Recovering A Totaled SxS In The Middle Of Nowhere

We got a call from an insurance company to go recover a SxS out on the Hole In The Rock Trail. The people had got lost at night on the Slickrock, lost track of the road and went off into a ravine. Me and Shawn went out while Mike was on vacation to scout it and hopefully get it out. However once finding the route into it and locating it it was in the heat of the day and only getting hotter. So we decided to call it and come back another day. We turned around to head out and Trailmater broke. So using Ol Blue where we needed we got back to the trailers and loaded up. I spent the weekend working on the transfer case in Trailmater. Found out I had broke the rear output shaft. This truck has seen alot of use and abuse so I don't feel at the time we need to upgrade that. Just swapped it with another shaft I had in my spare case. Once Mike got back from vacation we decided to go in again. This time we took parts to try and fix it and drive it out. We replaced the primary clutch and belt. Once we got it back onto it's wheels we were trying to maneuver it out when the lower balljoint finished breaking and the front wheel became loose. At that point we decided to just winch it up the wall and out.
