I'm glad Matt has the ability to not ask "How stupid are you?" to some of his customers. I know I'd struggle with that part. As my mom would say "some people have more money than brains".
This "driver"( not 19:02 ) is the perfect example of more money (entitled) than brains.... you're a good guy, Matt.... Ida probly hooked to it and drug it up while it was still in its top... This guy should be fined AND banned from the trails...
“So you came in this way and looking for a way out”. Matt doesn’t seem pleased that this guy took a Jeep onto MTN bike trails. I mean these trails are clearly single track in the video. Actions like this get the trails closed for everybody. Kudos for MORR getting that Jeep out with a minimum of trail damage.
It’s tough when you get lost. I must say trail apps like OnX do help this. It’s easy to get in trouble even on a trail that is designed for vehicles, but it’s washed out or destroyed in a way where you have no options to get out easily.
Not making excuses for the Jeep owner, however, I live right near this area and two track and single track trails make up this area and some of them do crisscross. It's not too difficult to make a wrong turn and and up on the wrong trail that starts out wide and narrows quickly. Don't know if that's what happened here, just adding some first hand experience.
@@Rubiflake I hear ya as I have done a lot of trails in UT but in the beginning when the customer wanted Matt to drive into the trailhead that had the dividers clearly there for single track only and Matt would not go that way was kind of a red flag for me of the Jeep driver.
I just don't understand why I can watch Matt's videos without skipping. All the jobs are similar, yet so different from each other. I have to say good editing, whoever did it.
I think it’s because Of the risk factor; you can easily break down on these trails and be stranded. But then seeing them put together a solution and get home makes you feel so proud.
Good job to Matt & his crew recovering the Jeep. The Jeep owner is a perfect example of why off road vehicle trails are being closed, especially in Utah. This Jeep owner should be fined for his own ignorance & stupidity🇺🇸
DITTO !!!! thankfully a rolled jeep was his fine !!!! the abuse of public land has to STOP !!!!! cuz its a buzz kill for all those whom are obedient !!!!!!!!!!! y !!! must the many ALWAYS pay for the few ???????😢
He’s also lucky Matt didn’t call the authorities and refuse to do the job because he can’t access it legally (even though I think Matt has some leeway with accessing trails)
The way Matt checked the trail after seeing a MTB come out, makes me super happy. Thanks Matt! Hurricane area has some world class biking, would hate to see that affected. (also Kaulin, does NICA, so he should be pretty aware of MTB stuff)
That customer was not on the proper trails. He was driving on single trails and cutting across terrain and off trails. He created his own situation. Matt and the team took control of the recovery got it right side up and it was able to drive out . That's talent on the part of Matt's Off Road Recovery.
Yeah they are mad at him. It's guys like him that make governments and land owners bar 4 wheeling. Anytime you drive some where your not or allowed to causes damage that could take decades to repair itself if ever.
Honestly the guy called him out there and as the customer, I would want respect. Regardless if he wasn’t supposed to be out there. My friend slid off the road years back and the tow truck had a chip on his shoulder and was being a jerk. I told him to leave and we called a different tow truck. Later I found out the first tow truck operator got fired because of his ongoing bad attitude.
@@oxygen454nah, this guy deserves disrespect. He can’t respect the trail systems which are getting closed because of people like him who can’t read a sign

Fk that he should be as disrespectful as he wants. Fk those Flatlanders.
Had something similar happened outside of Rowher Flats OHV in California. Guy went on a bike trail, slid down 200 ft into brushes, fortunately didn't roll, but was riding on bike trails where he shouldn't have been there. We did some volunteer work for the BLM and Parks service on trail cleanup and maintenance and had a office call us to get the guy pulled out, took an old Hummer with a warn winch and a good day to get buddy pulled out. He showed up wearing flip flops and we were like "man you got to climb through all that brush to get to your truck and you are here with flip flops?" he did get fined as well .
