Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery! 
Авто/Мото
12 hrs. is a very long time out in the weather. Glad you folks saved them.
Oh, you are funny. Temperature is only about freezing point.
Still stand by what I said early last year that if you guy's weren't around both the sand dunes and mountains around you would claim a lot more lives. The work you do is truly essential for people to enjoy the great outdoors, also always have water in your car even if your not going out in the middle of know where.
All people ask me now when they see my Cherokee is "Have you seen Matt's Off Road Recovery?" Proudly I tell them "Yes, yes I have!" You're making all of us Cherokee owners proud. Keep up the good work!
Rudy is a date knight in shining armor. “My hero!” 🚘 “Matt’s hero, too.”
Sand or snow no matter where you go. Matt and Rudy are on duty to make the tow.
Stay Happy, Safe and Healthy Everyone 💕
It’s cool to see Matt teaching his son how to do recoveries and making him do it. Wish my dad would’ve taught me something useful lol.
4:02 - Really like the way Rudy steered into the dune, to avoid running over the rope. Great example of knowledge and experience showing these guys to be among the best at what they do!
Guys, I love what you do for folks and dig the channel you’ve put together. I’m the dude who was waving at y’all yesterday in Hurricane before I turned into Taco Bell at lunchtime. My employee called me a fan girl...I guess I’ll wear that badge proudly.
"What do we got here? Oh nothing. Good!" 🤣 I've been furloughed for almost a year and this gave me good flashbacks of work haha.
Winter time: ALWAYS carry a shovel. Clothes. Food/water. A shovel can get you out of a lot ( ask me how I know lol)
I was fishing once in my kayak, somehow managed to lose my paddle but i had this tiny little shovel i used to dig banks for worms as i went along, That shovel allowed me to paddle about 3 miles upstream back to my Jeep so i agree 100% a shovel can get you out of a lot of situations
Im in Australia and same rules here and NEVER leave your vehicle
Meanwhile Matt doesn't even bring a jacket.
Many years ago I put together a survival tote to carry in the trunk all the time. In the PNW, you never know what the weather can throw at you and with the traffic situation as it is, you never know when you could be sitting in a miles long parking lot for hours. Water, energy bars, paper towels, blankets, flashlights, reading material, etc. I also threw an empty backpack just in case I need to walk away from the car. Transfer everything into the backpack and you have something to help you out. I have never had to use it, but it sure gives me peace of mind. It always amazes me that people go where they do with no thought of "what if". No water at all and you are driving into a desert sandy area? Wow!
I keep a small shovel a box of water and snacks
The snow rescue duo must have been a little worried to see Matt immediately get stuck in the snow 5 feet in front of them.
Yeppers!
He only took the risk because he had help with him. Still shows what the snow was like.
Matt fell in that rut like an over dramatic toddler 😂😂😂
Hahahaha I was thinking that to!
8:38
I think he rolled his ankle ):
@@sourbrothers73 oh no, hope not. That definitely does not feel good
Too many people with nothing to do but watch Matt and company on a work day? YESSSSS
still in lockdown here in the Netherlands, so yeah XD
Ive been watching the channel forever now Love it been out of work for almost a year after 20 years with same factory moneys hard tight but my amazing wife still bought me MATT'S OFF ROAD RECOVERY shirt for my birthday Love you guys keep em straight ED
Its always great to see when most of the family goes for a rescue.
Rudy good for your and your girl friend she must be real good to go on a recovery with you. Having fun I hope.
Rudy, next time Matt asked you for a weather report, tell him diminishing light until night, continuing dark till morning…
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery The Weather brick! It stands on an outside window, if you can see it and the brick is hot the sun is out and the weather fine. If the brick is wet , its raining, if the brick is cold , it's icy, if the brick is under white stuff its snowning. If you can't see the brick it is either dark or foggy. And if the brick isn't there, bloody hell that was some wind:-)
@@51WCDodge the forecast is “clear to partly cloudy and mostly dark tonight”
You may be referring to the Hippy Dippy Weatherman, Al Sleet. Circa ‘60ish.
@@claudegraham4770 Current United Kingdom weather forcast 6th Febraury 2021 , tommorow there will 1 yes 1 whole inch of SNOW in London. DOOM is forecast, people will starve and eat thier children , transport will grind to a halt! Expected Duration of the disaster ? TWO, yes TWO whole days :-)
@@51WCDodge 👍👍🏻🤣😅😂
Matt doesn't care, he just laid down in the snow with nothing but a shirt on.
