This road is so soft most of the cars won't even make it down the hill. One of those was a Tesla Model 3!
Watch us rescue a couple of ladies stuck on the sand dunes

Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
Matt and the crew secretly dumping sand in popular trails at night time ;).
🤣🤣🤣
That was hilarious
I mean I guess they could but that’d be a lot of work
First of all why would you drive a car that’s not 4x4 in the sand lmfao
That must be what's happening to all the sand on the coast
Yes they pay your bills of sand
Seeing you rescue all these expensive new vehicles in a unibody jeep from decades past is oddly entertaining for me. You are so professional about it, too.
the Jeep is body on frame... 9:06
@Cole Johnson then what am I looking at when he's under the truck?
@@gwot where the driveshaft enters the diff, it is offset up or down. A low pinion is on the bottom and a high pinion is the high point.
You're kinda both right. The XJ has what's called a "un" which is a unibody welded to a solid frame, rather than having body pieces bolted to a frame like traditional BoF.
@@xaderalert Its still two pieces of square tubing that run along the bottom of jeep right.
towing that Tesla probably gave it 20 miles of range from regen.
I got lost on UA-cam and found this channel. I'm glad I got lost because this is awesome to watch. It's nice to see a team of professionals doing offroad recovery. Even the most extreme situations You guys are calm and organised. Much better than the fake drama and scripted scenarios on reality tv shows from platforms like netflix.
You were lost and didn't know what you really needed was to get saved by this channel. Another successful recovery
Organized😂 everything but. can't wait till you become part of the family this is an amazing wholesome Channel I love when they raise money for charities and other kinds of things helping out in the community
We need to get Matt a tire sponsor. I feel like he's a tire sponsors dream.
Yeah the problem is he wishes he could buy the tires bald already!!!!
He should do tire reviews for different brands and models. Free tires for Matt!!
I emailed a few manufacturers PR emails. Might not do anything but never hurts to try and help a bald tire fella out 😂
You don't want monster tread when you do as much sand driving as Matt does, the big tread blocks dig up the sand instead of rolling along the top. He's said in other videos that the tyres now are pretty much the perfect amount of wear.
I bet Goodyear would pay a lot of money right now for Matt to use their tires! DON’T DO IT MATT...
Randy needs an offroad Segway for filming, the poor man is always at death's door 🤣🤣🤣.
@Samuel Lim True, thanks for the correction mate. I'm changing It right now.
@@ofmyownaccord Cool!!!
Or he should get him asma medicin
back to the future HoverBoard, I'm thinking
Lizzie is a Champ!! She will be an asset to any company she works for. Proactive, Positive, Not Afraid!! With that said the camera crew are the unsung Heroes, running beside the tow!!
That sand pit is the perfect spot for Matt to install a sign advertising his business
Ed is so accurate he even described our weather way over here in Missouri perfectly.
Good thing we don't have the sand they do
I saw your comment before I watched the video, and almost spit my coffee out after the weather report.
Yup nice and hot in Northern Missouri
Ditto in Florida...how. Does he do that!!?? 🤔
Central MO too!!
Still the best channel on UA-cam. Wholesome, family oriented, no unnecessary cussing. Matt never castrates a guy for getting stuck, even when the vehicle costs 5 times more than the XJ. Lol
Exactly, reminds me of the good old integrity days. Ed reminds me of my grandpaps. Wisdom is a gift to be cherished like old guys with some miles in their eyes.
Wholesome? From someone named Kraven Moorhead? LMFAO
"castrates"?? so much for family oriented commenting. Explain that term to your kid in the context of your comment, lol
i think you want to say 'castigates' instead.
He probably meant 'chastised'. Just an educated guess
2:10 I dont think this is something you're supposed to say to a recovery person 😂 "We'll call you again!"
The boy is from Spain. Here, in Spain, when a professional makes a good job, we say " I'll call you again " as a compliment for a very good job done. Obviously they boy don't want to get stuck again, but if would happens, he'd call again Matt
I've said, "We'll see each other soon" to a blind person. Some things are automatic.
