I buzzed my ring gear like that in a near stock XJ. It made noise and vibrated after that until I re-geared it. But if you have a low pinion front end it’s actually stronger in reverse… I think JKs are all HP30 and 44s
>doing it in reverse. That’s a great way to strip teeth...
off your face when a shackle/hitch/towstrap parts and slingshots it through your windshield. There are some horrible, horrible videos of this posted if you look around.
For fuck sakes if youre going to do that at least hold the brakes down..
OR I dunno.. put the fucking transfer case in neutral.
(are they electric on these? I have no idea)
Winch from 2 stationary vehicles with snatch blocks.
Or tow it with both vehicles joined together inline and driving forwards not backwards.
Also finding a way to put the transfer case in neutral so I rolled and didn’t have to be dragged.
Also keep all people away from the recovery.
If the engine died, which it probably did because most snorkels are not sealed, the transmission will be in park and you need to crawl under the vehicle to put it in N.
What are you driving that requires you to get underneath to put the transmission in neutral? The only time I’ve ever seen this is when the electrical system is entirely dead or there is no key. Being that he drove it out there, he has a key. Your car must be a real piece of shit if you have to get underneath it every time you shift to neutral especially seeing as how neutral is between reverse and drive.
Yeah neutral is between reverse and drive in my two manual transmission Patrols. Righto.
Most modern vehicles with automatics have no mechanical linkage between the shifter and the transmission. If the engine isn't running and/or there is no electrical power you are stuck in park. The only way to get the auto transmission into N is to use the override accessible from under the car. Not what you want to do when it's still in a river.
Apparently Jeeps still have a mechanical transfer case lever though so that could've been put in neutral instead.
I'm not sure which video you watched but in this one he was dragged out wheels locked up by two other vehicles. It was in park.
There’s also an override for the transmission in the cab actually, there’s a plate you pop off right in front of the gear shift and you can pull up to get it into neutral. Transfer case neutral also works though.
I'm a New Zealander so I have no idea how Jeeps work, they are very uncommon here and the ones we do see are rarely used offroad, but that's a good feature.
Absolutely fair, I think most people forget about the override unless they need to move it for a power loss lol.
I’m assuming they’re probably prohibitively expensive there like they are in AUS if I had to guess?
Yeah expensive to buy and expensive to fix as parts and expertise are rare. If you want a solid axle vehicle you're better off with a Patrol or Landcruiser. I think they are generally stronger and more reliable anyway, at least in our local market with the mods and stuff we have available here.
Definitely see that, I’d love to get my hands on a patrol or some of the land cruisers you guys get for the more chill overlanding stuff.
And thankfully over here the aftermarket for a Jeep is insane, you can just build some of the older ones by buying aftermarket frames, bodies etc from the ground up lol. Next upgrade is bigger front and rear axles and a new transfer case and I’m pretty much done other than hydro assist steering and 37s once my current 35s wear out.
Yep, my LR4/Disco4 has one. Had to use it the other week after it got stuck in Park. Luckily it was able to go onto a recovery truck.
The actual issue with it was with the gear change module. One of the connections needed re soldering.
I need to add a portable soldering iron to my car kit.
You definitely do not need to crawl under it to put it in N. My Jeep is old enough that both the trans and tcase shifter are mechanical and can be shifted with no power. I'm not sure if these newer Wrangler's have an electronic shifter for the transmission but the tcase is still mechanical.
> I'm not sure if these newer Wrangler's have an electronic shifter for the transmission but the tcase is still mechanical.
The new one's are electronic. My wife's JT will put itself in park if you open the door while stopped. One more reason to go manual and to keep my LJ.
Not true. Fiats have an orange tab hidden that you can override the park switch. Some even have a little removable tab to shift to neutral. That’s a bmw thing with the trans having to be put into neutral with a Allen wrench
Less wear and tear and less moving parts to the recovery. Also their form on this was all around really bad. Shouldn't snatch in reverse and looks like they were actually tied off to their winches instead of a recovery point.
