Nothing good ever happens at that Taco Bell after dark. I deliver to a business across the street late at night, and I've seen it, its like a vortex of dark despair, drunken people, and broken Jeeps there.
When I was first married, we only had one car, and I left it for the Wife. I rode my Yamaha 175 year-round to work. It was only 3 miles, I was 19, and could endure anything for 3 miles. I lived in Klamath Falls Oregon at the time, and I got really good at riding on ice covered roads, and watching my mirrors. People would be surprised at how steep of hill that I could climb on packed snow. I would routinely pass 4x4s spinning out on the hills. I never spun a tire. If I did spin the tire, not only did I stop moving forward, but I would start going down the hill backwards. I learned valuable lessons about spinning tires. LOL
@@ntme6506 LOL I can sort of see what you are saying, but this was over 50 years ago. I now have a Dodge pickup, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, a Subaru, a home made Bucket T, an XT600, a TW200, and a Vino scooter. There are just me and my girlfriend living here. Times were simpler back then. Shoot, my insurance bills are more than my salary was back then. You know the old saying, "He who has the most toys when they die WINS"! LOL BUT, I still enjoy riding my bikes. I can't wait until spring, it is only 20 degrees here. Too cold for the hot rod, or dirt bikes. All of the other vehicles have nice heaters. I am getting soft in my old age. LOL
Unprofessional is the only way to go among friends and family there is what comes around goes around it looks like you guys are great friends and nothing but the best for friends. Awesome content and as always be safe 👍
The guy on the motorcycle at night.... Here in NC we call that a liquorcycle because he can't legally drive a car. 🍺 🥶😳 Maybe.. 🤔🤭 That was the first funny we thought of! 😬 You're awesome. We love watching you. You're honest about yourself and don't have to have a potty mouth! We're learning alot and get to see the Cascades at the same time. Win! Win!
Awesome videos man!! I've been binge watching since Matt turned me onto your channel. I live in Lapine so it's way cool watching local stuff. Keep up the good work!! P.S. that was my daughter's car that you got down here. The one that hit the tree and burned up lol. And yes she was way lucky to walk away
Very nice. I have a 5.3 sitting in my front yard (2003 Tahoe) that I thought about putting in my ZJ, but the 5.2L is a pretty solid engine to begin with. Good luck on the swap. Hate to see another GC end up at Pull and Save.
my brother in law rides his motorcycle when it is frozen. I can't even imagine LOL. Homie hookup tow and drive home is a pretty good deal. Keep up the awesome videos Casey!
I worked with a guy when I was 18 who rode a clapped out honda rebel everyday no matter what the weather was. You couldn't call off when it snowed because that psychopath would make it to work.
You talking about motorcycle riders in cold weather. My son got a crash course in bike riding. He got a new job in Phoenix and lives in Tucson. At the time he had to leave the car for the wife to get to work. He road 2 years rain, ice cold or 120°heat and the trip to work and back was 220 miles a day. Funny thing, bikers always learn this pretty quickly, keep your mouth shut when you find yourself behind a cattle truck. Anyway, it's not always a choice when you see a biker on his scoot in freezing weather. Good vid.
You are a true professional Casey to make sure the vehicle got where it needed to go and Severn got home safe is a great thing. I have a question will we be able to see the upgrades to Severn's Jeep? I am curious on seeing it when he finishes the upgrades
Nice steady job Mr? You was talking about roundabouts here in the UK we have a city called Milton Keynes and its got 130 roundabouts and climbing?? 👍🤔🇬🇧FROM BIGMICK IN THE UK🇬🇧
I do not care how "awesome" you people think these things are, I HATE THEM!! It is ALWAYS a crap shoot when I get to one. Nobody really knows how to properly navigate them, including me! I just start through and see what happens.
4:10 I hate those roundabouts. In Swindon, UK, they have on intersection with 5 approaches. They call it the "Magic Roundabout". Why, it's magic miracle that collisions don't occur too often. It's a huge central roundabout and a smaller roudabout at each of the 5 approaches.
Very few people do high quality build of a WJ. I have one and first thing out of their mouth is wow, love it, and then they immediately ask why tf did you build a WJ Wade.
gosh guys, just yesterday my XJ crapped out on me in Globe AZ think I lost the oil pump, my engine died on my and started making loud noises, I had to have it towed back home about 50 miles, cost me 200 bucks, I do not know what happed but I will investigate , Casey I really enjoy your vids
I like this idea of the rear lifter with arms on it to lock the front of the wheel in place.. We don't have that here in Australia, it would have been a great thing to have when I drove tow trucks and heavy haulage recovery trucks years ago. It pays to have friends with a tow vehicle when you break down...
I love the roundabouts they build here in bc Canada close to Vancouver. They build them before all the construction vehicles are done working in that area. And then the roundabout has to be rebuilt especially after the lowbeds have to go through them (literally through them). The most recent one lasted a week before a low bed wiped out 2/3rds of it.
love my 77, actaully been debating myself on a engine swap, have a chevy 292 i was thinkin about but have a friend that has a detroit 353 we have been kickin round on to lol
That parking lot is the worst to navigate, even when you're NOT towing another. Though, the road between that and The Phoenix ain't too good either with all the street parking.
Eek: you didn't do the palm of your hand on the camera end of the video? ;-) Seriously though, you're clearly a good friend to have, Casey! Severin surely seemed to appreciate it enough when you offered him a ride home, that he went through all of that trouble not to have to take you up on that offer! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The coldest I ever rode my motorcycle to work was 22 degrees but I made it to work truck was broke so the bike became my number one m o t .I was wishing I still had my street and trail at on that day I had zip screws in the lugs of that bike for added traction.
@@jamesmccormick2696 My '93 Ford Probe made 229,000 miles and was only towed once because someone hit the rear quarter panel and messed up the tire. That's not that uncommon for modern cars, they go a lot longer without issues.
I've been in a Volvo with a rod threw the block that still started and drove off a car dolly and in to the shop where we replaced the engine... I'm sure the jeep well be fine...😂
LS ???? not so sure about,,, with all the abuse put thru,, my jeeps have usually made 455k or more miles,, and been taken out by rust while drive train still preforming great
So your area loves the round abouts too? I hate these things because no one around here knows how to use them. Idk how many times I've almost been sideswiped Goin thru one. Hope you guys have better luck with them.
@@CaseyLaDelle That leads me to wonder if he had influence on the general towing community from back when he was popular on TH-cam 8-10 years ago, or if he was just doing what everyone already was doing. He kinda had a teaching shtick going on. Poor guy lost his wife to cancer and went off the deep end a while back, but he's got hundreds of videos on doing repos without going all reality-TV on everyone. Many with a giant black 4-door 7.3 F250 sporting a sneaker lift similar the one on your truck.
Always nice to have a friend with a tow truck. You are a great friend!
@@Bryan-Hensley around here the tow trucks are mainly fords 😂
Life is wonderful when you have a true friend.
You can't ever beat having a friend to call -- especially in a time of emergency!!
Right on Casey!!😍😍 now go finish your supper....

