- We got a call for a CF moto side by side that had a broken A-arm.
Unfortunately, the Jeep still had a broken U joint!
We found the C.f. Moto, and after a little struggle got it loaded.
On the way out we weren't paying attention and crossed the trail we wanted.
We got it delivered to where it goes, and the dogs got to play in the lake!

Thanks for watching!
One of the things that make your channel worthwhile. You are open and genuine. You run into a difficult situation and you can show a little frustration without losing your cool. And you don't mind working a little harder to accomplish your task. Thanks for the great videos!
It's a slice of life. I feel honoured being part of even the bad days. It feels like family...
I'll second that, it's a real joy to be part of all you do, and yes it does feel like family.
Thanks for sharing brother! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁
I feel the same. Good people. Matt reminds me of the brother I just lost to cancer.
@@jimepperson2075 I'm so sorry for your loss and glad Matt reminds you of him :) your brother must have been pretty darn epic!
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery When are you getting a Landscaper type of ramp for the Side x Side recoveries? This is painful to watch. 75%- ish - Plus of your SxS's have broken suspension, wheel off, flats. A hinged landscape ramp doubles as securement keeping recoveries from falling off the back of the trailer. Being a pro is constant improvement. Ramp should be broken suspension friendly- snag averse .. not mesh.
“Well it happens!” Graceful as always.
That'll be on the next t-shirt!
I enjoy his positive energy
Very Buddhist
“I’ve gotta come up with one of those, um.... plans” definitely had that kind of moment before lol. Take a breather and think it out!
I reverted to the A Team plans.
An Engineer I worked with in the 90's had a saying --- "If the minimum wasn't good enough it wouldn't be the minimum" ;)
I am stealing this haha! Good one!
Every pilot that has taken there FAA checkride for various licenses and ratings is a deeply familiar with this logic.
Nice Quote
He probably said was good enough
How you remain calm, cool and (mostly!) collected when issues like these arise is certainly commendable! Maybe it has something to do with being on camera, but that seems unlikely... Good on ya, Matt! Love the channel & hope to run into ya someday when I'm in the area...but not because I need a rescue!
Matt, I second the comment about your cool headedness. You are definitely calm under pressure.
I remember as a kid in the early 80's coming home from Denver over Berthoud Pass when our Jeep CJ-7 broke a rear drive-shaft u-joint. Mom was in a panic (groceries getting warm) while Dad casually got under the Jeep w/ his small tool bag and came out w/ the driveshaft. Locked the front hubs and we had a front-wheel drive Jeep for a week or two.
A friend did something like that with a Toyota.. except when he drove off in fwd.. the rear wheel came off and flew into a ravine never to be seen again.
I was going with my mother to our cabin, car packed full of stuff, food and two cats. Then i noticed that right rear tire was flat. She panicked like it was the End of the World even after i took out my 12V compressor. Pumped the tire to 2 bar every 20km and when we departed a store on the way, we managed to get us there without more problems.
Because flat towing our ‘66 Bronco damaged the Dana transfer case we took the rear driveline out every time WE hooked it up behind the camper. Locked the hubs and drove in FWD until it was convenient to reinstall it and use 4WD. I really miss having locking hubs on my JK.
i have a CJ-7 just put a water pump in it ,, love taking off the doors and driving it around ,,
Craig Knights yea c clips
That look you gave Randy at 11:55 had me cracking up. I don't think he can physically stop himself from helping out instead of just standing there watching you struggle.
100% agreed !!
It’s nice to show a little humility every once in a while. If everything went the way everybody planned all the time you wouldn’t be working. You did good under the circumstances. Enjoy the TH-cam shows.
Do you ever worry about max and lady getting snake bit?
Bill Heath was just gonna ask that! :)
He didn't plan so I think it went well haha
Hey Matt! Awesome video! I think the “off day” you had was actually not too shabby for a video. It just shows that not everything goes according to plan every single time. Side note, I think it’d be a cool video idea if you maybe explained some of your struggles of running a TH-cam channel. I think it’d be an interesting perspective hearing it from someone who isn’t a career TH-cam person. (Career TH-cam person being someone who does videos every single day and relies on TH-cam for an income)
Max and Lady are livin' the good life.
I loved how they found that bit of shade to lay in while Matt was loading. It makes you think they deserved that wee swim at the end, even if it made the Jeep smell like a swamp on the drive home.
I worry about Max and Lady when I watch these videos but I cannot stop watching.