You guys are awesome!!!!!
Matt is the honey badger of the towing people. :D
Pretty sure he had pants socks boots and underpants on also. If he only had on a shirt the video would definitely get demonitized. Would make for a pretty hilarious video though
I know what you mean; it is cold enough to snow, but Matt just has on a shirt. He's one tough son-of-a-gun. Great video!
@@AlBorland3877 ...hehe, makes me think of my friend Chaddes GSD/Lycan Shepherd 7 month old. His site is 1st508th Airborne if interested.
Matt is like me except younger; I wear shorts and tee-shirt year round; I'll wear a long sleeve shirt as a jacket if it gets "cold"
I'm watching all these old videos now. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
Those girls should count themselves lucky. A lot of tow companies would've said roads closed till spring. But Matt's off road got them out. 💯💯
There should be a rule that anything with the word "Jeep" on it has to have recovery points.
Definitely anything with a “Trail Rated” badge
I think any AWD, 4WD should. Because AWD/4WD means you can get it stuck wirse then most 2wds. Question. Why are some pulls they put staff behind the wheel? Others the owner? I have seen them pull the owner (who seems to know how) to put their person in. This gal wasn’t seeming off road capable... they had her drive?.
I have food, water in car (winter gear) going 20 miles to town. We go up in mountains. Staying overnight shouldn’t be a issue. We have 2 liters of water when unloading. (If above freezing it stays in)
WHY? jeeps never get stuck.
Jeep... true Jeep’s like the CJ, YJ, XJ, ZJ, etc have dedicated recovery points. The Fiats *ahem* Jeep’s dont. They’re literally fiats with a Jeep badge
The wife bought a 2015 Cherokee and I thought I could just add tow hooks. It would cost about $1200.00 to add them to a regular Cherokee. Stupid design.
“What have we got here? Oh nothing! Oh good!” Cracked me up!
the weather channel is my fav channel, luv the weather updates, never stop doing those.
I grew up in the Colorado mountains and have been caught by surprise by snow drifts before. I remember thinking I could drive right through one "small" one and, well, it was hard as a rock. Fortunately, 30 minutes of digging and doing the rocking back & forth thing got me back out. Impossible to be too judgmental of those young kids.
Matt, would love an episode where you act as tour guide to some of these colorful places: "Zen rock", "Flintstone House", etc
He could start a second channel with that and off road diving instruction.... you know, in all his free time. ;)
You guys are awesome.. thank you guys for all you do.. always going above and beyond
Rudy how lucky you are to have such a wonderful father, I’m sure you know that.
WOW! went from watching videos on mini IPad to watching on 60" television gives a whole new perspective on the videos might have to watch all them over again on the television.
She looked stressed out when you guys pulled up. Scary situation and glad you guys saved the day!
When the sign says road closed...they mean it! YUP.
But they were "special".
I watch Ron Pratt (Midwest Trucking) and Matt's off road recovery like a religion. Funny thing is, as soon as either post a new video, they get about the same number of dislikes. I'm pretty much convinced they both have a small group of haters with nothing better to do than punch the dislike button as soon as you guys put up a video. Fans give you "LIKES", haters give themselves ulcers. Best part is, even the hater views bring in You Tube money! LOL... Rudy, your dad spent too much time talking to your date, but did give you a chance to rescue the rescuer. Keep up the good work. I'm loving both channels!
LoL Rudy straight away with the Celsius ... a true Canuk at heart!
Rudy saved the day! Date and all.
Whose date was Rudy's?
@@andrewmorgan6963 ,
A cute blonde near the beginning. I didn't catch her name.
I don't remember Rudy saying it. She seemed a bit shy but nice.
@@andrewmorgan6963 pretty sure it's the girl in rudy's jeep, she's been on calls before and operated the cameras
@@45678ret 👍
@Crus Harold 👍
"It's sweater weather... idk what temp that is" really cracked me up 😂
Gotta give props to the LX for getting that far out there. Proper pressure in the right tires and they probably wouldn't have had to make a call. 200 series shall be mine one day!
12 hours is a LONG time to be in the snow alone! Jeep #3 😂 got stuck in the snow while trying to rescue friends too!!
