4×4 Tahoe stuck in mud

Monday, March 17th, 2025, at 3:18 a.m. (PT), we received a request for help with an offroad recovery in California. The requester, Michael Anthony Rodriguez, submitted the following information: “Stuck in mud have 4×4 Tahoe, high center on grass/mud field. / I’m with the vehicle”

Our administrator, Al Fontan, contacted the requester and verified the contact information provided, GPS location, and current situation before sending the request to local volunteers. In this particular recovery, we contacted volunteers within a 20-mile radius.

Andy Johnson and James Barbaro from the Inland 4×4 Recovery group will be taking charge of the recovery. They’re the ones we reached out to for help. 

Although we don’t have much more detail or photos, we know they ran into some pretty difficult situations to get this vehicle free. The frame was suctioned to the ground, and they had to use other vehicles as anchors in order to get this done.

We want to thank both Andy and James for their help on this offroad recovery in California, you guys rock.