Honestly the more you look at it the more it becomes a pretty decent example of "how to ford a river dangerously, and then how to recover a dead jeep dangerously" so it's not bad as a cautionary video.
yeah, winch is also significantly easier to control than a YOLO DOUBLE REVERSE YANK, but given the way they got into this situation in the first place, I'm not even remotely surprised lol
The way they did it would make sense if it was bobbing in deep water and they wanted to try and recover it before it sinks. Stupid in this situation though.
Up until recently he didn't even own a winch. I've stopped watching him because he refuses to do basic things that would make his recoveries safer, easier, and more practical. At least carry an air compressor, extra fuel, and some basic tools if you're going to be a professional...
1. Learn what a shiftlock override is and where it is on your vehicle. Could easily have released those wheels to spin.
2. When recovering from water/mud like this, it's best to break suction first. Use a slow recovery method (i.e. Winch) to break the suction, then use a kinetic rope if you want to.
3. In the previous video, I bet if he had thrown it into reverse when he got turned around and kept his wheels moving in the direction of travel, there were a couple moments where he could have caught the bank with a wheel and maybe brought him to the other side.
That sand on the beach is that fine, wet, gooey stuff that def can create lots of suction. No way of knowing exactly what's under that brown water but it's likely the same as is on the beach.
Moreover, if that's where the vehicle came to rest after floating in the current, that means other particulate matter (i.e. suction-causing sand) also likely precipitates and builds up in that location.
It looked like the engine died pretty quick. It would be unlikely that the snorkel and airbox were perfectly sealed.
I've seen a LandCruiser 70 series in this situation and they reversed down stream with only the front wheels on the ground until the river fanned out, then managed to get up the bank. The water was half way up the windscreen but the truck kept running as the snorkel was fully sealed and the engine was an old mechanical diesel.
That's what I'm talking about! Yeah it must not have been sealed because if it was, then the vehicle could definitely have made it out with the right driver
this guy was not the right driver, he had a wheel catch several times (you can see the speed and/or rotation change) and wasn't able to take advantage.
Exactly. On the first video thread I mentioned that there was a decent chance he makes it through if he quickly threw it in reverse, all these folks downvoted, saying "hurr durr snorkel no worky". Truck is plenty capable, the right driver makes it across.
> Learn what a shiftlock override is and where it is on your vehicle. Could easily have released those wheels to spin.
It's got a fucking manual T-case lever with neutral. Even if the Jeep was electrically dead you can always get it out of gear. The owner is just a moron.
4. Don't yank and tow in reverse. Your ring and pinion aren't made for that. They are made to do that moving forward. If you want to grenade your front and rear ends, that's the way to do it.
Yes. 1. snatch recoveries can be very dangerous if the car is stuck deep in the mud of the river, the odds of the rope failing before the car moves is a lot higher because deep mud is a slow and steady recovery, NOT a quick yank recovery 2. Doing a a kinetic recovery backwards with your windshield facing the connection points means that if it were to snap, its coming right at that windshield. (also just from a non safety car standpoint, doing a recovery in reverse is a lot more stress on the vehicle than fwd)
They shouldve either winched him out, or used their rear recovery points and went into low gear and pulled the water jeep out slowly,
Thank you! I don’t know if I’ll ever need this information, but if I should so happen to fall into a situation like this, consider this knowledge of invaluable importance and I am very grateful:)
Adding that they drug that jeep out of there while still in gear as evidenced by the locked wheels also both added to the power needed to pull it out and increased the likelihood of breaking things.
One of the fucksticks is pulling in reverse with his winch cable. The other looks like they have two lines tied together? That’s actually less stupid than shackling them together and getting a face full of momentum.
These people have no business trying any of this.
I wonder if the water got into the electronics and fried the shifter. New model vehicles don't have physical linkages anymore. And because they're Jeep drivers they don't understand how to operate their shift lock override.
The 2 Jeep owners that pulled him out have at least played an off road video game on their phones before. I fully expected one to ram the Jeep in the river until it was out.
Oh god, I didn’t even think about that until this moment but that could end pretty violently, huh
My jeep comes in next Wednesday to pick up. I’m so fucking new and learning a lot here phew
Don’t pull in reverse, let alone by blasting into it. The shape of ring and pinion gears is scalloped so that forward direction is strongest and reverse is not.
