Lost And Found FORD! That Was A Close One!

- The first job was a small extraction on a Honda Civic that had become trapped in some soft sand at a trailhead parking area.
It took little effort to find them, and little effort to extract the car. Soon they were on their way.
The next day we were called by the sheriff’s dispatch to respond to a 911 call for a pickup truck that was in a precarious spot on Kolob mountain. We didn’t have much to go on.
Dispatch told us that the people were safe, that the vehicle was in trouble, and they were able to give us GPS location. But they did not have any other information such as vehicle descriptions, or the exact predicament the truck was in.
We headed out in the little yellow banana to see what we could see. Upon arriving at the GPS point, and not seeing any sign of a vehicle being recently driven in, we started to fan out and explore every road circling out from the center of the GPS pin.
Finally, after we felt we had exhausted every possibility, we headed out to a point where I knew I could get cell phone reception.
A few miles down the road we came across the vehicle we were looking for, quite by accident, as it was about 5 miles off the GPS coordinates.
When we arrived, we found the truck precariously perched on the edge of the road with two wheels hanging over the bank.
I started calculating the angles, and rigging up so we could pull the truck back onto the road.
Within a few minutes, the truck was back on solid ground.

Thanks for watching!
8:34 how badass is that Jeep to pull that truck sideways while climbing a hill. So awesome.
As a Jeep XJ owner myself, those little SUV's(XJ's) keep impressing me with their performance time and time again.
xj is very impressive.!. they are kind of the "sleeper car" of the offroad world.
and this guys xj has replaced all of the weak stuff and has front dana 44 and rear dana 60 with disk brakes, coils, and lockers all the way around.!.
@JonsReef 220ft lbs is enaugh to get the job done, and thats about all you need...
The reason for using a light weight XJ is they float better over sand and mud, gets into (and out of) tight spots really well.
Theres no use of having a big rig to tow stuff if you can't even get to where the cars are stuck, and time and time again that little XJ has proved itself to be strong enaugh to complete the recovery...
There's probably still better rigs out there than a old XJ, but on top of being good enaugh they are cheap, parts are cheap and they're pretty easy to work on...
I would do a cummins diesel swap in it if it was me, but for Matt whatever does the job sticks, if something works he's not fixing it!
its a harbour fright motor to in it... hahahhahahahaha
JonsReef dude shut the fuck up and find something better to do. You’re obviously ass with your comments on RUclips.
I am beginning to have a hell of a lot of respect for that Yellow Jeep and You.
He sure knows his truck!
No way thats a in-LINE 4.0 ,! Is it? Or 5.2
@@arthurtalmage4930 its the old 6-cyl in-line 4.0--nothing Jeep Grand Cherokee about that under carriage.
Its called skills, always remember skilled labor isnt cheap, and cheap labor isnt skilled!
Now he has designed the Banana, and it is majorly modified, most new trucks claim they are 4 wheel drive, when they are only 2 wheel drive.
If they say 4X4, they are 2X4, unless you paid more money to make them true 4 wheel drive.
If you didnt order it that way you have a 2X4 and will never be a true 4 wheel drive.
I have proven this to many people with $70,000.00 dollar rigs.
I will put my XJ up against any stock Rubicon, and I have less then $3000.00 in mine, with no after market lockers.
@ in the crybaby video he says the jeep is pretty much stock
That rock climb was impressive :3
Not sure how I got here but I'm like 7 vids in. Lol
Edit: 1 year later, still love watching the banana and crew. I live in the southwest, plain on going to the 4 corners area next spring. Yeah, probably gonna make them one of our destinations of interest....lol.
phutto505 haha the same happened to me
It’s a cult ... one of us, one of us..
Same here.
Glad I'm not the only one...
I have no idea why I am watching this but I have done it for hours!
So after watching many many videos I've concluded 3 things, 1. Your driving skills are top notch,
2. Your recovery skills are ridiculously amazing
3. Wholesome content!
I cant believe you do everything you do with a fleet of XJs. I've done my fair share of offroad recoveries but nothing on the level you do. So much respect on that! Stay safe brother! 🤟🇺🇲
My cousin recommended me to your channel, and man it’s addicting! My wife loves watching it as well, seeing as she used to do towing with her father. But I’ll tell you what, Ed is my favorite guy on the show. I’m glad to see you taking the old timer out there. Im sure he loves it!
Damn, that rock crawling next to the fence was impressive by itself!
