Our Wendy’s is 25 miles away, but living in the sticks is better than living in the brick, at least for me. Love your channel and abilities !!! Keep it up !!!
Merlin. It was great to meet you and the misses at Rory’s shop at EJS. My pop has been gone (Rest In Peace) for many years. You remind me of him so much. Every evening after work he and all the other gents of the alley we lived on opened up their garages and while we kids rodes our bikes all the men met in any one of the garages. Usually if the issue of the day was automotive or mechanical or welding and so one, they were all in my dad’s garage getting things fixed. Thanks for bringing back those memories. I learned a lot in there!!!
Great job Merlin!! Jimmy did a fine job with the camera too!! Not dropping it when he went down... sign of a true veteran!! That poor guy was definitely in "between a rock and a hard place"! LOL!!
Dang Marilyn, that really steep -hill, intimidated me!! I didn’t think you would have any trouble with it per se. But I just wasn’t so sure about you told me that off-road toy behind you. And then, getting up the hill, all the way without, spinning and losing your traction. And then, getting in some kind of trouble, some kind of a jackpot that you don’t need. You know, as well as I do Marlin, there are good jackpots and there is bad jackpots. What really saved the day was when you supervised getting everybody in-tandem so everyone could pull him out. By the way, that guy that owns the side-by-side toy, that you rescued, I have seen him over in Sand Hollow and I have seen him in videos on Matt’s channel. I just don’t remember if Matt rescued him or not. But I’ve seen him talking with Matt Wayback in an area in, And around, Sand Hollow.
Jimmy is a good man always there for you when you need help. I'm glad Jimmy knows how to spot and isn't afraid to get dirty fixing stuff. Thank you Jimmy for being there for Merlin.
I feel like I have seen this fella get rescued by Matt a couple times. EIther way. I love seeing him out there. Never too old to go play. That was a pro tow for sure.
In 1972 we came back from Okinawa, I was ten , and my dad had 2 Hondas 50 sent back and we still use them today , now the grandkids are riding them , thanks pop , ,, old stuff is great just ask my wife 😂 god bless and have a great day
Great Recovery 👍Your Jeep is Pretty Cool never Seen it in real ACTION Jimmy has has Got to Quit Falling Eventually it starts hurting( Not LOL ) Have a Great Day 👍 God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
15 miles to the south and 13 miles to the north is where the two Wendy's are located to us. All of the other "fast food" joints are situated around each of them. The best cheeseburgers are a local convenience store three tenths of a mile from the house. Hand made and tasty. They have some rather large and plump crispy breaded chicken tenders as well. Food always plays a big part in going out off the pavement.
Smart!!!! Cutting the ties & allowing the axles to spin inside the boots was ingenious! I'm guessing they tend to fail at the joints, like a fusible link? Take it you don't want to beef them up much & risk damaging the diffs?
Hey ... you oughta make a SHORT of just that part in the Games where you were doing the Dead Pull, and your Wrecker was jumping up and down. That never gets old!
Merlin thanks again for rescue and helping us out , nobody local wanted take on challenges pull up out that wash on dead pull man you made look easy . Had roll down wrecker games called it early Merlin for the win ! You and Jimmy are hecka team . Ky Keith
Definitely the dark horse of the off road recovery gang. All that engineering knowledge is spilling over to working stuff out when you get to the desert.
I know that area quite well. That steep trail was created about four years ago. It was a God send because it allowed for a great loop. About ten years ago a Ford truck, or Bronco got wedged in that slot and was there for a few years before a big storm forced it through. It is now down by the Narrows. I have photos back home.
Morning Merlin!! Amazing what KNOWLEDGE combined with SKILL can do!!! You truly ARE a wizard at getting folks out of a PINCH (point)!! And the "little engine that could" haul up that steep slippery grade was amazing!!! You coordinated all participants effortlessly, and Jimmy's camera skills proved priceless once again! (even with a 'Jimmy-Down', the camera kept rolling!!) Safe travels, friends❤️❤️ Stay FROSTY... Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel... 🇺🇸🇺🇸WWG1WGA🇺🇸🇺🇸NCSWIC🇺🇸🇺🇸
I bet you made the memory of that outting one of the go-to stories they will tell later. You gathered everyone to conquer that wicked hill in such an epic form!
One day I was watching an old video of Weldurup. I saw this guy and thought “is that Merlin” and then he spoke. Yep, that’s Merlin. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for sharing Merlin. You made it look easy someday after I retire I want to go to Utah to meet all of you guys Matt fabrats Roy, maybe add another tow truck in Olympics ray from Oregon
All those geezers really got into a narrow spot! hahahahahaha . Great idea to use all the available tools including their razors together to get it done! Well done as usual!
Wow ! He was just a lil bit wedged in there !! But not a problem for that wicked cool Jeep ! The daisy chain up that big hill was a smooth idea ! Saved some ware an tare on your rig ! Thanks for sharing your adventures and wisdom with everyone Sir ✌️❤️🙏
Enjoy the variety of solid content on this channel. As an old YJ owner wondering if there is a prior video where all the mods to that machine are described. Quite the purposeful rig! Great video. Super enjoyable.
Our Wendy's burnt down so we are the same lol. Blimps is my favorite but saddly they quit making the signature vinegar sause...😢. Their prices have gotten crazy!
Sure wish I lived a live further west than west virginia would love to head down to moab for the meet n greet I'll just have to visit yall in TH-cam land
i love driving the narrows. Problem is my YJ was too long to make some of the corners and then I had to back out a long way to find a spot wide enough to turn around.
Good job Maryland. I'm surprised your vehicle was it diesel. Hamburgers going to taste good after that Victory burgers. 25 miles east the other ones about 20 miles Southeast. Last time I had Wendy burgers was probably back in 19 76. Will see you at the Easter Jeep Safari.👍🏽🤙🏾✋🏽🤘🏾🤙🏾😊😎.

