yeah he's a lot more efficient at his job now with all the equipment (and not being morally opposed to winching) but i miss the struggle in the early videos ngl
I don't think they needed to go through all the fancy rope and winch work with the snatch block on the boulder. All they needed to do was back up again, shorten the tow rope to about 4 feet, take the corner a little wider with both vehicles, and they could have flown past that tree at 40 mph.
Yeah, they were always going to use the steerable axles, but remember the original plan was to hard mount the steering arm. That would have been a shame, glad they made the right call
I'll question many things Matt does but his ability to design an off-roader (tho, maybe not a Bombie, LOL) or take care of his family and animals are not among them. The last two are a good sign of character.
Peanut is the smartest about finding ways to cool down. When the other dogs are standing in a puddle she's trying to dive in it to get as wet as possible. She'll dig holes in the hot sand to find some cooler sand to lay in, and cool down. Hell of a dog. Rarely if ever is she more than 3 feet away from Matt, unless she's leading the way on a recovery of course. Matt, you and LIzzie once talked about how you found her on the side of the road, can you talk about that? Do the dogs come home with you after work, or do they live at the shop?
Them finding Peanut was shown in one of their recovery videos. Peanut was found in the shade under a road bridge over a dirt road, if I remember it correctly it was fairly close to Hurricane. The dogs live at the shop (with Ed) AFAIK.
this was one of the best recovery videos in a while, amazing scenery, treacherous terrain, the skill portrayed by Matt and the crew, neatly edited up into a great half-hour watch!
Matt..I think it’s great that your sons are getting more and more involved in the business. It’s great to father and sons have a excellent relationships
Today’s Tuesday, July 2 I live in a rural community, mostly farmland, barbecue and some lunch and Matt and his crew rolled by both trucks on flatbeds. They were down at my neighbors house buying some Corvair parts. I jumped in my jeep and went and said hello the funny thing is I watched their video yesterday for the very first time, totally amazing. Very happy to meet them.
Everytime Matt says I'm gonna turn the rig around ,I'm thinking no fricking way that wrecker can turn around there, and every time it does ...just the coolest rig ever
All of the recovery videos are so professional and entertaining, but the best part is how the whole crew seems to enjoy the work. The smiles from Colby and Jake on the last one says the like their jobs. That's a testament to how you run things Matt.
I feel the same way about the Grand Canyon. It's almost too big to really be able to grasp what you're looking at. My favorite canyon is the snake river canyon in Idaho. The land on both sides is flat and even, and so you don't see it coming, and then there's just this massive hole in the groud suddenly in front of you. It's amazing.
HAHAHA at about 15:50 I was like WOW you can really hear those new gears then 5 seconds later Matt is like these things are unbearable. NICE JOB Jake!!
So happy for you Matt. I got to work with my son for a year. One of the greatest times of my life. Great to see the relationships and character building !
I had to thirteen point turn a rental car with a bad clutch on a dead end road facing a cliff over the Fuataleafu River in Patagonia once. This just brought back my PTSD, cameras never do drop offs justice.
The wrecker is something else , having the rear steering is a game changer . A slithering snake with elephant feet is apropos . Thanks for taking us along
When I was about seventeen, my cousin's Scout troop did a raft trip down the Colorado river. We took about three weeks on half a dozen rafts and a canoe, some twenty odd boys. It remains one of my best memories fifty years later. I've been back a few times, last time about 15 years ago, I reckon it's about time for another trip, took about ten thousand miles last time. I love the views that are constant and consistent from this channel.
I can concur with Matt's assessment of the Grand Canyon; it is epic, awesome, and worthy of anyone's bucket list. At the same time, I found Zion, Bryce, and a few off-menu locations to be even more memorable.
We were hanging out near Moab, and were scheduled to rafting on the Colorado. We woke up to temps in the 30s and rain. Fortunately, the outfitters let us reschedule. We drove out looking for something to do and ended up at Dead Horse Point State Park. Our buddies went into the visitors center to pay our fee, and we walked up to the stone wall at the edge of the parking lot. Our collective jaws dropped. Unbelievable scenery. Dead Horse Point is known as the Grand Canyon of Utah.
