Consider putting the keys in a zippered pocket! Otherwise we’re going to get another birdhouse.
That was my first thought when Tom put the key into that big ol' pocket. Disaster looming!
Or use a lanyard with a big tag orange on it.
My thought exactly. Somebody needs to stitch a lanyard in the work jackets for customer keys … especially for snow jobs!
Was thinking the same thing!
Tom-Tom has improved, but has a long ways to go - LOL
You want a birdhouse!?? Cuz that's how you get a birdhouse!
Upgrade the Bombi then engineer some lightweight skids that could be assembled/adjusted on site to match track width & wheelbase then float the towed vehicle out without sinking in and dragging axles, etc. Great episode!
Would have to figure out how to stop the vehicle with out running into the back of the bombi.
Just put tracks on one of the jeeps like the man up in Oregon.
I used as Thiokol Imp years ago,they were intended for transportation in very minimal terrain.
@@shawnburby4869 just putting skis under the front wheels would help enormously while allowing for breaking.
@@genenovacek1770That's what Matt's son is currently doing on his channel. So they'll have them available.
Robby Layton just tossed an old car hood under the front of the vehicle being towed. Worked great.
Those guys at SNORR are the real deal. Helped me and my family out of a bind when the 4 wheel drive malfunctioned on my Toyota. Awesome group of gentlemen!
The upper radiator hose has a hight arch and is the highest point in the cooling system so it is very likely that you have air trapped in the cooling system. Your radiator or filling point shout be located in the highest point of the cooling system.
Yep, that hose run was always going to play up. The Bombi became a bomb bee. Lol.
@@dartmoordave lmao
I burnt my hand/arm doing what he just did. Had a huge ulcer the whole length of my arm
The radiator fan pushing air through the radiator witch is very ineffective, especially when it suck the heat from the engine bay.
Little tip from a Canadian, next time you get a deep snow rescue build a road. Go back and forth a bunch of times to pack the snow the best you can before start the pull.
Oh I see what you’re doin dere, ya kno dats not the way I would do it; eh?
@@matt7164Will see you at Tim Hortons.
I love the engine/transmission swap idea. Maybe adding a winch or two might be a good idea as well.
Only worry is Matt might then tear the tracks off the thing, but yes needs something a bit more robust to power it.
Yes, a winch front and rear and a much bigger radiator to keep the darn thing from overheating.
@@bigdog5217right, winch front and rear you can hook to a tree and no stress on the tracks.
@@ztwntyn8 This was my logic as well.
@@ztwntyn8 then you have to worry about the frame. Theirs always a weak point. Most cats have thin frames to stay liight.
Tom-“it hasn’t got a lot of love this year”. It’s not a new issue. The poor Bombi is the whipping boy of MORR 😂
BTW- Someone send Matt a snow broom.
Please!! For everyone else’s sake.
Love Matt's "victory pie" or orange in this case. Reminds me of my Dad's tradition during WWII: He was a B-17 radio operator/gunner and his tradition on his 25 missions over Europe was to bring a chocolate bar (Snickers?) and put it between the vacuum tubes of the plane's radio so it wouldn't freeze solid during the mission. He only ate it once they were returning to England and safe from enemy fighters and flak. He said those were the best tasting 25 Snickers he ever ate! Keep up the excellent work!
over / under how many scratches from matt moving snow off the hood. #7
Hi Matt I am from Québec Canada where there is quite a bit of snow, and if I can give you one advice is that you should always break trail first before trying to tow an other vehicule. It would have made it much easier on the Bombi. And when it really deep you pack the trail, let it freeze over night and resume recovery the next day. Good job, I really enjoy watching you video.
X2 on that comment 👍
Cheers from Northern Sweden
Thought the same thing!!! On sait comment ça marche nous autres au Québec!!!
Breaking trails first would more than quadruple operating costs as well as triple wear and tear on the equipment
I’m stunned that that bombardier could drag that pickup through the snow.
Oh, come on, you are trying to spoil all of Matts fun getting stuck and breaking down in the middle of nowhere. lol
It's nice to see Jay and Silent Bob are back film making. A little more wholesome this go around.