Max and Lady are amazing. It looks like Matt drops them off and drives for what seems like miles and the next thing you know, there they are, right back with him.
@@incacolagirl1450 I'm always looking out for coyotes to get after them. They are sneaky
@@TrevorDennis100 Max was like "Matt, dude, that was my shade that you just ruined" every time Matt pulled the side-by-side a bit further onto the trailer.
As Ed says: “It wasn’t easy, but we got it done” 😎🇺🇸👍
I’m sure running a TH-cam channel and a business at the same time is extra (fill in the blank...hard, frustrating, etc) but I just found this channel and it has some golden content. So for what it’s worth, I just subscribed and I’m already looking forward to more videos. I know nothing of off roading or recovery but it’s cool to watch.
-Dave from Southern CT
so i. not the only one who has no clue what kicking the hubs means😁😁
Yes it is feels like family...and when you have no family, watching Matt and family is fun!
Even a PRO like you has to have a bad one now and then. You have a great attitude though and that is 90% of the battle. Nothing seems to rattle you.It may not have been smooth but the end results are all that matters. Good job.
The one thing I enjoy while watching these is that you never get mad or discouraged. Personally I would get frustrated and angry when dealing with some of the situations you encounter!
haha your dog Max just decides to lay down in the shade that's about to move :P
Matt if I didn't have the sound on I would have thought you planned everything out perfectly. The way you loaded and unloaded the side by side. When you have a wheel at that angle it's always a challenge. I'm 79 and the bad days never seem to go away. Good job and thanks for the adventures. I don't have what you call a bucket list, at my age, but coming to Hurricane and meeting you and the crew is something I am definitely going to do.
We've all had those days. I've been around for 56 years, it's a part of life and hopefully, we learn from it
Get back to me when you're 73. Ha, ha !
@@williambranham6249 🤣🤣
Being 56 is substantially similar to being 35 with 20 years experience .
You never have off days. You just learn new ways of how not to do something.✌🏻👍
I appreciate that you allow your humanity shine brightly. I can't believe how many times I've felt "I've done that" come to mind. I haul all sorts of things underground and have had those off days. Thanks Matt.
Nobody was physically hurt so not such a bad day. Nice to see Lady lead the way and then find water, good dogs. Stay safe and healthy! Having a good man like Ed there does a lot more than provide a helping hand, it makes everything easier. He knows what you are doing before you do sometimes. It would be great to sit down and listen to his life story, a big steak, cold beer, fire pit and listen to his life.
Yep. Everybody has those days.
It was his turn
Red Rider7 I was going to say the same thing about myself! Hahahaha 👍
"It dented your box." "That's not damage." Had me laughing so much.
That reminds me of a trail ride. I was directing a guy through some mud who was new to the whole experience. Later on one of the other trail guides started laughing about what I said at that time to the driver as he told it to someone else who wasn't there. I actually didn't remember saying it at all, but, apparently, I told the driver, as he is trying to get through this rutted muddy trail, "Don't worry about all those sounds under the Jeep, those are just noises." lol.
@@l337pwnage And a Harley mechanic would say, Those aren't noise, those are just sounds. Differing perspectives!!
Max & Lady weren't concerned... Their faith in Matt never wavers.... Besides we all knew you had this, even on a bad day....!!!! Good job 👍👍
I DIDNT AGREE WITH YOU MATT...MY WAY OF LOOKING AT WHAT YOU DID IN LOADING IT..WAS A GREAT JOB ALL BY UR LONESOME..& ..THE WINNING ASPECT WAS THAT IT DID "NOT" FALL OFF OF THE RAMPS...IT DID FALL OFF UNLOADING BUT NO DAMAGE HAPPENED..THATS A WIN WIN SITUATION IN MY BOOKS..
MATT..A TILT TRAILER CAN BE ACOPLISHED BY HINGING THE HITCH TUBE NEAR TO THE DECK OF THE TRAILER..OR EVEN JUST IN UNDER THE DECK AT FRONT...THEN BLOCK THE TRAILER WHEELS & REMOVE THE LOCKING PIN..& ... BACK UP UR TOW VEHICLE...( THATS A SIMPLE WAY WITH OUT ADDING ANY MORE WIEGHT ) BUT YOU MITE WANT TO ADD A PIECE OF CHANEL IRON UNDER THE HINGE AREA..BACK A FOOT & AHEAD A FOOT...SOME SUCH THING TO AIDE SIDEWAYS STRENGTH...HOPE YOU GET MY DRIFT HERE...