Also just generally don’t do this so fast. People can get hurt and jeeps can get hurt. Buy a fucking winch and know how to use it.
Lol two Jeeps towing from the river when they should both be up on dry ground connected in series.
And yanking that hard while in water is how you get 3 stuck Jeeps
These are the type of dudes to have a snatch block under their seat and not know how to use it.
WHY WAS IT STILL IN GEAR???
They probably could have gently towed it out or even driven it out otherwise. You literally just pull a handle to put the T-case into neutral. These guys are morons.
Drunk probably, cameraman tells them from the beginning to "let dude release parking brake first" giggle, at the end he tells them again with a little more disdain in his voice "the idiot is still in gear". Edit words
Cameraman was telling them the whole time that it was "amarrado" ( literally it means tied up, but in this case ebrake/ in gear) clowns wouldn't listen lol. That "guey/wey" at the end sounded personal too lol, as in "the idiot is in gear" and not "the dude is in gear"
What kind of shitty math problem is this?
“How many Ethan’s driving jeeps does it take to pull Dustin’s jeep out of a river? Round to the nearest white claw”
Hey, this looks like a good chance to use these winches we paid a lot of money for.
Nah, let’s just connect this tow strap I got somewhere to both winches and see what happens.
*The adolescent jeep remains stuck as the elders of the herd gather round helplessly, unsure what to do. Their efforts remain futile as nature tragically takes its course…*
*David Attenborough voice
It boggles my mind the stupidity of some people around moving water. It takes very little to overwhelm a vehicle and much less a person. Stay safe lunatics!
I expected no less than to see the wheels locked up when they yanked him out. Looked like the two doing the towing didnt have much communication either, just all gas and pick the pieces up later lol.
Wouldn’t you want to pull tension first then pull jeep out? That lasso was loose and they went ham! That could’ve ended bad, right? Snapping lasso, whipping opposite directions, etc!
wow..... I'm an absolute amateur off roader and even I know pulling with a static rope like this with a tug is a definite no-no.
Sheeeeeeeesh do some basic research. dumb and dumber!!!
This is the kind of recovery I would expect from jeep owners.
😂 Just yoink away as fast as you can. Nothing bad ever happens when you do that…
The worst part is they were doing it in revers. That’s a great way to strip teeth off the ring gear.
I buzzed my ring gear like that in a near stock XJ. It made noise and vibrated after that until I re-geared it. But if you have a low pinion front end it’s actually stronger in reverse… I think JKs are all HP30 and 44s
>doing it in reverse. That’s a great way to strip teeth... off your face when a shackle/hitch/towstrap parts and slingshots it through your windshield. There are some horrible, horrible videos of this posted if you look around.
Right? It wouldn't have been so bad if they had used a kenetic rope, those tow straps set me on edge
C'mon man. They like watch their rescue. Lol
Didn’t help that the rear wheels weren’t spinning. Like the dude had his foot on the brake or couldn’t get it in neutral
Yeah that aggressiveness, but it worked... this time.
Creating two pull angles instead of Daisy chaining to each other, pulling in reverse and jerking the shit out of it?
it's a Jeep thing.. you wouldn't understand
Lol. I think I’m ok with that
🦆🦆
Rough, out of time, but somehow barely functional?
For fuck sakes if youre going to do that at least hold the brakes down.. OR I dunno.. put the fucking transfer case in neutral. (are they electric on these? I have no idea)
What got me was one jeep had a snatch strap and the other had a winch rope.
The fucking pinion.. hopefully a u joint would give out first.
Yea the jeep being pulled out was either in gear or in park.... big brains
Offroad newbie here. How would it be done properly and what did they do wrong?
Winch from 2 stationary vehicles with snatch blocks. Or tow it with both vehicles joined together inline and driving forwards not backwards. Also finding a way to put the transfer case in neutral so I rolled and didn’t have to be dragged. Also keep all people away from the recovery.
I've watched enough Matt's Offroad Recovery to know they should've been winching instead of towing.
