Hey, cameras and editing team: the beauty of Utah is easily a third of the reason we watch your vids. Don’t be afraid to point a camera at the landscape for an extra half-second once in a while. Maybe even a whole second, for a 360 mountaintop sunset. Those are beautiful moments. Let us share.
Years ago I use to watch a show on discovery ch that was a family run business. Nothing but yelling and fighting, however this show is the best show I've ever seen. I love the smiles and fun you have on your recoveries. I watch this show every new episode. I love the fact Matt cares so much about his customers, his family, and his employees. It's a far cry from the crap others produced back in the days of biker shows. I love this company and all its members. Rock on you guys, your the best.
@@lucifersHotrod.LHRC13 that could be taken either way my parents were raised in the day and age where saying I love you or any form of love was considered weakness, tough love was the norm, so even though they don't show it or don't say it , that doesn't define whether a parent really loves their child or not.
When Matt asked why a 3-quarter ton truck was up there, and that nice gentleman replied with, 'Well that's what he drives.' That's the best answer ever.😅
As a propane delivery driver, I visit these kind of locations occasionally, especially after storms and power outages, that's when they actually use propane up at the tower for generators. I have one location, the trail to the top is 2.8 miles, I can't drive my bobtail faster than 1 MPH, or everything in my cab will be all over the place, it's covered with rocks and cliffs for the road surface. So almost 3 hours just for that trail uphill. So, imagine having to go up and see a 33k GVWR propane truck on those trails, with 3400 gallon tank on the back.
I feel like I saw one of these recovery YT channels grab one of those a few years ago, but I think it was more snowy. Don't remember who. Maybe Robbie?
@@andrew40 It was Casey at Cascade Heavy Rescue, in central OR, during the winter. Fully-loaded propane truck that overturned. One of the gnarliest recoveries that I have ever seen.
As the guy who calls refuels in for cell towers I'm always amazed how you guys get up there. Some of these roads are brutal in a pickup truck, let alone a propane truck.
Back in the early 2000's I used to build these cell sites and have probably been to 95% of them in Utah. These roads are no joke and the camera's don't do them justice. I have been helicoptered in/out of sites, emergency snow catted in/out at Bryce Canyon, and almost slid off the side of a mountain numerous times. I have a ton of respect for the people that drive the big rigs up with the shelters and antenna equipment. It's a good thing I was young and dumb because they would send me up in any old truck with the crappiest tires. Got tons of great pictures though.
I’m a cable technician in Alabama for AT&T… we have some remote areas that I have to access in a 2WD bucket truck lol 😂 thankfully none of them are this bad, otherwise I’d be calling theses guys for a rescue. Awesome channel, thanks again for taking us along. ✝️🇺🇸🤙🏻
Kaetlyn is a stone cold beast. She has 100% trust in Matt. You guys always bring a smile. Love your stuff. Great content and all the happy faces. Good camera/edit work. Thank you.
@@xippzapwhere would you connect the center seat belt to? Yea it would reach over her but there isnt anywhere to connect it to bc usually the center belt comes from besides the driver seat belt connection point & goes over towards the passenger side & then connects next to the passenger side seat belt connection point.
Gary to Matt: Hey we have a Dodge Ram hanging off mountain high up on TV Tower Road, accessed by Hell Hole Pass Road. Matt to Gary: Sounds like we need Katelyn. Let me check with her and I'll get back to you. Matt to Katelyn: Hey we have a hair raising mountain side recovery up on TV Tower road, are you available? Katelyn to Matt: Sure lets go....with the perpetual big smile on her face! Knowing how cameras tend to lessen the actual steepness of terrain, and knowing what its like being in such places, Great respect how the whole team including Jamie in the Morvair, handled this high pucker-factor recovery without any made-up drama. Great filming and editing as usual. Thank You! Peace!
I didn't think anyone could fill Lizzy's shoes...or boots🤔 But now I feel the same about Katelynn. She's used to the camera now and showing her sweet personality and awesome skills. A very talented and respectful young Lady.
I have a confession to make and an apology to her. I didn't like her irritating giggle-laugh. It had become less and and less irritating as she became used to the camera. She a badass driver and had some other awe-inspiring skills on the job.
Let’s hear it for the men and maybe ladies that drove the cement truck up that road to pour that foundation and of course the others transporting all the other equipment up there. 😳 then the propane truck to fill up those backup tanks. Great job guys
Cement is transported to a staging area a mile below the top and then hauled up in the buckets of skid loaders. The only other option is to mix small batches onsite. Water is a problem.
The best recovery ever! Kaitlin and Jamie are Rockstars! Few men would get in that truck, a foot from death an not be choked up - Listening to Matt was crucial in the recovery, the shared confidence is obvious. Great Job Team!
I recently came across a statistic on official driving tests in Germany: >99.9% were carried out in manual cars until a few years ago. One big reason for this was that if you had taken the test in an automatic car, your driving license would only be valid for automatic cars.
It is so incredibly heart-warming the content you produce. Never really giving crap to people who blunder, and so many friendly and funny souls. Cheers!!!
Matt, I don't know where your recent Zen has come from, but it is admirable. It is clear how much you care for your team and how you nurture them. This masculinity.
Wow the mixer drivers that delivered all that concrete up there had to be the best and most experienced, and same with the propane delivery drivers, the construction workers that built that place up there driving up and down every day I give them props, have a nice day
Gary Smith in the video built most of that. That was his career for 50+ years, building radio and TV towers all over the Mtn West. He dragged a trailer mixer up there and poured a ton, built the road to access it, etc. He also welded a ton of those towers together, building them on site from the ground up. He still services them even though he's retired.
@@davemcdaniel4856 I was thinking mixing on site only option. Or too wet a mix to avoid truck rock. I have seen a few dry loads the tires squat, then dang near lift on level ground.
Yes, that recovery was a total creep out for me. Seriously raised the pucker factor and ice cold chills. I do not like heights and my single story rancher roof is my limit! Here in Colorado we have some very high roadways and I must be getting old as they didn't used to bother me. That tower road was nuts! Gave me the collywobbles just watching you. BTW...I love flying...go figure! LOL! Well done, Team MORR!
i watch to realize how can someone drive off a clear dirt road. like this guy he jus went uhhhh the road is 5 feet to the left. better just keep driving to the right.
16:20 - always good advice, dagnabbit (but why do we have to say it at all?!). THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MORE ENTERTAINING! MORR vids that I have seen lately. I must admit I have been remiss in viewing all the recent content, but this one right here makes it all worthwhile. And I am glad, too, that I have all of the recovery equipment seen in this vid, plus more. I am pre-pared! sirs. And Ladies. How great is it to see your young staff evolve. We miss Lizzy, yes, but Cait/Kate is revealing herself to be a real peach. God bless everyone at MORR. Cheers!
Always impressed by Caitlyn's skill set and cool demeanor. I know a lot of guys (including me) who would be freaking out sitting in that truck on the edge of oblivion!
The amount of hands on involvement you get your daughter involved in impresses me every time. Good job as a dad Matt. I cant wait to see the videos of what she's going to be capable of in another decade. She'll put most grown men to shame. Hats off to you on that one and good job on Katelynn (sorry if I spelt that incorrectly)
Matt- why is there a three-quarter ton dodge up here? Customer, without missing a beat- well, that’s what Dennis drives. Another great video/ recovery! 👍
Oh my gosh! This was the most stressful and scenic recovery I have watched you folks do!! You literally were on a mountain ridge. To the left or right side was down!! Yikes. Amazing recovery and even more epic views. Stay safe and thanks for all the adventures.
I couldn't tell you how many of your videos I've watched over the years, not a big "commenter," but this is the very first one that I was on the edge of my seat. Great job, guys.
seat belt locked? .... break out a Matt's Strap! Great job! It never ceases to amaze me how y'all jump in and tackle a precarious recovery like this and make it seem as easy as helping someone who has jumped the curb at Walmart!
Another dangerous recovery on top of Mount Crumbly and the Moorvair, Jaymie, KateLynn and Dillon recovered the Ram from the edge of cliff! Good video and awesome scenery and sunset!
I have a huge respect for those that put up those installations out in the middle of nowhere and huge respect for you going out there to save these guys. The confidence in your abilities is really inspiring
Matt, you’re truly an inspiring leader! Watching you and your crew in action is always a pleasure. You have such a keen awareness of everything going on and a deep understanding of each team member’s unique strengths. The way you mentor and empower others by letting them take the reins is incredible-it’s a real testament to your teaching style. I wish you all the success, not just in your business and on this channel, but also as a future speaker sharing your insights on leadership. Can’t wait to see more from you and the team!
Totally awesome recovery! Great job all of you! I did love seeing Matt get SO nervous as his wife was unable to interpret his signals and try to put the Moorvair into a VERY treacherous position. Fortunately Matt from Mars and Jamie from Venus got stopped and then started on getting the signals correct and NOBODY went off the mountain! I love Kaitlyn plucky fearlessness! You go girl!
At 10:28 you can see the propane tanks behind Matt. Yes I've been up to cell/radio towers, in a bobtail. We don't have 4 wheel drive and we weigh substantially more, it's not a fun drive but boy are the views gorgeous.
My late father used to run repeater sites on the big mountains around LA. This whole adventure reminds me of being a little kid looking down at LA while he worked on radio gear. Of course I liked to climb up the towers while he wasn't looking. Regarding the seat belt thing, my dad also spent so much time going up mountains back in old trucks (with old bad brakes), he used to take his seat belt off coming down them so he could jump out if he lost his brakes! He'd always drive slow enough that if he felt the pedal go to the floor he'd have enough time to get out.
what great work team ,you all had trust in everyone else ,,,,the dream team,sorry but gee Im sure all you guys deserve and hug to say thanks for the things you do ,love to meet you guys sometime ,Cheers Glenn from New Zealand
Wow! What a fun place to dangle off a mountain! Katelynn is a champ. Cracks me up to know when you filmed something on a Wednesday. I think the whole crew needs pink bibs or coveralls for Wednesdays!
Amazing job guys !!......again Caitlin impressed the crap out of me driving that stick.....Jamie also.....nerves of steel (trying to figure out Matt's hand signals.....😅
Katelynn is the "Bomb"...always smiling, eager to do especially crazy recoveries...well done. The whole crew is awesome..Jaime is fearless in her own way...terrific.
What I love is the shoe choice of the ladies on the vid, Jamie in Jesus-cruisers and Katelynn's Chucks. I was in LV and got out to Zion 11/7 but didn't manage to stop in Hurricane to stop by.
Hey, we were in St. George a week ago and came by the shop. Only the merch shop was open, but fun to see the Morrvair, Banana and Wrecker sitting in the yard, just like I've seen them on the vids! Handily, also picked up a hard-to-find bottle of rye whiskey in town 😎
Que lindo paisaje, uno de los mejores que he visto en estos videos, deseo con muchas ganas ir a Utah algún día ya que soy de Costa Rica, Pura Vida Matt and his crew 🙌🏼😎
I always wished I was part of a family business like this. Having a father teach me these types of things and taking over the family business would be awesome.
Those roads to mountain top radio sites brings back memories of my youth. My dad would servce many of those types of sites through the Utah, Az, Nevada, Colorado area back in the old vacuum tube days when they needed worked on fairly often. On occasion he would let me go with him which was a great adventure be it traveling in the truck or the snowcat. It still amazes me how much was done back then with lots less capable vehicles than what we have today.
Reminds me of when I was a child too. In Oregon on weekends my family would drive on old logging roads to the top of mountains. There’s usually a fire watch tower on the highest peaks. We’d have picnic then drive home. When family from Texas would visit we’d take them up there. They were very scared of going off the edge’s because it was a long way to the bottom and very steep.
@@billbradley2480 My dad took the whole family on forest road detours on the way to grandma's house, and my sister would cry when she had to be on the side of the car that looked down the mountain. 1971 Ford LTD, with an open differential and hi-tech "radial" tires LOL. We also drove to mountain tops like this in our 2WD 1969 F100, also with an open differential. Momentum is your friend, while going uphill!
Just fyi, when you told Kaitlin not to put it in gear @14:37 while rolling downhill -- big mistake. IF the engine quits, brakes will be ineffective, it'll be in neutral and it will roll uncontrolled downhill. Heavy truck with no power brakes not good. You want it in first gear, press the clutch for neutral. If the engine quits, pop the clutch to keep the wheels from turning. 4wd would be best . That way all four wheels are engaged in stopping it with a dead engine but 2wd is the next best option. She's too young to roll off Crumpet mountain.
