I love that you take the blame as a team. Most of us have all had the kind of boss that would be blaming errybody and throwing a fit. Its really great to see the whole crew facepalm together like u are some sort of team! Friggin Awesome!!
I was the first one my bosses threw out because this current corona situation. Yay, no more bullying boss, constantly broken truck and taking the blame for their mistakes. Time to fix my bicycle and get fit again!
These guys are life goals when it comes to being respectful, having patience and acting like adults. Are they even capable of frustration? I guess that's why they make such a good recovery team! I'm going to strive to be more like these guys.
Absolutely! Matt seems like the coolest guy ever under pressure. Of course, he may be editing some of the less calm parts out. LOL! But he seems like the type that understands that anger and frustration don't do any good.
Matt, chances are you'll never read this but, I was a heavy hiway truck mechanic for 20+ years.. I will give all the credit in the world for knowing how to improvise... That kind of knowledge has gotten me thru many many situations, more than I can count... Well Done Matt...
It sure seems like Matt does all the work, Eric in my opinion is basically lazy and doesn't seem to want to help . I think it was him that didn't get the keys.
see, this is what I love about everyone's attitude on this channel. even when a dumb mistake costs a bunch of time they don't just go around pointing fingers trying to shift blame. they quickly admit and accept "we all dropped the ball", and just as quick find a way to make the most of the situation.
@@electric8668 take it as you please, but that wasn't my intention. I was thinking back to toxic jobs I've had where more energy was spent arguing about who's fault it is than it would have taken to just fix the problem. watching these guys work so cooperatively in this kind of situation is a welcome sight, and something to aspire to
True, wouldn't do that with a car or a vehicle with not enough ground clearance in a pinch situation. This Jeep has tons of lift and tire he could put it down and play dodgeball underneath it. It'd scare the shit out of him I bet but this particular case it wouldn't kill him unless he stupid put his head under the rotor. It won't stop people from getting underneath a car with 3" of ground clearance and an old shitty jack.
@@muddjim55 I've seen three scissor jacks fail in my life. Two were caused by the stamped metal being too weak and the adjustment bolt had nothing to bite. The other had the pivot rivet fail and the car hit the ground.
They could at least have put the wheel underneath as a makeshift safety measure. I missed the 'inspect the rotor' comment because I was fast forwarding past where Erik was under the Jeep because I couldn't bare to watch it.
My father, shade tree mechanic extraordinaire and user of baling wire, always said, "If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer." I love watching your videos. They remind me of long ago when my dad was alive and men like him worked on their cars.
I am always shocked when you show how far you drive for those rescues. In six hours, I could drive entire lenght of my country. Greetings from Europe :)
Have to add my bit about crawling under the Jeep. I couldn't talk my buddy into using jack stands. Can't talk to him at all anymore. Thanks, for the videos. Southern Utah is great. In the yard or on the trail, Stay Safe.
Pure entertainment here! I'm not even ½ through the video and simply relishing in the expert break job and skilled demonstration of use of the 'whack it with the tap-it-go-lucky stick'! Absolute perfection! Matt and the entire crew are truly delightful to watch as you all work together so well and allow a viewer like me to forget about my own troubles- even if just for a little while! Be safe in all your endeavors! 🤗🤗

Also, seeing how much fun, joy & happiness, your puppies have on a call, with you. They seem to beam bright with big smiles!! Perhaps, it's the scenery that attracts me. It's a pleasure to meditate in nature - or anywhere, really. My point is... It's not one or two things that draw me in to view your videos. It's ALL of it - as a "whole". I start smiling big at the beginning & throughout the entire video. But at the end, I'm left feeling an amazing uplifting positive energy that just feels so good. I believe you ALL know your blessed & very grateful for the abundance. I'm grateful for being able to express how I feel, to you all - you're a wonderful family, company, and so much more. In closing... Thank you so much for sharing!! (I had much to say... 😄).
Matt’s how-to: how to do everything with a lot less tools than anybody else. Need an Offroad wrecker? Nope, got a little Jeep. Need a winch, hi lift, or any other recovery gear? Nope, got a rope. If those don’t work, we just get more little jeeps with more ropes. Need wrenches to change those brakes, or gloves, or anything? Nope, got this busted screw driver and a chunk of old barbed wire. Don’t tell me that’s not a how-to. Please keep it up, I’m stuck in a walker and need to see somebody using their man card.