🤣
Your video of the beautiful scenery is awesome. It was a really cool trip that you took. Don't forget Lizzy and Tom - they add a lot of character to your show.
Matt scratching the paint off with the shovel and lizzy hitting Rev limiter is the best thing ever
And using metal shovel to clean window.Hell i scratched the hell out of windshield with a plastic scrapper
I died a little inside watching that.
gotta be easy in snow
I cringed 😬
Glad i wasn't the only one who noticed
Love the ambition everyone has to fix up the Bombi when ever you put her to work and find all her deficiencies. Looking forward for all the progress videos! Hope they happen this time.
I love the interaction and comradery between Tom, Matt and Lizzy.
Matt's new motto? "That'll never happen." TomTom: Pants pockets are for keys. Jacket pockets like losing them for you. 🙂
good point. sometimes you take off your jacket at work.
now if someone's removing their pants at work...
@@electrontube ...then you got ANOTHER problem, right thar
The shovel on the windshield hurt
Why would anyone do that.
Great video. It's been a minute since a recovery has been made showing Lizzy in her natural transportation state of sleeping during transit. ;)
All in all, looks like a good time. The whole crew really comes together. Myself being from Alaska, I cannot wait to see the upgrades to the Bombi.
Been missing the aerial video - nice job on the video guys / Great recovery the Bombi held up well despite for what its "intended use is" / Matt , TomTom and Lizzy - to quote Ed : "we'll get 'em out"!!
nice run that shovel across the windshield and hood Matt!
Glad the customer left the wipers up, it makes a difference when they are not frozen to front glass!😃 The tiny shovel seems to out of place in fluffy snow. I'm sure it't great size for heavier stuff like wet snow, mud or sand.
Another interesting adventure!
Oh my goodness gracious me, that shovel! The sight of Matt engaging in such an act of treacherous tomfoolery with the windscreen has left me with a feeling of great consternation and perturbation. My delicate sensibilities are quite overcome with worry at the thought of him carrying out such a hazardous endeavour without due care and attention to the risks and consequences thereof. The prospect of that windscreen encountering some calamitous fate or suffering some unfortunate mishap leaves me trembling with apprehension and unease. In short, my dear fellow, please desist from such recklessness and refrain from placing windscreens in harm's way.
LOL classic. So many people freaking out about it.
@@roger205000 Upon reading the comments its mostly aimed at the paintwork and tbh that truck looked immaculate So to scratch up paintwork with a shovel is kinda dumb..no?
@@OctaApe yeah i cringed at thought of paint job and shovel too, but it was much more fun to read it Gilbert way "Tomfoolery" !
The dynamic between Tom and Matt is perfect !!!
Looks like a really nice Tacoma, can't believe Matt used a shovel to clean the snow off of it lol. I would be pissed.
Don't worry matt never seen it he was too busy looking into the camera. Lol posing his ego for the camera.
He did the last bit by hand, no damage done
@John the video doesn't lie. Just because he "did the last by hand" doesn't wash away the first part... your logic is a bit off my friend. 🤦
@@theuglytruth8162 Cool! Good to see you trolling more than once on this video!
I keep checking for you content but can never find any, what's up with that?
Are you too consumed with your relationship with Matt to post any content?
@@theuglytruth8162 With all the things to watch on youtube, why do you watch videos of people you don't like?
Lizzy just gunning it on the rev limiter was just gold 😂😂
That's what rev limiters are for, afterall.
On these deep snow recoveries it would really help you guys out a ton to air down the stuck vehicle's tires a bit to help with traction and float. On that Tacoma you could have easily gone down to 15-20psi without risking popping a tire off the bead and it would have made a huge difference. I regularly drive my tundra in snow that deep and air down to 8-10PSI without issue and the amount of float and traction gained is remarkable. Love what you guys do! Keep up the amazing work!
I was thinking the same thing. I've had my frontier with the same size tires down to 8 psi before and it works wonders. Just don't rev the crap out of the engine like lizzy was doing there. That's how you debead a tire.
Matt has mentioned previously he doesn't like to air down the stuck vehicles because of liabilities
It is all about the drama show now, though. Can't let logic or reason get in the way of the drama.
