Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
A recovery is like a box of chocolates. Ya never know what you're gonna get!
lots of NUTS! sometimes
That was a hard nut but they got it 👍
Run Forest run👍
My name is Forrest. Forrest Gump. 🤣
You guys make this look so Easy haha I think I need to Go on another roller coaster ride with you guys soon!!!
How come y'all ain't verified :(
it's actually more fun, you can get hurt
Robby riding on the trailer, and for the thumbnail, you may have invented a new form of offroad vehicular rodeo!
See you aren't all work and no play!
Robby, hope you hit the LIKE. So many views and only 10% average hit like. Laziness!
Watching that trailer dragging over rocks is like fingernails on a chalkboard!
Another great recovery vid and with Robby too!
I can’t get over how Rudy’s jeep seems too have enough power too turn those big wheels! And the crew just knows what needs done! And it’s always nice too see ed
Its called gearing…
Can’t wait to see how the wrecker turns out ! Love y’all’s content!
Gonna be dope
I liked Matt's concept in his head... half-track wrecker, now that would cover a lot of bases :D
Bro,if you see this...That's the reason I'm jumping on this comment to start with...You should build a set of wheels that fold down on either side of the very back of the trailer that will drop down from the frame that will lock in place about an inch off of the ground when lowered..This will prevent the back of the trailer from dragging when the main axles lift off of the ground due to the terrain....That's what I did and they work great...I actually put a third axle that swings up and down and locks in place either up or down on my ATV trailer..The rear tires are actually a little shorter than the main two axles tires are...Which is basically a 16 ft all steel car trailer that's been converted.
EDIT: I also used a piece of 1/4 inch steel as a rock slider/skid plate for the back behind the main rear axle wheels and on the front frame of the trailer where the tongue and all are for when the trucks going up but the trailers still at the bottom of a groove going down.
U can be sure of one thing it's going to be mean
Poor trailer, poor Rudicon and poor Morrvair all got beaten to within inches of their breaking points. It never ceases to amaze me how well your team knows where that line is, and straddles it with precision and confidence
That's why Matt likes to over-engineer things he fabricates.
I don't think you give the Morrvair or the Rudicon enough credit...they didn't take any beating
@@MarcusAurileus maybe, but they where certainly used well outside of a normal vehicles parameters, I never meant that the MORR team beats and abuses their vehicles recklessly, but rather stating that they know how to walk the line very well woth what they have built
@Dan Brooks well, don't think you have noticed that neither vehicle are normal and both machines handled the terrain quite easily. This job was babying them a bit and they have had a lot worse.
"Outside of normal vehicle parameters"...lol. FAR from it!!
@@MarcusAurileus you seem like the type of person that would argue will a tree stump. Lol
This right here is a testament to Rudy's welding skills. Impressive! Also impressive is how that trailer survived. Normally we drop off a piece of equipment (backhoe, small excavator) with a trailer like that, and then drive the machines in to the site. Can't wait to see the off-road wrecker one day.
It is amazing how you can get broken-down vehicles out of the most impossible places, but you always do it! Good work, and yes, migod, your poor trailer took a beating!
Most impressive recovery to date. Using Rudy's jeep as a crane to keep the busted missing wheel from scraping was impressive.
so true
I still think the side of the Hill Chevy that got me here and to subscribe and watch all this fun is the best. I’d say this is tied with it for ingenuity and perseverance. Although when you are deep in the middle of nowhere you have to stick to your guns and keep on it. This whole crew is wholesome goodness…
I was thinking it would have been a good time to have a snow plow lift on the front, they could fab up a short jib boom for it.
@@kevinstenger4334 nobody gives a shit
I was in Utah over President's Day weekend on a MTB trip and stopped in to buy a hat (on a Saturday afternoon.) The crew was out but Ryker (sp?) at the front desk gave us a tour of the shop and the yard. Got to meet the two doggie's (Howdy Max and Lady!) and got to see the Banana, the 1/2 dun Rudicon and Mischief Maker up close. Pretty cool! This particular white Jeep was on the trailer in the yard and I was wondering when the video of the recovery was gonna drop!
😊😊😊
To the owner of the Rubicon,
Thank you for your service and Welcome Home! 🇺🇸
I never cease to be amazed at the care you take, to not make your customers self inflicted injuries worse.
Judging by the trail badges on that white Rubi this off road vet got every last dime out of that front knuckle plus an Epic MORR video! Worth every dime.
I think you used almost every trick in the book to get this Jeep out!! 😂
Great job!!!!
Rudicon looks and sounds amazing! ❤️🐞
0 head scratching too! Rolling with each problem as it presented itself.
