Instant Regret...Flooded Jeep Gets Totaled!

foreign so we got a call for a jeep that is stuck in the river down here just above Washington Dam we're gonna head down see if we can get them out of there got Jamie here with the weather it's been a while since I've been on a recovery and I know why it's hot outside it's like 108 degrees today we're gonna melt how is it in here not much cooler we got peanut back there we've got Tom back there with dick dog Brett's going to be helping him it might be a little bit of a battle to get this out we'll see so I got a call from Matt saying we got a job and I didn't really pay attention I don't know where it is I don't know what we're going to get all I know is that I'm following him and dick and then I got right here with me but we'll get them out whatever it is I don't even know what it is [Music] watch for cows [Music] there's the river we got to get down there somehow yeah we've got to somehow get down to the river I think we're kind of all ledged up here unless we can get down right here in the river yeah we're gonna have to get in the river to find out how did he get there where he was um he says he came in this way guess what this takes you right to the river thank you I've gotta lock my Hubs in [Music] are you gonna lock them in right now this is kind of making me nervous that we're driving up the river so far it looks pretty shallow but it's Sandy I guess we're driving up the river or down the river so I'm gonna lock in hubs before we get in you know we're swimming drunks you know yeah sandals Chacos yeah he came in this way and drove up the river all right looks fun I guess my attire was gonna come in handy today maybe my shorts and my sandals [Music] did you find them already we gotta get out of this River I want to get up on the bank but I want a good way to do it I don't know why people just drive into places like this I really don't it doesn't seem like the benefits outrage the risks [Music] stop hey you got your locker in don't do anything we got stuck I cut it over a little too soon we're in some deep water here you gotta know when to hold them know when to fold them so when you start going the last thing you want is to end up in the same situation he's in so if it starts to do that abort what are you doing here making the best shorts I can all right thanks man oh that feels good [Music] [Music] we're out this water feels really nice right now Tom I got a question for you it's a very serious question why do people just drive up Rivers like this well I'm doing it because you said hey Tom come follow me well okay but I'm talking about I have no idea I mean I mean it's fun but the risk is really high you can see I I didn't follow your line exactly and I got stuck like you searched out a good shallow path for Jaime and I didn't take it right this is what we're gonna go get oh he's in there deep wow yeah I was gabbing away too long and Jamie started to take matters into her own hands Jamie because the treacherous nature of this job I'm going to stay on foot scouting I would do the 12-inch rule try to stay 12 inches to one side or the other of those tracks when it's soft pretty close yeah all right I'm just gonna scout out some of the best ways to get through this [Music] thank you [Music] I went in no wake zone because we're making some weights [Music] there's a lot of work [Music] I ain't playing this is a lot of work I signed up for it but I didn't understand the assignment I see him right there yeah for now well let me Scout it though all right we basically made it here now we've just gotta figure out the best path to where we're going right here Jamie just straight just straight towards me get a little deep right there but I think we'll be fine no problem let's see how big Doug does easy peasy how much experience do you have driving in this River first time so you got like five minutes yeah so what happens when you stop in the river like this when it's sand the water just keeps washing the tires underneath your sand and you just sink so you can be you can drive on things that you can't park on how long does it take not very long that Jeep's going down let's get it out of there how's it going no I had her walk out here so right through here it doesn't get that deep but it's just when I turn down to this side and that's that hole is just right there I shut it off water in the intake that's why I shut it down it's just it was just getting so far under so I can't tell if it's in neutral red Drive foreign pull it tight that's sad that door's locked do I unlock oh it'll come unlocked though okay we're in four low now we're in neutral okay this is crummy what are you doing I'm cooling off then I'm just gonna double it good in the back of a foot having no shoes on uh hurts this sounds hot I've got the transfer case in neutral so it'll pull out now man he just hit a hole you can see it under the water the sand just slopes off right there into a big hole that is so sad like it's exciting and fun to do recovery but I hate when an expensive piece of equipment gets ruined like this okay pulling it's coming right out I need you to go in the back of the more bear and get whatever tools we need to disconnect this battery if they're rolling yeah this side's rolling the back or not but the front is the backers stop let the pressure off so there's too high four High all right I think this is what we'll need to get the battery disconnected okay stop I'm gonna rub some water out of that this doesn't have two batteries does it this is gonna be a dead pull out I'm a little nervous about it honestly I think we should let the air out of a lot more air out of Dig Dug and more out air out of the banana we're gonna have to do it yeah I think uh having the record here would have been a good idea yeah we keep doing that don't we we're gonna get this turned around I think right here just because I think we can [Applause] okay relax it Tom I'm gonna grab the front now so I'm hooking right here this will give us the angle that we need to spin around how's that working over there [Music] well that's something there's something [Music] racer Jeep is the only thing that gets sunk in water dad how many ranger jobs that are in the water one right here at least can I go straight through there can I follow the winch yeah [Applause] can you grab the rollback and meet us