@@joma13344 I like Lizzy, but if I saw them coming to recover me I would politely decline to let her drive my vehicle. She is really rough on stuff because she doesn't know what she is doing. A 5-speed automotive transmission is not the same thing as what she encountered on tractors in her youth.
@@mrmotofy Matt worried about liabilities? ... he didn't appear too concerned about damaging the customers vehicle.
Tom Tom is ALWAYS the Voice of reason.
He is such an amazing asset to the team ❤️👍
Is this TomTom's wife? 🙃
@@DukeRivers I have never seen him with ANY wife, that woman, Lizzie is already married to a Cowboy dude she met at the Rodeo.
@@keithscudder7136 Tom Tom is married
I agree Tom has been an awesome addition to the team. I love hearing what he has to say.
I feel like if you put that much power to the final drives, they're going to explode. An inline six would probably be a better option if there is room, and a much bigger cooling system to support the larger engine. But I don't know anything about snowcats so maybe I'm wrong. Excellent recovery as always and glad the little Bombi made it out.
I was a Trustee of 4x4 Response UK, at the time we had 1500 members, Not only do they perform free off road recoveriess but are initially tasked with aiding Bat1 and 2 Services, Police, NHS, Ambulance Services etc. So I am well aware of how much it means to those in need. Big thumbs up to SORR.
Matt shoveling snow off the customer's windshield and hood with a shovel?? Ouch!🤨 Right after 11:03 you see/hear the shovel hit the a-pillar on the pass-side.
My new favorite channel. Everyone’s got a great attitude, fun personalities, entertaining conversation, and I learn stuff (well, mostly what NOT to do when off-road)!
LOL Love your show guys. I've been binge watching all day. I've been a 4X4 and heavy equipment guy for 45 yrs. I've had some beaters but I've also owned a few new trucks . You made me cringe on this one MATT! Scraping snow off of the hood and windshield of a brand new vehicle with a metal shovel......Really!?!? OUCH! That's gonna leave a mark! LOL
Good MORRning everybody and thumbs UP to Matt and crew! 👍💯
Shovel on a windshield is no Bueno Matt 😬
I just want to thank you for being a great role model for my grandson! He loved seeing you all today. We are looking forward to seeing you again 😀
EXCELLENT VIDEO GUYS......I can't believe how you guys ALWAYS make it back....so cool !!.... working together ALWAYS getting the job dun !!..... thanks for sharing this with us!
Love how generous and genuine you all are. Matt & crew it’s truly been awesome to see just what a couple years of consistency does and watch the channel grow to a massive level. Keep up the great work!
Shovel the snow out the bed so it’s not dragging.
Absolute incompetence
@@PD-we8vf wouldn't have mattered. The snow was over 3 feet deep, meaning the truck was going to sit on top of the snow regardless. The tires weren't even making contact with the snowpack.
Remember people, remove the snow from your windscreen before Matt turns up with his shovel.
Agreed. I cringed when he started shoveling the snow off of the hood. Hope it wasn't scratched! LOL.
No worries he is a seasoned professional 😢
@@mikekuczynski1552 A seasoned professional without the right tools. If I was stuck in snow I'd call Heavy D. first.
Right, that pained me to watch.
Yeah that was truly cringe. If I was the client I would be asking for the hood to be repainted and the plastic trim around the windshield he hit to be replaced. Between launching rocks into his employees vehicles and now this I'm starting to think Matt has little regard for other peoples things.
Looks like you have room for a square body radiator & Crown Vic Fan. Maybe Paul has one to donate for the cause. Its amazing the Bombie can handle what it does. I love TT's Idea of an LS, adding a desent sized aux cooler in addition to the one in the radiator should give you years of reliable service! It warms the fluid when it's cold but also equalizes temps better between trany & engine yielding a ton of usable capacity without any spikes. Fluids tend to last longer. Most people myself included don't change their coolant every 2-3 years & I know better! Even my transmission fluids get pushed out on my non towing rigs... I need to install drains in everything so there is no excuse lol... but I'm like you... I get busy with life & forget. Love the hand valves on my tow rigs... allows me to quickly install the clear tube & drain my oil into empty jugs... & not spill a drop.