@@marcospitter910 You want it in first gear, with the clutch pressed. This essentially is neutral, with the safety that if the engine quits, Catelyn can pop the clutch and the non running engine will stop the truck and not have to depend on non working brakes -- because the boost pump will not be working either. You should try learning stick shift. It'll change your life
@@PeapickerTheGreat I've never driven automatic. Always manual (Argentina) That's why I say what I say. It's not a faulty crap a## carburetor dude it's a diesel engine. Why would the thing stall??
Hi there! The sound we can hear at 0:37, when Matt opens the gas cap, indicates that there is a vacuum in the gas tank and the air bleeder is not working. This can lead to some loss of engine power and difficulty for the fuel pump. Sorry if you already knew this. Thank you very much for all your videos and your great work, which we can witness)) Best wishes,
Hi all, a bit late to the party, but as I live right on the Coast of Essex, England, at 10PM UK time its 8C, and we have not had sunshine for a few days, as we start our winter season. NEVER give up hope of a sunshine day here. Thanks all.
It took you longer to drive from Hurricane than it did to do the job, lol. Every time I had to go up there, I would wonder how the first dozer operator felt cutting in that road. It got torn up really bad by the monsoons of 2012 (or 13?) - the year highway 91 was wiped out and the Santa Clara and Virgin rivers did so much damage in the valleys. It looks like they fixed it really well, but I know how you felt on those crazy-steep switchbacks. Go team Katelynn and Jamie!
Maybe time for a Matt's strap recovery seatbelt? Something that can attach somehow to the seat or frame to give some kind of protection in the case the seatbelt isn't working?
Hey Matt, been watching your teams videos without a miss for at least 2 years and I think this was the best rigging I have ever seen here. I would never thought of the second rope attached to the back of the morrvair
Matt you made it look way too easy,good job ,that spot in a way for lack of a better analogy was rather romantic,absolutely beautiful.The definition of an escape from reality one might say as 99.9% of the time we never ever get such incredible views of the world around us,thanks bud,your videos have been educational and a welcome short escape from everyday turbulence to be polite.
That's the job that honestly I would LOVE to do, but unfortunately in my place in EU not that many people do offroad. Every job you do is just like an another adventure. I'm kinda jaleous 😂
Being married and a dad now with a little girl (3). THIS video made me very proud for you. That feeling you get watching your kid and work work to help you succeed 🤙🏼🙏🏼
Katelynn, at 10:34 "This is a manual transmission . . ." Me : so, normal. While a torque converter is sometimes the best thing for the job, there are also occasions when the finesse of a manual clutch is all you need.
Agreed. Maybe it's because I grew up with it but diesel torque coupled to a manual and low range transfer case is my favorite way to go off road, you pretty much let the clutch out and nothing other than very steep or wet and slippery is going to stop you.
Pretty scary recovery situation. And no seatbelt. But man that beautiful sound of that Cummins idling... And manual shift. Put that on low and no need throttle, them tires would turn. Good job Katelyn
11:07 something could be MacGyver if you wanted to, there’s a solution to every problem, collect a selection of seatbelt buckles from the junk yard (the big brands/common types) at least , modify a junk belt to have fixings on the ends that either clamp to the recovery vehicles existing belt or fixings at the top and the seat base at the bottom, cam locks/carabiners or mini soft shackles, add a tensioner so it’ll suit most people and vehicles. Kudos to Kaytlynn I’m sure is not easy holding yourself up at that angle for that long feathering the pedals.
Would be a good idea if vehicle buckle was locked low. It looks like they are locked with buckle shoulder height? Then of course no idea variety of buckles? A thin door lock pin? To correct male ends might work… there are 5 manufactures. No clue how many designs. I looked at a car. It had sat in closed but not vented shed MN +5 years. Some mold, rust. They replaced drivers seat/shoulder belt from bone yard. *I assume same brand wreck*. I test drove it, twisted. Buckle unlatched. Not 30 lbs force it jumped out. Maybe rust, grit? But female end was in car, male end bone yard. No thanks,
“What’s a 3/4 ton dodge doing up here?” Well, I’m a propane delivery driver and what I noticed were the two 1,000 gallon tanks, so somehow a 33,000 pound bobtail is making it up there.
There was some really smart strategy there, and some excellent commands and instructions from the Team Leader Matt aimed at lowering risk. Fun to watch such a well oiled machine. Matt was on his A game today as was the rest of the team. OK, maybe not today, but whenever this was shot. :( Databyter
They didn’t put that much load on the pillars. It’s not like the pillars just sit on the surface, they are very secure to support the towers in extreme winds. Do you not remember that they will anchor on trees and bushes and those work fine?
