I feel your pain about not wanting to bore anyone. But, rest assured that I, and many others like me, enjoy every moment of your videos! You are so competent in what you do, and seem so at ease. You have a wonderful family. Your wife and kids are amazing and always have smiles on their faces. The love is obvious! You and the people around you have such great attitudes! This is what our world needs more of!
Hope it's ok to speak for everyone here but your videos r awesome and I think we all like it's not reality TV. It's just you doing your thing. Really refreshing and your doing great at it. Keep going your on to something here
I live near Pismo Beach CA and got stuck in the river crossing about 25 years ago. I wish the tow company that recovered my truck had the same business ethics yours does.
My mother is from San Luis Obispo. to keep it short I went down there one summer to visit family I went to the beach and I saw a person who was stuck and I didn't realize that it was illegal for me to pull them out of the sand dunes.... The towing company that operates there with a giant Tonka trucks call the park ranger which in turn called the police and they threatened to fine me if I did it again..... I ended up pulling two other people out anyways 😂
Tom Hodge when I got stuck there were several guys watching who never helped. Anybody can tow out stuck vehicles they just can’t accept money. I’ve been going out there for years and make it a point to help out as many people as possible.
5:18 that’s so satisfying watching the tires squish in... I don’t know how to explain it but for whatever reason what comes to mind is just simply delicious.
I watch the channel for the cool towing and cause of Matt. If it would be some other ahole know it all Im sure I would of tuned out a long time ago. Says something about Matt how humble he is and keeps channel focused on everyone else and everything else BUT himself. He never rambles on about himself, which is something all youtubers do. Thank you for not doing that. So if you wanna show your derby we are with you bro!
"Turning sharp and slow speed will definitely end your trip". Not exactly. That is when they get to meet you ! Great video. I like the derby video also.
Don’t be so self continuous about it brother. Those of us that like off-roading just love watching the lifestyle. You are a cool, honest down to earth dude and that has become exceedingly rare on utube. Keep recording and we’ll keep watching. We live vicariously through you when we’re stuck at the shop/office and can’t be out there ourselves. Bought the white hat.
I just discovered your channel about a week ago, and I've been binge watching ever since! Dig the way you film, speak, and explain things. Big ups to you man! All the best, from South Africa
Well,as a car restorer demo derbies make me sad.....But you had fun and kids had fun that's what counts...Yes I watched it ..and cried!! I don't care if people use 1980's and up cars but older ones especially early 1970's and older really make me sad... Now back of to finish repainting a 1965 Chrysler 300 2 door (very nice car,please don't use them)...It's a good friends car and a hot rod too factory 413 4bbl and a 4 speed! Car restored to stock condition and it flies!! Wish it was mine lol... Love the videos,good review on the tires...
Hey Matt !! We love our Milestar’s. We’ve had them on for a couple weeks and they performed great on the trail. Different conditions than you have. Bug needs one of those hats!! ❤️🐞
Junky sounds lumpy. Nothing like a good ol fashioned "D" derby to blow off steam. I had fun watchin you guys having fun. Great vid. Thanks for the tip on the recovery ropes too Matt.
Good job! I run them tires on my Jeep JK but 37's haven't been real off roading with them yet and the place I play down by the lake is all under water. The derby was fun to watch, reminded me of my younger days at the drag strip with my friends old 54 ford 427. We spent hours at his dad's junk yard working on it so he could race it a few times, then back to the shop to fix it.
Nothing like a good old smash & crash Derby on a Saturday night. Especially the view at the end with the water fall n people jumping in for a cool dip after a hot race
Great shot of toquerville falls at the end. Went there for the first time a few weeks ago after living down here almost 8 years. Roughest road I've ever driven...even more than when I've gone hunting in the mountains
Thanks for giving your opinion on these tires. I think it is pretty awesome you are willing to respond to your viewers like that! I wish you and your family all the best and continued success!
Looks like a hoot. Great videos Matt. Most of the work related videos fail to show what else is going on in their lives. You just put it out there. Thanks.
Heck yeah! New sub here! just binge watching all your videos. So peaceful to watch you help these people out and work on cars and stuff. I hope to make a trip to Utah soon, looks so beautiful. Definitely add some more merch to your website for the fans 👌 keep up the great work and entertainment.
Matt I live in GA and I love watching your videos the tires that you run I have the same tires on my Dogde 1500 Hemi and I love these tires I'm 60 yrs old and I ain't walking
Enjoyed the sand driving lesson. I have been to Utah but didn’t have opportunity to drive in the Utah sand. The sand driving we have is on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The Outer Banks is a sand spit with no rocks. The tire of choice for beach driving is a big car tire with a worn out tread aired down to 25 lbs. Aggressive truck treads just dig a hole toward China. I hope to revisit Utah and drive around a bit.
