Yesterday August 15th was a "the best day" for me as a former tow truck operator and recovery person (novice at best) My wonderful wife took me to visit tour and purchase some very much desired merch from a place I didn't think I would ever get to visit I am a huge fan of Matt's off-road recovery you tube channel have been for quite some time and now I can say I have been there. Thanks for the tour and being who you are. I didn't get to see you or meet you but Matt you are a great man and do great things for many people never change never stop and always be you thank you
Pretty cool. I made it out a couple of years back with my oldest son. Quickly got to meet Kaulin as he was headed out to the Easter Jeep Safari, where Matt was at. I was given a quick tour of the Wrecker frame and got a Lizzy lime green ball cap and Ed stickers. My son was 40 yrs old at the time and was laughing at me saying I was as giddy as a schoolgirl. Still have a smile from this experience so I can sure relate to yours. Take care.
I wish my vacation didn't get cut short. I definitely planned on going, but the kids school registration was Tuesday so we didn't get to leave until Tuesday night instead of Saturday morning. Pikes peak has been on my bucket list for ages so that took priority sadly. I did get to go to maverick and get some victory pies though so that will have to do.
Being an 80yo off-road enthusiast I truly envy Ed's position on the team, plus he's quite a guy with an interesting history. My personal request for the production department would be to overlay the date of the production on the video - this would help the audience to understand the better time of year to visit the area. I mostly watch the show on on my big screen tv which of course doesn't show comments. Thanks to all for such an entertaining show!
Good chuckle @ 6:30 .... The camera is bouncing along after the banana and you hear the faint pitter-patter of feet in the 170 degree powdered sand.... =))) Mad respect for the work and sweat bringing us this juicy content! tyvm MORR.
Its that talcum powder silt. that stuff is worse than owl sh%t, and that's really slippery. usually on a log crossing a creek. Owl Sh%t beware!!! Great rescue . Yall are good people!!!
At 10:28 you want to avoid hooking up to this part of the front frame, I did it on my sprinter the exact same way when I was stuck in the snow, I ended up completely sheering the metal on like 2 inches, I used a recovery rope but still did some damage.. At first it seems to be a good spot to attach from but once you put the vehicle on a lift you can tell it's absolutely not. Easily fixable tho. Lesson learned, I fixed it, reinforced it and added recovery points on it. For context, the back end was sitting on the frame and axle, I was parked on the edge of a boat ramp covered in snow and couldn't tell there was a ditch on the side, it was full of snow, I couldn't back up and going forward was not an option, the lake was frozen but with more snow than I could go through in 2wd. Anyway, great job, I've been watching for years, I've learned a lot about off-road driving thanks to the Morr team. Thanks for the amazing content !
Beaver Dam, Arizona was named after a beaver dam that a traveler discovered while resting at a nearby creek in 1863. When the first wagon road was established through the area in 1847, they found many beaver dams that were holding back water on the wash. No more beavers, no more water.
@@kayvte5487 The Agua Fria at Bloody Basin used to flow year round, and there was a really neat cast concrete low bridge there. I came though there in 1991 and the bridge was washed out and all broken up between 20 and 200 yards downstream. I went back in there 20 years later and no water. The rebar from that old bridge is still there. There is some sloppily poured concrete across the riverbed though. The weep spring at Crazy Creek crossing to Sheep Bridge was peeing a little water from some rain up on a mesa. That is good sign you need head for paved roads.
I loved the episode where some bros in an F350 (? Might've been F250, idk) were like "THAT'S gonna get us out?". Matt hooked the longest rope, backed the Banana up until it nearly touched the truvk, fed her onions and popped the truck out in one shot
The Saturn Vue hybrid is a pretty rare vehicle these days, especially in such good shape that one is in. The plastic body panels keep the rust away, but they still get very beat up. The last three years of Saturn operating got the Hybrid available, so the youngest possible is a 2010 model. It had nickel hydride battery back that gave it a 20% boost that got the highway mileage close to 45 at times. Nice little SUV. That one seemed to be the 2WD model. Tow points are more than a little rough to find. Nice job.
There used to be beaver dams about every quarter-mile on every stream in Utah and everywhere else west of the Rockies. Now we've realized they're important parts of the ecosystem and people are getting them back on the landscape. Slows stream flow speeds, retains water in the watershed, increases summer flow rates, creates habitat for trout and other fishies.
