Seamless" Good Job H"D"S n Crew.
I'm so impressed at how your team works together.
It is not unlike a Surgical Suite.
Every member is responsible for each of their parts, however, the family only gets to thank the MD.
¡ So thanks Guys ! For your Parts.
Work in the navy on a ship those cables hurt seriously. On a mine sweeper guy got leg amputated, on a replenishment ship bow line cut two people in half. So I understand what you are doing and how dangerous it is, admiration for you skills
Add some outriggers to the boom for heavy lifting, from boom to the ground with a heavy chain across the bottom between the ground pads on the bottom of the outriggers poles. You can have the poles be adjustable for height and just pin to the boom at top.
I'm glad you were ask to recover this SUV from a nice creek.
I won't want to be in that SUV while it went for that ride.
Yep, it's nice and hidden from view.
Smooth tow
Wow I could have used HeavyD services in the winter of 72. As I spun out on a icy mountain road & right over a cliff. Luckily the snow was so deep there was only a damaged front bumper in this accident. It took a large tow truck anchored to 2 large state snowplows with a fresh load of sand to get the car back up. The car involved was a rare 1969 Plymouth GTX with the Hemi. Today they're priceless
‘The cable stores energy’ old mate walking directly behind the car is waiting to see if he can catch that energy should the cable break and bottle it and start a company.
" I get it you're professionals, We're Hobbyists " best quote ever
Was a great quote... Was waiting for an ending like, "but, who's the one out here making it happen?? "
That just cracked me up. Hobbyist, yeah right!
Dave on Toyotas close to the shifter a small cover that comes open. If you take that cover off the button below that can be depressed and it will go into neutral and the wheels will freespin
That was fun to watch. I thought that the trees were going to give you some trouble. I was wrong. That was a nice recovery
13:20 The drone caught the path the casualty took.
This has quickly become the best channel on CZcams.
I agreed fully
I agree
i'm from the phillippines,like what ur group doi'n,recovering all kind of vehicles,love that military trucks,
Awesome work. I was born in Tremonton, served for the Church in South Africa. Please be more careful when winching
. You know by now.
Cheers
"I'm surprised at this thing"
Me screaming into my phone: "ITS A FUCKING MILITARY 5 TON TOW TRUCK THAT THING HAULS OUT LIGHT APC'S FOR A WARM UP IN THE MORNING."
Lmao
Nice buy on his part.
Next time he'll roll up to a scene with a M88 recovery vehicle...
he was worried that cute suv might tip the 5 ton hahahaha
Enjoy the vids. Recovery went pretty smooth. You guys might want to address the end of the winch cable though, sooner or later it'll cause a problem, needs a thimble and preferably a splice, but definitely, a thimble and three wire rope clamps. I've rigged a lot of stuff over the years, and cable ends are usually what lets go. IMHO.
To say they spend such a massive amount of vehicles, they state of the winch gear is pretty terrible.
If you have comprehensive insurance on your car, does the insurance company have a legal responsibility to remove the wreck or reimburse the state for cost of removal?
It’s great that your team removes these wrecks; especially the older ones that have been there for years
That must have been a ladder truck in its former life. The quilting on the engine house, helps keep the engine noise and heat out of the cab. The ceiling wanted to fall out of our Pierce cabs too. As for the mirrors, replaced them with, West Coast style heated w/remote, tighter fit, better visibility and less vibration. Trucker rear facing side cams are an option too.
They did it on diesel brothers
Heavy D talking about the car while I’m thinking about that meme where the guy launching his suv of the cliff
สยเก
Lmao that is so on point
You guys are all a class act. Love seeing my fellow Utah friends doing good things in the world.
Love the video's, enjoy the work you all do, to me it was never work, being a tow instructor for 5 years and 25 years having fun and learning recovery,
I respect and applaud your concern and efforts to protect the environment. Thank you, Sir.
I’m so glad I found this channel!! You gentlemen are real Americans taking care of our beautiful promise land!!
They have a TV show too it’s called diesel brothers you probably know but in case you didint then now you know 😂

If this would have been on the tv show it would have rolled back down the hill at least once
Typical discovery

Lol
My channel's better than heavy d's ya I said it
Dang that was a epic recovery. You ought to team up with Matt.