Matt is obviously a great guy ...but the way he stays in tune with his dogs is beautiful.....I have found that the way someone treats animals is a great barometer that shows true heart...luvu guys ❤️🇺🇸
One of the many reasons I am such a big fan.....your channel got me into watching more about trucks than ever.....now into trophy trucks and the immense technology that make all of that possible. I am always in awe of watching the travel of the suspension of trucks..the engineering is what leaves me shaking my head....just amazing.....on the trails that you do recoveries it reminds me that folks that are taking trips into national parks....with vehicles that are not really set up to do that.....we find how many trucks have no business being there....many of those vehicles need huge suspension upgrades in order to get in and out of there unharmed.
If on the Flying Monkey trail, The petrified log was probably in Triassic (about 250 million year old) Moenkopi formation. It was near the coast…. Beach front property! “The general deposition setting was sluggish rivers traversing a flat, featureless coastal plain to the sea. The low relief meant that the shoreline moved great distances with changes of sea level or even with the tides.”
love the content, need to see Tom Tom and Matt out on jobs more and on the build My favorite show on You Tube. Thanks Matt to you and your team, PS miss lizzy
Volcanic cinders, are great for snow ice covered roads what we used to use in Central Oregon till all the Californians moved here, and complained about how it dried up and crushed up and turned to dust they couldn’t hang with it
@@PGXPPR Dude. Everyone everywhere complains about people from other places. It's lazy and gets old. Plus it's America...you don't get to dictate where people choose to move to. I'm genuinely sick of attitudes like yours.
The fact that your kids listen to you truly trust you and do what you say to guide them makes it work and shows teamwork I have done hard jobs with good listening ppl and not so good and the difference is night and day lol God bless you all amen
That 1st one on the cliff turning that huge truck around? So brave. I wouldn't have even driven it back up. Now when I was young I'd balance on any rock or beam over a long drop, but as you get older the fear sets in, no idea why Matt is not scared. Plus why would the client even drive down there? Wow.
@@kurtloptien185 It sounded like he was trying to push that rock out of the way with the front of the Toyota and then it started to slide and ended up on the rock. Maybe it works and at the time seemed like a good idea (60% of the time, it works every time😁) but it seemed like a dumb move from the comfort of my keyboard.
Worlds Largest Off Road Wrecker is a BEAST!!! When I saw the trail and MATT said he was going to turn around, I thought "NO WAY!" He did, and made it look easy! THANKS MORR TEAM!
Jake is really becoming an important part of the team. Such a personable young man. He should be more involved with the crew and be in more videos. Good job Jake!
I grew up in Louisiana and live here today but in 92-93 I moved to Layton and worked at Hill AFB and I was in awe the whole two years. The mountains are bigger than life to someone from flat swampland. I loved it never knew summers was so nice without humidity 😂😂😂
Growing up in anthracite country in Pennsylvania they called those things from the burned coal clinkers, and the crap from the mines that got separated out of the coal (I think technically referred to as culm) was what we called the "cinders".
Still burning thru old vids. Re-watching mostly, but now and then I find one I haven't seen. Matt's being unimpressed with the Grand Canyon is relatable. I grew up with Grand Coulee Dam as a feature locally. As a kid I could not understand why people were coming from across the country and world just to see the dam..... it was just normal....
You can fit all of Mahatten in the Grand Canyon, and it would take 3 stacked Empire State Buildings to reach the top. The Grand Canyon is mind-blowing. 😮
There are soooo many great things happening here. The trust everyone shows in each other. The last recovery with the new guys being prepared to have a ago, Matt being prepared to teach & take his time, then the new guys being prepared to learn. It's an all round great experience as far as I'm concerned! 👍
The Grand Canyon is over a mile deep in some places (6,000 ft.), 18 miles at the widest, and 277 miles long. So yeah, it's a big difference from the spot you guys were in. For example, you can fit 19 Statues of Liberty stacked on top of each other.
I also remember seeing it as a child and not understanding what I was seeing and wondering what all the fuss was about. As an adult, and knowing a lot more about the canyon, AND using the imaginative mind, it is AMAZING.
@@mediocreman2 honestly the only drawback to visiting the Grand Canyon are the crowds in the busier months. I tend to only visit the south rim in the off season (and can actually afford a hotel room there) and stick to the north rim in the summer. The canyon is mind blowing to me, no matter how many times I go.
