Cold water on the fuel rail when vapor locked was a good trick!
Plate [C]
It's my favorite line. It came out so naturally with equally honest natural response🦋
10" wide rims are terrible. I'll stick to my 8's
Growing up we had a '65 Jeep Pickup that would vaporlock... heartwarming to know Jeep was able to retain that function even with EFI.
3 cheers for ethanol. Water bonds to the alcohol then the water boils in the fuel line near the exhaust manifold..
@@h.r.puffnstuff8705 only in fuel that is old or or stored improperly
@@h.r.puffnstuff8705 I mean that'll take a month or so to happen though! They drive enough that their fuel is probably pretty fresh and therefore probably has minimal water content.
@@jewsrbad 1
@@savagebob911 Not that your commentary regarding alcohol is wrong but vapor lock has been a problem ever since the mechanical fuel pump was installed to draw fuel past any hot area on the way to the engine. Odd as it might seem, prior to fuel pumps, gasoline was gravity fed to the engine before fuel pumps were invented. The Model T Ford had its tank mounted above the cowling, below the windshield, thereby above the engine.
When pumps were added to the system, mechanics were wrapping fuel lines with all sort of shields to keep the heat out. Some worked better than others but if it was hot enough, the fuel vaporized and everyone got to take a break until it cooled and re-condensed.
The best solution to date (aside from electric cars and they have their own issues...) is an electric fuel pump placed near (but NOT in the fuel tank). Fuel is pumped to the engine under pressure and there are no vapor locks. Whether the intake uses carbs or fuel injection, they all like to get their feed under pressure.
What I love about this channel is it shows such awesome, good hearted, normal people doing something they are passionate about. RUclips has pretty slim pickings for that kind of content these days, and it is so refreshing to see some quality content about something I am interested in.
Very true! That’s how i found this channel! Watching another great channel called Gridlessness! They are just as awesome! Maybe not “normal” 😆
It is really refreshing to see a channel that doesn't put others down just to make them try to look better. Just a bunch of real people doing real jobs. And just being real.
You often hear Matt say I’m here I’ll do it for free.
One of things that separates your videos from the the others is your use of a dedicated camera operator. Much better pictures and less bounce. Good job. And your quiet demeanor.
he's been working on his own Chanel it's called All terrain Randy
He's a big cranky red head. He needs to remain calm.
“Should have listened to Ed!”
I see a new line of stickers and hats. Lol
👏
Some t-shirts with that would be cool too
Great idea!
And one saying "we'll get em out"
😂😂😂❤❤❤
THAT felt like i was watching a full-length movie and it was only 15 minutes long!!!...great job, great action/adventure scenes, fantastic stunt work, people stranded and dying, walking for help in the desert, hot women, tough guys, dogs, Ed, - just fantastic!
Funny thing is out there all the women are hot, its 104 degrees.
I don´t know how i suscribed, but it is my favourite channel now
15 minutes of Matt action probably has more minutes of action in it than a 90 minute movie. Plus it has real characters.
Definitely the stunt work! Who is your double when its 111 outside?
either they figure it out themselves (i figure Matt is no dummy) or youtube has people that coach them on the structure of storytelling. the best yt channels seem to have this.
I love old Ed . He's a good natured man, I hope someone helps him stand back up . If we're lucky we'll live to be as old as he and we'll rely on our youngsters to lend a helping hand too !
I removed the clinometer installed in my Jeep because I found it was impossible to read it as I rolled down the mountainside... ;-)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMAO...I find it pretty useless as well...I still keep it though because I like to tell my passengers: "Keep track of that bubble...if we roll over, let me know what the angle was just before we tipped." hahahahaha...I love my Jeep.
Me to I disconnected it. I think it's useless to have.
Ed’s back!
Ur username is straight fire. Thanks for the update on Ed.
Did he find any Gold???
@@What..a..shambles same thing I was wondering 👊👍
Ed says 'keep watchin' that's what I'm going to do
Thanks for taking good care of Ed. He's a real treasure!
That fuel rail trick was amazing, thank you for sharing you wisdom. Thats why experience is invaluable!
Somehow RUclips recommended me your channel, and now im hooked. You have a very difficult yet fun job.
Hey Matt, thought i'd tally up all the suggestions so far for you:
800 - Thank God Ed is back, we need a gold update!
612 - You need beadlocks
611 - You need 8" rims
556 - You need a water sprayer for your rad
512 - You need to wrap your fuel rail
333 - You need an air compressor
5 - Ed needs to stop smoking.
