He knows his math. 2/1 on a 3-4/1 I didn’t pay attention enough, even for a atv winch is a whoooooole lot of pull. With a 10-12k it’s over 30. And that’s over 200% of that pull.
He should’ve said. Would you like to place a wager? If I can’t pull it out I’ll give you 500$. If I can you pay 100$ more. He had over 30k on that black truck. It was moving.
Sir idk why people would be upset you brought what you brought with out seeing for yourself as I call it actual eyes on " as in a professional " thanks and keep up the great content
They had every right to be upset they call their insurance company explain what happen and then we show up in the worlds smallest recovery rig known to man On average No possible way the jeep was going to do that So they were very concerned and rightly so Not many people can do what we do We have seen a lot of wrecker completing bigger trucks fail and winch outs and call in the super big rigs The point was we stayed calm explained to them that we will get it out and not to worry And turned a bad situation into a good one
@@matt.mckinzie I know thats what im saying they just got pictures not there eyes on it because everyone knows if they did they just gotten it out. But on a side not my question is would it have helped 9f it frozen more? Thanks
Matt You definitely know what you are doing. You understand the engineering and use of mechanical advantage of a winch used properly. Thank you for all your help. Best to you and your family.
Man oh man, when I 1st saw the camper framed out, my 1st thought was add 4 hurricane tie downs and call it done! Evidently this guy hasn't checked out your channel!
Nope he never heard of us, definitely was a happy camper 😎 when we were done and checked out some other jobs and stuff we did and gave us a 5 star review threw his insurance company We don’t get upset when people have little faith in our abilities Not many people out here doing more with less It’s a competition for biggest most expensive trucks in our area Which also comes with the highest service bill too
@@matt.mckinzie I ran a wrecker in Lakeland, FL on my days off. For me, I didn't have a lot of time to do elaborate rigging. I had two 24K Ramsey's and ground spikes on my wheel lift. There wasn't much I couldn't winch out.
Good deal man. I pulled a semi out with my wrangler one time he was just stuck on some slippery hard packed snow and ice. Everyone told me it wouldnt work. 5 minutes later hes back in the parking lot. Go figure. People dont understand every recovery is a little different.
There was a guy and his kid buried to the frame in the field across the street. He went in past signs that said no vehicles past this point. I used a strap, chain , snatch block with a come along to get him out anchored to a tree with a soft strap. He told his kid this will never work. I pulled him out in a few minutes and he beeps every time he comes by.
Pardon my stupidity, you may have answered this before and I missed it, what engine is in the Gladiator? You put whatever it is to outstanding use. Coming from the days of power wagons and the real Dodge wedge engines, I am thoroughly impressed. Thanks for the ride alongs!
That's why you don't send people like that to resolve any logical issue. It's what's in the back of the Jeep (equipment), the front and rear of the Jeep (winches), available to the tow-company driver (trees) and what's between the tow-truck driver's ears (knowledge and experience). Best to shut-up, stand back and let the man do his job.
nice camper/dodge recovery, ive always said i can pull anybody out up to 50k lbs they look at my jeep nothing special its a 2dr jk, with a 10k winch on a 12k winch plate. using snatch blocks is the easyist way. 2,3,4... what every it takes. as long as there's good ankors.✌
I know it was about a year ago But I probably know what's going on with the head lights The weight of the camper is bringing up the front end up out of focus.. Readjust the head lights
Fell in a septic tank, now they have to fix that too. Just rewire the harness at the bulb, shouldn't be that hard. Not the right way to fix it but it would work, obviously not under warranty.
Hey Matt would you care to go into more detail and show us what you are using equipment wise and what you’re hooking to. Thanks. Absolutely love the videos! Great work!
I feel like those situations, where ppl want to give opinions or skepticism. Always, should be immediately addressed with the ol. Well how much would you like to bet on it then? Cause then it’s a put up or SHUT UP.
Crapppy pull? lol on the camper job you said you would need about 12000 pounds pull. If so is the load on each of the parts 12000 or 12000 decided by 4?
Total required pull divided by the number of lines will get you the line tension Line tension is also the same as winch output For example if we need 12,000 to pull the camper and we ran a 4 part system Winch output and line tension would be 3,000
Nah the church told him to back up right there, they were gonna wash out somthing I don’t remember what they said Then 💥 fell in quicker then snot Nothing they could do after that was way too deep to try and drive out
@@matt.mckinzie No, I was talking about the guy next to the bridge buried to the frame in mud. Seems like you have been there before. As for the camper, nobody understands mechanical advantage anymore with winch and pulleys. I remember hearing an Army Engineer friend explain how they pulled out a Humvee buried to the frame in mud, by hand using this method. I'm glad you have mastered that technique. Did you anchor your Jeep? You didn't show that part.
@@RealJeep no we do not like anchoring the jeep. By not doing so we know our limits We have tested the jeep numerous times naked and know when it slides (Around 4500 lbs) With scotch blocks down it slides around 7500 lbs The workin load limits of the cable is 8000 So by not anchoring the jeep allows us to know we are around 50 percent of the safe limit And if we need to we can add the scotch blocks And then it will slide just shy of the safe limit Anything after that is overloaded and unsafe By tieing the rear of the jeep you do not know what your pulling
I know the answer to that go and buy a real truck like a CHEVY and you won't have that problem 🤣. No it's a real problem and had to do it. But go to any ford dealer and they can help you
That camper pull is a testament to the quality of your equipment and the level of your knowledge and experience, great job.
Thank you 🙏