Matt should hit Paul up for the Ron Davis radiator that he pulled out of the FJ. It may be great for the Bombi. Matt should have Paul and Ben overhaul that Ford Eco-Boost engine and add new sending units and gauges, so Matt has total control of the operation of the vehicle.
As far as the overheating goes, another thing that you may consider is the amount of air that is getting into the engine compartment. I would look into adding more louvers to the side panels and maybe include fans with temp sensors to them for added airflow.
Are you really taking the snow off the hood with a shovel!? 🤣🤣
Anyone else cringing at Matt scrapes the snow off the windshield and hood with that metal shovel? Lol
An aluminum shovel but, that means nothing to a; flaw seeker, fault finder and nit picker. Keep up the negative Brandon.
@@iguanaamphibioustruck7352 nitpicker is one word haha
I do love these snow rescues, being from Canada, and having shovelled a lot of snow (and packed snow down) for my parents' car to get out of the driveway. As opposed to murderous road-side cliffs, snow is completely innocent. 22:50 Need water? eat the snow. You are not in danger of hypothermia.
Matt crew you guys did a great job. It is so beautiful up there. I need to get that bigger radiator for the bomb B. Glad everybody made it out safely.
Matt has no sense of hot or cold apparently 😳. He is just built different lol. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride
He was overheating in the cab which means he's always warm.
@@mediocreman2 Logic
He explained it once on a doomed mountain recovery night. He just embraces the cold and lets it sink in. Stops fighting to remain warm. Very Zen IMO
I enjoyed the snow recovery. I’m from the north and as very familiar with deep snow. I’m amused by people that aren’t use to deep snow😊. Thanks for the video 👍
I believe Matt knows how to control his body because thoughts are things. If you think you are cold then you're cold. Matt has a good control on his brain meaning he is conscious of his behavior👍 and improving it.
"...it's overheating, but in an adorable way..." 🤣🤣 I love the way you all talk while you are working.
The tow truck games sound like they will be a blast! I hope all the other tow trucks in 3 states will be there for the people taking their stock SUV’s with regular tires at 35 lb pressure off pavement for the first time ever 😊 The logistics must be a huge headache. Hope it all goes great!
Great job on the recovery. Enjoyed the drone footage.
Upgrading the Bombi will be limited to what the remaining original parts of the drivetrain can withstand. None of it was designed or built to handle 300+ hp.
You need to edit out the use of a metal shovel on the painted hood @11:10 Other than that...Great Recovery!
It would have been helpful to have had Lizzy press and hold the VSC button to turn off traction control, activate the rear locker (trd offroad and pro models equipped), and press the A-TRAC button. A-TRAC works like ABS except the other way around. Instead of modulating brakes to keep braking traction it actually modulates brakes to keep accelerating traction. Im not positive if it works with the locker engaged, but I do know it got me up a steep and muddy hill in Wasatch Mountain State Park in a down pour where I had no way out but up. It sounds annoying, but works well. Before I activated it I was peeling out and sliding backwards. With it engaged I crawled up and out. At heart I am a 4wd purist (❤ mechanical). But sometimes these new fangled traction robots are actually pretty useful.
If in low range doesn't all that stuff happen automatically? Gm kicks all the traction stuff off in low range
A-TRAC and rear locker would get me out. It was high centered.
I was screaming at the screen for Lizzy to lock the rear diff too. To be fair though, it wouldn't have made much difference in those conditions.
@@Sc-jf3yk I believe if you turn it off while in low range it "remembers" that its off, so you'd have to turn it back on even after turning the car off/on.
I really wish they made it more self explanatory like "electronic lockers" instead buttons for VSC ATRAC DSAA RCLLC... like they are designing the traction control for the military and their love of unnecessary acronyms.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures! I live in northern Canada you need a snow plow on that machine, we use them up here and its makes a big difference in 3-4 feet of snow!!!
Nice one Guys
Yes dragging that Toyota out was very impressive.
Just a walk in the Park for Matt’s off road recovery
Very cool for sure thanks again
Hopefully part of the Bombi love package will be to add a plow to it. Would have been useful here, pushing off the tops of the ruts going up there, and pushing off the top of the snow to allow the tracks to groom the snowbed ahead of the truck tires on the way back to the main trail. OR OR, you could build new Bombi from scratch to suit your needs! 😉😉
How much weight would that add though?