I mean... This guy makes me want to get a Jeep.
cant keep out an off roader
@@HydraliskX Matt's "Banana Jeep" is definitely impressive but what I'd really like to find is an XJ with Matt's skills in the glove box!!! That's what makes it most impressive.
@@MrGaryGG48 that's a good Saiyan Matt skills in the glove box
Ed and I would get along well “I’m alive, it’s hot but we’ll get the job done!”
J Ramsay haha love it
ruclips.net/video/bYo6nuAOg8o/видео.html
God bless that ol' man. He went right on the $$$ I'm here...still alive..hot...but we'll get the job done
That Civic was so sad. Made it a whole 12 inches off the pavement before it got stuck! LoL
So after watching for months and catching up with a lot of the old videos, I'm guessing this was the beginning of a big change in Randy's life! A recap video of when everyone started coming on board and how the "filming crew" developed would be awesome. Thanks
Ed is a national treasure. We must protect him at all cost!
Matt is an absolute genius, engineering, fabrication,
welding, and driving skills, Matt is simply the very best!.!
Look at you pulling that Ford sideways off the side of the mountain!!! Absolutely amazing! And CRAZY!
Good job being persistent finding these lost guys!
And look at Ed helping move that fence- he’s still got life in him!! Ed is awesome!
And great job climbing that rock to get past the fence- you are a good driver! ❤️🐞
It’s a Bug’s Life I completely agree! I am very impressed with how well you pulled the Ford sideways. Plus the impressive driving around the gate over the huge “vehicle” blocking boulders and how close you were to that pole. Very persistent finding those poor old people!
ruclips.net/video/bYo6nuAOg8o/видео.html
@@psychology2217 , those poor old people seemed pretty ungrateful for all the work he did to find them. I'm glad the owner insisted that he wanted to be pulled out.
The fuck back in the kitchen
Imagine driving all the way out there and they refuse service -.-
he said he at least charges them for driving out there, even if he does nothing
@Mister Fister and that's why you don't run a business
@Mister Fister lmao
@Mister Fister Have your brain checked buddy.
@Mister Fister wow, talk about a snowflake douchebag. Sensitive much? Did you tell your mama he hurt your feelings and you got the sads?
Most people don’t even know if their car is front wheel drive or rear wheel drive
Very true; not everyone cares.
@@Icutmetal It really shouldn't be about caring. Just know a couple things about what you are driving. It can be very useful.
fun story, a couple years ago, a security guard was patrolling in the street with a dodge charger in winter (rwd), he got stuck, got out, installed some traction aid to FRONT WHEELS, get back in the car, floor it, back end spinning... He couldn't figure it out so someone came out and pushed his car lol....
Evan Moon: That's because their fucking stupid and shouldn't be
driving ! 👍😮
Those are called millennials !
Climbing over big rocks by that gate was freaking unreal. Great work!
Ed: "still alive" 🤣 Always cool to see this dude! Puts smile on my face 😀
How could you not like Ed? He and my 95 year old dad would get along well; they both still have more good stories than you can count! There's been a lot of interesting life packed in all those years. It's well worth the time to sit back and visit with them; you both gain from that.
Finest vid in the lot (that I've watched so far! ha)! Impressed with the Yellow Banana, your mudding, rock crawling, and interpersonal skills. Love the ending with the parade. You are truly great guy building a wonderful legacy! Keep up the great work! Loving the entire channel!
You saw those rocks and had to jeep em. "Just Jeepin boys"
Good old Jeep XJ. You wouldn't do that with a modern JeepUV, that's for sure.
Always appreciate Ed letting us know he's still alive. 😄
I have watched a bunch of these videos tonight and I gotta say, I'm real stoked with your 4wd. I think its just the perfect thing for what you do especially with how in tune you are with driving it.
Amazing how easy you make it look when you've got the right equipment and expertise. Not everybody realises the value of that alone.
Love that Ed has become a favorite!!!! He reminds me of my grandpa!!!
Great episode! The Ford truck owner was smart to let you help. Who knows if their friend can find them and if he could get them out. That little parade was so cool. Small towns are great. The people know each other and have fun together. That’s lost America. Not where I live!
What an incredible service you provide. People don’t know just how dangerous it can be doing a recovery. You guys are awesome, keep up the great vids!
Best video to date! It just keeps getting better! Thanks for sharing Matt and family!!