And when they snatched him his wheels were locked up too. So it was probably still in gear, but the wipers work great!
Shit, you are right, they are lucky if the differential wasn't broke
It's a jeep, that differential has been long gone.
If the engine died, which it probably did because most snorkels are not sealed, the transmission will be in park and you need to crawl under the vehicle to put it in N.
Orrr put the transfer case in neutral…
I've never driven a Jeep but that'll definitely work if they have a mechanical lever for the transfer. I assumed it would be a button.
They still got levers!
nope still a mechanical lever.
Probably the main reason that jeeps are still around in the off-road community and there’s no other competition.
What are you driving that requires you to get underneath to put the transmission in neutral? The only time I’ve ever seen this is when the electrical system is entirely dead or there is no key. Being that he drove it out there, he has a key.

All you need is a butane torch and some solder wire
Many Toyotas have this too
Not in all cars. My mercedes has no way to be mechanically moved to neutral. Stupid but true.
*swim
You definitely do not need to crawl under it to put it in N. My Jeep is old enough that both the trans and tcase shifter are mechanical and can be shifted with no power. I'm not sure if these newer Wrangler's have an electronic shifter for the transmission but the tcase is still mechanical.

The driver must have put it in park so it wouldn't float away.
That's why the guy whistled and waved signaling them to stop. They kept going though lol
Wait what would be the difference here?
Less wear and tear and less moving parts to the recovery. Also their form on this was all around really bad. Shouldn't snatch in reverse and looks like they were actually tied off to their winches instead of a recovery point.
Honestly the more you look at it the more it becomes a pretty decent example of "how to ford a river dangerously, and then how to recover a dead jeep dangerously" so it's not bad as a cautionary video.
Yeah wtf i just noticed how bad it was. Dudes using his winch but at the same time not using it lol
Apparently they think the winch is just for spooling up the cable after you're done like a hose reel.
A 2fer!
I look like they were using standard tow rope instead of recovery rope.
Like the other reply to me said, the more you look the worse it gets
Everyone shading the shitty recovery, but honestly this is far from the worst outcome here. No one died and the jeep is on dry land.
"No one died this time" is not right take here. Every decision was the wrong decision, and they got lucky. It is right the throw shade at them.
Right, but this comment chain listing examples of all the screw ups is in response to someone asking why this was bad.
yeah, winch is also significantly easier to control than a YOLO DOUBLE REVERSE YANK, but given the way they got into this situation in the first place, I'm not even remotely surprised lol
The way they did it would make sense if it was bobbing in deep water and they wanted to try and recover it before it sinks. Stupid in this situation though.

I’ve watched him winch for years
As far as I can tell, his first winch job was a few years ago. Otherwise he's always just yanked and pulled. Either way, the rest of my point stands.
A few years ago isn’t “until recently”.
Always winch in a recovery *unless* it is unsafe or impossible to do so, which is extremely rare.
I've watched enough Matt's Offroad Recovery to know that they should have taken it out of gear first.

Shiftlock? Jeeps literally have a manual lever to pop the transfer case into neutral. This guy doesn't belong anywhere near a 4x4
None of these people mentioned it?
Shiftlock is well-overlooked. But this was rocks, not mud, no need to worry about suction.
That sand on the beach is that fine, wet, gooey stuff that def can create lots of suction. No way of knowing exactly what's under that brown water but it's likely the same as is on the beach. Moreover, if that's where the vehicle came to rest after floating in the current, that means other particulate matter (i.e. suction-causing sand) also likely precipitates and builds up in that location.
You can see it in the video. If there were any fine silt it would wash up on the tires and stick for a bit.
yeah you're right... ugh painful to look that closely at those wheels getting dragged like that lol
It looked like the engine died pretty quick. It would be unlikely that the snorkel and airbox were perfectly sealed. I've seen a LandCruiser 70 series in this situation and they reversed down stream with only the front wheels on the ground until the river fanned out, then managed to get up the bank.

"But he has a snorkel!"
[удалено]
Excuse my ignorance, can you elaborate on the danger. Is it the risk of the bungee snapping back and hitting the occupants of the jeeps pulling?