@@kittty2005 Or not build on flood plains.. 😂 Beavers are massively important as OP said.. part of the cause of the lowering of the water table is the lack of beavers holding the water in wetlands. Really massive help vs wildfires too.
We've been reintroducing the Eurasian beaver over here in the UK in the last decade or two, to help mitigate flooding downstream and improve biodiversity. Beaver were wiped out in the British Isles in the 16th century, so it's good to see them back... and thriving. The population is currently sitting at around 1000 across the country.
@BitBuhkit Actually, I didn't Google it. It happens to be one of the conversion formulas I've memorized, just like kilometers to miles (1=.622), millimeters to inches (25.4=1), and a few others. Most people haven't committed these conversations to memory, which therefore means it's not obvious. You, however, are so high up on your pedestal that everybody's inferior to you.
@@domin8ss lol, you come on here like a know it all, making comments to make you feel important and YOU talk about being "high up on your pedestal"? lol, too funny. I never claimed to memorize anything, and am not posting all the conversions, claiming I memorized anything. lol, you are so far lost it's hilarious!
@BitBuhkit That's funny. You can't defend a single accusation you made, so you deflect. You accuse me of being a "know-it-all," but have no idea who I really am. The conversions I posted are basic knowledge. You shouldn't need to Google them. They are so simple that you should be able to memorize them easily. The irony is, you're incredibly defensive when the person you tried to push around pushed back. I bet you're a completely different person when you step away from the keyboard. You can't be a commando in public, so you do it here. I see your fear and weakness. I'm being gentle right now. I am in person who I am online. When somebody tries to push me around I push back.
@@seanseoltoir I am sure I would probably stay in the AC. It is great to see a desert dog so smart as to stay out of the sun as much as possible. On one of the recoveries Peanut actually moved with the shade as they were righting an overturned SXS.
So enjoy watching Matt let the “Kids” do the recovery and teaching them/letting them learn. It shows a lot of patience and faith in his team. Great role model, sharing knowledge and left others grow.

Ever since that video where people pointed out Kaulin's resembelence to the dude from napolean dynamite, I've been waiting to see him in a 'vote for pedro' t shirt. Now, I think it would be awesome if he had a 'Vote for Peanut' shirt !
Matt your so OG when you go through the booth area at Sand hollow. Your like slouching back in your seat your hat kicked to the side. "Sup, that's right. I get in for free, I'm rescuing stuck vehicles."
Matt and entire crew are the best of the best followed them for years you can trust them with your life literally yes, there have been some close calls but that is part of the towing business world no changing that Rock on guys love the videos no changes needed ever lol. Thank you for your talents
Great job Jonah filming that first recovery, running after Matt up that hill in that sand/powder, well done you’ve kept to the high standard of videography on this Channel.
I just drove through Hurricane today and was able to visualize some of the recoveries you do...mad respect. I wish I could have seen the MORR crew in person!
100+F at Sand Hollow, Sand getting kicked up into the radiator, Speed just about 0 mph, Repeatedly bouncing off the rev limiter. You could fry a chicken using the oil in that turbo right now. Phew.
It's been a while since I've seen a MORR vehicle have to give it that many goes, it seems like. I love the manufactured drama. The suspence is palpable, even though I know how it will end. Great work, Team!
Love to see a 'busy week/weekend' supercut. We got a call ablut a 1,2,3,4. Weve got cur to all different crew. Cuts to hooking up each, to pulling out each vehicle, then handing out shirts.
Subtle thing OGs will recognize and not talked about often, Matt pulling away from recovering vehicles, and handing it off to his team, while training/coaching. Its been very apparent the last 8 months or so.
Earlier than that, you could see he was training Jaymie and Lizzie. I've noticed more and more that Matt leaves a recovery to his crew. (Mostly because he's on vacation, lol.)
@Backroad_Junkie I see what you're saying, but he's never handed off this ain't of work before. A little here and there. Now he's basically become James Earl Jones who sits in the passenger seat and I'm here for it.
we call that silt bull dust in Australia and it behaves more like water than dirt. if you hit it at high speed it sprays out like water, you can plane on top of it like aquaplaning and it can hide deep holes and ruts.