You all make me smile. It is so good to see you all and the way you get on as a team and do sensible things that are well-guided by basic principles and with caution. The friendly banter among you is great to hear. I have a good time seeing your videos.
Get er done and that is sure what you all did. Nice job MORR. The off-road Olympics is going to be awesome.
Nice shoutout to SNORR.Southern Nevada Off-Road Recovery Volunteers. They look better geared up with winter clothes and winter boots.
Matt, standing next to them, it almost seemed like you were wearing a tshirt, shorts and flip flops.
As a Norwegian fairly used to snow and cold weather, I'm pretty impressed by Matt wearing short sleeves in these conditions. 🙂
He said it was 10 degrees.
A proper Norwegian wear short sleeves at 0 degrees Celsius.
@@dubious6718 10f is MUCH colder than 0c
@@MyLonewolf25 Watch the video, its 10 Celsius.
its 50F degreee.....not that cold
He's a husky boy lol
"So it is overheating but in an adorable way." That is 100% a Mattism.
I like that Mattisum , a Mattisum is a problem that could have been avoided but made much worse by Matt ignoring maintenance on his money making machine's.
Its a TRD! You guys did that recovery with an arm tied behind your backs! I was watching while screaming at the screen, “engage the rear locker!” See you guys at the wrecker games!
I read that the owner stated that by the time the Tacoma got to pavement all the dash lights were on and the truck would not even go on 4 wheel drive.
A cable got disconnected from the bottom of the truck.
Some radiator theory: Puking coolant is not boiling over; that's just venting. Boiling over is when the engine is so hot it is evaporating the coolant and showing steam coming out the fill port. This is "not cute" (as opposed to just flashing off the liquid on the engine from the snow, ie, cute). Water boils at 212 degrees at atmospheric. Matt's group is in the mountains, so boiling might be a bit less at mountain atmospheric. If you put your coolant at 50/50 antifreeze, which gives up to -20 F protection on freezing, you now get a boiling point of 223 F, which is better. If you put a cap on the coolant system rated to vent at 15 psi, you are now operating at atmosphere + 15 psi, and boiling point is now 268 degrees.
Small block Chevies, which were in everything prior to everything getting LS swapped, are rated to 250 degree operation. The reason the Bombi is struggling on cooling, like said, is because the radiator can't handle the peak load. However, if you put a radiator that CAN handle the peak load, the thing will never warm up and run well and give heat in the cabin, unless a proper thermostat is put in. A performance, hi flow, stat like a Superstat, set to something decent like 180, and a massive radiator, will keep the thing nice and warm during normal operations, but dump open the whole awesome cooling capacity of the new boss radiator when needed. It's always good to have extra radiator capacity.
Since Matt's group is rebuilding the Bombi, I won't send him an infrared thermometer to get accurate, on the fly, temps because it sounds like he's getting rid of the problem entirely.
I really like the snow recoveries. An upgrade to the Bombi would be cool to watch.
Anyone else cringing when Matt was using the shovel to clear snow from the hood?
I would love to be able to help you guys upgrade the Bombi. I have an idea for the cooling system, mostly being putting two radiator by the side panels. I would definitely suggest a snow shovel and broom. Awesome video, and its nuce to see the Bombi back
Another great recovery Lizzy thanks for all you do
Great content Matt and crew. Looking forward to all the love that will be showered on the Bombi when it's time comes. Thanks for bringing us along.
I really enjoy your content. Matts offroad recovery shines a positive light on unfortunate situations
What was funny was when Lizzie wondered if she could turn it on; as opposed to starting it, which was also in question. Seriously Lizzie's the best, even in snow pants.
My suggestion would be to check the head-gasket on the Bombi, as that could pressurise the water cooling system and give you the symptoms, you seem to be experiencing.
Also the temp gauge can be checked by just putting the sensor in a cup of boiling water, to see what the gauge shows.
I love this youtube channel above all others. Keep up the great work.
You guys are awesome! The fact that you service so much of the surrounding area is amazing! Keep up the great work MORR team!