Yes. 1. snatch recoveries can be very dangerous if the car is stuck deep in the mud of the river, the odds of the rope failing before the car moves is a lot higher because deep mud is a slow and steady recovery, NOT a quick yank recovery 2. Doing a a kinetic recovery backwards with your windshield facing the connection points means that if it were to snap, its coming right at that windshield.

Adding that they drug that jeep out of there while still in gear as evidenced by the locked wheels also both added to the power needed to pull it out and increased the likelihood of breaking things.
I noticed that and assumed it was damage rather than incompetence! I must have overestimated these guys
The camera man yelling at them and waving his arms to stop yet they kept pulling another 30 feet was the cherry on top
I don't think that was a kinetic strap so even worse.
One of the fucksticks is pulling in reverse with his winch cable. The other looks like they have two lines tied together? That’s actually less stupid than shackling them together and getting a face full of momentum. These people have no business trying any of this.
Plus, ya know, snatching from their winches rather than recover points.
[удалено]
Damn. The jello image hits home. Thank you!
Thanks for teaching me the hood lesson!
They started by not knowing the powers and forces of rushing water, which is already sketchy enough.
That's not how you use a winch
Love how they just dragged it all the way in park. Now on top of water damage you probably need a transmission.
How he got in this mess (Part 1): https://www.reddit.com/r/4x4/s/xXTHE5L7os
This looks expensive.
Bunch of fkn amateurs
Everything about this was dumb
Yeah maybe you need 2 jeeps to pull it if you leave it in park LOL
Maybe put it in neutral first?
I wonder if the water got into the electronics and fried the shifter. New model vehicles don't have physical linkages anymore. And because they're Jeep drivers they don't understand how to operate their shift lock override.
The 2 Jeep owners that pulled him out have at least played an off road video game on their phones before. I fully expected one to ram the Jeep in the river until it was out.
Seems to me these people have no business off-road in a jeep. This must be their first time.
Also nothing in the middle of the line to weigh it down if it snapped.
Learning loads from this post! How do you do that then?
Tie a wet towel, or use the bag that the snatch strap comes in with something soft and heavy/wet in it.
Also obligatory: Never ever tow a vehicle from a trailer towball.
Oh god, I didn’t even think about that until this moment but that could end pretty violently, huh My jeep comes in next Wednesday to pick up. I’m so fucking new and learning a lot here phew
These people have no idea wtf they’re doing 🤣
WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE REVERSE GEAR!!
Don’t pull in reverse, let alone by blasting into it. The shape of ring and pinion gears is scalloped so that forward direction is strongest and reverse is not. Also just generally don’t do this so fast. People can get hurt and jeeps can get hurt. Buy a fucking winch and know how to use it.

Did he not put it in neutral?
Where’s the guy who was adamantly commenting on the first video that the jeep was reversing out of the water and able to drive home?
I said it was totaled in the first video lol.
Amazing how all those commentors disappeared after the first video. Dudes literally saying he's 100% fine with the 'snorkle' 🤣
Well if it wasn't, it sure as shit is now. I wouldn't be surprised if it still starts and runs, but it's never going to smell right again...
Was that thing in park when they dragged it? What kind of stupid shit is this?
Ummm... Was that vehicle still in gear when they yanked that from the river?
WHY WAS IT STILL IN GEAR??? They probably could have gently towed it out or even driven it out otherwise. You literally just pull a handle to put the T-case into neutral. These guys are morons.
Drunk probably, cameraman tells them from the beginning to "let dude release parking brake first" giggle, at the end he tells them again with a little more disdain in his voice "the idiot is still in gear". Edit words
Well at least that makes sense. I wonder how much damage they did. Honestly it's a miracle that none of them were injured.
Cameraman was telling them the whole time that it was "amarrado" ( literally it means tied up, but in this case ebrake/ in gear) clowns wouldn't listen lol. That "guey/wey" at the end sounded personal too lol, as in "the idiot is in gear" and not "the dude is in gear"
What kind of shitty math problem is this? “How many Ethan’s driving jeeps does it take to pull Dustin’s jeep out of a river? Round to the nearest white claw”
Didn't event put it in neutral. Just insane.
