Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
I really like how the rescuees describe how they got stuck. No shame, no embarrassment, just part of their lives. "went forward, got stuck, moved back, made it worse". 👍💪. "We'll get them out!"
It takes mistakes to become a good driver. Gotta put yourself in bad situations to find and expand the limits of your abilities. No reason to be ashamed unless you did something overtly stupid
It's all part of being out on the trails sooner or later you're going to get in a bad way and need help the key is keeping the greasy side down
It never seizes to amaze me that people have so little concern about getting stuck when they drive onto the sand in vehicles not designed to do so. Even the ones that are designed for it get stuck. Oh well.
🎉
Even if you're an experienced off road enthusiast, you're eventually going to be faced with an obstacle or situation where there's a good chance you won't make it, and there's also a good chance you don't have to attempt it either. The ones that try regardless of that risk are the ones that learn more about their vehicle and their skills, regardless of whether they make it or not. And before you say it, I can already hear you now..."but what if you don't have someone there to pull you out, or you don't have recovery gear? It's important to not get stuck in that situation!", to that I say, what on earth are you doing all by yourself on a trail without recovery gear of any sort? Sure, most of what Matt posts are people in the same position, but places like Sand Hollow have tons of capable vehicles that will see you and offer help, and there's also people like Matt to call, so you're never really riding alone in that sense. Go get yourself stuck, figure out how to get yourself unstuck, get some help if you can't, and learn how to do it better next time.
From someone who lives in a very busy town in a second world country, watching your episodes is like watching an alien planet. A very cool one.
@@0xsergy I have an RV and these vehicles are insane. These huge rigs are totally alien to me. I couldn't afford the tires for these beasts.
camper trailers are popular up here but those big rigs are very Americana; pretty much wont find them anywhere else.
@@paddington1670 hard to find place to even drive them in europe/anywhere outside of grid-based america. roads are narrower, etc. makes it much more difficult for the weekend driver.
@@robminch8592 Agreed. I mean, people can drive whatever they want. It’s their money. Not for me to dictate. But when I see RV’s that are the size of mobile homes, I just think… man that’s a little excessive. I mean, come on. Do you really have to take your entire house with you? You can’t make a few compromises while you are out traveling? I just don’t get it man. My idea of traveling versus some other people’s is clearly different.
@@seth4321 For the money that thing probrally cost I can travel for several years going to good hotels and rent cars in every destination. I don't like bag pack traveling, I need a shower and a good toilette as a bare minimum
That was so smart of the owner to stop when he felt it start to dig in. Kept the axle and frame off the sand and made it so much easier to pull out. Smart.
You don't get to be in a position to afford a rig like that by being foolish.
It was foolish of the owner to drive that thing off the pavement at all.
@@katherinecollins9636 Not really. There are plenty of places it would do fine. Just not there.
@@katherinecollins9636 Sometimes you just get unlucky and hit a unexpectedly soft spot but with a lot of hard earned experience you can learn to spot some clues to avoid the bad areas. The problem is that the behavior of sand can change just based on relative humidity so best of luck to any tourist in being able to accurately judge where it is safe to drive. For comparison a typical Concrete Truck weighs about the same and has much fewer axles and tires to distribute the weight across and they drive through worse all the time but, the drivers are usually only operating within a specific geographic area so they have the opportunity to learn how to drive in such off-road conditions with heavy rigs.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 ,
Maybe a hard packed dirt road or a hard packed gravel road. Sand beaches are usually heavy vehicle traps.
Matt and Crew, thanks for the assist getting us unstuck. It is much appreciated! We watch your video's faithfully and was fun to participate in 1!!
Thanks for letting Matt film, this was worth my time to watch! It's always nice to see customers in the comments too.
UA-cam wants to know how much it cost ;-)
@@JohnFL we never kiss and tell!!