Takes a Real man to overcome his off days, nothing else got broke, no one was hurt, thats success in the face of adversity. Good Stuff Matt!
Another life lesson by Matt "Stuff happens" but I know it "hurts a bit" so we take no joy in a "broken Banana". "She is a right fine vessel she is Matey, and gone a long league or two over the seas!".
Bob Jarrard
That sucks breaking the jeep but I guess it happens. Love the video.
Always love Randy. All that chuckling keeps thing light!
“Well, at least nothing got damaged”
“Your box got damaged”
Matt: “That’s not damage”
Dead, love these guys. - From a Native Utahn.
Wow! Yellow bananna has been indestructible till now...first a long arm failure, Air Con, now broken U-joints and a cooling fan! Looks like it's calling out for some TLC ahead of a hot summer! Keep up the great work, Matt!
Another great video, just the bit of light relief I needed.
I reckons you need to replace that relay and it's base, the connections in the base are failing and the relay has hours on it.
Those side by sides are a problem to load when they are broken.
But fetching them pays the bills.
Keep the great content coming, it keeps us sane.
Exactly, those electric fans usually has quite a current draw, wich puts stress on connectors and relays.
("Hi, I'm")Randy's giggle - comedy gold. Matt, you looked discomfited by your off day, but still maintained your grace and humour - mark of a decent man; I salute you.
I’ve never been so early to a video on TH-cam. Not surprised because this channel rocks.
Thanks for posting, just one of those days. We all have those days, take a deep breath and continue on. The only real problem I see is how beautiful it looks out there. It makes me want to leave work and come enjoy the sites, sounds and feel the water lapping at my feet.
Idk why but “We’ll be locking the hub in today” made me laugh real good
Good job with all the difficulties!! Glad to be part of your escapades!! Lol. I used to do some mud hole and snowy mountain recoveries as part of the all Jeep CJ club we had here in PA. Flood City 4 Wheelers. Calls late at night, during storms or on a sunny day!! Always ready to go pull out a friend. I enjoyed every minute of it, and I relive it watching you.
Thanks, Matt.
My heart skipped a beat or two when that atv rolled back towards the jeep. 12:13
Mine too! Totally wasn't thinking about the box. That box definitely stopped a disaster, and talk about lucky that the hitch hit the storage box instead of the winch!
Even your off days are amazing. I love how happy your dogs are.
My day has been made!!! 👍🏻🇺🇸 Much love from Wyoming!!
Harbor freight tools sells a wireless winch remote, 50 foot range, so you can steer the vehicle while winching, makes things much easier!
We always enjoy your videos, living here in rainy Seattle, makes us want a dryer climate for sure!
Those two dogs have to be the healthiest and happyist pups in Utah!
Ya know, a tilt-bed isn't a half-bad idea, Matt.
'I might be having an off day". Truer words were never spoken. I too (and many others) have had them!
Dent in the box. "That's not damage" lol. Attitude of someone who uses his equipment for work and not play.
Gotta love those days. Makes the rest that much easier. I love watching Lady and Max run and play in the water. Good dogs.
Was just looking at the video when I visited you in December and when we went to Top of the World 🌎 Such a beautiful place!
Great little XJ to the rescue!
Even on off-days 🤣❤️🐞
I worked with a guy that used to say " One day the dog, One day the hydrant ". I'm right there along with you Matt. Improvise and overcome.
Your a cool guy! Love the channel.
You are never lost if you know where you are, even if it isn't where you want to be at that time.
"It happens." Words to live by.
Happens, sometimes the most "routine" jobs are the hardest in all fields as we don't give it the attention it deserves.
Thanks for uploading it.
Everything would’ve been fine if Ed was there
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery And bring a supply of M&M's
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery could you install a remote control on the winch to give you a free hand to steer with ,,,?? you made back with the load another fine job ,,
@@randytravis3998 he was using a remote on the winch.. i think he was being cautious and maintaining the position by the wheel well where it is safest if the cable snaps or the vehicle moves unexpectedly... he can always hug the wheel and go under the trailer if it tries to flip off or if the cable snaps.
@@sheldonrunkey6160 I ment a hand controller like a key fob. The wire one limits his range .. A budy has one can be in the car steering and brakes while doing the control.. Makes life easy no wires to snag..
@@randytravis3998 you mean a "wireless receiver" that doesn't have a cord and relies on batteries? I think the obvious is they are unreliable and with continuous use would be extremely expensive for someone like him to replace batteries. Even if they were rechargeable.