I like TomTom and Matt's dynamic. They could probably build and recover just about anything and do it while staying cool headed.
The job was done with lots of fun and a heck of a lot of learning and I'm looking forward to the new and improved Bombi Bigger Badder and Badder. Please bring more shovels and maybe a brush for moving and cleaning off the snow!
My favorite recoveries are with the bombi. I look forward to these all year. Thanks for the great video
An aluminum 5.3 would work really good in the Bombi. The aluminum 5.3 V8 weighs really close to the same as that 4.3 V6 and puts out around 200 more HP. and 100lb-ft of more torque, and that 5.3 will do all that while getting just as good or even better gas mileage. The only thing I'd be worried about is breaking the driveline and tracks. If you can beef those up it would be an awesome little Bombi. You might even have to find it a new name, like The Ice Slinger. lol.
The Bombi is a cute little rig but it's out of its league. Kind of like cutting hay with a lawn tractor. Putting in a 5.3 would over tax the entire chassis. Beefing it up to stand it is possible but at a huge weight cost. How about tracks on the Banana or Morevair? Seasonal switch over like changing tires.
Nothing makes my Freakin Friday morr Freaky than a Friday Morning Matt Video!
The proposed LS small block is way too much horsepower for that little snow cat. You’ll be breaking and then upgrading every other component if you do that. Keep with something similar in horsepower and torque and get more cooling efficiency.😊
I am not an LS fan by far, but the new 4 cylinder LS might work for the Bombardier.
Did anyone else get anxiety when matt was clearing snow of the tacoma with a metal shovel?
Great recovery, concerning shovel work at a couple points lol
That's a good crew you have got up there! You, Lizzy and TomTom? Come on, that's a GREAT combination sensible smarts and old friendships!!
Everyone seems to mostly know what to do without being directed. That's the sign of a good crew who are good friends (and relatives) for many years! They all also know when to, and when not too, look at the pleasantly nerdy camera guys! At least in the edited final version. 🎬 📷
A really kind, funny and relaxing video, a good way to start my day! ❄️
Thanks guys! 🙂
The bombi should totally get an overhaul with a beefy engine and transmission. The team should just get crazy with radiator and transmission cooling, Tomtom can engineer the crap out of that. Lizzie has vividly cool looking eyes. The editing and drone shots were glorious. Thanks for the entertainment!!!
Hi everyone I’m watching from Quebec Canada. A tip for Lizzy to battle the cold is not putting your warm clothes too long in advance if you have a long car ride to do. Because if you are too warm and start to sweat before you go outside then you will feel the cold even more.
I agree, from 45.xx°N 75.xx°W. Cold weather dressing is all about staying dry more than anything else. Secondary is not having any skin exposed to direct air.
Fruit Of The Loom < Under Armor < Helly Hansen is the good, better, best list for your base layer. Fruit of the loom typically can't be worn just by itself, whereas most underarmor can, and about all helly hansen can.
I really hope we continue to see Matt, Lizzy, and Tom Tom as the consistent crew, with the other occasional featured guests such as Jefe, Jayme, Ed, exc.
And a cameo with Trevor in the near future. 📸
@@jeremylynch490 That would be acceptable.
To be honest, I don’t really care for Tom Tom. He kind of throws the dynamics off in my opinion. Was way more fun watching it when the other two guys were there. Guess for comic relief lol.
@@peterlindsay2869I agree 100%
@@peterlindsay2869 I think Matt needs to match Tom Tom's skill set and role. He might be better suited to calming the day-to-day chaos than to helping Matt with recoveries. Since Matt is so good at recoveries, having both work the same one seems like overkill.
Good morning Matt and friends from Minnesota, it's currently 12 below zero as I am writing this comment and I am so jealous of you having 40-50 weather! LOL
Cold in North Dakota. Minus 12 would be a heat wave here
MATT , I can only suggest next time using the bombo in deep snow like that that you drive back and forth or forth and back to pack the snow down . We have to when we are out grooming trails in are bombo , it dose help a great deal , and when we are out on the mountain grooming the trails for are ski resort with the PistenBully here in upstate eastern n.y .