The beaver used to be all over the west. A keystone species for the landscape, they got removed before the buffalo even due to the beaver fur hat craze hundreds of years back. And landowners disagreeing with some of the beavers proposed changes. The land holds much less water now since the beaver and buffalo were all but removed. I eat bison instead of plain cow beef whenever I can just to help get more of them back on the land. Encouraging the market is the only viable way now. Their hoof prints help grassland species and they graze different than cows. The talk of beavers and buffalo and their benefits for the land, and how tricky it would be to get them back on the land is too long for a comment. America is still beautiful. For all of our progress, which i fully appreciate, I wish I could see the west 400 years ago.
They sky darkening with passenger pigeons, the plains thundering with the sound of bison on the move.. would be incredible. You missed wolves though. They keep coyote numbers down and keep herds moving, which is a big part in how it all worked together.
There's a town in CA called Mariposa - butterfly in Spanish. It got that name because when the first white man to go through that small valley -John C Fremont, did it, they scarred up all the monarch butterflies wintering there. He said there were so many they blotted out the sun for more than half an hour. Fremont also talked about Pyramid Lake in Nevada. He said it was teeming with 4 foot long Cutthroat trout. Those were the days - before the gold rush.
There is a secret pond in the middle of my city in the desert. I saw a beaver there and I aint telling anyone how to get there so they dont ruin the beaver's little home
YOU HAVE COME A LONG WAY YOUNG LADY / I THINK I SEEN YOU ON YOUR FIRST WEEK WORKING THERE AND IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE LOST / NOW YOUR BECOMING A PRO / AND YOU LOOK GOOD DOING IT / GOOD LUCK AND MAY GOD BLESS (I TYPE IN CAPS SO I CAN SEE I AM NOT YELLING )
Wow these two recovery's really tested the Banana in that Utah sand! That Benz never should have been out in the sand at Sand Hollow. The pickup was a tough job getting it out too. As Ed would say "we'll get em out"!
I was 16 years old when i rebuilt the top half of a motor. Cracked head, my father would give me oversight and instructions, then go back to what he was doing while i worked on it. He let me struggle and then would show me the easier way. I see Matt doing the same thing, and regardless of whether his boys (and adopted girls) keep doing this or pick a different career, this will pay off for the rest of their lives. Good job, Matt, and team for building the next generation of strong adults who overcome obstacles.
Been fooling in Florida sand all my life. Found some sand much like you alls in Oregon this summer. Stopped in 2 wheel in some sand to read a sign. Sand like this at home is nothing. But just like the sand in this video we did not move. She did come out, spinning all 4 all the way! We HAD considered looking around on some of their trails, but decided against it for this trip!
In Aftica and South America they call that super fine sand "fesh-fesh" and it has gotten the best of some of the best off road racers in the world. My opinion on southern Utah sand is that its just as bad as snow to walk in, minus the wet boots and cold feet.
Thanks for using the Tow point. Always time for safety. I work for the power company and the main thing I've learned is Time for Safety, don't deviat from your standards
Thats what makes dogs smarter than humans !!!!!!! I would put my blk lab & dutch shepherd up against 90% of the humans out there for common sence challenges. Like don't sh i t on the trail , go way off trail & poo on a bush
Canadian offroader here. I've done it to my truck and it works amazing and hasn't caused any issues for the 3 years I've had it on. Have you guys ever thought about welding on a strong hook, tow point, or even a hard shackle/D ring to your rear axle or diff for recoveries where u need the tow rope at a low angle?
Another awesome video!! The first recovery with the truck was what you get with "bull dust" LOL Thats like driving in talcum powder for sure! It can be like mud but without the water. LOL its always a good start to the day when i get to watch one of your videos!!!
Thanks for reminding me about the silt beds while racing LaRana & HDRA & FUD..and Score. See silt bed aim car.. hit silt bed.. can't see and don't stop!
Nice job on the recoveries!! The first one was pretty difficult on all that powder but you did a great job getting him out. The second was super heavy with small tires and soft sand and the last one, well, they shouldn't have taken it on the sand at all. You got them all out and made a great video. Sorry Katelynn didn't get a chance to jump in the water! LOL!!
Silt beds are the worst. I dislocated my shoulder hitting a rock under 12" of super loose silt during a dirt bike desert race. Silt beds are one of those surprising dangerous features in desert racing.
The most important thing when driving through sand is airing down.The tyers looks like at least 20 psi.10 psi ,and even as low as 5 for a short distance,will get you out of most sand traps.This and constant moving as fast as you can safely.
