Thanks for coming up and helping out.
With a little work, J&J could be two of the fanciest men in the Off Road industry.
The most ambitious crossover event in history!
My two most favorite channels crossing lines, loved this video
Been waiting for this to happen. I can’t be the only one that’s thought you and James look exactly alike 😂😂
@@felixmatthew6155 sort of three! That's Robbie Layton's limo, the "Laymo"
You guys should do hi truck vs your first level truck on an off-road trail. ❤
Nice to see James finally reunited with his dad.
Hahahaha
Dude, same length beard and they're twins
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😳😂🤣🤣🤣☠️
😂😂😂😂
The most fear I’ve ever seen in James’ face. Insane. Glad everyone was okay.
and the guy already went through a 12-hour heart attack, that's saying something
That was unforgettably heroic of both Matt and James to instinctively without hesitation, risk their own lives to save the crew in front of them in attempt to flip the vehicle to avoid further danger. love this channel, crew and guests alike. :)
I've seen Matt be money under pressure plenty of times on his channel, but I was honestly impressed/surprised by James. He never froze up, never looked away, he just got the job done. Then he said "throttle stuck" like someone asked him what he wanted to drink. Seems like he's one of those people who becomes quieter and more focused the worse something is. Well done both of them.
I'm not sure if I understand the explanation of what happened completely, but I think that them steering sharply to the right was what ended up snapping the throttle cable and shutting it off. Amazing luck (following awful luck). Really fortunate that it wasn't worse and everything was ok
@@Logjambamyes and no, so the turning kept tightening the cable around the steering column and at that point it made the throttle stick so to avoid hitting anyone they turned the wheel as far as they could and then finally the cable snapped.
@@Logjambamsimple terms, on old cars. Sterring wheel connected to rod, rod connects to rack and steers the tires (very simplified) the throttle cable got wrapped around the rod and as he turned I think...left? The throttle cable got tighter and tighter making It give power.
Bro you could see the absolute fear in James eyes when the throttle cable broke lol
I was all puckered up and I'm siting in front of a screen..
even matt was puttin some bite marks in his seat
Good thing nobody seen my eyes behind the screen
@@ssenssel Same here! I would have. That recovery rig would have smashed that Jeep or FJ easy and probably kill someone..... so awesome video
@@slider2828 it was a bronco lol
that throttle getting stuck was absolutely terrifying!! that was a super close call
@Carl Weezer couldn't you also just shut off the car? that should kill it too
He absolutely could have turned the key off & that & the break would have solved the problem immediately but unless you know wots happening with the vehicle your brain just wouldn't immediately jump to that as an answer. From memory & I maybe totally wrong but It could have happened because Matt's wrecker is hydraulically steered (I think)& if so I don't think the orbital box has a stop on it meaning you can keep turning the steer wheel which would be how that cable was able to wrap itself round the world & back. Well done for not dying great work. .
@@dakotajohnson5009 The biggest issue is us, humans, always best to have a big red button on the dash that stops everything so we don't have to think about anything while we're in a panicked state.
ALWAYS have it in the back of your head to turn the key off especially when messing around with a performance vehicle.
Had it happen when I had my '68 Fury w/a 440 wide open. Shut'er down!
@Carl Weezer that works for petrol engines. For turbo diesels you can get turbo runaway which is a whole other kettle of fish. Pretty rare but in that situation you need to either jam it in 5th (or 6th if you have it) and hope you can get it in to gear to stall it. If that doesn't work or you're driving an automatic, you need to somehow cut the air supply by stuffing a rag into the air intake (if you have a Toyota you have to take the airbox lid off because the intake is in the wheel arch) or if you have a snorkel, getting a plastic bag over the head and smothering it that way. Very scary situation to be in, your engine starts revving faster and faster until it red lines, something gives and it goes boom. You need to act fast, 60 seconds if you're lucky, it all happens very quickly, and if the wind is blowing the wrong way you can't see anything because of the smoke pouring our of your exhast. I keep a black rubbish bag in easy reach on the snorkel side in case it ever happens.
Matt’s patience in this video is beyond me 😂😂
Everyone's human impulse reaction was "don't run over anyone". Very nice to see the on the fly and unified thinking by everyone in such a high pressure situation. Absolutely no one's fault and I hope no one loses sleep over it because there's only so much we can plan for and this was simply a testament. "Head on a swivel" as zach jobe quotes so often! Great job everyone love to see it
Nice to see Matt’s channel featured on here. He deserves recognition his whole team has great attitude.
Word
One of the best crossovers ever on YT!
Matt’s channel is no newb! The man has a mil n a half followers shiiii
@@TexasDmax_2k Deserved, I didn't know who he was until he was featured on here and the algorithm finally popped up a gem of his. Subscribed and hooked.
