Pretty rough rescue, but it beats being stuck in that snow bank!  :lol:

Jeez, the owner of the jeep must have really pissed off the excavator operator.  Seems like after it was set down that there would be a less damaging way to finish the job than dragging it sideways

Wow, wouldn't it have been easier just to hook up the jeep to the excavator and pull it out?  :puzzled:

Well, one thing is fore sure, that rear cross member held up!  :lol:  Not sure I'd want to be lifting it up in the air twirling around like a fish.  I'm going to assume, the excavator operator and the Jeep owner are one in the same.  Probably pissed off he got stuck and his friends were there watching.  :roflol:

A bit rough but the operator actually tried to keep the damage low by setting it down in the snow and not directly on the hard road.  Pulling it out would have been better though.

this vid is a pretty old one now. and ya it was retarded It wasn't what I expected with the title.  I expected a pull off or climbing something but was just weird why they would have even considered lifting it like that.  I was waiting for it to fall from that height !!

I was sort of expecting the excavator to start swing the Jeep around like a mace.  :lol:
