So far what I can tell just keeping it simple an using common since gets you around these recovery jobs pretty smooth. The device that U use to stop your truck while winching are they made out of steel. I have a rig I have been building for 8 months now and its a manual I have hydraulic winch in the rear and electric in the front. I will be installing a double line lock for holding but Do you think something like what you have would work for my application. My engine will have to run to use the rear hydraulic winch. Oh love your content. Thank you.
They do We also showed the drivers on how to use it and to check to see what roads were paved and which ones were not So they can find a good route to the homes they are delivering to
We never include a 4 minute commercial in the video ever For a long time we were against all commercials But in order for us to help people at no charge We have to include a commercial here and there You are welcome to skip it Or You can just block us it totally up to you But that 60 second or less commercial pays our bills and allows us to help people without charging them Which helps them in a bad spot Which also helps us get more jobs So we can make more videos for you Right now the job count is low But once we build it back up like we were in Florida There would be 1 commercial to every 20 or so videos
@@matt.mckinzie The day I sent the comment, I tried to watch this video, and there was a 4 minute, 12 second commercial before the video. It would not allow me to fast forward, and there was no option to skip it. I can understand a 1 minute ad, but not more than that.
No need to pull everyone out for free. You deliver a valuable service, and deserve to be fairly compensated for your expertise (greater than virtually everyone else on TH-cam, though equal to Rory) and your investment in your vehicle and gear. You have a family and a future retirement to pay for also. Love your videos, greetings from Australia.
Once on vacation in a Toyota Highander, GPS had me on a gravel road up in the mountains that turned into a 4x4 trail and then petered out to a dry creek bed with jagged rocks all larger than basketballs, drops of almost a foot, and limbs encroaching on both sides. No place to turn around. Didn't want go backwards (due to drops) and was only 1/2 mile from next real road, so kept going until I blew out the passenger front tire on a sharp rock that poked the sidewall. No cell coverage, sun was sun setting, and horrible place to change a tire, so limped about another 1/4" mile on flat where I did a quick change to the spare. In the end, was just an adventure at the cost of a new tire (no damage to the rim), but was looking very grim as bad choices became worse. Learned to never trust the GPS maps and not proceed where cannot back out.
There's a video of a car being pulled out of a lake because a woman drove straight down the boat landing and into the lake because she was following the GPS. Stuff like that just baffles me, what ever happened to common sense? It's a boat landing into a lake, where did she think she was going, or what did she think the outcome would be from driving straight into the lake?
Kudos for trying to get the load delivered. My concrete driveway is 185' long and 35' high and some of the delivery truck drivers just say undeliverable.
We've had delivery drivers in those full-size transit vans come down our dirt ATV trail following the GPS, or back into a drainage ditch, and had to static pull them out with the tractor. Mostly Amazon, the other companies have capable trucks and better judgment on the driver's part.
There's another day I was driving and the GPS said to go away and guess what there wasn't even a road there anymore it was an overgrown Forest so because I had to go several miles out of the way to get to where I need to go
Still think you justly deserve SOME payment, no need to work for free. Equipment, commercial insurance fuel, time, experience, skill... it's all a specialized service. you deserve compensation... you can give discounts or low rates... but you're only hurting yourself giving away a specialized service.... besides... equipment wears out & needs replacing too. know your value. :)
What model do you have? We used the Zeon platinum and it free spools good The Zeon free spooled awesome The 8274 hi speed one wouldn’t free spool So they just swapped it out so I need to put the new one on It was dropped by delivery guys and bent the shaft so can’t blame warn on that and they warranty it out
@@matt.mckinzie I have a 8274 and a 9500 lb power plant with the compressor, also 2 atv winches(2500lb) and on level ground I can absolutely pull the atv trying to freespool them. The truck winches aren’t much better. Maybe just bad luck
@@saltymofo5870 the 8274 is an absolute beast to pull out We have the axon 5500 sxs winch and if the wind is blowing hard enough it will pull the rope out The zeons free spool like butter as well But I can reach out to warn and see about the 2500lbs being hard That dosnt seem right The 8274 and the one with the compressor Are normal for those style winches
I have literally had an experience like this. I was delivering food in my town and the GPS took me down an access road behind a paper factory. The road went behind their paper waste "pond" . It looked like mud to me so I kept going in my 2wd Ranger, about a foot into this "mud" I realized it was paper waste because it stuck to EVERYthing and it was deep enough is was about 18inches deep. Like I said I thought it was just mud no big deal, well paper waste does NOT come off easy once it dries, to this day I still have globs of it falling off my frame. The paper waste is from those rolls of brown paper towel they use a lot in gas stations. Now I know never to rely 100% on google maps.
Arkansas??!! I wondered why there haven’t been any fresh videos. Best of luck and us in Florida will miss you. And remember, don’t try to run from ASP #pit maneuver
Dont remember which video it was in but wanted to thank you for showing how you cut down a loadlock to use to hold your brakes in the lock position. Made my own today and love it. The only bitch i have about your videos is that there is not enough of them. Thanks for posting and sharing your techniques.
Question?? I have Escalade ESV and I can't find a lift kit to get some off road tires to fit without rubbing. I have 285/45/22 BF Goodrich Trail Terrain TA now.
I’m glad you carry while you and your wife are out in the middle of nowhere helping out complete strangers! Maybe the NRA needs to sponsor your next video!
About 27 people attempting to do them as far as we know Could be more than that It’s the one negative of social media you have every guy in the state thinking it’s a cool job and wanting to do it
@@matt.mckinzieThanks. You have cool equipment. But your job looked rough. Mud, bugs and all hours. I really appreciate the math and thought you put into a recovery. Thanks for the advice.

