Two Rescues Lead to Me Being Stranded

so we got a call for a subaru crosstrek that stuck out the sand hollow we're gonna head out there and see if we can get them out yeah hello everybody it's hot and smoky there's a fire going in arizona anyway we'll get him out this is ed's first job since he came back from gold mining isn't it yeah yeah he's been gone for a couple weeks we sure have missed him but he's back i'm glad for everybody's support and keep watching [Music] good afternoon [Music] [Music] yeah is that your super then we have a youtube channel you're famous yeah that's my car and you might have another customer yep just play with your dog for a minute we'll get it out [Music] they're gonna make it [Music] nice and big that's what they're talking about super off-road is their good better those recovery points okay so rudy i think we're gonna be going we're just gonna go down and make it and make a big arc but let's get clear down to the wet stuff and just go okay [Music] [Music] sorry about that we'll go pick her up and then talk to these people before they burn the transmission it's okay don't eat it we're going to go up you go up like a jumper go i know it's like scary come here there you go piece of cake hey can you explain to him what happens in the sand you get stuck out of here [Music] you almost got it i was doing that looks like the traction control keeps killing your power it does oh that's a sensor there it is i can tell you my kids were never listening to dad again [Music] they're all different kinds this this end is different it's a hundred different styles so for those of you that say this is for transporting it's not it has very specific ways of how to use and it's a lot of it is pointing to how you don't okay i guess we'll see what happens on this one um i'm just gonna go straight and if we can cut it short and come across the top of that covert we will okay [Music] [Music] that wasn't too bad thank you so much enjoy enjoy your stay so the first one i was a little bit shocked because i started driving forward before you hit the end of the rope because i put it in all-wheel drive um the second one is having a difficult time getting going because it's a hybrid and much like the tesla's format you've got to un take it out of park with one button put it out of neutral with another and then put it into drive with another knob so she had to train me on all that okay let's find out from this angle meter what we're looking at here hold on let us level it you got it level uh well we're not level right now well we're not going to be level right about there it's close yeah three heads [ __ ] vectors going up yeah that truck was at 36 degrees somebody told me there's no way it was but it was on a child could have picked that thing up do you think we can climb this one no i'm too sure well that's 35. what are we stuck what'd you do take out your front you know if you put a rib rag on this finish if we had a spare on top we would have rolled it just barely hey we need i need you to jump in rudy's jeep and bring me i need the makita um air compressor and a couple batteries and a floor jack and come through the tunnel and then just drive straight up the wall i've got to get eight inch wheels so i switched to these 10 inch wheels and i've regretted it ever since this is probably the sixth time we popped the tire off i've never lost a bead with the eight inch and i've switched these pins and i've lost eight of them my team's been across this a dozen times so we drove up this and when the front i don't know how that could be topped but it must have put a lot of load on that front tire that happened right there that's where it flew that blue it blew this hole in the sand and then from there you drove out yep so it's time for some bead locks but eight inch eight inch rims okay ed you might as well stay in the jeep where it's cool how is that it's actually a little bit cooler not really it's shade we found a place to live ed that's what we get for playing yeah you know we quit the job and start doing shenanigans crap like this happens i'm very disappointed with the tire retention of these particular wheels yeah calling back just calling this scat out here we'll have this thing popped on the bead by the time he gets here ed yeah you've been you've been hanging around with a pretty rough crowd and it's finally come to come to this blame it on your degree yeah this whole thing came about because i had a buddy give me that what do they call it a degree a meter or an angle meter or something like that angle finder no it's something it's something oh meter i looked it up come on old girl this is called vapor lock this is what happens when it's 111 degrees and you shut your jeep off when it's on the verge of overheating this is an old trick from the carbures carburetor days so you just pour this cold water right here on the fuel rail you are man it's hot it's a good thing it's not too far otherwise i would have brought that jug of hot water with me to drink what'd you do there ed make yourself a chair yeah you might have to help me out but not all in the shade work it'll get better and better if we're here all night it'll get nice by night it'll get you yeah by 6 a.m it'll be comfortable hello hey so can we add bead locks to my steel wheels yeah easy i think i'm about halfway down the trail now and man it's hot because i've had about enough of this this is the eighth time i've popped the bead off and i wasn't even doing anything i popped it off on almost completely flat ground yep so here i am sitting here in the tunnel and i'm hearing funny noises and little squeaks and stuff and i look up and i don't know if you can see it there's a little bat right there thank you tim here take this [Music] um [Music] so hmm [Music] how was california seen a couple bear one bear run out in front of me and the other bear guy was riding his motorcycle and uh he hit it the bear went over the side and he barely stayed upright and went on i wouldn't stop at that point i was that soft sand you know after those steps yeah i was having issues there can i get that under the pumpkin oh that's that brittle rock guys you're doing you're doing great okay see you later or what let's yeah let's get out of here well we'll see if we can do this without popping another tire off the bead that's really the most important thing i can think of right now so the important thing is is did anybody learn anything from that neither did i don't climb rocks today repair [ __ ] yeah we definitely need bead [Music] locks i think i'm just this is too risky without people that's what i think we should turn around [Music] [Music] going off of it i think so i think i'm gonna come right here in this end so [Music] yeah so we got there and uh did the job we were supposed to and then decide to show ed a little bit of uh what those new tires can do and test one of our new little tools and uh unfortunately we uh we lost the tire off the bead so we had to get that fixed before we could leave so tim was kind enough to come out we made it yep and we're gonna go find a drink of water

If you haven't watched this YouTube channel, I'm a big fan.
Varies a lot from simple stuck in the sand to holy crap how did that even GET there?!
Enjoy! :D

I thought it was funny how Rudy talked about putting the car in all wheel drive after they pulled it out lol. I think she could have got out on her own with some guidance. Air down your tires and throw on x-mode to crawl out!

I saw that!!!!!

[u/crazytr]

Was it the height that got them stuck, did they not air down their tires? Is it just the awd system can't handle sand?