Seen a lot of TH-camrs kicking GoPro to the curb and switching to DJI. Crazy to see so many issues still happening with GoPro... Many LARGE TH-cam channels use the iPhone still exclusively.
Honestly the iPhone does a damn good job at filming, just lacks the audio-especially wind noise. Can even handle editing a decent length TH-cam video if you put up with the screen size/fiddly aspects of a limited software.
I live in Mississippi where we have thousands and thousands of beavers that cause all kinds of flooding of low areas and although they have their place they destroy a lot of timber and other things here so you are welcome to come and get as many of these little critters as you want. We've got more than enough to go around lol.
Yal need a 4th gen 4Runner with the 4.7 v8 for those same recoveries. They make so much more power than that jeep and and the morrvair both. They’re really really good trucks
Matt, been a fan for about 5 years and have not missed an episode. Re the Sprinter - it was not in four wheel drive. It could have made that tow a lot easier. Even though it has no lockers it would have helped a lot more had it been in 4wheel drive. Love watching especially when you work with your sons. So awesome.
Ports on the front bumper are notoriously bad, and also unscrew. Half the time the adapter is missing. As a tow operator, I was taught to never use them.
I have to wonder if the TC System was not turned off. It looked like the van’s tires were kinda dragging across the sand. I did see it wheel hop one time other than that it was more like dead weight
I would never own a Mercedes unless i was stupid rich & a wanta be yuppie . These new vehicles are useless off roading & people by design are getting dumber .
Learned minimum of 2 things-one I sorta already knew. 1) Not all vehicles should be driven on sand and if you do-"DON'T STOP". 2) If you are going on the sand, don't do it after buying new tires. Matt, perhaps you can find some tires that aren't as aggressive.
Tell Matt it’s named for Beaver Dam Wash. The wash is fed by Beaver Dam Creek. It flows into Arizona from the mountains to the northwest - on the Nevada border, above Motoqua. Beautiful mountain stream. Many beaver; like the stars in the sky.
Sand gets pretty sugary in hot dry climate. The way you drive through that is simply tread on and not sift that sand. Smooth ribbed balloons get you over that terrain. Aggressive tires just cut through and just suck you down. Silt or powder dirt is a trap in this heat . Avoid flood beds at all costs in the summer.
Hindsight beforehand sure would be a great help in the off-road towing business. In the real world though, working with limited information and bringing but one rig...you just have to "run what you brung". And get clever quick.
@@geraldhenrickson7472 retired border patrol and oil field security engineer here. My formen drive all sorts of rigs in that unforgiving terrain. In 20 years of service they taught me a bunch. Mud salt Marsh flood beds dunes all of it. And we had to work no man's land only in the clear days in 140f blistering heat. We recovered some heavy rigs in my day. My buffed up grandson of a samurai the jimny was the best. Light nimble and has the lockers n transfer case well done aftermarket. I watch Matt just cos it brings back sweet memories but I learn a ton even at my age.
I was on vacation and finally got to stop at a maverick and get some of those JJs pies! They had Boston cream, chocolate, and cherry. Sold out of the apple but I'm excited to try them!!
If the tires do not get aired back up properly and there is an incident, the tow company can be held liable. Once the tow company shows up, the vehicle stays as is. The tow company use their skill and equipment to get the job done.
my old cj7 never had a problem snatching people out of a mudhole, had to stop when the rear frame piece had to replaced from so many people being pulled out, either you can drive or you pretend like you can drive.
Could you guys possibly cut the sides out of a large inner-tube and wrap it around the new tires to provide better traction in the sand? I don't know if it would be possible or if it would stay in place once on there but it might be worth a shot. If it works just have them manufactured for it and call them Matt's Sand Slippers!

He just grunts out commands

You guys are awesome for helping out the second man,you didn’t need too.much respect !❤
Subtle thing OGs will recognize and not talked about often, Matt pulling away from recovering vehicles, and handing it off to his team, while training/coaching. Its been very apparent the last 8 months or so.
and whenever he IS exerting himself, he's huffing and puffing.
He's teaching the next generation.
Earlier than that, you could see he was training Jaymie and Lizzie.
I've noticed more and more that Matt leaves a recovery to his crew. (Mostly because he's on vacation, lol.)
@fartzinacan yep. I'd argue every generation for those watching.
