You are the winch master. Your abilities to winch things out that are stuck are awesome.
I'm a DOT Shop Foreman and I'm currenting trying to outfit our Western Star semi truck for recoveries. I've started with a Stallion (from Australia) 25,000 pound winch. Your videos have taught me ALOT!! Love the videos man!!
Stallion are made by Sherpa 4x4 here in Aus
@@HJZ75driver And it's been one bad ass winch so far!! I'm definitely glad I made that choice.
What you do with that jeep in the South Florida mud is incredible! Some people don’t know.
Respect!
I'm not a jeep fan, but that's a damn nice truck. I have learned a lot watching your videos, thanks.
It's not a Jeep anymore, everything has been replaced, that's what makes it a good truck, now.
Still has the 3.6 pentastar.. so still a Jeep.
@@chuckisbusydefinitely still a Jeep!
I love everything you have done to your rescue jeep. Keep recovering. 😊❤😊
Now that was a great video!!!! You have a lot of stuff I had never heard of - like that Taser system. I had no idea anyone was making something to get around the onboard computer systems, and I figured any mods resulted in lots of annoying idiot lights coming on. Clearly, you put tons of research and thought into what you did - with excellent results. That is no stock or average Gladiator!
I want to congratulate you. You have definitely built a very capable tank that I have seen bigger and supposedly better rigs that can’t do what you do with yours. I realize that a lot has to do with the operator but yours is definitely at the top of the list.
I tell my wife new toys are for the buisness too 😂😂
😂 that’s our excuse
@@matt.mckinzie 🤣 us guys really are all alike. 🤣 cheers
Hey if she can buy shoes, you can buy accessories to your vehicle.
😂😂😂
Bro shhhhh
Great video! Just goes to prove what JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket!!! I ordered my jeep in 79 and still have it. Will pass it to my son when I bite the bullet. Love watching your recovery techniques and if I ever get stuck in Florida I’ll give you a call. Thanks again!
Very nice build of the Gladigator.
I am a Ford super duty guy but I have always had respect for the jeep guys. I've always wanted a wrangler to beat the shit out of and the endless amounts of aftermarket parts for them. Then when jeep came out with the commander I was like okay a wrangler pickup I'm game. Just never pulled the trigger on it. That's a sweet rig you got there.
Matt. I'm Chevy all day but when you're "little" Jeep pulled that dozer out it blew me away! You know rigging. Hope I run in to you. I'm on Amelia Island.
You could be a salesman for ONX! I didn’t know it had so many features. Glad you covered the battery as well , you’re running a lot of electronics. A jump box would be a good addition if you don’t already have one.
We have one along with cables too
@@matt.mckinzie plan on doing anymore performances mods to the drive train ?
@@Danat-Monat we are doing a hydro assist and big bore steering box next
Enjoyed the details, openness and honesty.
I live in New England where' the average person needs rescuing from snow. The local "mudder" off roaders may have a few extra requirements, but not to your extreme. A couple of years ago, I found Matt's Off Road Recovery that focuses on sand and rock crawling recoveries. He has custom built his recovery vehicles that are optimized for his terrain.
Florida's geology is so very different with the water table being barely below the surface. Your Jeep Gladiator is well modified to accomplish the recoveries you have posted. It's amazing how "small" rescue vehicles properly equipped can get very large vehicles back onto the road using the right techniques. I enjoy watching you resolve these problems.
WOW, love the professionalism! It's nice to see some seriousness . Nice Jeep.
I do not like Jeep design. But you actually made it look good. I love everything on it. It looks badass!! That is how rubicon Jeep should be from the factory.
Good stuff as always. How much does it weigh? Also tire weight?
Ever had a need for a portable winch?
Why not use a competition 24v winch and double up on the batteries? They seem like such a timesaver
Without a crane, how do you get a higher angle to pull on some stuck or damaged vehicles? Do you just rigg off a tree?
Do you ever use a section of cable if the winch line can’t avoid rubbing?
Do you have a special setup to air down the tires?
Thanks
Love the fab 4s grumper window cover. You are actually using it for what it is for, not a SEMA truck. I have been waiting for this video for a while, what an awesome and functional rig! It bats way above its weight class. Great job and I love the videos.
Great video! I have been amazed at what you been able to pull out. As far as Hanson’ off road, you’re absolutely right! That was my experience with them from the empty promises and name calling. I haven’t got my rear bumper and may be out of my money. All of you reading this and looking at Hanson’s off-road stay away.
The drone on that exhaust would drive me crazy.
Thanks for the breakdown of your setup. I know Jeeps don't have a lot of space under the hood, but I would figure out a place to install a second battery. Along with a high output alternator. Great job on your fab work.
As a Jeep guy, the guard on the windshield is good in my opinion especially for protection of windshield from damage and electronics from sun. The grill one not my thing and might restrict air flow for cooling, but it's yours and your thing. Love your choice on front winch now that's the winch others are compared with. The company that was to supply the mounting plate must be the successor to the company that made my XJ rear bumper in 99.... full of excuses and only delivering when I got C.C. company and threat of lawyers involved.
Something to note is you and few other recovery channels are not into the "drama recovery" shtick.. Other could learn a lot by watching your recoveries and seeing that having the gear with you to do the job ready to go.
You are my top utube selection.
I've just discovered your channel I've watched 5 or 6 so far today. I'm locked in tight to the Utah guys now I have something new to watch, keep on keeping on.
If you had a V-8 in that beast it would be beyond cool!
Thanks! You have changed my opinion of jeeps, especially the pick-up model you have. Love your channel. Where does your knowledge of winching come from? Did you work for a tow/wrecker company? Keep it up!
Check out the mits alloy tops, i don't know if it would fit your build but they look tough and full of storage options
U got ur stuff together 💪💪i watch the guys out west do recoveries, seems they don’t use the winches and snatch blocks to their advantage like u. U work smarter not harder lol. Semper Fi💪💪
HAHA! I love that you bought the drill just to piss people off!! Thats awesome 🤣😂
Gosh, 5.38 gears!
That's quite a rig, my man. Well-built, lots of mods, incredibly off-road ready.
Very nice build. Clearly effective for its primary purpose.
I only have 3 critiques. First, the lights on the top of the windshield. In my 4 decades of off-road experience, unless you set your lights back on the roof, the glare of the lights off the hood is a significant impediment to seeing beyond the end of the hood.
Next is more anecdotal, but I'm not a huge fan of Mickey Thompson tars. Yeah, they look good, but based on consistent observation they just don't perform as well as other brands, Interco and Maxxis in particular. Crawlers like the bias-ply Treps while you'll see bouncers try the MTs like you have and then switch right back to the cut Swampers because they just work better.
Last critique, the Fabtech suspension. IMHO, my experience with Fabtech is that they are a deeply unserious off-road company that primarily makes parts for pavement princesses. I don't see anything obviously cheesy with your suspension setup but I'm a bit wary of anything that comes from Fabtech. Also, I'd almost lay down money on you getting a better ride out of a set of Foxes, Kings, Radflows, or even Billies over those Dirt Logics. Personally, I probably would have went with a Terra Flex kit. From what I've seen, they are a far more serious company when it comes to off-roading.
I don't hate the cowl/visor, but it does seem like it would reduce your visibility out of the windshield but the protection it offers might be worth it depending on the type of wheeling you do. I also don't hate the grille. To each their own I suppose.
I'd love to do what you do. I always enjoy the recoveries just a little more than the actual trail ride. You're living the dream. 😎
Good video. I like your setup. The only thing missing is some form of forced induction
I was getting worried about your maintenance, especially all the heavy work on the jeep. Now I have seen exactly what I thought all along, 😊.
Hey Matt, first of all thank you for doing this! It's really neat to understand what's behind the performance of your rig. Also, I was wondering if you'd be okay if I wrote a Wikitubia page for your channel? It's like Wikipedia, but for TH-camrs. It would only be based on what you say in videos or in the comments section, if you'd like an example I wrote one for Utah Matt's already.
We don’t have a problem with that
Ok you have answered my previous questions on the other videos so disregard them. Great build.
Awesome video. Great overview of everything. I'm glad you included links because I had so many questions about the details of some of the features. Thanks.
That Jeep is impressive. Love it 💪🏻👍🇺🇸
Great build. My Sport S gladiator is envious 😂. The Tazer is by far the best thing I got as well.
This is a video I've been wanting to see. Your Gladiator is set up well.
All of your videos are fantastic! Super practical info. I've been hoping you guys would do this one. I really enjoy hearing the rigging rationale and thought process when you pull up to a job. Great work on all of your videos.
Lot more done to it than meets the eye, very capable rig..Supercharged Hemi or LS would be killer.
Nice. Absolute Best of the best for deep isolated recovery in practically any weather conditions or any terrain type of the Flordia area. Your a badass. The jeep looks cool to.
I love the windshield cowl.👍👍
Thanks for the great walkthrough of your Gladiator. I have a one too and may copy some of the upgrades.
Agree with the impressive setup assessment.
what kind of engine do you have in your jeep stock motor size gas diesel , etc. any mods you did to you have done?
I agree it's not very attractive but knowing why makes perfect sense. Bottom line, very impressive no doubt! I have a 2020 Launch Edition with 37's with no lift, yet anyway, but not planning on going or doing anything as extreme. Thanks for sharing.
Finally!
We been waiting to mount the 8274 on the front before making the video
That’s what was taking so long
Probably going to have to link this video in every other video description to save yourself the same questions again and again.
That's still not going to do it. I mean, now he does have a video that explains everything. But more comments isn't a bad thing
Great truck. Thanks for sharing the details. Is your transmission the 8-speed automatic?
jeep really earns it. love it. I welded a half ton gmc, just for maine.. extra steel went way way further than I never would have computed. 5600 pounds is a drawback however.
You are doing an awesome work, mate. Watching you with pleasure.
Sending regards from Romania, Europe.
Gen 3 has an interesting dual battery conversion kit. Would there be any benefit for winching and your other auxiliaries, by "upgrading" to a dual battery system?
Great video, thanks for sharing. If you were to choose a different vehicle for this job what would that be? Or is Jen the best option?
I see you have prepare a beast of a jeep. Do you have anything else like cold air intake? Have you heard about Baxter Performance adapter that converts the filter into a spin on, I wonder what are your thoughts about it since you are very knowledgeable about jeeps.
Great break down of how the Jeep is rigged for recovery & it is so durable .
I just seen the new winchy in action with the forklift, maybe a good idea for that type of stuff to get a windshield cover just incase concrete wants to kill your windshield??
Gale Banks has a video about some diff covers w/ a design flaw for oil distribution. Sure, yours may be fine, but since the Jeep is worked hard. GL, enjoy the videos
Their video of the oil and diff covers is very informative
Well done, thanks for the details. I had no idea about that remote wheel lock unit - fancy shit there.
Can you tell us if you plan on doing anything to the vehicle's motor and what type of motor oil do you use?
Matt, could you show a picture of where the winch line comes through the bumper?
Just want to say keep doing what you do bud. I love your videos and I love the jeep. She's a beast
Looks amazing.
Dude, I love your channel. Love the mods you've made to the jeep. I had a bad opinion of jeeps because of Scotty Kilmers opinion of fiat made jeeps. You've proved him wrong. Keep up the great content!
