@@danielhanson1434 I mean first attempt to this situation not his first time doing that. Because he did it several times, he can adjust his car from the first time. Others will have to do several trials until they perfectly align the hitch.
That's got to be the best trailer hookup I've ever seen in my life he literally went up inside of the trailer hitch with his ball while backing up that was amazing!!
No he went to far back, couldn’t drop the locking hinge, if you ever have hooked a trailer you know that once you lower hitch to ball , you must separate them by about 1/4 inch to latch
And it was all natural, like he had done it a thousand times. Then he stopped by at the beach and controlled the reverse with millimetric precission to dig himself a few inches to hook perfectly that trailer. I am truly amazed by all those skills!!
His biggest asset is he really knows how to drive and he knows how things work, he has no special equipment, it's not necessary when you know what the heck you are doing. Lot's of respect. Yes, the kinetic rope is his main "go to" tool, but they are readily available and not real expensive. This man knows how to drive off road, period.
If you watch enough, you’ll see that the banana is highly modified, with suspension upgrades and a purpose built stroker motor (upgraded from 4.0 to 4.6). So yes, Matt knows what he is doing off-road, but he has purpose built tools as well, as one would expect. The ability to modify the Cherokee platform and run it hard at a relatively reasonable cost is what makes is so attractive.
I few years there are going to be a lot of decked out Barbie Jeeps that have only seen a gravel driveway. Hopefully there will be stock grills available then.
I was totally impressed by that, never have seen anyone do that, and I’ve been around a lot of off-roading ingenuity in the midst of trail breakdowns over the years!

Same thing in the Tacoma world. So many of these people put tons of money into their trucks just to look good sitting in a parking lot or driveway. You never see them off-road or dirty.
Hey Matt, Can we get an interview style video with Ed just him telling his life story and some good stories? That’d be an awesome video I’d love to hear some prospecting stories.
Missed opportunity… “Our $100k Jeep is stuck!” “Yeah, sounds like a perfect job for our Corvair” “Your what??!?!” “Oh, don’t worry. It’s a station wagon.”
I'd stick with Matt's relatively stock (except for axles/differentials) ~'91, rudimentary XJ, running a stock inline 6. The owner would look at the XJ's capability and longevity, then look at his tricked, $100k machine and feel a little 'shrinkage'.
I was thinking the same thing. But then again, as previously mentioned, showing the Jeep owner that a relatively stock Jeep can can save his mall crawler did have a certain amount of "burn", too.
That's exactly what happens to a lot of Jeep owners but this guy looks like he has money to burn. I mean the auto dropping running boards c'mon. If he can buy them he'll just pay to get it fixed and if it breaks down so what? His biggest concern will be how long he has to wait to get rescued. But yeah I've seen some weekend warrior Jeep owners go off road, scratch it up a little and that ended that. Never again.
20 years of driving, living at the base of the Sierra Nevadas my entire life surrounded by wheelers, and never had the pleasure of seeing someone “dig in” to a hitch ball before. Looks like a freaking magic trick. Learning something new everyday. Subscribed!
"It's much harder to get the trailer if you unhook it when it's stuck in sand" *Proceeds to hook it up easier than I could if I was in a Walmart parking lot*
Its not the hooking that is the problem, but pulling a heavy trailer on soft sand from stand still, say he would not be able to pull it, if the truck remained hooked it was easier to pull them both because he could gain some speed and energy in the rope, rope acts like a spring.
Let's be real if he didn't put those super heavy rim and tires on his car he probably wouldn't broke that part. Oh wait I forgot it's a Jeep it would have brokeen anyways.
I really appreciate , enjoy the respect that you show to Ed. It's shows your quality as human beings that is one more reason that i follow you. Take Care.
Matt - I am always impressed. video is 12 minutes and the actual revery took 2. much like the time you saved me on cry baby hill, took no time at all! This is your calling :D
Matt and crew do some amazing stuff, but I'm seriously impressed with how he dug down into the sand and inserted the hitch ball perfectly up into the coupler. It always impresses me when someone does something difficult and makes it look simple, it's a sign of serious skills!