It’s really cool that Matt trusted James with all his cars. So chill
It’s called insurance
@@Justsayin71 nah. Insurance isn’t going to cover more than the cost of parts on a build like this. Took them a year to put each one of those together. Cost of that was made back by video viewership on the first round which probably wouldn’t be that high just watching them re put something together that they already built on the channel once
He’s a good dad 🥹
@@logankistler no I’m saying insurance donut media has.
Theyre tanks, the worst that coulda happened well... we almost saw that I guess. Lol
My dad taught recovery in the army when I was 8. He took me to work one day.
We recovered flipped tanks, those big Oshkosh rigs, regular tractor trailer. It was amazing.
He took me for rides in all the equipment. Tanks, humvees, trucks...
RIP to a real one. Thanks Dad
New respect for Lizzy. She gets in and gets it done with no big reactions or issues. It's not really apparent how good she is at it until you see someone else trying to do it.
This might just be the collab to finally get my dad into Donut. Keep trying to convince him to watch HiLow with the Tacos, knowing he'd dig it
@@deadheadduder i can see that. Donut makes videos for car guys and also try to make it entertaining for the younger ppl that might not be car people. Hes probly like junkyard digs if he doesnt already watch him. Thats the one i got my uncle to watch. Hes an old gm head
@@deadheadduder I do enjoy Donut videos, but I don't really like people to constantly act silly-excited. I like your content, Donut... stop yelling it at me.
Tell your dad i said hi.
Good luck with that. I hope it works.
i got my dad to watch hi low with the tacos with me when it first came out. He walked by my computer and saw it and was sucked in lol
Nice to see James's dad helping his son with the vehicle recovery
i was literally about to say. he looks like older james.
come to think of it... is that james dad all this time???
alright, we need a dna test. theres no FUCKING WAY thats not his dad.
Respect for all that Matt and his teams do out there. It's not easy to plan some of these recoveries, especially when its dark out or in the middle of the night.
Videos like this really make you appreciate how hard not only recovery is but just being a decent off roader is. Matt is pretty impressive just wheeling add a disabled vehicle and its beyond amazing.
Bro the fear in both of their eyes. Fucken priceless. Damn and Matt is definitely an internet dad lol. Love collabs like this
Really gotta hand it to James, all things considered, that was a really good reaction to that throttle disaster. Everyone has hindsight 20/20 but in the moment it's always different.
He did bloody well all things considered
Might be time to consider going drive by wire
@@Lysdexis Lmao no, drive by wire currently has a giant input lag and isn't usable to anybody but driving miss daisy
@@derpyduck5088 That's just simply not correct lol
Lol matts rigs are perpetually in the r&d stage
Matt looks like James’s somehow even more cool and handsome older brother that makes you wonder if his entire family is badass.
13:48 “I can’t believe this guy keeps letting me drive his rigs ”, quote of the video!! 😅 Matt is so positive and supportive, it’s amazing, the patience of a saint.
I have never seen Matt be wide open-eyed in panic.
Same. He responds well though. He knew exactly what to do
He is a very calm dude, so reading this comment before finishing the video tells me something big is going to happen lol
Who did that shady cable work?
@@kyleebrock They put in a 170k mile used engine that's almost 20 years old, and it broke at close to 250k miles. No one did any work, let alone shady work, on the throttle cable, which is why it broke. Parts fail, especially when they're old and have seen lots of use. There isn't anyone to blame, it just happened.
that cable clearly isn't 170k miles old@@Herpaderp10
I'm glad everyone was safe and nothing bad happened from the throttle incident. The sheer look of panic on both faces is always funny to look back on once everyone is ok.
No kidding, if that cable had held on (and the throttle open) for just a bit longer... Ouch!
@@SansNeural Yep. And Matt wasn't belted in.
what a bunch of noobs. other one yelling GET OFF THE BRAKE. like it would help stop the vehicle and both were not bright enough to turn the key to the OFF position.
@@vihreelinja4743 you do it then.
@@vihreelinja4743 Hindsight is 20/20. They didn't know what was happening, sometimes you just gotta commit to any idea because it's the only idea in such a short timeframe and with such a lack of information. Don't be a pretentious prick of a couch expert.
Hey a Matt's Off-road and Donut crossover. Two of my favorite channels. Awesome video guys. I really feel like I got to know Matt's rigs a little better, and as always you did it in style. Excellent recovery on the stuck throttle too. It's good to know when the chips are down your crew comes first. Well done, Gentlemen.
Matt and his crew are great people. They provide a fine service to the motorized community in Utah and northern Arizona. It would be cool to see more off road content from Donut!