Ok we have you hooked up, now turn off the engine and put it in park... wait safety first...dont forget the parking brake!
That gets worse the more times you watch it. Should be used as a vid on what not to do.
More cents than sense
“No low-ballers, I know what I have.”
Why didn’t they put a bunch of those stupid ducks under it to help float it out?
Should have just used their rubber ducks to float it to safety. Jeez.
Why didn’t he have it in neutral? Pulling against locked wheels?
Hydrolocked?
1st rule when offloading a jeep. Bring multiple jeeps so when one of you break down the others can tow you home! 🤣
Not a winch in sight
Even worse. Tow or snatch straps attached to winches.
These are Jeeps, not jon boats...
Were the hubs locked up, didnt look like the tires spun when pulled
They probably couldnt figure out how to take it out of park.
Were the hubs locked up, didnt look like the tires spun when pulled
dumbass
Did their ducks make it out safe? Please reply.
Yes all ducks made it safely out of the vehicle and are now at one with the river floating downstream as pollution.
I like how the windshield wipers were on
Electrical damage, they are now forever on.
Snorkel the TIPM next time
Hey, this looks like a good chance to use these winches we paid a lot of money for. Nah, let’s just connect this tow strap I got somewhere to both winches and see what happens.
You first. No, you first.
Still probably totaled lol.
*The adolescent jeep remains stuck as the elders of the herd gather round helplessly, unsure what to do. Their efforts remain futile as nature tragically takes its course…* *David Attenborough voice
Note to self. Don’t buy a red jeep.
Was this in Azusa canyon?
Im guessing it still starts
Shoulda put it in rivers sooner
Good thing he had his wipers on. Without them, he would have been toast.
Someone didn't go through first before taking their car
This is the red jeep club. where we only do stupid things in red jeeps.
It's a jeep thing. Still.
It boggles my mind the stupidity of some people around moving water. It takes very little to overwhelm a vehicle and much less a person. Stay safe lunatics!
So beautiful. Three red jeeps. All for one, one for all
mOaR jEePs wiLL sOlVe it, c'mOn BoYs!
[удалено]
TJs, YJs, and CJs seem to be more reliable than the Fiat models
Why?
At least the wipers still work.
Good thing that snorkel was high. The other jeep swere afraid of the water, as they should be. They saw what it did to the clean jeep.
Que bola pendejos no mams so tan babosos eduquence pinches nacos de mierda
I expected no less than to see the wheels locked up when they yanked him out. Looked like the two doing the towing didnt have much communication either, just all gas and pick the pieces up later lol.
Are red Jeep owners the red-headed stepchild of 'normal' Jeep owners?
Ouch!!!
Everything about this recovery makes my ass itch.
Thank you for the update to the original tomfoolery. Now there is even more to laugh about. I love it
He just needed more ducks is all
Glad it's in park
Precisely why you buy a Land Cruiser: so you don’t need 3 jeep wranglers
This dude has a winch....
Nice 3-way Jeep on Jeep action.
Wouldn’t you want to pull tension first then pull jeep out? That lasso was loose and they went ham! That could’ve ended bad, right? Snapping lasso, whipping opposite directions, etc!
"Offer Up post" Absolutely nothing wrong with this one. Looking to get a different vehicle for my family. Never abused.
Seriously, it took two jeeps? Meh.
Shouldn’t it just have floated due to all the rubber ducks?
But what also floats in water?
A duck floats in water. Bread, apples, very small rocks, cider, gravy, cherries, mud, churches, lead...
How Many Jeep owners does it take to screw in a light bulb? We will never know, they are all in the river.
wow..... I'm an absolute amateur off roader and even I know pulling with a static rope like this with a tug is a definite no-no. Sheeeeeeeesh do some basic research. dumb and dumber!!!
This is very true. Can you tell what's going on in the middle of the yellow strap? Is that a broken strap that's been tied together?
Think they’ve just lark headed two straps together
I have a feeling this video is after several hours of different attempts at recovery - including breaking a strap.
