Well this customer read "suburban" on his car so thought of wide asphalt, white picket fences, freshly mowed lawns, spacious family homes, and giant rocks in a sandy desert.
That would be an opportune time to change the oil and grease the front of the suburban. I knew a logger that rolled his skidder once. First thing he did was start greasing the parts he had trouble reaching when it was up on it's wheels.
Wow so impressive 👏 Didn't think you could get them out, that's the most stuck i have ever seen anyone, amazing the great knowledge and experience, the only team that could of possibly done it.👍
Four years now with the same schedule. Wednesday and Friday are recovery videos. Sunday is shop build. Three videos a week, every week. Thanks for watching!
“Oblique Steering. A steering mode where all wheels may move in the same direction, allowing the machine to move sideways on a diagonal; also known as crab steering.“
Everybody loves to pilot The Wrecker! Except Jefe, he thinks it wants to wreck him. 😮 Matt should help Jefe overcome his worries by sitting him behind the wheel until he loves this beautiful monster like everyone else does. 😊
Might I make a suggestion, with some clever wiring and maybe swapping out the switches for some double pole / double throw switches, you could add a function to the momentary "rear steer hold" switch. As it stands now, it only turns auto centre off. The toggle switch on the dash ALSO turns it off. But that dash toggle switch COULD change the function of the momentary trigger from "turn auto steer off" to "turn auto steer on". Practically, the system would function like it already does, except when auto steer is toggled off on the dash, that momentary switch could be pressed to temporarily engage auto centre. The most basic way is to use switches with two positions (on and off) but with three connections, common, normally open and normally closed. Connect power to the common of one switch, the auto centre power to the common of the other switch and then connect the normally open and normally closed of both switches together.
I’m trying to imagine the scenario where this would be beneficial. Virtually 100% of the time, when you are ready for it to return to center, you are done with the maneuver.
"I love to drive the wrecker" said no woman ever.... except Jamie. Jamie is amazing. This whole crew is amazing. I have learned so much from this channel.
Rear steer reminds me of my B52 days. When you landed with a cross wind all you could see was center sod between the runway and taxiway but were headed straight down center line of the runway.
It was so good to see you two together having a nice day and I loved seeing how you have become a very competent driver, Jamie. Congratulations! I also love the way Matt is a natural born teacher. Your positive, encouraging, and laid-back way with your family, your team and your real local community and then us your you tube it is really fun to watch and educational almost all of the time. Well done, Matt! And a big thank you to all of you. I just really enjoy seeing how well you seem to juggle family, work your local community and people like me your UA-cam family. community. You have inspired me. The first you tube I ever watched; you caught me! It may have been your first Prius video from a couple of years ago. I You took your Prius where??? I felt for the woman, but she seemed kind of clueless. You basically had to build her a rock path and although I am very different from her. i.e., I would have been collecting the rocks and helping and learning from you, But.... though I thought that about her, and I had judged her, the ironic part was I was guilty of doing the same thing really, just my own version. difference And I thought, no one knows I am out here, I am totally at risk for some car misadventure and the worst part is I am a 68 year old and I have a husband in hospice (which is why I have to go to remote places with Just Jarvis my dog) Yes I am traveling with a 95 pound , reactive but sweet hearted dog and I had such a humbling moment. Because I live in New Mexico. And even though I know that you came through Santa Fe to get to Espanola to do a job, there is no local or regional, off-road recovery here at all that I can tell. Do you know anything different? Boy I would have been so excited seeing you rolling by, but the reality is, I could never afford you to come save me. So, I came off that pensive trip where I knew that I had been VERY foolish and saw my first Matts Off Road video and got inspired again. Sold my car. Just for the record I am sometimes guilty of over confidence in myself, which is about the entire content of the people that you recover . Just saying.... Anyway, I now have a 1993 Mitsubishi Delica 4x4 diesel standard micro camper right hand drive, which I love for a variety of reasons, but it's really the wrong car for someone who doesn't know how to fix it. I have absolutely no business owning something so specialized, but I have a sentimental attachment. It. reminds me of family camping trips in the Western Australia's outback. Parts of the Kimberly range would remind you of Utah by the way, I still want to take it out on a few safer but off road semi remote trips before I get something that stops worrying my friends and family. I would love to drive some of the area around you and I would love to come by and show off my unique and cute Dela Cruise....the Delica, I think you might appreciate it. And any suggestions you might have about camping, in places that make sense, so I don't ever need to be recovered, would be appreciated. I don't have any travel plans just yet, but I am planning to drive to Washington at some point and I would love to be able to have even a quick hello. Is that even a possibility now that you have so many people that want a bit of your time? I understand if the answer is no... but I hope that you may consider it.:) All this to simply say, thank you. What you do is a real service and it's so much more than just rebuilding cars, or recovering vehicles, or even putting on the Games...it's just for being funny, kind and disaffected (a rare thing on UA-cam).! Cheers! Deb Dennison
