Kaulin, i like your style. I dig how you saw an issue with the “center console”/air conditioning and went in after it. Not only getting it improved, but recognizing the need for cup holders and just making it happen.
My brother loves Chevrolet. That was his bread and butter rebuilding the transmissions for many years. He used Ford trucks to deliver hose Chevy transmissions. One of his delivery trucks, a Ford-159, finally died with 480,000 miles on the odometer
Same thing here. I manage a fleet of 100 or so vans for a utility co. Averages 1/2 Chev, 1/2 Ford. Lets just say I'll never buy Chev for my own vehicles.
Every time I work on my 1948 CJ2A Jeep, and look at the front bumper alone, I can see at least a half dozen tow points… and just one thought comes to mind: They don’t make ‘em like they used to.
In fact, by the time we arrived, it was already quite dark. We were stressed, tired and did not see quite well. We were on a road trip and, being from Germany, we had no idea about the nature of the surface (and, stupidly, didn't know that the car didn't have all-wheel drive). We had only driven a few feet onto the campsite when we noticed it. By then it was already too late. Thankfully, Matt got us out!
I'm sure it's been said before, but you live in one of the most beautiful areas in the country! The trips going to and from your jobs are really outstanding!
I joined your channel when you had 43,000 subscribers and it is so awesome to see how good you are doing… I love when good things happen to good people
You guys really should have a special shirt for the people you rescue. Instead of having, we will get them out. Have they got me out. Having an exclusive shirt for your customers would be even better advertisement since it will make people ask about how the wearer ended up needing rescued.
That is crazy that so many vehicles dont have tow points. It seems manufacturing they dont think about what if something happens and the vehicle needs to be towed. You guys are the best at what you do
The tahoe would have tow points if it wasn't a rental. If it was their actual vehicle, they were being cheap and opted out of the high country/Z71 package.
Americans are buying these dumb vehicles. Manufacturers are giving people what they want. Despite what rural people seem to choose to believe, 75% of trucks and SUVs are never going to be used for work in this country. They're glamour luxury vehicles that people buy to feed their egos. Most trucks nowadays hardly have a bed on them, but they're packed full of luxury features and sell for $75k. The issue is that people are buying them. Stop buying these huge vehicles that are literally killing us. Routine car accidents become deadly because people can't stop buying giant vehicles.
Most vehicles are NOT designed to be off tar roads, where a roll back or lift type tow truck would be used. Manufacturers make them for the 98% of clients, not the 2% that get stuck off road but most offer an upgrade package with hooks or points.
@@mke723even if you're getting put into a roll back or similar they still need to winch you up the ramp. A tow point is a good way of doing that. At manufacturer time it'll cost about $3.50 to install. If that
I figured the mud job would be worse. When I saw it, I thought I would use the wench because why take a chance in damaging your vehicle when you don't have to. But it just popped right out. Still another great video, Matt and Crew. Keep up the great work.
Hey Matt, I just had an idea that might be helpful. Why don't you build a dedicated trailer, with a petrol or diesel driven large winch drum mounted on it, for long distance recoveries, either down cliffs, or out over long stretches of seriously muddy terrain. The winch trailer would have nearly vertical tubes mounted on it, so that they lean away from the direction you are pulling from, with solid steel pointed round bars that slide down the tubes, that you drive into the ground with an impacter or large pneumatic hammer, to anchor the trailer. You could build deployable extendable outriggers, for additional tubes, if you needed to extend your ground anchor capability. You could possibly use a hollow hydraulic jack to extract the bars back out of the ground, after the winch rescue. (Porta-Power make a hollow bottle for tensioning tensile rods on building sites etc, but you might need to bespoke one for your specific application.) You would also fit a removable towball to the front of all vehicles, that would tow the trailer, to give you the additional capability to arrive down (or up) a narrow track, with the trailer in front, so that the winch arrives first, ready to be deployed. - And its easy-peasy to steer a reversing trailer this way. - Next project after the Bombi is working properly - possibly?
I not sure this is a very practical idea. Moor recovery does not need a cumbersome piece of equipment to maintain, store operate. I assume you know of the WLORW. A little extra cable and it’s coming out regardless of where it is.
I love the scenery around the work truck. I don't recall seeing you in this area before. Thanks for sharing. I also like how Colin is now a 'main' character on the channel. To me, it seems he is becoming a wonderful man like his father. Matt, you must be so proud! I was sorry to hear that Tom Tom was moving on. Could you find another with his skills? Robbie couldn't have found the last diamond in the rough! LOL! I can't 'wrap my head around' how someone who can afford a new Suburban lacks the brains to be aware that driving a vehicle, with average to low clearance height, tires designed to be good in the rain on asphalt and no tow points, offroad is a VERY poor decision. Lucky for you guys that these people still exist since it provides you with content.
The point being made is why go off road in a heavy 2wd SUV that’s going to get stuck. Because he’s German he has no common sense or because he’s sight seeing from out of town he doesn’t know what sand is? He knew better!!
I think there's something magical about the subalpine fir tree. They're so picturesque. The only trouble is that if you want to live near them, you'd better be ready for 20 feet of snow a year, plus the federal government owns most of that high altitude land and they aren't motivated to sell.
I went to a gfs house a few mos back and it was rainy when I arrived and parked. After our visit it had gotten very wet outside and my prius was stuck in the yard. we found pieces of wood to drive on to get me out. no MORR in my state, but I sure would have been happy to see you
A good trick to lower the tow rope is to go around and under the axle. Keep in mind that it would be ideal for lighter low pulls. I'd weld in an adjustable vertical tow hitches on both rear sides so you can slide in wheel chalks/ use an adjustable tow point for low bumpers.
I didn’t know you guys were Dutch? Love the “Dutch bingo” during today’s episode. Dutch bingo is when you go somewhere meet someone and can connect them to other people you know. Almost like 7 degrees to Kevin Bacon.
Man. I just saw a 2 yr old video in my feed and Lizzy was in it. I love everyone on the channel now, but I do miss Lizzy! Maybe a cameo in the future?! Colin and Kaitlin look like the future of this channel! That's if Colin can grow a beard like Matt. Those two are some good kids.
I can absolutely see how people from other parts of the country might not understand how there would still be snow in places by May. Having spent time in the Salt Lake area for work, i would go exploring on weekends, and i remember there were some seasonal roads between SLC and Park city that didn't open till mid June because of the snow.
Colby really needs to be in front of the camera more often. He seems just as fun and crazy as the rest of the crew. Loved the snow angel!
Editor missed a great opportunity to give Colin a big beard like Matt
Kaulin's personality is fun. It was a good video with people that like each other and like having an adventure together.
The editing was spot on too!
A axiom for this show:
Any time Peanut gets within face licking distance of Matt, Matt's face is going to get licked.
The very definition of a lovely dog
A dog licking your face is absolutely disgusting. Especially when dogs go around smelling other dog's asses
Axiom dez nutz
Peanut merch. The world needs it! Stickers, stainless travel mugs, etc.
Ya like "well get ya out in two licks" 😆