Donut has become like the modern hub of automobile enthusiasts. Love seeing all the crossovers with other channels that I watch like Matts Off Road Recovery and Junk Yard Diggs. I'm always excited to see the next Donut video!
Close, but if there is a real hub I think that would be VIN Wiki
@@marvindebot3264 I'd say about 50% of vinwiki stories are interesting, other 50% is either really boring or cringe tbh.
Throttle house holds down the Top Gear portion as well
Junk Yard Diggs is GREAT!
The collab we needed, but never knew we needed.
Yes
Afuckinmen!
💯
Love you guys! You are so genuine! I feel the joy, the friendship, the anxious moments with you! Great Production. Thanks!
I said the same thing on Matt’s video, I never thought I’d see these channels colab but I’m so glad it happened! Matts chill layed back energy seems like it’d clash with donuts high energy randomness but it worked so well. Love the videos and love to see James reunited with his dad.
Can we take a second and acknowledge how incredibly cool Matt was throughout this whole thing? Multiple times when he could've been like, "Alright, let me take over." But Matt stayed cooler than a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce.
watching his content the thing that stands out the most is how consistently positive he stays when everything on a job is going wrong
This is easily the best video donut has made. There's so many things to love! It strikes a perfect balance of goofy challenge and genuine advice. Matt's a great sport and such a legend for letting yall nearly flip 2/3rds of hit fleet. Also, the long lens on the drone was a goated call, it looks super professional and cinematic.
I don't normally like goated calls, but this one worked out OK.
At this point it's hitting full TV production quality. Incredible.
Don't forget the retro video game graphics maps **chefs kiss**
Essentially what you are saying then is that every episode of matts off road recovery is better than every donut media video.
I disagree, but I respect that opinion.
You will love matts offroad recovery channel, I do
@@TonicofSonic No one said that MORR was better than Donut. I don't see where it was even implied. It was a statement that this is Donut's best video, nothing more.
With how transparent and honest they were, I would hire these guys in a heartbeat. 😊
Matt and Robby are awesome. I’ve been watching them for years and this collab made my day!
The fact that Matt was able to track and coordinate three different vehicles all linked up was mind blowing.
Craziest moment in Matt's Off-road Recovery history.
Matt is such a wicked guy. Always patient and wanting to show people great trails. His rigs rock.
Can’t say enough good things about these RUclips cross over videos. Thanks for amazing content as always
This isn't the collab I expect, but it's the collab I've been missing.
The confidence that Matt had in James driving his vehicles was inspiring.
So thankful no one got hurt from that throttle cable breaking! Great video! I love when Donut does collabs 🔥
Nice to see you guy's out with the MOOR family.. I'd say there's some good lessons being learned on this run in the sand and boulders.. that throttle linkage had me worried for a second but Matt saved the day and helped to stop it before anyone or any6got hurt or damaged. I had to make something like matt did so i could make it home one night. But its been great watching it so far..
I love how blunt he was when they asked if they could be professionals. “No”
James and his dad riding in the international is so adorable.
This KILLED me
I love it
this was a crossover we needed! awesome to see Matts off-road recovery on this channel!
Matt's offroad knowledge is worth more than a company
Matt is such a great fella. Super chill, even when one of his rigs is kinda trying to kill him and his copilot haha.
Why did this combination of creators make me so happy 🙂🙂
Fr the mashup I didn't know I needed
Family bonding is wholesome
Love these colabs!
So happy yall did a colab with Matt's offroad recovery. Thank you both for combining my two favorite channels.
I am SO glad to see Matt on the channel. Hes a hard working family man who deserves the exposure.
It's always great to see Matt in his vacation outfit. Thanks for giving him a break! 😂
the fact that he was brutally honest at the end 😂
I love that this finally happened. It was on my mind ever since you guys featured the heavy wrecker on your crazy RUclips builds list. Love it!
What a fantastic episode! The retro game visuals were an awesome touch
I never realized how good this collab could have been, but i had been waiting. Been watching both channels for a while now
No way! I always thought I was the only one secretly addicted to Matt's off-road recovery videos. And then, out of the blue, Donut Media swoops in for an epic crossover!
same!!!!
Sick edit! I loved watching Matt walk the boys through the processes
Bummer that the Wrecker busted a throttle cable, was looking forward to seeing its capabilities against the limo!
Matt has done some of the most amazing recoveries ever! This is also one of the best episodes ever! Its fantastic to see Donut mix things up even more!
James' dad went out for Milk, but ended up in Utah, and started a recovery company. Good to see technology brought them back together.