Thought Matt was going to explode when the customer told him just go through this gate which was a restricted access Matt wasn’t happy at all. But once again he was professional and got em 😂
Rough recovery and a tenuous reaction to the driver for getting into that location. I've cycled some of those singletrack trails and enjoy them. Agreeably, not all are marked well and changing wash locations and depths make it worse. THANKS to Matt and the MORR group for honoring the designations of the trails. Great work, team.
Awesome recovery guys. Matt, your candor, transparent honesty, with the customer diffused that situation immediately. He heard that you were going to take it one step at a time because you were in a unique set of circumstances, and that your best interest was directed towards giving him the best results possible. I appreciate that you don't make major decisions until you have set eyes on the vehicle, evaluated the terrain both at the site and your out path. You have ideas, yet you are open to applying that storehouse of experience in whatever way needs to be taken to get the vehicle out safely with the least amount of damage.
Matt is the best at holding his composure. He’s seriously the example of how to be a man. Always lending out a hand, awesome husband, father, & friend. The dude is just cool
The "get it done" videos remind me of the guys they dropped off in the Arctic tundra by a crash landed WWII B-29. Salvaging it and getting it running with just know how, a small tractor, and hand tools. Same kind of guys.
Kaulin makes us laugh. We love that he's able to help again. Watching Rhett's face while he works out a plan is awesome. You see him process everything going on and what he's learned.
This was a really tough one guys. Very obvious Matt not pleased. But he’s such a leader always comes out on top. Peanut and Lady big helps too. 🙋♂️👏👏👏🇬🇧
Well executed recovery. The shakedowns on the heavy wrecker have certainly paid off. The agility, handling and capability is very impressive. Not bad at all for a plumber, awesome job Matt.
I don't normally want to criticize people who get into a pickle on this channel, but this dude clearly ignored signs and just drove wherever he damned well pleased. This is how you get areas closed off to motor vehicles. As for On-X, happy to see them doing well. I interviewed with them a few years ago (though my skillset didn't quite match their needs, which happens in tech) and got a really really great impression of them as a company. Definitely a far better app than relying on Google Maps.
Not only did it make the rescue take forever finding him, it forced Matt off the trail. And this is the sort of thoughtless entitled behavior that gets off roading banned. There are groups constantly lobbying and suing the government to shut down trails. Going off the trail, dumping trash, driving drunk, that all gives them fuel to get trails shut down. And you can tell the customer was off trail on purpose, trying to play dumb like he didn't know. I'm calling it off trail, I know technically he was on a trail. But not a trail Jeeps are allowed on so that's off trail in my book.
Yes every right to be p***** off because these are the kinds of people that are ruining it for all the others when the number one looks like he drove on private property to get down there and the other thing that he did wrong was go down way to narrow trail . This type of Jeep owner should sell that vehicle and get something to drive on the street only .
The area where you dropped the wrecker off the rollback is the Cove Wash area. There are a lot of bike trails there and rolling along the bottom of the mesas headed east from there. But further out in the desert more towards the Jeep,I don't think people use that much for mountain biking. That seems more for motorcycles. Lately the biggest threat to the bike trails has just been urban sprawl in that area.
I like how the entire crew very much knows what to do. Matt's the coordinator, but he doesn't have to dictate very move as they give suggestions and handle much of the process for him. I.E. They're processionals, and I like that!
That trail will never be single track again. Some rock crawlers went through Gooseberry trails 20 years ago. Made a total mess. It’s only now starting to heal up, and the mesas are much better ground than that desert.
Very true! After the first tire tracks widen a single track it takes purposeful effort to rehab or other 4 wheel vehicles inevitably and inadvertently follow along. It’s the death knell to single track. Thumbs down to this guy. I hope he gets the 50k fine in the thumbnail
This is one instance where we miss Lizzy. The only time she ever looked scared (Matt did too) was the time she had to freewheel that truck down that steep hill. Otherwise she never questioned or complained about what was asked of her no matter how dodgy. She is sorely missed.
