RESCUE NEEDED!! Anybody near Ridgecrest/395??

that's what awesome about the forum members, not the first time someone drove hours to bail another member out.

 

We've reached Shane, truck is on the trailer, just trying to get her strapped down before we head back down.

 

WTG!! Matt and Brad! Roadhead for both of you compliments of Shane!

 

props to TW members for helping out a member in need.This is what make Tw so cool.

 

Food, water, GPS, shelter, knowledge of exactly where the nearest town is... plust let's not forget he managed to get it back on it's wheels by himself.

He's better off solo than most groups are.

 

Rescue complete. Thanks to Matt and Brad. Enjoy Disney today Shane! Thanks go out to the 2 local off-roaders who got him off the mountain.

 

Great job guys! TW ROCKS! Not gonna comment on the various levels of derp. Good on OP for being prepared and good on all the folks that helped him out when the SHTF.

 

The truck doesnt look that bad for being on its side glad he made it okay it's good to know that you can count on people in this community to help when things get bad.

 

A tacoma even when beat looks good

 

Good work guys!!

 

Excellent job, guys!! Yeah, the truck still looks great!

 

Excellent job Matt and Brad. Beers and food on me at the next meet.

 

awesome.

 

Thank you guys so much for the support. Shane is very appreciative of everybody on this thread and the other 2 threads. He was tired, and frankly very worn out when we got to him, but we were able to winch him up the trailer with ramps, using a blue Optima battery on the ground (his battery will not hold a charge) and his own winch. Got it all strapped down by 3:00am, and high-tailed it across the Mojave only in time to hit traffic on the 91 going into OC. I'll be working until 6 tonight, and so will Brad. Shane, will be taking his boy to Disneyland.

I was a bit late for work this morning, Brad is a few hours late, but it was well worth it. The look on his son's face to have his daddy back for his 5th birthday is all the thanks we needed.

Some pics of a very long night:

 

Great final photo!! lolol That boy now has the coolest dad in his class.

 

well done matt.

 

That last pic is sooo much WIN!

 

Great jobs guys. Last pic say it all.

 

Thank you, but I really need to thank our friend Garrett for virtually throwing the keys to his Dodge at us before we could finish asking for it, and to my boss, Bond at Rebel Off Road for generously lending the flatbed to us.

Lastly, I want to thank Brad. He's been there through thick and thin, and if it's one thing I can be thankful of TW for, it's for providing me with some of the best friends a guy could ask for. The guy drops everything at the first sign of somebody needing a hand, and doesn't ever ask for anything in return. It's hard to find people like that these days. Glad I can call him my best friend and partner in crime

Gotta get back to work here!

 

Awesome job to everyone that helped out! Glad to see there are good people still out there!