I'll drop him a pen Matt said he'll drop you a pin so Matt just called said they have a vehicle that they need the rollback for which means it's probably a dead vehicle they're somewhere down by the river so we're gonna go find them and get him to roll back and get whatever vehicle they have out of there we saw in the ruins here we're like oh let's go check that out but follow the roads to it are gated yeah and we we found the rivers we're like oh we should just be able to drive up little ways never got lower deeper than our axles I even had her walk out here but uh yeah I hit that hole feels good to have it out of there it's still not running oh yeah I'm roasting and it's kind of humid down here by the water so take a dip in the river I need to okay so the plan is to hook both of these rigs up to this one go and go so that's not gonna start oh no okay who do you want to wear well you're in Dig Dug for sure okay I think Jamie's in the more ver you don't you could just probably drive out if you walked it you know where you're going I know but oh really a strong person in there okay well go get familiarize with your new Jeep that doesn't do anything it used to do so the only thing you can do now is steer it and break it we're gonna use one of these yankum toe points complete the job one of these nice yank them soft shackles one of the really long ones okay I think the key here is going to be to keep moving like we can't splash but we can't stop so just a nice medium speed all the way out yeah our first stop is going to be dry land the first dry land that we hit on this side of the river all right how treacherous this River can be my turn to hike up the river and I'm gonna get wet what jeans are the worst all right we got the more bear Dig Dug disabled vehicle let's do it happen to use use the bar or use my shirt to hold the bar because it is hot [Music] all right we made it to Matt's pen we're gonna go see if we can find where they're at that's pretty cool there's some beehives down there I have no idea where Matt is though I can't remember what that old building right there is but there's an old building right there we saw the ruins here we're like oh let's go check that out they're not moving very fast but I'm not gonna be able to keep up with them unless I run using the try and jump out of the water technique this is a bouncy ride it's kind of fun how was that Rhett I took a little dip when I stuck one of the holes the plan is now we've got one more River Crossing we can't stop till we get at least one rig on dry land and then we'll just kind of see I'm afraid it's too sharp of a turn for this long I'll be pulling you there so if I get off the road we can shorten up and then do it who knows maybe it'll be just fine okay we'll see how it goes I hope we make this part all right this is fun and all but please don't drive up the rivers it's just there's no reason to bit that's a lot of fun [Music] should I just keep going okay those aren't exactly shoes people are talking like I'm crazy because I wear my boots in the water but I never get rocks in my boots well mine come out real fast then I don't have soggy feet neither do I I live in the desert stop let's grab this [ __ ] cleaning up garbage turn your wheel a little bit this way yeah but not I'm gonna tell you how much because I don't want you a hundred percent right there if you try to draw oh that jeep needs this Wheels turned this way a hundred miles they should always be in line with those ropes they're still getting the car out of the river I just got off the phone with a rat [Music] I think it's time for a locker in the front you definitely need a locker in the front fortunately I got a more bear in the front I was going to give this a little bit shorter so hold your phone on the brake till I'm actually putting a little force that will gently go together that looks like a maze yeah it's a little thing I made I knew this corner was going to be a battle do you feel like we were close we made some progress on time but I think we need to be lined up this way where it's way shallower okay let's get you one hooked we've been here before yeah we have I was here one night in a razor a long time ago I remember that stop right there okay turn to the right and see if you can get to Point your nose down there all right a little late I'll do it I'm gonna win don't back up at all I'm gonna use the pressure that you have there to help us foreign let's get you in front all right we're getting close thank you [Music] okay get out the way [Applause] foreign [Music] well that was a battle that I think we're winning there's Cafe foreign thank you and that's the best I appreciate you guys all right we're gonna send them off with Jefe they're going to take it back to their house and then whatever [Music] okay there's a car stuck he says we got a car stuck one mile that way so we just got a call from Rhett there is a car stuck down just a little further than what we were so we're gonna go get them that's what you call a twofer how you doing yeah we'll get you out what's up Tom do this one yep nice and slow back up here let's hook you up Tom let's get one of your uh long soft tackles okay oh did you find anything under there to hook to yeah well I'm just trying to protect your brake lines a good spot yeah so in in general You're Gonna Want the back of your the center of your truck lined up with the passenger wheel on this car Okay the reason that is is because I would like this soft chuckle to be angled away from this tire so we don't damage our shackle actually oh you're dry aren't you wet but I'm not dirty let's put you in there since you're the only one that's not a mess yeah I'm still dry we're just going to the hard yeah okay [Music] stop it's not even moving Matt locking in the house yeah are you on it's in reverse okay I saw your lights but are you good you're good [Music] [Music] back up just a little okay this is so nice I don't know what to do with it I don't know how to shift I don't know how to roll down a window we got him out though shirts have not been restocked for a while nope you're gonna have to go with the large yeah all right we got that one done now we're just gonna head back home thanks for watching because he's leaking something back there but then I remembered where he pulled it off oh you're like he's he's leaking something yes
