i do have to say... these recent ones with Matt and his son are my favorite! I have a son and take him offroading every chance I get and i love their relationship. :)
@@bowtieenthusiast6672 His haters do!!!. Rudy has a great channel on his own now. I believe it's an awesome thing that Matt is not only providing for his family, he also is building bonds and memories with his family.
I do off-road recoveries in Northern Alberta. I know everybody says they have mud, but boy, we have mud or choking dust. I carry a 1 gal pump-up sprayer with washer fluid and a squeegee for the windows.
He's such a genuinely good person, there's no fuss or frills to the way he interacts and does his good work and you know it's all the more real for it.
Serious props to the medical team that took care of Kaulin, because he's like a dang ol billy goat, getting around like nothing ever happened. I don't think enough of those people get the recognition they deserve.
I know they don't...... I had a compound fractured right leg, rebuilt right foot and ankle that was crushed in a motorcycle wreck, November 23, 1980. ...... I will never fail to appreciate Dr. Holbert in North Bend Oregon.....I can't run, but I can walk.
Matt, wish you had a summer camp to send my boys too. Learning to work on vehicles, playing in the mud, healthy masculine comradare & leadership, and the great out doors... I know you don't have the time &/or desire, but I look at the gift your kids have had experiencing your life, lifestyle and adventures... These things are missing in a lot of kids worlds.
Watching from Botswana Africa, I am always astonished to see the hard work Matt is always willing to put his machines through. The content is good! Thanks to you and your team.
After watching the videos. I too bought the milestar pategonias. In 31s. They are great!. Did amazing in the snow.. and haven't gotten stuck in mud yet
15:42 Matt and team! Majority of vehicles will have the traction button and when just pressed, it will turn some nanny’s off but not all (usually a stability control). When pressed and held (usually 5-15 seconds) it will turn off all nanny’s. I can confirm this works on Hyundai’s, Ford, Toyota, Subaru, Ram, and I would expect it to work on GM products.
it’s the same on my BMW aswell, i guess that’s become pretty standard to have to hold it. Definitely a good piece of info to remember when dealing with newer cars like this.
I’ve been dealing with chronic pain from severe spinal stenosis for going on 3 yrs now and just had a pain pump put in last Wednesday. Unfortunately I’ve been leaking spinal fluid since then which has left me with debilitating migraines. Your channel has become the highlight of my day and wonderful escape. We’re just over in Vegas and hope by summer to be feeling good enough to stop by and say Thanks with some Victory Pies or one of my wife’s desserts. Thank you guys for keeping me sane and entertained. And special shout out to the audio and video crew for their amazing work every week to produce these episodes 🙏🏻🤍✨
We absolutely love our Subaru Crosstrek, one of the latest cars to actually be built with the ability to make it usable like an older car. Plus x-mode awd and 40 mpg, it's been a great car. Plus it's a neat color and good styling.
I feel like a set of small handheld walkies in each rig would be useful in times like this where it's just two of you on a recovery. Not all the time, but when you have to have that communication between bumps and stuff...
@@16driver16 I can tell that one vehicle can get around pretty well in the mud in a couple different instances. One pulling a small car from a place it couldn't remove itself from. Another pulling a fairly heavy trailer through the mud fairly well. I realize this particular JK punches above it's weight limit, and does so while turning said tires. Thank you.
@richwood8650 I'm trying to tell you every mud is different even the same mud is different over time... without something to compare to you can't tell how well the tires helped at all... THE VEHICLE did well... whether the tires helped or not is interminable with this information set
Such an awesome episode. You and your son make a great team. He’s really coming along and making great decisions and stands up not only with you sir to you nicely. It so awesome. Thank you guys!!!
I've driven my Subaru through some pretty bad mud before. It has to get gnarly for you to get stuck. Your Utah red clay mud is next level. The crosstrek is like a little rally car. Once you get the hang of it throwing the front and back end around in the mud is effortless and predictable.
Hear, Hear ! Mudding puts grit in joints. It cakes grease turning joints dry. A machinist in the neighborhood told me what mud and muddy water does to joints as a teenager, and I have never mudded since.