Finesse not FORCE! Matt you and your crew continue to amaze me. While in the Army in the desert when my units 5ton truck and generator trailer got stuck, I'd disconnect the truck and back in at an angle. Pulling the truck trailer away from the trucks rut always seemed to work. Having the truck out of the holes the driver made also aided in getting moving. I'm a grunt so I could walk away from any vehicle, but when it's your own support people, I had to help. You all are in my prayers. Watching you let a vehicle recover itself was a joy! Hoka Hey
Seems like it might be handy to have one of those hand truck things with a set of little wheels for moving around trailers custom made and reinforced, so if you got a stuck trailer that's unhooked you could just lock it into the ball hitch, attach a reinforcement bar to the trailer tongue with a simple clamp or u-bolt, lift the jack up to put the weight on the hand truck thing, and hook the recovery rope up to it. The part that hooks up to the trailer would have a simple pivot for the wheel underneath to rotate, and the wheel assembly would have a bar on the front of it for the strap. It would be steered by tracking wherever the strap is being pulled from, and that would be the limit of your control, but if you're in soft sand it'll be braking on its own and won't go cruising right into the back of the recovery vehicle. All you're really doing is supporting a castering wheel under the trailer tongue so it can roll when you give it a tow, it doesn't need to be complicated. Could be designed in a way that breaks down small for storage and adjusts for different trailer dimensions, just toss it in the back if you get a call that involves a trailer.
He probably hitches his trailer often enough. I know I only use my camera for the last 6", until I loose sight of the ball under the hitch. I do hitch onto trailers almost daily though.
Practice makes perfect. Used to be able to put the pintle hitch RIGHT into the ring with an F-550 Crew Cab I used to pull a hydro excavation trailer with every day at work several years ago - helped that it was at like 5 or 6 in the morning when I was still half-asleep waiting for my Mtn Dew to kick in - it's just repetition and going by the force at that hour of the morning.
yeah Matt is a really good driver. How about how he got that Jeep back up the hill going back and forth and used the rocks, gravity and his brain. It's not rocket science but it worked. That's what I like about this channel. It's a lot of simple common sense stuff. Nothing too high tech but it works.
It's crazy, one minute you're good to go & the nxt you're completely stuck! That sand is hard to read even with a 4x4. We'll get em out! Nice job Ed & Matt. Happy trails 👌😎🇺🇸🌹⚓
Man, Ed still has the touch! I know plenty of people who'd have somehow managed to rip the rear bumper off that car. Nice throttle control. I bet you get a bunch of people in the sand who could just get out on their own if they'd turn the damn traction control off.

love your little tricks with the rock jam, it's the simple little things that we all overlooked as we go. but remember a little bailey wire goes a long way or duct tape is every handyman go to. love your channel can't get enough of it.
it never ceases to amaze me at what you can do with an XJ, this last winter we had a hard freeze and heavy snowfall in oklahoma and i flat towed my roommates F350 to the diesel shop roughly a quarter mile from the house because his fuel tank jelled (-20 for the lows overnight and his fuel was treated, but not for the temps we got vs what was predicted), behind my '91 XJ, the rocks to control steering were a surprise and i noticed BSF mentioned the ratchet strap method, I've done that one time before and it works really well
I will never understand the concept of putting big rims on Jeeps. If you want 20 inch rims then you better find some 60 inch tires. Sidewall is your friend.
I'd like to see at least one of these drips that lower their jeeps or put big wheels on them turn them into actual street trucks, like those boosted single cabs on drag beadlocks
I am at a point now, where I believe to have gathered a bit of the theory (e.g. „when stuck, don‘t unhook a trailer“), but it still keeps revealing more valuable info every now and then. Thanks for sharing your experience Matt and crew.
Rudy was correct wanting it out of 4WD to get it on the trailer. The front wheel was climbing over the rock rather than pushing against it. They got it done, but he was right.
Love the pics of Jeeps in their natural environment (on a trailer). Just kidding. I bought my modified TJ with 46k miles (brand new trans) 16 years ago and aside from that it’s been rock solid.
That’s exactly the kind of Jeep I would expect to find broken on the trail.
That’s not exactly the kind of Jeep I’d expect to see outside of the mall.

Driving in reverse in the sand is crazy
That was literally the most perfect "hitch ball into the trailer receiver" backup ever.
That would even take Block 3 or 5 tries and 2 sets of tires.