I like that chucklin wise ass side kick of yours. Keep up the good work guys!
I think you need a solid ramp for these broken side by side recoveries. Or carry a sheet of plywood it can scrape up on it's way in.
Notice how the side by side is on the trailer with the ramps he has......
Bad days suck! Randy has done another fine job of filming and the ending using the drone was beautiful!
I had this video playing while my so was in the room. I said, "There's Max," and I realized that I've kinda adopted Matt's off-road recovery. Along with Max, Lady and Peanut are really enjoyable to watch.
This channel makes me want to visit Utah and go to Sand Hollow
I too would like to make the journey! I'd certainly stop by to say hi.
Be sure to bring a bag of m & m's for Ed 😉
I wish, but will never have that chance. The Rand is about 18 to the Dollar.
Matt's Off Road Recovery Hey Matt Do you mind if people drop by your shop and say hello? I thought about it the last couple times I went out there but didn’t know if you’d mind I don’t wanna interrupt your busy days
Freedom ... almost. Beautiful landscape and a good pretext to watch. Thanks Matt and the camera crew
Off-road recovery is like landing an airplane. Any one that you can walk away from is a good one.
I thought the point of Recovery was Driving out , and walking out was defeat .
Good job Matt & Randy...despite the difficulties. 😊 We all get our share of “bad days”.😊👍👍🇦🇺🦘
Cooling: For those that don't know this trick...when your engine cooling cannot keep up with the engine heat...turn on your interior cabin heat to High and hot. Your car interior heater will extract heat from your engine the same way your radiator extracts heat from your engine.
Replacement fan belt, way back in the day ladies tights came in handy!
@@Mrfort been there. Done that. Lol
Hey, it's easy to post those videos where everything goes right and you look hella smart, but there's something wonderful about seeing those days where nothing goes right, too. It's a healthy reminder for all of us -- I know those days all too well, even if I'm pushing bits instead of recovering cars. Thanks!
Incredible scenery. Must be great to work in that everyday.
What's up with that hat??!?!?!? TOTALLY awesome!!!! Hopefully that can be fit back into the merch rotation. As far as breaking things.....if you aren't , you aren't having any fun, or learning. Obviously Matt and his crew have many many many years of experience doing these things. Thank you all @ matts off road recovery....keep up the fun, and the hard work!!!
My new favorite quote: "thats exactly how we did it this time"
Matt, I just want to say..I really appreciate your calmness..in the short amount of time as a fan, I can honestly say it is refreshing .you seem to not get frazzled, even in frazzling situations. I'm am so very glad to have found this channel. I love watching. Thank you!
The dogs have generously forgiven Matt for damaging their Jeep.
That’s the additud, no matter how bad the day went still looking forward to making it better. Way to go!!! Take care guys...
Some days, dinner and bedtime can't come fast enough.
EricsArchive or a beer and a cigar
Matt’s always so calm and just smiles when stuff doesn’t go exactly right I fuckin love this guy!
“Never toy with your tow rig”. Words I heard years ago.
You need to get Jeep to sponsor you because you sure show how tough their vehicle is. That poor jeep has been through it. I bet you go through a lot of tires too. I hope you have a better day tomorrow
One of those "plans" is my life haha
Nothing kills your Jeep! Great job getting the job done despite a broken Jeep!
That's an ouchie when ya get back to the rental place without the rental
We all have those days. You had a great attitude about it ! Keep plugging along.
Your "3 wheel drive" is still better than most, since you've got a rear locker. A lot of 4x4s with open diffs are really 2 wheel drive. 3 wheel drive and your experience - piece of cake.
We are all just human, point is you got the job done and no one was hurt in the process.👍
Looks like it’s time for some chromoly axles in the Jeep. How hot the old girl get though I heard a little tapping. Great video. Randy you should have handy the camera off and took over the recovery let Matt have a little break.
He's not allowed to since he doesn't work for the tow company
its better to have the u joints be the weak point than pushing the weak link back into the axles or the rest of the drive train. I have shattered a few front u joints but they never leave me stranded
If you build it right there won’t be a weak link. He’s only running 35s. I been building rock trucks since early 2000s. Spend the money and do it right Only running little 35s should be know issue you survive run I joints with no zero fittings. And I pretty sure he said when it broke it broke the ears off the shafts.
Robert K rck trucks arent doing what he is doing
Jon Meray how do you know what I do with my rig.