Everyone that has ever worked on Ford has said those famous words " thank you Ford for making it different every single year and sometimes in the middle of the year" love my Fords but hate Ford for that

A few universal rules: If you don't look at it then its okay. Every thing is a tool, every tool is a hammer. When in doubt, set it on fire and walk away. If you close your eyes hard enough it all goes away.
A generation apart yet we do so many things the same way. I spent a lifetime fixing things with the tools I had and making things work in ways other than those for which they were designed. Well done. I disagree about it being a "How to Channel". You are teaching the lost art of improvisation, a gift that has served me, and I suspect you as well, for many years.
Matt McGyver and crew make it work, true off road recovery spirit. Been there done that. Thanks for sharing a great video. The good the bad and the ugly. Stay safe and healthy.
Been binge watching a lot of these episodes lately and this is by far my favorite one yet. Can't tell you how many times I've had to make do on the side of the road with whatever I had. Great improv and had me laughing the entire time.
I watched this a year ago when it first came out. I'd forgotten how much like a "comedy sketch" this was with the hilarious man banter. It's very entertaining. Matt's knowledge of cars and engineering is quite dazzling. I think he should be teaching (maybe the Art of Improvising) at the University of Utah. Eric's smile is dazzling too, which may be why the lady forgot to give him the keys. And, Randy's laugh is always a good addition.
This is what I love about this channel. Reminds me so much of my buddies and I going offroading/camping, someone is always forgetting something and doing random maintenance while were there. Thanks for the awesome content
I'm truly impressed of how well Matt keeps his cool when things go sideways, he also makes the best of time. Good Job Matt! Much love. I would work for you in heartbeat. Your' one cool boss.
Matt, your always so nice to all your guys. No matter who dropped the “key ball” you just made a bad and costly situation into a positive and productive wait. And your the BOMB when it comes to ingenuity!!! I LOVE watching how you solve every situation! You just figure a way for everything! Damn, i wish every man was like you! LOL
Right, why do it the safe way with proper tools when you can just risk buddy's life laying under an unsupported vehicle in the middle of the fucking desert.
Totally baller: his truck is stuck in the mud pit. “Dude, hold my beer, I’ll drive my truck with a trailer with another truck on it right beside it”. Unassisted! Lol
That was a great video to lighten my day. I’ve said it before, but you guys are just the best at what you do - and that is getting the job done one way or another, with the tools on hand, and having fun with great friends (and dogs!) while you do it. Just remain yourselves and keep the videos coming. Almost 150,000 of us love watching!
Love this video. Reminds me if fixing my grandmother's radiator one christmas with my favorite Uncle. My grandma and my uncle are not longer with us and this brings those great memories back. Thank you.
I have had to do some “on the rod repairs” and the only thing I hade to save my butt was my issued Gerber multi tool I got in the Military. Even got stuck once and had to remove a tree limb no axe or shovel. Couldn’t break it cause it was up against the truck, was able to get half way through the limb and put some weight into it and broke it free. Never underestimate the power of ingenuity and determination to get something accomplished.
@@RobKingRC I've been in self isolation for 3 weeks now....lol. I was in Utah visiting Winder Towing when this all went sideways. Made a run for the border to get back to Vancouver Island.
Many of us think that to get any thing done a person needs a tooled up shop. Thanks for reminding us that using that thing between your ears, humans are capable of quite a lot with minimal equipment. Level of difficulty does not mean impossible. Great video, things break when you're not prepared in life.
Idk how ford makes money when they needlessly change parts every 2 years. Or make the same part in 2 different factories, but they actually aren't the same and dont interchange. Or stupid stuff like having 4 different brake pads or headlight assemblies based on trim level. Drives me crazy.
The Spare tire tool is under the little carpeted storage compartment under the rear seats. Fold the rear seats up and you'll see the pocket. Pull-on the carpeted compartment and it will be revealed. Just for future reference in those trucks.

Excellent work on the brakes Matt. These are the types of skills one needs especially when SHTF and you are out in the middle of nowhere. We can always grab the torque wrench and apply non-squeal lube when we get back to shop. Love the channel!
Guys, you are awesome! This made me to recall how my dad repaired the car in 1994. We stopped on the side of the road thousand miles away frome home with broken suspension. He used a hacksaw, adjustable wrench and a piece of steel pipe that was lying nearby. Two hundred miles later a water pump broke down and this was terrible, because that car model were really rare in our country. Fortunately we stopped a truck, placed our car inside, and get to home that way.
