Huge kudos to Jefe on this one!! His brakes failed while driving an unfamiliar rig and he was able to get it stopped without injuries or catastrophic damage to either vehicle. It's wild that brakes failed on both vehicles! What are the odds?
@@davidmore190 From experience that doesn't work. You would be much better off putting it in reverse, but with that side beside behind the wrecker it wasn't really an option without potential damage.
@@davidmore190 catastrophic implies it cant be salvaged (ie: crushed, torn to pieces, exploding, etc). Catastrophic transmission damage sure, not vehicle damage.
This is THE number one reason I LOVE to watch this channel: Despite all the trials folks go through NO ONE loses his "cool" and completes the task WITHOUT using foul language, or shows anger. KUDOS to ALL Matt's family members and crew!
It's simply a choice...one CHOOSES to make. Even though I grew up in a household that used very 'colorful' language (German descent, and Dad was a career Navy man...as was I, eventually), I CHOSE to stop using foul language after my kids were born. It was easy, as I didn't want to be the one my kids picked it up from. Now that they're adults, I rarely hear any from them either.

@@vegask2 he was in a car crash almost a decade ago and his leg was severed above the knee, which they reattached, but it’s resulted in lots of surgeries and complications. The surgery in this video was to shorten one of his legs so both of them are the same length. Also, I believe his name is spelled Kaulin, but perhaps I’m wrong.
Hey Matt. 25 years in trucks and heavy equipment and 9 years oilfield any time everybody walks away without getting hurt after equipment failure is a glorious day. I've seen it go the other way more times than I care to remember.
Matt is truly a renaissance man and start of the show, but having visited the yard and gotten a little peek behind the scenes; Jamie (sp?) is clearly the glue that holds the operation together.
Best of luck and sending prayers for Colin. Our oldest broke his lower leg in high school football. Numerous surgeries, two plates (one broke and one bent) , then finally an external fixater (a 3 ring halo) to straighten the leg. He just turned 36 and it still swells and bothers him. But it doesn't slow him down. He hunts, camps and works as a maintenance mechanic where he has to climb 40 feet up feed mill equipment. So Best of luck to your son. He'll be fine.
Man oh man...Matt is really just a good old genuine guy!!!! Takes everything in his Stride. God bless your son. Hope he comes right soon. Greetings from South Africa.
@@CM-xr9oq Yes! Matt is pretty chill. BUT, I've seen his face or heard his voice as things go south in these videos and you can tell his temper is rising. They usually cut scene haha
After waiting in a hospital for your son's surgery, then off to repair the Wrecker and recover a side by side; Matt could not hide his emotions but he managed to complete the task in front of him, even out of uniform. Looks like lessons are needed for how to operate the wrecker. ❤❤
@@leewelbanks6366 Exhaust leak? Do you mean the wires/pipes getting hot on the right side? That is not caused by a leaking exhaust. That's caused by insufficient heat shielding.
I love that y’all took us all along on your son’s hospital visit. It really shows that you have one of the best family-oriented UA-cam channels! Thanks MORR!
I have no doubt that Rudy, Colin, and Rhett will have the fondest memories of working with Dad. Look back in 40 years and tell me I'm wrong. Best wishes to this incredible family.
I hope all is well with Collin. I wanted to share my dads story. In 1977 my dad was in accident that severed his arm off just above the elbow. When the first responders came he asked them to bring his arm. At the first hospital they told my dad there was nothing they could do. Two weeks prior my dad read a story about a Dr. Reeder ( I think that is how you spell it) who had developed a technique for limb replantation. At the time he was at Orthopedic Hospital in Los Angeles. My dad asked if they would call and see they would take him, Before he knew it, my mom, my dad and his arm packaged in ice between his legs were in a helicopter off to Los Angeles. Historically, my dad is the 2nd limb replantation patient. At the time, he achieved 35% use of his arm. When I see stories like your sons, it always moves me. My dad is such a resilient man who takes life in stride. They learned a lot of from dads experience. Somewhere in your sons success is a little of my dad. We don't always understand why bad things happen in our lives. One thing is for sure, God can turn anything bad and use it for good! Praying for a quick recovery for Collin!

