Toyota Recovery today! took 4 hours from hookup

My uncle and I were hunting deer today and took 2 trucks to cover different areas. He has a 89 Toyota pickup with 100,000 miles and in the middle of a creek bottom his truck dies. So I had to tow him 45 miles up the mountain on horrible shale roads to get him out. We started up the horrible rip rap shale roads at noon and just got home

The Tacoma as always held strong and had its head up the whole time

 

Way to go. Whats wrong with the old yota?

 

It had 90k when we went to look at it! After all the pull and everything you can see in the pic my uncle under the truck because I just pointed out to him that his wiring harness was melted to the top of his catalytic converter!!!!!

Shorted out the fuel pump and wouldnt start, so I cut the wires apart and duct taped them seperate and replaced the blown fuse and she was good to go. Glad that when I asked him if any of the fuses were blown and he said no that I took his word for it haha

 

and as we were coming out a military truck threw a rock and cracked my windshield

 

How many rocks did you throw at the 89 pickup on the way up those rocky roads with dead weight behind you??! Haha

 

Also take note that I dont have any mud flaps