@Backroad_Junkie I see what you're saying, but he's never handed off this ain't of work before. A little here and there. Now he's basically become James Earl Jones who sits in the passenger seat and I'm here for it.
we call that silt bull dust in Australia and it behaves more like water than dirt. if you hit it at high speed it sprays out like water, you can plane on top of it like aquaplaning and it can hide deep holes and ruts.
The beaver used to be all over the west. A keystone species for the landscape, they got removed before the buffalo even due to the beaver fur hat craze hundreds of years back. And landowners disagreeing with some of the beavers proposed changes. The land holds much less water now since the beaver and buffalo were all but removed. I eat bison instead of plain cow beef whenever I can just to help get more of them back on the land. Encouraging the market is the only viable way now. Their hoof prints help grassland species and they graze different than cows. The talk of beavers and buffalo and their benefits for the land, and how tricky it would be to get them back on the land is too long for a comment. America is still beautiful. For all of our progress, which i fully appreciate, I wish I could see the west 400 years ago.
They sky darkening with passenger pigeons, the plains thundering with the sound of bison on the move.. would be incredible.
You missed wolves though. They keep coyote numbers down and keep herds moving, which is a big part in how it all worked together.
There's a town in CA called Mariposa - butterfly in Spanish. It got that name because when the first white man to go through that small valley -John C Fremont, did it, they scarred up all the monarch butterflies wintering there. He said there were so many they blotted out the sun for more than half an hour.
Fremont also talked about Pyramid Lake in Nevada. He said it was teeming with 4 foot long Cutthroat trout.
Those were the days - before the gold rush.
A bot allready copied your comment.
There is a secret pond in the middle of my city in the desert. I saw a beaver there and I aint telling anyone how to get there so they dont ruin the beaver's little home
Cool recovery..👍
That dessert sand is crazy. Learning alot watching the recoveries out there.
These were some heros, the pros helped the little guy. Thankyou again guys we love yall.
Katlyn, @7:10.. didn’t any1 ever tell you , “do not pick up any hitchhiker”…? Lol! I love the way y’all work well together.
Hearing the "pitter-pat" of Jonah's feet while chasing Matt in the customers truck had me laughing.
YOU HAVE COME A LONG WAY YOUNG LADY / I THINK I SEEN YOU ON YOUR FIRST WEEK WORKING THERE AND IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE LOST / NOW YOUR BECOMING A PRO / AND YOU LOOK GOOD DOING IT / GOOD LUCK AND MAY GOD BLESS (I TYPE IN CAPS SO I CAN SEE I AM NOT YELLING )
Wow these two recovery's really tested the Banana in that Utah sand! That Benz never should have been out in the sand at Sand Hollow. The pickup was a tough job getting it out too. As Ed would say "we'll get em out"!
I’ve driven past Sand Hollow, but never been brave enough to drive onto the beach. It just seems too likely to turn into a camping trip 😂
*recoveries*
I was 16 years old when i rebuilt the top half of a motor. Cracked head, my father would give me oversight and instructions, then go back to what he was doing while i worked on it. He let me struggle and then would show me the easier way.
I see Matt doing the same thing, and regardless of whether his boys (and adopted girls) keep doing this or pick a different career, this will pay off for the rest of their lives.
Good job, Matt, and team for building the next generation of strong adults who overcome obstacles.
Been fooling in Florida sand all my life. Found some sand much like you alls in Oregon this summer. Stopped in 2 wheel in some sand to read a sign. Sand like this at home is nothing. But just like the sand in this video we did not move. She did come out, spinning all 4 all the way! We HAD considered looking around on some of their trails, but decided against it for this trip!
In Aftica and South America they call that super fine sand "fesh-fesh" and it has gotten the best of some of the best off road racers in the world.
My opinion on southern Utah sand is that its just as bad as snow to walk in, minus the wet boots and cold feet.
Thanks for using the Tow point. Always time for safety. I work for the power company and the main thing I've learned is Time for Safety, don't deviat from your standards
Hello Kaulin who reads Comments !! Here’s a good one for ya to read, keep up the awesome work & Light of God you all shine out there !
So nice to see a more diffcult recovery using the kinetic rope!!! Been a while I feels been so much simple or winch work :)
Peanut’s ability to find the smallest sliver of shade always cracks me.