Justin knowing to back up and start on a new track impressed me the most lol
Ive watched Matt for years, so happy to see two of my favorite creators make an awesome video!
I absolutely LOVE seeing 2 channels I follow get together for a collab like this!
Matt is the absolute GOAT! Glad to see him getting more recognition! From 50k to Millions!
Lmao how do the producers let James behind the wheel of anything anymore😵🤣
They like to make money.
Remember when James flip the P50, because I remember
It wasn’t him this time throttle stuck
So awesome to see RUclipsrs collaborating! Loved the offroad stuff!!
Matt and his crew are great! That morrvair is up there with some of the coolest vehicles ever.
That moment with the stuck throttle was terrifying! I was confused that Matt was saying “off the brakes, off the brakes” but I realized he was concerned that you accidentally mixed up the pedals.
I’m sure James was super relieved to know that it was a mechanical and not on him. Maybe as relived as he was to not have actually crashed or rolled!
Matts off-road recovery is my favorite youtube channel. I watch a lot of youtube and just love these guys.
i agree, they are awesome
Yeah, absolutely love their work. Extremely humble people.
@@matthewwain9958 I met them last year at Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion. Great crew.
@@backwoodstherapy one day! (And hopefully not whilst getting stuck lol). Being in PA makes it a little tricky lol.
@@matthewwain9958 come down for the Great Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion this year! Hot as hell and humid here but it's a great time. Biggest jeep gathering on the east coast.
I never thought that a collab like this would be a good one but it turned out to be a great one and can't wait for more like it especially on Matt's end I hope you guys do more collabs with other RUclipsr's who also run their own business and I hope Matt does more collabs with other RUclipsr's like you
Stoked to see this colab! Two of my favorite channels
The expressions during the runaway wrecker scene are amazing and so glad you kept it all in the final edit.
Matt is the nicest father in the world! So amazing James was able to find a way to work and see his dad 😆
This is a crossover I didnt know I needed but glad that I saw :) Great stuff, love both channels.
So happy that they did a crossover. Love watching Matt’s and donut’s videos.
Matt is a legend! Heroes are remembered but legends never die!
I love when James started singing, and honestly thought Matt would chime in. Didn't expect the Wrecker to go rogue!! Great video, way overdue!!!!
Me too! Then I thought, well maybe Matt doesn't know that song.
An off-road towing company? What a dream job that must be. You get to drive monster trucks through the most scenic and remote places on earth and every client is so grateful for your service.
It's always great to see an expert demonstrating their skills & explaining their knowledge...bravo 🙌
Been watching the MORR crew for a while now, you forget how hard what they do is. They make it all look so easy! Then you see what regular people go through trying to do what they do. Great video!
This is the collaboration we all needed. MORR is the best.
Yet Another great collaboration guys! Good Vibes to Y’all! 🤙
Matt, his family, and his crew are all awesome peeps! Longtime follower of his! ❤
Matt is the man, helped so many people over the years
Duuuuude, I've been wanting y'all to collab for such a long time, because James looks like Matt when he was in his 20s, and that alone is hilarious to me
Im so happy you guys worked with Matt.
It finally happened… all my heroes in one video. You guys are the best.
Bro, Matt on this channel. What a gem, love this guy
I love how all the RUclips channels I follow, are like minded enough-- to totally collab with each other. I friggen love it.
The skill and control involved here is incredible. I'm very impressed with Matt for trusting James to drive his rigs!
having my 2 favorites channels collabing...I must be dreaming! Loved this video soooooo much!!
all of my favorite car channels in one place, this was a great collab.
💯
First time Matt meets his son and he almost get him killed….
Never expected this collab, definitely what we needed. ❤️
love your production work, your videos are ready for TV! So quirky and fun
The colab I never knew I needed. I watch both channels for years, lol. TYSM donut
Matt's off-road recovery channel was started in 2019 and donut in 2015. What are you talking about
@Aidan Sorry, english is not my first language. I am good at it but I still make small mistakes. I can speak fluent english, but I've been properly using it only for like 3 years. I thought a decade is a way longer period of time, so I thought its a rediculous number. Everyone would get that I am just saying that but I've actually been watching for only a few years.
Matts and his friends channels is probably the most wholesome and authentic corner of youtube
That's just because they never show us the real-life, cranky people parts. Nor the insurance fraud parts.
awesome team up with matt! a couple of my favorite channels!
Matt looks like he would give THE best hugs!
My 2 favorite channels collaborating? Flipping sweet!
It’s not just AN off-road recovery group….. it’s THE group ❤
It's like watching a dad taking his son to work. He's scared shitless but is so proud his son is there giving it his best.
I follow matt for a long time and I love what he is doing, im glad that he can be featured with you guyz