@@JohnFL it costed a $25 subway giftcard. i was the grain of sand at 2:03
@@MightbePettingmyCat Haha, the grain of sand at 2:03 doesn't even know what the job looked like lol
@@JohnFL my guess would be around the 1 million dollar mark give or take some.. They're beyond expensive! But seeing and have been inside a couple I can say they are phenomenal inside. Sh1t will blow your mind how much is in there and the luxury. I wouldn't pay that much myself but I can understand why some do.
Thats a smart young man who knew the engine was quiet and he had to watch the RPMs. Hes already a pro. 👍
What’s the reason behind that?
@@mattvoelker8145 Some folks don't like loud vehicle noise.😎
P
@@mattvoelker8145 Most vehicles are quiet. It's so you can hear the conversation or the stereo, instead of engine and road noise all the time.
I learned to drive by watching the rev counter rather than listening, and the first car I drove that wasn't an instructor's didn't even have vibrations to help except through the gear level.
In my experience, you get sick to death of loud vehicle noises all the time. That's why my sports bike had to go in favour of a big sports tourer; a fancy titanium exhaust sounds great when you're bouncing the noise off the sides of a valley while zooming up it, but less so on the 200-mile A-road grind to get to said valleys. Plus, it was murdering my hearing. Took a week for my ears to stop ringing after this year's road trip.
@@549BR I think he was asking why is it important to watch the rpm’s if you can’t hear the motor.?.. and that is because you make the situation worse if you just spin tires while stuck. You have to be able to pay attention to what you are doing and not just mash the accelerator
Rhett has shown that he has amazing intuition and skills already, I can't wait to see him continue to grow those skills as he gets older. He also really seems to enjoy every project.
Most impressive, young man!!
Have you seen him rock crawling ? Amazing for a young ‘un. 👏🏼❤️🇷🇴
@@clivehorridge I don't think I have - I'll have to look for that! No doubt he kills that, too :) He has confidence in himself, well beyond his years, and good for him!
Gotta start em young into projects like these and get them hooked before video games rot their brains and they lose the concept of reality
@@clivehorridge Rock crawling didn't faze him, it's like he trusted it to work already. Yea, he's got a great attitude and is learning from the best.
9:49 my boyfriend and I went out to sand hollow last year, both experienced off-roaders, we were in his extremely lightweight fozzy... and although we didnt actually get stuck, let me say this: it doesn't matter what type of vehicle you have - that sand is somethin else! It will grab & sink almost anything hahaha
You love your bf more than cows
@@somebodyandthem explain?
@@somebodyandthem wtf?
Holly's bumper is the reason most every other bumper have two recovery points, one each over where the bumper bolts to the frame rails. Otherwise the centered point just creates a convenient lever to tweak the bumper, over and over.
To be fair it was not designed for this. It’s meant to be a lightweight piece of armor and recovery point for this specific rig and for use with winches (and I’ve literally used it a hundred times in the correct manner with no issue). Play stupid games, win stupid prizes and you can literally hear when one of the welds failed as the kinetic rope does it’s thing. Totally my fault for using a purpose built part well outside of its intended purpose.
Hey, cool thanks for the reply. Matt does exceed recommended usage for sure 😂
I can never get over how incredible that 5.3. in the Morr-vair sounds when she's putting in the work.
Ong
Is it just a Chevy 5.3? Out of a Silverado?
@@bane1 its been stroked out
Yes! I want one!
@@bane1 yup ls1 I belife
I love these guys! Matt reminds me so much of my dad its uncanny. My dad ran heavy equipment and loved to 4x4, he passed in 2006 and I miss him everyday. Matt's red beard, laid back attitude and smile are all reminiscent of my dad! So happy to have found this channel!
@@MBS10MILL who’s scamming insurance companies?
@Millionaire Life care to elaborate? Haha
cracks me up whenever matt goes full dad on a customer telling them they need to fix this and that w their vehicle. the look on his face is priceless👽
That guy stopping and not burying that RV made a world of difference. Smart move - he was going to need help either way, might as well not make it worse.
I never get tired of hearing the Moorvair growl
Time flies! Another young man going through the basics just like Lizzy was not so long ago ! Matt, you're a good teacher!