I once automatically said "have fun!" to a guy going to his deceased friend's 1 year memorial service... ugh... (But it was a beautiful spring day up in the snowy mountains, and I was skiing.)
You and your crew are the epitome of professionalism & patience when dealing with the public. Great effort and great ambassador for the recovery industry, as a whole.
Well recently Matt did say he wanted to tow a Tesla. Cross that one off the bucket list.
Lol was looking for this comment 🤣
LOL
The two that got stuck
Heavy heavy cars. Those poor batteries are probably baking with thier low coolant level.
@@lolbuster01 LOL WRONG. It had no problem in that weather. Teslas are popular in AUSTRALIA!
You've never felt true Hot Weather until walking A mile in 48C.
Randy has been getting his steps in for sure
I really hope Randy reads all these comments. Some are golden.
I hope he's wearing his Fitbit. 🤣
Watching this again (and many others) after today's video about Lizzy moving on to the family farm, she will be missed on this channel, but, what a privilege to watch her grow and thrive under the MORR family tutelage. You taught her well, Matt and Jaymie!! Hopefully, she will stop in from time to time, but, I know how life gets in the way sometimes.
Something I’ve learned off roading in dunes in a 2wd is Keep a consistent speed, don’t stop, and never lift!
They all stopped to take a pic of the sign lol
And air down.
The car counter dinger should really be the sound of a cash register opening. That road is like an ATM that never stops spitting out money
Randy and Tim's conditioning - 3.7/10
Lizzy's adeptness - 9/10
Matt's dry humour and beard - 9.2/10
Ed's forecast and Browning mossy oak hat - 10/10
still prefer for help a sweet girl like Lizzy to Ed
Hope he is OK he was really huffing and puffing. Don't want him to pass out.
You said it all, Man!
I started with more recent videos and have been working my way from the beginning now, and it's fun to see the "cast" fill out to the lineup they have now, as well as to see the evolution of the channel.
The sand is basically your best friend for easier work unlike the persons stuck in the really steep stuff. Glad to hear you are using Dana 60 axles. I went to chrome moly stub axles, cost more to buy but never had to replace one so great way to go. Thanks Matt and great crew.
Now the Banana is just showing off, pulling two pickups at the same time lol.
new girl lizzie?? day 1 ' i'm learning the ropes' .. day 2 giving weather reports ... yeah she learns fast
888johnmac she’s kinda cute also
@@blaketerry8569 ditto, she should be a regular.
😂 Learning the ropes from ed 👍🏻
Mark Caputo I agree
If I recall (could be wrong) i think she is rudy's girl/f, as per a previous video, very cute
When it comes to sand, air pressure is key. I go anywhere i want in the Oregon dunes and i have a 2wd Tacoma. Air down, choose your route wisely and let her eat.
These vehicles failed because electronic traction control cut power to the drivetrain. It's amazing on ice, worthless in sand. You're brave taking a 2wd pickup in the dunes. I like that.
@@nathanegbert977 it's worthless on ice too if you're stuck. basically it sucks when you're stuck, you need a little wheel spin, or at least momentum to keep the car moving.
@@gwot traction control is good for stupids in rain who don't slow down and useless pretty much the rest of the time. It wouldnt be so bad if you can turn it off but these days off doesnt really even mean off anymore which sucks.
"You saved our lives" looool they sure weren't happy with eachother about that situation xD Ready to snap on each other but managed to kept it chill :)
You're talking about that girl and her girlfriend?
@@frzburn No, the first couple from Spain.
I can imagine their stress though, stuck and they said people were telling them that the towing help wouldn't come that far into the sand to save them.
Thankfully Matt and the Crew got them out:)
13:36
"We didn't know there's like sand here."
I'm sorry, you what?? You didn't know there'd be sand in the desert?
City slicker
I think this may be their first desert experience. Pics are one thing. Actually being in it is another thing. My first off road in the desert was crazy af!