Matt had two recovery's and they got em out. Nice to have Kaulin here helping Matt that's awesome!
Marvincarter was a battle buddy of mine in basic.
Excellent improv on the snow angel! You work with what you have. Anytime Peanut or the other doggos are along for the ride, it is a good video.

props for fixing up the trail a bit after that first recovery
Oof, that Tahoe is playing the 2wd game in hard mode!
They really seem to sucker people into thinking these things can tackle off road conditions.
Leads to people getting themselves stuck.
being from canada its wild to see a tahoe without 4x4
@@Tom-bp6no The cheapest 2WD Tahoe is almost $60k. That's craaazy. And it's in the same situation as like the last minivan or Prius they pulled out.

Thank you Matt and crew for the adventure and seeing some beautiful scenery !
"Beehive Broadband". One of the most Utah names ever, lol...
Always buzzy
Hope they called dig safe before digging that trench with their truck
That was nice of you to fill that trench, I just hope nobody comes along right after you because you kind of hid the danger.
It's not often you get the chance to be both good and evil at the exact same time.
I also was surprised to see that being done, why would you do this
@@dnaindex to make it harder to get stuck?
Was waiting for a snow angel when I spied the patch of snow. You did not disappoint. 😄
God Bless cup holders... and those who install them. :)
Always a great time tagging along with you guys

Utah and Colorado are the most two beautiful places in America, in my opinion. People who are born and raised there sure are blessed.
There is such a variation of landscape too. From deserts, canyons, to mountains and woodlands.
Texas Panhandle Is Way More Beautiful Just From Having Almost No Commie Leftists...😶🧂
Other than the Mormonism.
Californian's ruined Colorado.

Można powiedzieć podwójnie
Colby's snow angel was fantastic! And let us not forget Kaitlyn's "hop". Easy ones for this video!
I do love this channel, the way Matt orchestrates everybody like a conductor is true leadership.
It’s incredible how easy you made that look. A true professional.
One big happy family... Good job crew, made it look easy! Safe Travels
That Tahoe was all show and no go when it comes to rough roads.
Kolby, that was a great snow angel!
There was snow at my camp this past weekend. Northern Lights too.
@ 0:18 The dog " Peanut " has Now Become the " Official Navigator " !

Thanks for sharing !

Only thing missing from this video was Peanut rolling around in the mud
before getting back in. -- Thanks for the fun upload, guys. ---
Could be worse.
Could be muddy.
Love the budget snow angel.

They sounded European, maybe German, and I'm betting that was a rental. Don't judge so harshly...
I just saw the "Got Gas" sticker on the Dashboard gauge cluster. That is fantastic!
We don't see many Chevys in Poland, they do pop up from time to time but they are not exactly common
#1 why would you even buy a 2wd SUV? #2 why would you try to off road a 2wd anything? Common sense folks!
Love the videos, you guys rock!!
Tourists in a rental...
Pretty sure it was a foreigner who rented that vehicle and just didn't know better.
Germans by the accent.

My guess for the next project is the spud truck...
