sunrise lake needs your help

Great job Guy's and awsome pics love the underwater shots

Funny.... I've been on BC4x4 for some time... and I typically wheel with my close friends group and have never been out on a run with a bunch from BC4x4, but from what I've read and seen on this board.... I really have to give some serious recognition to 2 guys I've never met, but seem like they'll do anything for a fellow in need... and apparently sometimes don't get $$ in return to pay for the costs. They seem to be in the rare group of people who GIVE more than they RECEIVE.

To Chris & Sas... I seriously look forward to meeting you guys and wheeling with you one day. For guys I've never met, you are top notch in my books!

Thanks Kelly.

Good work to all (like it hasn't been said already)
Who's the dude in the fire department t shirt??? What department???



The pix of the jeep just under the water is very cool (side view)...


Cheers R...

Who's the dude in the fire department t shirt??? What department???

All I know is that he was a friend of the Jeep owners father.

effin' rights boys nice job. i was hoping to make it out saturday morning...didnt work out so well coming home @ sun up the night before...

regardless...way to go on a very difficult recovery. hopefully this is a lesson learned and nobody else will make such a mistake. any idea on how the water will get cleaned up?

[fish4life]

Right on guys .... glad to see it's out finally. Hopefully our run up on Tuesday wasn't a complete failure and the jeep was at least a bit closer to shore

So Chris, what was the complete carnage list suffered by you and Tmax???

[Bronco Boy]

I just couldn't resist.....

[J20]

LMAO....................

So Chris, what was the complete carnage list suffered by you and Tmax???

Sass:
- broke something nasty in the front winch hydraulic winch
- overheated the rear winch

Me:
- broke a tree saver
- winch stopped working with the Jeep half on the trailer
- broke my fire extinguisher mount......I put my wheel chock under the rear tire, and I have a rope that I rest inside the cab, well, I wrapped it around the handle of the extinguisher, and when the tug strap stretched, the rope didn't and pulled back on the extinguisher thus ripping it out of the mount)

Others:
- a few straps and I think another tree saver

(this doesn't take away from anyone else who helped on this recovery...)

Back to that Jeep... it sure took a beating. Glad it's out of the lake... good work to everyone involved!

I couldn't have said this any better myself.

Thanks to everyone that was there. Without everyones individual effort and equipment, straps, bent bumpers mounts, 2 12000 pound winches, 1 Mog, 1 nice bronco with a burnt winch, shackles, and tree savers we would be back again today, or the owner of the truck would be in alot of trouble and some huge huge fines. Luckily the 4x4 community like it's back yard. Great props!



Getting ready for the dip and shrinkage



Starting recovery the talking of the minds



What was the quote " I love the smell of gas in the morning"



Moving slowly



Looks like a lot of gas but was gone rather quickly



Almost there, remember winches don't like to lift vertical 3 can prove it



Sass



Chris



Was getting close then strap broke sending it back down the hill



The RCMP show up to check out the damages



He lets Steve off (owner of the jeep without fines)



Finally after 5hours of pulling I think we gots it



Pretty view except for the heap















Have video of the dragging down v- rock just have to figure out how to post




Loading onto trailer




Sass likes carnage so he rams it onto the trailer

[fish4life]

Hope the damage to the winches isn't anything too serious and they can be repaired easily

How did the RCMP officer get up to the lake? Did he hitch a ride with someone? Or did he drive one of their RCMP trucks up there???

[Flex]

He was on a quad

[SoloXxX]

Some more pics












A strap broke and we almost lost it back in the lake.













The rock under the bumper got dragged by the gas tank. this thing just plowed the trail.


It was a good day and had fun meeting some good people.