That looks like a fun trail if you're not in a rental box truck!
It’s still fun if it’s not rented in your name.
NOT a rock bouncer!!🥴🙄🚫🤭
I’m glad to see you have protection with you being out in the middle of nowhere Love this channel
he also got a lesson on how to use rocks to keep from getting stuck
sometimes when you get into a situation you just got to get out and do a little thinking before you proceed
I can't help but wonder what kind of cargo is on that rental truck in the middle of nowhere.
Us folks that live in the middle of nowhere like Amazon just as much as everyone else.
miss u down here in j'ville. i see u still have ur fl tag. we needed u out at hugenot last weekend. capt frank here.
We still get calls for there every weekend
So glad everything was blurred, definitely didn't see that usdot # at 2:42 :)

In florida we both carry in case of the 🤡 that needs a safe space
Here we both carry in case of wolfs, bears, and snakes
The best off road vehicle is a hire truck

Now it's considered an improved trail.. Definitely shouldn't be on a GPS route..
Thanks Matt!
Grow up around there. There are roads that just stop in the middle of the woods ITS CRAZY
Your rigging skills are 🔥
Up for 6 hr and already 1,000 thumbs up. Nice. Good video.
theres no way he should have been on that road, the GPS often does that
That looked like amazing ppl bro why free Amazon has money make em pay
Offroading in the Amazon(box truck)!
Great recovery. What engine do you have in your Gladiator?
Stock V6
Wake me when something exciting happens.
I'm curious if ONX showed the correct road conditions?
They do
We also showed the drivers on how to use it and to check to see what roads were paved and which ones were not
So they can find a good route to the homes they are delivering to
So no one could help stack rock's
Somebody pranked them good.
Never fully trust GPS. Common sense is necessary when driving off of paved roads, especially with a cargo truck.
You guys moved to Clinton.I believe you sai grew up around those areas.Actually west sign and prim
Yep been here since march
No road budget, or did the property taxes go to someone else
Send me one like that 4 tourist visit kenya
I like your channel, but I refuse to watch a 4+ minute commercial in order to watch the video.
We never include a 4 minute commercial in the video ever
For a long time we were against all commercials
But in order for us to help people at no charge
We have to include a commercial here and there
You are welcome to skip it
Or
You can just block us it totally up to you
But that 60 second or less commercial pays our bills and allows us to help people without charging them
Which helps them in a bad spot
Which also helps us get more jobs
So we can make more videos for you
Right now the job count is low
But once we build it back up like we were in Florida
There would be 1 commercial to every 20 or so videos
Unless your talking about a commercial that TH-cam put in there
Well that’s between you and TH-cam