Hey Matt, I just wanted to let you know as a person who grew up in children’s hospitals having dozens of surgeries also… I just wanted you to know that the fear and anxiety does go away. Also, I have a love and appreciation for my mom who went through it all with me, and I know your son will feel the same. I still hate needles too tho… lol I hope Colin gets better without complication and he should know that’s there’s a few of us out here who understand what he’s going through and it does get better and we’re fortunate to have modern medicine. Stay safe out there! - Dante Antonio
Just start thinking about how getting upset never helps. If you can get that branded into your brain by thinking about that when you see others do it. Then over time it will become normal to think that way then you have the tools to correct yourself and work towards being a better you. Just take little steps to reach those goals and you will get there.
Being in constant high stress and lots of high priority things going on I find some people start to get "numb" where you just roll with the punches but also being super focused... happens to myself at times where things would normally annoy me quit bothering for a period of time. But then if not eating/sleeping right it'll start catching up. I'm sure Matt was super happy his son's surgery went well and the wrecker job went as good as it could have gone with the brake issue.
Matt you are an example to me . With everything you were going thru with Colin and then the wrecker and you just calmly plugged away till you got it going . God bless you and your family
Collin is an amazing man, even if we don't see much of him on videos; he has persevered through all these years. A strong family has helped get him through this ordeal.
@@stroodleboots5360 when you own equipment that other people use and it fails, could've got people hurt and it was preventable (crap part design no ones fault really other than the part maker) you do feel bad. If you don't feel bad your not a good boss (Matt definitely is and you can see he cares a lot about his employees and everyone in general)
I greatly admire the entire crew with MORR. They all stay level-headed and realize that stuff breaks. I'm very new to wheeling but have a decent amount of experience with custom vehicles and know how frustrating these things can become. Great job to you all! Matt, you are an amazing role model for your crew, but more importantly, your family. Keep it up, my friend.
I know it's his business and he's ultimately responsible for taking care of it, but Matt sure is a selfless person. I spent almost a year with my daughter in the hospital, and I can tell you just how mentally and emotionally draining it can be.
Man, I remember being in weird, crazy, difficult situations like this with my dad, uncles, and brothers (and daughter). Honestly it does my heart good to see you guys work the problem together, stay calm, get along, and get it done. Hope your son is healing quickly and glad the surgery went well. That's a lot for a young man to go through. But his positive attitude in spite of all he's been through is a credit to your family.
You should look into the story about the time a buyer for Subaru bought brake peddle switches that turned out to be counterfeit and they installed them on many cars. An investigation found they had been compromised by the fumes of a workers purfume that melted a seal made of the wrong material. I knew "au de grandma" was strong but that's rediculus.
Jefe would have been great on the recovery if Matt had given him the needed training on the wrecker. He would have known about the low low and engine breaking. But Jefe saved the wrecker from a bigger accident for sure.
Oh and best of luck and a quick recovery for your son! He was so cool about it and even in such a situation he held his brothers high, what a wonderful and lovely gesture!
He does give the impression being Yoda like. Even after a tough few personal days, keeping his head and not blaming the team, then educating them on how to improve and also the point of mechanical failure. Really does seem like an incredible boss/ human all round to me 🤘
Matt, prayers for Kaullin and a speedy recovery. Being able to work through adversity teaches us to handle life's problems with grace and are able to teach younger people to be calm through it all. Your boys and employees have seen that from you so many times. Another great video!
4:08 Foreshadowing? Or does this hill have a curse on it? 8:34 No brakes. So glad everyone is safe. That story about Collin is insane. So glad he was able to keep his leg. Much love to Matt and his family.
Even though Matt was tired and emotionally drained he still was cool and kind through the whole ordeal. That's why he's the Captain or King, or Top Dog. Definitely a role model for all of us.
Good luck Kaulin! My prayers are with you. I spent many months at PCMC with a son. Among a lot of other operations he also had leg lengthening and shortening surgeries. You're in good hands. Try and relax, keep your spirits up, and you'll win the long-term fight!!!
This is the first I've heard of the injury to Colin. This is a little behind but prayers being sent for his eventual recovery. Thanks again for all you guys do to entertain us, and occasionally inform us.
Matt, much respect for your ability to stay calm and navigate through the challenges on all levels you had on that day. God Bless you and your family. Keep up the great channel !
