Got a call at 1730 Sunday night for a friend stuck on the wrong side of a raging river crossing. 3 hours away.
So keep in mind, I had just come back from this area at 130 Sunday morning, Arriving home at 430 am. Slept for a few hours. So I loaded back up and headed to help. Meeting another friend with a land cruiser on the way. We forded through a few sketchy deep river crossings that threatened to sweep me away, and found out stuck friends.
they had crossed this creek on Friday, but we got severe rain Saturday night and it was now over 4 feet deep, flowing FAST and dangerous. We threw straps across, pulled the first guy through on a strap with the cruiser. we almost lost him to the current. We had to run my winch line to him RFQ to get him all the way through. It was somewhat scary.
Even though we tarped his front end he still took in water. We drained 2 gallons of water from his OIL drain plug. Sucked the water out his intake Manifold, and pulled plugs to Shoot out what got into the cylinders. He fired up and was able to drive out under mostly His own power Dispute major electrical malfunctions.
We also pulled a 16 Tacoma through, he stayed dry. We winched and strapped him from the start and with the tarped front end his air filter was bone dry coming out. I hooked up a strap to him, to drag him through the rest of the crossings.
LC buddy hooked up to the other rig to drag him through. It was only a mile back to the trailhead so we made good time getting back. The rig that took on water wasn’t street worthy of the 3 he drive home. I trailered the soaker, my friend drove my Tacoma 3 hours on the highway to get home.
Got home at about 0615 this morning and had to immediately leave for work.
pretty rowdy ass time.
