    Got to hand it to Matt for being "cool" about the cancelled tow! He couldn't say it but I will! It's pretty pathetic when people show NO consideration or common courtesy to these small business owners and the costs that they have to "eat" as a result! Unless they're completely clueless or living under a rock, they know damn well how much fuel is these days! Also, their wasted time when they could have been helping someone else!! Personally, I wish Matt could have charged them a trip charge for NO reason other than their complete lack of courtesy NOT shown to MORR! HUGE atta boy to Matt and and his crew for always being the class act professionals!

    Matt. Without a box on the trailer maybe you need a Go Bag for the trailer that always goes with the trailer no matter what vehicle is pulling it and carries all the pieces you need to use it. Straps, battery box, whatever. That way you don’t need to forget more than one item whenever you need to trailer something. Just paint a gas gauge (on empty of course) on the side of the Go Bag!!

    I'm sorry. You're video made me cry today. My dad was a very helpful mechanic. Back in the 80's I remember hanging out with my dad and watching him be a mechanic. He also helped out the ones that were stuck. Stuck in mud,snow or sand... He was much like you, making the impossible way out POSSIBLE! I tried to follow and learn as much as can. And now I regret not learning what he knew. I'm having issues with 3 of my vehicles and I wished I would of learned everything about under the hood... I lost my kind dad 3 yrs ago and miss him A LOT....

We learned after our hours stuck in the 120° heat that you should have at least five(5) gallons of water per person with you in that desert. Son in law hiked out for help and the bottom of his high dollar sneakers melted off. I tried to get him to let me send them in for replacement, but he would not let me. Come on $%^& shoes; can't your sneakers stand the heat.

    Hey Matt! I wanted to share a method of tow rope control. I Love your videos! Brings back a lot of grand memories of our gang getting stuck in places you would LOVE. Up here in the Pacific Northwest, we have hundreds of miles of old logging roads and trees so dense it makes finding a bonfire at night a challenge. So find an old stainless steel 102-inch whip antenna with the giant spring on the bottom that was used for CB Radios back in the day. Put a bracket next to your receiver hitch to mount it by some method that is easy to remove. Cut it at about the halfway point and bend the end to resemble a spring. Now when you use the rope, twist it through the spring end and when you are towing and let off the throttle it will lift the rope. When the rope lifts it will help keep it from dragging and give the person in the vehicle that is being towed a visual indication that you are slowing down. Not sure how heavy your ropes are but it worked fine with the 1inch Tow/Mooring Hauser line I used for snatching vehicles out of the mud.

      I know. It's kinda funny. I wonder how many winches he owns at this point lol. I'm surprised he wasn't into them at first considering he runs a towing business, never seen a flatbed or wrecker without a winch 🤷‍♂️

    • @KarlEller
      @KarlEller ปีที่แล้ว +3

      His problem was never with winches, it was with how the winch was originally mounted to the Banana with the hitch mount. It was heavy, it was awkward, it stuck out, he had to remember to put it in the back of the Banana before heading out from a recovery, and he had to mount it and hook up the battery every time he needed it. Most recoveries, by the time he has it set up and ready to go, he could have snatched them out already.
      Now that he has the winches properly mounted, it's always on the front and ready to go, there's no faffing about to get them ready, just pull the line out and hook it up.

    You could probably cure that roof rattle on the Golden Nugget by cutting up a bicycle inner tube and sandwiching it between the roof supports and the rood. 3M makes household door molding tape that's compressible too. PS If you have an aftermarket computer for the engine, I'd still call up the manufacturer to ask them for advice on what might have caused your alternator problem. Even though you fixed it with a regulated alternator, whatever setting (or input) that caused that issue might still be affecting other parts of the system that the computer controls.
