I'm 70 yrs old next month. I've done much the same as we see here throughout many of my younger days. I still find it hard to watch and still tense up like a cat about to spring when they tackle those 'impossible' tracks. But just as much, I'm smiling and laughing and relieved at the end of the episode, along with everyone else. Stay safe always.
@@user-iy6de7qi1r I worked in oil exploration throughout all the deserts as a young man. Almost every day it could have been just like this in the rough country. Part of my job was driving an 'International 190' 6WD with aircraft landing tyres which helped it all over the sand dunes. The irony in a way is that Matt's new Wrecker is (somewhat), an 'International 250' I believe. Its a tough ask doing this all day every day but if I was young again, I'd go right back out there all over again.
I wonder why such a LC80 rig did not have roll cage inside. The weight of that LC with that suspension stays pretty high up, which leads to what happened. I would not be driving that rig without roll cage on such terrain to risky.
1-Awesome video as usual 2-Very happy no one was seriously hurt 3-It is a reminder that this stuff are not for everyone, I've been off-roading for over 8 years now and wont even dream about attempting 50% of the stuff Matt & his team do, not because of fear, God knows I've done my share of stupid fun stuns, but rather realizing my own lack of experience. I've seen some amazing marshal drivers over the years but non of them even come close to Matt's natural ability to assess and tackle road & obstacles. Have fun but also make sure you get back to your loved ones safely. I've witnessed too many tragic drams that were the result of "winging" it. 4- The fact that you guys made sure you picked up the debris just made it a much better video to watch, thank you very much for a much needed -and often overlooked- important detail

Nice to see you guys out having some great fun. Hope you all are staying safe! Thank you everyone, I enjoy the videos very much. Keep em coming….. Jim PS safety first!
Matt saves the day again. They would have kept rolling. And rolling and rolling and... Seriously - what are the odds that the Jeep would have been there!?
Was the lord with you on that abomanaition of a off road drive 😅. Women drivers eh🥺. I'm embarrassed for everyone there. So lucky know one was killed on that trip you bunch of idiot's.
That kind of puts a big dent in the days fun but most importantly, no one was injured. It is good to see such a big group of friends having a day of fun. Very glad nobody got hurt.
Hi Matt, I have watched you in action so many times now, I just had to have one of your "signature" model "energy distributing" recovery rope. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to get my new rope.
Tempered has edges & points & can definitely cut you. Windshields are laminated glass & shatter differently than tempered. so they're going to have a lot more small pointy fine pieces that can jab you. Trying to slide any type of glass into a bag is highly tricky without cuts even for leather hands.
@@russellayton6408 windshields are actually not tempered. The rest of the windows are, but winsheilds are not. Or else every rock chip risks taking the entire windsheild
Wow, that was some solid off roading & that rollover shows just how quick things can go pear shaped. I guess they didn't notice the line they took was going to put them on such an extreme side angle. Glad everyone got out safe. Good teamwork & thank goodness Matt was next to them to stop them.
Awesome it turned out safe for everyone ... wasnt even a "hold my beer" moment, just easy driving ... shows how important even a simple roll cage can be. Thanks for sharing!
Right? I rolled my 69 f250 at 50 mph. Went over about 3 times then ended up on the wheels. Windshield was shattered. Had to kick it out to see but cab stayed up just fine. No other windows broken. No roll bar. Price to pay for lighter newer vehicles. Not a bash on Toyota. The 80 seiries is one of the toughest trucks around. Just a sad observation about the transition to plastic and thinner steel or aluminum now.

This video is reminder for all Offroad enthusiast...make a roll cage inside your cabin. It can save you a life in case of emergency. Especially when you drive such LC in this setup...
Exactly. Usally rollovers are "slow motion" enough that there is time to go into reverse or turn the wheel or do something to save it. It's when people do as she described "we are going to roll" and do nothing but hit the breaks, thats when it gets ya. Quick thinking can save your rig in a scenario like that.

Whew was that a close call. Glad nobody was hurt. It certainly looks like if Matt hadn’t stopped them it might have been bad. Thank God Matt did. Wow👍👍👍❤️
I've rolled 3 times now. First time a bridge gave way and I ended up upside down in a creek. Second time I was perched on a log waiting for the vehicle in front of me to clear the obstacle, gave it to much loud pedal going over, kicked the rear out sideways and went on my side. Last time I was in a tight spot, truck climbed the wall on the passenger side and over I went. None were fun, but the last was the softest by far, lol
I can relate to a side flip or two in 4×4s worse flops in tracked vehicles. M113a2 sliding off side hill in training then coming to abrupt stop. Thankfully not all way over.
If I was ever to roll over, I would hope this same group of folks would be there. And, Matt, you’re a hero! You were a perfect steward of the land by cleaning up leaked fluids. People like you (and I hopefully) help to keep our amazing public lands open. I assume this was in Utah, thank you for keeping our state the best of them all! I’d subscribe a hundred times if I could.
God Bless Toyota for making that roof strong! With the added weight of the tires and off-road equipment, it did an amazing job keeping everyone safe! Gald to see everyone was uninjured.
I believe the best place to have a heart attack is at a big sport stadium during a game. Statistically, it happens a lot so they are totally practised and organised.
Everyone who has responded to this so far is taking the euphemism to far. Its a simple reflection on life. Don't make it about you. Ha ha. Love this stuff.
Hi Mat and crew Tony hear from Derry Northern Ireland love the show keeps me on the edge of my seat good luck with the court case we are all with you in Ireland 🇮🇪👍👍
Thank God that Matts Jeep stopped the Toyota from rolling down the slope ! Look how HE cares 4 us ! Praise HIM ! Utah is such a great place - love to see these great vids with all you cool guys - stay well / bless you all !

