I just want to add that the first attempt to lift the jeep was not intended to pull jeep out just trying to get bumper out of sand so we could hook under bumper . I could not lift up on the tow hook as it had such a slight curve in it any up pull and it would have slid off . . I had no idea that the ornemental
tow hook on top of the front frame was not for towing . Just for looks . Got video loaded right this time . We had to wait for low water to recover the jeep as my big 4x4 wrecker lost a tie rod end next to the surf line . We were still 2 hours to high tide so we spent an hour dragging and winching muy International out of the surf line . We took the Heavy recovery Kenworth down in the morning at low water winched the Jeep out and then winched the wrecker down to the hard sand . I spent 4 hours yesterday getting front suspension back together and will repair hubs and blown hydraulic line today . Made for a long night
