Another reason...

This is the perfect example why i dont buy used. Not the jeep by any means. That guy has it set up for doing what it does. The Yukon and more so that poor JayFlight have got to be a hot mess.
What kind of person thinks this is a good idea?? Lol!

Makes me miss my former XJ's. We had 2 of them at one point, a 1995 and 2001.

I am not a Jeep fan at all but that was impressive...

I suspect I have watched almost all of his videos over this past year. There are many RVs that have been rescued. Just about anything you can imagine.

I just found this channel a few days ago and have gotten hooked. I've never boondocked, but some of the situations these trailers have gotten into are just scary. I thought the toy hauler fifth wheel on the first one I watched was going to roll over.

Not even in my 4WD Tahoe. Nope. No way. And only partially because owner of said Tahoe (DW) would have me killed, but it's just a BAD idea.

I've watched several of his videos. The thing I respect most about him is his lack of "judgement" of those people he helps. I don't think I've ever heard him say anything like "WTH were YOU thinking?!"

And his XJ never ceases to amaze me...

ETA: Part of me wonders if the owner of that Jayco is a member here... Where's my popcorn?

I watched a lot of these videos as well over the few months, in fact I also purchased a "kinetic" rope in case I ever need to pull one of my vehicles out of the mud (which is what these guys use). The kinetic rope is key to pulling something heavier out with a lighter vehicle, it works similar to a rubber band and stretches quite a bit instead of ripping your vehicle in half and then quickly pulls the stuck vehicle out. ~CA