Lmao ok. So I Spose u do t drive down gravel roads either !? My family lives down gravel my house is on gravel an when it’s wet that gets everywhere so your gonna tell me my everyday driving is gonna ruin my vehicle well I think u should double check his info. It may ruin them but if taken care of an have the proper protection your fine. Lmao 😂
Some conditions are harder on components than others. You do what you NEED TO DO. Unless it's just a hobby and you don't mind the effort and dollars for additional maintenance. I don't intentionally drive through mud or water unless there is a destination that requires it.
It looked like my GMC Astro when I hooked up to a 30 foot rv trailer to pull it out of the way to replace it with another one. Saved the guy from unhooking and rehooking twice. Ha, ha, no, I wouldn't want to try pulling it on the road.
@@Kovacreationthe axles are strong but that doesn’t mean the suspension, transmission and motor are built for that much weight. I know they were going slow and a short distance but that’s just a lot of weight for that jeep.
@jordanlambourne5230 once you put the transfer case in low range the engine and transmission are out of the equation. Besides if I remember correctly that engine has been worked on and makes 250 HP which is more than a lot of trucks make. My 1990 F350 had a 7.3l diesel and made 170HP, my 1989 F250 with a 5.8l gas motor makes 210. A lot of 50s single axle dump trucks has inline 6-cylinders that made less that 150 HP. A 25 HP farm tractor with enough weight on the front to keep it from going up into the air would move that trailer. I once moved a 70' house trailer with a 50HP tractor. A guy I used to work for helped put more than one 70' house trailer in position with a John Deere A which was also 26 HP
That looked like a great day playing in the mud, reminds me of what we used to do on rainy weekends, except we only had rope ,seatbelts, and an endless chain ( block and tackle, usually used for removing engines 😂) as a winch,if necessary, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
I have a Subaru Forester. You just press the traction control button by your knee and it goes off right away. You don't need to hold it down. A TCS OFF light will illuminate on the dash by the speedometer to let you know you were successful.
These jobs where y'all just stop to rescue poor folks really gives me hope for the future of our country. Great that there are just plain good folks around. Keep up the good work and thank you!
I suggest you carry a full 2 gallon garden pump sprayer with you on all recoveries. It becomes a micro pressure washer for hands and mirrors, an emergency water supply, and a way to cool overheated engines. Thrift store beach towels are always handy to have off-road.
@@Jaxon1127 I'm slowly realizing that part of the MORR schtick is to show them going unprepared. Example; go on a snow recovery in t-shirts. Only the young lady was smart enough to bring gloves.
Love your show, your comments on steering control in mud is correct, sometimes in northern Alberta in the foothills with lots of switch backs we would also chain up the front tires for better control Love how calm and collected Matt always is
on a lot of the newer cars the trac control is two mode. Short push will let you spin as long as you go straight and a 10-15 second push is full off for hoony funs.
The Banana upgrades definitely came in handy with these muddy rescues man what a muddy mess with all of recovery's. Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge Matt of these muddy roads and turning off the anti traction switch and using the gas and not BRAKES! There's some very thankful people out there that Matt and Kaulin got em out! Good video!
My question is why would anyone take a RV into an area where there is nothing and not even a good view. Just mud. Most people are clueless about where they are going. I have a question. Do have to clean your tow straps when they get submerged in mud. Does mud affect the integrity of the strap over time. Love your channel and much respect in what you do. Nothing but professionalism and love how you explain everything on what you are going to do. 👍♥️
Most class C motor homes with dual wheels come with posi trac . Which in my book is better than a 4 wheel drive. When one front one back engage. Matt is so right, but he usually is right.
Speaking of the weather, how's Ed doing??? Hope he finds himself that gold nugget he's after before he's needed somewhere else😢 Good on ya Matt for having him around!!! Sometimes you never know why ppl come together but then you realize each others impact to the world🎉💪💪
The editor really deserves a raise! The graphics at 10:05 were hilarious! This episode had me laughing, smiling, sitting on the edge of my seat! That clay is nasty stuff, but the Banana got 'em all out! Very impressive.
No, Jefe is more of an overall site manager at the shop. They have three video editors now, each one works on the videos for each weekday they come out, Wed, Fri, and Saturday.@@musicman8942
15:30 most cars I have drove you need to have it fully stopped and foot on the brake then hold the traction control button for like 5-10 seconds and that will do the job
@@61rampy65 I know that for a while he was the one shooting the videos of the rescues. I also believe he runs the website. He just hasn't been talked about for quite the while.