Got married and moved to their farm which is always what she wanted to do. She is a cowgirl at heart and her husband is very farm/horsey as well. Great couple. @@javarenas
I miss Lizzy too. Nothing seemed to bother she. She had a very pleasant demeanor and was ready to do n everything asked of her. She has such a good smile too. At times someone would leave the channel to go in t heir own and I always thought "That's okay, BUT if Lizzy goes, I will go too." , but of course I stayed. It's still a very good channel but it's not the same.
I was out there on my Sherco and saw you guys come in! I know that place like the back of my hand. I can't believe I rode right by that Jeep on the way home, barely blocked by rocks 😂
It’s cool seeing the boys come out and work with you Matt. That’s one hell of a spotlight though, it takes a lot of bravery to stand in front of a couple million viewers. I personally HATE cameras, I don’t think I’d do it lol.
Brilliant job well done. But one point for the future guys. I worked with glass for decades, been over to the U.S, (Washington) Belgium, Germany, Holland etc etc with Glass and glazing exhibitions. At my work handling huge sheets of glass and lots of laminated too, cutting the glass into all manner of shapes and sizes, my point being were I to drive that or any vehicle after a collision that has a laminated or broken windscreen I would definitely wear eye protection. Once A vehicle is in a crash there is a total change in the integrity of vehicles flexibility which could cause more stress to the broken screen and send shards often tiny, but enough to cause serious eye damage!
No need to listen to this other dude. Even a stock TJ can get you through some surprisingly tough stuff. Just make sure you let somebody know where you’re planning on going and ideally have a second vehicle with you.
@@heyinway A vehicle is a tool. Every tool is created with a set of compromises, targeting a different demographic and set of use cases. The tool is only part of the equation; the user of the tool is the greater part. The best violinist can make beautiful music using the cheapest instrument, while the best efforts of beginner will make a million-dollar instrument screech and squawk. How many professional violinists will crassly insult the tool choices available to a student? "Your violin sucks, boy. Stick to Peanut Butter Sandwich and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star until you've a Stradivarius." Your highly-opinionated, abusive post is not consistent with how a truly knowledgeable and skilled person would respond to someone saying they're trying to learn from other people's mistakes; it's what I'd expect from a blow-hard.
There was a very cool single track mtb/horse/hiking trail in the woods above my house, lots of little turns. After a quad started using it, it turned into just another 4x4 style straight pathway like all the others.
But he has the special edition unlimited rubicon, it can go anywhere! (sarcasm). Not surprised the guy who puts fake rubicon badges on his jeep drives on the wrong trails
@@ctoombs001 My Rubi has no badge. I learned long ago that 4X4 is a good way to get in trouble farther from help. Only an idiot drives out in country like that alone. And you would think the bike trail versus two track difference would be clear.
8:56 I appreciate with all my heart, that you bring up to everyone the risks of the wire and vehicle. When Ii started watching this section my brain was just screaming "dear god get out of the wire wip range" and not two seconds later you say ot so thank you
@@DrTheRich I was thinking more like people driving down into a place where they weren’t allowed (private property, state parts, etc.) and getting into legal trouble. BTW to the other commenter, I’m not talking about Matt getting into trouble, I meant the original person who got stuck.
@rjtumble I can't really answer for this case but in Sweden and I assume also US when someone gets stranded somewhere illegal it's the authorities or landowner who calls a towtruck/rescue vehicle. If it's the owner who calls then those above are still going to be involved.
I am not sure how this video slipped past me nine months ago. TH-cam offed it for me today, and I definitely hadn't seen it, so a very nice surprise. It was interesting seeing the Wrecker use three winches at the same time. Especially when you consider all the comments asking why the wrecker needed so many winches. Even if they never eventually used every winch - and there is plenty of time going forward for that to happen - it was worth mounting so many just so Matt could have the Wrecker's version of the Nuclear Football which can control all seven winches (is it seven?) remotely. I remember the remote was left on a back wheel during one recovery, and either got run over, or very nearly did. I wonder if the gang will ever finish the Wrecker?