3 - You need to clean bugs from your dome light
1 (me) - How many pounds of sand is in your jeep??
THANKS FOR THE AWESOME VIDS!!
Best comment ever
1 - There should just be check box form with every video.

I know he has a shovel, so the sand is fine. :-) Also: Enough sand for a kids sandbox?
@@57thorns Maybe I could save a fortune in Kitty Litter by moving to Hurricane UT.
I am addicted to this channel
It's easy to become an addict. Lol
look at Ed running that jack like the pro that he is.. great guy to have as a friend Matt..
3:45 "We are in the towing industry" 😂 Some people forget there are actual professionals out there.
30 seconds in and I smash the "like" button. That's the Ed effect.
That’s crazy , thought for sure going nose off like that you’d get stuck , but you made it out . Good to see Ed
The low key Chaos in this video is beautiful
An interesting note about the hooks, the European version of my car's manual calls it a tow hook, and the US version calls it a tie-down hook. A rose by any other name tows just as sweet. ;)
I can't believe a beadlock wheel company hasn't jumped on some sponsored wheels for the Banana!
My child said when she saw this latest video pop up on me feed, “Look, sand dunes. It’s the rescue guy that lives in the desert!”
Now I'm expecting giant sand worms and payment in spice.
@@SenselessUsername "Fear is the mind killer". My favorite lines from all those books!
Before someone else comments, I own a Subaru Outback 2.0D 2015 myself , and while it easily gets stuck in sand here is a tip: Disable VDC (a button that looks like anti-skid), enable X-mode if you have it, and if you own a CVT put it in manual mode and select first "gear" (actually ratio). Subarus are not real offroaders , but if you do thing right they are surprisingly capable for what it is... a regular road car! :)
Do either 8” wheels and weld on beadlocks, or even a 7” wheel and weld on beadlocks. Because keep in mind the weld on beadlocks will add some width to the wheel👌🏼
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate Ed's shirt...not many people can pull off the flower print.
Is Ed a Boogalooer?
ED for President!!🕶🐾🐶
Please! Here in Italy too!
i wouldnt wish that job on a good guy like Ed
He would open every state of the union address with a weather report!!
For Matt, have you ever considered installing spray bars across the radiator to increase cooling. They do that on racing airplanes. It would be easier than trying to pour water on the radiators for when your rig gets very hot.
Beverly Chmelik he’ll never remember to fill the system. 🤣
Racing airplanes ? Is that even a thing ?
@@nakshatrarao8157 Absolutely. Look up the “Reno Air Races.” There are others as well. People have been racing planes since at least the 1930’s.
I’ve had my 1968 Z-28 Camaro since August 3, 1976 (44 years) , at the drag strip I would run 5-6 psi in 9” slicks, these were screwed to the Cragar rims with 5 screws in each bead. Found out 3-1/2 psi wasn’t enough- plenty of launch but when I unloaded the slicks at 115 mph, we were all over the track - almost lost it!! Rim locks a must, thx for the great vids. Dad and I belonger to Sundowners 4wd club in L.A. area EVERYONE CARRIED STARTING FLUID TO INFLATE TIRES
Welcome back, Ed! You have been missed.
Notification SQUAD!!!!
But on a serious note, I found your channel back in the beginning of quarantine and it actually inspired me to not give up on my Jeep and finish building it out. Here's to hoping I can make the trip out there one day and catch you on the dunes! Just hopefully not because I have to get a tow....
Can we appreciate how this video STARTS with the Thumbnail? This channel is about to blow up.
You need a "Super Soaker" in your emergency pack for cooling the fuel rail and radiator LOL...
I can’t get enough of this channel I’ve watched every video in 1 week
National geographic: Near the yellow banana we can find a Matt and a Rudy of the caves, they are kind creatures that use to help another ones that get stuck.
Ed is a trooper 😂 that’s a real miner right there . Patience galore
Good point on the recovery hook. Most people don't know the difference between tow, recovery and shipping hooks. They all have their intended direction of load and limitations. Thanks for noting that.
Thought you were stuck for sure when the nose hit the sand. That jeep is a beast!
Love seeing Ed in the videos ! It’s just not the same when he isn’t there . What’s up Ed glad to see you doing well and back out with the boys 👍🏻
Thank you Ed for pulling me out of a sand pit near coyote gulch with your tractor and 100yds of cable back in 95!