Good luck Kaulin, I hope things go well. It is always humbling to learn of someone elses misfortune, and admirable when they carry themselves like you guys do, I love the positive vibes on this channel. Good video as always!
had no idea.. as a dad whos spent more than my fair share at a children's hospital, much love and respect to you and your family!. Your boy is lucky to have such a great dad...
God bless the Matt's Off-road Recovery family. They may break, but they come back tougher than ever. I pray for their quick recovery and can't wait to see what they are gonna do next.
At least you saved it and didnt go off the hill🤘 transmissions can be repaired. Sounds like we need a video of Matt's off road training on all the features of wrecker with the whole team. Then everyone knows everything on it. Stay safe yall.
@@TheBibliofilus most atvs dirt bikes and motorcycles that have tail brake lights are the same way. Under normal use they rarely fail but heavy and hot use the diaphragms yeet
You guys live the most interesting lives. You have more happened to you in a few days than happens for most of us in a year. Very happy that Collin is doing well.
LMAO! If people actually watched the videos they would know that everything turned out just fine. The social media feeding frenzy makes me have to laugh though. The "first!" commentor statement is hysterical. That is something I only remember 1st graders doing until social media came up.
"If it doesn't work out, I have three other sons at home just about as good!" Hahaha. Something I would've told my kids in a similar situation. Its a sign of a family that is secure in each other's love that can tease like that.
Whoa, what a challenging moment, but luckily an accident was avoided, and the WLOR Wrecker was repaired, a lesson was learned, and the recovery was a success. The icing on the cake Kaulin's surgery went well. Matt's attitude was we'll git 'er done and back on the road even though the thought of lost brakes can be scary was in the back of his mind too. What a day!
To think, we all thought the wrecker was your greatest feat. Restoring your sons limb blows away all the amazing projects. I cannot imagine the gut wrenching nights you must have spent worrying about him. The power of God and prayer. "he giveth me strength" Glad he is doing ok, and what a great example as a father by poking some fun with him too. Your strength definitely helped his recovery.
Props to you Colin, you've gotta be going through a rough time with all those surguries. Glad to see you doing well and making the best of it! Hope you have a speedy and healthy recovery.
Collin, I know what you are going through. I've been doing it since I was 15. It takes will power, and a strong support group. You seem to have both. Keep smiling!
Matt, you must have been emotionally drained after that day. "All's well that ends well" as they say. So glad your son's surgery went well. That's what is important. I keep being impressed with the capability of the wrecker! Why hasn't anybody named it yet? "The worlds largest off-road wrecker" is desciptive, but not a name... We need a naming contest!
I have been a subscriber for many years, since nearly the beginning and watched this family grow and see the boys become young men. I'm sure glad Collin's surgery went well.
Collin, you are a strong and inspirational young man, rest up and recover well! Great job to everyone on a tough wrecker job, glad you are all safe coming off the mountain.
I was a student in the previous cohort at the welding school kaulin is attending. Wish him the best with recovery from surgery and getting back into school!
May God be with your son and bless him during a successful surgery and may the outcome be all that is expected. Bless each and everyone of you with God’s grace.
Glad to hear Colin is doing as well as possible, you all have a great channel and I’m sure off camera you all have a good relationship and team work as well. Keep it up
Matt and his crew are wonderful people. I wish his son a good and quick recovery. That guys from the side by side are really lucky, not a lot of damage.
Wow, first I've heard of Kaulin having a leg severed! Like completely severed? Would have never known it if we hadn't been told. He must have made a very good recovery for the circumstances. Thanks for sharing! I'm sure I speak for the masses of subscribers when I say, we feel like you're family to us and glad when you share things like this with us.
@@guyod1 It was said even here, someone ran over his leg many years ago and it's not been the same length between them and this is I think the third operation to repair it. Matt explains it. Need to go back to when Matt, Kaulin, and Jamie are in the hospital.
Best wishes Colin. May you be back on your feet, (Unassisted), soon. Be strong brother. Matt, I know how stressful this has been for you and Jamie, having your son seriously hurt like this, I am so glad that things are looking up for you and the family. Say hello to Ed, It is so good to see him doing better as well. God Bless You All.
I think we can all agree that there needs to be some team safety training on the rigs for situations like this one. Also hope the recovery goes well for your son!