Very appreciative clients Matt!! ❤️🐞
the subcriber ticker is going to hit 1 million this year
YEAH IT IS!
Sure hope so
@@dougmoran5057 m
Rudy needs a little more practice channeling his "inner Ed" for those weather reports.
Lizzy got it spot on in one of the last videos ^^
Agreed.
There is no substitute for Ed!
That is my dream car. It has crawl control. Many many who buy these vehicles don’t know all the systems it has. Based on the LC 200, it is a beast on and off road.
RUDY! If she had a good time and wants to do it again, she's a keeper, brother!
2 ft away from freedom & a Snowdrift still got ya both
That thumbnail should be added into your channel banner, its gorgeous!
I love how its one big family .......
Good job Matt to make that girl feel better.
It’s funny to see the kinds of cars these people drive out to the dunes 😂
Its not the type of car its mostly tires. That lexus with a lift and bigger tire would be a great back roader
Was that a GX 460?
@@MrSleepProductionsInc nah, LX
Yes and no, the "car" in this instance is driven on dunes days on end in australian outback, africa, saudi, the list goes on and on. Tires and driver make a difference, a big one
@@NewstartGarageOZ you will be hard pressed to find a salesman who actually knows the offroad capability of a land cruise or LX (same really) , they will probably tell you how it has bluetooth and navigation.
I was going to say something snarky about Jeep being so good at marketing that even Compass drivers assume their vehicle is capable off-road, but then the Banana got stuck, too. The moral of the story: overconfidence can take down even the most capable.
Yeah but the thing about snow is you can easily dig yourself out of anything...clearly these two didn't think of that. It was barely stuck.
The Compass is the model that tells you what direction you're stuck in
@@evictioncarpentry2628 Maybe there since the snow wasn't very deep. You can only do so much digging in +3-4' of snow before it's smarter to wait for help(if you can afford it). We have a lot more snow in northern Utah than down south
@@evictioncarpentry2628 The snow that is easy to dig is the kind your less likely to get stuck in. The wind blown drifts often turn to ice when the wheels pack it in. Even with a metal shovel it can be hard digging. Looks like they where facing down hill, on ice. Might have been possible to get some gravel/dirt from near by and spread that over the ice.
No food or water for 12 hrs I bet that will teach them
Probably not
I love the way those wheels turned out they just look the way there supposed to. Great job
One of my favorite rescues. I have watched this many times. It is great to see people who are REALLY glad to see someone has come for them!
It's great y'all are so willing to help whenever, giving up parties and dates. That's true service. On a side note it's sad how much snow is up there so far this year.
Thats the TOWING business, you get a call & you GO! That's in the job description!
@@jontrudell7529 I know several types truck drivers and I've been an EMT on call. The thing that impresses me is they ALL go. I'd only take a few people but they take a team and have fun while doing it. Working as an EMT we would see many towering companies who were hard a**** and grumbled and swore the entire time.
@@jilliansadventures4679 you must say be jealous of Matt
So, does Matt get one of his own shirts? He made a call, right?
Layered.
Technically, he called Rudy for backup before he got stuck. Standard procedure I'm guessing.
More important, how much did Rudy charge Matt for the recovery of the banana?
i think the normal price he ever pay...
1vehicle 2 people recovery => customer pay
the cam Crew on backseat => youtube and other support
1 backup crew with vehicle => just in time call, he knows he can unstuc the bannan with 4 people but with a car it is the easy way
@@nkadams10 he got a extra hour of over time lol
Thanks to Matt this story ended well. I was a member of a search and rescue team in the 90’s and I heard of a few stories where people did this sort of thing which didn’t end well. It seems the worst stores you remember involved people venturing off on closed roads in winter time.
Snow is tough, I learned that this past snow storm. Thank God for 4x4 it got me through it but next time I'll just wait til it passes before I go.
12hrs stuck in the snow, first complaint is we have no water. City folk make me smile.
Yeah, water, water everywhere ... 🙄
They call it Darwin’s law for a reason
IKR Melt it first though, eating snow will give you hypothermia.
And they could 'sift' the water with a t shirt or something
Just say no to yellow snow...tho.
You guys should fab a magnetic cover for the license plates so you don't have to blur them. Maybe have it say "I made a call..." or just the MORR logo.
The first dozen times they use it it'll get left behind on the customer vehicle. I guarantee it.