Matt and his team flipped this Jeep back over and got it running and drove it out! Good video and Matt and Jefe learned a new trail! Kawlin and Rhett are doing a great job!
I think the Karma was appropriate. However it will probably be our insurance rates that pays for his Jeep. It's guys like this who pay no respect to where they are that provides the reason places get designated as no motorized vehicles. This guy will have had his fun and be long gone, but almost a guarantee some screaming greenie will be at the next BLM land use meeting with pictures of his tire tracks on 'their' single track.
@@Freedomquest08 most auto insurance doesn't cover damage off road. But yeah he's the reason why we're losing trails. I'm an off road enthusiast and a mountain biker and it drives me nuts to see the damage people cause to trails because they can't be bothered to stick to proper trails. This doesn't just affect off road enthusiasts but also mountain bikers lose trails because of damage caused by reckless motorcycles and quads as well as brainless off roaders.
Why feel bad for the guy? He ended up with consequences that were a direct result of a series of really poor, irresponsible choices on his part. I feel bad for the people who won't get to enjoy being out in areas like this in 50 years because of idiots like him.
Matt is such an awesome leader, it's really quite amazing to see and we are all blessed to be able to witness his skills and the skills of his team first hand like this. I really enjoy watching these videos.
That was awesome . Those trucks would look great in a museum but they are actually brilliant working pieces of engineering. Four wheel steering?! You Americans have some seriously good kit. Thanks for that.
Kawlin and Rhett are rocking it, Kawlin totally cracked me up. The rest of the crew did great... Was that a rental? ha!!! Way to keep your composure... A new T-shirt design "Matt Saved My Stupid Butt". Just kidding... Great episode...
I DISAGREE : with the "just kidding" part ! He SHOULD have a 2nd version that has a DIFFERENT rear shoulder phrase like *_THAT_* instead ( i wonder how long it would take for them to notice it _doesn't_ say " we'll get 'em out " ?? )
Your boy all healed up! Good thing too see cause he looks like he's living the best he has after surgery. Even if maybe he still feels pain a bit. It the best he's walked and doing a damn good job stepping in.
Matt, I have been watching you for a while and I have to say that I don't believe I have ever seen you so focused and concerned about your crew. Great job!
Must’ve been a long day for Matt, I’ve had those days before they’re not fun at all. Feels a lot better when you’re home resting and next day you’re recharged. Big respect to Matt and his crew for their hard work
That is so common that people do not follow rules because they believe it’s all about them and no one else matters. Plus common sense is sorely lacking throughout this world.
I use onx for the backcountry. Its been a game changer for being able to navigate/not get lost. Also in locating game when hunting after i take the shot. Onx is awesome.
This is one where I would have said to the customer “No can do, you’re illegally off trail, and I’m not allowed down those trails, good luck!” Then told the authorities
It didn't look like those trails were very well marked, so while I'll advised, unless its clearly marked, inexperienced people can get into trouble fast with one wrong turn.
When I was a rookie off roader, I made a lot of mistakes. I learned quickly that my vehicle was not indestructible and couldn’t go just anywhere. I think that people just getting into off roading should only go out with off road clubs until they gain some experience. That’s what I should have done. It would have saved me a lot of money and I wouldn’t have had to spend the night in my vehicle in the middle of nowhere more than once.
I have to say I really enjoy watching you guys. you’ve got comedy along with adventure and everything else on your TH-cam channel and I really enjoy it. I just started watching you a few months back and watch a lot of the old series and you guys are just great.
I'm a mountain biker and there's definitely a stigma against OHV because of idiots doing stuff like this - it's nice to see people like Matt who take this kind of thing seriously, as there's plenty of nature for all of our different hobbies to coexist.
@donniehalfhill4332, I did notice that he seemed mad but I couldn't figure out why until I read this section of the comments. I don't use public trails so it didn't automatically register with me.
Might be a good opportunity to show the rest of the overlanding community how to use OnX to avoid these off trail scenarios. Jeep owner clearly ignored all the 'single track' signs and kept going regardless of how narrow the trail was.