Thats what makes dogs smarter than humans !!!!!!! I would put my blk lab & dutch shepherd up against 90% of the humans out there for common sence challenges. Like don't sh i t on the trail , go way off trail & poo on a bush
Jeeps are great for rescue, and recovery. You just gotta know what you’re doing with them. We do hundreds with our Jeeps.
Canadian offroader here. I've done it to my truck and it works amazing and hasn't caused any issues for the 3 years I've had it on. Have you guys ever thought about welding on a strong hook, tow point, or even a hard shackle/D ring to your rear axle or diff for recoveries where u need the tow rope at a low angle?
Another awesome video!! The first recovery with the truck was what you get with "bull dust" LOL Thats like driving in talcum powder for sure! It can be like mud but without the water. LOL
its always a good start to the day when i get to watch one of your videos!!!
Thanks for reminding me about the silt beds while racing LaRana & HDRA & FUD..and Score. See silt bed aim car.. hit silt bed.. can't see and don't stop!
1:57 Do not recall hearing any detail about this vehicle panel customization. 😳
I noticed that too. What happened to the banana?
Nice job on the recoveries!! The first one was pretty difficult on all that powder but you did a great job getting him out. The second was super heavy with small tires and soft sand and the last one, well, they shouldn't have taken it on the sand at all. You got them all out and made a great video. Sorry Katelynn didn't get a chance to jump in the water! LOL!!
Silt beds are the worst. I dislocated my shoulder hitting a rock under 12" of super loose silt during a dirt bike desert race. Silt beds are one of those surprising dangerous features in desert racing.
The most important thing when driving through sand is airing down.The tyers looks like at least 20 psi.10 psi ,and even as low as 5 for a short distance,will get you out of most sand traps.This and constant moving as fast as you can safely.
Seen a lot of TH-camrs kicking GoPro to the curb and switching to DJI.
Crazy to see so many issues still happening with GoPro...
Many LARGE TH-cam channels use the iPhone still exclusively.
Good audio is more important than a good camera. I still use my cell phone camera but bought a nice set of Rode wireless mics.
GoPro are good until they get hot.
iPhone, lol!
Honestly the iPhone does a damn good job at filming, just lacks the audio-especially wind noise. Can even handle editing a decent length TH-cam video if you put up with the screen size/fiddly aspects of a limited software.
@@major__kong😂
I live in Mississippi where we have thousands and thousands of beavers that cause all kinds of flooding of low areas and although they have their place they destroy a lot of timber and other things here so you are welcome to come and get as many of these little critters as you want. We've got more than enough to go around lol.
Looks like a crunched rear panel at the 1:57 mark. Is there a story there?
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
"Are you silly. I'm still gonna send it!" - I liked you guys before, but now I LOVE YOU!
Yahoo! A good recovery video! Thanks guys
Matt you’re one hell of A driver
Nice work guys
I wonder if snow socks would be good on sand. Since they are basically bold and might help with floating on top of the sand and dig less.
Great job Matt love seeing recoveries. Thanks
Wow that was a learning crib of a day 👍
Yal need a 4th gen 4Runner with the 4.7 v8 for those same recoveries. They make so much more power than that jeep and and the morrvair both. They’re really really good trucks
15:40 big rig tiny horn🎷
Haha, matched with those tires and it's a complete package
Matt, been a fan for about 5 years and have not missed an episode. Re the Sprinter - it was not in four wheel drive. It could have made that tow a lot easier. Even though it has no lockers it would have helped a lot more had it been in 4wheel drive. Love watching especially when you work with your sons. So awesome.
Matt, just for future reference. Those vans have a tow hook in a box under the passenger side floor mat. Screws into port on front bumper.
Ports on the front bumper are notoriously bad, and also unscrew. Half the time the adapter is missing. As a tow operator, I was taught to never use them.
I have to wonder if the TC System was not turned off. It looked like the van’s tires were kinda dragging across the sand. I did see it wheel hop one time other than that it was more like dead weight
@@sterlingnewsome9714 I know on the previous generation of Sprinters there's a button to turn off TCS, but how do you do it on the one in the video?
I would never own a Mercedes unless i was stupid rich & a wanta be yuppie . These new vehicles are useless off roading & people by design are getting dumber .
I haven't heard that sound bed in so long! Pretty good two step song.
Oh no! Someone hit the right rear fender. Robbie will have a Coronary!!!!
Yup , seen that as well !