You asked if we learned. God put us here to learn every day God bless you Matt
“So we made a call”... It happens.
And Casey responds.
Entire reason you have Ed is for his advice and experience. Didn’t take it. Got stuck. Dude!
This make me depressed about going to my desk job after the weekend.
I think of it as earning more money for next weekend!!!!!
Ed is loved by everyone, reminds me of my grandpa!!!
You guys have more fun goofing off at work than I do. I'm jealous. Welcome back Ed.
Bead locks and 8 inch wide rims. You got it right.
Yeah I don't understand why he doesn't have beadlocks for work like this. Lol.
I learn about recovery from your channel. This time I learned about vapor locking and the solution. Thanks
Vapor lock! Man, that brings back memories of being out in the middle of nowhere in southern Utah in a Jeep Cherokee.
Here's the best line from this one it's @10:30 or so..... "I wasn't even doing anything". Lol. Who hasn't said that right after tragedy? Lol
Matt: "You might be famous"
Over 3k views in 15 minutes.
That might be an understatement 😉
19k in an hour....
One hour mark 25k
2 hour mark 35k
6 hours 91k
What Matt needs is to take a can of easy start, that could have resolved both his tyre off the bead and vapour lock issue 😁😉
Yep. Works a treat. In sand there isn't even really risk for fire or anything. No reason not to do it
Gotta keep watching. Ed said! Love seeing that guy on here.
We are headed up your way at the end off the month for the first time (overlanding) your videos make me WAY more confident! I have learned so much Thank! Can't stop watching. Thank you for your content and I already have your info in my cell for just such an occasion! Haha
Bats, dogs and broken beads, oh my . Haha the banana was a sand dart.
Headline News: Group found dead in remote desert. Rescuers noted that a tire had come off its bead. Also they used all their water on the fuel rail and radiator.
I love that he still has fun goofing around off-road after doing it for years and years for a job
Beadlocks welded on 8” wheels would do you wonders with that Jeep, especially with those mile stars (they have a very soft sidewall)
Yeah I was thinking beadlocks too
looks like Matt got knew tires, those weren't the milestars at 6:26. But yes beadlocks would be the way to go if he can legally run them on the roads, I know some states it is not legal.
He needs bead gripper rims as those are highway legal. I prefer them to beadlocks anyways. They perform almost as well except in the most highly extreme cases.
@@MrChrisb83 thats only if they catch you and the cop wants to ding you for it. otherwise, you are fine. its illegal in California and there are people that run them on the street here.
@@Stackali yea it's not very common to get a ticket for them. Maybe he could paint the ring and all the bolts black it'll look like all the other fake beadlocks.
"Did anyone learn anything?"
Yeah. Listen to Ed.
Buy a Toyota
O.K. I just found your channel couple days ago and been vinging on it.
I was stationed at Dugway PG for a while when i was in the Army.And did a little bit of exploring out there.
i love your videos you are a very classy guy and make it all look like easy work.
Oh and i also love that yellow banana cruiser you got there,
Ed is a very cool guy too...God bless you all and keep it rolling.
Glad to see Ed back hope his gold trip was successful! Best to all of you
someone needs to follow Ed around while gold mining and record him, I would watch that!!
you'd probably watch anything
@@jessespad anything with Ed in it... Kinda rude...
I’ve got 7 or so Jeeps with 4.0’s and do a lot of trail riding/rock crawling. Go ahead and add some insulation between the exhaust manifold and intake manifold. Someone sells a nice pre cut kit for around the injectors as well. You should also look into the Ford Explorer fan mod.
Tony Arce Strong aluminium foil makes a great DIY heat shield in minutes.
