Sorry vids to be added later...

A night shot by the Ranger Station


And fast forward to today...

What we stumbled upon after about 15 miles of fire road (this is the way he went down the side):

Another angle:


Getting the first strap down there:


Slowly getting back up:








Nearing freedom!!!




Some damage:


Also a nice dent on the bed side and little scuffing on the roof...and thats it damage wise, other then a part of the caliper started rubbing but we fixed it at the end of the trail.

Stupid Yucca was holding us back the entire way!






path at the top:




I didn't get a lot of pics but we ended up with my truck a 4x4 expedition and an f-250 winch equipped and it took all these trucks to get him back up.

 

So how the heck did he drive off of a cliff?

 

more pics of the truck man!!

glad to hear you guys got it out with no additional casualties.... ive heard of people trying to tow out cliffed vehicles and then getting pulled down themselves

 

Probably came around the corner too fast

 

I saw that thread, I commented in it twice lol but I want some more details!

 

Glad to hear you guys got it out with little damage

 

holy fack....did i miss a thread or something?

 

hmm, so disabling ABS offroad can save you lol.
Good to hear it all went well.

 

that really doesnt look as bad as it could have been though. glad you got it out and are ok!

 

LOL! thats what i wanna know! (I saw the other thread too, but no info there)

 

I'm gunna venture to say speed, lack of lighting, and not paying attention to where he was.

Got out lucky, hope a lesson is learned.

 

My impression from the other thread was it was caused by an unwanted ABS activation combined with excessive speed for conditions. A few more details would be nice though...first time on this road? blind corner? etc.

 

i guess Rangerjustin doesn't want anyone to know the reason why the accident happened. either it was a stupid manuever or the rest of the guy's there told him not to tell what happened.
RangerJustin? tell your friends here at R-F what really happened!

 

Here is the thread the driver started:
