@@dubious6718 yea, I saw that. It was funny to see him tell people to stop after they already damaged something and after the crew got there. But it’s still better than getting help and not telling them they don’t need recovery anymore
1 I dont think offering help is stealing. 2 There seems to be an issue with people using soft shackles wrong. Wouldn't surprise me if the same happend with blue steele. 3 The T-Shirt is for his wife. 4 Flood damage is hard on cars.
Jerking on it with a static strap... lucky all that got hurt was the window and taillight. That would have been a lot even for kinetic. Winch was definitely the right tool for that job. And with the wrecker booms being able to lift as well as pull made that look easy! Well done Matt and crew! Making the impossible look easy and professionalism all the way!
@Matt's Off Road Recovery yeah a little education can go a long way. Even the "proper" equipment can be dangerous if used improperly. That's one of the things I really like about your channel is that you're pretty good about explaining what you're doing and why. It's not quite a how-to video but it shows that you have the safety of your crew and the customer's vehicle in mind. Sometimes there's just no good way to do something and you do the best you can with what you have but you always make it as safe as possible. Hats off to you my friend keep it up.
I broke a 25,000 lb kinetic rope pulling with my Tacoma against a 2500 Silverado Duramax with its front axle buried in mud to the frame. Took out my tailgate. Then I used my Hi-Lift on a couple of 4x4's to lift the front out. Still got them out. New tailgate $120. Black primer contrasts well with my red Takoma. Lots of fun.
Man, the wrecker made that job look easy! I know from watching previous mud recoveries that's not the case. You guys have built an incredible recovery asset.
I was thinking the same. Even with Winches, the Morvair would have been slipping and likely need to be anchored etc, and it would have been a much harder pull out to the road. This was the purpose designed rig Matt envisioned and is now proven, even as it is being further improved and tuned. One improvement I would add right away is a textured mat to the toolbox lid so that if there are riders they are more secure from sliding around on rough roads. Databyter
Lesson learned: never kinetic pull a vehicle out that is stuck deep in mud. The suction is too much and damage will occur. Use a winch with constant pressure instead. Matt has said this numerous times in his videos! It's always been true!
@@jordanwacker7762 Yes, absolutely true, you shouldn't do a "kinetic" pull without an actual kinetic rope, so that's half of their failure. But Matt's been very clear about NOT doing a kinetic pull in these conditions even with the correct gear for the reasons that Joe mentioned. There's just too much suction and you're going to break things. Slow and steady with a winch is MUCH safer.
@@jordanwacker7762 Not that a real snatch strap is bad, It's what we Aussies have gown up with, just 20% stretch instead of a yankum's 30%. It's plain straps that are the terrible idea.
Im only 33 but I already know that will be a weakness for me lol. My little nieces and nephews and younger cousins already get me. My own kids little ones. I know it’s awesome to see. My best friends and cousin just had a son. Every time I am around him I just cant stop smiling. Cant wait to have my own.
That wrecker is a game changer, tough recoveries are now much easier which reduces risks of injury to people and damage to customer vehicles. It's a shining example of work smarter not harder.
Matt, I know that your experience has a lot to do with your success in retrieving vehicles from some crazy places, but that extreme wrecker has got to be the coolest recovery vehicle for off road vehicles ever seen! The ability to pull that Jeep out without and seeming effort at all is beyond belief!
While everyone is raving about the wrecker, the Morrvair is quietly proving she is still a beast!! I think Matt has an awesome fleet of recovery vehicles!!
Matt seems like the kind of boss that you could learn from without causing undue stress -blowing a lid over mistakes. I absolutely love the godly nature of this company.
@The Trashman Matt said a while back they didn't do that because they needed all the visibility they could get, and a crew cab would just introduce more blind spots, or something to that extent.
The ability to lift upwards on that jeep is what made it come out so easily. Hard to appreciate the difference that makes instead of trying push the mud along behind it.
Yeah, I don't know if it would have been possible even with the Morrvair AND the Banana winching in tandem. Needed elevation. Off-Road Wrecker earning its keep right there.
I have moved some very heavy stuff with the simple addition of a gin pole. Instead of trying to pull the thing through the slope a gin pole allows you to pull it upward and away/above the slope. Even the simple addition of a tire rim (so the rope, cable, chain goes up and over) makes a huge difference and is well worth the effort.
@@theuglytruth8162 lol, here you are again troll! You never disappoint! Your total green envy of Matt makes me wonder if you have a crush on him and resent the fact that he gives you no attention, no matter how hard you cry for it. Hope you get over it and for the love of God, seek help. Cheers!
I've heard Matt comment several times about the lack of fenders on the Off Road Wrecker. Some of the larger 4wd tractors have fenders that bolt to the axle and turn with the tire. The fenders are plastic and light weight. Possible they could be adapted to work on the wrecker.
@@warrendon1388 I think what he is getting at is if the fender is mounted to the axle the fender will move as the suspension flexes allowing there to be very little clearance between the tire and the fender with out ever interfering.
It's easy to look at all those rigs and wonder why they didn't get the Jeep out without MORR's help. Then you watch Matt's crew do the job and realize how much skill is really involved to do it right.
Sad to see the jeep damaged from people trying to help. Sad cause even if they got it out of the water, it still wouldn't be going anywhere til Matt showed up anyways. Spotted the demolitia shirt... way to go Rhett!
You know, if someone could wave a magic wand and wipe out stupidity, Matt's business would be cut in half. 🤣 Glad that can't happen! Another great video Matt and crew! Keep up the great work.
Grandpa in the jeep scored some grandson hero points! Nothing better than hearing your grandson saying "come on grandpa you can do that"! Great jobs as allways!
@@jamesw.6931 Getting stuck is just part of off roading… Typically this exact scenario is avoided, but that is part of the excitement of offloading is you never know what’s coming next.🤷♂️
@@jamesw.6931 I do agree and I certainly have never totalled a vehicle myself off roading and hope I never do. What I’m saying is it is an inherently unpredictable environment when you’re off roading and it is easy to miss judge a situation. Myself I normally get out and find a long stick that I can put in water before driving through it so I know how deep it is and how soft the mud on the bottom is.
I really love the "World's Largest Off Road Wrecker", it is so cool. One thing that you need to add to it, are jump seats or a rumble seat in the back.
8:06 AWESOME SHOT! The Heavy Wrecker has totally paid off. That recovery looked so easy for it and quite sure the Banana and MORRvair would have taken a lot more to get it out.
This is the second time I've watched a grandparent with their grandchild be rescued on you're channel and I freaking love it!! Those memories will never be forgotten 😊.
Jefe is like a little kid in his new bronco you can tell that he is so happy with that thing they probably made his dreams come true he wants to take that thing on every single recovery it seems like
Back when I was a kid, on one of our annual Jeep Patrol sand dune trips, one of my dads good friends was double dared to drive thu a “shallow” pond. I can still remember them sitting on top of the Jeep out in the middle waiting for someone to come back off the dunes that had a long enough wench to pull them out. Sure wish we could have had a wrecker like Matt’s back then. It definitely makes a potentially hard recovery look easy. Great video and thanks for the fond memory! 😊❤
You need to install a couple of old Subaru jump seats with the handles to hold onto for on top of the tool boxes. Last time Tom was up there now its Lizzy. Would make for a lot better ride.
Those aerial shots are so funny, the wrecker really does just leave everything behind 😂😂 You can see how well it handles whoops compared to everyone else
Well it’s got 20” travel in the shocks and the spring rate in the sidewalls of the 44” tires. That truck was “designed” to do certain things and mud removals is what it was designed for.
Only down side... I could see someone getting thumped pretty good from a good sized rock coming off those big tires... Would have to build some type of fender 😊
Watching lifted jeeps with mud tires get stuck in some basic mud puddle is a growing youtube pleasure of mine and the fact that it happens so often is just a cherry on top
i love that the comparison used to be “wow! the morrvair killed this. this would’ve been much harder in the banana!” now it’s “wow! the wrecker killed this. this would’ve been much harder in the morrvair!”
As much as people have been riding on the back, you might think about some sort of jump seat, and belt to help keep them safe. I know when things get squirrelly people aren't up there, but I would hate for anyone to get hurt even in transit. Better to be safe than sorry, with the added bonus of being more comfortable for them. Heck might as well do a little jump seat/cushion in between the front seats Matt!
Everything about this video is great, awesome drone shots at the drowned Jeep, everyone gets to have a wheel in the wrecker, Jaymie always smiling, Jefe always smiling and Rhett quite happy to get wet and muddy!! When you first laid down the chassis rails for the wrecker I couldn't see what you could in your mind, but the result is far greater than the sum of its parts, as its ability to lift AND pull made that Jeep rescue a 'so what?' proposition. Weapons-Grade recovery!
I am enjoying seeing Jamie out on recoveries. Doing a fantastic job driving the wrecker. Matt, your did a fantastic job carrying Janie through the mud. 😅
An enjoyable double feature video. I recommend commendations for Lizzey & Rhett for answering the call to duty. Two easy questions 1) Will the wrecker be getting an extended cab or possibly rumble seats ? 2) Will there soon be a line of Matt's Off Road Recovery swimwear or water rescue wetsuits ?
I love the episodes with Rhett now. He used to be so shy and quiet but he has really come out of his shell and is now one of my favorite people to watch on the channel. He's so funny and witty now. Oh, and also loving how easy the wrecker seems to make some of these jobs look. Great work on that build!!!
Lizzie needs a seat belt. Might not be any cops, but she's still at risk of getting thrown off the vehicle. You had extra room in the chase Jeep. Rhett too!
I hope all the doubters who constantly flooded the comment section with their reasons why the wrecker would not work are properly humble now. That thing is awesome!
It almost pains me to see (whether we like it or not) such a valuable vehicle put in a situation of being destroyed, but then I remember I’m not the idiot who did it. Poor jeep.
Matt and his team literally made me think of Looking for property or that way to buy so I can get into the rock climbing instead of mud bogging in this KY mud
This is so not my area of expertise but wouldn't it behoove Matt and team to encourage people to get radios? (GMRS, FRS, CB) The recovery vehicles could have nice antennas to be able to make contacts. Just a thought! Love the videos!
I don't think there are any GMRS repeaters in that part of Utah For vehicle to vehicle might be useful I guess I would suspect that if you don't have cell coverage you wouldn't expect coverage from a handheld or mobile radio either since the cell towers would be placed on the same mountains as the repeaters
They have 2-way hand-held radios, and they've got units they're supposed to mount in the vehicles, but they haven't gotten around to it yet and/or keep leaving the hand-helds behind.
I think it'd ba a great idea to build a couple small lightweight aluminum jumper seats to mount on the wrecker bed somewhere, that's easy to mount and remove with a couple pins so you can remove it in seconds, and be able to fold them up and make a roof rack or something to put them when not in use.
I’m a bit anxious about the people riding on the toolbox while you bounce along on the rough terrain. Yep, the chances of an accident are really small, but the consequences could be terrible. Maybe some kind of seatbelt or harness could be rigged up. Love your videos and the always positive attitudes!
Best video for in a long time, it’s got it all: - great shots - great colours - great family outing - great team outing - great grand dad doing the right thing Oh, and yeah: a vehicle was recovered
After watching the wrecker build over the last year, it is absolutely amazing at what a beast it is and how well it works! Matt would have been stretching the Morrvair to the limits doing dynamic pulls with a rope repeatedly to get this one out..But the wrecker just sits there and yawns in boredom at this Jeep sucked deep in the mud ! A million kudos to Matt & his amazing team in building this wrecker machine! Hmmm...now the problem is ,will the videos get boring since theres little effort involved using the wrecker??!! haha! Great job, MORR team! :-)
I'm going to go ahead and state the obvious (apologize if it's already been said) but, every recovery can be done better and with far less drama with the heavy wrecker. It is so good that you guys would be much better off with a couple more heavy wreckers. That bad boy makes even the most seemingly difficult recovery look like child's play.
Matt's Off Road, you will never believe me but as soon as my dog Cleetus hears Matts voice he comes running to watch because he loves your dogs! Cleetus is a 75lb coon hound mutt and as soon as any dog comes on screen he goes crazy.
I would love to see a video that does a comparison/competition between the Wrecker, Banana, and Morrvair. Like the one you guys did with the Banana and Morrvair when it was completed. That's still one of my favorite videos. I think a video like that every time you guys add a rig to the fleet would be just as incredible as the first one. As always, I really appreciate how positive, uplifting, and building your videos are. Y'all make the world a better place just by being who you are and sharing that with the rest of us. Much love!
