This is the stuff I love doing, I live in Colorado and after snow storm love driving around pulling out vehicles. I just wish I had the money for a winch and all that stuff to make it easier, one day I'll afford that stuff and do bigger recoveries
You guys are life savers !!! I use to work for a tow company in Chicago and I loved helping people sometimes we’d work for 2 days straight no sleep, and our guys never over charged of course this was their livelihoods so the had to charge but never overcharged like several would do during a crisis. Keep up the awesome work and the great videos !!! 👍❤️☃️
They use to have a sign at the bottom by the lake saying “Your GPS is Wrong” closed road. But city slickers would still drive around it and get stuck. They don’t plow Mormon immigrant and the snow is at least 10 feet deep right now.
I live in Placerville. But I used to live out that way. I loved wheeling up there and getting folks unstuck. GPS has screwed over so many people out that way. lol. You guys have beautiful rigs. We are more rock crawling guys.
Looks like my kind of weather. I grew up in Buffalo, NY. I liked this video because you demonstrated how a winch can come in handy. When I was in the Army we did a course with Rod Hall off-road racing school and they showed us all kinds of vehicle recovery techniques. We also did a 1000 miles in our GMV's on the southern border.
I would have pulled the white truck backwards so you didn't have to pull thru all the snow built up in front of him and you could have done that without closing the road.
i know that blue jeep license plate gives it away every time he used to come out with our subaru groups all the time he used to have the same one but red a while back
They would work on the roads but not when it’s 2-6’ deep. At that point you need larger and wider tires that are aired down low. You have to float and stay on top. But yeah, if it’s just on icy roads studs would help
@@4x4rescue74 See that's interesting here in Europe they say thin tyres like a Fiat Panda 4x4 is the best not wide sports tyres. In the world rally they use thin tyres for snow. I understand tyre pressures low like 5psi like Matt's off road recovery I visited him and Ed
@@4x4rescue74In your experience do you think an m/t such as a km3 provides better winter traction than a snow flake rated tire like the falken wildpeak? I’m want to set my trd Tacoma offroad to do recoveries soon. Just want the best setup I can get
Great video! Looks like you're having way too much fun playing in the snow. Do you air down when driving on snow-covered paved roads and, if so, how low would you recommend on non-bead lock tires?
Guys please do not jerk on a tow straps as it is Dangerous tobe used that way - Buy A Kinetic Tow Rope - 3/4" inch dia or bigger - Line up as straight as you can each time to transfer all the momentum/power.

Little by little 👍
Love this. This channel can blow up like matts off road recovery. We need a west coast channel!

Just bought your RHINO kinetic recovery rope a few months back. Will also be using it for roadside rescue as the snow starts to fall here in Indy!
Awesome job Wes. Y'all had/have your hands full with all that snow mayhem.
I love the snow wheeling but it's very unpredictable fun though.
I know you're doing a nice thing and helping people, but it also looks like fun!
Incredible… I watch your videos from Argentina…
I had them tires on my Tahoe! They were hot ass !
Your rescue are great .Your green jeep is the best

Great recovery!
Wes I am a subscriber to both channels I love your videos snow wheeling is always fun to watch you guys are the best
I need to put out an RC video soon, just been busy with all this crazy weather
Nice recovery
Always love watchinfg the vids. Keep it up
Appreciate it!
Wow your buddy was stuck stuck lol
When you use your winch, do you just have your transmission in park? Seems like a lot of force for that.
Usually in park or neutral with my foot on the brake and ebrake on. Most of the time I use an anchor so there’s no pressure on the trans

Yup, I tagged along on one of those runs a few years ago. Was it the mountaintroo group?
@@4x4rescue74 yes srrr was it the jolly boys run??
It was a signal peak run
@@4x4rescue74 I was there the night trip right I almost got blown off the mountain
Looks like that Tahoe is rear wheel drive only?
Looks fun!
Do your tyres have sipes and studs? And off road tyres. Would non studded Blizzaks work in this weather?

What strobes are in your jeeps wheel wells? They look blue and red from the camera
Redeemed LED, I can run 4 different colors and sequences at the same time
Stopla syndrome is alive and well thirty years later!
wtf dude is revving it in neutral trying to get out. Some pro
how do you get paid if you rescue vehicles for free? does the local council or government pay you?
We just do it for fun. After years and years I figured out a way to cover my expenses and still not charge the person.
Why is nobody use tier chains?
Don’t let people run over your winch line.

I know it, didn’t get any unfortunately
What tires are you running ?
In this video they’re 37” BFG KM3

We usually air down, depends on the weight of the vehicle and brand of the tire. Most of the time 10-12 is ideal for non bead locks
@@4x4rescue74
I haven't seen you use chocks. Do you use them? What if you've got nothing to anchor to on a heavy pull?
You need the rope that matt offroad used !
We make our own ropes…lol
👍
Where is this?
Pollock Pines, just under Lake Tahoe in Northern California
Is this in texas?
Northern California

Dude.. that’s a kinetic rope..lol
@@4x4rescue74the white f150 you pulled with a kinetic rope before winching?? There’s no way
Shit happens😜

Should've done your Patriotic duty and helped them down the mountain the fast way.
