Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
So, well... the second recovery of this video hit really close to home for my family and I. Rich, Jethro, and Bailey are dear to us. We moved to Utah in June of 22 not knowing what we were going to do. We lived around in the forests and public lands in our old trailer for months while i was working to find us a home. Which we have managed to find!!! 🙏
We were livin in the bush around Cedar and my dog Choop went missing. It was very emotional for us. He wasnt wearing a collar so it was up to him. We searched for 4 days. We were sitting in the RV eating dinner dreading his loss. The door was open and he jumpped inside! We all lost it! I started whaling like a baby.
First thing the next day we got him a new collar and tag. 2 days after we had him he was gone again. Now i was mad. It wasnt like him at all to do this.
We received a call from, you guessed it! Rich the bearded woodsman! Choop met Bailey the old hound dog and he was in love. Jethroe didnt seem too excited. We met up with them that afternoon and got to know eachother. Choop had even got in the red truck and gone to town with them. We were sadeded to take Choop from his new lady friend.
After we returned our boy back to camp I wanted to give Rich a gift for being so good to my buddy boy. I brought him 5 gallons of gas. Guy drives a Triton for petes sake. Figured he could use it. Seeing Matt pour a keg into that truck and watching him love up Bailey was honestly wild. IVE DONE THE SAME!
We are happy that Matt was able to help Rich God bless you guys, and if you guys read this novel, please pray for Rich and his dogs.
Thank you. That is all.
Gotta give Lizzy props for climbing in vehicle's hanging over a ledge. And Matt's always got time for his 4 legged customers. 😂😊😊
Shouldn't she opt for the seat belt in the event of rollover?
@@clintpatty She never wears one. Physics will teach her, one day.
@EatDrinkBeMerry they’ve said before in videos that in some instances a seatbelt wont matter if you begin to flip.
Matt actually wearing a jacket is hard to get used to.
Is Matt okay? That jacket is atypical.
also seeing him using a winch and walkie talkie and fuelling up.
Wrecker might be without heating and colder to sit in than the Morvair/Banana and therefore the jacket?
Yeah, is matt sick? Why the Jacket?
We all tend to get cold as we age. 🥶
Matt's narration and explanations are excellent and the video cuts and product is outstanding. Good job everyone making the channel better all the time.
Three days being stuck out there and I bet he was real happy to see you guys.
That was a charity gas run. Matt was just nice enough to pretend like the vehicle was stuck and play along and get some content.
@@JimYeats Did you even watch the video? No way could this truck get out of there without assistance 😂
@@saiverx The red Ford 4x4 with reasonable off road tires sitting on top of a patch of snow with a gentle climb ahead of it (even accounting for camera flattening)? Maybe he couldn’t….
@@JimYeats We don't know for sure of course, maybe you're right, he could've driven off. I was judging from the sun heating up the snow, I'd imagine its like driving in slush 🤷♂
@@JimYeats sure looked to me like it could have driven out of there no troubles at all. Three days stuck in there seems crazy. Drop tire pressure, shovel a tiny bit of snow by hand, drive out.
Who else came to the comments to try to figure out what the patented word was!? 🤷♂️
I love seeing Matt use the radios and the winch. It 's almost like old dogs do learn new tricks.....
Now if he'd only build some tire chains!
@@mikenorton62 Nobody in that area (including the tow trucks) know how to put on tire chains 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mikenorton62 Chains are very situational tbh, they're really meant for *ice* not snow. If you're in deep deep snow, chains can make it harder. Especially if the top layer has melted and refrozen, chains will break through that layer and get you into the deep stuff, instead of just riding on top of it.
Almost like the real reason he didn’t like winches in the past was because he had to get them out of the back and then open the hood and wire them in every time he wanted to use them😂
Radios are essential for proper communication between vehicles in remote locations where cellular service isn't available.
One of the most Beautiful things about being rescued by Matt. He goes the extra mile to make sure the rescue damage to your vehicle is minimal.
Matt gets mad props for always showing the dogs some love.
Matt's dog lover. Also, he has that dog in him.
Stop being so angry, give him great props and not be mad.
@@notnowsatan-pv6xp 😂
They are definitely living their best life. Happy dogs!
You got my comment. 😊
Matt, Tom Tom and Lizzie are the masters of sand, mud and snow recoveries. Rory excels in rockscapades, but Matt is the champs hands down for being low on gasoline.