That one wanted to be where it was for a little longer. Good days, bad days, you're always getting it done while keeping your cool and sense of humor. "That's not damage" It's tough sometimes. You guys do rock.
an old boss once told me "sometimes your the bug and sometimes your the windsheild"
So true, I've met the windshield and splatted a few times in my 79 years.
Sometimes you eat the Bear , sometimes the Bear eats you .
Your dogs have an awesome life hanging out with you!
I can’t tell if Matt and Randy are friends or if Matt hates him. Always seems like weird interactions between them.
I felt the same thing about Eric and Matt
You should probably just hire Randy and put him on your insurance! LOL Everybody saw that look you gave him! And you know Randy well enough (through the videos) than you know all he wants to do is help!
I have do want to help, it's my nature, but then the filming goes awry, and my job is to capture what happens....
@@randyhare6527 I'm with you brother! It's hard to not get in there and help! Being a business owner myself, I understand the legalities and just thought it was funny.
Did anyone ever turn a Jeep Commanche into a rollback for rescuing ATVs and Side by sides ? That would be interesting.
Why ruin a good truck I have one a 1990 great rig hauled and pulled a lot. if I was going to make a roll back use that ugly new jeep truck. now I am looking for the earlier jeep truck and a cj5 or cj7 hate computer controlled vehicles the newest rig I have is a 1997 and it goes to a mechanic when it has problems. All the others I can work on no scan tool needed
An old Bell 206 helicopter with a 1,500 pound lift hook would do all his ATV rescues in Record time!
Same frame as a Cherokee , for better or worse .
Matt’s I seen your video on TH-cam by accident I can’t stop watching your videos beautiful views you are a cool guy God bless you
Heh. Kind of sounds like what I always say to my wife while driving. I'm not lost, I'm just not where I want to be. There's a lot of truth to that statement when you think about it when you know an area pretty well. I'd also agree, you were definately having an off day.🙂
I'm not lost , I'm just not sure where I am .
Not necessarily an oxymoron . You could very well know you are bounded by know roads or terrain features in known locations , just not sure of your exact location within .
A tripod for your camera might come in handy that way the camera guy can help you load up the side by sides... it's not fair that one guy is having all the fun matt.
Let's be honest here, A "3 wheel drive" Jeep is a lot more capable than some of these so-called off-road worthy Vehicles you can purchase nowadays. I was never a Jeep guy before but once I got into the one I just bought I totally understand why they have such a following and am now definitely a believer...or Jeeper what ever the term.
**MAX & LADY ARE SO WELL MANNERED & STAY WITH YOU ALL THE TIME +++ THEY LOVE TO RUN!!!**
it is surprising, they watch you struggle while loading that thing and all they do is run around you, get in the way, grin at you and do nothing. You really should train Max and Lady better to help out a little sometimes.
It seems like every time I watch these videos there is more beautiful vistas. What a beautiful state.
Sounds like the banana has a collapsed lifter on the startup at the end of the video
i heard that too lol.
me too
Probably the exhaust manifold cracked.
What I like about these videos (and I mean all of them) is the marvellous unpretentiousness with that slight overlay of subcutaneous sarcasm. I’m old, have driven about 50K off-road (and no road) (on business), but watching made me realise every now and again: “oh, that’s how it’s done!”.
Thanks!!!
Seems like many trailer tow jobs would go much quicker with a full width ramp.
Or at least a third one.
A tandem commercial lawn mower or motorcycle trailer with a full drop down ramp gate. He would have been out of there in 5 minutes.
The whole idea out there is to save weight. A full length ramp would be quadruple the weight.
@@yourangerfuelsme Quadruple? 200# full WIDTH in steel tube and expanded metal. Pretty sure that trailer weighs more than 50# just saying. I would think the whole idea would be easy/safer loading of Can am with busted Control arm. After loading the first one with three wheels id be doing some welding in the yard sooner than later. Make do with what you got till you have better!!!!
@@lbcontractor You're actually a dumbass.... THE RAMP WOULD BE 4 TIMES THE WEIGHT OF THE CURRENT RAMP SETUP HE USES....
We will let you slide today lol had fun watching. Just feel like a broken part should be quickly fixed for safety thank you for all you do !!!!!
"Geographically Misplaced" is the term you wanted.
Ever thought about routing a wiper fluid hoses to the radiator for extra cooling? I’ve done that before and works great. Plus you don’t have to stop and get out. Love your show!
ay king it’s 2020 don’t be afraid to show some feet
MATT, even when you are screwing around and messing up, you still make it look easy.........
