    "Your expensive Jeep that doesn't do any of the things it used to do" is the most sarcastic I've ever seen Matt get with a customer.

    • @moparman1962
      @moparman1962 Рік тому +51

      Matt's experience and wisdom come through as a teachable moment often...to the customer, and more importantly to hundreds of thousands of his Subscribers now and over time. Matt loves off-roading, he is an avid trails and obstacles guy and he loves the rigs that can do those things...I'm sure he truly does hate seeing a nice rig destroyed for the most part by water or an accident.

      "Go get familiar with your new Jeep that doesn't do the things that used to do"
      That's wise advice, I don't sense the attitude of elitism out of him, it's not a Land Rover, Hummer - it's a 👇
      👉Jeep 👈
      ☝️
      And even if it was a Land Rover- Who cares?
      These folks are off-road, doing things that Matt does in his spare time for fun.
      -how did you twist that?
      We know how to get unstuck, perform these types of tasks because we've been there ourselves
      This guy loves off-roading, it's his hobby-you don't think he drove down a river or onto a path he should not have?
      Of course we do? It's fun! 😃
      and that's how we know how to get unstuck!
      Look-he's got a few gray hairs... He's been getting stuck and unstuck probably most of his life.
      So the guy had a vacation adventure he's never going to forget... I'm betting Matt and his friends kick back over a root beer Saturday nights, and chuckle at the stupid things they did when they were kids, with less experience.
      Not like he was driving around drunk with his kids in the car and went off a cliff.
      I don't punish people for being adventurous-he's doing the same thing at 50 years old that Matt did at 15.
      Only the guy with the Jeep doesn't have the same fifteen-year-old's experience.
      I don't recall him using the word "expensive"
      And he knows he'd be a hypocrite - it's his job to help people-if it didn't happen this often, he wouldn't make a living at it.
      And I'm guessing his resume to qualify him for this type of work, are a few life experiences of getting stuck!
      It's a Jeep!
      They're just having family fun!
      His having a shiny new red Jeep doesn't bother the fact that I like to drive 1975 beat-up international harvesters... We're all happy!

      Having crossed the Southern Utah streams and rivers for decades in my off roading adventures, Matts words of wisdom about not being able to stop rings so very true. The sand moves, your vehicle sinks, you can't dig out because the sand is moving. Even with a light ATV type vehicle, getting out once you sink is tough.

    I got stuck in a river once for 2 days. There just happened to be a T bar on the bottom that perfectly shot up and severed my shift cable on the trans. In addition to the $1k tow bill, I got to replace the fluids in both diffs, the t case, and trans, plus it took a year for the last of the ton of sand to shake it's way out of the chassis. I don't do water crossings anymore without being able to see the bottom and walking across first.

Although the trail went into the river on one side, there was no way out the other side. Extremely memorable event!

Then while still wet and I am sure somewhat frustrated, instantly pivots to educator by having Tom to the extract on the car. Always teaching, and mentoring for others to become better.

"all the roads were gated so we just followed the river" . Besides the risk to him, vehicle, family, it was incredibly irresponsible and selfish. So much for tread lightly.

      I've been stuck, and when I come across somebody who needs pulling out, I don't criticize... Been there, done that!
      Someone else got me out, I learned how to do it and we pay it forward!
      But if this wasn't common, Matt wouldn't be making a living at this! Lol!
      I got my husky Malamute able to pull my ATV out when I get stuck - lots of places to get stuck in Alaska, always ready

(fictitious, only making a point), more engine torque...it needs it, you guys need it to assist and do recoveries solo, we'd very much like to see an entire upgrade series on it to near-Morvair capability, if not equal to it. Tom is MORR Crew in a big way now, Heffe has his Bronco now (he deserved it) and he uses it to assist and recover rigs, Tom deserves to have his OWN uber-capable, off-road recovery rig also...it will be a HUGE hit on the channel!

    Matt, I think you should invest in ceramic window tint for your recovery vehicles. Their AC systems, if existent, won't ever be able to keep up with the infrared energy pounding you guys on their own.
    There are some really great high visual light transmission options that still block nearly all of the infrared energy, which is where the heat comes from.

      There's no greater wastage than that caused by insurance companies that just willy nilly total everything. As a Jeeper of many years I'm positive that thing would be totally fine after just normal failed fording maintenance. New battery, crank with no spark plugs to get rid of potential water in cylinders, change differential oil (standard practice after ANY major fording anyway), maybe dry the fusebox with a hair dryer, and it's good as new. There's hardly any electrics in the lower portion of the cabin, it's designed that way for this very reason. There are drain plugs in the floor, too...

I didn't feel like messing with a bent frame though so I took the payout from the person who hit my truck. Ideally I would've pocketed $26k, took the truck, slapped it back on the road for a few grand and been smiling ear to ear. Hindsight isn't my friend.