Hearing those kiddos say "thank you so much" warms my heart. Good parenting and the worst of circumstances and kiddos being grateful and expressive of that thankfulness. That's good parenting. Sometimes the worst of circumstances teaches kiddos what to be thankful for. Everything is a teachable moment. Kiddos being scared and seeing expertise. Lead by example whether it's your kids or not, Everything is a teachable moment. Act accordingly. Lead by example of what to do, not what not to do.
I like the new Father Son dynamic on the channel, it’s a great thing to see. I really liked the Episode with Mom & Rhett also, he seemed to have that “ Get-er done “ attitude. Lest we forget “ These are the good old days “ (thumbs up)
I love to watch you two work together! I think the 'mud jobs' may be my favorites. (It's the fun part, right?) How about in the near future we get to see the whole group in their Corvairs going off to lunch and cruise around town for a bit? I think that would be awesome! Maybe have Caitlin and Ed follow along in the MORRvair with a box of fan belts in the back?
Mud, mud, nothing quite like for getting us stuck... The most important part of getting any vehicle unstuck in mud is the nut behind the wheel - and Matt's one of the best nuts behind the wheel.
Matt and Collin, I really enjoy your videos and I can’t believe how well the Cherokee performs in the mud. You must have more upgrades than I am aware of or else you are a lot more talented drivers than I am. Anyway that was a hell of an impressive recovery. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. I watch most of them several times and I learn new things every time.
The trick to easy cleaning after "mudding" is spraying everything with a good coat of cooking spray. That oil coat will help the mud fall off after. Works everytime. Sure it isnt cheap but its easier to clean after. And if you set one of those wand style sprinklers underneath and let it run, it will fall off. Or just hook to a fire hydrant for the pressure and volume.
Hey! I am a member of PETA!...................................................................................................................................................People Eating Tasty Animals.
Hey Matt I just wanna say I appreciate you coming and participating in the Freedom 500. I couldn’t be there as I had hoped but I watched every second on the PPV pulling for my Hurricane Utah favorite ! ❤
Matt and Collin are fun to watch together. Collin's personality of sweetness and a sense of fun reminds me of Lizzie. Collin seems very comfortable talking in the video. Great mud rescue.
You really need to get some two way radios. If you know you are going out in muddy conditions, get a Hudson sprayer (bug sprayer) with water. You can use it to hose off the windshield and side windows. I can't believe those 5 young men just stood by and watched you two crank up that trailer tongue jack instead of jumping in and helping.
There might be some sort of legal/ins. reason why others don't jump in, or Matt wanted it to be Kaulin. But I agree. It looks pretty bad for able-bodies guys to just be standing there, watching.
@@ColinRichardson Howdy Colin, it's warm with some clouds, rain is on its way later this week. We've had some awesome weather lately though. How is it across the pond?
@@JohnFL Well, we are told some sun is on the way, but I don't believe them.. Or if it is, it will be only for 20 minutes or so.. We actually had, about 2 weeks ago, the first clear sky (not a cloud in any direction) for the first time since early November. It lasted about 5 hours.. and of course, the sun in the EXACT direction I was driving.. so I could see EFF ALL. Thankfully, I still randomly had my sunglasses sitting in my wife's car, so it made it a little bit better, but still incredibly hard to see. Though, we had no rain that night, which was a nice change. But, we are old we MAY have high temperature of 7°C (44°F), which again, I don't believe.
Matt, Your new shop space would be much better if you had an overhead crane set-up. Lifts are great, but adding the ability to pull out engines etc. from above is a huge improvement! When you need it, you need it!
Living in Minnesota as youth driving and goofing around on frozen lakes helps you learn to drive on slippery conditions. My youngest took it to the extreme, he use to give friends a ride to school in his 4wd ranger. He got the nickname danger ranger from his driving. We heard stories thru the grapevine. Although one time he misjudged his stopping distance and put his truck thru the garage door
There no better inheritance than a father teaching his sons how the business is run rather than just handing them a business they don’t know how to run. Great job Matt
When I had a Subaru Forester I was constantly amazed by how well it handled in slick, greasy mud. Even with the traction control/ X mode on. Their AWD system does a really good job of evenly distributing the power. I'd take it over my truck every time in mud or wet snow. Especially once I put better tires on it.
the last time I heard Matt sing a song it was stuck in my head for days....."Robyn Hood and Little John walking through the forest. Laughing back and forth at what the other has to say" Brings me back to say the least
I had a moment's doubt about pulling that trailor but you got'erdone. Just a suggestion that you get two wat radios for coms between drivers and overseers. Those times when you callled for, "Stop, Stop, Stop", were not heard over the engine noises.