Those pillars go several feet and we're talking probably 20 to 30 or more into the ground and they're filled with concrete. Whoever runs the TV service for that area will not raise holy terror over that.
Wow. Wow. I knew matt was smart to let other people drive all the time and get them used to hard offroad stuff (although Kaitlyn is already a rockcrawler) and then he can manage the situation, look all around and see the big picture and direct everything. Great job.
Note to engineers: if you ever install a propane tank on a far off mountain top in the middle of nowhere, make sure some cowboy can't come around and be able to rip it out of the ground with the help of two vehicles.
Good job guys! It's a shame those radio stations are such high power, only a few hundred thousand watts... It's nice to see the family get together, work well together, and having a good time! I was in Moab back in May, but made it in and out without needing help.... 😊

Oh my gosh! This was the most stressful and scenic recovery I have watched you folks do!! You literally were on a mountain ridge. To the left or right side was down!! Yikes.
Amazing recovery and even more epic views.
Stay safe and thanks for all the adventures.
I couldn't tell you how many of your videos I've watched over the years, not a big "commenter," but this is the very first one that I was on the edge of my seat. Great job, guys.
seat belt locked? .... break out a Matt's Strap!
Great job! It never ceases to amaze me how y'all jump in and tackle a precarious recovery like this and make it seem as easy as helping someone who has jumped the curb at Walmart!
They want to be able to jump clear out of the truck, the second it goes over the cliff. They have a better chance of surviving a roll over
With the ever confident Katelyn. Always good to see her smile. God Bless!
Another dangerous recovery on top of Mount Crumbly and the Moorvair, Jaymie, KateLynn and Dillon recovered the Ram from the edge of cliff! Good video and awesome scenery and sunset!
I have a huge respect for those that put up those installations out in the middle of nowhere and huge respect for you going out there to save these guys. The confidence in your abilities is really inspiring
Matt, you’re truly an inspiring leader! Watching you and your crew in action is always a pleasure. You have such a keen awareness of everything going on and a deep understanding of each team member’s unique strengths. The way you mentor and empower others by letting them take the reins is incredible-it’s a real testament to your teaching style. I wish you all the success, not just in your business and on this channel, but also as a future speaker sharing your insights on leadership. Can’t wait to see more from you and the team!
Well said 💯
Totally awesome recovery! Great job all of you! I did love seeing Matt get SO nervous as his wife was unable to interpret his signals and try to put the Moorvair into a VERY treacherous position. Fortunately Matt from Mars and Jamie from Venus got stopped and then started on getting the signals correct and NOBODY went off the mountain! I love Kaitlyn plucky fearlessness! You go girl!
Great work team, an Katelynn is a driving beast…. My full respect for her skills, and Matt’s teaching….. well done fellas….
She brought a lot of crawling and offroad skills to MORR. She's been a successful competitor for years now with her dad. Matt hired well.
At 10:28 you can see the propane tanks behind Matt. Yes I've been up to cell/radio towers, in a bobtail. We don't have 4 wheel drive and we weigh substantially more, it's not a fun drive but boy are the views gorgeous.
Katelynn needs a raise! She's a great employee and asset to the group!
Corrected. Thanks for the heads up
Driving skills yes
risks life to save idiot
I miss Lizzy
I liked Lizzy better
My late father used to run repeater sites on the big mountains around LA. This whole adventure reminds me of being a little kid looking down at LA while he worked on radio gear. Of course I liked to climb up the towers while he wasn't looking. Regarding the seat belt thing, my dad also spent so much time going up mountains back in old trucks (with old bad brakes), he used to take his seat belt off coming down them so he could jump out if he lost his brakes! He'd always drive slow enough that if he felt the pedal go to the floor he'd have enough time to get out.
Good afternoon from Namibia. Love the crew and the dogs
The dogs are the best part!
That's so awesome to hear! Love from all around the world
Katelynn is a warrior, very brave girl doing that recovery, she has no fear, great job everyone on a successfull recovery. thanks for sharing
Well done on the Recovery ,, really sketchy place to be ,,,, BUT the Construction Teams who planted those Radio Towers up there 😱
3:39 western Pennsylvania resident here. Man that’s beautiful!