Great episode! It seems like since you’ve started the heavy wrecker build there has been a surplus of recoveries needing the heavy wrecker. I feel like that rig will be especially busy when people start testing the limits of their lockers on the new Chevy ZR2 😮
I don't believe a heavy will be needed to recover any of the midsized trucks like the ZR2 or Tacoma.
The wrecker could have been a massive help if she was done!! I can’t wait to see her in action
This alone would save bumpers ^^
But how is that possible for Trump Supporters?
I love this channel. Matt and his crew are class acts and I see stuff that they do that are extraordinary.
Matt's old buddy Casey was also out at Trail Hero pulling motor homes out with his 5 ton and his Nodwell. It's a shame those 2 had a falling out. Would love to see them reunite.
I just figured they're both busy with their business family and UA-cam I never heard anything about a falling out
@@davidwoermansr I don't think Matt has ever mentioned it, but Casey has answered the question vaguely once or twice. Casey taught Matt a great deal about how to do off road recoveries. He showed him what a kinetic rope was, and how to use it. As Matt's channel started to get popular, I am guessing that Casey wanted to participate somehow in the UA-cam business, and Matt didn't want to share it. If that is the case, I can't blame Matt. So Casey started his own channel. But don't take my word for it. It seems like Casey doesn't want to talk to (or about) Matt, but it would be good for both guys if they would bury the hatchet and work together again. Matt has been very generous helping other UA-camrs like Paul Cox (Fab Rats), Robby Layton. He could give Casey's channel a boost, and Matt's long-time viewers would love to see them working together again.
@@fridaynightgamefilm Casey seems to be enjoying himself just having fun being himself he's not looking for fame more just a hobby because unlike most he don't push merchandise sales or beg you to hit the like button I always hit the dislike if I'm being told to hit the like button especially when they do it before the episode starts
Yeah see, I never heard anything about a falling out either. I just figured they wanted to do their own things.
That single tow point in the middle on Holly's rig is always gonna be a problem, unless it is somehow anchored to the frame. She really needs 2 like most other trail rigs.
Honestly I don't follow her for a reason. That's sad though. Why have it if it's useless
That gray jeep is a bad a$$, him and Mischief pulled that RV out. Props!
Its seems that this is a national challange, who can bring the biggest RV and let Matt to recovery it.
Rules of the sand:
1. be light
2. be fast
None of those applies to any RV on the sand .. 😀
@@grandbuba 😂 so true!!
@@MischiefMakerTV I am so confused what type of Bumper Paul will make. Maybe a Railway track bolted/welded to the frame ? This would definitely work 4 Matt 😂
True😅
That was a beast!
Holly is just a sweet lady with good spirits, Matt is just a talented maestro and all Matt's crew is just the best team ever put together! You Guys are rocking....Love from Montreal!
Hey! Good morning everybody and thumbs UP to MORR!
Lots of planning on that big RV job but it paid off having it come out so smoothly. Good work all around on all these recoveries.👍
Love how natural you handle things. Really feels good and human.
As opposed to what? Robots,? Just seems a strange thing to say
I can’t get enough of this channel. Matt, someone commented that they couldn’t get enough of hearing the Morvair growl. Well I’m deaf, so what gets me is the way it seems to pounce like a big cat when you take off. Love it!
Props to your son for wearing a seatbelt!
Your at a pinnacle Matt. The love you share makes you number one. Thank you sir.
So, what was the total horsepower needed to extract the motorhome ? You are right Matt, Holly needs a real extraction point : - ) I'm sure you will engineer the correct solution. Robbie will paint it up super nice..... Thanks for a great video.
They had more than needed Matt's rope was slack when the RV finnaly spooled up and started putting power to the ground and Holly and grizzly started moving it I'd like to know how much they used I'm wondering what the RV alone has I have mine cranked up to 600 but if he didn't do a heart transplant and requires government juice it's castrated and probably lucky to hit 300 mine also weighs a little over 10k more than hisand streatched a little longer for the small shop and side by side hauler
It's nice to see that 1 second is all it takes Matt to put a smile on a friend who's 'bent out of shape'. A great group of friends helping each other save new friends.
