Maybe you should try turning your other skate upside down to make a ramp for the skate you thought might work like it supposed to or carry a couple of long 2x4s to put under that skate to slide better just a thought
Yeah that might have worked too! 🤔
Style points
I was having a little fun with the editing 😂
That poor sweet old style Corolla I hope someone saves that old sweetheart❤❤
Yeah don’t see too many on the road anymore!
I love those control arm skates. 💪💪💪
Yeah! Definitely a cool new tool to have for those missing wheels!!
How the fuck you get a subaru stuck like there's nothing there that should even cause it to be stuck
It happens a lot too!
Next time, just extend your boom to give yourself a little more room to work with. Good job.
👏👏👏👏 next time you can use a snatch block on the D ring and do a low pull.
True! That works good for those too!! 👍
I can’t wait to use a wrecker I’ve been a rollback driver for to long lol. The things I’ve done in my F-550 are nuts but it’s time for some new skills! Your videos give me a basic understanding and I’m excited to try for myself thanks bud !
That’s great! Yeah the wrecker can do lots of work just gotta know your limits for sure! Get good with using dollies and you can tow pretty much all cars! Good luck! 👍
A lesbian and her Subaru 😂
👨🏻💻
It’s not just a car “ITS A SUBARU”
SUBARU! 🙌
What's the point of owning a Subaru
Even though the Subarus are all wheel drive, they too can get stuck.
What's the point of having a truck with 4 wheel drive if it gets stuck
@@porcupinepunch6893 Trucks usually have more ground clearance. 4wd is also very different from all wheel drive (AWD). Also some trucks are built for this, my 98 Ford ranger only has the factory 2" lift and 31" tires but with me behind the wheel and a semi decent spotter I can make it through most double black 4x4 trails and I don't even have a rear axle locker. My 97 Ford ranger is 2wd with an open diff and that thing still does crazy well on trails, I even jumped a 8 foot wide creek in it.
Luckily her catalytic converter didn't start a fire...
Yeah true! She got lucky!
You can’t park here…
No they cannot 🤣
M
😎
Nice work man, your co worker didn’t look like he wanted to put in the work !
Thanks! He was afraid of getting poison oak, luckily I don’t think there ended up being any poison oak down there!
Great job guys!!!
Thank you!! 🙏
👏👏👏👏
😁😁
Beautiful scenery
This area is one of the nicest in the country!
I'm glad I found your channel. Not many tow companies on you tube from this area. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for watching!! 😁
👏👏👏👏 10:20 target said they want their basket back 😂
I like it too much now! I’m keeping it! 😅🤣 fits perfectly in my truck! 😁
@@theflytowguy 😂
Skates are really helpful !
Yeah! Skates really make the job so much easier!!
👏👏👏 Get yourself a deadblow hammer from harbor freight. Works way better than the hammer you used.
Oh thanks! I’ll have to check that out!!
@@theflytowguy harbor freight has them and they work much better. Get the 5lb one. From what I was told, using a metal hammer 🔨 can break the skates.
Not bossman getting poison oak before vacation 🥴
Yeah! He got the bad luck on that tow!
Maam I don’t think you can park there
😂
That was a fun one!
Yeah it was!
Poison oak makes me angry, the language .😅
Haha yeah! Im just glad I didn’t get it too!! Nasty stuff!
👏👏👏👏💪💪💪
Thank you! My dad ended up getting poison oak on this one!
@@theflytowguy damn that sucks dude. They sell cream you can carry on Amazon for that stuff. Do you have a wipe to wipe it off and an anti-itch cream as well
@TowMan127 that’s a good idea! I’ll make sure I have some for next time!!
👀
😎
👏👏👏👏👏
🫡😄
Good idea to secure the suv to the rail. That's a good way to prevent rollaway!
Yeah! Definitely didn’t want it rolling back into the other lane!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!! 🙏
@@theflytowguy 🤜🤛
I haven’t done a rollover in a while.
Definitely an adrenaline rush!!
@@theflytowguy yeah for sure
Those people are lucky they didn’t go down hill. Great job bro how exciting
Yes they are lucky!
Honestly just trying to help, if this short was maybe 10-15 seconds long you would get more views. Do the quick intro, delete the 2nd commentary about it being a sunny day, and transition to the actual rollover. Hope they were all ok!
Thank you!! Yeah it was a DUI driver was arrested.
👀
🚂
Good job dude. Get yourself a heavy duty tree saver strap or wrap a pool noodle around the chain to protect the tree and change the cable clamps around on that repaired cable. Those clamps will hold a lot especially with as many as you have on there 😂. Hoping to be in a truck soon cause I miss being in a truck. Be safe out there bro.
Thank you!! 🙏
@@theflytowguy 🤜🤛
Very nice job!
Thanks! They were lucky that truck didn’t roll!
👏👏👏👏👏
Gotta love that dispatch info! Never know what you’re gonna find 😂
@@theflytowguy yeah for sure 😂
Damn you're handsome ✨
thank you! 😃
👏👏👏
🫡💪💪
Was this the road rage incident 🤣
Yeah, from what I gathered they were both break checking each other then they eventually crashed! 😅
Good job bro. That thing is done.
Thanks man! Crazy how much damage that accident did!!
@@theflytowguy yeah getting hit by a semi is no joke. Could’ve been worse
@TowMan127 yeah! Luckily there were no serious injuries
@@theflytowguy that’s always a best outcome
👏👏👏👏👏
🙌🙌
Pulling it on the road before trying to put it on the bed helps a lot.
Yeah, I was fighting it in the beginning for sure! I should’ve looked around the car first. I didn’t notice that passenger front wheel was messed up until after I got it on the truck.
After watching this, it would have probably been a lot easier if I would have had the wrecker on this one! 😅 Got it done though, that’s what matters! 💪
👏👏👏💪💪💪💪
Thank you!! 🙏
Overkill on the saddle clamps. Aren't they supposed to be alternating, one facing one wsu and another 180 degrees opposite.
Yeah probably, the mechanics wanted it to not come apart so they put a bunch on it.
Good job on the recovery, but please cut the end of that line off and start over. All of your clamps are on backwards, and more is most definitely not better. Cut the line behind the last clamp, loop around your thimble, and if that is 7/16” line, you need 7” of overlap with one clamp installed at the base of the thimble, and one an inch from the end. If it’s half inch line, 12” of overlap with one at the base of the thimble, one and inch from the end, and one in the middle of those two. Adding more than that is actually hurting the performance of the line, and absolutely make sure the saddle is on the live side, because the way you have them is drastically reducing it’s breaking strength
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll pass it along to my mechanic guys! 👍👍
@@theflytowguy Crosby has a very good chart that explains exactly where to place the clamps, how many, and what the working load limit reduction is based on the size of the line.
Nicely done.
Thank you!! 🙏
👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪 Happy 4th of July
Happy 4th of July!!!! 🎆
