Thanks.Great content. So my plan is to add 37s (BFG KO2) to my SAS. Perch collar lift, 74 Weld Stage 1 (bushing and housing), Upgrade UCA and tie rods. I do 5 rated trails only so not too crazy but I dont want issues. Sound good?

Kind of a sad burnout, but I don't think a solid burnout would have done the trick anyway.

Excessive speed. Lots of other truths in this excessively long video but the major fault was speed. Sure glad nobody was killed or permanently disfigured or disabled. Stroke of luck on that score.

great video

I want to thank you for making this video. I learned a lot from it and will apply that knowledge going forward! Ironically, the failure of the shackle before the total failure of your vehicles anchor point may have led to a better overall outcome as I was imaging what the kinetic rope with a mass of metal attached would have done to the Jeep.

Looks like a fun day! I call that snow "quicksand" snow.

Just a heads up... a new update coming soon..... and its CRAZY

Looks like you guys had a great trip. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us!

I can tell it still gets to you the way your re living it as you explain Thank God your Ok.

Isn't there a kind of saddle bag you put over rope doesn't incase it snaps?

Yup. Any off roading you have to do your research and can't cheap out. Use the right gear and know how to use it. Two Snatch straps and a small spare rubber tire make a good recovery strap. The tire takes the brunt. Or buy expensive recovery straps.. no choice.. and get the large ones

IT'S CRAZY HOW RATIONAL YOU WERE AT SUCH A TRAUMATIC TIME I'M SO GLAD YOU WERE BROTHER RIGHT ON YOU MADE IT OUT OK YOUR A TROOPER MY FRIEND GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING SUCH A LIFE CHANGING STORY 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 WHAAAT YOU WEREN'T ABOUT TO DIE THE WHOLE TIME I'M WRITING THIS AND THEN I HEAR IT WASN'T LIFE THREATENING MAN YOU GOT ME 👍🏽 WELL I'M STILL GLAD YOUR OK😊

I wouldn't trust an amazon shackle from unknown origin either, but seeing the damage to your front bumper, I'd say it held up pretty well. Any high-quality shackle in its place would mean some metal part from your bumper would've come flying through the jeep instead. Given how deep you were dug in along with the force of the pull, something would've given up, no matter the quality of the equipment. Glad you're okey and thank for sharing your story.

You are incredibly lucky not to meet your maker that day or be life-changing injured (Other than the psychological trauma). There is however, a learning opportunity that I did not pick up from your video, but I would like to offer in the hope it also helps to prevent another getting injured. None of my suggestion below in any way mitigates the suggestions and learnings you have already made towards the end of the video. Prevention is always better than cure. With that said, my observation below may have mitigated your incident even without any additional precautions. When you set up for the front pull you attached the the soft shackle to the Drivers side clevis. Due to this offset from the centreline of your vehicle, the pull would always cause your vehicle to "skew" to the passenger side and further bury the front right wheel in the deep snow as is clearly visible at 10:42 in the video. Had you attached the kinetic rope to the passenger side clevis, the vehicle would have "skewed" left with the first pull and may have fully extracted the front wheels onto the compacted tracks. Also, The bias to angle the vehicle to the left would likely have caused the kinetic rope to possibly miss the windscreen entirely and pass down the passenger side of the vehicle. I enjoy watching people's video uploads of their off-roading exploits, but am regularly amazed by the amount of people (especially camera operators and winch operators outside the vehicle) that put themselves into gear-failure danger zones such as danger triangles where blocks are used on trees to change pull angles. This is largely through innocent ignorance, but as drivers we need to take responsibility for the safety of the less knowledgeable who also enjoy being a part of this great activity. Stay safe out there.

Thank God for keeping you and allowing you to share your experience, Thanks a lot for sharing.

Nice!

I don't normally comment, but I wanted to express how well this video was done. This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

I really like those shots 👍

If I may suggest another “nugget;”Make sure you’re right with God, and that you always kiss your loved ones on the way out the door.

That same thing almost happen to me,the rope snapped flying past my head just missing me,it would have killed me,I feel very lucky.

THIS GUY TAKES AN HR AND HALF TO WATCH 60min JESUS CHRIST

This may not be relevant, and certainly wouldn't make a difference at this point, but I wonder if the Bronco windshield might have been a contributing factor in this incident. There are numerous reports on the internet of Bronco owners having to replace their windshields at least once and in some cases twice, just from debris getting kicked up off the highway. It seems to be flatter than most windshields and maybe not structurally sound enough to avoid what happened. Caleb himself seemed suprised that the soft shackle was capable of breaking a windshield. Who knows?