Kaulin and Rhett are learning the business the right way. Love this family and crew. Mat and Chad are doing it right. (Others I have watched, not so much)
Y'know it may not be the image they want but that's actually a pretty good advert for Jeep. The passenger compartment is pretty much intact and it started right up after rolling it and it sitting upside down for however long :)
Love your videos. Love Rory. Love the music. Love the explanations. Love the scenery. Love seeing you go for meals. Love listening to two pros confer. Thank you.

This is one instance where we miss Lizzy. The only time she ever looked scared (Matt did too) was the time she had to freewheel that truck down that steep hill. Otherwise she never questioned or complained about what was asked of her no matter how dodgy. She is sorely missed.
Where did she go?
That was scary to watch let alone be there but she took it in her stride and I have done some sketchy stuff.
Got married and moved to their farm which is always what she wanted to do. She is a cowgirl at heart and her husband is very farm/horsey as well. Great couple.
@@javarenas
Spot on!!
I miss Lizzy too. Nothing seemed to bother she. She had a very pleasant demeanor and was ready to do n everything asked of her. She has such a good smile too.
At times someone would leave the channel to go in t heir own and I always thought "That's okay, BUT if Lizzy goes, I will go too." , but of course I stayed.
It's still a very good channel but it's not the same.
Good to see Matt’s feeling better!
And have a good vacation Tom Tom!
I was out there on my Sherco and saw you guys come in! I know that place like the back of my hand. I can't believe I rode right by that Jeep on the way home, barely blocked by rocks 😂
Glad to see the Morrvair back in action, still the best and coolest recovery vehicle you have.
what I love about the Morrvair, it was built for recovery work but it's actually brilliant at wheelin' and rock crawling.
@@austinshackles549 it HAS to be able to wheel and rock crawl to get to the recoveries. All part of the design 😉
Except for the banana and wrecker
Loved Kaulin’s vocalization of how scary it was going down the hill
It’s cool seeing the boys come out and work with you Matt. That’s one hell of a spotlight though, it takes a lot of bravery to stand in front of a couple million viewers. I personally HATE cameras, I don’t think I’d do it lol.
Brilliant job well done. But one point for the future guys. I worked with glass for decades, been over to the U.S, (Washington) Belgium, Germany, Holland etc etc with Glass and glazing exhibitions. At my work handling huge sheets of glass and lots of laminated too, cutting the glass into all manner of shapes and sizes, my point being were I to drive that or any vehicle after a collision that has a laminated or broken windscreen I would definitely wear eye protection. Once A vehicle is in a crash there is a total change in the integrity of vehicles flexibility which could cause more stress to the broken screen and send shards often tiny, but enough to cause serious eye damage!
As a Wrangler owner, I like to watch the team's videos, especially ones involving Wranglers so I can learn from other's mistakes.
Stick to mall crawling and the Dairy Queen drive thru unless your Jeep is heavily modified.
No need to listen to this other dude. Even a stock TJ can get you through some surprisingly tough stuff. Just make sure you let somebody know where you’re planning on going and ideally have a second vehicle with you.
@@heyinway A vehicle is a tool. Every tool is created with a set of compromises, targeting a different demographic and set of use cases. The tool is only part of the equation; the user of the tool is the greater part. The best violinist can make beautiful music using the cheapest instrument, while the best efforts of beginner will make a million-dollar instrument screech and squawk. How many professional violinists will crassly insult the tool choices available to a student? "Your violin sucks, boy. Stick to Peanut Butter Sandwich and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star until you've a Stradivarius."
Your highly-opinionated, abusive post is not consistent with how a truly knowledgeable and skilled person would respond to someone saying they're trying to learn from other people's mistakes; it's what I'd expect from a blow-hard.
Sounds like a good plan! And if you're ever in Utah you also know who to call.
@@heyinway🤡
There was a very cool single track mtb/horse/hiking trail in the woods above my house, lots of little turns. After a quad started using it, it turned into just another 4x4 style straight pathway like all the others.