The heavy wrecker is just plain badass. There are no other words for it. Looking forward to seeing more of it on your channel.
Imagine not knowing who Matt is, you just called a guy for offroad recovery, and he shows up in that beast. You'd know you're in Good hands
🤣 when Matt said, "I wanna see an unnecessary front dig." !!!
Thank you for pulling out the maps! I just learned something about your areas that I would have never knew if you hadn't showed it and I love to know these 'local knowledge information' Again, very happy to see and hear those things 👌👌
Lizzy again gets an A+ in being best dressed for snow recovery! Heavy Wrecker is awesome. To create such a beast from scratch with really minimal debugging for a massive project is testament to good old fashioned ingenuity and hard work. Thank You for excellent entertainment. Peace!
I 2nd that!! ✌🐢
I laughed when I saw Lizzy wearing snow gear while Matt wore his usual jeans and short sleeve shirt.
It was nice seeing the heavy wrecker being put to work. It was also really nice seeing the wrecker helping such a kind and humble older man. His pups were so sweet. There is very few options for rescue in places that isolated. MORR was a blessing for that gentleman.
Let’s Talk 👍
Thanks for watching
As someone who has spent a lot of time traveling around the southwest, I've stayed on the Arizona Strip several times, so I really appreciate this video.
I love you guys ❤!!!
Damn time travellers and their flux capacitors...
Drove through it going from the North Rim to St. George. Empty. (Well, Pipe Springs was along the way, but other than that...)
@@Backroad_Junkie Take a trip to Bundyville then you'll really see empty. Highway 59 isn't exactly empty by Strip standards
@@devion195 Empty are the interior roads of Nevada. Took NV-376 from US-6 to US-50 for a hundred miles, passed one car and one town, lol.
As many of the empty roads I've driven in Utah, Arizona and Montana, Nevada beats them all. 😁
@@Backroad_Junkie Yeah, there is not much to see on the 389, unless you venture off of it.
The cloud shadows crawling over the hills at 16:29 just made my day. Hats off to the editors!
Good MORRning everybody~ Thumbs UP to Matt and crew! 👍👀
I've watched Matt laugh for so long now I know when he's 'really' laughing and when he fakes it. This was more real laughs than usual. Genuine stuff.
Great job on the editing of the video! Love how you told the story with the extra animations! Well done!
This episode must be one of my favourites, it was so much fun to watch , and I'm a grandmother from Australia 😅
Hello my name is PJ, I'm a grandmother from Missouri. We grandmother's like a little excitement now and then too.
Read my comment i have a story obot the man and the dogs in the second half. Its a goodn.
Thank you for telling us about the Arizona Strip. I thought it was a road. Never could find it on the map.
Glad to see this went smooth and easy.
As always, customer happy and everyone was safe.
Thank you MORR!
You guys make me wanna start a shop here in ID! There's only 2 guys like you that service the mountains round here.
What part of Idaho?
@@BB-yj2rb Treasure Valley area, but specifically going up towards the Boise and West mountains. When I got stuck, there were only 2 companies willing to do things like Matt does.
Hey Matt, how about a Wrecker Olympics after action report? What did you break? What, if anything would you change? What exceeded your expectations?
Lizzy is like me before I get my morning coffee LOL.
The Wrecker made that look way too easy...
Tell Tom to wash that ear out good LOL.
...Still have & use my Yankum kinetic Rope that I purchased way back when you first started pumping out vids. The rope along with the soft shackle has been invaluable! The ability to pull out a bigger vehicle utilizing the kinetic energy is impressive!
I got a good chuckle when Tom Tom was trying to bump the mud out of his ear😂
You absolutely WERE filling the gas can correctly! ALWAYS fill the can on the ground, NEVER in your trunk or pickup box. Otherwise, you could build up static electricity which can spark and lead to an explosion.
Matt put a jacket on? ? ? Must have been absolutely freezing lol
Both of these recoveries show the value of knowing when to say when and go get help. The Tacoma in particular could have kept working at it and ended up with a much more difficult recovery and probable damage.
Absolutely. It was the right call to just stop and call for help. At that point the recovery isn't getting any cheaper and the damage isn't getting any less significant. Better off to swallow your pride and let it be an easy job to get you out 😅
@@Beandiptheredneck Yep. I've been on both ends of that tow strap... ;-)
Subscribers are almost 1.5m! Couldn't happen to nicer people.