Casey would love this wrecker since he loves the 5 ton he has now. Matt would paint it yellow 🤣
@mattsoffroadrecovery team up with Heavy D sparks
Agreed I will go get stuck in a sticky situation so you guys can save me along with matt. Lol jk I have known Matt for my years.
Y'all did have a hell of a job pulling the Toyota up the STEAP Hill. Hope the Poloce find how did that and i Think the Insurance Company should pay you for getting it out of there. Great Job
For these remote isolated vehicle recoveries perhaps a heavy duty logging lifter helicopter that's handles 3 tons would be fun, easy, environmentally friendly piece of equipment to have. Oh if you need a eyeball spotter, I'll volunteer just tell me where and when. Love what you guys are doing. Cheers Ed.
That car is way to clean to have been down there a year, it looks freshly polished
stolen
@@JayAR_YT but he said multiple times was sitting for a year
@@Garage.Philosophy Yeah, it probably was stolen.
@Jay AR Stolen or not, it's in way too nice of condition have been there a year. Not covered in fallen leaves, no rust or tarnish, tires fully inflated
There’s rust on the hood, on the front bumper steel where it’s been hit, and paint knocked off.Corrosion in some undercarriage. Been there long enough for that to happen. This is high country, semi arid a lot of the year, it’s been snowed on all winter, snow naturally cleans a vehicle pretty well. No fresh tracks, so they’ve been washed away. Besides, why would he say it’s been there at least 6 months or longer if it hasn’t? Doesn’t make the video any more interesting if it’s been wrecked 1 year or 1 day.
Having had to recover a few military vehicles (usually my own, cough) in my military career, having a 5ton wrecker on call is pretty damn sweet!
I think the correct mirrorshould for your truck sit in front of the windshield. They're awkward but functional when you get used to them.
I love your channel I binged watched all your episodes keep up the good honest work not to many people around like you and your crew thanks much love and appreciate everything you do for our land once again thank you to you and your crew.
That looked like a fun one! We just did a pretty gnarly recovery of a Dodge Journey at the bottom of a steep pipeline road up 9 mile canyon! We ended up connecting two RZRs together to pull it up the hill! Recoveries are fun! 🤘🏼
Ain’t gonna lie, love the trucks and equipment and things but for reals I subscribe cuz Utah is just beautiful.
It's going to b easy go up but complications half way through. It's going to lean side ways on the wrecker dead weight yes. If he does lean side an wrecker slide got to chain up wit the green tow truck for back up.
That fire truck would be great to sit in when you are all eating lunch in the rain. Love letting us see inside the truck. You may have to stop and cut some of those trees there.
Awesome job! By your assessment and planning of the recovery work, my hat's off to you and your crew, a job well done!!
Video of the trinket collection? Request . Or of all of the cool things that you have found on trips and adventures.
I know I wanna see this collection
As for the issue with the mirrors on the flatbed why not invest with what they use on the mercedes trucks mirror cam they use cameras on the outside and have lcd screens on the a pillar and they also save on fuel
Thank you guys soooo much for these videos and a HUGE, THANK YOU!!!, for sharing yourselves and the recoveries with us!!! From my heart, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! 🤗😘🤗😘🤗😘
If your going to keep using the boom at that angle, get the outriggers that go with it.
Set of bolt on Holland 80.000 lb landing gear will do the trick
I know this is old news now but I am still watching lol and I believe (even though it happens a lot) no big issues with this recovery. You got this! Be safe Brother :)
Amen to that! 😂😂. Look at the date I’m watching this video for 1st time! lol. You can’t go wrong watching Heavy D and Diesel Dave and the entire crew and families!!! NO MATTER WHEN YOU WATCH THEM! 😂😂🙏🏻🤗
I think all you guys are doing a wonderful job first of all. Your amazing. Thanks for all you do. You get it first shot I feel.
In the strip mine, coal, they had a 6 x 6 that would drive up the spoil pile. Awesome recovery!

@@Squarebodyshelley those mountains look familiar! 🤔 Gotta love our Utah playground!
You guys are creative. Manufacture rear view mirrors that you can move in and out will lock in position to use and not move by speed.
