No need to pull everyone out for free. You deliver a valuable service, and deserve to be fairly compensated for your expertise (greater than virtually everyone else on UA-cam, though equal to Rory) and your investment in your vehicle and gear. You have a family and a future retirement to pay for also. Love your videos, greetings from Australia.
Once on vacation in a Toyota Highander, GPS had me on a gravel road up in the mountains that turned into a 4x4 trail and then petered out to a dry creek bed with jagged rocks all larger than basketballs, drops of almost a foot, and limbs encroaching on both sides. No place to turn around. Didn't want go backwards (due to drops) and was only 1/2 mile from next real road, so kept going until I blew out the passenger front tire on a sharp rock that poked the sidewall. No cell coverage, sun was sun setting, and horrible place to change a tire, so limped about another 1/4" mile on flat where I did a quick change to the spare. In the end, was just an adventure at the cost of a new tire (no damage to the rim), but was looking very grim as bad choices became worse. Learned to never trust the GPS maps and not proceed where cannot back out.
We've had delivery drivers in those full-size transit vans come down our dirt ATV trail following the GPS, or back into a drainage ditch, and had to static pull them out with the tractor. Mostly Amazon, the other companies have capable trucks and better judgment on the driver's part.
he also got a lesson on how to use rocks to keep from getting stuck sometimes when you get into a situation you just got to get out and do a little thinking before you proceed
Kudos for trying to get the load delivered. My concrete driveway is 185' long and 35' high and some of the delivery truck drivers just say undeliverable.
Dont remember which video it was in but wanted to thank you for showing how you cut down a loadlock to use to hold your brakes in the lock position. Made my own today and love it. The only bitch i have about your videos is that there is not enough of them. Thanks for posting and sharing your techniques.
I’m glad you think of the safety of you and your family, you just don’t know what situations could arise, unfortunately we’re in a world of chaos and you are usually out in the boondocks,,,, i live in Ocala, and every time we go to the Ocala forest and anyplace else for that matter I carry also,,,,,, keep safe and keep sending videos!!!!!! Jim
There's another day I was driving and the GPS said to go away and guess what there wasn't even a road there anymore it was an overgrown Forest so because I had to go several miles out of the way to get to where I need to go
Arkansas??!! I wondered why there haven’t been any fresh videos. Best of luck and us in Florida will miss you. And remember, don’t try to run from ASP #pit maneuver
I have literally had an experience like this. I was delivering food in my town and the GPS took me down an access road behind a paper factory. The road went behind their paper waste "pond" . It looked like mud to me so I kept going in my 2wd Ranger, about a foot into this "mud" I realized it was paper waste because it stuck to EVERYthing and it was deep enough is was about 18inches deep. Like I said I thought it was just mud no big deal, well paper waste does NOT come off easy once it dries, to this day I still have globs of it falling off my frame. The paper waste is from those rolls of brown paper towel they use a lot in gas stations. Now I know never to rely 100% on google maps.
So far what I can tell just keeping it simple an using common since gets you around these recovery jobs pretty smooth. The device that U use to stop your truck while winching are they made out of steel. I have a rig I have been building for 8 months now and its a manual I have hydraulic winch in the rear and electric in the front. I will be installing a double line lock for holding but Do you think something like what you have would work for my application. My engine will have to run to use the rear hydraulic winch. Oh love your content. Thank you.
Question?? I have Escalade ESV and I can't find a lift kit to get some off road tires to fit without rubbing. I have 285/45/22 BF Goodrich Trail Terrain TA now.
I’m glad you carry while you and your wife are out in the middle of nowhere helping out complete strangers! Maybe the NRA needs to sponsor your next video!
There's a video of a car being pulled out of a lake because a woman drove straight down the boat landing and into the lake because she was following the GPS. Stuff like that just baffles me, what ever happened to common sense? It's a boat landing into a lake, where did she think she was going, or what did she think the outcome would be from driving straight into the lake?
What model do you have? We used the Zeon platinum and it free spools good The Zeon free spooled awesome The 8274 hi speed one wouldn’t free spool So they just swapped it out so I need to put the new one on It was dropped by delivery guys and bent the shaft so can’t blame warn on that and they warranty it out
@@matt.mckinzie I have a 8274 and a 9500 lb power plant with the compressor, also 2 atv winches(2500lb) and on level ground I can absolutely pull the atv trying to freespool them. The truck winches aren’t much better. Maybe just bad luck
@@saltymofo5870 the 8274 is an absolute beast to pull out We have the axon 5500 sxs winch and if the wind is blowing hard enough it will pull the rope out The zeons free spool like butter as well But I can reach out to warn and see about the 2500lbs being hard That dosnt seem right The 8274 and the one with the compressor Are normal for those style winches
Still think you justly deserve SOME payment, no need to work for free. Equipment, commercial insurance fuel, time, experience, skill... it's all a specialized service. you deserve compensation... you can give discounts or low rates... but you're only hurting yourself giving away a specialized service.... besides... equipment wears out & needs replacing too. know your value. :)
They do We also showed the drivers on how to use it and to check to see what roads were paved and which ones were not So they can find a good route to the homes they are delivering to
About 27 people attempting to do them as far as we know Could be more than that It’s the one negative of social media you have every guy in the state thinking it’s a cool job and wanting to do it
@@matt.mckinzieThanks. You have cool equipment. But your job looked rough. Mud, bugs and all hours. I really appreciate the math and thought you put into a recovery. Thanks for the advice.
So easy to blame GPS, just use a tiny bit of common sense. Remember the office episode where Michael Scott drove into the lake saying the GPS told him to.
We never include a 4 minute commercial in the video ever For a long time we were against all commercials But in order for us to help people at no charge We have to include a commercial here and there You are welcome to skip it Or You can just block us it totally up to you But that 60 second or less commercial pays our bills and allows us to help people without charging them Which helps them in a bad spot Which also helps us get more jobs So we can make more videos for you Right now the job count is low But once we build it back up like we were in Florida There would be 1 commercial to every 20 or so videos
@@matt.mckinzie The day I sent the comment, I tried to watch this video, and there was a 4 minute, 12 second commercial before the video. It would not allow me to fast forward, and there was no option to skip it. I can understand a 1 minute ad, but not more than that.