Hello Lon, how are you doing😊
That rescue had a pucker factor of at least 10, if not more! Good job Merlin, I'm glad you did not break something on your rig in the process!
Dang Marilyn, that really steep -hill, intimidated me!! I didn’t think you would have any trouble with it per se. But I just wasn’t so sure about you told me that off-road toy behind you.

Yes he is! ❤❤❤

This channel just keeps getting better and better… better footage and camera work… I love Merlin’s old school garage
14 miles from Wendy's both ways from the house only one town has a restaurant and great job with the recovering and God bless from GA and stay safe
In 1972 we came back from Okinawa, I was ten , and my dad had 2 Hondas 50 sent back and we still use them today , now the grandkids are riding them , thanks pop , ,, old stuff is great just ask my wife 😂 god bless and have a great day
Kind of like a choo choo train with muliple engines in the front. 🚂🚂🚂
Merlin really is a magician, with a yankum. Keep up the great work Merlin.
Another Fine rescue. So Wise , Thank You
One wheel drive side by side. Nice job Merlin. God bless
Let that be a lesson..'Daisy-chains' can lead you down a rocky road.../Fun video Merlin.Thanks for the tour and rescue.
Great Recovery 👍Your Jeep is Pretty Cool never Seen it in real ACTION
Jimmy has has Got to Quit Falling
Eventually it starts hurting( Not LOL )
Have a Great Day 👍
God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Another successful recovery from the wizard!

Matt has his victory pie, Merlin and Jimmy have their victory Wendy’s burger! 😀👍👌
Watching them climb up that hill chain-link style smooth as a greased pig was beautiful.
Great job Merlin. I enjoyed watching you at the Wrecker Games. Congratulations on First Place. Well deserved.
Easy-Peasy... Here I was all excited to see you try to slay the dragon!
Everybody needs a jetski Jimmy. What a good team
Hello Damon, how are you doing😊

Hey ... you oughta make a SHORT of just that part in the Games where you were doing the Dead Pull, and your Wrecker was jumping up and down. That never gets old!
You’re getting more views, faster than when I subscribed. 👍👌 nice. Well deserved.
MERLIN, We love how you think out of the box and problem solve. Was a privilege and a joy for me to meet you all at WRECKER GAMES. Jimmy too❤
Great Job Merlin and Jimmy...Jimmy You Sir are part Billygoat. climbing up that hill. Great Job Guys .And Video..
Awesome job by Merlin and Jimmy ! I'm watching from East Enterprise, Indiana.
2:54 looks like a canyon you might see on an old western. Beautiful landscape !!
Hey Merlin that was awesome 🙏🏻❤️👍✌️💪🏻
Wow. What a recovery. Cheers Brother.
Merlin thanks again for rescue and helping us out , nobody local wanted take on challenges pull up out that wash on dead pull man you made look easy . Had roll down wrecker games called it early Merlin for the win ! You and Jimmy are hecka team .
Ky Keith
Merlin and a Jimmy are always down for a challenge! ❤❤❤❤❤
That looked like a pretty cool trip.
Cool rescue Merlin see y'all there
Excellent recovery Merlin (aka....Mr Champion ) 🤘
one of those times when a deadly highlift jack would come in handy
And that's how to do it! Extra muscle for the hill made it look easy.
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Kool, can't wait to get some Merlin merch !!!
Definitely the dark horse of the off road recovery gang. All that engineering knowledge is spilling over to working stuff out when you get to the desert.
Hello Trevor, how are you doing😊
Great call on the ‘wagon train’ up that hill👍👍easy as pie, well done!
Cool recovery - that's tight! Thanks Merlin and Jimmy
Team work makes that dream work baby! That was a well coordinated hill climb, off without a hitch 👌
Hey Merlin, I use to call what you guys did, "pullin' locomotive style" to get someone up a steep incline or even out of deep mud. You all did great.
Or train pulling
Hello Steve, how are you doing😊
@@MiaJones-xr2vv If you are not fishing here with your bran new profile then I might be wrong.
@@Frank-Thoresen what are you talking about?
Nice. Those guys were still having fun after getting stuck and breaking hard parts. Just the price of admission. Great job on the recovery and video.
I know that area quite well. That steep trail was created about four years ago. It was a God send because it allowed for a great loop. About ten years ago a Ford truck, or Bronco got wedged in that slot and was there for a few years before a big storm forced it through. It is now down by the Narrows. I have photos back home.
Good recovery. Made some smart choices on that one and made it look easy. Jimmy down! Hope he got his burger!
Jimmy always gets his burger! 😂😂😂😂

