Cool recovery. I love how our off road trails look like stream beds after a good rain storm. That split shackle is pretty handy. Looks like it works well. Thanks for sharing!
Born and raised in Florida, and one thing I learned right off the bat was if you're going to be offroading a good winch is a must or you will end up walking. lol.
I'm new to this channel and I how you explain your set up to winch out vehicles is a great positive for me. I'm form the UK work in woodland as my job and sometimes winching is the only option and its not all good fun. It can be tiring wet and cold and very time consuming. Good channel keep up the explanation of your winch set ups.👍 Take care and be safe.
That's what I'm talking about. You shine doing what you do. Still amazes me how good that little jeep does. I mean the winching part is simple. I'm talking about how good it performs off road pulling all of these much bigger trucks out. The winching part is simply knowing how to use your equipt. I run 50 ton tator and do things people can't believe. But I know how to rig and what my equipt can do. Keep it up. Great content.
This is down the road from my house. We ride fourwheelers out there. If there is water in the ditches better be ready in the trails and have a truck well equipped with a winch that works lol. Some of these holes go from 2ft-6ft deep! I've walked 10 miles over a similar situation when i was younger😅Now we just ride atvs, sxs out here. Good recovery though man SUBSCRIBED👍!🇺🇲🎄💰
I'm over by Live Oak, well actually Dowling Park but nobody ever heard of there. It sure did rain cats and dogs this weekend. Nice job getting him out.
It rains cats and dogs all the time in Fla. Used to visit my Grandmother in Orlando in the Summer, you could set a clock as to when it would pour down.
Nice work! I'll have to remember you guys for when we are down in Florida. We got stuck down there this past summer briefly with our camper. Fortunately, we had enough recovery gear and our winch got us out! I own Arkansas Off-Road Recovery as well so always cool to see how things are done and learn from others.
Reminds me of the days we use to head into badluck prairie and see people get stuck in the swamp mud!! GOOD OLD DAYS🤘🤘 Just a shout out from a Naples boy.
Had a friend years ago that woke up one fine morning after a bender in the bed of his truck. He had figured he was too drunk to drive so he had his equally drunk friend drive. The friend went wheeling after he passed out. Well they were parked in the middle of the Puyallup River in about 5 feet of water. They walked out, called me to bring the winch. I pulled them out and he was so pissed he fired it up and drove it home. Tranny, transfer case, both axles full of water. The real kicker was the great big muddy foot prints caving in the hood and the 1500 dollar ticket for "Parking a motorized vehicle in a salmon spawning stream" that the Fish Ranger left on the dash.
Unbelievable. Anyone who has ever rode sxs's or atvs in Osceola knows that you wouldn't take an F250 on those trails. There are trails out there where the bottom drops out and has four foot holes. Expensive lesson.
Grew up in Jax and used to go 4wheelin in my buddies 84 Jeep CJ7. Warn winch and some serious Mickey Thompson mud tires. Only got really stuck once. Wish we could have called you in 1988.
It amazes me that I see so many of the HD trucks stuck in the woods…. Why do people think it’s a good idea to bring an HD diesel into such a predicament…. Even when I owned an HD truck I rarely took it deep off roads due to all the weight.. lighter is better…. Buy a side by side or a midsized truck such as the ZR2 or Gladiator… Big trucks are not going to “power through” the muck like ya think….. I love my ZR2, can go pretty much anywhere where I need to be… On a side note, love this channel and the work that you do. I live in Ocala and may run into you guys one day. Keep up the great work!
I've hunted all over Osceola NF. In the rainy season, you had better know where you're going. A lot of trails, that will eat a truck, and often if you get in, there is nowhere to turn around. Osceola can get really bad if you don't know the place.
Matt, have you ever entertained the idea of developing a floatation system for lifting the vehicles, then just floating them out? Could be a money maker!
I just want to say hey to that dude who's telling that Ford pickup hours Jeep he made the impossible possible that's one intelligence smart son of a gun I bet he's one of the best recovery guys out there
Did I see street tires on the Ford? Every ford seems to throw shafts and axles.. I've seen this all over, in a range of conditions. Anyone out there know why this happens?
One look at that truck owner checking his water AND oil mixture with his cigarette and I knew EXACTLY why he was the owner of that truck!!!!!!☝️🤣🤣🤣! Completely explains itself without comment!!!!☝️🤣🤣🤣
Just curious. What have you done to your jeep. Lift ,tires, battery power to run winches . What engine. What about did you need to beef up the fram to move the heavy stuff?
Osceola a swamp 8-9 months out of the year, we learned that the hard way lol. Need an airboat for that place, I don't see what guys like so much about that place lol. smh
Big wide tires create more resistance in deep mud though. My full bumper and winch added 300 lbs to the front of my truck which is less than half the weight added from a diesel and even 300 lbs hurt me in deep mud and sand.
@@rockie307 if you air down they float pretty good the only time you want skinny tires is if the ground has a bottom to it. some places there is no bottom you just dig to china
@imchris5000 No substitute for weight and weight distribution though. I understand psi and such but if you add wider tires to offset the pounds per square inch of the lighter rig you just created more rolling resistance in the mud. Diesel engines hurt in the mud wider tires hurt in alot of situations as well its why the wide size tires ain't 3 peak rated for snow and ice they fail the test where the skinny tires pass.
@@rockie307 the added rolling resistance is negated by the fact that diesels have plenty of torque also its entirely area dependent florida does not get much snow. also snow tire rating is more about the traction on ice which is the reverse of everything its a hard bottom situation like I said skinny tires work but only in places with a bottom
He must’ve wanted to go hunting pretty bad That place was too wet before we had those last rounds of storms Damn sure wouldn’t be out there without a winch
It has already been argued in the comments. I will say this I do not think "stock" diesels can spin up fast enough for serious off roading in mud or sand. My little Taco 4x4 has gone places F350's could not. I have a stock drive train and 33's. Just my opinion.
I have a 6.7 power stroke with 38s’ I’ve never been Stuck my turbos are stock and my motor is stock she picks up good and doesn’t give a hint of fatigue
No slight against diesels.... I would love to own a a unicorn Ford or Chevy 4x4 F250 or 2500. It comes down to weight and length (which I did not mention) for getting into and out of places. My v6 stock Taco makes 190hp... I wish I could swap it with a more modern 3.5L ( I think 305 HP). Either way brother if you run across a old '96 white Taco stuck in the mud... pull me out!@@AxelRamirez-g1z
No way I would take my F250 out there,like some others said an older Toyota 4x4 is the truck for that.I had a 1982 Toyota with 33’s.I could go anywhere I wanted to with that old truck.
All the more reason to have a dedicated woods/ hunting truck in the woods . Not a heavyweight sreet truck. P.S. Always know when high tide comes ,its Florida man!
What makes anyone think to even try that i own a 350 and there to heavy yes with asphault under it there hard to beat but u would need full tractor tread on a truck that is built to do that sad to see a truck like that junked all for somthing like that if its more then 2 inches i wouldent even try the engine in that truck is as heavy as a small toyota
They must be close to where I hunt. We got six inches of rain in one day. I chickened out and walked the last half mile. I don't dog hunt and I'd rather not break my 83 F150 4x4.