I guess the off-road rental vehicles were too expensive so they just decided a Malibu would be fine.
Ya ya can't fix stupid
Dammit you beat me to that comment!😏
Matt sees three ladies and about falls flat on his face.. HAHAHAHA. No worries though... We've all done it.
An oasis in the middle of the desert
14:45 HAHAHA def. true we've all done it lmao try to be aware of your surroundings
Thank all of you for clean and no foul language we enjoy watching everyday.
That Banana makes me miss my "97 XJ so much. It was a gas hawg but it'd take you anywhere, in any conditions, AND bring you back! It had a front locker, 3" lift and 31x10.5x15 BFG's. That's it. Was totaled when I was rear ended at a traffic light. Now I'm depressed and going to make some hot chocolate for comfort, lol.
10:09 It'd be great to see a video of Ed prospecting for gold. I would definitely watch that.
We used to core sample for prospectors, build and repair their equipment, the kind you see on Gold Rush and occasionally prospect for people. A lot of old timers like him are still waiting to hit the "mother load" with all kinds of theories why but sadly 99.9% mine away every cent over and over without any real return for various reasons. Gold fever is no joke, it's as bad as heroin for a lot of these guys.
So Chevy builds a 2wd truck without recovery points and names it the Colorado. hehehe
@@sabr5162 twucks 😁
DFSniper take it back. Never got stuck in mine. Gotta know how to drive. I’ve stressed tested that GMC
@@sabr5162 I know of a lot of contractors who use them.
Also 2wd is better for towing. That's what my old company, oilfield services, used to tow trailers out to locations.
@@IronmanV5 I would rather tow with 4WD. 4WD trucks are built tougher...suspension is beefier...all of it is just better. The pros of 4WD out way the cons.
@@mikefoehr235 We had went with 4wd at first, but according to my boss and the drivers they kept having drive line problems (transfer case and especially differentials). Those went away when they went with 2wd.
In fact I was warned to never try to move the trailer with my truck, F250 4x4, as it would damage the drive train by several of our drivers.
Keep up the much needed work Matt and crew. Visitors want to explore and see America and they do not understand the conditions of the back roads. They often do not think to carry enough food, water and supplies with them to venture out on back roads in case they get lost or stuck. There are very sad cases of people dying or disappearing because they got in to trouble with their vehicles on back roads, especially using a GPS.
I wouldn’t have been able to resist saying ‘yea we’ll keep it under 55’ when the guy said ‘drive slow ok?’
I'm never ceased to be amazed at how much softer sand gets as the temperature warms up then you get stuck and even if you wait for it to cool down and firm up it's unlikely to get unstuck. Great video.
"turn to your left.... You're other left"... Yes! I was hoping that would happen one day
There’s something about Matt’s channel that brings out the kid in me.
Hey Matt. Try using a old tire between two tow ropes when yanking out a stuck car. The variable tension works great and prevents any damage.
Thunbs up to lizzy , she seems eager and ready to learn , I love when women are not afraid to get dirty or try what some would call " Man work " , I hope she sticks with it and wish her success in her endeavors, hope to see more of her in your vids Matt 🙂
@@Mr.Torres831 Shhhhhh
I love that you don't feel the need to make customers feel stupid. They know they've made a mistake and you get paid for it. Making them feel comfortable *has* to be good for business!
I definitely appreciate all the camera angles and everyone running outside in that heat to get the best shots. 🤗
Lovin Lizzy!!! She is exactly what these videos have been missing…. Exuberance, charm and beauty!
Tourist renting budget front wheel cars to explore off road trails and sand traps= good business for Matt! Good job guys and special shouts out to Ed and to Lizzy, the courageous young woman who isn't afraid to get under a car to get it hooked up! Cheers from Montreal!
Chevy ? Isn’t 4x4
High pinion, low pinion, I guess that's a matter of a pinion. Good start Lizzie, not afraid to get down and dusty.
No its not 1 pulls the scizzor lift out the other one blows the crownwheel & pinion.
My mate worked it out years ago.
