►This week on the Yippie Cayenne build, Ben calls in the help of some Colorado locals to help pull the Cayenne out of the woods. When we last left off, the Yippie Cayenne had seen better days. The trip through the river had drawn a significant amount of water into the engine, flooding it halfway through. Ben had no choice but to leave it in the woods with some strangers to catch his flight back to Connecticut. After landing, he reached out to a local Colorado off-roading Facebook group and was lucky enough to have several volunteers offer to help recover the stranded tank. Hopping back on a plane to Colorado the following day, Ben met his armed forces volunteers less than twenty-four hours after contacting them, immediately setting off into the wilderness.

It was all smiles as they reached the Cayenne to find it was left entirely intact. With time on their hands, Ben and his rescuers attempted to get the Cayenne fired up—after all, what more damage could they do to a potentially hydro-locked engine. The team pulled the spark plugs and were able to turn the twin-turbo V8 over by hand before hooking up a new battery and watching it turn over on the starter. Success? Not quite. The once snarling engine coughed up most of the water out of its system but couldn’t pass it all before a bent connecting rod locked it up for good. No matter, there were enough Jeeps and Toyotas to drag the 4700lb tank out to civilization. How hard could that be?

The Cayenne’s weight necessitated a four-car chain to navigate up, down, and around the obstacles between the river and trailhead. As if that wasn’t already enough of a challenge, the Cayenne’s front airbag suspension had deflated, significantly reducing front ground clearance, and Ben had little control over the brakes with no vacuum or ABS assistance. Daylight quickly turned into night and the early hours of the morning. Did the boys get the Cayenne out, and what shape is the Cayenne in? Watch episode five and see for yourself!
