  • We had gotten a call about a disabled SxS with broken steering rack that needed carried out of Pritchett Canyon. We were on a job so we were preparing to go in the next morning when we got another call for a jeep broke below the last obstacle on Pritchett Canyon. So we decided to go in and get them both at the same time. Mike took the Jeep driver up to the top to help him swap an axleshaft and get him up the last obstacle, while Shawn and I went after the SxS. Everything went fairly smooth except for Mike smashing him thumb with a random hammer swing. Luckily he is ok and finished the job with a smile on his face. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

    Anyone else notice from 21:40 - 22:50 the video pauses? Still love the channel and watch every video.
    Edit: That slowmo was really hard to watch!! Hope you are ok and good to go Mike!

      Yep, we just noticed that. Something happened with the upload, no idea what, but now the delima of do we delete it and re-upload it and lose all the views and potentially kill are algorithm run or leave it... Good old electronics. Sorry for it but unsure right now how to fix it and lose the lease amount of money on it.

    And still get us pretty pictures of flowers. :D
    You Rock!
    Hope your thumb heals fast, Mike. That is one heck of a Diamond Billed Rock Pecker injury.

    😢 Mike I felt that clear to Oklahoma! I am so sorry. I cannot imagine how much that hurt. That jeep even drew blood from the other guy, he was cool by the way! Not a wuss and dug right in helping fix his jeep. Someone watching from the comfort of their easy chair has no freaking clue how hard, mind bending and technical these recoveries are! This was a hard two recoveries, but everybody remained calm, cordial and worked together. No yelling, no drama, just that get er done attitude that wins every time. I love watching these recoveries but I sure hate the damage they cause to body and machinery. Stay safe and GOD bless