The roundabouts! I did my CDL training and testing in Bend. My trainer loved taking me through round about after round about! Lol
Thanks Casey ❤️🇦🇺🇺🇸
i love that ur reciever is on the bottom of the wheellift, i dont have that on mine
You guys are great together!🤣✌🏻
Good morning Casey and thumbs UP to you !👍
I love roundabouts, when they change to a star w lights it sucks, be happy w your roundabouts
236k miles and 10 years on a Jeep Grand Cherokee and this is only the third tow? You sir, have a unicorn.
Agree. My Grand Cherokee pretty much fell apart in my driveway right at 200,000.
Not really. I have one that has never been on a tow truck. 270k and still going...
@@FreakinJeepGarage I agree mine has 235,000 , still going strong
Its sounds like the one in Glenwood (now Springfield). Just before the bridge to Springfield! They are insane ugh!!
Great job helping a Buddy.

You two would make good partners in towing and stand up comedy.

"You drive a Cherokee it's about the same thing as a minivan." lmao shots fired at all Cherokee owners 🤣 great channel, keep up the good work man.
I now drive a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude, so compared to ALL of my past Jeeps .... I now have to agree with Casey on the "Minivan remark"🙄🙃

I'm thinking he's talking about Bend, OR. Oregon is a little crazy with their roundyrounds
@@934buttnugget but they're built so you can drive over them if you're towing!
I do not care how "awesome" you people think these things are, I HATE THEM!! It is ALWAYS a crap shoot when I get to one. Nobody really knows how to properly navigate them, including me! I just start through and see what happens.
Never said they were awesome but the DOT thinks so!

First time I'm seeing that towing/hitch apparatus on the back of the truck and I must say that's pretty awesome.
Mr Casey Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Casey, every new customer of yours must become a permanent one.
Very few people do high quality build of a WJ. I have one and first thing out of their mouth is wow, love it, and then they immediately ask why tf did you build a WJ Wade.
And as I was watching an AD popped up for 'Affordable Towing Fees" Toooo funny!!!!
I like the Morvair, He can spin the front or rear axle independent of each other in the Utah sand, Really cool set up
Great video, we left town before the round abouts in Bend
Good man!! Always take care of your friends!!