Must have one bad ass jeep getting that good of traction in snow over 8ft

Lots of very good info. On assessment phase i do recovery and one observation is pulling from the one side, if you pull on the left the vehicle will go right, and further into the ditch. Never full send, something always fails. Thanfuly it wasn't a worse out come and youre around to make this video. Blanket may have slowed it like a parachute

Wow... Bad accident, but you def. Went a little to hard on the story bud. You rich kids and your video cameras. Lmao.. I thought you had lost your mom with the way you told your story.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, glad you’re okay

I’m no expert, but the manuals for my ropes (same as yours) say no more than 3’ slack for the first pull and no more than 6’ on the second pull. Looks like he did like 20’ of slack and put the pedal to the metal.

You say Mountain like a dumb dumb.

One thing I feel that is worth a mention is Tyler the owner of MORRflate puts his money where his mouth is and is a leader in helping keep our trails open. Most companies in our industry only capitalize off of it and not give back like Tyler does. He is the community and not just along for the ride. Please keep that in mind when purchasing from retailers. Buy from those who are helping pull the wagon not in it. Great review and thank you.

Wathed a video last week of young guys beating a dodge and Chevy in the woods. They all had beers in 1 hand and hooking the trucks up when they got stuck in the.most deadly manner. No clue what was possible. Pulling a truck from the mud hole with a guy standing in the bed yelling and screaming beer in 1 hand.

Thank you for talking me into leaving my fenders alone. For what u paid they should fit. Nice look ,but me I would like to see fake bolts around the lip. Just my taste. If someone came out with that it would really dress up the stick fender

I don't mind the on scene folks overlooking your injury. But the heli crew overlooking is unacceptable. Piss poor trauma assessment by the crew failed you. Yes im a Firefighter/EMT.

Excellent !!! So well done and helpful!

Mark16:16, John 8:31-32 KJV 🙏

Longest story ever. Holy fuck , not worth watching the whole thing,just skip around.

The dude backed up way too far for that pull he hit it waay too hard.

I see a winch on the bronco why not use that?

Bottom line you pay for trash you get trash. Made in USA (not assembled) is best but yes they cost more. But.. how much was the new windshield and grill for the Bronco.

Glad you're ok! I have and use soft shackles, BUT Id personally NEVER use a soft shackle on a kinetic rope recovery.....

Be safe man. Holy cow. Thanks for sharing your story.

Recoveries can be very dangerous and fortunately the danger only appears up in a very small number of circumstances. I'm so glad this wasn't worse. I'm also glad that you are sharing your story, much like the story of a man getting killed on a pull with a hitch ball. I've watched so many bad pulls that fortunately didn't result in disaster, and every time it reinforces their belief that they are doing it right, yet it is so dangerous. -------------------------------------------------- [No‎te: This com‎ment is not focused on any particular "design‎ated group" with regard to the TH-cam "ha‎te speech" or "cyberbullying" policies.

Awesome video. I'm leaning towards the Morrflate.Thanks.Lee in Socal

WOW! Thank you so much for all your hard work and research on those compressors. Much appreciated brother.

Sorry about your accident and i do thank you for your comments at the i will move my med kit to the top also.

I'm a Flight Nurse/Paramedic on a helicopter and I'm glad you're ok! Great story and video. I watched the video because I recently bought a winch for my Tundra and your experience could help educate many people. I'm also a Christian and I've seen God work in amazing ways in my 35 year career and counting. Enjoy yourself out there and continue to stay safe!

Alsoo last comment lol, the first aid kit and how to use it is number one, youll never know when you will need it in the middle of nowhere, or really anywhere, one of the things ill never forget and always test myself on is the military first aid i learned years and years ago. You never know when you may need to save someones life or vica versa. Anything can happen at anytime even on everyday easy tasks. Ive been at work and a razer blade got caught in a bufferwheel spinning at around +20k rpm and shot through my my side at doing an everyday simple task. You just never know when something could happen and it happens sooooo fast.

After watching hours of the guy who tests rock climbing rope, that rope looks just like the ropes that snap in his test machine, send him the link to that soft shackle and you video and i bet he would test it for content 😉

Remind me to put bullet proof windows on my offroad builds

Tony ................. .😂😅😂

Is there any gage to see what the pressure is or do you have to buy a separate set? auto shut off?