Kaitlynn is absolutely fearless! She exudes confidence!
what great work team ,you all had trust in everyone else ,,,,the dream team,sorry but gee Im sure all you guys deserve and hug to say thanks for the things you do ,love to meet you guys sometime ,Cheers Glenn from New Zealand
Rams do that. 😎☕️Goodmorning crew!
That Ram tried to be a mountain goat.
Yeah, they go places that ford and chevrolet are afraid to go.
@BFTEgodswarrio5939 yeah, over a cliff lol
Wow!! That was quite the recovery! Katelyn, what a trooper and Jamie is tremendous too! What an effort!
Wow! What a fun place to dangle off a mountain! Katelynn is a champ. Cracks me up to know when you filmed something on a Wednesday. I think the whole crew needs pink bibs or coveralls for Wednesdays!
Amazing job guys !!......again Caitlin impressed the crap out of me driving that stick.....Jamie also.....nerves of steel (trying to figure out Matt's hand signals.....😅
What a beautiful spot and evening for a recovery.
Katelynn is the "Bomb"...always smiling, eager to do especially crazy recoveries...well done.
The whole crew is awesome..Jaime is fearless in her own way...terrific.
3:10 "Jamie: we're high Matt: very high hehehehe" I feel like that should be clipped 😏
What I love is the shoe choice of the ladies on the vid, Jamie in Jesus-cruisers and Katelynn's Chucks. I was in LV and got out to Zion 11/7 but didn't manage to stop in Hurricane to stop by.
Hey Matt! If you're feeling toasty after that job it's the microwave antenna heating you up! Thanks for a great video! Be safe out there!!
Lol
Everyone got there dose of radiation n that recovery.
Was thinking the same but then saw what I assumed to be radomes were the propane tanks. Whew.
@@jasonh4167 towers like that aren't going to hurt you. It's all non-ionizing radiation
Hey, we were in St. George a week ago and came by the shop. Only the merch shop was open, but fun to see the Morrvair, Banana and Wrecker sitting in the yard, just like I've seen them on the vids!
Handily, also picked up a hard-to-find bottle of rye whiskey in town 😎
Que lindo paisaje, uno de los mejores que he visto en estos videos, deseo con muchas ganas ir a Utah algún día ya que soy de Costa Rica, Pura Vida Matt and his crew 🙌🏼😎
do it! the southern end of the state has many national and state parks for good reason ❤
I always wished I was part of a family business like this. Having a father teach me these types of things and taking over the family business would be awesome.
Those roads to mountain top radio sites brings back memories of my youth. My dad would servce many of those types of sites through the Utah, Az, Nevada, Colorado area back in the old vacuum tube days when they needed worked on fairly often. On occasion he would let me go with him which was a great adventure be it traveling in the truck or the snowcat. It still amazes me how much was done back then with lots less capable vehicles than what we have today.
Reminds me of when I was a child too. In Oregon on weekends my family would drive on old logging roads to the top of mountains. There’s usually a fire watch tower on the highest peaks. We’d have picnic then drive home. When family from Texas would visit we’d take them up there. They were very scared of going off the edge’s because it was a long way to the bottom and very steep.
@@billbradley2480 My dad took the whole family on forest road detours on the way to grandma's house, and my sister would cry when she had to be on the side of the car that looked down the mountain. 1971 Ford LTD, with an open differential and hi-tech "radial" tires LOL. We also drove to mountain tops like this in our 2WD 1969 F100, also with an open differential. Momentum is your friend, while going uphill!
We love your show Matt, blessings to you and yours .
Katlyn you've gone a long way 👏🏼 Good job kid ,keep it 💯 💪🏼
Awesome clutch work Kaitlyn
You guys are amazing! Katelynn did an amazing job and is definitely a great addition to the team!! Keep up the great work y'all!!
Just fyi, when you told Kaitlin not to put it in gear @14:37 while rolling downhill -- big mistake. IF the engine quits, brakes will be ineffective, it'll be in neutral and it will roll uncontrolled downhill. Heavy truck with no power brakes not good. You want it in first gear, press the clutch for neutral. If the engine quits, pop the clutch to keep the wheels from turning. 4wd would be best . That way all four wheels are engaged in stopping it with a dead engine but 2wd is the next best option. She's too young to roll off Crumpet mountain.
