Winching fun - 13/10/03 04:26 PM
The other night I got a call around 10pm to flip a 2002 4x4 Tahoe back up on all 4 tires. I have a Warn XD9000 on my X that worked perfectly for the job. Since the Tahoe was total dead weight, we used a Rubicon to drag him out as far as he could before I had to winch him out another mudhole.
He was out playing around in some mudholes at night and took a bad angle too fast into a deep mudhole. He ended up rolling it onto it's driver's side which did a lot of body damage to his front driver's side door and did structural damage to the upper cab section. They ended up having to crawl out into the mud through the sunroof. The vehicle sucked up a lot of water into the doors, seats, & dash.
On top of that, the engine is now blown due to it sucking up water and bending a rod in the engine. I'm not sure on the details on that, this is just what the guy told me today after the mechanics looked at it.