A friend had a 2003 GMC Denali with the rear steer option, sure came in handy when parking a 26ft race car trailer, The vehicles with the rear steer option have a small light in the rear wheel flares.
I live in a desert area, plenty of off-roading and decent dunes to go but man... people litter so much around here. Our desert is filthy, from cans/bottles to tires to mattresses... I wish people would not do that around here so we could enjoy our desert without worries of destroying our tires
Good people pick up their trash. Really good people pick up trash left by others. They don't judge if the trash bounced or blew out of the rig when you weren't looking or if someone intentionally threw it out on public land.
I think that the wrecker could have done the job of two vehicles using a snatch block with the anchor doing the back pull and a long cable going out to that one the short one keeping the front end from tipping over, strike that, reverse it, to allow wrecker to lift rear of that vehicle
You’re around my age. You watched Thunderbirds, the UK puppet show featuring AWESOME VEHICLES THEY RESCUED PEOPLE WITH. You made it happen in real life. None of your stuff flies, ignore Heavy D you do not need a helicopter, but you have a fleet of vehicles built for the express purpose of helping people. And making some cash, Tony Stark, yo. Real life superhero stuff right here.
I like that Matt: Pick up your trash people!!!! 👍🏻 Should have been: Don't throw your trash on the ground, people! My home driveway is off a highway, and you couldn't believe how much trash I pick up daily/weekly etc! I probably pick up minimum 20 to 30 cigarette butts weekly. If I didn't the ditch & my driveway entry would be a cig butt dump land. UGHHHH!!!! 🤬 Always picking up plastic water bottles, cups & wrappers from fast food, beer bottles, all kinds of crap. Just think, that's only in front of my house and not counting all the other hundreds of thousands of driveways just off the highway. Some people are just trashy themselves, and have no care in what the world will be for future people.
Hey Matt. I have an idea on how to make an attachment for the Wrecker. I know you guys have instances when the vehicle being towed needs to be lifted up and dragged out. And you know that when you do this, you need someone in the disabled vehicle working the brakes to ensure it doesn't rear-end the Wrecker while going over bumps and hills. Is there a good way to send you a 3D image or a diagram for the idea I have? I think it's something you can make yourself and have available for when you need it. And this would eliminate the need to have a person in the disabled vehicle as well.
I was thinking about your tow truck business how you said you basically don't have enough time you could just hire someone to manage that side of things and do the tedious every day stuff and do the towing. just put your hands up and let someone else run it but still keep it.
Sassy bone initiated- “So you had trouble getting it up all the way? Let my lovely wife help you with that. - sassy bone decoupled. Y’all have a nice day now. Ya hear.
How the heck do some folks even manage to get themselves into predicaments like this in the first place? I don't think that Suburban is even 4 wheel drive! Forget what I just said. Now I know!
Somewhat off topic, and I know the wrecker is still a work in progress, but is there ever going to be a center cap on that steering wheel? I was thinking something along the line of a Rolls Royce self aligning wheel center cap, but with the Matt's Offroad logo on it. Not sure if it'll still work at an angle, but just a thought!
does the ground force the wheel out of peoples hands and force them not to steer in right direction or do most now don't know where their wheels are and where they are pointed?
“ I’m thinking of trying it again “. Best customer response for a recovery company. 🤣😎💪❤️
Well this customer read "suburban" on his car so thought of wide asphalt, white picket fences, freshly mowed lawns, spacious family homes, and giant rocks in a sandy desert.
That would be an opportune time to change the oil and grease the front of the suburban.
I knew a logger that rolled his skidder once. First thing he did was start greasing the parts he had trouble reaching when it was up on it's wheels.
Must have been an old Iron Mule otherwise most others can be sat underneath.
I found a vac truck bottoms up in the ditch , the driver was chilling out greasing drive shafts waiting to get rolled back over 😂
That's cuz loggers are SMART
Glad to see man try and conquer the hill the second time. Its always good to see Jamie out with you on recoverys.
"Tank to a knife fight !!! " Sorry Matt I will have to steal that one 😂😂
The tow truck is just idling along and the side by side is all spinning the wheels 😂😂😂 those tires on that tow truck are a beast.
Always figured the WLW carried a Jerry can each of gas and diesel…..but then I figured they always carried Sat phones too!
A hose reeler would be a nice addition to the wrecker for those heavy duty recovery ropes
Love the rear steer demo.
My 3 year old pug zeus Loves when you are winching a car up the noise it makes he sits up and tilts his head side to side.
Wow so impressive 👏
Didn't think you could get them out, that's the most stuck i have ever seen anyone, amazing the great knowledge and experience, the only team that could of possibly done it.👍
It appears MORR
has found its way back to filming recoveries and fewer fabs. OG MORR was recoveries, scenary, music, and dogs. Bravo.
Four years now with the same schedule.
Wednesday and Friday are recovery videos.
Sunday is shop build.
Three videos a week, every week.
Thanks for watching!
The wrecker making everything look easy. Still fun to watch though
I love seeing this truck in particular each video 😅
So badly I feel like it should only be used 😂
Really surprised they didn't just pick up the side by side with the boom because it was so DEEP