1st gear idle would be too fast for that hill wth are you talking about?
@@marcospitter910 You want it in first gear, with the clutch pressed. This essentially is neutral, with the safety that if the engine quits, Catelyn can pop the clutch and the non running engine will stop the truck and not have to depend on non working brakes -- because the boost pump will not be working either.
You should try learning stick shift. It'll change your life
@@PeapickerTheGreat I've never driven automatic. Always manual (Argentina) That's why I say what I say. It's not a faulty crap a## carburetor dude it's a diesel engine. Why would the thing stall??
Katelynn and mom , excellent driving! Matt that was a scary place to maneuver!!! I can't believe the customer was up there!
Matt and Jaymie have four children, all sons.
Hi there!
The sound we can hear at 0:37, when Matt opens the gas cap, indicates that there is a vacuum in the gas tank and the air bleeder is not working. This can lead to some loss of engine power and difficulty for the fuel pump. Sorry if you already knew this.
Thank you very much for all your videos and your great work, which we can witness))
Best wishes,
I heard that as well.
The pressure is venting OUT due to the hot weather.
@@bubbles9052 Either way, I think the tank needs venting.
some sort of venting issue as fuel is leaking out at 6:25
@@shaneyboi5793 Wow! Great catch. It is amazing what people can see and pick out in TH-cam videos.
Hi all, a bit late to the party, but as I live right on the Coast of Essex, England, at 10PM UK time its 8C, and we have not had sunshine for a few days, as we start our winter season. NEVER give up hope of a sunshine day here. Thanks all.
It took you longer to drive from Hurricane than it did to do the job, lol. Every time I had to go up there, I would wonder how the first dozer operator felt cutting in that road. It got torn up really bad by the monsoons of 2012 (or 13?) - the year highway 91 was wiped out and the Santa Clara and Virgin rivers did so much damage in the valleys. It looks like they fixed it really well, but I know how you felt on those crazy-steep switchbacks. Go team Katelynn and Jamie!
I love watching your videos. Humble and always so kind to each other. Your growth and ability to problem solve is so impressive.
Katelynn is such a good sport!
That was awsome. That guy sure was glad to see y’all.
Beautiful view!
Maybe time for a Matt's strap recovery seatbelt? Something that can attach somehow to the seat or frame to give some kind of protection in the case the seatbelt isn't working?
If that vehicle starts rolling you want to be able to escape quickly
If she really felt the need of a restraint, maybe they coulda harnessed her to the morvair.
Hey Matt, been watching your teams videos without a miss for at least 2 years and I think this was the best rigging I have ever seen here. I would never thought of the second rope attached to the back of the morrvair
I admire the person who drove the concrete truck up there.
Matt you made it look way too easy,good job ,that spot in a way for lack of a better analogy was rather romantic,absolutely beautiful.The definition of an escape from reality one might say as 99.9% of the time we never ever get such incredible views of the world around us,thanks bud,your videos have been educational and a welcome short escape from everyday turbulence to be polite.
"Relax, I'm A Professional " Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Matt is a true leader. The girls did a fantastic job.
That's the job that honestly I would LOVE to do, but unfortunately in my place in EU not that many people do offroad. Every job you do is just like an another adventure. I'm kinda jaleous 😂
Oh yah, we all are lol. What an amazing job right? And it's got to feel so good to finish the job and see people's happy smiles
Wow, I've been watching for awhile and your videos are awesome with the editing, and experience! You killed it on this video.
To quote Terry Pratchett: "You get a wonderful view from the point of no return"
Yall are such a great team. Love how Kaitlyn is down for whatever and isn't scared. She gets the job done ! 👍🏼💯
Being married and a dad now with a little girl (3). THIS video made me very proud for you. That feeling you get watching your kid and work work to help you succeed 🤙🏼🙏🏼
Matt, your knowledge and skill in recovery work is incredible to watch. Really enjoy your channel!
Katelynn, at 10:34 "This is a manual transmission . . ."
Me : so, normal.
While a torque converter is sometimes the best thing for the job, there are also occasions when the finesse of a manual clutch is all you need.