That gentleman’s jeep actually looks like it see’s some pretty decent use. Interior looks sophisticated yet setup for someone who is specifically using it frequently.
Ya that rig was built !!
He’s got 13 Jeep Badge of honor trail emblems on there, pretty impressive on a JL
He said he was “new at this”
@@sandrakramer1520 that was Robby who said that. the client said 'its a diesel"
What a great recovery & teamwork! Sorry for the Jeep damage but glad to see the gentleman out on the trails putting it to the test. Even with the tow back to town knowing his Jeep was damaged he was still enjoying the off road life!! 👍 Vietnam cap - Thank you for your service to our Country sir!
Glad to see Ed on some calls again, he’s been absent on the last few
I hope the wrecker is able to do everything you want and more. It seems that you have quite the challenge to balance its size and weight while still having it able to do the job. Best of luck!
It's going to be way heavy, but as Matt said with the super large tires it will have less pounds per sq inch of footprint.
"Zoe The Robot" is excited to watch more of Matt's wrecker build. Will Matt add a cab from an existing truck, or build a "pipe buggy" cab from scratch? What engine will he put in this rig. Can't wait to see.
@@thomasmaiden3356 Probably build a cab like the snowcat. Corvair van would be cool. Me I would stretch an army gmc 2.5 ton 6x6.
@@totallyjonesin that's really interesting
Matt’s so cool & confident. Getting pulled up the hill thru the soft sand by the Rudi-con & he’s driving one handed while his left elbow is nonchalantly resting on the window sill of the Mighty MorrVair!💪🏼
Wow, that was quite the recovery! Trevor shaking his head at the damage to the trailer at the end was classic!
So cool seeing Robby along for the job! The MORR crew once again showing the true meaning of Off Road Recovery.
It would have go a lot easier if Robby didn't ave the Jeep hand brake on!
"Impossible " recovery jobs just challenge the team a bit more than usual. Great job.
Trevor shaking his head at the end - wanted him to be yelling "Rudy".... Thanks for the upload
This was the best episode of anything I've watched on TV in recent memory. Amazing job. That was awesome. Please don't stop putting out content, I love you guys.
Just love how everyone gets along so well getting the job done and enjoying it at the same time..stay safe from Québec canada..
Love lizzys positive attitude. Love the show! You guys rock!
Ingenious maneuvering with that trailer. That was a textbook lesson in improvisation using all the at hand tools that worked. Wouldn't have been able to do it with the old Rudy Jeep. The Rudicon is earning its beans. Great Morvair and Rudicon collaboration. Poor trailer took the brunt of it though. That woulda been impossible with lessor rigs.
I’m watching this in 2024. Your off-road wrecker is awesome.
Mad props to the guy who fought in Vietnam. Thanks for your service. My dad also fought in Vietnam and is currently buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Again thanks for your service.
I'd love to see someone build a trailer with a couple of electric motors just to help with the silly stuff. Like one motor on each wheel, some simple controls similar to a winch and some long leads so someone can walk along and control the trailer propulsion.
One of the best videos yet! Love Ed, Robby and the whole gang, plus the coolest customer too. I don’t know what you charge, but you earned every penny.
Your NEVER lost... Your simply on an extended reconnaissance mission... Scouts-Out!
Robby: This feels like a really bad roller coaster!
Theo: Way better though because you could actually get hurt!
🤣
Quote of the week!
Yeah that was accurate😄
Great to see this old veteran out enjoying his retirement , still having adventures and busting up his nice Rubicon!
Yea but money over brains with that 60k jeep plus 20k of add ons and he broke it only because he doesn't know how to offroad. Nowadays with youtube & websites he should of spent a few days researching how to offroad and what not to do. #1 had front locker off, #2 allowed front axle to hop (he had said both of these) and #3 (unconfirmed but likely) had the wheel at a high degree of angle. With stock axles/etc it is a big no-no to do #2 OR #3 at WOT either will cause this problem of broken axle or knuckle or similar part. Heck even over built cars you can but should avoid doing this - axle hop and you should stop and re-plan your line and if you need WOT and dont have axle hope you have to reduce max power depending the angle of your wheels (slight turn maybe 80% of WOT, if you have the wheels fully turn then maybe 30% of WOT. So I find it dumb to do this since he is 'new' as he said and didn't do basic research. However he did say he had a diesel which there might not be a ton of info that explains since they make power so low in the rpm range (tq not hp) you have to even be more careful of axle hope and turning to power level. Either way, end of the day he has money and isn't worried about stuff like that which means he can afford not to care or do research which I can respect.