Happens more then you know
It does say enterprise on the truck and the driver did explore strange new worlds and boldly go where where no man has gone before! 🤔
Grade A recovery as usual; People are blessed to have ya around lad
Off Road Recovery AND Road Building👍👍
You have to admire their determination to deliver a package!!
My question is what kind of package are they trying to deliver?
What kind of package was he trying to deliver… lol
We love watching your videos. What motor is in your gladiator? And what kind of tires are those?
Stock 3.6 v6
Once again you do a job with one man and one truck that other you tube recovery teams would have 2 or 3 people.
Texas Rangers use to say one mob, one ranger, maybe Matt’s moto should me “one man,one truck”
This is why you can never trust GPS one they told me to go down the road and guess what it was a mud pit I got stuck

Keep up with the good work love watching you on TH-cam God bless
The worst part about calling for a recovery is being put on Utube and have to relive my dumbassness
The GPS powers-that-be should tighten up their lines. If I let my new truck auto choose the speed limit, I speed up to 55 in a school zone.
Self driving cars are going to be a menace.
Go into Google Maps and report the road as a problem.
@@gvsukids Done that. They are too big to care. Gotta look out for yourself, and others!

The only 4x4 box trucks are the ones used by Enterprise Penske and Uhaul. 😂😂😂 you can take em anywhere. No sweat
The GPS excuses lol. Nothing like a good old map book. People are more lost now with GPS than before.

nice to see you still on the road helping out when you can.
Good thing you stayed with!
hell they could of drove out of that if they knew anything about rock stacking
The GPS is always right!
GPS is wrong, but what about their eyes?!🤦
When y’all getting Arkansas plates?
I wonder what they were shipping😂
I'm just wondering why did you guys move all the way up there and leave Florida was it because of me lol
I wish Warn winches free spooled better, one of the worst winches for free spooling I’ve used. Good for pulling bad for free spooling
What model do you have?
We used the Zeon platinum and it free spools good
The Zeon free spooled awesome
The 8274 hi speed one wouldn’t free spool
So they just swapped it out so I need to put the new one on
It was dropped by delivery guys and bent the shaft so can’t blame warn on that and they warranty it out

@@saltymofo5870 the 8274 is an absolute beast to pull out

But I can reach out to warn and see about the 2500lbs being hard
That dosnt seem right
The 8274 and the one with the compressor
Are normal for those style winches
@@matt.mckinzie 10/4 man, I haven’t bought any new warns because of this.
@@saltymofo5870 I can do a pull test and put a scale on each winch and show the difference if that would help
What was in that truck ?

Absolutely agree
We have done sooo many calls similar to that exact thing
don't understand those guys. good job helping them!!!
Moonshine?
AFS. Another Ford Stuck!! Just made my day. I'd say that was one of your easiest ever. Great job!!
They added all the off road trails as legit roads on standard GPS systems? Why in the blue hells would they do that? That's just begging for issues!
Future plans to be finished but then the project got abandoned
@@matt.mckinzieyikes... What a mess
Quick and easy pull out! It was nice of you to follow him out. BTW, S&W M&P or Glock? Couldn't quite tell...
Arkansas??!! I wondered why there haven’t been any fresh videos. Best of luck and us in Florida will miss you. And remember, don’t try to run from ASP #pit maneuver
He still has FL plates let’s hope he comes back to FL and this is just his summer house he is setting up .
knowing how to read the road is the difference between a steering wheel holder and driver