@@Patrick.Weightman If he knew about the parking breaks and putting it in 1st to engine break his way down, he wouldn't have had to call Matt. Don't get me wrong, he made the right call to call Matt, but if he knew that the rig was capable enough to go down with no breaks, he could have saved a ton of time
Wishing Colin a speedy recovery. And happy to see him in good spirits through this. Looks like the whole crew needs a training session or two on the heavy wrecker. And those guys were lucky with that crash and barely a scratch. Vehicles can be fixed.
Love Matt's attitude towards the surgery! That's how my mom and I dealt with my transplant and it made everything easier to handle even if she was a nervous wreck she'd make me laugh!
"Find out what part it is and just never buy that part again". I like that... By the end of life, everything should be working. That was a great job saving the rig, good thinking.
Wow he was 8 0r 9 when that happened? What a trooper. I always thought he moved a little differently than he looks capable of. Love the channel. Literally watch it everyday.
They did a great job of getting the side by side out of that mess. Matt has such a laid back attitude with these problems. Glad no one got hurt when the wrecker lost it's brakes.
Mat you are a good person and you have done much good in the world. We could see where you were emotionally drained and our hearts go out to you. Know that if you need help just ask. Bless you.
I didn't expect the emotional rollercoaster in this episode. May God bless Kaulin with a quick recovery. What is up with that hill and brakes going out ?
Rhett and Jefe did a good job right up to the point of the brake failure! LOL!! Not their fault. I might suggest an all inclusive training session on the operation of the wrecker for ALL the employees AND family 😁 Thanks to Matt's mechanical knowledge the day (and the job) was saved!! Great video!!
Matt, you need to thank Hefe for avoiding disaster. For him not having the entire knowledge on how to operate the wrecker, he did an awesome job of saving it. Rhett
I'm glad we get to see and hear about some of the TOUGH times because it makes MATT and the MORR TEAM even more endearing! Stay strong, you guys are great! JEFE needs to be presented an official shirt for being RECOVERED on the RECOVERY!
God Bless you Colin....I had no Idea what you've been through. My best wishes to you, please be strong, you'll be ok. You have folks like me praying for you. My prayers are strong.....my grandfather was a Native American Shaman, Seneca Nation of Indians...He taught me much about spiritual healing. Don't think it's true? There was a time some ten years ago, I awoke from a sound sleep, knowing my best friend Tocho was in trouble. I dressed and set out on a hike trail we often took for pleasure..don't ask me how i knew where he would be....I found him off the hiking trail 40 feet down a rocky embankment with a broken leg. Shortly there after, his brother appeared, I was amazed...I was shocked...Benny, how did you find us.....He simply said..."A Vision I Had".....I stayed with Tocho and comforted him while his brother went for help. We got him Air Lifted to the local hospital.... I kept Tocho company that night..I held his hand and rested my head on his belly all that night. I was sick with grief but at the same time comforted that he was now safe. In the morning, he got out of bed like nothing ever happened. He could put weight on his leg and walked almost like nothing had happened. The doctors were frantic that he was walking about....Took him in for more X rays.....They found the fracture in his femer was healed......I was the only one to be with him that last night...My feelings for Tocho were so intense I must have healed him.....This is not a fairy tale and we are all truly astounded, including the doctors to this day as to the results of the x-rays found the next morning....This incident happened about 10 years ago....Tocho and I have been life partners since this event. There are those that say this is Twilight Zone stuff....Trust me my friend, the power of love for another soul has no bounds...Tocho is my Soul Mate, a realization for both of us that night .... My love for him cannot be expressed in words. Be well my friend, your family and friends love you very much...I wish all you folks God's Blessings
Love watching your vids. It’s easy to see why your crew is so loyal and invested. Matt your a stand up guy, hope you get a bit of rest and your boy is feeling better and back on his game after his surgery. You to Jaymie , take care and Collin feel better.
Thank you for the way you raise your kids and the way you are with your employees,I know you are not perfect but you are a great blessing to the world. Thanks for your time and I'm going to meet you at some point.
Thank you for sharing your sons story. I had my left arm severed at the shoulder when I was run over off duty. They where able to save it but lost the shoulder and use from elbow up but have pretty good use of my hand just that I’m left handed. Glad you’re son surgery went great.