Great recoveries and beautiful scenery!
Thank you MORR Team. Nice to see the heavy wrecker doing heavy wrecker things. Keep the awesome video's coming!
It's cool how grateful the customers always seem to be.
Love the new 4K footage and all the fancy graphics and maps! 🙂
Always good to see Lizzy so happy! Y'all are special!
The low-key shame on the customers face on the intro almost made me spit out my coffee in laughter
I really think Tom Tom adds so much to the channel.
I love watching these. You guys make it look so easy! Sometimes I kinda wish you guys had more difficult jobs to show off...I mean, I'm gonna watch em either way
Its funny, because a lot of their jobs used to be harder when all they had was the lightly modified Bannana. The same jobs now would be much easier with their upgraded fleet of vehicles.
@@wescollins7331 That's probably why the fleet got upgraded.
Nice jobs all the way around. I was wondering about the Sentra in the mud, however! But the Banana & the Morrvair got the job done. Well done everyone.
Why do I feel that Matt loves doing rescues more than anything in life?
Look at where his office is!
He loves playing with his toys
You’re right. Views are not too shabby
I'm sure he enjoyed derbying too.
It's a beautiful area. Every chance I got which was one day out of the week I spent exploring the area.
Milestar Tires seriously owes you a million dollars! I just ordered my second set for my Tacoma S.A.Swap, 38s , you're the biggest spokesman they have and because of you Matt I guarantee thousands, maybe Millions of Milestar Patagonias were sold, and after owning so many different tires from Swampers to Mickeys to BFGs etc, I gotta say I'm very satisfied with my Patagonias! 😊 Great Price, well made and designed, decent on road manners and pretty darn good offroad, and if I never seen you running them, I would have never bought them! Can't wait for my 38x13.5x17s to get here! Rims came today! So thanks for the recommendation
I just have to say that Heavy Wrecker is fricken AWESOME!
Being from Kentucky, blackberry is my favorite.. ❤ 🤘🏼🇺🇲
Let’s Talk 👍
Thanks for watching
Getting it done with the wrong tools or equipment is how stuff gets done!!!!👍👍👍
Matt (a few weeks ago): "I wouldn't say I'm dog person."
Also Matt: talking to and petting every dog he sees.
Just an FYI, Matt: being a dog person doesn't mean being a werewolf (or weredog).
Kudos to Tom for using biodegradable ear plugs! 😉
Nice to see you guys using radios!😊📡👍
Hi Jeff how are you doing. I hope your day was good. I’m Maria from Minnesota. 😊
Awesome, you guys, do a wonderful job in whatever you do.
What a team!
Just plain silly, that you spend your time locking and unlocking your hubs. With the type of vehicles you have and the type of work that you do, unlocking hubs is just not needed. 50 or 60 years ago, unlocking hubs was an option that some people would have, but did not come standard with part-time 4wd. There is improved mileage running unlocked hubs in 2WD. But that’s with normal trucks with normal tires running down paved highways. You trailer your vehicle to a dirt road. You would never see a difference in mileage driving part of the trip in 2WD with hubs unlocked compared with driving in 2WD with hubs locked. And as far as wear and tear on the drive line, with the transfer case in 2WD, there is no load on the front drive line so wear is almost nonexistent. To give you an example, my father worked 40 years in the oil refinery industry. Their part-time 4wd trunks had their hubs locked 6 months out of every year. The reason they started doing this was because the hubs that were left unlocked in winter was the weakest link.
You're wrong. Those vehicles tear up stub shafts and u joints constantly. Unlocking the hubs helps elevate this problem.
@@Person-ly6im They could only do that if the transfer case was in 4wd and or the front differential was locked. If you are using an open front differential and you have the transfer case in 2wd the is no torque load to the front drive line. No damage will occur.
Shout out to the editor. Nice job on the graphics and animation!
Matt... I'm a Utah boy, living in Kentucky. Watching your videos makes me a little homesick. Love you guys!
Great use of a map. Really helpful in understanding the area of recovery.
I know it’s what enables Matt and his crew to live their dream, but I still marvel at what possesses people to go 4 wheeling that far into the “Back-of-Beyond,” in really dicey weather……as my uncle always said: “Do what you can afford!”
Four Wheel Drive allows you to get stuck in more remote places.