Mythical magnet that sticks to aluminum license plate. Genius
Lovely, genuine gratitude is a real gift to someone in Matt's position - lovely to see.
cant say enough how much i love this channel. you guys rock. take care.
Tucson AZ to Virginia via back, seasonal roads... they make highways for a reason :)
They were taking the Scenic Route :) , Done that before in a Rental over Hagermann's Pass in CO ;)
That vehicle is a lx570 aka Toyota landcruiser very capable.
@@nathanrotar5012 talking about the "jeep" car in the snow drift.
@@joshmeacham3326 I'm stupid.
The girls from Arizona should of known to carry water always, it's a rule of survival there!
Nobody tell them that the white stuff is made of water.
@@camberwellcarrot420 And out there it's probably very clean snow. 12 hrs without food is not an issue.
right. i don't even go hang out in my basement without my water bottle, let alone out in the boonies
@@defresurrection The same wind that drifted the snow would not bother mixing dirt and sand with it either, sheeeeesh.
@@iffykidmn8170 The military drinks worse than that. Dirty snow, swamp water or Cobra blood. Your choice 😀
I like the new camera angle in the car. The one on the drivers side, you can see everyone.
I tried helping a Blazer who got stuck in the snow yesterday. We saw the wind blow him just far enough to hit the soft shoulder and swerve off into the ditch, completely high centered. Unfortunately my hitch shackle turned out to not be in the car so I couldn't use my kinetic rope, and I couldn't get him out with just a strap. Got him back about 18" but that was all she wrote.
Can't wait for my Matt's Rope and soft shackle to arrive, got the shipping notification that afternoon, haha. Next time I'll be able to get them the few feet farther to reach the pavement
(Also, be EXTREMELY careful helping people in blizzard conditions, if that doesn't go without saying. It doesn't do much good to stop to help if someone hits you. We do utility work so we had lights, hi-vis vests, etc and I had my partner watching for/directing traffic while we attempted to get him unstuck. If you not positive you can help safely just leave it to the professionals like Matt.)
Love Celsius conversion !!
"Fine I give up" lol
You gotta love four wheel drive vehicles that are only four wheel drive when they feel like it !
I just happened to find your channel about a week ago and have watched a ton of your videos. I have to make myself stop so I get some work done. Love your channel please don't change the way your doing it. One of the best or maybe (THE best) thanks. Keep it real
That lady looks like she's freezing and matt has a short sleeve
@False Flag lol 😁
Putting water and jerky in my Jeep today.
Best not to leave water in a plastic bottle in your vehicle.
In warm temperatures the plastic leaches into the bottle.
I keep a bag in the fridge with water and nuts and put it in my vehicle before I leave.
Even for short trips.
You never know what will happen
I got this sweet 12oz electric kettle on amazon, 15mins to 212°f. it's for the freeze dried emergency food I carry around + a MSR burner that also can use gasoline. Back up to the back up
@@NewstartGarageOZ I personally would rather drink a bottle of water that has been under the seat for a year that not have any at all. I always try to have some water in my vehicles but I would be terrible about remembering to take it every time.
and mice the next day lol
Props to those guys in the LX570 for actually using that vehicle
Wow, I've seen Matt get rescued twice this week! Great videos folks 😉
I think Rudy should give Matt a shirt next time just for the fun of it
Imagine being stuck for 12 hours and when your expensive rescue team arrives they get a truck stuck and pull themselves out first lol
I like the shenanigans! Not everyone is immune to getting stuck and no one is immune to the fun of getting stuck!
Always making my pre work routine with new episodes the best!! Sweet!
We want to see the corvair!
Is this the infamous Brynn of off road recovery legend 5:59 !?!
Hey y’all, just wanted to let ya know I appreciate what y’all do. Not a lot of offroad recovery in southern Utah and it’s nice seein y’all do what you do. I’m over by beaver and there’s a lot of people that get stuck. So I help when I can, but it’s nice to know that y’all are out there. Stay safe and happy trails brother
Arizona in the ❄️❄️ snow. Good luck to you on your move, and good job to the rescue crew another great video.
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign
The Five Man Electrical Band
Lol.
Long haired, freaky people, need not apply
Thats a damn good song
@R BnalY Thats right.
I've heard that song a million times and only today realized it is saying "blocking out the scenery" I thought it was something totally different.