@@JohnAdams-qc2ju Prolly right on all that but he in a way helped make a hell of a video to watch lol
@@JohnAdams-qc2ju Don't those front Dana 44 axles still use the Dana 30 outer shafts? If so, it's not really strong enough for the big tires people are putting on these Jeeps......unless they are only mall crawling.
Mind you could argue that that front suspension isn't tough enough for what they sell as an off-road capable truck.
@@JohnAdams-qc2ju
We all probably look at these videos and initially think "man, look at that expensive truck, getting stuck in the mud/snow , or busting something. Then getting bailed out by MORR in a couple of built-up old rigs. Dumbases" ,.........but the reality is that these folks are out there doing it and living a great life. And we're sitting watching it at home on UA-cam. They might not have the experience or technical knowledge that a lot of commenters do ( by the sounds of it you are very knowledgeable about the subject , which I respect ) , but they are out there doing something , and learning from their mistakes. This guy might maybe get a different vehicle next time, or do some research before doing a similar thing again. Think it's a bit unfair to call it money over brains.... you can spend your whole life researching stuff online.....or you can get out there and do it , mess up , and have fun.
I always resect these folks who have to make the call for a rescue. At least they were out there pushing the envelope. 💪
Let's get that wrecker done. I love watching the builds as much as the recoverys. This is great content.
One of the best rescues I’ve seen
This really shows why Matt wants a wrecker. These jeeps are set up to recover running vehicles that need a bit of help getting unstuck or through terrain, not to pull or trailer out complete dead weight. Hopefully Matt's worked out the ground pressure right or that thing'll just sink.
Have you ever thought about modifying a Collins Dolly for jobs like this. It would be easier to get into areas like this, and if you fit it with good ATV tires, it might be a more capable solution then a standard trailer with horrible entry and departure angles. It might need some heavy modification but I don't think your team wouldn't have any issues with that.
He had a normal car dolly he was gonna trick out, but that got obliterated by an oncoming car. That was when he built the small trailer I think. Same idea though.
@@clownrock9558 Whoa. I missed that video (or more likely the video where they talk about it)
@@3xceIIent I wasn't able to find it skimming through threw the old vidoes but I am pretty sure it was before he built the new SxS trailer (so 2+years ago). He had a video where he was talking about putting bigger wheels on it ect and then an oncoming driver split it in half.
@@clownrock9558 now that you mention it it dies seem to ring a bell but that's about it.
that looked like a repair in place type of job. That was one really tricked out Rubi, I hope that knuckle had a lifetime warranty!!! Can't wait for the next wrecker fabrication vid.
Some people call it work other call it having fun. If you enjoy what your doing, you never work a day in your life. This saying epitomizes MORR. Thats why it is so enjoyable to watch.
Now that's a great definition of "Family Affair". When you have family and friends, one can go places. Well played
Listening to the trailer scraping over all those rocks was pretty rough. Since the wrecker is a work in progress, ever consider upgrading the trailer suspension and putting taller tires on it for more ground clearance? Obviously it would require some modifications on the trailer too unless you just want to wait for the wrecker. That was one heck of a recovery with lots of finesse to manipulate it out of there, but it worked, you got 'em out. Really good video coverage to this recovery also.
Wonder what airbags would be like for the trailer? Do you think one could get enough extra height to help?
One amazing recovery! These new wranglers are basically junk! All those extra gadgets and still break. You guys need that off road wrecker ASAP!
Hey Matt I am a 70 year old fabricator and a suggestion I have to help save your trailer we did in the past was put 6 inch steel caster wheels welded on the end of the trailer which allows it to roll over instead of being dragged .Hope that will help you.
The wrecker is gonna look crazy definitely excited to see the build along with the rudicon getting its facelift too
It's so wholesome that no one allows their ego to get in the way at all. Robby, "I don't know what I'm doing 🤷"
Matt, "I'll walk you through it."
So glad this isn't "reality TV." Les Stroud from Survivorman has said he was always battling with producers because they wanted to manufacture drama. He said that survival itself creates more than enough drama so there's no need to add in any fake junk. I feel like this is exactly the same. Epic recoveries provide all the drama we need!
Matt and his crew are BADASSES for the unconventional ways they get stuff done!!! Love the videos
So glad to see Max. He and Lady have big fans here in Spain!
Ready to see the 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, and complete Rudicon!
You guys are brilliant, using all the tricks and overcoming any obstacle put in your path.
Congrats on an impossible recovery.
Thanks for sharing.
I love the how they use a normal hitch. Lots of special off-road hitches out there I feel these videos prove they are not needed.