Literally each video is better quality and more entertaining than the last. You guys are doing so good and clearly only improving from experience. Best channel ever
Thank you Matt's off road recovery for your intriguing videos and your mastery for getting them out! I am currently in Alabama on vacation but lost my ability to walk so watching alot of your videos. Thank you!
I love how Rhett is being a good sport about this. I feel for ya buddy, my dad would have done the same to me haha. Also, you should do some kind of magnetic mount for the winch controllers. Then you can just smack it to the side of the truck instead of putting it down and running it over...Matt. "You may ask yourself, is it that warm out? No, it's not."
I love the customer stopping people from trying to steal the recovery and I love the wrecker making it look like an easy job.
Someone already tried to help him, and broke his truck, so he didn't take the chance on anyone else helping.
@@dubious6718 yea, I saw that. It was funny to see him tell people to stop after they already damaged something and after the crew got there. But it’s still better than getting help and not telling them they don’t need recovery anymore
All he wanted is the T-Shirt 😁

They tried with a strap to pull it out when most of the vehicles there has a winch.. amateurs.
They should probably watch some UA-cam channels that do recoveries before they go out and use their recovery tools.

As often as people end up riding the toolboxes, you really ought to put seats up there!👍
I was just thinking maybe they should try and put a bench seat in there🤔
I thought the same, two seats with seat belts would be awesome.
@The Trashman Matt said a while back they didn't do that because they needed all the visibility they could get, and a crew cab would just introduce more blind spots, or something to that extent.
I told you you needed a crew cab.

I don’t think there are any words to describe how versatile that wrecker is. It’s amazing.

Something like that might work and not interfere with the sweet sweet lines of the wrecker.

You need to install a couple of old Subaru jump seats with the handles to hold onto for on top of the tool boxes. Last time Tom was up there now its Lizzy. Would make for a lot better ride.
The upload frequency of quality content from MORR is getting *wild*
Nothing like ruining an $80,000 Jeep
That’s 80k???
@Mdozaaa probably more fully trimmed out with all the options as close to 100
A good lesson regarding the damage that can happen if you don't know what you're doing and don't have the right equipment.
I love seeing Rhett get so comfortable in front of the camera recently.
Thats kinda gay
now you might be saying, is it that warm out there? no... that was hilarious!
He's got them big boy muscles now!
I said that a couple of weeks ago I really enjoyed seeing the little youngster....

Oh, and also loving how easy the wrecker seems to make some of these jobs look. Great work on that build!!!
I would love to see the Morrvair and the Banana vs the world's largest Off-Road Wrecker.
Yes please!
Lizzie needs a seat belt. Might not be any cops, but she's still at risk of getting thrown off the vehicle. You had extra room in the chase Jeep.
Rhett too!
I hope all the doubters who constantly flooded the comment section with their reasons why the wrecker would not work are properly humble now.
That thing is awesome!
Yeah 🥰🥰🥰
Excellent recoverys guys.....great teamwork by all !!
That was awesome. Good job Rhett! Bet that water was cold!
It almost pains me to see (whether we like it or not) such a valuable vehicle put in a situation of being destroyed, but then I remember I’m not the idiot who did it. Poor jeep.
Arr the remote! I tell my drivers that they only get to losy the first one , next you pay four. Eddys Towing good recovery 👏
Matt’s head shake when he heard what kind of belt they used when they TRIED to get the Jeep out, priceless.
I get alot of joy just witnessing the life you folks live.❤
You know, the wrecker really is a beast and makes these recoveries look simple. Glad you spent so much time and effort with it. Paint the roof inside!
That's the appeal! It's a work in progress.
Matt and his team literally made me think of Looking for property or that way to buy so I can get into the rock climbing instead of mud bogging in this KY mud
That wrecker is an animal. Your talents are unspeakable. Thanks for the videos. You should get a Matt’s off road headliner for the wrecker
That guy gets the grandpa of the year award for that one!! What a legend :)
This is so not my area of expertise but wouldn't it behoove Matt and team to encourage people to get radios? (GMRS, FRS, CB) The recovery vehicles could have nice antennas to be able to make contacts. Just a thought! Love the videos!