Randy is the man lol. His laugh kills me!!! 🤣🤣🤣 All of you are awesome 😎. I watched all your videos everyday after work for the last 3 weeks . Waiting for more !!! Matt , Ed , Rudy .... all of you are great.
That jeep and your driving is impressive!
I have a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and I would never even think about going over those rocks!
ruclips.net/video/bYo6nuAOg8o/видео.html
@@AlaskaErik lmao pussy
@@AlaskaErik sounds like a waste of a Rubicon
@@MrStapleduck I would get hung up there. It's not lifted and it has stock tires. With a four inch lift and 37s, no problem.
The suspension work Matt has done on the XJ is impressive, the rock crawl was made to look easy.
That was impressive with the Ford Matt there is a lot of people that can learn to double sling a vehicle in a cliff edge situation like that. Loved the end of the video man very cool 🤙🤙🤙
ruclips.net/video/bYo6nuAOg8o/видео.html
Great recovery. I've watched about 20 of your vids so far and can't stop watching em! Love Ed's good talk
Just what I needed to improve my week a bit. Great video as always. Big support from SA.
Can't believe they would refuse after what you guy's had to go through to find them. Glsd the owner had since.
As this channel keeps growing it will become a thing for people to purposely get stuck and call these boys to get you out, "did you see me on lasts weeks upload" sort of situation. It’s coming....
Good idea!
Lol if I lived near him I would have done this
James Mazur haha help I’m stuck in Australia, come tow me
ruclips.net/video/bYo6nuAOg8o/видео.html
As long as the money is green......
I amazes me again and again, how easy the actual pull is to get the customer car out of a really dangerous situation ! Great work!
I am finding myself hooked on these recoveries. I like the calmness of Matt and the crew and how seamless the recoveries seem to be. I credit that to knowledge and experience. I have a question, Why doesn't the Yellow Banana have a winch? In my limited experience they can come in handy.
Thank you for the videos, and Ed rocks.
Time for a Garmin InReach. This way you have the ability to talk to dispatch, especially if something goes wrong en route/on scene/ returning from a recovery in the mountains.
For sure, tax write off too.
Hey Matt, your videos are great and you and your team really seem just to be the nicest people. Wonderful honest work you're doing there.
Superb driving over those rocks, Matt! I've seen 20 to 25 of your towing videos. Have been greatly impressed by your driving & towing ability. Today watching you go over those rocks trying to find the "lost" truck, I was extremely impressed. You are one "heck" of a highly-skilled expert driver!! Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii (formerly of Springville, Utah).
Absolutely unbelievable how you got that ford safely on a road again. Professional as it gets.
Ye ole utah pullin😂
I bet Ed has some stories that he can tell, love the ol timers, I have learned so much from them and love hearing there stories Rock on Ed!!!
Brett Callahan I wish he would do a series where it is just Ed telling stories.
I thought he was just stopping for a photoshoot on the rocks before they backed up so we could see the gate.
I am impressed every time you pull something like that out of those spots! Amazing job!
I'll bet folks from other parts of the Country are amazed by this show - everything from the heavy Forest rising immediately above the Desert to a good ol' small town Utah Parade - Utah we Love thee!
Wow that was a damned impressive double snatch man. Thanks for the education.
When I did towing and recovery, one thing I couldn't stand was driving for miles and then they want to refuse service when I got there. I got dispatched one night at 2am. to drive 65 miles to pick up some guys that were broke down 65 miles from nowhere, and as soon as I pulled up after driving an hour to get to them, the owner of the truck had a nasty attitude because it took me a little over an hour to get there, and he said, I don't know now that I even want you touching my F'ing truck, so I walked back to my truck and I got in and left. lol. That was the first time I drove away from a job, but I be damned if someone was going to wake me up at 2am to drive an hour one way to help them, and then curse at me once I get there. lol. He called the next day saying he would never use our company again, and I told him thank you and hung up. lol.
There's probably 10 or more in the phone book. Call someone else to be nasty to. I agree.
My favorite is it's a busy day slammed with called 7-10 calls lined up, get to listed address, After previously confirming address with customer. Upon arrival dont find car, call customer I explained my location they said noo not " its not Drive, its court!" After I had already asked! Proceeds to check updated location it's now 15 miles away across san jose during 5pm rush hour taking up to an hour to drive to now. After already spending minimum 30 minutes driving to the wrong address... GOA those calls. Another get to flat tire, customers either dont have/know a wheel lock, or a spare! Dont even get me started on the god damn mini coopers!!!!!!!