I really miss getting to see you guys stop for food and seeing whether or not Matt gets his apple pie !!! Happy New Year everyone !!!
Great winch work, and kudos to Matt for having a safety briefing too!
Untoppling that jeep was masterful! Extra points for working together as cool confident team!
Caulin is so laid back. The" one foots good too " comment hit me as funny.
Peanut was supervising on this job.
Jeep on a mountain bike trail... idiots keep Matts bills paid lol
While at the same time risking his livelihood. When trails get shut down, wrecker companies lose long-term business.
We all lose when trails get shut down. But some people feel entitled to do what they want and say "I thought this was America" Ala Randy Marsh.
But he has the special edition unlimited rubicon, it can go anywhere! (sarcasm). Not surprised the guy who puts fake rubicon badges on his jeep drives on the wrong trails
@@ctoombs001 My Rubi has no badge. I learned long ago that 4X4 is a good way to get in trouble farther from help. Only an idiot drives out in country like that alone. And you would think the bike trail versus two track difference would be clear.
They should have gotten a big fine tbh
Collin has bigger cracks to look thru
Awesome tow
Best part for me
Matt training his boyz on the job
Gr8 respect and chemistry
Not see much these dayz
Matt needs a Land Anchor to avoid using shrubbery as a snatch point. It's good to set a good example.
Yes, but him showing this gives examples to others on ways they can self recover if they have a winch, some Matt's Recovery Rope, or other tools.
8:56 I appreciate with all my heart, that you bring up to everyone the risks of the wire and vehicle. When Ii started watching this section my brain was just screaming "dear god get out of the wire wip range" and not two seconds later you say ot so thank you
You ever recover vehicles where the owner ends up getting into legal trouble because they're somewhere they're not supposed to be?
Matt recovers vehicles and gets himself into legal trouble lol
if you're talking about insurance legal trouble... then yes...
@@DrTheRich I was thinking more like people driving down into a place where they weren’t allowed (private property, state parts, etc.) and getting into legal trouble. BTW to the other commenter, I’m not talking about Matt getting into trouble, I meant the original person who got stuck.
@rjtumble I can't really answer for this case but in Sweden and I assume also US when someone gets stranded somewhere illegal it's the authorities or landowner who calls a towtruck/rescue vehicle. If it's the owner who calls then those above are still going to be involved.
If you notice at the trail head there is a Sheriffs truck so I assume they where involved already.
That wrecker is a real blessing for these recoveries lately 🙏🏿
The look on Kaulin's face when he thought "I guess I'm the most expendable" was priceless. He seems like a good sport.
Lizzy would of been smiling and not complaining...
“This looks sketchy Lizzy.” Lizzy: “it’s fine, here, hold my beer.”
@@heyinway Lizzy was one of a kind. I hope her new husband appreciates what he's got in her.
Kaulin making small screaming and squealing noises from inside the Jeep was FUNNY STUFF! Lol
Great job. Collin is a natural but nice to know you have spares. LOL. Having all those winch lines is off the charts.
Glad to see you are felling better sir. Great group of people you have. thank you
I am not sure how this video slipped past me nine months ago. TH-cam offed it for me today, and I definitely hadn't seen it, so a very nice surprise. It was interesting seeing the Wrecker use three winches at the same time. Especially when you consider all the comments asking why the wrecker needed so many winches. Even if they never eventually used every winch - and there is plenty of time going forward for that to happen - it was worth mounting so many just so Matt could have the Wrecker's version of the Nuclear Football which can control all seven winches (is it seven?) remotely. I remember the remote was left on a back wheel during one recovery, and either got run over, or very nearly did. I wonder if the gang will ever finish the Wrecker?
Matt, your professionalism and respect is amazing. Kudos to you and your team!
These boys never disappoint! The best in the business! Love the whole gang due to their professionalism and overall demeanor 👍🏽👍🏽
Matt and his team flipped this Jeep back over and got it running and drove it out! Good video and Matt and Jefe learned a new trail! Kawlin and Rhett are doing a great job!