I had the 33 size of those tire on my JK and was really happy with them. They never saw sand but they got through the mud pretty good and kept grip on rocks with no complaints. The treads got pretty clean under light acceleration....overall a pretty decent tire at an agreeable price point. Hope they are still working for you. IDK how I stumbled across your videos-they are unlike anything else I watch on here-but I thoroughly enjoy them. You have a great personality for this stuff dude. Keep up the great work
Love the car I have always wanted to drive one but that isn’t going to happen. You are my fun and I hope you will do it again. I thank you for your video. Many thanks.
I really have a great time watching your channel. The content is really interesting and there are a lot of lessons in there for me. Keep up the awesome work! Btw, you do a great job presenting your work, the whole thing feels like I am on a ride along. Thanks for taking us all along.
I have a 2000 XJ and the B2 downstream always shorts to ground. For some reason they had a great idea to have the end of the sensor sitting right against the bellhousing. It eventually breaks the wires and they short to ground.
Man injoy all your videos this better i relax when me watch your videos O yes sometime me jumping up to try sit next to you when you recover Thanks Mentor The biggest outstanding in all your videos clip is when you spent a lots of time with your family hang out in the deserts drifting fun that is a blessing to see family are so happy and injoy it And with your friend Thanks Mentor
A few years ago I bought a used CX-9 and it came with new MileStar tires. I was like what they heck are these. I was surprised at how good and how long they lasted. Very impressed with these budget tires
Bought my jeep about a month ago (91 yj) and it came with brand new 33x12.5 Patagonia tires on it. So far what I've gathered is that they do very good on sand, pretty good on rocks, very good in loose cinders, not very good in gravel, and for a mud tire very good on pavement. I have yet to try them in mud because I don't want the inside of my jeep to become brown. And I'm excited to try them in snow this winter. We'll see if they can do better than the ko2's on my truck that do insanely good in snow. Also they don't seem very durable compared too the ko2. Already have gotten some stuff loged in the tread blocks and they are already getting some mild chunking. Only time will tell with these tires
Let me know how they turn out ! I have a 95 yj..do you have big plans for your yj? Or any plans at all? If so keep me plugged in on what your doing lol
@@KingsChevyShow Big plans? Yes. The budget for my plans? No. Haha. So far the jeep just has a 4in lift and 33x12.5, front bumper, bestop seats, warn winch and some other odds and ends. Plans for the next year or so are new rear axle locked and geard, gears on the front axle, better clearence fenders, lighting upgrades, new top and probably some other little stuff. Long term it will be getting a diesel, dana 44's, around a 6in stretch, 37's and a whole pile of other things. That's pretty long term tho as I want to get my squarebody pickup built first (going to be doing engine work, coilovers, new paint etc.) And I'm still in college so I don't have the biggest budget!
" If you don't want to watch, just tune out " LMAO. Who wouldn't want to watch your channel? Thanks for sharing the fun footage of the Derby. Regards from S Africa Clive
Thx Matt enjoyed the tire review, driving review and wrecken video, FWIW I spent alot of time on 2 wheelers in sand not much 4wheelin tho always told newbies including 3 daughters and 5 G'kids think of sand as water like a boat you gotta get on top of it, so stand up lean back with knees pinching the seat/tank and pin it works every time, turnings a little more technical. Pumas is the worst Ive ever ran into, like quicksand. Looks like you got it down on 4x4 with all the work you get hauling 'em out with that awesome Cherolee. Keep em coming Matt.
Videos on techniques in sand and mud would be awesome. Recovery techniques too! Anchor points, recovery strap vs tow strap etc. Thanks for the great videos!!
I don't know if anyone still makes them, but for sand and most mud, the BEST tires I ever used were the Grand Prix RVT's. I ran the 36"X 12.50 on my old Power Wagon after having a smaller set on the old Jeep Honcho and never managed to stick them bad enough I couldn't blunder my way out on my own. Just pull the magic button in the glove box, tach it up to the red line, and side step the clutch. If the clutch didn't come through the floor, you were up and out. LOL
Glad to hear the Milestar works so well for you. We have a set of Milestars that came with our Mazda CX5 (way different application obviously) and they are worthless on wet pavement! They lose their grip immediately and I would never recommend them. I am looking to replace them with a set of Falken Wild Peak AT shortly. Well before they are even close to being worn out because I dont feel safe having my wife drive with those on the car, especially since there is a couple of kids in there usually also. Thanks for all of your videos. I love going back and watching as many as I can.
I really like your videos I'm being beginning to binge watch your Channelmy sister used to live in Kanab and I remember Derbies from when I was very young keep up the good work