@@azmax623
A winch gets you stuck in in-accessible places
A GPS let's you know where your exactly at when you get lost
Your videos are always uplifting...few companies have the dedicated staff and personnel that you have...:)
safe fueling technique is container on the ground and keep contact between the nozzle and the plastic of the fill hole, static electricity is what you want to prevent. LMAO.......
That thing is a monster. I can't wait to see it do some hard jobs
When are you going to plug the holes in the top of the wrecker cab? It could rain.
Hi Larry how are you doing. I hope your day was good. I’m Maria from Minnesota. 😊
that wrecker sure makes it easier to retrieve vehicles out of the snow
Yeah, they will only need the Bombi in the worst of snow conditions from now on
Tom reminded me of Kramer trying to get water out of his ear!🤣
Love the time-lapse view of the scenery along the way! Please always include that!
Great job Matt & Tom-Tom and the rest of the crew , always enjoy the ride along on the recovery's . keep them coming.♥♥♥.
What was the trademarked term they couldn't use for the recovery point?
I want to know that too! Lol
I don’t care how big and heavy any receiver hitch or tow point is. They are all held in with the same little 5/8 pin lol
40 years running in the Colorado back country and never forgot a set of chains, only got stuck once and the winch got us out. Lizard head, cottonwood pass, Craig, Steamboat, Flat tops, Cline tops, Montrose, Telluride 5 feet of snow and I always take a coat!!!!
BB Pass oh yeah! and for what's its worth I have never seen the scenery from the top of Engineer Peak, all I have ever seen is rain and snow!
Thanks, Editors for the map and graphics for the Arizona Strip explanation. 😊
Love seeing that you are still having fun doing what you do!
Thanks for explaining Arizona strip. And thanks to videographers for showing the road ahead.
You should call the world's largest off road wrecker. "THE MEGA"
It is sooo good 👍 to see the wrecker recovering after all the hard work you guys put in to it. Great job 👌 guys.
You keep bringing your Videos to the next level! GREAT stuff!!!
Good stuff. I know it takes a lot to go way out to do that stuff. You guys always stay positive.
I think viewers that rarely get out should recognize this guy was not dug in or in a bad spot. I say this to bring light to how easy it is to get stuck in the middle of nowhere. It’s so awesome knowing people will come get you. Thirty five years ago, that was not the case.
Especially long wheelbase trucks.
That's why you have a winch, recovery boards and shovel. With those that's no thing.
35 + years ago I carried a shovel every where I went.
Nice comment! But 35yrs ago me and my dad were coming home from wheeling and under a bridge with a river i saw a truck in the river with two guys there, i said we should help them so we pulled over put truck in 4 lo and went down into the river bed those guys spent 3 nights there after being soaked, happy we saw them, we winched the truck out of the river made sure the truck started and got to the road. we allways help out when we can. Its the Canadian way.
@@Desertquartz79 All these people going off paved roads in snow without chains seems reckless. I'm pretty sure the tow costs more than a set of chains.
My great grandmother was born in Lund. :)
Did she name it? From the looks of things there wouldn't seem to have been any other people there when she was born..
You and Paul (fab rats) should look into to cleetus mcfarland and do one of his races
I have yet to put the time aside to watch the MORR presentation of the Wrecker Games, but... to see the WLORW in action makes me smile. Can't stop smiling when I see it rolling, knowning everything it took to get it built, tested, developed, tested some more... what a neat rig. Another great vid, too. Thanks as always.
I really liked the customer in the last recovery with the two dogs (Rudy, I think he said his name was). He seemed genuinely humbled by being helped by Matt and Tom-Tom, as though he was a very independent soul getting by on his own living a hard scrabble life out there in a VERY RURAL part of America--very different from the usual customer out playing around in a 4x4 toy in their leisure time. From what I perceive of Matt through these videos, I bet he was honored to have the opportunity to lend him a hand.
Happy Friday!
As an Australian, I laughed at old mate walking around in snow in a short sleeve shirt. I'd be so loaded in clothing I'd won't be able to bend
Just a thought, could MORR have their own fuel transfer tank at the shop?
In Missouri, you are required to have a containment system if you have a certain quantity of fuel. We used to buy 1000s of gallons. Typically, it wasn't any cheaper than the gas station. Unless you are burning 100s of gallons a day, it isn't worth the hassle.
"Surely someone in the comments knows what the patented product word they edited out was."
The comments:
This channel just seems to get better each time I watch it.