Praying 🙏 for Colin's Recovery and the Family as a whole. Love watching this channel and inspires me for my channel every day! You can tell you are all good people and your a true blessing to others. God is working through you all every day!
Wait, you're going to rescue a vehicle that was killed because it ran out of brakes... and then your vehicle runs out of brakes, isn't that a little creepy..😱😱😱
Glad know one got hurt. I've been in the same situation with a backhoe and going over a hill and had to hit a new garbage truck to get stopped. Great job guy's and keep up the great work. Stay safe and thanks for the video.
Matt, you're a rock! You have a great many responsibilities that can take a toll on any one person! It's not always peaches and cream, but you try to make it out to be! You and Jenni need a spa day! You both need pampered every now and then! When Collin's finished healing from surgery and physical therapy, take the family on a vacation! Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next...
Huge kudos to Jefe on this one!!
His brakes failed while driving an unfamiliar rig and he was able to get it stopped without injuries or catastrophic damage to either vehicle.

You should look into the story about the time a buyer for Subaru bought brake peddle switches that turned out to be counterfeit and they installed them on many cars. An investigation found they had been compromised by the fumes of a workers purfume that melted a seal made of the wrong material. I knew "au de grandma" was strong but that's rediculus.
Jefe would have been great on the recovery if Matt had given him the needed training on the wrecker. He would have known about the low low and engine breaking.
But Jefe saved the wrecker from a bigger accident for sure.

Reminds me of my father so much. Very blessed to be raised by men like this, born in such a different time as today.
Best wishes and a speedy recovery to Kaulin, being surrounded by such a supportive family makes everything easier.
Oh and best of luck and a quick recovery for your son! He was so cool about it and even in such a situation he held his brothers high, what a wonderful and lovely gesture!
Damn, Matt went through an emotional rollercoaster this video. It's incredible how he stayed calm and collected throughout the entire day.
You could see how subdued he was though.
I'm glad everyone worked out ok.
guess he is tired from the hospital visit.
You mean for the short parts that we saw.
He does give the impression being Yoda like. Even after a tough few personal days, keeping his head and not blaming the team, then educating them on how to improve and also the point of mechanical failure. Really does seem like an incredible boss/ human all round to me 🤘
He was too tired to be emotional!
Matt, prayers for Kaullin and a speedy recovery. Being able to work through adversity teaches us to handle life's problems with grace and are able to teach younger people to be calm through it all. Your boys and employees have seen that from you so many times. Another great video!
4:08 Foreshadowing? Or does this hill have a curse on it?
8:34 No brakes.
So glad everyone is safe. That story about Collin is insane. So glad he was able to keep his leg. Much love to Matt and his family.
Yeah thats a spooky coincidence.
Even though Matt was tired and emotionally drained he still was cool and kind through the whole ordeal. That's why he's the Captain or King, or Top Dog. Definitely a role model for all of us.
It's easy to not get mad when you're rich & it doesn't matter.
Good luck Kaulin! My prayers are with you. I spent many months at PCMC with a son. Among a lot of other operations he also had leg lengthening and shortening surgeries.
You're in good hands. Try and relax, keep your spirits up, and you'll win the long-term fight!!!
This is the first I've heard of the injury to Colin. This is a little behind but prayers being sent for his eventual recovery. Thanks again for all you guys do to entertain us, and occasionally inform us.
Matt, much respect for your ability to stay calm and navigate through the challenges on all levels you had on that day. God Bless you and your family. Keep up the great channel !
Matt, your general concern for your co-workers is inspiring. You truly see and value everyone that works along side you.
Good luck Kaulin, I hope things go well. It is always humbling to learn of someone elses misfortune, and admirable when they carry themselves like you guys do, I love the positive vibes on this channel. Good video as always!
had no idea.. as a dad whos spent more than my fair share at a children's hospital, much love and respect to you and your family!.
Your boy is lucky to have such a great dad...
God bless the Matt's Off-road Recovery family. They may break, but they come back tougher than ever. I pray for their quick recovery and can't wait to see what they are gonna do next.
Prayers sent for Colin 🙏 Matt you rock being strong for your son and family 🙏 your the best at what you do😘 God bless you all always 🥰🙏🥰🙏
At least you saved it and didnt go off the hill🤘 transmissions can be repaired.
Sounds like we need a video of Matt's off road training on all the features of wrecker with the whole team. Then everyone knows everything on it. Stay safe yall.