Great video Matt ❤
Very nice setup! Thanks for sharing 👍
Awesome machine. I am a Matt viewer but I will definitely be checking this out. Thanks.. May have to go to Florida and get stuck. Good stuff.
you going to do the double motor in the front winch? they are good
Not sure if its coming up but curious to the amp size oif the alternator you are running?.. Ever thought of trailering it to some offroad parks up in the Smokies or even out to Colorado and Utah? Loving the videos...Going to keep watching to get my winching knowledge better
400amp alternator I’ll have to look up the brand
It is aftermarket high output
I did forget that in the video I apologize
You dont have to apologize to us, just keep making the videos and teaxching us how to use the pulleys and shackles correctly.... that is a lot of amperage at a low volts, below 30. Big wire@@matt.mckinzie
Awesome build. Love your videos too. How has the 3.6 treated you and what issues have you had? Also what's your maintenance look like? I just picked up a 24 and I'm looking for recommendations.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
We have one issue
One idler pulley crapped out around 60k miles
That’s it
Change oil every 5k with good oil
That’s it
@@matt.mckinzie , nice. Thank you.
Do you still have that crazy giant ford?
I love both your trucks tbh, both are super proven
Brilliant video, thank you.
Excellent & well explained video Matt. I seriously love your Jeep and I'd want it as is (PLEASE) it looks purposeful and it needs to function as a rescue vehicle, which it really does, you'd have to be really stupid not to see that there is no wasted gizmos on the truck, you know the job inside out and backwards, you knew what you needed and fitted it all, the only question I have is about the engine, you really do nail it and I'm surprised it keeps on taking it, have you done anything too it?
Nothing is done to the motor except high output alternator
One idler pulley was replaced
And regular oil changes
@@matt.mckinzie thanks, it sure sounds good when you nail it, which engine is it?
@@H4rleyBoy 3.6 gas
Super Rig !
Awesome rig!!! Very well equipped
I’m not a fan of the grill or the window contraption, but different strokes for different folks. I would never unfollow you over that. Those mods have nothing to do with why I follow you. I enjoy you and your content. But now that I know you did those mods for the reason you stated, I like them now 😂.
Them tars sang going down the road? 🤣
They were right, the world has enough jerks with angry eyes, so we need more people in Jeeps smiling. 😁
Have you thought about putting in a back up charging system in case your battery goes down?
What warning light bar are u running? Looks very bright
I was wondering what motor are you running in your Jeep?? It doesn't sound like a 5.7 Hemi. Was wondering if you have the is it the I think its called 392 ?.
3.6 gas all stock
This was my question great rig
Love the Jeep, Love the channel and Love what you are able to do with your rig!
Finally a video of your mods!! Thanks
I hate the angry eye grill way more than the windshield thing.
Thank you I was 1 of the many that asked 4 this
Excellent build and video - thanks for sharing! Maybe I missed it but did you modify the stock axle tubes to support the 40" tires?
I'm always impressed with your knowledge and quality of work. How much would it cost to duplicate a unit like yours in exact detail? Another great video!
Including winches is around 30k total in upgrades
@@matt.mckinzie How much would a new Jeep like yours cost? Ty. I'm curious what the total would be. I told my friend over 100,000.
@@jaylongton we paid 50k for Jeep and have about 30k in upgrades but that’s us doing all the upgrades ourselves
@@matt.mckinzie Thank you!
That looks heavy
Don’t like it but people said not to so we did….. love that! lol
I got a question... are you hiring lol
That’s a hell of a set up love it
Those Mickey T’s are awesome
I hate the visor, but if it works it reedeems it! I subbed because you did the grill to tick people off :) i hate it too, but its for a good cause
Im new to the channel really enjoy your videos!! You give new meaning to the phrase GOOD THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES!! but i do not see any kind on snorkel? How does it breathe under water??☺️☺️
I made a deal with my wife: Every new job or project that I get, then I get a new tool. LOL
Like your channel great content . Have question for you do you recommend any one around Ky to install warm 1200 platinum system like you have on you rig looks great . Looking to install in a 2024 GMC 1500
I’m wondering if you’re still running the stock engine on your Gladiator and who you would recommend to build a great mini J hook bridle that not made with chain?
Excellent
I personally like the whole front add ons. Makes it look mean. You just have a bunch of trolls who can’t afford to do it themselves.