Recently I watched a 1 year old video on another channel I really like and there was this viewer comment confidently stating that Matt's wrecker is just a fancy looking toy that doesn't work (in comparison to another wonderful off road wrecker everybody knows). Today I would like to celebrate the first anniversary of proving the naysayers wrong time and time again. 🎉
Utah has to be one of the most beautiful places in America. I'm in Massachusetts we have lots of good walking trails and offroading through the boondocks but you can't beat those sites.
Always look forward to your videos. The straps had this retired truck driver really overwhelmed with my OCD. Best wishes for the new project. God Bless.
Some great recoveries! That old recovery with Paul on that trail is one of my favorites. I've gone back and watched it a few times. There's just something about watching the banana work.
The best off road wrecker right there. Why do they call them wreckers anyway? Shouldn’t it be unwrecker or dewrecker or something like that? Maybe wrecktifier? That’s it, it’s an off road wrecktifier.
Train your Spotters to point which way you need to have the REAR of the vehicle go. Use the Walkie Talkies when towing and keep the rope taut. You might try some W90 hypoid oil and perhaps some Positraction Whale OIl in that nasty Transfer case.
Do you think that you cand make up some quick? Disconnect seats that you can put on the back of the record on either side. Maybe that would help your seating problem.
So we got a call. In todays episode, TomTom forgets his calculator, Jake becomes a Shaolin Monk, and Matt shows signs of being cold for the first time ever.
2018 I led a fire crew from Yosemite to help cover Zion. One of our assignments was to provide a fire engine at the “flying monkey “ for pilot ejection seat testing. One in a life time experience! Watching your channel I see lot of familiar places that I saw during my two weeks in Southern Utah. Amazing place I hope to come back for relaxation!
If you didn't use rubber isolators when mounting that Hero case then the whole vehicle will be a sounding board amplifying the gear noise. Also there is a rubber isolator for the driveshaft that on Itallian vehicles is called a Guibo that does limit straight cut gear noise from resonating off drive shafts. Of course there is the option to pull the gears and better micro polish them along with better lubricants too however better isolation is whats mostly needed. Best!
Your videos always bring me joy. Congratulations on your passing, I'm already praying for your future customer service, you bless their lives with your knowledge and passion!
Park info is spot on. Just got back from doing the loop yesterday. We should have run it in reverse (starting at the Grand Canyon) since there are so many other places that are similar. By the time we got there it wasn't underwhelming, but expected.
I work for Collins Aerospace and have been to Hurricane Mesa Test Facility (HMTF), and I was blown away by how beautiful the area was. And I can confirm before they slowed the rocket sled with water brakes, the braking system consisted of launching the sled off the mesa 😅
Idea for extra seating, use beach bike seats because they are comfortable and just weld a couple of seat rod and clamps to be able to remove seat off back of wrecker when not in use. You can store behind seat in cab.
Once again excellent recoveries. Those headset radios would have been ideal for the razr recovery. No yelling out the window to the towed vehicle for braking/etc. The 4-wheel steer on the wrecker is a game changer, without it that U-turn on the top of the cliff would have been just about impossible if not impossible.
Yea Colby hit the nail on the head. Recently moved to TX from Socal for a better life and cheaper living. I love TX, but every square inch of land is privately owned. I very much miss the freedom of just offroading out in the mountains and dirt biking, camping for free every weekend. Out in TX you have to pay to get into private parks anytime you wanna do that stuff.
my mind was blown in the opposite direction, lived all my life in Texas and now moved to New Mexico, there is SO MUCH AMAZING FREE PUBLIC-ACCESS LAND for offroading, running, camping, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and everything else I didn't even slightly comprehend the issue of 100% Texas being privately owned until I got somewhere else
@14:23 - I totally agree. Years ago I took a trip out west going as far as 4 corners. By the time we got to the Grand Canyon I had the exact same reaction. "Ehh" I had already been desensitized by the drive over, spent 5 minutes on the look out, and drove off. Do the park justice and plan ahead to spend some time there. I missed a great opportunity back then.

Jake's temperament and "can-do" attitude is awesome. All of you guys are just cool and good people.
IDK he kind of acts like a over acting youtuber sometimes feels forced to me but that may me sincere idk not my favorite character on here.