I am amazed that a manual gearbox option even exists on such a truck. Maybe there is hope for the world 😁😄
I believe that's an NV5600 too. Really strong 6 speed
@@PesmogDon't have too much faith lol. It's sad to say but I give it 10 years and they won't even be making them anymore
@@Pesmog 2018 was the last year that Ram offered a manual and they were the last holdout, Ford and Chevy ditched manuals in trucks long before.
Agreed. Maybe it's because I grew up with it but diesel torque coupled to a manual and low range transfer case is my favorite way to go off road, you pretty much let the clutch out and nothing other than very steep or wet and slippery is going to stop you.
You guys rock! The trust the team has in Matt is commendable! Great recovery! Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊
I often wonder what people are thinking when they do these things. Gravity is not forgiving, especially at that height.
Pretty scary recovery situation. And no seatbelt. But man that beautiful sound of that Cummins idling... And manual shift. Put that on low and no need throttle, them tires would turn. Good job Katelyn
A girl that's been upside down in a rock crawling rig _KNOWS_ the value of her seat belt. I trust her to know what's up.
Holy crap! That's nutso. Matt's rescue (& the whole team) is amazing!
11:07 something could be MacGyver if you wanted to, there’s a solution to every problem, collect a selection of seatbelt buckles from the junk yard (the big brands/common types) at least , modify a junk belt to have fixings on the ends that either clamp to the recovery vehicles existing belt or fixings at the top and the seat base at the bottom, cam locks/carabiners or mini soft shackles, add a tensioner so it’ll suit most people and vehicles.
Kudos to Kaytlynn I’m sure is not easy holding yourself up at that angle for that long feathering the pedals.
Would be a good idea if vehicle buckle was locked low. It looks like they are locked with buckle shoulder height? Then of course no idea variety of buckles? A thin door lock pin? To correct male ends might work… there are 5 manufactures. No clue how many designs. I looked at a car. It had sat in closed but not vented shed MN +5 years. Some mold, rust. They replaced drivers seat/shoulder belt from bone yard. *I assume same brand wreck*. I test drove it, twisted. Buckle unlatched. Not 30 lbs force it jumped out. Maybe rust, grit? But female end was in car, male end bone yard. No thanks,
What a kid! She’s got nerves of steel . Mom n dad must be proud!
1:28 They misspelled Heck Hole.
...it's Utha, they're not allowed to cuss...🤷♂
@@wilgerdes3240 What is Utha?
Interesting fyi if you did not notice, at minute 1:28-1:29 zoom into the sky if you blink you will miss it. Have a great day
Excellent!!! What more can I say? Great team, great scenery and great recovery.
“What’s a 3/4 ton dodge doing up here?” Well, I’m a propane delivery driver and what I noticed were the two 1,000 gallon tanks, so somehow a 33,000 pound bobtail is making it up there.
There was some really smart strategy there, and some excellent commands and instructions from the Team Leader Matt aimed at lowering risk. Fun to watch such a well oiled machine. Matt was on his A game today as was the rest of the team. OK, maybe not today, but whenever this was shot. :( Databyter
Dropped a sub, can’t wait to see more of your content!
That was crazy. Beautiful views thanks
Whoever operates that tower setup will raise holy terror if they find out you used their pillars for anchors.
As a trail user I was just thinking "oh man they'll just that as an excuse to gate the road"
They didn’t put that much load on the pillars. It’s not like the pillars just sit on the surface, they are very secure to support the towers in extreme winds. Do you not remember that they will anchor on trees and bushes and those work fine?
Those pillars go several feet and we're talking probably 20 to 30 or more into the ground and they're filled with concrete. Whoever runs the TV service for that area will not raise holy terror over that.
Wow. Wow. I knew matt was smart to let other people drive all the time and get them used to hard offroad stuff (although Kaitlyn is already a rockcrawler) and then he can manage the situation, look all around and see the big picture and direct everything. Great job.
Note to engineers: if you ever install a propane tank on a far off mountain top in the middle of nowhere, make sure some cowboy can't come around and be able to rip it out of the ground with the help of two vehicles.
It’s just nice to see genuine people doing what they love and doing it very well!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Katelyn did that clutch some justice, impressive foot work!!!!
What a view! NW North Carolina mountains are home, but Utah has my heart.
Good job guys! It's a shame those radio stations are such high power, only a few hundred thousand watts...
It's nice to see the family get together, work well together, and having a good time! I was in Moab back in May, but made it in and out without needing help.... 😊