Good job boys!... Good Luck in MOAB!
Great recovery.
I bet you made the memory of that outting one of the go-to stories they will tell later. You gathered everyone to conquer that wicked hill in such an epic form!
Well done team work.
Nice recovery. Hats off to Jetski Jimmy for the good spotting & camera work.
Nice to see older guys on the trail and not sitting on the sofa!
That is the truth, (I am an Old guy) LOL
Have fun Merlin!!!
One day I was watching an old video of Weldurup. I saw this guy and thought “is that Merlin” and then he spoke. Yep, that’s Merlin. Thanks for the content.
Watching that train march up those marbles was cool. That looked awfully sketchy when you were headed down it. Good video, thanks!
Good rescue Merlon, your very good at figuring out the course of action that works. Thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍
Knowledge plus experience equals less painful recoveries. Great teamwork.
Thanks for sharing Merlin. You made it look easy someday after I retire I want to go to Utah to meet all of you guys Matt fabrats Roy, maybe add another tow truck in Olympics ray from Oregon

Love this channel Merlin ❤🇷🇴
Great stuff sir Merlin well done enjoy your burger Jimmy
Hello Merlin,nice builds.The fabrats speed boat seemed done in record time.Later Brother.
All those geezers really got into a narrow spot! hahahahahaha .
Great idea to use all the available tools including their razors together to get it done! Well done as usual!
Hello Desi, how are you doing😊
Thanks Jimmy for his help on all Merlin's adventure's.
Wow ! He was just a lil bit wedged in there !! But not a problem for that wicked cool Jeep !
The daisy chain up that big hill was a smooth idea ! Saved some ware an tare on your rig !
Thanks for sharing your adventures and wisdom with everyone Sir ✌️❤️🙏
You gots to weld a mount for that new shiny belt on mater
That was cleverly done. Awesome job.
Hello Dan, how are you doing😊
That was one of your best recoveries 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Enjoy the variety of solid content on this channel. As an old YJ owner wondering if there is a prior video where all the mods to that machine are described. Quite the purposeful rig! Great video. Super enjoyable.
Great recovery I must say. Thanks for sharing 😊.
Oh wow Jimmy and Merlin had tough rescue getting this side by side out of the canyon and thanks to the other side by sides they gotem out!
👍 Good Job
They should call that place "Fossil Creek" nothing but old tarts down in there!! Lol
Another job done expertly well done hope you and Jimmy enjoyed your burgers cheers for now
Our Wendy's burnt down so we are the same lol. Blimps is my favorite but saddly they quit making the signature vinegar sause...😢. Their prices have gotten crazy!
Sure wish I lived a live further west than west virginia would love to head down to moab for the meet n greet I'll just have to visit yall in TH-cam land
You fellas get to have to much fun!
All it needed was just a little yankum to pop him out... 😁😎🤟
Hello Manuel, how are you doing😊
Merlin and Jimny are unstoppable!
They don’t know the meaning of the word
They don’t know the meaning of the word
i love driving the narrows. Problem is my YJ was too long to make some of the corners and then I had to back out a long way to find a spot wide enough to turn around.
That looked like some rough country but pretty
You and Jimmy have got to be the most dynamic duo in the havasu. And I absolutely love it!
As a fan please make an episode of all your cool toys
Jimmy is always on point. Good team.
Merlin I never have to watch a whole episode to realize I like it
You showed what can be done with just a little help from your friends.
You used what you had and made it work👍, perhaps a couple more Yankum ropes for possible daisy chains in the future.😉
Good job Maryland.
I'm surprised your vehicle was it diesel. Hamburgers going to taste good after that Victory burgers.
25 miles east the other ones about 20 miles Southeast.
Last time I had Wendy burgers was probably back in 19 76.
Will see you at the Easter Jeep Safari.👍🏽🤙🏾✋🏽🤘🏾🤙🏾😊😎.
Another, absolutely outstanding video!!
Interesting recovery . Thanks for sharing .
Hello Merlen, we were in Havasu on the last weekend of March and came by to see you but yall weren't home .
8:13 Maybe stack rocks in front of that rear driver's side tire so that it comes up instead of getting wedged against the rock.
You guys would make great train engineers !
3 locomotive off-roaders pulling the near-dead side-by-side. 👍
GREAT example of teamwork. Well done.
Love my ion pro camera glad to see somebody else using one 👍🏼
That was a pretty awesome rescue!!!!!!!!
South of Palmdale the desert is already blooming
I love watching Merlin, he's just a cool old smart dude with that has tons of experience and skillset!
Looked like a fun recovery, 😂 thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