So we got a call. In todays episode: MORR gets sponsored by Google, TomTom almost loses a finger to the plasma cutter, and Jake receives his cape and crown for being King of the Garage.
Love your content!! We have followed you for years... my husband suggested that... Maybe carry a tarp to keep you out of the snow, mud or whatever you have to deal with. Thank you for all you do..
I really love how you help and guide your son into becoming a young man. In this day in time a large majority of fathers are absent from there responsibility oof being a daddy. You Mr.Matt are a very good father and man!
It’s cool seeing your boys grow up, gaining confidence, maintaining respect. Teenage years are so hard. Probably not always perfect but keeping it the opposite of Orange County Choppers is good wholesome TV… on my phone.
That Banana is a Beast!!! That was amazing watching that thing just dig that trailer right out. Very cool I love how you get out the way of your kids and let them learn how to do these jobs.
I think I've had my fill of mud rescues all in this one video. Good thing that's not normal for you guys. It looks like it will be loads of "fun" cleaning it, and will leave a deep pile of mud wherever it gets cleaned at.
Saw some guys in a Prius scraping down a road near the Browns Valley WMA near the Utah border. Poor guys started on the chip seal road that turns to gravel, then to dirt, then to one lane narrow road as it goes through the canyon. Went in by the swinging bridge, which is mostly sand on the way in from Colorado, but when you come in from the east it sneaks up on you. Was genuinely surprised how far that little Prius made it. They drove all the way over from Nebraska and Google Maps took them right down the path. Can't imagine that car looked very good by the time they came out.
Hey Matt thank you. I find nothing more enjoyable than seeing what you imagine. And the recent relationship with your son added something beautiful in the content on the idea of your son driving in the jeep is better than driving you (translation from Uncle Google) 🙃
I'm sure the trailer weight on the rear axle helped it get traction, but wow. I'm impressed at how well the banana pulled it out. That thing is quite the little yellow beast!
I have found that using an ice scraper to get all the heavy mud off first makes it much easier to wash the windshield off when you get to using water. That way a little bit of water wets the remaining mud enough that a brush will turn it into a really thin slurry that easily comes off when you toss the water onto the windshield.
im honestly just surprised that jeep even turns on & off.. id be terrified to take that out to the mountain with my luck it wll overheat or something as soon as its time to leave, IMPRESSivE
We just stayed out at Under Canvas! Probably very close to when you filmed this! I thought about you all as we drove through Hurricane! Told my wife and kids all about Sand Hollow and how people get stuck all the time!
I had drivers ed in the mid 80's in NW Minnesota. We were taught, giving it the right amount of gas & steering into the skid was more important than brakes. Getting stuck can be life threatening.
The solo drive out in the Subaru felt so organic, like the early videos. It was nice. You should include more of that.
Organic?
I'm glad I get to see a good father and son relationship on the Internet.
The best rescues and video you've done in a long time. The Banana rules! This 75 year old woman, and a former Utahn appreciates all you do.
Heavy vehicles in mud/sand never is a good idea!
This episode is a throwback to the old MORR videos. No wrecker, no morrvair. Just mud and a banana
Mud n a banana man my minds in the gutter 😂
I love watching this family, no foul or harsh language, and no angry outbursts of childish behaviour of most TV shows. Well done to you all.
They need a Hollywood producer. Get some TandA and some super stupid drama. You know, act like no human has ever acted.

love that they helped that woman. most others would drive by or offer it as a recovery call.
I'm sure they paid some.
Matt saying hi to the kids and puppies is such a memory maker and on point for a guy missing church
There’s something about that dude for sure. I feel like we all know someone like him in our life. Just genuine, good, solid, accountable. Rad guy
Always love to see how great Matt is with kids and dogs (both his own and his customers). It's an excellent sign of a good man.
Agreed!
Haven't seen a dog that didn't like Matt. They can read it his expressions and know he's a friend to go greet.

That's the key to that shallow greasy clay mud- lots of ground pressure. It's why Interco makes super swampers and boggers in narrow widths.
Yep! Fat wide tires for sand, skinny narrow tires for just about every thing else!
