Dual XJ Recoveries

do the nice epic video shot look at all that that's the sun so here we are we are up by horse thief campground up uh 313 yeah headed towards dead horse point so we're unloading here we're gonna race in and get the jeep drag it over here put it on the trailer and send mike and the jeep to the shop and i'll drive the wrecker back home yeah here we go [Music] [Music] so so [Music] [Music] hey there how's it going good good go ahead and pop the hood real quick all right fuel pressure test i'd say she passed yeah we're getting it go ahead and start it up [Music] [Applause] i'm betting if we pull codes on it it's going to say random misfire and i'd almost guess your coil pack [Applause] [Music] yeah we've got a trailer up the road and we can run it back to the shot do a diag on it and try to get it fixed up yeah yeah yeah um if you want to go ahead and drive it for a bit if it dies we'll we'll drag it over to the trailer okay [Applause] oh [Music] so [Music] [Music] hang on a second the way it's doing that i want to check one other little thing at least it did it when you're standing here it always you guys are mechanics you know oh yeah it immediately stops doing whatever yeah i'm kind of leaning towards either the coil pack or the crank position sensor the way it's in and out and jumping i'm kind of leaning towards the crank position sensor if you can get it to right up here it will throw a strap on it sounds good buddy just make it easier [Music] you know just hook it to the oh yeah that'd be perfect once again the income rope all right i was gonna hook up to the d-ring to see if it wouldn't do the clank clank crank ah but i don't think there's i don't know there's much difference between the noises it's just oh that's your truck there yeah that's my pickup perfect well then mike you want to just jump in there okay and we'll go throw it on the trailer and get it to the shop all right well you can do this all right thank you see ya [Music] [Music] okay here we are following mike back into town for this job it was just quick and easy to run up here and grab it and i didn't want to bring the gooseneck i didn't want to hook up the gooseneck to drag it up here so just brought mike to the trailer and then we're close enough to town i can drive the director back to town this little spot right here you can see the the free-range dinosaurs out playing this is a pretty cool place this is the dinosaur museum here [Music] so anyway here we go we are where are we at top of the world dewey bridge blue ridge we're heading up top of the world uh about halfway up the trail uh jeep cherokee broke a leaf spring mount or a leaf spring hangar something it's broken needs to be welded back together so we have our mobile welder we're going to take up there and go mobile weld it got mike on the camera today hey what's up here we go [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] i don't want to make it look like i'm struggling too with two-wheel much oh yeah but i don't want to lock the house [Music] [Music] i believe we have found it the elusive [Music] you think that can be welded back on there and oh yeah i could i figured i'd let you get out here and take a look at it and let me know whether there's something you can fix here [Music] hello [Laughter] usually those bolts are tighter i'm wondering if we don't just take this off and stitch weld it all back in place like the the unibody part yeah where it belongs and then yeah reapply all the other stuff yeah i think that probably our best bet this is what holds the leaf springs in a jeep cherokee this it's almost like it's not attached to anything i think we're all waiting for the day when you actually fix your e-brakes well it's not a matter of fixing it it's a matter of having one [Music] [Music] foreign all right so we got our captured nut in place [Music] look at that mike that is nice just get better considering what it is [Music] [Music] foreign so [Music] so do you drive something other than this truck i drive a jeep i wouldn't say i necessarily do it because i love jeeps but their track records are better for holding up for the types of trails we're on well you know anything can break if you push it hard enough oh exactly you know okay what we're doing here as we were using geometry that i told my math teacher i would never use in real life the key to success is more winches this isn't really attached oh why'd you say that why'd you have to go looking for problems is that one stripping off too oh yeah it's been sitting on this piece there's no suspension [Music] yeah we get a wallet hmm [Music] so all right oh there it is back in action so what we did adjusted it back a few more holes yeah so that it rides more more straight up and down straight up and down yeah because the way it was the way it was riding like that which i've got a lot of tension on this okay so it does need to have a little bit of an angle yeah you see and so but that's pushing straight up into that okay instead of pushing that way and just prying it away okay we gotta get the lights on people love the lights people love the lights all right right on time for the sunset there it goes down the road all right anyway as i'm blinding myself because i have a flashlight so that you can see me now so we're heading down top of the world we got that all welded back together uh he's gonna swing by in the morning and we're gonna put a couple brackets in there so that it keeps it from doing it again sounds like we've got another one first thing in the morning heading up poison spider so run run run here we go thanks for watching uh we appreciate the support uh catch you on the next one all right [Music] say hi everybody wait did you just use that as a punch yeah okay just checking that's the proper tool for every job see you need to not ask yourself did i just use that as a punch you need to ask yourself did that just work as a punch
