    Around 1:55 to 2:00 I noticed that both of Tomtom’s passengers were holding on to the roll cage rails. Might I suggest to put some sort of loops from the one where Colby has his hand to the a pillar one. To reinforce the corner and provide a hand hold.

      @Sjanzo 11 месяцев назад +9

      I did the same to our sand rail. Make sure the inner cage tube is trussed enough so that its impossible that the outer tube bends inwards enough to crush a hand. And you never get rubbed on a tree at high speed...

      @masterbates7016 11 месяцев назад

      Been saying this for a long time. Never hold on to the roll cage. Keep your whole body in the buggy. Holding onto the roll cage in the rocks is a great way to lose some fingers.

    I bet the Tangerine is more useful in its current configuration. Maybe a canvas top and a windshield and a front winch could be added for more recovery work.

    • @ritterkeks
      @ritterkeks 11 месяцев назад +5

      a windshield - even just perspex - is a must. especially if the driver in this case is not even wearing sunglasses. very easy to get injured - a stone or an insect to the cheek is dangerous enough, let alone straight to the eyeball.

    • @eekee6034
      @eekee6034 3 месяца назад

      @@ritterkeks I think you're right. I wear glasses so my eyes are all right, but I've had a few bumblebee strikes on my bike at 8-15 mph, and it's a startling impact even at lower speeds. Just the other day I hit a dragonfly. It was disorientating -- WHOMP-FRRRRRR with its wings over my eye. I would absolutely have had wings _in_ my eye if I didn't have my glasses on. I was on a path less than 3 feet wide with nettles on one side and a canal on the other, with water which stays cold enough to be dangerous for almost the entire year.
      So I guess I guess I have a very good reason not to get contacts, even though I see much better with them.

    You need a solid link from the back of the wrecker to the towed vehicle. I have an idea for it. Utilize the pintle hook. Make a 2 piece sliding square or round tube with holes drilled to make it length adjustable, add the pintle hook to attach it the the wrecker. Than make a couple adapters that can strap on to the diff, or bumper & one to go into a 3 in hitch reciever on the towed vehicle. No more damage, and no need for braking or an anchor vehicle.

    A couple small pair of vice grips on the brake hoses will help you in those situations to get you partial brakes going again with minor risk of further damage.

    Jam the brake pedal hard. Should move the shuttle valve in the prop/ combination valve to shut flow to the rear brakes. That's how it's designed to work

    Difficult recovery no matter which way you did it and a good result. Tangerine could do with a small clear plexiglass wind breaker across the top of the dash/firewall.

    That was a great recovery Matt! To get that giant wrecker through those treacherous dips was nerve wracking, but just highlight your driving skills and knowledge of towing requirements. Have enjoyed your channel for years now and look forward to 2024. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of the crew at Matt's Off Road Recovery!

    Matt -Just an Idea- Growing up for pulling truck out that had no brakes, we used a chain inside a 3" or 4" drill pipe tied to each vehicle hitch or solid tie down point on each. Tow truck was used as the breaks.

    Proof once again that there is no substitute for experience and lateral thinking. The crew brings a vast collective bank of knowledge to every recovery. A big round of applause to the camera operators, great shots as always and I salute you for the “off road” running you guys are constantly doing. I guess you are all fit enough for ultra marathons!

    There should be a rubber brake hose that feeds off to both rear wheel cylinders. Clamp that hose, and you'd get front brakes to use. (for future info)

    Back in '99 I rebuilt my Dana 35 after a trip to Moab and broke the ring and pinion. Had to drive out of Pritchett Canyon, and back to town in reverse. Right after I rebuilt it, tried to chirp the tires (like an idiot) by popping the clutch. Heard a bang, so I got on the freeway to head home a couple miles away. Tire and axle shaft flew off and left me grinding my way to a stop on the side of the road riding on the backing plate. Still remember watching my axle shaft and tire role past me! Fun times, needless to say a Dana 44 with Superior axle shafts and a spool solved that problem forever!