If that's not a testament to the capability of the Patagonia tires, I'm not sure what would be. Another great video from the MORR family. Thank you.

@@randytolle6706
I think the tongue weight of the wood trailer actually helped you with getting some more traction👍
Sure did, helped to plant the tires and dig in that slimy mud... Just like the weight helped the camper.
Being aired down helped put more rubber on the road too!
Yeah, that weight really helped those tires grab into that thick clay bottom instead of just spinning on top.
yep squatted the rear and lifted the front.
I agree, that rear axle definitely had some ballast.
Wow I didn’t think the banana could haul that heavy trailer! Very impressed.

Nothing but professionalism and love how you explain everything on what you are going to do. 👍♥️
Most class C motor homes with dual wheels come with posi trac . Which in my book is better than a 4 wheel drive. When one front one back engage. Matt is so right, but he usually is right.
No it's not
@mtaa11 yes they are I have 17 C back axles and all are posi trac
This was really enjoyable. That old XJ continues to impress. I like to see the customer's look of glee when you get 'em out.
Man, what a workhorse the banana is… love it!
Glad to know I'm not the only one who moo's at cows!
Our family opts for barking at cars.
I just ask them to moooo ve outta the road .
I don't moo at cows. But I will point 👉 at them and say, "Cows."😅
They look delicious! 😜
Doggies.
I love the educational advice on how to drive in a road that has a bad case of snow&mud and seeing you drive through it from a third person view.
Speaking of the weather, how's Ed doing??? Hope he finds himself that gold nugget he's after before he's needed somewhere else😢 Good on ya Matt for having him around!!! Sometimes you never know why ppl come together but then you realize each others impact to the world🎉💪💪
That loaded trailer full of wood was like a mad Snow Runner job haha. Love it!
Snowrunner is awesome!
specially the part of using the wrong truck for the job but doing it regardless!
@@Aleblanco1987 Or running out of gas
The editor really deserves a raise! The graphics at 10:05 were hilarious! This episode had me laughing, smiling, sitting on the edge of my seat! That clay is nasty stuff, but the Banana got 'em all out! Very impressive.
Is Jefe still doing the video editing? Haven't heard anything about him in the videos for months now
No, Jefe is more of an overall site manager at the shop. They have three video editors now, each one works on the videos for each weekday they come out, Wed, Fri, and Saturday.@@musicman8942
@@musicman8942 I could be wrong, but I think Jefe is working the tow truck part of MORR. He was at the wrecker games.
15:30 most cars I have drove you need to have it fully stopped and foot on the brake then hold the traction control button for like 5-10 seconds and that will do the job
@@61rampy65 I know that for a while he was the one shooting the videos of the rescues. I also believe he runs the website. He just hasn't been talked about for quite the while.
Wowser! The Banana was amazing in every rescue... and that wood ladened trailer was the icing on the cake!
Hearing those kiddos say "thank you so much" warms my heart. Good parenting and the worst of circumstances and kiddos being grateful and expressive of that thankfulness. That's good parenting. Sometimes the worst of circumstances teaches kiddos what to be thankful for. Everything is a teachable moment. Kiddos being scared and seeing expertise. Lead by example whether it's your kids or not, Everything is a teachable moment. Act accordingly. Lead by example of what to do, not what not to do.
Matt you are a really good parent. You have taught a lot of young people about driving in adverse conditions
I'm thinking you need a nice "Matt's Off-road Recovery Squeegee"
Collin is a rookie 😂 he rolled the muddy window down!! I enjoy watching you guys. You all are good, kind-hearted folks.
Matt's Off Road is the #1 recovery y'all are Amazing Crew
God blessed Matt an family
I like the new Father Son dynamic on the channel, it’s a great thing to see. I really liked the Episode with Mom & Rhett also, he seemed to have that “ Get-er done “ attitude. Lest we forget “ These are the good old days “ (thumbs up)
I love to watch you two work together! I think the 'mud jobs' may be my favorites. (It's the fun part, right?)
How about in the near future we get to see the whole group in their Corvairs going off to lunch and cruise around town for a bit? I think that would be awesome! Maybe have Caitlin and Ed follow along in the MORRvair with a box of fan belts in the back?
Just helping people along the way. That's so Matt.😊
Yup just MORR easy money 💰 👌
@@theuglytruth8162 Nothing is free. That's the ugly truth.
