Need to get a real driver with a shovel and recovery ramps...and back it off with a guide. I wonder if it’s a stolen vehicle

I doubt any thief would have the guts to have taken it there.

I think I read that they were in the wrong place, but had ran out of gas. They brought up more gas and drove it out of there.

If it can be drove up there, It can be drove down. The cost of a sky crane helicopter will far out weight the cost of the vehicle. I would not be surprised if the cost to use a helicopter to pick up that wrangler and take it off the mountain was in excess of $50,000.
The most cost-effective way to get it out of there may be to topple it over the side of the mountain.

You have to be some kind of stupid to try that. Why didn't they take a shovel and dig out the mountain side of the road a little to account for the width? Just WOW.
It takes a completely different mindset —and a lower appreciation for human life— to travel through some places of the developing world.

Then again, the idiot who abandoned a Jeep on top of that foot path can’t be much different.

It's not FCA's fault. They suggest to "go anywhere and do anything," not that you or your rig will return all such adventures--particularly the dangerous ones:

It doesn’t look like it’s stuck all that bad. Looks more like they ran out of gas, or needed to go grab a shovel at worst. They can drive it back down.

Maybe he went out to dig with his shovel...and is now laying unconscious at the bottom of the ravine.