I've been watching your post for a while, I'm not one to join but here I am and commenting, Matt, your family are the best, I can't wait to see your off road wrecker build
I've seen so many people break when they start bouncing on sandstone. I used to have a 95 grandcherokee with 33's and ARB lockers front and rear I walked up bump dump so another dude with a grandcherokee with no front locker thought he could do it started bouncing and snapped the rear axle it sat there for two days. I've seen it break many U joints but nothing like this.
Never ceases to amaze me how good you guys are at doing this,top job!
That was a crazy recovery that trailer took a beatin. So sorry to see that happen to your trailer.
I absolutely love your videos! I got a ford excursion last summer with a 6in lift and 38s and now I’m looking forward to finding trails up here in Quebec. I watched a ton of your videos and who knows maybe this knowledge is gonna come in handy some day:) keep it up! 🤘
Wow, the trailer REALLY took a beating this time! The off-road wrecker makes complete sense after watching this. I remember another one that was pretty bad, with a broken Razr in a really rocky place, and you had a heck of a time then too, but I don't think it took nearly as bad of a beating (though after writing that, seems like that was a different, shorter trailer.)
Hell of a recovery. Great job! With or without a wrecker I think you shold add an off road trailer to your arsenal. One with over sized off road tires, that sits high above the ground and a couple of winches on it. With ramps that fold up, so it won't hit everything when you're heading out.
Gotta watch a high C of G though, theres a bit of a trade off so it doesn't roll over too easy when loaded. He's got to get through that tunnel as well.
There is a trade-off with this as well. A taller trailer with longer ramps is likely going to be a bit wider and longer which can make manoeuvring it more difficult. And it also will be a bit heavier; seeing how much they struggled getting up that hill, extra weight is a factor they have to consider.
I know this was a year ago, and listening to Matt yearning for the day when the Wrecker could be used. It’s like being from the future and watching. Great recovery Matt. Loved see Lizzy again. Miss her on this channel. Great job as second recovery vehicle Rudy.🤙😎
Your team always impressed me. I can't wait for the wrecker to be finished and I'm sure ya'll are looking forward to it too.
Amazing how Matt know so many tricks to get Er done an we’ll get em out. Love a show explaining what is in Rudy’s jeep, drive lines, diffs, wheels sizes, lockers Ect. Been looking on line for a jeep cherokee myself. I don’t care about the motor I’ll get a stroker.
Love to watch Matt's off recovery,the team are awesome , thanks for making the video interesting . God bless you all
Matt and Rudy's jeeps are the only jeeps I haven't seen the front wheels fall off
Nice job Matt and crew.
To the customer: THANK YOU brother, for your service to our great country.
Let's hear it for the owner whom despite his years is still out there hitting the trails. Good on ya buddy!
I ran into that gentleman in quartzsite last year. Great guy. Had a hell of a time keeping up with him in a rzr 900xp!
Love when Ed makes an appearance, no one covers the weather as well as Ed can. Still fully love as much as he is involved in these videos he never watches them and is completely oblivious to his Golden Nugget and Rokon getting fixed up. I’ve always wanted a Rokon!
Seeing that loose wheel roll down brought back memories from years ago. Working at an apple packing shed. Off season. Next to a busy road, My truck was parked inside the warehouse. A truck driving past had a dually wheel sheer off. It spun straight through the warehouse door and crunched my truck. 1 in a million.....
hi lizzy,my name is rick.i use to play semi pro volley ball for high desert heat in hi desert of so calif.8 yrs. loved every min.traveled up and down the west coast,alot of beachball and jungle ball.keep it up,go pro and rodeo.all together i played 14 years,worth every minute.luvu guys
Seems like a lot of newish jeeps break on the trails out there.
Love the videos. More of the wrecker build please.
Some difficult stretch’s on that trail, with a lot a weight. The morvair is a beast! Great content! “Robbie hold your breath” 😂😂😂 | Looking forward to see the new wrecker! 👍😁😷
You own the book on this Matt!It keeps getting better and better!
The sand falling off the trailer at 14:41 was so satisfying 😂 reminds me of how water would look gushing off of the trailer
Never thought I'd find myself feeling sorry for a trailer.
I know right, I found myself wincing as it got beat up!
that was a really technical recovery…well done everyone!
Awesome job getting that Rubicon on the trailer guys 👍 awkward spot and you made it look simple
Simply amazing, what you guys do with little or nothing blows my mind.
MORR-Best thing going on UA-cam. Genuine and great people involved! Robby too.. You all sure seem to work well together even though some situations would have to test the patience. Thanks for putting together a quality channel.
