Rubber Duckies All Over the Road (2 Viewers)

First time for me being first on the scene. Near Carson on our way to float the Rio. Sole occupant, on her phone. Uninjured. Engine stil running.
Classic scenario: drifted off the road and overcorrected. 37 inch tires on a three inch lift.

Be careful out there.

I shouldn’t laugh, that’s a bummer for her

I did that once and found a rattlesnake next to me after climbing out of the vehicle. Anything you can walk away from is a blessing.

can this vehicle be upright able with a winch or would it just keep sliding on the asphalt?

Good question. I know I would try with a winch.

It takes some finesse. When I was a knucklehead wrecker operator I did them with a flatbed wrecker with the bed dropped to the ground and winch line run through a snatch block or chain bridle on the end of the bed, increasing the angle of the pull.
Number one thing is make sure it’s in gear and brake set so it’s not a runaway when it hits the ground. It’s harder when they’re up side down, gotta rig up a level to both lift and push down to keep them from skidding.

When Jack put his 4Runner on its side I hooked a kinetic rope to the frame on the high side and gave it a jerk with the LX. It came right over on the wheels.

The fatty 37’s on that jeep flop prolly woulda grabbed pretty well and not slip a whole lot.

Sounds like a mathematics of triangles and physics game. When you get it right, you are an interweb hero. No substitute for a good mind and experience!