Happy Wednesday MORR family! Hope everyone that sees this can strive today! You are the bomb!
You know what would be perfect for pulling big rigs out of the sand? The World's Biggest Off Road Wrecker.
Somebody should build one of those.
the 'XL' on the side of that rig was a bit of an understatement 🙂
People Hollie already chimed in on her channel about what she wants for the new bumper and why. remember Mischief Maker is her baby, so don't be too disappointed if she doesn't go for a massive super reinforced full on tow bumper, it's her bumper.
If only you had a heavy wrecker...
You mean like the Gigahorse from mad max:fury road type heavy wreaker. Built from two 1959 Cadillac cars built on a truck frame with tractor wheels type.
There is something special about the Morrvair. I like all of the different vehicles that Matt drives but the Morrvair is the one I would chose to drive if I had the opportunity to take it out for a day of off-roading. The wrecker is pretty cool in it's own right and I think as Matt refines it and makes modifications to it to better deal with the situations that are encountered in the recoveries I think the wrecker will become the go to Swiss army knife and mainstay of Matt's operations. But the Morrvair is the real gem, in my opinion anyways. I think pound for pound the Morrvair has what it takes to make an off-roading experience well worth having.
You weren't kidding when you said that you guys have quite a few videos to edit. Watched this one on Holly's channel. Still watching it!
What a scene! Those 4 heavy hitters pulling that monster with that blue backdrop
FINALLY someone that doesn't turn a car off when it's overheating. When the car is off, coolant wont flow and the heat will actually rise for a short time.
What are you supposed to do leave it running until it gets so hot it blows a head gasket and warps the head, or the engine seizes up?
Leave it running with the heat on high and say a prayer to little baby Jesus. Or fix it 🤣
@@Bill-xc8le leave the car running and crank up the heat and fan to high
@@Begge86a shut it off before you do further damage! What are you a millennial?
@@Bill-xc8le if you shut the engine of the heat have no wear to go then in the engine, if you let it idle with the fan on high the heat in the coolant will go through 2 radiators and will let the heat away from the engine
Holly is such a good sport & team player... even when her stuff gets damaged, she's all smiles & looking on the bright side.... she KNOWS Matt is an honorable guy & will make things right.. Great teamwork.... The owner of the rig was smart to have stopped as soon as he felt it.. makes a world of difference.
Good morning Hurricane!
that side shot of the 4 staggered pulling would be a great christmas card :)
quick slackjacking the heavy wrecker build it would have been ideal for this job.
The whole family aspect of the business and Matt's good humor for everything is great to watch.
Not sure if it's been said, but that is a Super C motorhome. They're becoming increasingly popular manufacturers build more models, so I bet you'll be pulling them out more and more in a couple years.
I’ve got one on order
Sorry to disagree, but it is NOT a Super C motorhome shown in the video. Super C's are UNDER 26,000 pounds (excluding trailer) and are built on an F550 chassis or equivalent. This one was built on a SEMI Tractor Chassis and obviously was over the 26k limit for Super C's.
@@1nm1 I think your mixed up. Smaller units like on f550s are called ‘class c’. Bigger units built on truck chassis are called ‘super c’.
@@1nm1 yes, I am correct. F550 and equivalent chassis are Class C models and are smaller, and since this is built on a semi truck chassis and is also as big as most Class A motorhomes, it is indeed a Super C. Also Class C motorhomes can't tow 10000+ lbs of trailer on the hitch which i assume this guy was doing with the huge trailer he had hitched up.
@@allyusjaeger9145 Thanks for the clarification. The overweight trailer probably was acting like an anchor...
On Holly's bumper I would just weld 2x4 gussets from the frame to the bumper on the inside.. should be plenty strong enough then
On Dasher, on Dancer, on Grizzly, Banana. On Holley, on Morrvair and Jefe and Matt. Tom Tom on Gopro, good tugs and that's that.
I won't let the screen door hit me on my way out.