Oh is that what happened? thanks for watching the video for us.
Learned a new trail? Did you miss the part where they weren't supposed to be there?
As a mountain bike and dirt bike rider, I really hate it when ATV's and Jeeps use the single tracks and turn them into jeep roads.
Unfortunately, getting into these areas with 4x4s is what get more areas closed to us. Fee bad for the guy, but seems there’s a small bit of karma….
I think the Karma was appropriate. However it will probably be our insurance rates that pays for his Jeep. It's guys like this who pay no respect to where they are that provides the reason places get designated as no motorized vehicles. This guy will have had his fun and be long gone, but almost a guarantee some screaming greenie will be at the next BLM land use meeting with pictures of his tire tracks on 'their' single track.
@@Freedomquest08 Chances are good his insurance won't cover this.
@@Freedomquest08 most auto insurance doesn't cover damage off road.
But yeah he's the reason why we're losing trails. I'm an off road enthusiast and a mountain biker and it drives me nuts to see the damage people cause to trails because they can't be bothered to stick to proper trails. This doesn't just affect off road enthusiasts but also mountain bikers lose trails because of damage caused by reckless motorcycles and quads as well as brainless off roaders.
Why feel bad for the guy? He ended up with consequences that were a direct result of a series of really poor, irresponsible choices on his part. I feel bad for the people who won't get to enjoy being out in areas like this in 50 years because of idiots like him.
@@Freedomquest08 All they have to do is show it on TH-cam ! Insurance doesn't pay off pavement.
Matt is such an awesome leader, it's really quite amazing to see and we are all blessed to be able to witness his skills and the skills of his team first hand like this. I really enjoy watching these videos.
For having rolled over, that jeep didn't look too bad
Yeah
was thinking the same thing
@@lowermichigan4437 yeah
almost like they have a built in roll cage...
Simple fix
That was awesome . Those trucks would look great in a museum but they are actually brilliant working pieces of engineering. Four wheel steering?! You Americans have some seriously good kit. Thanks for that.
Kawlin and Rhett are rocking it, Kawlin totally cracked me up. The rest of the crew did great... Was that a rental? ha!!! Way to keep your composure... A new T-shirt design "Matt Saved My Stupid Butt". Just kidding... Great episode...
I DISAGREE : with the
"just kidding" part !
He SHOULD have a 2nd version
that has a DIFFERENT rear
shoulder phrase like *_THAT_*
instead ( i wonder how long it
would take for them to notice
it _doesn't_ say " we'll get 'em
out " ?? )
Think about it the Tee shirt is that already.🤔
Your boy all healed up! Good thing too see cause he looks like he's living the best he has after surgery. Even if maybe he still feels pain a bit. It the best he's walked and doing a damn good job stepping in.
A good video. Lots of safety and caution reminders in this episode.
Matt, I have been watching you for a while and I have to say that I don't believe I have ever seen you so focused and concerned about your crew. Great job!
I am sure that Matt is proud of Colin and Rhett being real troopers.
Spell your kid’s name like that and you’ll be “correcting” people your whole life
Finally, someone who knows how to spell Colin...
Must’ve been a long day for Matt, I’ve had those days before they’re not fun at all. Feels a lot better when you’re home resting and next day you’re recharged. Big respect to Matt and his crew for their hard work
That is so common that people do not follow rules because they believe it’s all about them and no one else matters. Plus common sense is sorely lacking throughout this world.
I call it uncommon sense for about the last 10 years
I use onx for the backcountry. Its been a game changer for being able to navigate/not get lost. Also in locating game when hunting after i take the shot. Onx is awesome.
I couldn’t help but laugh when he was standing at the top of that hill and following his tracks with his eyes, like how could this have happened 😂
Seen you everywhere on socials finally watched a few videos and instantly subscribed! Your willingness to help people is remarkable!
anyone else half expect a clip of tomtom on vacation?