@@ncrtransport5993 A mini driver: got high centered on a comically low snow/ice bank [outside the climbing gym] and folks were trying to extract... with a ratchet strap pulling on one of the front wheels. Had to count to 5 internally after the twerp doing the pulling wasn't happy when I pointed out that the wheel wasn't the best idea. There was "nothing else" to pull from apparently.
Except they have that tow rod [which the owner had ZERO knowledge of it's entire existence] somewhere. Usually. 30s with the owners manual, another 90s finding it and fitting: low and behold a tow-point. A crowd of a dozen hipster? office workers/colleagues of the mini driver were just.. standing around otherwise. 6 of them could've shoved the thing out but hey. useless the lot of them
@@ncrtransport5993 Mini Cooper - you mean Rolling Turd......
@@geraldg3130 here it's the Prius drivers that are the worst. I had one stuck on the beach and I gave them a good price since I was already there and they refused 😒 I warned him about the tide coming in and he took it as a threat 😂.... long story but the cops were involved and the next day I got a call for a swamped Prius and a $200 job turned out to be$1900 and the best part was when they were complaining to the insurance company about how I tried to rob them the insurance company refused their claim because they refused service that would have prevented the total loss 😂
I choked up a bit when you came upon the stuck red Ford, If those people didn't have cell reception it would be a bad situation, you kept going and going and going till you finished. You are a super hero seriously, I stumbled on your channel and just love it... you are a professional hero thanks man for your service
That's the first time I've ever seen anyone pull a truck from both ends at the same time. Great job.
Nice driving, I've been waiting for some rock climbing!
1:20 even though he's stuck, I don't like how the driver is in reverse while you are putting the chains on under his car. Not a safe scenario.
@Mister Fister Get a life
I love when people are willing to call 911 but then refuse service. Im glad the owner said F-that lets get out of here.
One of my favorite things about your videos is that unlike all the Truck and suv commercials that I see, I finally get to see a suv doing somewhere my car couldn't go. ;-}} Well done and nice driving!
Keep it up man I love watching the videos me and the fam overland so I guess we are gonna have to ride out there and get stuck so we can meet you
Well said my friend
That's why I love Jeep 4.0l inline good torque
I'd watch Matt's videos just to see all the beautiful scenery...deserts and dunes and mountains and trees....beautiful.
There's something real pleasing about your videos
I want to live in a town like that. It reminds me of when I grew up, hard to find places like that today.
Thats a very capable jeep and great driver
ruclips.net/video/bYo6nuAOg8o/видео.html
Ed is my hero! He always says "we'll get them out!" And he just stands around smoking all the time lol. He's the man!
Matt there is magic in your shows you don't do all the fancy bull and you have me hooked. Its simply and easy, THANK YOU
I love Ed. He keeps it real in the videos Matt. @0:24 hilarious 😂😂
ruclips.net/video/bYo6nuAOg8o/видео.html
Matt, this video makes a great case for a winch. When you had to get a second bite your friend was in a precarious position. A winch would have allowed a slow, steady SAFE recovery.
Ok Bob
OK boomer
I really like you guys. Ed seems like a great fella to hang out with. Y’all stay safe and keep on keeping on.
I wish I lived there.
You really are a good driver. Can’t believe how easy you made it over the rocks.
You are one great driving dude Matt, especially getting in that tight spot where you had to go around the fence.
You should get a drone, might help you find vehicles from a birds eye view!
Yea
Get With RCflitetest, he could build up something.
I think they listed lol
That is a situation where a winch would be safer
Not exactly. A winch would have just commanded the Jeep to slide towards the Ford. They needed momentum to get this truck up and over the lip of the road.
EJ Wall strap the Jeep to a tree and you can get out of the vehicle and perform the recovery Incase it goes south
@@emi123nem yep, with a sideways position I like to tie off one end and winch the other. But any time ite precarious its winch only, spool much safer. Of course my rigs are so heavy they dont move. My Power Wagon never moves. However if it was extremely dangerous tieing the winch rig off is a good move. Thankfully those situations are rare.
Pretty sure I’ve binge watched 90% of your videos. In about 3 nights. Awesome work! You’re a good dude, Matt. Thanks for the content!
the blue civic is the peak of your rescues, sorry but that cant be topped I was on the edge of my seat for that one
Gaining access was more impressive than the recovery 😂
Refused service?! Do they not know the master when they meet him?!😉👍👌😁
That jeep is pretty impressive. Climbs, pulls with ease.