You can have every Dewalt tool they make, a bunch of talented guys and a house fall apart if there’s butting heads. You guys work as a team, fall as a team and that’s respect.
I’m sure their underwriter doesn’t watch. Lol and yea I’ve seen some sketchy stuff in my past but I never publicized it on video! Normally it’s like, here hold my beer, and don’t ever do or tell anyone about this. 😂
Yeah there's a difference in what you have to do to get home and just want to do to save time. Brake pads are an easy job in the garage so why make it tougher by doing in on a trailer, on a small jack, without the right tools?
Matt and crew...this is a great video. The smooth non-chalance to do a break job in the middle of nowhere to make use of "down time" is just awesome! I love the ball peen hammer, and hex key. LOL
I think this video is hilarious. I also like the way you guys work together and never blame one another for things that go wrong. I have to admit I was a little nervous watching Eric underneath the truck with out blocking under the axle. I know you were in the middle of nowhere. I was crushed once by a truck and to watch that stuff makes me nervous. Keep up the good work love your videos.
I'm 65 now,been working with junk most all my life..y'all could have said screw it! We'll fix it back at the house,but no,let's get done now..you've earned my subscription!!
Time was really not passing since there been many days country is in lockdown....but really thanks for making my day👍👍👍🇮🇳 absolutely loved the entire stuff...
You guys are excellent! Wish we were neighbors! I found this particular video very inspiring... how to make the most of any difficult situation! Even when you drop the ball on something, a productive alternative is there!
The way you guys are working on those brakes reminds me of me and my brother one year trying to fix a broken timing chain with no told that would work without improvising. But we got it fixed 12 hours later. But it was fun and a great learning lesson to bring and keep the correct tools in your vehicle at all times.
Do what you can with what you got and procure and anything is possible. Been stuck in many bad spots in the middle of nowhere and still managed to make it home. Should be taught in every household.
Loved the idea of using the tow hitch for hammer, but jack without jack stand? Personally, I would stuck the wheel under the truck for safety security.
Your videos are killing me man..... It makes me want to go get an old beat up XJ and go have some fun. I can't get enough of your recover vids. Keep up the good work.
This video is so funny! My husband has been watching these, now I am. What are people doing out there without 4WD? This crew is humble as well as helpful!
This is, by far, the best real reality show I've ever seen. Great camera work, like the b-roll video and music, great guys that I could only hope to work with. Beautiful UT/NV desert scenes. You can learn a lot by watching how these smart professionals operate. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love this channel ! And this one reminded me of when my CJ7 broke a drive shaft about 5 miles from pavement All I had was a pair of pliers and a coat hanger so I wired the shaft to the skid plate and let it spin. Made it home just fine

I love how resourceful yall are - everything is a problem that can be broken down and solved! Awesome!!
Excellent work on the brakes Matt. These are the types of skills one needs especially when SHTF and you are out in the middle of nowhere. We can always grab the torque wrench and apply non-squeal lube when we get back to shop. Love the channel!
This is THE BEST ONE YET!! you guys are friggin hilarious!!
I did not know that there was a special key. We in Russia always do this.
Guys, you are awesome!
This made me to recall how my dad repaired the car in 1994. We stopped on the side of the road thousand miles away frome home with broken suspension. He used a hacksaw, adjustable wrench and a piece of steel pipe that was lying nearby. Two hundred miles later a water pump broke down and this was terrible, because that car model were really rare in our country. Fortunately we stopped a truck, placed our car inside, and get to home that way.
You can have every Dewalt tool they make, a bunch of talented guys and a house fall apart if there’s butting heads. You guys work as a team, fall as a team and that’s respect.
Makes me nervous watching up under that Jeep with just that jack.
I would be slightly better with it if it was a very small contact point
Makes me pucker up a little bit
Steve Ddad the stuff they do is mild compared stuff I’ve seen in the past in person
I’m sure their underwriter doesn’t watch. Lol and yea I’ve seen some sketchy stuff in my past but I never publicized it on video! Normally it’s like, here hold my beer, and don’t ever do or tell anyone about this. 😂
Yeah there's a difference in what you have to do to get home and just want to do to save time. Brake pads are an easy job in the garage so why make it tougher by doing in on a trailer, on a small jack, without the right tools?