Grizzly had a nice growl to it
Just some idea. When you paint your tow points/hooks in a very bright orange ( or maybe matt's offroad yellow is good enough), then you will get triggered when the rope has been taken off the other cars. the bright color will stand out resulting in you remembering that this piece is also yours instead of a chrome or black color that blends in with the rest of the vehicles resulting in thinking this is something thatnbelongs to that vehicle and forget about it. Just a simple trick that will keep your important gear complete so it is availlable when needed. makes life more easy.
Thanks so much to Matt and crew for another great video. Would’ve bin sweet to have some sort of big heavy wide wheelbase truck maybe with a crane on the back to do heavy pulls ?
Yeah, and maybe a winch or two. Or three. Or seven.
“I like to have *almost* everything I need….” Love it.
Sounds like something ol' Yogi Berra would've said, like "Nobody goes there, anymore; it's too crowded."
I knew there was a reason I didn't fall asleep yet 😂 6:19 A.M.
Been watching for yrs and this video is going in the top 5 highlights.. thanks again for all you guys do
Never understand how you have 51k view and only 6k likes. Smash that like button yall! This ain’t easy work for this crew!
“I’ve got a Ram Rebel, should be fine”
Sounds like famous last words to me🤣
That was impressive! For you to coordinate pulling a 45 foot super c motorcoach, is amazing when you consider all the weight you had to contend with.
It was only 67k and that was loaded without the toys on the trailer probably around 55-57 he had 2 nice rigs and he wasn't burried he stopped before he screwed Matt he was only down a couple inches he just knows his rig enough to know he wasn't getting out without help and stopped where alot of people keep trying till their frames on the ground
@@davidwoermansr It looks like all the truck had to do was release the brakes and roll out.
Cause 4 vehicles yanking and digging in didn't even budge the truck...but then with just 2 pulling it suddenly lurched forward....
@@JackePaperDroid that's because it took forever to spool the turbo and put power to the ground to help that's what castrated rigs that require government juice have to deal with that's why all my trucks have older engines I have a 2 year old truck I put a 15 year old engine in it gained 300+ horsepower and got rid of the government juice
@@davidwoermansr c'mon, man. I'm a fan of the channel too...and I'm not gonna claim to know more about big trucks than you. But go back and watch again. The truck was not stuck... Didn't spin any tires coming out. I can't see the stacks so i can't tell if he was spooling up or just released the brake... But the truck moved under its own power when it decided to go not when they started pulling.
At the very least you can agree that the first yank didn't accomplish anything. And it was DEFINITELY not a 4 man job to pull it out. One of the two jeeps, or a single winch line would have been sufficient.
Watch it agaim and be honest.. AND if it was that much weight why wouldn't they disconnect the trailer first?
@@JackePaperDroid I already said Matt's vehicles didn't help but if it wasn't stuck 4 jeeps would've drug it all over it wasn't burried but wasn't getting out alone I think the Morrvaire would've been plenty just doing a deadpull no need for a jerk he only had the passenger side off the hardpack and his trailer was 10k lighter than when he started spinning but he was down enough it wasn't getting out alone if his buggies had a hitch point he could've pulled himself out with 1 of them they both have plenty of power but not many people put hitch points or winches on rock bouncers
Matt, as a 30 year heavy recovery operator, be very careful using those tow hooks! Always hook a strap to both hooks in basket. Especially on Peterbilts. Many of these rigs have aluminum cross members. If you shockload one hook? You can pull one rail & diamond the frame.
Thanks Matt, that was my favorite, it looked cool with all of them pulling from the wide angle
The Morvair is an incredible beast!
I hear the roar of its sweet exhaust in my sleep!
Epic episode.
I could hear the exhaustion in Matt's voice. I hope he was good to himself and allowed him to get some well-earned rest.
End of trail hero he probably had a late night and long next day getting people who stayed 1 extra night to avoid heavy traffic
@@davidwoermansr yep that's exactly what I was referring to.
