I recovered an LC80 tonight.

[OTEP]

I pulled an LC80 whose two right tires fell into a Maynilad digging along Examiner St.

On my first pull, naputol yung automotive tow ropes ko. So I peered into the LC's cabin and saw the switches for the diff locks and turned them both on. I think the trick worked. On the second tug, it managed to get free. Btw, I did not use the steel hooks of the towrope, I just tied the rope to my pintle hook.

I think it was a USDM or ex-JDM LC80. It was definitely not local.

Turns out that the driver is a certain Mr. Cruz, President and CEO of Megabuilt films based in Pampanga. Interested din pala siya sa four wheel drives. hehehe.

Sarap talaga ng naka-4x4, you get to meet new people because of it.

Kelan ang taping natin? Teka, pagusapan pala muna talent fees! :p

Sali ko -- basta sa rape scene lang. Joke.

Otep::: sigurado kang Mr. Cruz, hindi Ms. Cruz

[OTEP]

Hehehe. Wala naman tayong hinihinging kapalit sa mga kabaitan natin, right? Sana maging matulungin tayo sa mga kapwa natin motorista lalo na if we have the means, the know-how and the equipment to help.

Of course, do not forget your own safety first and foremost.

Kung physically incapacitated yung aided vehicle, walang paraan para umandar ito at tulungan yung humihila.

Pero in the case of OTEP and the LC80, mas maganda rin yung tumutulong yung hinahatak so not to add more burden to the recovery vehicle.

in this way, dapat mahaba ang tow rope, baka sa sobrang momentum nung hinihila, mabangga yung humihila.