An cheap infrared thermometer is a handy tool to keep in the glove box when working things hard. Especially old things they have dodgy gauges or sticky thermostats. Point it at various parts and see instantly if you have a problem. I keep one in the small tool rolls that live in my boat and on my tractor.
Great work/teamwork as usual. It's good to see that SNORR Jeep with chains on the front. Having lived in snow country (Western Wyoming) for many years we routinely chained up all around in snow and greasy bentonite mud.
Even then it’s sketchy
Great to see happy Lizzie again.
“Overheating… but in an adorable way” 😂
I’m excited for the bombie overhaul, it’ll be cool to see what goes into making and breaking it
Lizzie, winter tip. Don't try to start it before you look under the hood. Snow fills every corner and you can destroy the fan belts , water pump and alternator by starting a jammed-up engine. The fan can go through the rad before you've even done the first pull.
Also, drive the Bombi right up to the casualty to make a clear path, then reverse back a bit, cuts down on digging.
Ok, you used a SHOVEL to get the snow off the hood. My dad would've killed me. Lol
Can't you hear that metal to metal contact ? :)
Great video as always. I would like to mention a tip though (probably wouldn't have helped much in that situation but for future reference.) All Tacomas and 4Runners that say "TRD Off Road" on them have a rear locking differential from the factory. If it says "TRD Sport" then it's got a rear LSD. Hope this helps for future recoveries!
I was wondering why the back tires weren’t both spinning since it’s a trd off road.I know it has to be in four low for the electric locker to engage.
Somehow the snow/ice cut my abs wire mounted to the rear diff. Every traction control light on the dash was on. When it got back to pavement it even locked out 4wd. There was no atrac or rear locker option when getting the truck out.
It was great seeing the crew in my neck of the woods. Mt. Charleston and Macks Canyon have been my playground for many years. I'm amazed at how far you all drive to a call.
All other issues to one side, I NEVER cease to be amazed by the utter natural beauty of the USA!! Am coming over (from France) to give my kids a genuine US road trip in April, and the I simply can't wait!!
Lizzy hitting the rev limiter in first gear 💪😂😂
I'm putting a VW TDI in my bombi. Another thing you might look into is the differential cooler setup many bombis had, might help you with your steering brakes and longevity of the pads.
We have vehicles like that up north, "Bombardier" is the name if the inventor of the snowmobiles, and the first snowmobiles were like your vehicle, now they are used mostly for modern snowmobiles and off road trails maintenance and search and rescue. never seen one for vehicles recovery, but the 5.3 litres combined with a turbo-350 tranny is exiting, but I would add, rows of front and rear led lights some small on the sides, front and rear winch, or maybe a winch mounted on a tube to use in the hitch receptacle, so it could be moved front or rear, and a giant pair of aluminium tobogan to be able to put under the wheels of the rescued vehicle, and organise the rear rack, to be more useful, at least having the side you can open on each side, never saw one overheat, but here its very cold, maybe upgrade with a double core radiator, with double fan and have the sides open variably from the front side only, so it would funnel cold air to the engines and radiator....I see it all in my head but hard to explain! But eager to see you upgrade it!
What I would do to have buddies like you do, Matt. You are blessed.
I bet that Tacoma owner was very nervous, probably thought he’d never get it out of there! Amazing work!👍
More nervous about a shovel raking across his hood.
@@jarodstolz6282 Yeah that was a little iffy but watching it back it doesn’t look like the paint was actually contacted.
Reminds me of that one epesode of the Sopranos... wtf is he doing out there alone D:
🤷♂️what's worse a few scratches or frozen until everything warms up🤨? I know what I'd prefer
Matt brushed off his truck with a steel shovel. He got a free tow but now he needs a paint job on his hood and at least new trim around the windshield. It’s amazing how unprepared this guy is.
Ail of You all, are ADORABLE !! Great job,and successful recovery, Thank You.
Matt is a BEAR....Matt is a BOSS in what he does...In short sleeves, SHARP eye & PRECISE movements...He is on another league...Jamie & the kids should be utterly proud of their SUPERHERO!
Lizzy - pro tip - when your driving a manual in icy/slippery conditions, start in 2nd gear. It will bog down the engine and the result will be better traction to get moving.