That's my thought as well. Jefe's quick thinking kept a potential tragedy from happening.
Wow, how can a break switch like that even be allowed when there's just the normal electrical on the pedal?
Man, I was gonna mention that....
@@TheBibliofilus most atvs dirt bikes and motorcycles that have tail brake lights are the same way. Under normal use they rarely fail but heavy and hot use the diaphragms yeet
Or maybe a label or two on the buttons, meters and levers.
You guys live the most interesting lives. You have more happened to you in a few days than happens for most of us in a year. Very happy that Collin is doing well.
Hope the surgery went well and I wish him a quick recovery.
LMAO! If people actually watched the videos they would know that everything turned out just fine. The social media feeding frenzy makes me have to laugh though. The "first!" commentor statement is hysterical. That is something I only remember 1st graders doing until social media came up.
@@justme-dm7sbironic that you don't find "trolling" just as annoying...
@@mattmanyam
The "first" on a commement is the definition of trolling, and yes its quite amusing.
@@justme-dm7sb almost as amusing as a troll 'liking' its own comments.
@@mattmanyam
LMAO.....
"If it doesn't work out, I have three other sons at home just about as good!" Hahaha. Something I would've told my kids in a similar situation. Its a sign of a family that is secure in each other's love that can tease like that.
Whoa, what a challenging moment, but luckily an accident was avoided, and the WLOR Wrecker was repaired, a lesson was learned, and the recovery was a success. The icing on the cake Kaulin's surgery went well. Matt's attitude was we'll git 'er done and back on the road even though the thought of lost brakes can be scary was in the back of his mind too. What a day!
To think, we all thought the wrecker was your greatest feat. Restoring your sons limb blows away all the amazing projects. I cannot imagine the gut wrenching nights you must have spent worrying about him. The power of God and prayer. "he giveth me strength" Glad he is doing ok, and what a great example as a father by poking some fun with him too. Your strength definitely helped his recovery.
The most over kill jump start ever lol. Man seeing it pull up next to a regular size suv really puts the size in perspective
Probably it was the underhood temps that caused the switch to fail. Maybe getting the headers coated would help.
thats crazy bout his leg, but they got it back on, and i bet hes a trooper. hopin for a fast recovery.
Matt, so sorry for your sons pain. From one father to another, I feel for you and your son and I hope he has a speedy recovery.
Props to you Colin, you've gotta be going through a rough time with all those surguries. Glad to see you doing well and making the best of it! Hope you have a speedy and healthy recovery.
Collin, I know what you are going through. I've been doing it since I was 15. It takes will power, and a strong support group. You seem to have both. Keep smiling!
Matt, you must have been emotionally drained after that day. "All's well that ends well" as they say. So glad your son's surgery went well. That's what is important. I keep being impressed with the capability of the wrecker! Why hasn't anybody named it yet? "The worlds largest off-road wrecker" is desciptive, but not a name... We need a naming contest!
The biggest banana
I have been a subscriber for many years, since nearly the beginning and watched this family grow and see the boys become young men. I'm sure glad Collin's surgery went well.
How about OLD YELLER
Go for "Buster"
The Papaya
Collin, you are a strong and inspirational young man, rest up and recover well! Great job to everyone on a tough wrecker job, glad you are all safe coming off the mountain.
I was a student in the previous cohort at the welding school kaulin is attending. Wish him the best with recovery from surgery and getting back into school!
May God be with your son and bless him during a successful surgery and may the outcome be all that is expected. Bless each and everyone of you with God’s grace.
Glad to hear Colin is doing as well as possible, you all have a great channel and I’m sure off camera you all have a good relationship and team work as well. Keep it up
Matt and his crew are wonderful people. I wish his son a good and quick recovery.
That guys from the side by side are really lucky, not a lot of damage.
I love the "where not going to use the rear steer" then uses it multiple times
Wow, first I've heard of Kaulin having a leg severed! Like completely severed? Would have never known it if we hadn't been told. He must have made a very good recovery for the circumstances. Thanks for sharing! I'm sure I speak for the masses of subscribers when I say, we feel like you're family to us and glad when you share things like this with us.
Wow. I think this is the first mention of Kaulin's leg being severed. I hope the surgery goes well, with a complete healing.🙏
They’ve mentioned it before on the channel but it was years ago now.