85 degrees and with snow on the ground? I actually believed Tom because I've seen that temp and snow before 😅
Ah man I was hoping that guy's dogs were named Jethro and Jethrine LOL
🎉
I would think that the fuel burn while the tires are slipping would be worth having 4WD engaged, also, the braking advantages (poor man's anti-lock brakes) with 4WD engaged would be appreciated.
I dislike the unneeded wheel spin (and further erosion) 2wd creates. My hubs get locked in the instant I hit the dirt. Nothing like dropping into a 2ft deep mud hole and needed to get out and lock hubs. Used to hunt on a property and the owner made you stay in 4x anywhere even his gravel drive, if you spun one rock he would get angry.
@@thegrayhillbilly "...Nothing like dropping into a 2ft deep mud hole and needed to get out and lock hubs..." ...and drag all that unnecessary mud or snow into the cab.
Matt mentioned in another video that he gets extended life out of his transfer cases, front ball joints and front U-joints by minimizing 4wd time when possible. Those are all pretty easy to break with those massive tires and big axles.
@@gregorsamsa5524 Everything's a trade off. I suppose, unlike me occasionally being in a 4wd situation, his crew is put into that situation too often to ignore the extra wear.
@@thegrayhillbilly yeah, I do it to avoid tearing up the roads more than necessary.
But the other comment about minimizing wear and tear on a work machine like this is a pretty decent reason for staying in 2.
I think there is lots of land in Utah that could be better for houses. Could your Trails be included as part of a national park?
So we got a call
😂😂😂
Howdy Colin, sorry to hear about your cat. Praying for comfort for your family 🙏
@@JohnFL thank you. My little one had a big day at school, went on a trip to a theatre so her usual routine has been disrupted, so she hasn't actually noticed yet. Not really rehearsed what I plan to say yet. I am hoping she is still that bit too young to fully understand so isn't too much of a shock to her. Again, thank you.
We love our Lizzie! Please make her use a seatbelt on the sketchy stuff!
Keep up the good work
Stop sharing details about the Arizona strip. Its seclusion is why I go there. You should explain that it’s a boring, useless, uninteresting area and no one should visit.
You must live alone
Thank you Matt and Crew!!
Nice job, but no "Mud Fenders" for the off road wrecker...
Let’s Talk 👍
Thanks for watching
How about the name Tonka for the wrecker?
Super copyright violation using that name.
Tonka toy!
@@dps67 Probably not worth the worry but copyright law is trickier than you might think. If I get a chance to delve into this specifically I will, but I would caution against such stridency without the facts.
Don't forget the FRANK CHURCH WILDERNESS in Idaho... Absolutely nothing modern allowed. It's beautiful, very rugged, but peaceful.
Let’s Talk 👍
Thanks for watching^^
Awesome recoveries!
On fueling Jerry's, gas cans etc. always have a hand on the container before putting the nozzle in. It grounds it helping prevent the nozzle being a point of static contact.
The nozzles are grounded.
It's extremely rare for static to light petrol.
How many times has it happened to you or anyone you know?
@@bushratbeachbum statistics mean nothing to the individual.
@@bushratbeachbum A simple search on YT would net some killer results, this is common sense safety..
@Bushrat Beachbum your body caries static electricity. And its just a safety precaution. Do as you wish.
I usually touch the car before I put the nozzle in, that works too right?
Providing the location's name and showing its location on a map adds a lot to the videos, especially for those far from Hurricane. It was also nice to outline the Arizona strip on the map and state WHY it's called that. I never knew its extent or WHY it was so named despite having been there to see the north side of the Grand Canyon.
Swapping to a proper recovery point at the hitch instead of a tow ball was a smart move.
While the wrecker is most capable, its width may pose problems on some trails.
So awesome to see how the wrecker is being such an asset to y'all. All 3 offroaders seem to really be living up to expectations.
Let’s Talk 👍
Thanks for watching^^
Its a lot of work to hand build all your rigs but they definitely are purpose built machines, designed by the guys who know the terrain and how to use them
What exactly is the point of that roll cage in the Banana? To make the death by crushing slow and painful??
What exactly do you mean...?
I think the wrecker was just a bit of overkill for that recovery lol.
Let’s Talk 👍
Thanks for watching
Hi Paul how are you doing. I hope your day was good. I’m Maria from Minnesota. 😊
Why don’t you just use the pin as a connection? Why do you need to puta 5lb projectile onto the rope?