How badass can a Gladiator be?

Florida sun has baked all there minds.
Nice work
Your should start including what the cost was for the recovery and maybe a little of why the total charge.
great video thanks for sharing
I'm amazed that out of 6 vehicles, no one had a winch. And the stuck truck has street tires on it.
Haven’t you heard
Winches are a waste of money
A strap and a ball hitch are the way of the professionals
its all about the tires good tires that self clean you can go most places
Who would have thunk that street tires would have made it that far in.
Stuck in muck you have to put constant tension and not snatch pull slow and release suction is the only way
Cats think them big ass 4 door diesels gonna go through that shit. To damn heavy
Your the MAN! have you added any engine enhancements to give you more power?
No, just exhaust gearing and axles
I had a 7.3 for a long time,2wd... I kearned real quick a 7400 pound truck can literally get stuck just looking at mud and sand...
A bunch if people came out here and broke stuff trying to get him out. Hooks up winch pulls him out lol
Winch is a great tool especially if the vehicle is dead and stuck
Diesels should only be used to tow your toys out so you can have fun in your toys.
They’re just to expensive to go muddying in
You can lead a Ford to water but you can't make it drink .

@@matt.mckinzie that was a wise decision
i do think that all diesel pickups should be 4wd but still not sure how much 4wheeling they should do with so much front end weight
you just have to match them with big wide tires so they can float a little better
Big wide tires create more resistance in deep mud though. My full bumper and winch added 300 lbs to the front of my truck which is less than half the weight added from a diesel and even 300 lbs hurt me in deep mud and sand.