You scared the bejesus out of me when you crawled under the jeep without jackstands !! Improvise, adapt, and overcome. Great video.
john m its a floorjack you nancy. Jackstands fail far more often,
The front wheels are strapped down, the jeep can really move. Even if the jack failed the straps would keep it from rolling.
Matt and crew...this is a great video. The smooth non-chalance to do a break job in the middle of nowhere to make use of "down time" is just awesome! I love the ball peen hammer, and hex key. LOL
I think this video is hilarious. I also like the way you guys work together and never blame one another for things that go wrong. I have to admit I was a little nervous watching Eric underneath the truck with out blocking under the axle. I know you were in the middle of nowhere. I was crushed once by a truck and to watch that stuff makes me nervous. Keep up the good work love your videos.
I'm 65 now,been working with junk most all my life..y'all could have said screw it! We'll fix it back at the house,but no,let's get done now..you've earned my subscription!!
Watchin' the yellow Banana climb onto the trailer @ 20.19 what a BEAST!
Time was really not passing since there been many days country is in lockdown....but really thanks for making my day👍👍👍🇮🇳 absolutely loved the entire stuff...
With c-19 going on and being stuck at home on a fabulous uk day, I needed this video to help lighten my mood. Thanks Matt.
4:12 The dogs they make me nervous when they cross the road.
You guys are excellent! Wish we were neighbors! I found this particular video very inspiring... how to make the most of any difficult situation! Even when you drop the ball on something, a productive alternative is there!
The way you guys are working on those brakes reminds me of me and my brother one year trying to fix a broken timing chain with no told that would work without improvising. But we got it fixed 12 hours later. But it was fun and a great learning lesson to bring and keep the correct tools in your vehicle at all times.
Me- "Brake jobs are boring!"
Matt- "Hold my beer!"
True & we drink the same brand....Mug.... Hahaha
Sorry! I was laughing so much. You are the A team with a touch of MacGyver.
Matt is always in a good mood. Today, at least in the beginning, he seemed just a bit irked that they forgot to get the guys
Its amazing what a little common sense and a little bit of mechanical inclination can do. It can always make plan come together. Good work fellas!
Do what you can with what you got and procure and anything is possible. Been stuck in many bad spots in the middle of nowhere and still managed to make it home. Should be taught in every household.
Loved the idea of using the tow hitch for hammer, but jack without jack stand? Personally, I would stuck the wheel under the truck for safety security.
That was So Much Fun ......I haven't smiled this much all week Thanks.
I love this channel, Keep it up :-)
When you take a break, you really take a "brake". Afterall, patience is key to getting the keys.
The ending was so relaxing to watch or is it just me lol
I feel so proud of that yellow jeep
Every time I’m impressed how easy the pull takes the vehicle out of being stuck!
Man y’all bring back old memories of some of our camping trips ✌️
Your videos are killing me man..... It makes me want to go get an old beat up XJ and go have some fun. I can't get enough of your recover vids. Keep up the good work.
this is hands down my favorite of all your videos, and I also love it when a plan comes together!
This video is so funny! My husband has been watching these, now I am. What are people doing out there without 4WD? This crew is humble as well as helpful!
They are exploring and that's fine, there's a guy named Matt that will save the day, all good :D
This is, by far, the best real reality show I've ever seen. Great camera work, like the b-roll video and music, great guys that I could only hope to work with. Beautiful UT/NV desert scenes. You can learn a lot by watching how these smart professionals operate. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Never underestimate the value of a broken screwdriver.
I died when you pulled out the “hammer!”
Also please at least put the wheel under it when you have the jack up.
Yeah, not good having Eric under there with only a cheap chinese jack holding it up. I have had those just suddenly fail.
I was thinking the same thing
The right front is strapped down, it's not going anywhere
@@joshwithe7468 That axle is strapped down. Have you seen him drive the banana? I flexes pretty well. That strap would do nothing.
@@joshwithe7468 The straps hold it laterally. But they offer no help should the jack fail.
Dogs are having the the most beautiful moments in their life
I love this channel ! And this one reminded me of when my CJ7 broke a drive shaft about 5 miles from pavement
All I had was a pair of pliers and a coat hanger so I wired the shaft to the skid plate and let it spin. Made it home just fine
i love these guys lmao brutally honest and they dont fuck around itd b amazing working with guys like this lmao wish everyone was like this