Happens more then you know
That looks like a fun trail if you're not in a rental box truck!
It’s still fun if it’s not rented in your name.
NOT a rock bouncer!!🥴🙄🚫🤭
It does say enterprise on the truck and the driver did explore strange new worlds and boldly go where where no man has gone before! 🤔
You have to admire their determination to deliver a package!!
My question is what kind of package are they trying to deliver?
What kind of package was he trying to deliver… lol

Off Road Recovery AND Road Building👍👍
The worst part about calling for a recovery is being put on Utube and have to relive my dumbassness
nice to see you still on the road helping out when you can.
Welcome to FFB Arkansas where we literally have city owned ATV & SXS Trails.... saw yall at the Caseys in Clinton the other day glad yall are here
So glad everything was blurred, definitely didn't see that usdot # at 2:42 :)

my GPS once had me on a dirt access road across the middle of some farmers wheat field
The only 4x4 box trucks are the ones used by Enterprise Penske and Uhaul. 😂😂😂 you can take em anywhere. No sweat
Keep up with the good work love watching you on UA-cam God bless
Hey Matt !! Crazy for sure to be out there with a rental !!! Good to see that you are doing well in your ""NEW"" area for work & Play !! 😂🙂🙃😉😊🤠😎👍👍👍👍👍

In florida we both carry in case of the 🤡 that needs a safe space
Here we both carry in case of wolfs, bears, and snakes
Good thing you stayed with!
I'm glad you moved to Arkansas . I really enjoy watching your recovery skills .
That looked like amazing ppl bro why free Amazon has money make em pay