I was just thinking that too. I was like “when did that happen!?” 🤦🏽♂️🤣☠️
@@stevenflores3318Glad to know I wasn't the only one who was missing something. I don't remember that happening - at least not recently.
@@russellhltn1396 they’ve must not finished editing THAT episode. 😜
It was built to work and pulling dents is Robbie's bread and butter.. Don't think he'll care really.
I learned some stuff today as well. Thanks for sharing.
Another Wednesday recovery. You all work hard and have fun doing it.
Learned minimum of 2 things-one I sorta already knew. 1) Not all vehicles should be driven on sand and if you do-"DON'T STOP". 2) If you are going on the sand, don't do it after buying new tires. Matt, perhaps you can find some tires that aren't as aggressive.
That offset steering wheel on the banana would drive me bananas
That is bananas!
Hydro assist, it will never be straight
Tell Matt it’s named for Beaver Dam Wash. The wash is fed by Beaver Dam Creek. It flows into Arizona from the mountains to the northwest - on the Nevada border, above Motoqua. Beautiful mountain stream. Many beaver; like the stars in the sky.
The camera guys are always the most physically fit of the bunch!
Loving the energy of the new camera swinger! I want to see more of him!
Good morning crew!
It’s crazy! My cat loves to watch Matt’s off-road recovery. She loves Matt & the banana
4 young kids and great shape 👏
The part in the silt reminded me to change my air filter on my Gladddy lol, thanks for the motivation!
With the right conditions. The Banana does struggle. Good job getting it out.
Do you ever use any sand mats to float the tires on in the soft sand or in muddy sand ?
Versions of the tracks on the
Sand gets pretty sugary in hot dry climate. The way you drive through that is simply tread on and not sift that sand. Smooth ribbed balloons get you over that terrain. Aggressive tires just cut through and just suck you down. Silt or powder dirt is a trap in this heat . Avoid flood beds at all costs in the summer.
Hindsight beforehand sure would be a great help in the off-road towing business. In the real world though, working with limited information and bringing but one rig...you just have to "run what you brung". And get clever quick.
@@geraldhenrickson7472 retired border patrol and oil field security engineer here. My formen drive all sorts of rigs in that unforgiving terrain. In 20 years of service they taught me a bunch. Mud salt Marsh flood beds dunes all of it. And we had to work no man's land only in the clear days in 140f blistering heat. We recovered some heavy rigs in my day. My buffed up grandson of a samurai the jimny was the best. Light nimble and has the lockers n transfer case well done aftermarket. I watch Matt just cos it brings back sweet memories but I learn a ton even at my age.
Great as always. Thanks for sharing
Telling dad not to run over the rope. 🤣🤣
That sand up in the hills was something else. Great job!
I'm actually impressed that guy with the big van made it to where he was lol.
He probably did it in the evening or in the morning when the sand was cooler.
@jeffomalley100 heading downhill is way easier then coming up the hill
@@gtaap0c lol true true
I was on vacation and finally got to stop at a maverick and get some of those JJs pies! They had Boston cream, chocolate, and cherry. Sold out of the apple but I'm excited to try them!!
On the silver Chevrolet truck, airing down the tires would have helped alot.
They once said they try to avoid alter vehichles of they can help it, including something as innocuous as tire PSI.
He should have bought the ZR2
If the tires do not get aired back up properly and there is an incident, the tow company can be held liable. Once the tow company shows up, the vehicle stays as is. The tow company use their skill and equipment to get the job done.
I rarely see a tow company do that, probably due to the time involved and/or liability issues. That being said, perhaps the owner tried that already?
It would have helped on all of the recoveries.
Love the box of match ammo in the dash lol 🤫
I never see you deflating tyers while driving in soft sand. But that makes all of a difference.
They have to promote drama.
Yeah, that’s probably the case. But would make sense to teach people to avoid getting stuck or getting unstuck. However….
my old cj7 never had a problem snatching people out of a mudhole, had to stop when the rear frame piece had to replaced from so many people being pulled out, either you can drive or you pretend like you can drive.
Could you guys possibly cut the sides out of a large inner-tube and wrap it around the new tires to provide better traction in the sand? I don't know if it would be possible or if it would stay in place once on there but it might be worth a shot. If it works just have them manufactured for it and call them Matt's Sand Slippers!
I absolutely love the black wheels on the Banana. it looks so sick.