Very punny Opinion on pinions hahaha
Did you just make a funny? 🤣🤣🤣
Just found this channel and have binged about 50 episodes. First time I’ve seen someone in a mask and of course they’re from Cali and driving a Tesla, lol!
I like Ed's positive attitude! He's keeps the team focused.
I love how you've started to pause the process every now and then and let us know exactly why the Banana works the way it does! Thanks Matt! I'll be down in your neck of the woods in a couple weeks, hope I get the chance to run into ya's at Maverick and not out in the middle of the sand! :-D
The exact same spot several times. It’s almost like someone went out there and dumped a truckload of sand right there. Matt do you have any friends they have dump trucks? LOL
absolutely love your show! could you please show an episode where you charge people? Not the costs, but you make look like you're doing it for free. I would just like to see how a transaction goes and I am sure your other viewers would enjoy it as well. Thanks!
Matt shows his intelligence when he replied to Randy's comment about crossing the road that is should be "a policy".
Smart people first recognize and then explicitly articulate policy to influence conduct that supports everyone's safety. Good job keeping the crew safe.
4:40 Hold on folks. We got us a convoy.
5:22 Randy can laugh, as he's already been through training while Tim has just begun.
5:54 Hi Lizzie. Welcome to Utah's best UA-cam channel!
Background music from C W McCall would be appropriate for that convoy scene.
@@ernestrollins383 Good one. lol
@@ernestrollins383 Ya beat me to it.
Thanks for the info on towing in reverse....i had that exact question at the beginning of the episode and Matt never fails to educate!
Just discovered your channel yesterday. Been binge watching ever since . Very nice to know that I'm not alone and I might be one of those fools in a car and in a place I never should have drove calling you for help. Putting your number in my phone now for future reference the next time I'm in BFE and stuck
Definitely need more girls like Lizzie beautiful competent and just what we need more of in this world
When in the first 30 seconds you get a "Day 1" note, you know it's gonna be good :D
1:15
"The other left"
🤣
The Spaniards were chill compared to some of the others
California plates - they think that both directions are the left. That explains a lot😏
You can tell who wears the pants, I'll drive. 👀🙄
@@williepelzer384 He was already in the seat. That was really pathetic of her
Love how wholesome your channel is - never disappoints with both classiness and the skill of your team! Awesome camera work too!
Talk about a flex. Pulls 2 trucks same time through the sand with a Cherokee. Brilliant. 💪 👍
I'm giving Lizzie an A+, backing up, unchainin' down, and all around.
Simp
do they charge these people. they just tow and leave. is it free because it's for a video.
@@babayaga9102 maybe the quick ones but they didn’t get their business from giving out free tows. Also they have a cost breakdown video
@@babayaga9102 They don't show the payment part. I am assuming on some of them, they have their credit card info from when the customer calls for help.
WAIT- a jeep pulling a chevy pulling a toy...my head just exploded!!!
It's a JEEP THING, you're beginning to understand !!!
@@duane4972 right lol
Which brings up more questions..
1. Do both cars split a single recovery fee?
2. Does the 2nd car on the rope charge the third car a recovery fee?
3. Does the 3rd car charge the 2 cars ahead a rope pushing fee?
4. Are masks required in the middle of the desert?
5. Do those kids wear masks when they sleep?
6. Is Ed's replacement part time? ( Look out Ed! She's purtier than you!)
7. Can Matt retire on just the income off that sandy road?
@@Jrhnhemp why do you seem to be offended by a piece of clothing someone else wore? fragile ego or brainwashed?
@@HasanProd
It was just a question....& People get offended for far less... I'd like to know can you ???....🤔😜🤣😂
Just started watching your channel. Loving it, thanks for all you do.
Great explanation on why you pull on reverse. I thought you did it that way because the reverse gear has more torque
Ed's Gold Rush: "It's hot, sunny, good gold today. We'll get it out." Good luck Ed!
I want to see Ed’s Gold Rush. That would be a fun and relaxing camp.
