Customer Goes Off A Cliff! Lucky To Be Alive

oh my goodness keep coming turn this way just a little so we got a call for a side by side that has tumbled off of a cliff and down into a ravine perched up against the tree so we're gonna head out here and see if we can get it it's out on the arizona strip kind of southwest of mesquite we got jamie and tucker got lizzy and trevor and holly holly's coming along as our support vehicle because you should never wheel alone even though we do sometimes but we shouldn't wheel alone and you shouldn't either okay predictions jamie the customer is worried about this fitting on the trail which makes me worried about that fitting on the trail i think we probably can fit but there might be some pinstriping [Music] how's your day going trevor it's pretty exciting what do you expect from this job existential problems it's gonna be excruciating for robbie talk about this road talk about this road and we have 3.6 miles on it it'll probably get better i think we broke a shock off this yeah you can feel it already yeah i'm going to see what's banging back there yeah this bolt broke i'm pretty sure it's pounding this shock this is the only tool i have with me today that's all we need i know kind of shocking isn't it not that jokes i love it so what's happening is when the suspension compresses this goes all the way in and this bottoms out in the shock before the bump stop stops the axle and that puts a tremendous amount of force on this bolt it's just breaking it off all right we're ready so i don't know the condition this razor's in it may have all four tires it may roll just fine which means we may not need to take this trailer all the way up there however i don't know for sure we are taking the trailer anyway i'm really happy about my trailer seems to be doing what we need it to do even though it's only half done i suspect the other axle will be in here today and we'll go finish putting it together when we get back this is an old boat trailer it was wore out when i flipped the axles over and converted it to an off-road trailer we've been very abusive to it for years there's elements of the suspension i didn't like because it was always flipping shackles and stuff we're trying no suspension on it that's the way rory runs his out to moab it's a very inexpensive test because we don't have to buy any suspension for it that's what's going on back there so now it just hops over rocks instead of me having to pull it over rocks it's amazing [Music] say it goes like this this is awesome i'm wondering if i should leave the trailer here let's leave the trailer here i'm going to turn around and back the trailer up right here and leave it [Music] so we're gonna try to have him go forward and then back the trailer up this road and then see if he can make the turn so we can leave the trailer [Music] look at that he's got it [Music] [Music] it's just the thing about off-road trailers is they're 60 trailer and 40 sled [Music] all right let's do the next thing [Music] okay try that [Music] [Music] oh you slid right onto it yeah what the heck it's just that loose this is rough yeah like according to the gps we're like there oh really pretty much but like it's so windy i think it's giving us bird directions so we should be close though [Music] back on the spare tire [Music] oh thanks for the ride holly anytime trevor anything for you do you imagine tumbling off this yeah now let's see you do it i'm imagining it right now all right we're going to go down try not to fall so that means different but we're going to go down and try not to fall so look at this this guy got saved by a tree you're doing great [Music] oh my goodness keep coming turn this way just a little keep coming a little bit more a little bit more a little bit more okay right there all right i heard a plan going up on here what was it don't walk away from me don't walk away from me so here's the plan so the razor's right down there i would really like to be over this way but there's just no way to set that up we would definitely pull that tree out if we snatch stuff from it so we're gonna kind of pull it through the brush but it's been through worst so i think it's gonna be okay we're gonna pull it up to this point and then i'm gonna sneak out of here we'll tie off to it probably back mischief maker up and then use mischief maker to pull the rest of the way on that's the plan super boring plan you like this plan lizzy yeah i need more it should work it's gonna work that's what i wanted this is a lot easier than pulling it up feeling the snow [Music] [Applause] [Music] it was poked right through his where his head could have been yeah i'm kidding [Music] i want lizzy steering it okay lizzy are you in neutral i'm not in it yet i'm stepping on my leg it's not held down turn your wheels a little that way [Music] how you feeling well now i have to get out of here nope just stay in there we gotta get back up on the road [Music] i believe in you slinky well i hope this just popped off the bead and not like the other thing jamie will you come pull the on button [Music] here we go where's your big wrench i'm gonna use it as a hammer and shock it so if you watch holly's video you'll see [Music] success this camera wouldn't turn on really [Music] [Music] thank you [Applause] the camera says it's fine so the plan right now is to have jamie drive this out as long as it's driving good she's going to check the gauges there's no fluids leaking looks like it'll drive out be better for it to drive out then load it on the trailer and haul it out so we'll go down pick up the trailer probably drive it clear off the mountain to where it opens up and then we'll load it on the trailer and haul it to town you're sitting in the weather seat and we have not done the weather yet today it's 65 degrees light breeze light breeze i think this is gonna be a worse ride than if we were in the banana really i think it's gonna be way more bumpy you gotta do something to make it exciting well we are because we're gonna tilt a lot well luckily i'm on this side i feel like we're tilting a lot do you no i'll scream like this after we roll [Music] watch your step but i'd hate to see you fall that's a nice shirt lizzy look at these awesome brand new shirts we just got in they have the milestar tread across them with them splatter to make them pop get yours today at