I love it when people that don't know the first thing about what you do, are just sure you don't know what you are doing. You handled it well.

Awesome camper pull! Video was a year ago but would be happy to diagnose the headlights issues 👍
Ivan, my man
I'm impressed with your careful and thoughtful rigging, as usual.
Thank you very much!
Good thing you have trees in Florida...
Lots of tree in most places
And when there is no trees we carry pull pals as portable land anchors
These are the best recovery videos by far. Great job!
Multiple pulleys and cables. Awesome job getting the camper out 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I've never seen a camper on a service body. What a rig!
The baddest jeep on the planet!!!!!

@@RealJeep ram a truck similar awhile back if you know how to run it they can pull
God Bless you Matt, good job :o)
Would be a long trip to come to northern Utah to fix headlights. I've seen your work Matt, I think you could fix the headlights. (just a thought, lol)
sure they got headlights fixed by now but if not south main auto avoca ny can fix anything

Readjust the head lights
If they are passing threw KY tell them to look me up! We would be glad to fix them! Floyd's Garage and Wrecker Service London, Ky
They live in that camper and travel they said they would travel anywhere to get it fixed
We sent them your info
Great job ,,, think was 4:1 rigging , and only 1/4 load on winch , correct ?
Jeep was holding roughly 4,000 lbs
So simple terms we have 16,000lbs of realistic pulling force on the camper truck
Fell in a septic tank, now they have to fix that too. Just rewire the harness at the bulb, shouldn't be that hard. Not the right way to fix it but it would work, obviously not under warranty.
Yeah, they having someone come look at it
And we hooked them up with a few options for the headlights
Is it possible that that camper truck is not overloaded?
? How hard could it possibly be to pull headlight housing and swap bulbs?
Few people have we recommended new housings
They want to take it to a shop have it fixed and not fix themselves
That camper was huge, what do you figure the GVW was?? Great channel!!
Gvrw is 19,500 he was a little overweight
And found a septic tank
@Off Road Recovery. man that is heavy!! thanks for the reply!!
@@MontanaWelldigger no problem
@@matt.mckinzie the weight of a ww1 tank...pity the septic tank owner. The crxp just won't go down...
Hey Matt would you care to go into more detail and show us what you are using equipment wise and what you’re hooking to. Thanks. Absolutely love the videos! Great work!
Yes we want to start doing more details on the jobs.
Will be adapting here very soon got a long of plans coming together
@Taylor Long pretty easy to see, no? Just the regular stuff, winch extension, snatch rings, soft shackles, and tree saver.
Pulleys
im in central florida, ex dodge mechanic if they need work still.