It's great to have Good Friends you can call to Help!!!!!! All the Best from Canada
That's why we love our 70 series Land cruisers in Straya 😉
Great to see you having fun with the XJ! Makes me want one as well! 🤩
After everything Ed has to say "Anyways we will get them out" 👌
Is that Ed always has a positive attitude and says so after the weather, we will get them out
The air quality index has me trapped indoors and to pass the time got into binge watching Matt's recovery vids. Several times I commented they don't seem to air down far enough...well this last video told me why. I used to run 8" steel wheels and lost a driver front at about the same angle on the Ducy Ershim trail, now I run Birddog wheels, 10" wide that have a little bump on a wide bead land to help maintain the seal. Burped some air but have not lost a bead yet. That's not the reason I decided to reply to this video. I was watching the cold water being poured on a hot fuel rail, maybe stock fuel injectors, over the intake manifold and dripping onto the hot exhaust manifold, not that they are prone to cracking or anything, but, a problem I had on my 03 Rubicon straight 6. Remembering when it was new, that problem did not exist. 17 years and 70k miles later it would happen when I fired it up to drive it 20 feet, kill it to shut the gate, since it is a stick and the e-brake won't hold it on 5 degree incline with 35s. It was getting embarrassing. A friend of mine, (who has had his hot rod on the cover of HotRod magazine 2 times), mentioned I cannot have vapor lock at 40psi. Doesn't that make sence? After much research, I stumbled across K suspension. They have 12 hole injector upgrades with a lifetime warranty. Imagine that? They only use a very small percent of extra fuel, My stock one holers were rated at 247cc and the 12 hole are 249cc. I grilled these guys with emails and they responded every time, since I have a SoCA street legal jeep. There are claims of improved fuel economy and HP, but I can't tell, what I can tell is the heat sink issue, vapor lock thingy, no longer exists, and that was what I was looking to cure. To be fair, it could have been a combination of my stock coil rail, which was a waste spark system, meaning it sparked every rotation. My smog guy suggested new injectors and new coil rail, so I also did their OEM Viper ignition coil mod and wire retro fit, as the replacement OEM coil rails seem to last only a few years and are expensive. The only issue with the coil was the wire diagram was off, so don't do this upgrade on the side of the road, unless you are good at viewing diagrams in reverse and upside down. Maybe request the proper wire diagram after the order. Hope this tip helps you and I wear XL 8D
MY wife I met in 1996 and married 8 weeks later yes that long ago:) had a huge love of Utah we live in Colorado I had zero idea what a beautiful state is it enough said. The main point here is there are a few sane places in this world where starting a fire in a business that people worked hard for is a pastime. SO THANK YOU!!!!
Matt: did anybody learn anything from that? Ed: I didn’t learn a thing.
Lady was super casual..like who cares if my car is stuck I'm on RUclips.😎
Not to mention pretty damn easy on the eyes. Lol
@@bigleague6723 Imma have to agree wholeheartedly with you
It's hot out there....
4 "ideas" for you Matt. 1. A really good ice chest. 2. Paddle tires (2 rear min.) with "bead locks"..lol. 3. Use the lowest octane gas available to help prevent vapor lock. 4. Get a smaller trailer!
Subarus are all time AWD... "I switched it to awd" 😂
Surprised no one else called them out on that.
I laughed at that one too
Maybe he means he pushed the X-mode button.
I was looking for this comment lol
Older ones had selectable 4wd with low range. Beastly.
Oof, lucky that headlight washer didn't break when you pulled that
I wish Ed would quit those dang cigarettes! Maybe too late now though. Watched my dad die of emphysema… It’s a hard way to go.🥺
Ed must be like 80 years old so it wont matter if he quit
@@Schnauzer976 Nope, smoking cigarettes just make you look like shit. Saw the same thing with my grandma, she always looked 20 years older than she was due to years of smoking. Watched her die a slow painful death, gone before she was 72.
Ed is actually 37. Cigarettes age you prematurely.
Zittro Ed’s not a day over 45. It’s the lack of sunscreen that’s the issue here ;)
@@Schnauzer976 Probably true, but lungs do start healing nearly immediately after someone quits, might add some good time to his life.
Subarus have two holes on R/L on the underside of the front end right in the frame for pulling i wanna say about 12in from the bumper. that tow hook though also goes directly to the frame so i dont see why u cant pull from their either. only difference is if u go under ur hooking right to the fram vs to a hook that screws in. Just FYI i see you pulling subarus a lot and always using the hooks. but you dont necessarily have to. i know it can be annoying having to get it every time.
I love how Matt NEVER gets mad or yells or anything the one time i seen him get angry he like barely raised his voice and still apologized to everyone.
I bet Ed has the most amazing stories to tell
3:19 that was no sensor. that was part of the headlight cleaning system.
The blinker fluid 😄
OH THANK ED! I keep a “Viair” portable air pump in my truck, it has alligator clips on it so you can run off the car battery. Might want one of those on the rig? Great videos!!
Matt has a small compressor, he didn't bring it this time.
Finding these old videos because I have watched them all . Matt's fixed all the bugs on the Banana now
From one 4 wheeler to another ; My hat goes off !