Wait thats how people describe me… a large rolling piece of art and not that functional 😂

Thanks so much for explaining and demoing the rear steer.
Now I understand the rear steer ...no more questions about that from me......the coolest and most functional wrecker I have ever seen......
I've been waiting for a nice long piece of footage of it crab walking! Ahhhhhh...so satisfying! I feel much better now. 😁
Thanks for the education on the rear steer
Hey Matt It was nice explaining about the rear steering.
Rear steer reminds me of my B52 days. When you landed with a cross wind all you could see was center sod between the runway and taxiway but were headed straight down center line of the runway.
That rear steer is so cool.
Peanut is such a sweetheart! Matt they have Go Pro camera harness for peanut and we can get so funny footage! 🥜❤️
The wrecker is so awesome!
Go Rhett Go glad your getting wrecker seat time. Matt you need some jump seats for the crew plus some floating fenders
It was so good to see you two together having a nice day and I loved seeing how you have become a very competent driver, Jamie. Congratulations!

the best part off all is that matt picks up the trash thats laying there. good job matt. leave it better then you found it.
Weather looks gorgeous just now
Whoa whoa whoa, Matts in the passenger seat, HE should be doing the weather.

Can't believe your editor didn't toss in the Urkel clip at 9:23!!
Most offroaders don't know how dangerous backing down a hill is. Many times, it ends in a tumble.
You need an auxiliary gas tank on the wrecker. So you can pump gas into vehicles that’s out of gas.
Matt! Where is your TrailMater trash bag?!?!?😂
I want a wrecker of my own, that vehicle is a beast!
Good people pick up their trash. Really good people pick up trash left by others.
They don't judge if the trash bounced or blew out of the rig when you weren't looking or if someone intentionally threw it out on public land.

Just imagine being stuck somewhere and then Godzilla (AKA The Wrecker) hoves into view!!!!!!!
Good demo on the wrecker. What's going on with Lady and Max ? Retired living in Honolulu ? lol
You need a Peanut plush toy for your store!
You’re around my age. You watched Thunderbirds, the UK puppet show featuring AWESOME VEHICLES THEY RESCUED PEOPLE WITH. You made it happen in real life.