Add in the precision dig-down to align the level!
Practice makes perfect good spotters also helps it's harder to do alone with an old truck without a backup camera
Just want to acknowledge how clean that trailer hook up was.

He probably hitches his trailer often enough. I know I only use my camera for the last 6", until I loose sight of the ball under the hitch. I do hitch onto trailers almost daily though.

Used to be able to put the pintle hitch RIGHT into the ring with an F-550 Crew Cab I used to pull a hydro excavation trailer with every day at work several years ago - helped that it was at like 5 or 6 in the morning when I was still half-asleep waiting for my Mtn Dew to kick in - it's just repetition and going by the force at that hour of the morning.
@@benmartin1727he was hitching customers trailer. No practice
8:18 "You lifted up onto the ball !" Matt gots skills !! (and a little luck on that one ?)
yeah Matt is a really good driver. How about how he got that Jeep back up the hill going back and forth and used the rocks, gravity and his brain. It's not rocket science but it worked. That's what I like about this channel. It's a lot of simple common sense stuff. Nothing too high tech but it works.
@@tommywallbanger ... It's rock science!!
It's crazy, one minute you're good to go & the nxt you're completely stuck! That sand is hard to read even with a 4x4. We'll get em out! Nice job Ed & Matt. Happy trails 👌😎🇺🇸🌹⚓
8:16 Precision loading up to that trailer hitch there Matt ... Awesome that
You guys are great with Ed!! He certainly is a member of your recovery team!! Good for you Matt!!
Man, Ed still has the touch! I know plenty of people who'd have somehow managed to rip the rear bumper off that car. Nice throttle control. I bet you get a bunch of people in the sand who could just get out on their own if they'd turn the damn traction control off.
Yes traction control is a joke, unless it brakes the spinning wheel to make a posi & doesn't cut throttle
Goes back to my younger days.
"Chrome don't getcha home"
to quote my dad.... "...but it'll getcha laid."
@@matt_queso idk, mon. Girls today seem more impressed with weed than chrome. Just sayin’
@@tomdavis3038 not where I live, we just have weed stores around here lol. Old lifted 4Runners, Broncos, Landcruisers and Tacomas are popular with the ladies in my area.
Matt likes rocks, used them in other recoveries as welll
Just love to see Ed driving. Some folks are too keen to get us less young ‘uns off the road.
Good job Ed 🇷🇴🇬🇧👍🏻
These guys are the best. I have come to learn, I dont know shit. The skill level here is top notch. What they may look easy, can be more difficult than believed. Off road magicians. Thanks for the videos!
The videos are also edited so only they know the troubles that get cut out of the video
Matt, your "grass roots" understanding of things automotive never ceases to amaze.
That was a smart way to get that jeep back up that hill!!! And the smoothest trailer hook up I've seen in a super long time!!!!
You guys are so very professional. I like your non-judgmental approach to your videos. You help out oh so many people. Thank goodness you are there in the territory!
You have to love ED especially when he narrates what’s going on. At his age and is on you tube love him.
love your little tricks with the rock jam, it's the simple little things that we all overlooked as we go.
but remember a little bailey wire goes a long way or duct tape is every handyman go to. love your channel can't get enough of it.
it never ceases to amaze me at what you can do with an XJ, this last winter we had a hard freeze and heavy snowfall in oklahoma and i flat towed my roommates F350 to the diesel shop roughly a quarter mile from the house because his fuel tank jelled (-20 for the lows overnight and his fuel was treated, but not for the temps we got vs what was predicted), behind my '91 XJ, the rocks to control steering were a surprise and i noticed BSF mentioned the ratchet strap method, I've done that one time before and it works really well
That was smooth... Ive never seen anyone hook up to a ball trailer in reverse
The answer is spelled with 4 letters......
MATT.
I did it, but it was with a backup camera! 😂
@@mediocreman2 that's cheating! Lol
Nothing beats a xj going to rescue a wrangler
Hey don't do TJs and YJs like that. Don't lump us in with the LJs
Thats what happens when it's bought not built.
@American Pride It's a Jeep thing. Sort of like a modern Denali Edition coming to the rescue of an old K series Blazer
You spelled "Jeep rescuing a Fiat" wrong.
Cool seeing the bad banana towing the fancy new Jeep.
