    Per Kevin and Brittany, blue on OnX means that path is verified/validated recently. I think green just means it hasn't been verified within a year, or 6 months. Blue might mean someone with OnX has driven that road and verified that it is still drivable. OnX is community-driven, so everyone together helps rate the trails, provide pictures, and verify trails.

    I work fire lookouts each summer. No cell service for large portions of the forest. I bring my starlink with me (rv version subscription) and can use WiFi calling from my phone with it. Most of the time it’s stowed away, but sometimes I’ll drive with it connected from the bed of the pickup and an inverter. It’d be a cheap safety feature to have on these recoveries (cell phones working, internet and satellite imagery, accept customer payments, etc.). Also, it’s a great backup for the house when the internet goes down and works great for getting info while camping for prolonged periods of time.

    The wrecker is just plain awesome. It's not something converted from a road vehicle to an off-road one it is purpose built for the type recoveries that Matt is called upon to do. Matt should be so proud to say I (and crew) built that. I remember the build from the time the frame was just chalk marks on the floor. Not that this recovery was any challenge for it I have seen it at it's best where nothing else could of got the job done but it just makes me smile everytime I see it in action knowing that it is definitely one of a kind and there will never be another just like it. Matt usually has a smile on his face every time he is behind the wheel and rightfully so. Don't get me wrong I love the Morrvair also, it's one mean machine too. I started watching when all he had to work with was the almost stock XJ and a Bubba brand tow rope and no winch, just yanked everything out. Things have changed over the years and Matt has become very successful and rightfully so from all his hard work, great family and awesome crew. I forgot to include generosity also. Thanks for the ride.

    I spent a summer in southeast Utah staking mining claims, along with a couple of buddies. Four wheel drive was a necessity, and there were some times when we really didn’t know if we could get out of places we’d gotten into. That experience soured me on four wheeling as a form of recreation.
    This and your other videos restore some of the sense of adventure: to have the tools to do this job, and the satisfaction of helping someone in distress changes the four-wheeling endeavor into something with purpose.
    Thanks!

I suppose we'll never know, unless the owner contacts Matt after the repair is finished and Matt passes the info along to us in an update. I've never owned a 4-Runner, but I see people with them travelling the backcountry in Death Valley, on some pretty rough roads, like Steel Pass and Lippincott, if you are familiar with them, and 4-Runners are tough as nails if you upgrade them with TA/KO-2's, skid plates, and maybe diff lockers (if that's possible?).
