A Plea For HELP! To Anyone Within A Reasonable Distance Of American Fork Canyon

[UNSTUCK]

I hope nobody has their hopes up about this video. Even though you're getting it for free, you're getting ripped off.

I'd like my free back please.

Had we known this was going happen, we could have rolled it down the hill instead of rescuing it.

That would have been cool. Maybe next summer a bunch of guys throw in $25 or so and buy a junker to take up there and push over. The clean up operation might be a bigger job than saving my truck though, haha.

I'd just fix the suspension, do the minimum required to pass safety, and keep driving it.

I'd be down for that, but the windshield would be tough. The passenger side of it is bent at like a 45* angle from the body damage.

Why would we hate you for rolling your rig….some of us do it often
time to start cutting stuff off and wheeling it harder!

I was kidding, but it's still a bummer cause mine WAS one of those ones that was still in pretty good shape for its age...
You might have the right idea there. Though the problem then becomes getting it TO the trails.

Great now that one is going to be stuck in my mind...

I worked on this for about 3 hours tonight. It's still got another 3-5 hours to go, but it's shaping up nicely. Thanks to everyone who filmed and submitted the footage.

I'm trying to find the right song for the background music. Help!" A little help from my friends? Redemption song?

Rolling and Tumbling, of course.

I bet with a hilift and a comealong and a tree we could get that "close enough". Make a set of half doors and you'd still be street legal and wouldn't need to tow it.

I've got grinders, a sawzall, a little welder and a big hammer - I'd love to help you carve up your truck if you want a hand .

Cream was one of the best all times bands ever.

I'm still a little skeptical on the windshield, but if do-able, this definitely sounds like the best route for me. Good call.

Mitch, you are a beast. You shoveled more than a little bit of rock out there.


... getting close. Hopefully the edit will be done in an hour or so, then we'll play the waiting game for it to upload. Thanks for your patience everyone.

Well it is free after all, guess you get what you pay for.

you might have gotten less than you paid for with this one.

The video is finally done. It's uploading to YouTube. I have super slow upload speeds, so it's going to be tomorrow morning before it's uploaded.

About time. I was living in North Dakota when this happened