It was mentioned on Rudy's channel.
@@mahbriggs Yep, when he and Rudy got Kaulin's truck, Rudy mentioned it and Kaulin explained the story if I recall, about a year ago.
@@johnhpalmer6098 so what happened?
@@guyod1 It was said even here, someone ran over his leg many years ago and it's not been the same length between them and this is I think the third operation to repair it. Matt explains it. Need to go back to when Matt, Kaulin, and Jamie are in the hospital.
Matt, you are incredible brother! You show such strength with your family and your team. My hat is definitely off to you! 🤠 😊
Wishing Kaulin a speedy recovery for his leg. Thanks for another interesting recovery video.
Best wishes Colin. May you be back on your feet, (Unassisted), soon. Be strong brother. Matt, I know how stressful this has been for you and Jamie, having your son seriously hurt like this, I am so glad that things are looking up for you and the family. Say hello to Ed, It is so good to see him doing better as well. God Bless You All.
I think we can all agree that there needs to be some team safety training on the rigs for situations like this one. Also hope the recovery goes well for your son!
You say that like he did literally anything wrong..? Jefe could not have made a better choice.
You need to shut your dumb @ss mouth!
This is how safety protocols and training is created
@@Patrick.Weightman If he knew about the parking breaks and putting it in 1st to engine break his way down, he wouldn't have had to call Matt. Don't get me wrong, he made the right call to call Matt, but if he knew that the rig was capable enough to go down with no breaks, he could have saved a ton of time
@@Patrick.Weightman he didn't do anything wrong, but he could have done better. That's what training is for.
Wishing Colin a speedy recovery. And happy to see him in good spirits through this. Looks like the whole crew needs a training session or two on the heavy wrecker. And those guys were lucky with that crash and barely a scratch. Vehicles can be fixed.
Love Matt's attitude towards the surgery! That's how my mom and I dealt with my transplant and it made everything easier to handle even if she was a nervous wreck she'd make me laugh!
Wow I cannot believe your son nearly lost his leg what a miracle to be able to keep it❤ you must have been beside yourselves oh my God!
Heal up quick Colin, praying for ya bud!! Great job taking care of everything Matt and crew!
"Find out what part it is and just never buy that part again". I like that... By the end of life, everything should be working. That was a great job saving the rig, good thinking.
You guys are beyond motivational. Much love and praying for a fast recovery!
Thats a lot for a person his age. Kudo's to him for staying strong and positive. You have great kids!
11:01: Rhett over here like "It's a good thing this doesn't suck more!"
LMAO! Great attitude dude, ya love to see it!
now *_THAT'S_* a bumper

• Rhett's smilin' face

• It's a good thing this
doesn't _Suck_ *more* !
Wow he was 8 0r 9 when that happened? What a trooper. I always thought he moved a little differently than he looks capable of. Love the channel. Literally watch it everyday.
Matt, for the love of god… get a tool kit. You can go to harbor freight and get a combo set with every thing for like $200.
They did a great job of getting the side by side out of that mess. Matt has such a laid back attitude with these problems. Glad no one got hurt when the wrecker lost it's brakes.
Love from India.wish a healthy recovery to kaulin
Mat you are a good person and you have done much good in the world. We could see where you were emotionally drained and our hearts go out to you. Know that if you need help just ask. Bless you.
I didn't expect the emotional rollercoaster in this episode. May God bless Kaulin with a quick recovery.
What is up with that hill and brakes going out ?
Thankful no one was seriously hurt in either brake failure Glad to hear the surgery went well
Tough to have your kid in that situation and feel helpless to do much. God Bless!
Rhett and Jefe did a good job right up to the point of the brake failure! LOL!! Not their fault. I might suggest an all inclusive training session on the operation of the wrecker for ALL the employees AND family 😁 Thanks to Matt's mechanical knowledge the day (and the job) was saved!! Great video!!
Matt, you need to thank Hefe for avoiding disaster. For him not having the entire knowledge on how to operate the wrecker, he did an awesome job of saving it. Rhett
Excellent. Everyone kept cool and dealt with what's at hand at the time with great attitude. Easier said than done; but you showed it.
God bless.