I love crab steering. Had trucks in the USAF for flight line.
Matt you have created a work of mechanical art !!! 🖤💛🩶
Have yall thought about making fenders like the Plymouth prowler?? That way they turn and ride with the tires but don’t get in the way
I like that Matt: Pick up your trash people!!!! 👍🏻 Should have been: Don't throw your trash on the ground, people!

Some people are just trashy themselves, and have no care in what the world will be for future people.
Illegal border crossing areas, protest rallies and DNC rally sites are truly disgusting with the amount of trash left behind.
Honestly, kudos to the Suburban guy. If you're going to get stuck, don't mess around.
There was a perfect moment for a Steve Urkle cutscene... "did I do that?!" 😂
I'm so excited to finally see the crab walk!
Nice channel, love the crew! I never hear about compensation, who pays you guys? Are you just "pro bono"?
This video looks alot like Roswell Nm we have flat land offroading 😂 with cattle guards and the occasional sinkhole 😂
Hey Matt. I have an idea on how to make an attachment for the Wrecker. I know you guys have instances when the vehicle being towed needs to be lifted up and dragged out.

And this would eliminate the need to have a person in the disabled vehicle as well.
When the heck are you going to get a headliner in the wrecker? It would help reduce noise, heat, and sure would look more professional.
The passenger seat is the weather seat.
That wrecker is totally awesome.
Hold on a sec . . . I've said this before, haven't I?
Was wondering why ret looked confused then realized it's cuz he's not in the weather seat.
"Pick up your trash people" Thanks for the reminder Matt !
11:45 like using a B52 bomber the crack a peanut 😂
First thing I noticed.........Matt, you are in the weather seat man. 😅
I was thinking about your tow truck business how you said you basically don't have enough time you could just hire someone to manage that side of things and do the tedious every day stuff and do the towing. just put your hands up and let someone else run it but still keep it.
Peanut loves her bath!😊
Sassy bone initiated- “So you had trouble getting it up all the way? Let my lovely wife help you with that. - sassy bone decoupled. Y’all have a nice day now. Ya hear.
Thanks Guys
I just we could see the baja claws on wrecker
Every time I see your lovely wife Jaime I'm reminded of Velma and I guess that makes you Shaggy 😂. Y'all have a blessed day ya hear.
I’m wondering if you will ever put the shovel on the wrecker that I sent you
The first recovery went well once you decided to pull it backwards.
Easy ones ! Thanks for Sharing !
I think the racker just needs more power then it’ll be a true monster
Peanut must have a pretty good life
Have Lizy back for a camio appearance and update us on her life.
Why don't you do anything with fab rats anymore
Would a Honing tool worked on the axle tubes of the Bombi.??
Being sober sure helped get up that hill! 🍻🤙🏽😎
How the heck do some folks even manage to get themselves into predicaments like this in the first place? I don't think that Suburban is even 4 wheel drive! Forget what I just said. Now I know!
**********"Now You Know" ***** (steering) :-)
Looks like the morvair and the banana are side pieces now.
The Banana needs Rear Steer!
When are you just going to buy an m88 you can recover anything!! Just use the 88 to lift the suburban out lol 😂
Matt, overkill is way underrated.
Matt was just wondering when are you gonna start making somewhat a Lil longer videos just curious
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, and try again. 🎉❤
YAY Peanut is being so good
On 2nd suburban hill climb. Why did the drivers door come open part way up?
Please paint the frame on the wrecker! lol
didn’t think you could do that
Peanut sold me fentanyl behind Boot Barn
Was supposed to be an adidas track suit and some loafers.
I like it when you're running the show not your kids
Amazing video bro It is time for you to get a camera for peanut
Peanut is the MVP of the show ❤

Gravity is your friend. You're not pulling that heavy, buried rig uphill. C'mon man 😂😅
@mattsoffroadrecovery Remind me what lockers you are using in the Banana and MORRVair?
Suburbans rule !
The original "SUV"👍