Nice recovery! Just a word of advice, do not use a j hook to hold a load, they can straighten out, Dave
22:32 That's EXACTLY the sound my hubs makes when I ask for Pocket money 😬😤
My theory on how that truck ended up that way.
[Garmin GPS] "Exit now and immediately turn right."
I was in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and tunnel (17 miles over an under water) an it wanted me to do a u- turn
@@jamesmoody4477 so, did you? 😅
@@ElementofKindness I was tempted but I decided to wait for it to "recalculate" lol
@@jamesmoody4477 😂😂 it's been ages since I've been through there. Do they still squeeze traffic into single lane two-way tunnels?
Could easily be Apple maps.
It’s the creaking of the cables that just makes the whole process eerie AF.
I wasn't a fan of the TV show on discovery. But somehow, I am a huge fan of this channel and I have been Binge watching heavy D since I seen his video about searching for Dylan Rounds
I figured it would be a cakewalk.
You got yourself a goldmine of a parts car. They don't breakdown much, but when they do, people want the parts.
That's why I think this was a "Shit, I owe too much and I can't pay it off." abandon job.
1. Only the radio got taken. Thieves would have take a lot more.
2. All the doors are locked, but the window is busted. Thieves wouldn't have bothered
3. I didn't see the airbags deploy, so it wasn't ON when it went for a roll. (I could be wrong on this point.)
You need a shirt with Heavy D’a face on it with the saying “ … and stuff! “
Maan HeavyD i want to work with you sooooo bad! You are such an amazing guy! I dream of doing this kind of stuff. I operated a crew for 5 years in the towing industry. My favorite job by far! My 3 little girls would have a field day seeing the big trucks you have. Hope to hear from you one day brother!
May I suggest that you remove the mirrors lock, stock and barrel, mirror arms, mirror arm mounts... all of it and I mean all of it and replace them with cameras that can be mounted to the roof that will eliminate any blind spots and also give a better view of the load platform.
Nobody, literally no one
Ranger guys: just tie it to the shackle and go full throttle
Damn, that Firetruck Flatbed still has to be one of the baddest ass vehicles to be on the road
more videos on this, and a build vid would be awesome
I'm amazed this recovery went off without any problems. Great job, guys!
Change the Mirrors on your Rollback to camera and monitor systems.
It will make the Cab narrower and there is plenty of room in that massive cab for monitors.
How about remote controlled articulating mirrors like on the high end motorhomes.
Be cool if you found the owner to hear the story I bet that was a hell of a ride
Did you not listen. It was stolen!
@@FastLaneLyfe Maybe it was stolen, maybe the owner was doing something stupid and it ended up rolling down that steep hill with no one in it. The owner had a nice radio in it, so he went down took the radio, locked the doors and took the keys. Then reported it stolen. Maybe something similar, or I'm completely wrong.
@@FastLaneLyfe I feel like it was a drunk driver, but yeah who knows maybe stolen
That was very impressive! I have an M816 as well, but I've always been afraid to use the 100 ton winch in the back, that thing is too big for me. I've used the winch in the front, it has a sheer pin in the drive shaft and the sheer pin will break before the cable snaps. Once I broke the cable under load and it fell straight down, it did not whip like some people fear, because it does not stretch.
First disconnect the e brake, then disconnect the shift linkage at the transmission. Then you can put the transmission into neutral, it will free wheel then. The only drawback is trying to steer the suv
I’m probably just being a “woos” or whatever but seeing people so close to that cable is giving me anxiety lmao, be safe out there
No, there's always that chance a cable will snap and release the 3-6+ tons of stored energy.
As a current H8 in the Army. I agree.
When you have seen a cable break, you will not be anywhere in the radius that it could take when it gets loose. The one that I saw was just like this except the front wheels of the wrecker were in the air when the cable broke. The cable was like a whip being cracked and it came up over a hill, flew over the truck and took out some utility lines across the street in front of the wrecker. I was standing off to one side looking at it from about 75 feet away. It was like it happened in slow motion, a loud snap, the truck crashing down and the wiplash of the cable as it flew by knocking the phone lines down across the street.
you guys are amazing :) what a team cleaning up the environment one wreck at a time
Whatever you guys did to get that vehicle up that STEEP hill was super and LUCKY and glad all of you are safe and the job got done.