Comment of the decade. Somebody called you the Bob Ross of Towing, and I got to agree!
Man I really enjoy your videos, I like down to earth honest people, thanks for sharing.
Nothing better then real world experience to really know and explain how something performs. Thanks for the insight and demonstration!
You record what you want to record, of they wanna watch it they will. If they don't they won't. Love to see a derby car/truck build.

That destruction derby was a terrific ending.........loved it, thanks!
Tire review, wheeling, how to get out of sand in 2 wheel drive and demolition derby.....EPIC VIDEO!
Boing back to view some of the older ones. What great videos. Crazy how much the kids have grow. Great family times right here.
I just discovered your channel about a week ago, and I've been binge watching ever since! Dig the way you film, speak, and explain things. Big ups to you man! All the best, from South Africa
just recently found your channel, love it. No swearing so i can show the grand kids, its great. All the best from Australia.
I'm glad to see a tire review. I know how hard it is to settle on a tire and price that make sense.
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery
Speaking of which, could you make another realistic review on the Patagonias, now that you have worn them down ?
Well, you still haven't found any that makes sense. These tires are way over priced for what you get.
I like the Cosmo Kramer portrait in your office. Classic.
Well,as a car restorer demo derbies make me sad.....But you had fun and kids had fun that's what counts...Yes I watched it ..and cried!!
I don't care if people use 1980's and up cars but older ones especially early 1970's and older really make me sad...
Now back of to finish repainting a 1965 Chrysler 300 2 door (very nice car,please don't use them)...It's a good friends car and a hot rod too factory 413 4bbl and a 4 speed! Car restored to stock condition and it flies!! Wish it was mine lol...
Love the videos,good review on the tires...
Love the Demo Derby footage, brings back fond memories from back in the 70s & 80s when I worked at Sante Fe Speedway.
Excited for the merch man! You do you and keep on keepin’ on!
Never knew you had more sand out there then we have in Florida!
Enjoying the videos!
His sand looks pretty bad but idk our sand here in florida is no frickin joke in some spots. Where i live the sand is like flour.
@@9716-i7f
I've encountered more sugar sand then anything. I'm in Thonotosassa but do most of my offroading in the Ocala area.
Demo Derby's are great but I really love a Figure 8!
I loved the derby footage. I have to get out to one or more of 'em this fall. It's always a great way to spend a fall evening.
Hey Matt !! We love our Milestar’s. We’ve had them on for a couple weeks and they performed great on the trail. Different conditions than you have. Bug needs one of those hats!! ❤️🐞

It’s nice to have a Casey and an Ed!

Really like your videos and you do have a calmness about you and very informative
Oh p.s. you sure got those tires barking
Dude ur so humble. Thanks man

Joseph Luke I’m looking at these for a f150. How many miles and wear are on yours? Sav ga
I learned to drive in the sand In the 80s right there long before the lake in a F250 diesel with skinny tires.

Not just having a badass jeep but also some good common sense helps. Here in NY I never see the box beam on the door also saw it in Canada. Good idea.

Nice video, wonderful family. Demos are fun to watch, a real pain in the neck to drive in.
Just watched this video again. Just as good as the first time! Those header pipes look like something from MadMax! Must have been a fun night!!
Matt makes me want a set of Patagonia's for my dad's bronco when I finally get it fixed up and back road worthy

It's been a long time since I saw a demolition derby.
The derby looks like fun!
I would go for thunderer Trac grips for your next tire but cheap and impeccable grip
I love derbis. That old Lincoln 👌
Wow we went to those falls the first of June. There was a lot more water. Love the videos

I like your approach to 4x4 driving. To many people just put that right foot to the floor.

Thanks for the tire review. The derby was cool to see. Keep the videos coming sir.
Great video thank you! Looking forward to the one about sand off roading!
9 psi... you are much more brave than I!
Any derby footage is great and keep up the great vidoes
Damn that's crazy. I dodnt know that about sand but it makes complete sense. Dryer the sand the softer it gets.
That was a great video 👍👍👍👍👍 the part was great seeing you in your fun time
Like the swimming hole n falls n the tips of two wheel tire drive on sand no sharp turns wide turns only.
I like the look of those tire I ran maxxis 40 on my f250
Great info to know!!!
Also, nice quality family time....keep up the great work!!
Loved the derby footage!