@@DonAshcraft I'm talking about the people who get a 7 day pass to the park trail hero is 5 days alot leave that evening most the 6th day then there's a bunch of stragglers like me who wait 1 more day because I get paid the same if I'm at work or home I do need to get up there again but I decided to give 1 of our truck drivers a week off the last several years and harvest was rolling too good to leave a truck sitting still for a week but his kids aren't grown yet he needs the time to make memories when he can and he runs the wheels off the truck making us both good money so a week paid before being gone for 2 months I have to give him that we start on the Southern border and go up the Midwest to the Northern border he leaves to TX when we get back to KS I give him a week and I jump in and when he comes back I start cutting my own farm if it's ready as they head North with the new equipment
@@davidwoermansr I am aware of that and I hope you got some good rest as well.
@@DonAshcraft I always get my 4-6 hrs a night then either work hard or play hard
Seeing all the vehicles hooked together like a bunch of horses and pulling that huge rig out was cool. Now I know why you need the worlds largest off road recovery vehicle.
Hey guys, hope that tool kit has a claw hammer in it 🤣 greetings from the UK
I was over in Utah camping at toquerville falls this past weekend and I decided to cruise by the shop to pick up some shirts and man it was so cool getting a tour of the shop. Page gave us a nice tour and we got to meet lady standing on top of the big wreckers tire. You guys rock man. I’m so happy to have stumble upon this channel when it first started and now watching it grow is unbelievable. Next time I come by I hope to meet the rest of the crew and hopefully I can give Ed a big hug
Holly is so nice!!!
That's exactly the type of rig we pulled from the mud with my Toyota FJ and its Warn winch. We were anchored by a Dodge pickup. Slow and steady pull. A steady diet of Matt's Offroad Recovery videos!
Omg! That's a job for the Heavy Wrecker! 🙂
I have noticed that the "Heavy" isn't a priority. Play before work seems to be the way Matt works.
@@jamesbroome1815 But also work while you play.. lol
That huge rig was so expensive, ive never seen one like it. Dude is a BALLER
In the old days Matt would have pulled that out with only the Banana!!
"you haven't pulled us out, we don't make that mistake" very bold statement. Can't wait until they need recovered.
That tool kit better have a claw hammer in it for Matt!
Reminds me of HET recoveries in Iraq. Some of the civilian lowboys would get stuck in the dust. Then the military HETs would get stuck in the mud thinking they wouldn't. Our Hemtt would easily pull most things out of anything, but the HETs sometimes took two Hemtts to pull them out.
Good lord, what did he have in that motor home?? Really impressive how you all popped it out of there relatively easy.
Lots of fat girls?
Those things are insane, like a full apartment, multiple slide outs, washer and dryer, dishwasher...
GREAT GREAT JOB GUYS on getting that monster out👍👍👍👍👍
It's official - now it's Matt's Heavy Off Road Recovery.
Heavy M Wetzel Recoveries.
Matt!! that was absolutely awesome pull. I didn't think you guys had enough steel there. You should have asked that guy for a tour of his rig at the end,!!!!
Cheers from Ontario Canada
Earl!
Well done guys. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Holly is correct, there's plenty of time for rest when were pushing up daisies. ☝️🙏
Robby is proof of that. I’m pretty sure he never sleeps 😂
Really fun to watch guys! The car knowledge and knowing how to free a huge rig like that is really cool. You guys have all the best toys!
I don't know why, but I'm hooked on your videos. I'm amazed at all the crazy ways people get stuck. I do drive a 99 XJ but am too old and too broke to risk breaking it. Am looking forward to seeing your super tow vehicle complete and in action.
Wow. What a beautiful truck. I wish I made better decisions throughout my life so that I could afford something like that. LOL
People who buy these are full time. Think of it as your yacht. Mine is on order
@@Pro4Sound - I know a few that have them for nothing more than weekend football tailgating. True for 2 of my good friends.
Nice to see Rhett taking centre stage on these couple jobs, be cool to see him lead a job sometime soon he certainly has the knowledge.
You’ll get em out 👍🏽
Oh my God, the drama! I can't handle it.