"I got stuck in the dunes and all I got was this "yellow banana" T-shirt

Matt I can tell your really putting on the weight!!!! Take it off now. I’m 74 just lost 28 got 40 more to go, loose it while your young. 😱
😬😬😬
Now I understand why you bring so many people with you. To push!!!!! Good thing you had both jeeps. Good,job.
As fate would have it, Rudy has the most unusual dates with his girlfriend, classic case like father like son. I did notice Mrs. Matt out on her date with her husband. 😁😂🤣
orangepickel2 Such is the life. I worked in an industry that when the phone rang, you answer it and go. I missed a lot of family events and holidays. Rudy and his girlfriend have the right attitude for that type of work/job. Rudy has such a great demeanor! Randy, well, I don't think I've ever seen him not happy. Good to see the whole family out together, even if it's work.
@@coldblue9mm Exactly. If the girl isn't into your life, as is, then she sure isn't going to be happy being a part of your life as a wife.
@@coldblue9mm I spent the majority of my life on the Oceans of the world 6 years with the Coast Guard, an 18 years and a small vessel Captain near coastal put pilots on ships in 25 ft seas taking them off of ships. same with medical evacuations from ships the middle of the night back into the side of the vessel while they lowered the injured crew member down to the deck of my vessel on a storage crane. Sometimes my wife is going with me when I do those jobs. Most of the time not I've taken over tows from the Coast Guard vessels that towed a vessel through 150 mph hurricane for 3 days and 45 50 ft seas 3 miles out to sea and about 13 bodies or souls into the harbor on a fishing vessel that was disabled, Coast Guard cutter lost a engine during the typhoon. Then I spent another 15 years running around the world as a deep sea merchant sailor well you don't spend much time with the family when you're out having Christmas on the ocean Thanksgiving on the ocean Easter on the ocean New year's on the ocean. I was crazy enough to get a Private pilot single engine land airplane license that I hardly ever used. For the last six and a half years using my CDL. December of 2019 I quit driving land ships better known as big rigs.
@@davec.3198 My wife and the spouses of people in the industry I'm in have to put up with a lot. The best thing about it is now she gets a great pension from my old job. So now, looking back, it's all been worth it. At the time, it could be a little stressful. Plus I was on call, 24/7 for almost every day of the month. I did get about every other weekend off, as long as the weather wasn't horrible. A lot of peoples marriages cannot handle this and the divorce rate is quite high.
@@orangepickel2 I'm not jealous of what you've done for a living! I like to keep my feet on solid ground. I don't have a phobia of being out to sea but it's not my forte. You did a job that definitely isn't for everyone. It's takes special people to do the jobs you did and to be honest, to do what I did. It's more a way of life thing, if you get what I'm saying. I hope you're retired and get to enjoy yourself now!
But, but, but the Lexus brochure said that it could "go anywhere" and had a picture of it in the dunes. I even turned the dial to "sand mode". How could I ever get stuck?
you CAN GO anywhere. also into the dunes. but you will NOT COME BACK. a few word that where missing in the brochure.
@@TheHolan also, I was pretty surprised that it had no tow hooks.
@@fj400007 it has screw-in tow 'hook'. those are often insufficient for strong forces as in recoveries. in germany/europe all cars must have tow hooks front and back. modern cars unfortunately have only screw-in tow hooks.
TheHolan actually it has two tie down points on the front used to secure it on the boat when being transported. It is also a very capable off-roader based of the Toyota LC 200 land cruiser however even the best off-roaders will get bogged if the drivers are idiots who don’t deflate their tires.
@@ksksnordsh5413 land cruisers have no tow hooks for real ?
One thing about this channel you guys always make people happy at the end where is Ed love this channel can't wait to see more really enjoyed it watching all the way from Spain God bless each and every one of you guys stay safe saying hello to you Ed all the way from Spain
Ed was probably spending Christmas Eve with his son.
Those poor girls in the snow! No water! :(
Glad y'all had some to give out. If you read this comment, could you tell us a story or two in your next video about some of your most dire or alarming first-aid incidents like that? Injuries, dehydration, heat stroke, etc. It may be illustrative as to why carrying a few essentials, like a couple of bottled waters, is so important for even the most mild excursions.
"no water"
Stuck in snow.....