Let’s get Ed a apprentice with a drone and a go pro👍
Ed's out looking for gold.
Matt's found the mother load! Thank you sand trap!
Well if we cant have Ed, i think Lizzy is a FINE substitute!!
Simp
Lizzie’s first appearance! Little she knew here she was gonna be a beast welder on the wrecker!
Lizzie is pretty awesome. Jumping in these situations with no fear. Well not so much these but the video with the jeep with no top and the vandalized car. Kinda wish there were more people like her. So nice.
you sound like you live in the city. Just outside of it, or in the country, most girls are like this.
On slow days Matt has the guys passing out flyers to all trafic at Sand Hollow, Babylon Mills, Toquerville Falls, Gooseberry and Sheep Bridge Road:)
Tesla Lady “I Didn’t know there’s sand here” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let's drive to Southern Utah, and look at the cliffs. Aren't they beautiful. I wonder where all the rock went? I didn't know there was sand here.
well teslas are gay so why not just leave her there
Teslas don't let you look out the window when they're in auto-pilot.
They dont want you to see the magic happen
Epic facepalm :p
Well she probably meant they didn't know the "road" would turn to sand and they would get stuck
I loved the Tesla’s owners answer. We didn’t know there was sand here. Uhhh you’re in the desert, that isn’t asphalt your driving on there Hass, from the instant you left the highway it was solid sand. And you’re in the middle of nowhere in a car that’s 3” off the ground with skinny street tires. But it’s okay it has AWD. 🤦♂️
17:26
Someone’s taking the work car off-roading 😂😂permanent fleet vehicle tags
Gotta love how the TESLA driver, having no business being there in the first place, put his flashers on! Brilliant!
To be fair, none of those 2wd trucks have any business there.
The Tesla people were also wearing masks when they were in the middle of nowhere with only their own group until Matt showed up. We're wearing masks because we're a special group of sensitive hipsters. This is why I hate people.
@@bigredchevytruck Yeah those people are really stupid for trying to slow the spread of disease during a pandemic.
@libertad para todos The word is breathe, not breath. Just a heads up. You don't want people thinking you're ignorant AND stupid.
@@nullobject5943 If those idiots were worried about the fucking pandemic bullshit then they should have stayed their happy asses home instead of driving down this road where they don't belong and getting stuck in the sand because they're fucking stupid! Don't you think?
I'm a big fan of your channel, I love watching the recoveries! The only question I have in my mind that popped up while watching this one was " I wonder how he charges customers in these situations"? Keep posting again I love this channel.
'i'm a jeep too, i can make it " " oops almost" haha
Good info about the low pinion differential. The TJs have low pinion differential in the front. Good to know my jeep has a bit extra strength in reverse if needed.
If y'all sold Winder off-road flags I would buy one!
Me too
I think pretty much 1/2 the people that watch the channel would buy one even if was put to on their Prius.
Same here!
and I would take care for distribution in Europe, 1,000 maybe much more
Matt checking out those girls and tripping is hilarious! Classic...
Thanks Matt for the explanation on reverse pulling!
Lizzy is a fast learner and has a great attitude.
Loved the captions! I know that must be a pain to add, but it really was appreciated. 👍
"So we got a call..."
My all time favorite thing to hear on UA-cam!! 👍🏻
This reminds me of my friend who said "oh yeah my Prius could offroad this desert road"....
Most people don't know about the traction control button, turn it off and you have control again to give your vehicle full throttle. Tow truck drivers love that feature on vehicles.
“We didn’t know there was sand here”. What?? 😳😜😂😂
Spoken like somebody who's never left the Bay Area in their lives. 😂
Maybe coming from an area where asphalt is everywhere... 😜
It sneaks up on you, for sure.