Mud, mud, nothing quite like for getting us stuck...
The most important part of getting any vehicle unstuck in mud is the nut behind the wheel - and Matt's one of the best nuts behind the wheel.
I cracked up Matt mooing at cows and commenting how delicious they looked! 😂 It was also hilarious Matt hollering at Collin to stop!
Knock knock. Who’s there? Interrupting cow. Interrupting co…. “MOOOOOO!”
Could have been disastrous. Thats them there communications, lack of, again.
Matt and Collin, I really enjoy your videos and I can’t believe how well the Cherokee performs in the mud. You must have more upgrades than I am aware of or else you are a lot more talented drivers than I am. Anyway that was a hell of an impressive recovery. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. I watch most of them several times and I learn new things every time.
The trick to easy cleaning after "mudding" is spraying everything with a good coat of cooking spray. That oil coat will help the mud fall off after. Works everytime. Sure it isnt cheap but its easier to clean after. And if you set one of those wand style sprinklers underneath and let it run, it will fall off. Or just hook to a fire hydrant for the pressure and volume.
2:16 “ Hey 🐄 hey 🐮,those look delicious” what an amazingly funny way to start a video
Hey! I am a member of PETA!...................................................................................................................................................People Eating Tasty Animals.
It got me.
Made me laugh out loud!
😂
Hey Matt I just wanna say I appreciate you coming and participating in the Freedom 500. I couldn’t be there as I had hoped but I watched every second on the PPV pulling for my Hurricane Utah favorite ! ❤
Matt and Collin are fun to watch together. Collin's personality of sweetness and a sense of fun reminds me of Lizzie. Collin seems very comfortable talking in the video. Great mud rescue.
I'm mizzing Lizzie!
The Morvair pulling out that wood hauler was amazing. Would never think you could use a pintil hitch and a ball hitch. Great Video.
Awesome video. Condolences for your ears & that new transfer case...
You really need to get some two way radios. If you know you are going out in muddy conditions, get a Hudson sprayer (bug sprayer) with water. You can use it to hose off the windshield and side windows.
I can't believe those 5 young men just stood by and watched you two crank up that trailer tongue jack instead of jumping in and helping.
They have radios, they just forget to take them
@@Mardy72 I thought I saw a little walkie talkie hanging on Kaulin's shirt in that one clip.
They have some. Bringing them along is on the checklist before leaving, right after getting gas.
There might be some sort of legal/ins. reason why others don't jump in, or Matt wanted it to be Kaulin. But I agree. It looks pretty bad for able-bodies guys to just be standing there, watching.
You did. Apparently Matt didn't have his.🤷♀️
Good MORRning everyone!
Great MORRning to you John.. How is the weather your side of the pond today?
@@ColinRichardson Howdy Colin, it's warm with some clouds, rain is on its way later this week. We've had some awesome weather lately though. How is it across the pond?
@@JohnFL Well, we are told some sun is on the way, but I don't believe them.. Or if it is, it will be only for 20 minutes or so..
We actually had, about 2 weeks ago, the first clear sky (not a cloud in any direction) for the first time since early November. It lasted about 5 hours.. and of course, the sun in the EXACT direction I was driving.. so I could see EFF ALL. Thankfully, I still randomly had my sunglasses sitting in my wife's car, so it made it a little bit better, but still incredibly hard to see. Though, we had no rain that night, which was a nice change. But, we are old we MAY have high temperature of 7°C (44°F), which again, I don't believe.
It’s good night in Australia
Lol
@@davescott5506 MORRning is when MORR uploads, regardless of time zone. 😉
The Wrecker is a beast, but damn, look at the Banana. 😎
Matt, Your new shop space would be much better if you had an overhead crane set-up. Lifts are great, but adding the ability to pull out engines etc. from above is a huge improvement! When you need it, you need it!
Living in Minnesota as youth driving and goofing around on frozen lakes helps you learn to drive on slippery conditions. My youngest took it to the extreme, he use to give friends a ride to school in his 4wd ranger. He got the nickname danger ranger from his driving. We heard stories thru the grapevine. Although one time he misjudged his stopping distance and put his truck thru the garage door
There no better inheritance than a father teaching his sons how the business is run rather than just handing them a business they don’t know how to run. Great job Matt
When I had a Subaru Forester I was constantly amazed by how well it handled in slick, greasy mud. Even with the traction control/ X mode on. Their AWD system does a really good job of evenly distributing the power. I'd take it over my truck every time in mud or wet snow. Especially once I put better tires on it.