I don't think there are any GMRS repeaters in that part of Utah
For vehicle to vehicle might be useful I guess
I would suspect that if you don't have cell coverage you wouldn't expect coverage from a handheld or mobile radio either since the cell towers would be placed on the same mountains as the repeaters
They have 2-way hand-held radios, and they've got units they're supposed to mount in the vehicles, but they haven't gotten around to it yet and/or keep leaving the hand-helds behind.
I think it'd ba a great idea to build a couple small lightweight aluminum jumper seats to mount on the wrecker bed somewhere, that's easy to mount and remove with a couple pins so you can remove it in seconds, and be able to fold them up and make a roof rack or something to put them when not in use.
At 4:10: Rhett says “that’s a warm spot!” Yeah about that, you realise Rhett there’s no rest rooms out there?
Your camera operators are so good that I forget that they're there and I feel that I am.
I’m a bit anxious about the people riding on the toolbox while you bounce along on the rough terrain. Yep, the chances of an accident are really small, but the consequences could be terrible. Maybe some kind of seatbelt or harness could be rigged up.
Love your videos and the always positive attitudes!
maybe just propper seats would be it.
but the wrecker isn't bouncing to much anyways.
Best video for in a long time, it’s got it all:
- great shots
- great colours
- great family outing
- great team outing
- great grand dad doing the right thing
Oh, and yeah: a vehicle was recovered
After watching the wrecker build over the last year, it is absolutely amazing at what a beast it is and how well it works! Matt would have been stretching the Morrvair to the limits doing dynamic pulls with a rope repeatedly to get this one out..But the wrecker just sits there and yawns in boredom at this Jeep sucked deep in the mud ! A million kudos to Matt & his amazing team in building this wrecker machine! Hmmm...now the problem is ,will the videos get boring since theres little effort involved using the wrecker??!! haha! Great job, MORR team! :-)
I'm going to go ahead and state the obvious (apologize if it's already been said) but, every recovery can be done better and with far less drama with the heavy wrecker. It is so good that you guys would be much better off with a couple more heavy wreckers. That bad boy makes even the most seemingly difficult recovery look like child's play.
Way to go Rhett! He’s opening up more and talking! I like it!
The Jeep had dreams to be a submarine 😅
Thank you for sharing
Matt needs to get the people at Rinse Kit to sponsor him, he definitely needs the 4 gallon hot water shower setup as muddy as they get.
BOTH wives on the same Job?? Rare to see lizzy AND Jaime on the same mission! 🤣
Like everyone else I’ve had my ups and downs In life but at both times this show has always made me 100x happier than I was before I clicked play!
When you’re feeling a bit down, go back and watch a few of your favorites!
Love seeing Rhett out on the recoveries he's a funny kid
That guy was the voice of reason telling everyone to back off. You should make him part of the crew!
Matt's Off Road, you will never believe me but as soon as my dog Cleetus hears Matts voice he comes running to watch because he loves your dogs! Cleetus is a 75lb coon hound mutt and as soon as any dog comes on screen he goes crazy.
You guys have come a long way from the days of only the Banana without a permanent winch. The wrecker was the perfect tool for the job this time.
I would love to see a video that does a comparison/competition between the Wrecker, Banana, and Morrvair. Like the one you guys did with the Banana and Morrvair when it was completed. That's still one of my favorite videos. I think a video like that every time you guys add a rig to the fleet would be just as incredible as the first one.
As always, I really appreciate how positive, uplifting, and building your videos are. Y'all make the world a better place just by being who you are and sharing that with the rest of us. Much love!
great job you guys are always so happy it's a rare thing to see these days stay you.
Literally each video is better quality and more entertaining than the last. You guys are doing so good and clearly only improving from experience. Best channel ever
Good to see Rhett sporting the demolitia gear.
Thank you Matt's off road recovery for your intriguing videos and your mastery for getting them out! I am currently in Alabama on vacation but lost my ability to walk so watching alot of your videos. Thank you!
Really fun watching Jefe driving his Bronco,,, a happy kid !! And Rhett is a good kid, great team.
Both recoveries turned out to be way easier than I was expecting them to be. Well done gang!!
I love how Rhett is being a good sport about this. I feel for ya buddy, my dad would have done the same to me haha. Also, you should do some kind of magnetic mount for the winch controllers. Then you can just smack it to the side of the truck instead of putting it down and running it over...Matt.
"You may ask yourself, is it that warm out? No, it's not."