The best design decision on the wrecker was the back wheel steering, that saves you guys so much time and trouble it's amazing
Yeah, they were always going to use the steerable axles, but remember the original plan was to hard mount the steering arm. That would have been a shame, glad they made the right call
Next best decision would be some reverse jump seats on the tool boxes.
Also the 7 winches. Everything is perfect. Just the gas keeps not getting topped up 😂
I think this is like the only case where it's not a gimmick. Mat used it every time... Makes the wrecker so nimble
@@russbell6418yep, you beat me to it, I never did get why that was not part of the design.
Watching Matt stop and give Peanut water BEFORE doing anything else was cool. That’s the sign of a real man with a big heart. KUDOS MATT!!

I think they live with Ed at the shop because they mentioned Ed was feeding the dog's too much so they had to give Ed portions for him to feed them
That's why their better than humans Mr elveee my friend

@@Dlutheran The dogs found out he was easily guilted into feeding them extra.

The maneuverability of the wrecker never ceases to amaze me. And the skill of your son's continues to amaze also. Your trust is well placed!
Four wheel steer is fantastic, I only have it in my john deere.
put it 4wheel drive...just jump start the side by side with a good batt
@@395joe8 Didn't Matt say the customer blew the motor?
Matt's experience and knowledge is the whole key.

Nice touch showing Tex Johnston barrel rolling the 707 prototype to illustrate your maxim of”never unhook your trailer!”

My favorite is the Black Canyon in Colorado. So deep and narrow, you can’t see much of the bottom.
Agreed. Visually it’s tough to grasp. Walking through from rim to rim gives a great perspective of its size. 22 miles and 6000’ of elevation change.
I think my favorite is Bryce Canyon. Point your camera somewhere, anywhere, you've got a postcard.

Another great video, thank you. I enjoy the vibe Jake brings to videos he's in.
Always look forward to your videos. The straps had this retired truck driver really overwhelmed with my OCD. Best wishes for the new project. God Bless.
"I got three more at home just as good as this one!" Such is life in the American Frontier.
He actually said "almost as good". Hmmmm
The technical skills combined with the ability of that rig is absolutely amazing to watch!
Good luck in freedom 500 can’t wait for recovery heli
Matt's REALLY OFF-ROAD Recovery Helicopter
Watched you since your worked for Ed! Probably never see this post, matt vs heavyd with basic equipment who will win? You got it 👍 in my opinion
What are we recovering, and where did it get stuck?
Most impressive turnaround to date
I agree about the parks. Canyonlands, Bryce and Zion are breathtaking.
Is that a Matt’s off road recovery band aid on Kaulins neck? If it isn’t, it should be! The irony is phenomenal!😁
I thought it was a tattoo.
I was trying to figure out if he cut himself shaving or perhaps was covering something up 😂
I was thinking the same thing. I just found the thought of Matt’s off road band aid ironic given his propensity for injury.
Some great recoveries!
That old recovery with Paul on that trail is one of my favorites. I've gone back and watched it a few times. There's just something about watching the banana work.
The best off road wrecker right there. Why do they call them wreckers anyway? Shouldn’t it be unwrecker or dewrecker or something like that? Maybe wrecktifier? That’s it, it’s an off road wrecktifier.
Because they are picking up wrecked vehicles
Your next question will be why is it called a wrecking yard.😅
Train your Spotters to point which way you need to have the REAR of the vehicle go. Use the Walkie Talkies when towing and keep the rope taut. You might try some W90 hypoid oil and perhaps some Positraction Whale OIl in that nasty Transfer case.
Do you think that you cand make up some quick? Disconnect seats that you can put on the back of the record on either side. Maybe that would help your seating problem.
They are called safari seats and I agree would fix a dangerous practice
@@hb0292 We shall see.
If they did they would just forget them every time they go on a call
Yes, jump seats for the wrecker
I like the fact you always have a good time, despite the fact that what you're doing is actually pretty stressful looking.
Where is TomTom ? He is missed.
He sprouted wings and his own youtube channel
I'm here in Southern Oregon and almost all of our off pavement rds are cinder. They also use it on rds for winter traction.