I'd trust the 5.2 in your ZJ a lot farther than I'd trust the 4.7 in his WJ.
I’ve owned both and I agree.
Nothing beats a good old 4.0 though!
@@jamesmccormick2696 Very true.
I like this idea of the rear lifter with arms on it to lock the front of the wheel in place.. We don't have that here in Australia, it would have been a great thing to have when I drove tow trucks and heavy haulage recovery trucks years ago. It pays to have friends with a tow vehicle when you break down...
Fun times with a friend! Too bad his Jeep stopped on him. But ... Casey to the rescue!
I’ve had a rig running like that turned out I bought bad gas. Fresh gas fixed it.
I love the roundabouts they build here in bc Canada close to Vancouver. They build them before all the construction vehicles are done working in that area. And then the roundabout has to be rebuilt especially after the lowbeds have to go through them (literally through them). The most recent one lasted a week before a low bed wiped out 2/3rds of it.
Yeah Casey, A Cherokee isn't a minivan, it's a station wagon!
But, it is not your Grandma's station wagon!!!
I love the sleeper tow truck. Also i have that batch of parkinglots haha
Severen was just a little stubborn🤣 At least he wasn't riding a motorcycle around on those temps....and in round-a-bouts☺
I remember when Bend didn't have any roundabouts. The first one was over on 14th somewhere.
love my 77, actaully been debating myself on a engine swap, have a chevy 292 i was thinkin about but have a friend that has a detroit 353 we have been kickin round on to lol
Roundabouts - look up the magic roundabout in Swindon Uk. Its a ring junction consisting of five mini-roundabouts arranged in a circle.
Roundabouts are popping up all over New York as well
It didn't sound as bad as Sevrin made it sound... it was almost drivable 🤣
It is the same here in RI with the rotaries (round abouts). There is one place that there are 5 in two square miles.
Other that the pistons swapping hole the Jeep sounds great! 😉
There are those times on a motorcycle when 39° would seem toasty...
Casey Looks like he’s the repo man with that rig.
That parking lot is the worst to navigate, even when you're NOT towing another. Though, the road between that and The Phoenix ain't too good either with all the street parking.
Great video. Thanks.
Cold dinner is better than no dinner.

How many vehicles make it to 239,000 miles without being towed?

Awesome 👍😎 love your videos
I put a new (reman) 4.7 in my WJ a year ago... but I still want an LS. Eventually.
repo is a tough business to be in. thats for sure.
My 94 Suburban was towed once in 10 years.
My 04 Tahoe has never needed a tow.
Thanks for the video
I don’t even know the guy but a friend of Casey’s is someone I’d give a ride home.
Casey, does that entire wheel lift fit behind the rear axle? Impressive.
Yep
We don't call a double round-a-bout a peanut. We call them dog bones.
Hi Casey lookup the Magic Roundabout here in the UK 😃
if a 5.3 LS can fit in a miata with a hood, an LS cand efinitely fit in a jeep cherokee
Have your friend check his oil more often.I have found even mechanics neglect that check too often.😉
🤣🤣 my 89 Laredo had 486,000 the body literally rusted off had to retire it
I've been in a Volvo with a rod threw the block that still started and drove off a car dolly and in to the shop where we replaced the engine... I'm sure the jeep well be fine...😂
I had a customer many years ago drive an S10 into my shop. It had a severely knocking 4 cylinder. On teardown, the crankshaft came out in 3 pieces!

Third time in ten years??? In 23 years I've never had to be towed.

How often do you have to replace the back shock absorber at your car?
Jeep= jumps everything except payments! 😂😂😂
Definitely LS swap with 1 tons 🤘
Also Grand owner would love to see his build in daylight if possible?
My zj has piston slap as of a couple weeks ago. Hoping to fix it way up again.
thanks for the video. If you know - what was wrong with the engine? Or is he just going to swap it
"it's the same thing as a minivan" haha BURN
What is the etiquette for late night favours where you are? A thank you and some gas money? Or did he have breakdown cover?
I hate the stupid roundabouts. But area towing LOVE them. One place decided to buy another truck because two put in within a mile in MN winter.
So your area loves the round abouts too? I hate these things because no one around here knows how to use them. Idk how many times I've almost been sideswiped Goin thru one. Hope you guys have better luck with them.
That's quite ironic, because roundabouts are much safer that regular intersections.
there are hundreds of them in the city i live in. at down under
Keeps us informed please on the engine
Tks
It's blown and getting replaced
Check with Merlin he has a bunch of LS engines he gets cheap, cheap, cheap from a local junk yard.