I'm glad we get to see and hear about some of the TOUGH times because it makes MATT and the MORR TEAM even more endearing! Stay strong, you guys are great! JEFE needs to be presented an official shirt for being RECOVERED on the RECOVERY!
Thank God your son is and doing incredible after his surgery ! As far as the brakes going out the boys did the right thing for safety
Sending and 🙏 to Colin and family. I hope all goes all.
God Bless you Colin....I had no Idea what you've been through. My best wishes to you, please be strong, you'll be ok. You have folks like me praying for you. My prayers are strong.....my grandfather was a Native American Shaman, Seneca Nation of Indians...He taught me much about spiritual healing. Don't think it's true? There was a time some ten years ago, I awoke from a sound sleep, knowing my best friend Tocho was in trouble. I dressed and set out on a hike trail we often took for pleasure..don't ask me how i knew where he would be....I found him off the hiking trail 40 feet down a rocky embankment with a broken leg. Shortly there after, his brother appeared, I was amazed...I was shocked...Benny, how did you find us.....He simply said..."A Vision I Had".....I stayed with Tocho and comforted him while his brother went for help. We got him Air Lifted to the local hospital....
I kept Tocho company that night..I held his hand and rested my head on his belly all that night. I was sick with grief but at the same time comforted that he was now safe. In the morning, he got out of bed like nothing ever happened. He could put weight on his leg and walked almost like nothing had happened. The doctors were frantic that he was walking about....Took him in for more X rays.....They found the fracture in his femer was healed......I was the only one to be with him that last night...My feelings for Tocho were so intense I must have healed him.....This is not a fairy tale and we are all truly astounded, including the doctors to this day as to the results of the x-rays found the next morning....This incident happened about 10 years ago....Tocho and I have been life partners since this event.
There are those that say this is Twilight Zone stuff....Trust me my friend, the power of love for another soul has no bounds...Tocho is my Soul Mate, a realization for both of us that night .... My love for him cannot be expressed in words.
Be well my friend, your family and friends love you very much...I wish all you folks God's Blessings
You guys are absolute legends! What a blessing to the community.
Good luck Collin. I was in the hospital for two weeks last fall, separate. I felt like a pin cushion. Be safe and don't be nervous
Prayers for a great surgery and fast recovery Colin! 🇺🇸🤘🏼🙏🏻
Love watching your vids. It’s easy to see why your crew is so loyal and invested. Matt your a stand up guy, hope you get a bit of rest and your boy is feeling better and back on his game after his surgery. You to Jaymie , take care and Collin feel better.
You guys need to add an decent electric chainsaw to your equipment list. Lol
Thank you for the way you raise your kids and the way you are with your employees,I know you are not perfect but you are a great blessing to the world. Thanks for your time and I'm going to meet you at some point.
All the best young man . Happy trails
Thank you for sharing your sons story. I had my left arm severed at the shoulder when I was run over off duty. They where able to save it but lost the shoulder and use from elbow up but have pretty good use of my hand just that I’m left handed. Glad you’re son surgery went great.
I can’t wait to see what you do with that 10x10 spud truck
Praying 🙏 for Colin's Recovery and the Family as a whole. Love watching this channel and inspires me for my channel every day! You can tell you are all good people and your a true blessing to others. God is working through you all every day!
Wait, you're going to rescue a vehicle that was killed because it ran out of brakes... and then your vehicle runs out of brakes, isn't that a little creepy..😱😱😱
Murphy's Law always applies.😉
The mechanical Gremlins usually wait for the right for them moments to strike.🤬
Jinxed Hill - is it Amityville ??
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, that trail has a brake demon or something.
Should’ve brought some sage to burn or a shaman or something like that.
What do you mean by creepy? Did you mean ironic or coincidental? Because nothing creepy happened.
Glad know one got hurt. I've been in the same situation with a backhoe and going over a hill and had to hit a new garbage truck to get stopped. Great job guy's and keep up the great work. Stay safe and thanks for the video.
WOW! I hope that all works out for Collin !
im doing fine lol you are talking to me right?? jk
Matt, you're a rock! You have a great many responsibilities that can take a toll on any one person! It's not always peaches and cream, but you try to make it out to be! You and Jenni need a spa day! You both need pampered every now and then! When Collin's finished healing from surgery and physical therapy, take the family on a vacation! Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next...
