RECOVERED

It's a nice drive though. lol

 

No need. You're trying to help Kevin.

 

Bump hope you get out… keep us updated…

 

Quick update for everyone. I appreciate everyone’s suggestions. I’m aires down to just below 10psi and I’ve been trying to move back and forth but still no luck. I’ve been able to clear a bit of snow and winch myself forward and fill in the areas where I high centered. I was able to get myself back onto the road but immediately sunk and was back to square one. My best bet right now is to wait for the recovery guy named Frosty.
I have a few pictures that I’ll post once I get service but by that point I should be unstuck.

 

frosty the snowman

 

Frosty is the name of the company. Alex is the owner. I've never wheeled with him but he seems like a good dude. He started the business last year and I honestly hope he does well with it. With the increased off-road traffic on the East Side I'm sure he will.

 

I've been on the the trail with Alex and Jenna (frosty4wheeler) many times, they are two of the most stand up people in Mammoth ...

This is their IG page

I just texted them the link to this thread..

 

imagine, an actual fucking snowman appears

 

They’re recovering the other 4runner first and they are 22 miles away. Thanks again fellas. Will update when recovered.

 

Fuck man. Is there anyone you haven't wheeled with? lol

Also, want to weld on a new strut tower for me next time your up this way? I can weld but for this type of repair I'd like someone with 1000's of feet of welds under there belt.

 

Their getting recovered, sounds like frosty came through as always.

 

All done and aired back up. Ended up throwing the spare on because one of the beads wouldn’t seat all the way. thanks again guys! 10/10 would recommend Frosty 4X4 if anyone needs recovered. Super friendly and he rolled up in a built ‘85 Toyota pickup that floated right over the snow!

 

pictures of the crime scene please

 

Stopping for some rest on our way back to SoCal tonight. Will definitely post some more pictures once were a little more rested. I have some footage on the gopro as well but I don’t think it does it any justice. The entire time getting pulled we kept trying to sink back down. Had to get a solid yank to get us going a few times on that same road.

Even once we got on that road in the picture we couldn’t manage to stay over that hard packed snow.

How far north does SoCal go?

 

@BoomBam I'm so glad you and yours are safe. I'm also glad you live-posted this whole process because it has completely deleted my ambitions to "just go play around in the snow". I especially appreciate your detailed description of the terrain-behavior as you tried to get free. I didn't really know snow and ice could interact that way. Your rig looks super capable, and if you had trouble I know my setup would have been a disaster. You've probably saved me from becoming a Taco-scicle out on some snowy road in the boonies.