Yes I can see how the new wrecker would be great here! Put a power output on it then you can have a four wheel drive trailer connected (next project!). Nice recover though. Slow and steady = safe 👍🏼
just found your channel! been off roading for years! so i was immediately drawn to it! this is great! better than anything on television! you guys are great 👍
Another Great job guys, a bit tough on the old trailer, but I also like how cool the customer was & enjoyed the experience (after all, that's what life is about. Good on him!)
I sometimes can’t believe how you guys are able to manage all that you do it’s so entertaining to watch you are all golden as the nugget and are awesome people, keep it up!!👍👍🤟
Yep, that's the stuff you need a wrecker for. The one I rescued off Johns trail was a white one too. Bad trail for white Jeeps?
Seems like a lot of Jeeps biting the dust lately.
They need a big ol chopper!! Matts air lift and recovery.....
Hey, I got a white one and a black one. I like to cover all the bases. (The green one is getting stripped of all its good parts)
White is a shit colour, bad enough on a vehicle but why do women think it's a good colour for carpets and furniture 🤔
If more people keep buying those Milestar Patagonia's they're gonna have more breakage cause those tires hook up like a drag slick after a 20' burn out!!!
Matt your wrecker should have a boom on it so you can just lift the vehicle and swivel it over to the back. What about modifying the frame of the trailer so it has 35" and air ride so you can raise and lower it as needed?
Modified car dolly trailer.
Large ground clearance.
I recovered a large K5 Blazer that had snapped the same knuckle.
It was a three-legged dog.
Older gentleman that helped me recover it stopped at home Depot picked up large lag bolts.
And made a sled out of a railroad cross tie.. we had holes drilled in it and had chain points chained it under the suspension and pulled it out
Spent less than $20 to make this sled.
We also had the Blazer to help with part of the work.
It didn't turn worth a crap but that's how we kept changing the pull angles on the chain to overcome that.
I remember a corvair pickup truck being pulled into the yard during the morrvair build. I wonder if that's going to be the wrecker body
Probably the fastest Robby has EVER 4 wheeled backwards out of his control!
Wonder how many times he was sitting there stamping on the brake pedal LOL
I love watching these guys work. This video is particularly impressive with how closely this team accomplished the incredibly technical work. Well done!
This is one of the craziest recoveries that I've see you guys do. My hat is off to you guys...you always get em out!
notification squad, Have a nice weekend guys!🔥🔥🔥
Have a great weekend man👍
Have a good weekend be safe
I knew you could do it, you'd never post a video of failure 🤣😜 Oh I forgot that Matts crew NEVER fails 💪
They actually made videos specifically documenting the fails lol.
@@davidchristensen2970 Oh cool, I missed that one. I'm kinda new to the channel 👍
@@vladimpaler9274 kinda figured that was the case, this is a really fun group to watch 😎
Wow. That was a J O B !!! But y'all got him out.....way to go! And still had fun. That's why we love ya!!
Fantastic episode with super Team efforts.. So happy to see another Viet Veteran out and about enjoying life...Cheers all...Luv ya work "Fun"
I thought pulling the trailer up those ledges was going to be the craziest thing I was going to see in this video until I saw NASA's mission control stuffed into the interior of the jeep being recovered.
For off-road mapping apps like Maprika or OnX, a tablet is essential. Jeep would do well to partner with one to offer a UConnect version (if they don't already) for Jeeps with built in screens, but even then a tablet is more flexible. I need to get a good mount for my 97 Wrangler, having it flop around on the passenger seat is not ideal...
Yall ever think about putting on an articulating hitch like a Lock N Load, and larger tires on the trailer? That may help while the wrecker is being built.
Its lock and roll, and they suck. That's also not their normal offroad trailer.
@@dvanbramer88 Why do they suck?
Trevor's trailer assessment...
Priceless 😅
Getting the truck on the trailer was impressive. Lots of coordination innvolved there.
That Jeep has at least 20K of add ons and still came apart…🤦♂️🤦♂️
Awesome rescue, using quite a few tricks and methods to make it happen. Considering how hard this one was, I wonder if there is a market for an off-road mechanic who can fix off-roaders in the field and they can just drive back out.
Rory with Trail Mater does off road welding repairs, but that axle was too far gone.
Thanks for a nother awesome video Matt and the crew and I would like to say something to the guy that you went out to get Thanks for is service .
the content on this channel is some of the most entertaining. because of this channel i knew how to get my bosses equinox that he buried the tires about 8 inches deep out of a muddy field yesterday.
