Yesterday we got a call for a Tacoma stuck in the snow on FS325 about a half mile in. Customer said he thinks the CV is broken but can’t tell because the tire is buried in a drift after he hit a hidden log.

I dispatched Middle Beast since I was on a job in Limon.

After arriving and removing vehicle from the drift it was verified that the CV along with upper ball joint went on vacation.

The vehicle was pulled/ winched to the intersection of 300/325 with the plan on getting a tow truck to pick it up.

I had got back from Limon and headed to to assist just as the were heading out. We decided that with the predicted snow accumulation from the storm that was underway, we would pull the vehicle out to 322 where it would be a lot easier for said tow truck to get to, which would save the customer a ton of cash.

After strapping the tire to the a arm we pulled the broken Yota thru the snow and over the ice to what had been gravel at 322. By the time we arrived there was around 4″ of fresh snow on what was dry road. Loaded the truck on the waiting flatbed and the customer was on his way.
