3 stooges towing? I noticed several times where they looped straps over hitch balls. Not a great idea.

Matt uses a pintle hitch on his yellow banana but you use what you have. My first thought was how many Jeeps does it take to get 1 Ranger out? 1 stuck , one broke and ranger was still in the water. lol

Yes. I would call that an interesting day of wheeling. But not a recovery operation to be proud of.

Agreed not a recovery to be proud of. Still a good entertaining video for the Ranger enthusiasts.

So much wrong in that whole recovery. They got it done and no one got hurt. So, it's a win. This time.

Yeah... cause there’s no better way to attach a 2” strap into a 2” receiver other than throwing it over the ball.