Weren’t expecting an off-road recovery at the Meet-n-Greet!! Glad everyone is okay ❤️🐞
Glad they're ok! THAT WAS AWESOME!
This video is reminder for all Offroad enthusiast...make a roll cage inside your cabin. It can save you a life in case of emergency. Especially when you drive such LC in this setup...
5:06 When in doubt throttle out. Those brakes will get you every time.
Exactly. Usally rollovers are "slow motion" enough that there is time to go into reverse or turn the wheel or do something to save it. It's when people do as she described "we are going to roll" and do nothing but hit the breaks, thats when it gets ya. Quick thinking can save your rig in a scenario like that.

I've also heard another one like it:
Bad times make strong men
Strong men make good times
Good times make weak mean
Weak men make bad times
Describing the once every ~100 years that our country has incurred a major crisis.
How responsible they picked up all the debris from the roll over, love this video one of Matt's best yet the scenery is breath taking
If I had a beer for every rig I've flopped like that I would be drunk enough to roll another one.
Whew was that a close call. Glad nobody was hurt. It certainly looks like if Matt hadn’t stopped them it might have been bad. Thank God Matt did. Wow👍👍👍❤️
I think the Banana saved it from being worse!
My biggest fear when off-roading, happy everyone is ok.
My biggest fear is landmines. It would ruin my dreams of professional riverdancing.
@@s.whitaker1120 lmao 😆
same, Ive been on the edge off rollovera and all you wana do is just make it out to the staging area and call it a day.
I've rolled 3 times now. First time a bridge gave way and I ended up upside down in a creek. Second time I was perched on a log waiting for the vehicle in front of me to clear the obstacle, gave it to much loud pedal going over, kicked the rear out sideways and went on my side. Last time I was in a tight spot, truck climbed the wall on the passenger side and over I went. None were fun, but the last was the softest by far, lol
I can relate to a side flip or two in 4×4s worse flops in tracked vehicles. M113a2 sliding off side hill in training then coming to abrupt stop. Thankfully not all way over.
If I was ever to roll over, I would hope this same group of folks would be there. And, Matt, you’re a hero! You were a perfect steward of the land by cleaning up leaked fluids. People like you (and I hopefully) help to keep our amazing public lands open. I assume this was in Utah, thank you for keeping our state the best of them all! I’d subscribe a hundred times if I could.
God Bless Toyota for making that roof strong! With the added weight of the tires and off-road equipment, it did an amazing job keeping everyone safe! Gald to see everyone was uninjured.
In your best Jeremy Clarkson voice: “Tonight... Matt upsets all members of the 80 Series Cult... , Yankum Ropes rolls over, and Paul does a thing”
Best response! Can totally play it in my head.
I’m said upset 80 owner
This is gold sir!
and in true Top Gear fashion, the Toyota is still running.

that's like having a heart attack while at the doctor's office....couldn't have been a better place to do it
I would laugh at that but my grandma died at the doctors office
@@dustinvandehey889 For real, I work on a cardiac icu and I'd be happier if it happened there instead of an office.
@@vashusan1984 I can agree with that
I believe the best place to have a heart attack is at a big sport stadium during a game. Statistically, it happens a lot so they are totally practised and organised.
Everyone who has responded to this so far is taking the euphemism to far. Its a simple reflection on life. Don't make it about you. Ha ha. Love this stuff.
Lucky no one got hurt thankfully.
This channel rocks!
Hi Mat and crew Tony hear from Derry Northern Ireland love the show keeps me on the edge of my seat good luck with the court case we are all with you in Ireland 🇮🇪👍👍
Matt literally saved their lives. It’s a blessing the banana was there to stop the Landcruiser from rolling.
Thank God that Matts Jeep stopped the Toyota from rolling down the slope ! Look how HE cares 4 us ! Praise HIM !
Utah is such a great place - love to see these great vids with all you cool guys - stay well / bless you all !
Lucky Matts Jeep was there, or they could've rolled right down the hill.
That's what I was thinking. It could have turned bad real quick. Quick thinking save by Matt.
Yup it wasn't bad luck it was actually good luck, could turned out real bad!
Glad the couple is okay, and everyone works as team to help each other out. Sucks about that jeep though, I wouldn't imagine on how much it would cost to fix that.
7:52 only a REAL MAN handles glass like that... Props to you Matt! You're the best!
I felt like I needed a hug after that roll over too. 😂 Nice save by the Banana 🍌!! Thanks again for the great video can’t wait for the next one!!
Wow Glad everyone is OK! Does look like loads of fun anyway. so jealous I’m at the moment stuck in grey lockdown in the UK.
You guys are fearless. It's good to know even the professionals have mishaps.
I love when you tell us where these trails are. Now, on my list. Maybe even a future customer.
Thats what you call rocking and rolling.
Guy checks on his girl first, before he checks his rig. SMART MAN

glad you guys are ok. accidents like that can be fatal. trucks come and go. great team to wheel with.
Glad that the two are ok. I am questioning why I’m watching this before bed bc of anxiety. My adrenaline is pumped up and I’m not even there! That was a close one…
I appreciate how well you all cleaned up the spilled fluids. Nice work and glad nobody was injured. 👍🏼
