Coming from maritime trades where if you attach a line to another vessel you assume 100% responsibility (If it sinks you buy it worst case) does anyone know the legal ramifications of yanking people out of ditches?
I have done it too but this just popped into my mostly empty head.
Before you pull, it's probably best to get a lawyer, draw up papers for the "yankee" to sign indicating that you, the "yanker" will not be responsible for any damage that the "yankee's" vehicle incurs.

Do we need special papers for southerners? What about mid westerners? This is all to confusing just leave them in the ditch!

With that kind of lean on the trailer, you don't touch it until a wrecker has the trailer secured. That was bad news before they even started.

Frame on that Pete will be bent for sure. Sucks.

Looks awesome! What does all that weigh?
425lbs. That's before subtracting the weight of the bumpers and skid plates that we took off.

Ho-leee....

As they say the path to hell is paved with good intentions.

One of my favorite youtube channels is Matt's Off-Road Recovery - and I wish I could remember the one but there is definitely a video where a customer calls in with his Jeep sideways like this and he tells Matt "well, it started in a better position than this but someone showed up that 'knew what they were doing...'"

Gotta love it.