These videos are addictive. Maybe it’s because I miss the adventure of working recoveries. Love the parade
Awesome work mate, how do people end up like that, it’s just crazy to me
Ed definitely filmed good enough 👍
I agree like that guy bet he has some stories to tell
That was an exciting recovery, good job guys👍🏼
I signed up to your Channel about a month ago and I pretty much watched every one of your videos now I love the channel I love scenery I love the tows keep them coming this is one viewer that is addicted and by the way I think you're a good man you go above and beyond the Call of Duty over and over without a second thought I really wish there was more people like you in the world it would be a better place thanks again.
Matt's Snatch and Pull . That's the correct name for his business.
I’m convinced god himself build that damn Jeep lol
I am just amazed on how most of Matt's exrtaction only involves the use of that kinetic rope and that . Simple and effective as always.
Ed is the best, He said still alive it's hot but will get the job done.
You should add a 12k winch and at least 1 snatch block to your recovery arsenal.. That jeep unibody won't take too much of that tugging abuse.
Saying he's 1ton swapped I guarantee that unibody is plated front to back he runs a towing business I'm sure he know what would happen
Ha yeah ok .those xj were built very well.itll take the abuse
True. A winch is ideal in that situation for a slow controlled pull.
Jtwizzle you can’t really winch other vehicles with a Jeep unless it’s another Jeep , you will just slide toward the other vehicle (well unless you anchor to something)
@@spencersanderson9582 im speaking in general. And with any vehicle, if you're winching somebody out, it's ideal to be anchored.
Holey moley! That rock crawling was mighty impressive, especially for a vehicle lacking 44" tires, Rockwell top loader axles, 20" articulating suspension, etc.
Este fue el primer video que vi y desde entonces sigo este canal y me entretiene mucho cada recuperación. Saludos
We don't need no stinkin winch. Nice recovery.
Man, I love ed!😆 He is seriously the best! And I’m pretty sure if I was a passenger in that truck when it got stuck I would have peed in my pants a little.😳
ruclips.net/video/bYo6nuAOg8o/видео.html
Nice job
As my job but the different is the job
I am towing cars from a desert
Big love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
The laughter on the first pull ( blue Honda ) was held back very professionally. LMAO
Old man is a cool dude! Respect!!!
Honda stuck one foot off pavement. Same as a mile in that desert sand.
I will love to have a job like yours! you need a Drone with video to search from the air. A side note I will always carry a survivor kit and a shotgun safety first
Love how raw the videos are! Glad I stumbled across this channel
This was scary, they, The rescuees, were realy lucky. Good Job Ed and Matt.
Matt you are one hell of a good tow man you never cease to amaze me by how easily you make this look you pulled that truck out like butter good job bud and that was some pretty sketchy driving up over those rocks considering you guys were in the middle of nowhere but you did what you had to do to get the customer out and that makes you a good man in my books so many people would have turned around at that gate and said tough titty Kitty good job Matt good good job...
I always have a map, can’t always rely on gps! Especially in Tennessee
Yeah but your map may loose service in the mountains.... It will just do that stupid annoying loading circle thing then does you no good.
@@TRX450RVlogger with some of the young people nowadays i cannot tell if you are joking or serious.hopefully its a joke ..
Gps works fine on an actual gps and not a phone.
I love your videos. So nice to see that the Jeep is still used as a workhorse. Just like Ed, he is also needed. And as a cameraman he does a great job.
Dedication to something you really love doing. Would love to be with you . My late brother and I did a lot of this. Matt you remind me of him so much. You are very special person.
1:20 I was a bit uneasy to see you operating under the chassis of the Civic while its reverse lights were on...
Carlo Defilippi I mean we’re is the car gonna go back up and magically get it self unstuck
Jaden Waldman don’t be an idiot. Shit happens, I would of told the owner to put it in park until it was hooked up
Talk about value for money, the Banana already returned it's value twenty times maybe more.....Nothing like a Jeep.
I like watching pre covid recoveries, people seem happier
I watched this a while back, but I re-watched it and I had forgotten how you Dragged that ford sideways off that cliff! I'm sure most people, even 4 wheelin people, don't understand how difficult that is! Impressive stuff Matt!