Matt, I know you’ve been doing this a long time now and know all the tricks, but the rock to steer the keep.... wow. Mad skills
I will never understand the concept of putting big rims on Jeeps. If you want 20 inch rims then you better find some 60 inch tires. Sidewall is your friend.
Or Trucks.
I'd like to see at least one of these drips that lower their jeeps or put big wheels on them turn them into actual street trucks, like those boosted single cabs on drag beadlocks
37's are the MINIMUM on 20's....and thats just for looks!
Probably to get better mpg on the streets because you know they aren't taking them off road. This guy tried to wheel his once and he broke it.
i have 280/70R18 33's on my Ferrari
An Ed adds another skill to his credit. What an amazing guy. Matt and Ed make a great team.
I am at a point now, where I believe to have gathered a bit of the theory (e.g. „when stuck, don‘t unhook a trailer“), but it still keeps revealing more valuable info every now and then. Thanks for sharing your experience Matt and crew.
20" rims & skinny tires ? Not a good off road combo.. but Matt & the crew got'em out.
Thats why went bang lol
I was just thinking that as I'm watching for the first time. I can't think of a legitimate use for that.
I saw that too.looking pretty won't get you out.
So what ricer mods do you want for your wrangler!
"All of them!"
That hook up to the camper was sweet.
That backing to the hitch job was A+!! 😂
Love this channel what a great small family business lots of love lots respect going around in that crew!
I suspect the jeep got into a fight with a rock, and the rock won. Love the dog helping film at 4:54.
That's one impressively ugly Wrangler, though at least kudos to him for taking it out there.
Agreed. The only good jeep is a dirty jeep
That is simply the ugliest jeep I have seen in a while.
I can't believe he didn't rock the angry eyes grille. He had the whole package otherwise.
If i ever paid that, it sure as H would not be white.
i will give him props for no angry eyes, though.
That trick to straighten a wheel by placing a rock in front of it is pure genius.
Rudy was correct wanting it out of 4WD to get it on the trailer. The front wheel was climbing over the rock rather than pushing against it. They got it done, but he was right.
$100K could have been a bit better spent, but I respect him getting out there
A bit? That's pretty kind of you.
Like the rock trick for turning the steering, sure as hell beats kicking the crap off them.
best trailer hitching job ever Matt 👍
That jeep is a pavement queen! With those tires and rims!
Just because it cost more does not mean that it is better !
Pretty mall crawler.
Lot’s of people do not have this logic. You would break their reality.
You usually do get what you pay for..as a rule of thumb.....sometimes, every time.
@@paddington1670 looks like the one thing that wasnt upgraded broke lol
1:17 I didn't know Guy Fieri owned this Jeep.
Exactly what i thought.
Breakdown in Flavortown
Saw the then paused to look for this comment!
Hahahahahah. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw that “Guy”. Then I came here looking to see if anyone else commented on this. 😂
Love seeing Ed behind the wheel, he is a class act! Is there anything Ed can't do?
Money can't buy taste, that's for sure.
Probably not even paid for. Most people gotta finance the tires
No shit
Tire finance that’s funny in NC they have buy here pay here wheel stores
And rent wheels for the week end
@@717weston really?
Also can’t buy common sense
Love the pics of Jeeps in their natural environment (on a trailer). Just kidding. I bought my modified TJ with 46k miles (brand new trans) 16 years ago and aside from that it’s been rock solid.
I need to appreciate showing old folks cool new stuff more. All parties involved get a kick out of it.
That Jeep was built for mall parking lots not the trail.
At least he had it offroad. A lot of them don't even get off the pavement.
@@DamageLink modern jeeps especially the one in the video are the epitome of small dick energy
I call them Barbie Jeeps.
10:05 “we did a good job”. Class act, “I” guys never win.
No I in team, but theres not M without Matt
Always amazes me how you know how to get these vehicles unstuck!
Years of experience the company has been in business since 1977 with no damage claims towards them
Matt definitely has skills and experience, nice job hooking that trailer 🤙🏼
That little jeep never ceases to amaze me
A Jeep built for crawling malls call the Banana built for recovering everyone!
Out in the desert, it's worth nothing.
15k custom offroad Banana build wins over 100k...😂
Arrogant.