If that truck has diff locks they are super easy to recover. I used to drive road trains that can be up to 120 tonnes and as long as the trailers aren't sunk you can tow them with 1 4x4
You guys always make my day. keep up the good work 👏. Making the world better one pull at a time.
Never ceases to amaze me how many people don't know to air down in the sand, or keep their overheated engines running so they can cool down.
Rory learned his lesson after last time 😆
What a great group you have put together Matt. I really enjoy your humor and the way you knit your vids together. You all do a great job!!
Thank you! Jim.
Great work you guys. I bet however that with all of your resources and know how that you could build Holy a pretty badass bumper for her jeep. Keep it up !!
Holly wants exactly the same bumper. As she said on her channel, MM’s bumper is for looks and rock crawling, not towing. This is the second bumper she has ruined trying to tow. I believe when Matt adds the reinforcement to the back of her new bumper it will be strong enough for towing.
Holly really likes that particular bumper so hopefully when Matt revisits how it was reinforced the last time it bent he'll come up with a 2.0 version that will hold up better. My thought is a frame mounted "Hidden Hitch" type receiver that ends basically flush with the bumper exactly where the current recovery point is located with a neatly cut square hole for the draw bar to pass through. Put the same eye on the end of the draw bar and paint the end of the receiver along with the draw bar to match the bumper. Keep them independent without welding the receiver to the bumper so the bumper can still be easily removed without having to cut it away from the receiver. Harbor Freight probably has the receiver and draw bar needed for this on the shelf in their local store.
Makes me wish I was local and in a position to drop in to lend a hand on this.
@@neilfromclearwaterfl81 You're on the right track, I think, with the frame-mounted "Hidden Hitch" idea, but I think it's gotta get outta the middle; too much lateral stiffening (pronounced "added weight") required make it beefy enough to never bend again. Instead, fab up TWO hitch points tied right into the frame rails on each side, with simple, square pass-thru holes in the bumper itself. Towing, pulling, recovery forces would be transferred directly to the frame, and having two hard points would enable more and different recovery plans that would benefit not only Holly, but anybody she ended up helping out on the trails.
ALL you guys are one in a million . And that Lizzie... That gal is one in a billion
Nice bit of variety on this one.. keep up the great work guys 👍🏻👍🏻
60'000LBS PULL WAS GREAT .. THE POWER IN THOSE VEHICLES WAS AWSOME.....
It's gonna be epic!!
That's what's called a $4,000 tow bill. Local heavy tow companies wouldn't even consider doing that. Wrecker time is massive expensive for heavy duty wreckers.
Friend was towed from Kanab, Utah was over $1,500 just for his truck plus had to have his fifth wheel towed also. Big bucks equals big trucks.

That's why people call Matt. Recovery jobs are free at Sand Hollow, especially when his services are part of the event.
As Holly says, you can sleep later on in life.
However, I think that's called death.
😂😈
@@MischiefMakerTV cool. I just subscribed to your channel
That should be one event at the Tow Truck Olympics! ❤️👍👍👍👍👍😎
Pulling the motorhome reminded me of when my brother and I helped pull out my niece's husband with our F250's. Hes was stuck in about two feet of snow and mud, and we were basically on ice from where we were pulling. He had a full load and was just under 80,0000 lbs. Honestly couldn't believe with how little traction we had that we pulled him out.
This turned into a recoveryathon for Matt.
Matt super humble about how awesome and badass his movair is making one of the best if not the best off road vehicle ever made by hand.
It would be a lot easier and just as interesting to call Casey to bring his 5 ton!
Except Matt and Casey don't get along anymore..
You guys are God sent, It would be over 2k for them to get a Semi wrecker down there to pull them out, and no telling how long they would have to wait.
Why didn't you ask Casey to help with the 5ton or nodwell??
Matt and Casey aren't friends anymore
@@JohnFL what happened
@@derekmorris2045 A while back Matt said that Casey had privacy issues with being on the channel. More recently he commented that there's a reason Casey works alone. I don't want to speculate about things like this that I don't know much about.
