A while back I noticed there were a few phone numbers listed in a thread here for folks to call for an emergency rescue effort. Not having a cell phone at the time, I didn't think to copy them down. Now that I've joined the 20th century :) and got myself a phone, I went looking for those numbers but can't seem to find them.
Did that thread disappear, or am I just not looking in the right places?

Not shure what or who you mean????
More info please?

There was a list a few years back, If it still exists the numbers have probably changed, and if my memory serves me right, several of those people have moved along now

If you get your Jeep stuck and need a tug, don't call those numbers for help.

Here's probably the most updated list. I think it was last year that I contacted those people and asked if they still care to be involved.
I'll confirm once again that all phone numbers are recent.
None of those people are CJA members to my knowledge.
If you care to pin this list for emergency contacts, feel free to do so but you may want to rename it for a more general group and not just CJA rescue contacts..
To confirm what has already been stated though.
This isn't your own personal come pull my truck out of the mud list of people. Stuck truck...phone friends.

My take on this is.
1) Never wheel alone.
2) You and you wheeling friends should have enough equipment to pull you out of the hole if not, don’t go out.
3) If you have enough equipment to pull someone out, you should have enough to drag someone to the road where a tow truck can get you.
4) If you are broken bad enough that you need to go get parts then the people you are with can take you out and bring you back. Help get you fixed enough to get you to the road. And possibly drag you out.
