Talk about a screw job........

Dude is an idiot and deserved it. If it would have been my land he was stuck on, he would have paid more...

I would bet the guy did something to really tick off the tow truck drivers and they decided to stick it to him in return.

So how did he break a frame on a vehicle without a frame???

'Unknowingly off-roading on private land'

Don't wheel on private property

Don't wheel alone without recovery gear

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

No kidding, I have burried my hunk of junk like that and after a good snag drove it home. I am dubious why it took a 7 man crew when a 6-pack and a couple rednecks coulda got-er-done.

If I was him, I'd say keep it.

Billing is one thing, getting $50k from a guy who drives a beater XJ is another

If it was near powerlines, I'm kinda surprised there wasn't some attempt to add something terrorism related to the tresspassing charge. As for the towing bill, considering they broke the Jeep's back (they hurt it bad, real bad), I'd just hand the the business owner the title and say we're even and go eff yourself.

Double post, somehow.....

Not sure, but they sure as hell did a number on it

 

[ehall]

Maybe the high price tag was an attempt to establish counterclaim protection against a lawsuit for the damage. Man they effed it up

I'm glad I don't see a Naxja sticker on it

I think I could pick 7 guys from this forum that could've disassembled that XJ, hand carried the parts out to the street and reassembled it in less than 12 hrs.

Probably would have done it for pizza and beer

I think you're dead on the money there too!

 

[sidriptide]

if the rig broke that badly, it's because the floors are totally non-existant and it looks like a broken leaf spring too.
my guess is they pulled him backward by the axle with a pair of big hooks and the front got hung up on something like a rogk or stump in the mud requiring a hard pull.
if you get stuck, and require a pull like this. the liability lies on you. the towing company will make you sign for the work before they do anything at all.
call an attorney to get the bill dropped down, towing company will not let it go to court for the full amount.