Or at least a picture
I expected something either a picture of him on the beach or a video of him somewhere cool 😂
Lol, no but I should have.
Yeap
Prime example of the owner has "more money than brains". Matt's off road recovery is a WELL OILED MACHINE way to go crew!!!!
Excellent recovery guys.....the "master planner"(Matt) came up with a perfect plan
Totally agree with Rhett. It's amazing how little damage that Jeep sustained. Nice job, gents.
This is one where I would have said to the customer “No can do, you’re illegally off trail, and I’m not allowed down those trails, good luck!” Then told the authorities
We might not be getting the entire story here. There was an LEO on drive there.
@@The_Ballo Yeah, I'm thinking someone got a ticket. LEO usually does not like being on camera. For that guy's sake, hope it was County, not BLM.
It didn't look like those trails were very well marked, so while I'll advised, unless its clearly marked, inexperienced people can get into trouble fast with one wrong turn.
@@JimsEquipmentShed A fine will help him learn
@@The_Ballo better signage will help everyone.
Matt and crew did an awesome job getting that Jeep out of a rough situation, thanks for sharing this with me
When I was a rookie off roader, I made a lot of mistakes. I learned quickly that my vehicle was not indestructible and couldn’t go just anywhere. I think that people just getting into off roading should only go out with off road clubs until they gain some experience. That’s what I should have done. It would have saved me a lot of money and I wouldn’t have had to spend the night in my vehicle in the middle of nowhere more than once.
I think Paul kept someone from rolling a year ago. did not even look that steep
You guys never cease to amaze me. That was a great recovery.
I have to say I really enjoy watching you guys. you’ve got comedy along with adventure and everything else on your TH-cam channel and I really enjoy it. I just started watching you a few months back and watch a lot of the old series and you guys are just great.
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed how upset Matt looks in this one
I'm a mountain biker and there's definitely a stigma against OHV because of idiots doing stuff like this - it's nice to see people like Matt who take this kind of thing seriously, as there's plenty of nature for all of our different hobbies to coexist.
@@MattPulaI’m a hiker with the same opinion. There’s no reason we can’t all have fun in our individual ways if we show respect for each other.
@donniehalfhill4332, I did notice that he seemed mad but I couldn't figure out why until I read this section of the comments. I don't use public trails so it didn't automatically register with me.
@@MattPula You're using more diplomatic language that I would have.
@@The_Ballo lolol
That’s the first time I noticed your personalized WLORW plate. It’s perfect.
Always good to make sure you have permissions for the trails... the customer may have already breached and then draw you in too 🙂
That's where tools like OnX are so valuable, let people know where they can and can't (should or shouldn't) go!
Might be a good opportunity to show the rest of the overlanding community how to use OnX to avoid these off trail scenarios.
Jeep owner clearly ignored all the 'single track' signs and kept going regardless of how narrow the trail was.
Kaulin and Rhett are learning the business the right way.
Love this family and crew. Mat and Chad are doing it right.
(Others I have watched, not so much)
Now that was what the Biggest Off-Road Wrecker was designed for. Excellent Video to an Excellent Recovery. Stay safe ------
Y'know it may not be the image they want but that's actually a pretty good advert for Jeep. The passenger compartment is pretty much intact and it started right up after rolling it and it sitting upside down for however long :)
Love your videos. Love Rory. Love the music. Love the explanations. Love the scenery. Love seeing you go for meals. Love listening to two pros confer. Thank you.
HEY! Good morning and thumbs UP to Matt and crew!!
That was a gnarly rolled-over Rubicon recovery rescue...liked it!
Definitely a mountain bike trail system which some parts look fun to ride.
New trail feature: Rubicon tabletop
Actually an amazing place to ride. I travel out there several times a year from SoCal to ride.
This was amazing. The crew, how they all worked together was amazing. This has got to be one fun job
Hey Matt please give us an update on how Ed is doing ❤
That man is EXTREMELY lucky to have a pro team like yours to get him out with minimal damage!!!! Period!