In Ohio we call "water holes" puddles go figure
Great to see the teamwork between father and son, one of my favorite Matt’s videos.
"We found the nautical eye of towing and shipping" ??? LOL! So classic!! Thanks Matt!
Isnt it dangerous to attach to a hitch on a heavy pull? Thinking of the unfortunate fatal Colorodo tow hitch and ball through the windshield
Sometimes you gotta take those risks unfortunately
I miss TomTom in these recoveries
that Prius trying to go off road?
the last time I heard Matt sing a song it was stuck in my head for days....."Robyn Hood and Little John walking through the forest. Laughing back and forth at what the other has to say" Brings me back to say the least
I had a moment's doubt about pulling that trailor but you got'erdone. Just a suggestion that you get two wat radios for coms between drivers and overseers. Those times when you callled for, "Stop, Stop, Stop", were not heard over the engine noises.
So we got a call. In todays episode:
MORR gets sponsored by Google,
TomTom almost loses a finger to the plasma cutter, and
Jake receives his cape and crown for being King of the Garage.
He said he hated mudding in his truck not yours.
Love your content!! We have followed you for years... my husband suggested that... Maybe carry a tarp to keep you out of the snow, mud or whatever you have to deal with. Thank you for all you do..
The "TOW" eye4 is never used in shipping to "TYE DOWN" the vehicle! It is only for rescue!
I really love how you help and guide your son into becoming a young man. In this day in time a large majority of fathers are absent from there responsibility oof being a daddy. You Mr.Matt are a very good father and man!
It’s cool seeing your boys grow up, gaining confidence, maintaining respect. Teenage years are so hard. Probably not always perfect but keeping it the opposite of Orange County Choppers is good wholesome TV… on my phone.
That Banana is a Beast!!! That was amazing watching that thing just dig that trailer right out. Very cool I love how you get out the way of your kids and let them learn how to do these jobs.
Really appreciate those weather Celsius conversions!
I think I've had my fill of mud rescues all in this one video. Good thing that's not normal for you guys. It looks like it will be loads of "fun" cleaning it, and will leave a deep pile of mud wherever it gets cleaned at.
Saw some guys in a Prius scraping down a road near the Browns Valley WMA near the Utah border. Poor guys started on the chip seal road that turns to gravel, then to dirt, then to one lane narrow road as it goes through the canyon. Went in by the swinging bridge, which is mostly sand on the way in from Colorado, but when you come in from the east it sneaks up on you. Was genuinely surprised how far that little Prius made it. They drove all the way over from Nebraska and Google Maps took them right down the path. Can't imagine that car looked very good by the time they came out.
The map on Google or other computer apps can put you in the middle of a lake if you're not extra careful.
Hey Matt thank you. I find nothing more enjoyable than seeing what you imagine. And the recent relationship with your son added something beautiful in the content on the idea of your son driving in the jeep is better than driving you (translation from Uncle Google) 🙃
I'm sure the trailer weight on the rear axle helped it get traction, but wow. I'm impressed at how well the banana pulled it out. That thing is quite the little yellow beast!
Thank you Matt and son for the adventure and seeing some beautiful scenery !
pulling that much weight in that slimy mud I have a new appreciation for the Mighty Banana!
That jeep is unbelievable, holy crap!
I have found that using an ice scraper to get all the heavy mud off first makes it much easier to wash the windshield off when you get to using water. That way a little bit of water wets the remaining mud enough that a brush will turn it into a really thin slurry that easily comes off when you toss the water onto the windshield.
im honestly just surprised that jeep even turns on & off.. id be terrified to take that out to the mountain with my luck it wll overheat or something as soon as its time to leave, IMPRESSivE
We just stayed out at Under Canvas! Probably very close to when you filmed this! I thought about you all as we drove through Hurricane! Told my wife and kids all about Sand Hollow and how people get stuck all the time!
I had drivers ed in the mid 80's in NW Minnesota. We were taught, giving it the right amount of gas & steering into the skid was more important than brakes.
Getting stuck can be life threatening.
Mn mid 70s but taught the same.
Every window up wile doing a recovery. Seems like a great plan to hear your spotter.
