4x4 Off-Road Recovery in South Lake Tahoe, Done Right
Off-road recovery takes planning. The vehicle usually has to be winched out before it can be loaded, sometimes from a long way off the road. We plan the pull, rig to proper recovery points, and move slowly so the vehicle comes out in one piece. Some trails are too far in or too rough for a tow truck, and if so we will tell you honestly.
When to call us for 4×4 off-road recovery
- Stuck in mud, snow or sand on a dirt road
- High-centered on a rock or log
- Slid off a forest road
- A 4×4 broke down on a trail
- A lifted truck or Jeep needs a flatbed afterward
How it works