It’s been my experience that Asian people can be really clueless about things. that’s just been my observation. I Used to live in a city with a large Asian population
OntarioRedneXXX yea you racist
1st couple will now be expanding your viewership here in Europe.
the next comment "greetings from Montenegro, Europe :D"
I love how ppl got tons of "your doing it wrong comments"...it's funny how I see you get every vehicle with almost no damage to your truck ...looks like your doing great work from my living room 🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍
It sure seems that we all have irresistible urges to get out into the boondocks and get stuck! 🤗 At least it keeps you busy.
14:45 "There's a WHOLE there" You know you can't fault Matt, three pretty girls would distract any guy....LOL 😜👍
It don't matter where you get you're appetite as long as you eat at home.😈
@@FYMASMD
I told that to my wife once... Only ONCE... LOL 😅
More like one. And it's hole, not whole.
@@mediocreman2
I stand corrected...👍
You cant fool us! we know you've been going out there pouring sand in the road! Nice moneymaker there! haha just kidding :P
Was thinking the same thing..... now we know what Ed is really doing! ;)
Man...it's so pretty out there. No wonder so many people get lost in the scenery.
Hot sugar sand, you gotta love it. Only thing that found swim out of some of those sand traps was my good ol jimny. You had the new 2017 jimny. That thing was a sand demon. That and an Isuzu DMax it's pretty much a Chevy bison only more nimble. If I wasn't riding in a humvee or an 8x8 those were my rides.
Do you have business cards stapled to the post at that trap? If not maybe start putting them at locations people get stuck often. Love the vids!
Dan Arnold leave some at the gate when people pay to enter the park!
@@gsettlemyre In past videos, i think Sand Hollow does, one of the girls said 'just call etc.
Babylon Mills is North of Hurricane. Sand Hollow is south of Hurricane. It is just on a “forest” road or public road.
Great idea! .....leaving them right at the traps 😎😎😎
Install one of those emergency call boxes right there. Direct line to Winder Towing. Lol.
I love how humble Matt is! Love from India
This is like the greatest Job, everyday there is someone on the Babylon rd stuck... good for your guys
Florida 4wheeler here. Sugar sand is no joke. A strawberry field will get you stuck when you least expect it
I love the hazard lights are on the Tesla. Safety first. 😜😂😂
Ever watched the Duke’s of Hazard and always thought” yea right, tiers can’t squeal on sand..”
Thanks to this channel everyone now knows the answer!😂🚗🚓
Keep up the great work!!!
Yep all it takes is for there to be something relatively solidish under the sand
The roads were gravel not sand
Enjoy the videos. Always amazed at where people take 2wd trucks and front wheel drive cars.
or a Tesla, just because it's AWD.
If the sand is somewhat firm, sometimes if you let about half the air out of the tires they will "'pancake" out to get more surface area to allow you to drive out. But you better air the tires back up very soon or you risk tire damage and danger later. Saying this though, I have to add that you do need mechanical sense for what works and what doesn't and the risks involved before you start messing around. I've gotten myself off a California beach (one time) and out of Montana snow & mud (numerous times as a teenager) this way in the 1960's driving a '55 Oldsmobile. Later in life doing ranch work and managing an isolated backcountry lodge I used this method many times with 4WD vehicles to avoid getting into trouble or to get out of trouble on slippery hillsides, etc. Call a pro when in doubt, and I don't see how a person could do any better than getting Matt & crew. Top notch people.
I suppose I better add that much would depend on the particular tire design and profile. If reducing air pressure does very little to increase the tire's contact area with the ground, then all you are doing is asking for trouble.
I clicked in the hopes of seeing Ed and I was not disappointed
Who is the beautiful Lizzy?😍
Matt your recoveries will double if she keeps helping you out!
Almost time for some tires, looking a bit slick there 😁
low treads are good for sand. wheel spin with deep treads will just dig deeper.
I've taken my fully loaded (8 passengers and all their luggage) Suburban while towing a 4000 lb trailer on the 4wd beach in Outerbanks, NC and never even switched into 4wd. The beach is sugar sand over a foot deep and no issues. Gotta air down to 20 psi in sand
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery Actually, the dunes are all blow sand and I drive over them just fine too. People need to learn how to drive or stay the hell out.