miss u down here in j'ville. i see u still have ur fl tag. we needed u out at hugenot last weekend. capt frank here.
We still get calls for there every weekend
YOU have Got to be KIDDING me!! Great work!
AFS. Another Ford Stuck!! Just made my day. I'd say that was one of your easiest ever. Great job!!
He still has FL plates let’s hope he comes back to FL and this is just his summer house he is setting up .
The GPS is always right!
Quick and easy pull out! It was nice of you to follow him out. BTW, S&W M&P or Glock? Couldn't quite tell...
Now it's considered an improved trail.. Definitely shouldn't be on a GPS route..
Thanks Matt!
Question?? I have Escalade ESV and I can't find a lift kit to get some off road tires to fit without rubbing. I have 285/45/22 BF Goodrich Trail Terrain TA now.
What year? There is nice McGaughys 7 inch lift kit for ESV. But you really want to go off roading with that?
The GPS powers-that-be should tighten up their lines. If I let my new truck auto choose the speed limit, I speed up to 55 in a school zone.
Self driving cars are going to be a menace.
Go into Google Maps and report the road as a problem.
@@gvsukids Done that. They are too big to care. Gotta look out for yourself, and others!
Your rigging skills are 🔥
Looks like you have a new addition to your tail gate....... I haven't noticed the boo boo till now. LOL
Keep up the great work guys!! Love it!
A dump truck video last summer you just missed it I guess
@@matt.mckinzie Cool! That means there's one out there I haven't seen yet! I'm on it! Thanks!
don't understand those guys. good job helping them!!!
I can't help but wonder what kind of cargo is on that rental truck in the middle of nowhere.
Us folks that live in the middle of nowhere like Amazon just as much as everyone else.
Trail looks fun for a sxs
Up for 6 hr and already 1,000 thumbs up. Nice. Good video.
Excellent work, you are the best.

I wish Warn winches free spooled better, one of the worst winches for free spooling I’ve used. Good for pulling bad for free spooling
What model do you have?
We used the Zeon platinum and it free spools good
The Zeon free spooled awesome

@@matt.mckinzie 10/4 man, I haven’t bought any new warns because of this.
@@saltymofo5870 I can do a pull test and put a scale on each winch and show the difference if that would help
The best off road vehicle is a hire truck
Watching your videos, I really want to build a 4BT swapped gladiator 😂
Offroading in the Amazon(box truck)!
The last minute is hilarious
They added all the off road trails as legit roads on standard GPS systems? Why in the blue hells would they do that? That's just begging for issues!
Future plans to be finished but then the project got abandoned
@@matt.mckinzieyikes... What a mess
I'm just wondering why did you guys move all the way up there and leave Florida was it because of me lol

Great recovery. What engine do you have in your Gladiator?
Stock V6
What was in that truck ?
When y’all getting Arkansas plates?
Grow up around there. There are roads that just stop in the middle of the woods ITS CRAZY
I wonder what they were shipping😂
The GPS excuses lol. Nothing like a good old map book. People are more lost now with GPS than before.
You’re the man 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm curious if ONX showed the correct road conditions?
They do
We also showed the drivers on how to use it and to check to see what roads were paved and which ones were not
So they can find a good route to the homes they are delivering to
Moonshine?
You're welcome.
GPS is wrong, but what about their eyes?!🤦
theres no way he should have been on that road, the GPS often does that
Very cool!
Once again you do a job with one man and one truck that other you tube recovery teams would have 2 or 3 people.
Texas Rangers use to say one mob, one ranger, maybe Matt’s moto should me “one man,one truck”
I used to live right around the corner from here. The maps are ALL screwed up!
hell they could of drove out of that if they knew anything about rock stacking
You guys moved to Clinton.I believe you sai grew up around those areas.Actually west sign and prim
Yep been here since march
Wake me when something exciting happens.
Since you left FLORIDA
Is there anyone else doing what you did?
If not, I might consider building a rig for recoveries.
About 27 people attempting to do them as far as we know
Could be more than that
It’s the one negative of social media you have every guy in the state thinking it’s a cool job and wanting to do it
That’s not including the thousands of people on Facebook groups doing them completely wrong
@@matt.mckinzieThanks. You have cool equipment. But your job looked rough. Mud, bugs and all hours.

No road budget, or did the property taxes go to someone else
How lucky... gps is not always correct
easy one!!
Send me one like that 4 tourist visit kenya
We're yall been
Somebody pranked them good.
Never fully trust GPS. Common sense is necessary when driving off of paved roads, especially with a cargo truck.
So no one could help stack rock's
Why?
GPS stands for GIVE PEOPLE 💩
Why not off-road recovery Arkansas
Why change a name everyone already has grown and known over the last 3 years
@@matt.mckinzie I thought it was 'off-road recovery Florida' before
So easy to blame GPS, just use a tiny bit of common sense. Remember the office episode where Michael Scott drove into the lake saying the GPS told him to.
Still sporting Florida tags huh?
We in the process of changing stuff over
Have to get everything assessed and such
@@matt.mckinzie assessed? sounds like you have to pay property taxes on vehicles there? well im sure the property taxes are way less
@@james6794 yes and yes still cheaper then Florida