Up for 36 minutes I think this is the earliest I've ever been haha good job guys as usual keep it sunny side up and greesy side down and be safe
Curious if that Subaru actually could have made it out on its own like the last one :)
I commented about it also. I think it could have. EASILY.
Probably just needed the right driver!
Damn you! I was making progress on my bathroom remodel and someone texted me. After I checked that message, your "new" video notification popped up and I saw the picture of your truck in a f***ed up position. I had to find out what the hell happened.
As a result, I ended up taking a 30+ minute break to watch that video, and then ANOTHER one of your videos.
I don't even do off-roading in my Jeep or my truck but for some reason I have really enjoyed watching your recovery videos.
I have always owned a Grand Cherokee for the past 20 years, I've gone through several of them, always buying used. I also have owned multiple other four-wheel drive pickup trucks. My Grand Cherokees have always been substantially better in poor road conditions and I have used my Grand Cherokees to pull much larger AWD SUVs & 4x4 trucks (Ford, Dodge, Chevy and Toyota) from snowy) out of muddy ditches and embankments.
I just got rid of one of my Grand Cherokees that had over 340,000 miles on it and still ran just fine (not uncommon for the straight 6-cylinder engine in older Grand Cherokees) after a LOT if abuse.
I'd love to be able to upgrade my existing Grand Cherokee (V-8) with some of the off-roading that yours has.
Now damn it, I'm going to turn off my notification so I can get some work done here in the house.
I look forward to watching you continuing to rescue the non Grand Cherokee owners out there. LOL
Climbing down that ledge I couldn't believe it wasn't stuck. Great video guys.
Whoa! Can we get a walk around of Rudy’s jeep??
You had me at "stranded"
I love seeing good ol Ed being around!
I can't believe this site is free this is awesome
Matt try using a hand sprayer when your jeep overheats, holds about a gallon of water
Even better hook up a line with a sprayer to the wiper pump, the washer fluid will cool better than water
Subaru’s all have symmetrical AWD, there always in AWD. “X-mode” equipped helps it crawl if they have it
Mike And they all get stuck.
Got to turn off traction control too, it would help?
The sand was to soft and he had street tires
They all have useless CVT...CVT=CANNOT VECTOR TORQUE.
There is one model without AWD: the BRZ. Which you would have to be nuts to drive on sand like that.
Ed the water is flowing over here in Ca, big rain came filled stuff up, what was dry and empty is flowing again, hoping to get in on the American river asap and get some color in my pan. I grew up doing summers on claims up at forks of the salmon, no mostly hunting the gpa a claims mid state. you guys are an awesome team ! keep up the good work !
I learned that the $69 12v harbor freight air compressor I always carry in my vehicle would be a good addition to the bananna. It is so useful I have bought one for everyone in my family as a gift and put an air gauge and a plug kit in the case with it when I gave it. Did the same thing a couple years back with a nice set of jumper cables.
The lesson: If you go looking for trouble, you just might find it. On the other hand, offroading would be really boring if you learn that lesson.
It is kind of the point. Take perfectly good vehicle, drive it in such a way that it either breaks or gets stuck. Then throw a few more hundred or thousands of dollars at the vehicle. Rinse and repeat.
But IN THAT EXTREME HEAT ,,,,, Yikes !!!!!
That little cave is slightly better than "living in a van down by the river."
At least the van down by the river has access to cool water!
I always tell my friends the best 4X4 ers use auto matics. I said know one who off roads technical terrain wants to be using a clutch in CLUTCH situations. Watching these guys makes me realize if that jeep was a standard most of these places would be hell with a standard gear box.
I keep underestimating your skills. Driving and problem solving skills.
Holy Crap! Lol Did Ed say he almost hit a bear then a guy on a motorcycle did hit and keep going?! Lmao! Ed is the man! Did I hear that right? What a great experience happy he had a nice trip!
This video reminded me of "Flight of the Phoenix." Matt has to act more guilt ridden though like Jimmy Stewart.
A real Classic! Both of them.
The bumper attach points aren't for domestic transport via rail or truck, but they are used when vehicles are shipped on vessels from overseas. My 08 BMW 3 series had one extra on the floor next to the driver's seat that a port worker threw into the car when they moved it off the boat, it was slightly different from the one in the trunk. (I specifiy no dealer prep and have a real detailer prep on any vehicle I buy new, so they are all white plastic and same as they left the boat). There are a number of RUclips vids on overseas vessel car shipping that show the yank points being used for Transocean transport tie down.
Ed!!!!!! Glad to see him back.