Yep I grew up in Klamath Falls in the 50's it was everywhere asphalt, shoulders, unpaved, roads gardens,
So we got a call. In todays episode,
TomTom forgets his calculator,
Jake becomes a Shaolin Monk, and
Matt shows signs of being cold for the first time ever.
Howdy Colin! Thanks for the summary as always 😂
@@JohnFL Hehe, Hey JonJohnJonathonJo
2018 I led a fire crew from Yosemite to help cover Zion.
One of our assignments was to provide a fire engine at the “flying monkey “ for pilot ejection seat testing. One in a life time experience!
Watching your channel I see lot of familiar places that I saw during my two weeks in Southern Utah. Amazing place I hope to come back for relaxation!
HUGE shout out to the whole MORR team.
If you didn't use rubber isolators when mounting that Hero case then the whole vehicle will be a sounding board amplifying the gear noise. Also there is a rubber isolator for the driveshaft that on Itallian vehicles is called a Guibo that does limit straight cut gear noise from resonating off drive shafts.
Of course there is the option to pull the gears and better micro polish them along with better lubricants too however better isolation is whats mostly needed.
Best!
Haha i thought homeboy had a face/neck tattoo 😄 its just a band-aid !
Good, I felt sick when I first saw it.
I thought it was a tattoo also.
Where’s Tom Tom?
He’s got his own channel @tomtomsgarage
Please MAT don't start filling your dash with them silly ducks.
Why do I see those ducks everywhere? What is it with them?
@@volvo09 It's a Jeep thing. If you get a Jeep, your friends (and even strangers) will start giving you ducks to put on your dash.
I can’t tell which is funnier…
“Never unhook a trailer” or some of your other comments.
I love the videos and comments. Entertaining as heck.
Your videos always bring me joy. Congratulations on your passing, I'm already praying for your future customer service, you bless their lives with your knowledge and passion!
Park info is spot on. Just got back from doing the loop yesterday. We should have run it in reverse (starting at the Grand Canyon) since there are so many other places that are similar. By the time we got there it wasn't underwhelming, but expected.
Man, I thought my atlas was loud at highway speeds. That hero case makes it sound quiet in comparison lol
I got to say I was starting to get car sick watching this one rough roads ahead! I love it 😊
Matt, you're amazing at what you do. I was on the edge of my seat watching you turn that truck around
I work for Collins Aerospace and have been to Hurricane Mesa Test Facility (HMTF), and I was blown away by how beautiful the area was.
And I can confirm before they slowed the rocket sled with water brakes, the braking system consisted of launching the sled off the mesa 😅
I don't know what one of those RZR weigh but the banana is a beast pulling it up that incline.
Nice recovery work... on BOTH jobs!! Those were some tight trails!! I still can't believe how nimble the wrecker is. That's awesome!! Great work!!!
Idea for extra seating, use beach bike seats because they are comfortable and just weld a couple of seat rod and clamps to be able to remove seat off back of wrecker when not in use. You can store behind seat in cab.
Once again excellent recoveries. Those headset radios would have been ideal for the razr recovery. No yelling out the window to the towed vehicle for braking/etc. The 4-wheel steer on the wrecker is a game changer, without it that U-turn on the top of the cliff would have been just about impossible if not impossible.
Yea Colby hit the nail on the head. Recently moved to TX from Socal for a better life and cheaper living. I love TX, but every square inch of land is privately owned. I very much miss the freedom of just offroading out in the mountains and dirt biking, camping for free every weekend. Out in TX you have to pay to get into private parks anytime you wanna do that stuff.
my mind was blown in the opposite direction, lived all my life in Texas and now moved to New Mexico, there is SO MUCH AMAZING FREE PUBLIC-ACCESS LAND for offroading, running, camping, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and everything else
I didn't even slightly comprehend the issue of 100% Texas being privately owned until I got somewhere else
@14:23 - I totally agree. Years ago I took a trip out west going as far as 4 corners. By the time we got to the Grand Canyon I had the exact same reaction. "Ehh" I had already been desensitized by the drive over, spent 5 minutes on the look out, and drove off. Do the park justice and plan ahead to spend some time there. I missed a great opportunity back then.
Brought a tear to my eyes. Good neighbors are hard to find.
I drove my Accord to the top of that paved section by the Restricted Test area. It’s so steep and challenging. Fantastic views. 🇨🇦