I thought same thing
@@aaronmcconnell7358 me too.. I also thought about how much snow I could move in 12 hours. They were definitely from Arizona!
@@Eyes0penNoFear lol I am from Arizona and I have more sense than that but it didn't look like they had any way to shovel snow and if they got all wet and cold they would have been in bad shape, honestly I think it was wise for them to just chill out and wait.
I thought that too lol , um grab a cup ,find some clean lookin snow and let it thaw or just eat it, snow provides surprisingly little water for its bulk but it would be enough on a cold day to stay hydrated.
@@Eyes0penNoFear more likely from New York, San Francisco or Chicago.
Front wheel drive Compass comparable to a minivan good for getting groceries that's about it
should be called the jeep snowflake!
@@fbrewx2560 should have Fiat badges on it they are far from a Jeep
The way the crew was smiling and laughing is it really a JOB or a family outings. I think i know. Love the scenery
The ladies in the compass & snow had a very good perspective at the end. Good to see. Wish them well
Pretty sure I could have shoveled thst jeep out with a stick in less than 12 hours but ok...
bitches...
They could have melted water from snow using heat from the vehicle too but oh well.
That's what I thought on first glance.
But the front of that car was pretty deep into that snow, if you can still call it snow. It looked like something in between ice and snow.
On the other hand, I did not see any signs of shoveling so who knows what could've happened if they tried it ^^
For real, no way would I even call someone for this
A bit of digging would have kept them warm too...
That Lexus was as close to a beached whale as I can imagine. lol
WOW! I'm impressed they got that Lexus that far out without getting stuck earlier. Completely blows my mind.
They probably (somewhat) knew what they were doing and kept up speed, looks like they had to stop because of that very steep dune and then got stuck
Just bought my Matt’s Off Road Recovery T-shirt! Representing in Minnesota!
A Jeep with no recovery points. What a sad state of affairs
No need for recovery is built into each and every one except this one.
At 8:31 you can see the rectangular cover in the rear bumper (above Matt's shoulder) for one those screw in recovery eye-bolts. There's one in the front too. But no doubt it's a lot quicker to just crawl under and hook on to the control arm.
That Lexus LX570 has a hydraulic suspension and a crawl system that should be used before everything
Yes, the driver seemed to not know how to use all the features. If he would have put it in 4low and activated crawl control, the suspension would go into extra high mode and potentially un-high center the vehicle. Crawl control would then shake the vehicle out of that situation.
@@devilselbow
Standard on the LX570 which is the Lexus version of the Toyota 200 series Land Cruiser. The Lexus comes with Active Height Control hydropneumatic suspension which can raise and lower ~ +/- 3" from normal ride height. You can't get this on the Land Cruiser version in the USA.
they were really buried and their tires did not look very off road capable with the massive rims, so I doubt even if they raised the suspension that it would have gotten them out. Haven't tried a crawl control system in sand though, would be an interesting test.
@@devilselbow They came out in 2008, so some are a decade old.
@@8oliverraymond that system is prone to failure.
As always guys, great content. Absolutely love watching that XJ do its thing. Matt.....PLEASE when you get the Corvair ready to take calls, please DO NOT side line the XJ. We love that Jeep.
3:00 who can remember the red stop signs? @ number plate :D love you guys! from South Africa
stuck in snow, "do you have any water" nature is literally giving you what you need.
Without a pot to melt the snow, they're sunk. Eating snow dehydrates the body quicker than waiting calmly for rescue.
@@drehkraft1 their car was full of stuff moving! all they needed was a sock and some warmth (engine) and anything to put the sock in (a shoe) and they have water. They had a dog don't they have a bowl for that?
@@drehkraft1 yup, and a plastic bottle, which they had and setting it in the car near them would melt it. or you can use the engine bay. and an aluminum can. basically there are ways to melt snow easily and get water to drink.
@@brother9916 And unless they had a means of purifying the water they might have still been better of being thirsty rather than sick.
@@iffykidmn8170 lol, you don't get sick like that.
That Dodge Caliber, I mean Jeep Compass has one of those recessed eyebolt jobbies inside the bumper as the recovery point....but who has the time?
Yeah, it is all the same vehicle.
I remember matt talking about them before, he only uses them when he doesn't use a lot of force, but for tough pulls he needs more strength
Eyebolts are weak. They are good only for winching onto a rollback or trailer.
Those will rip out if any force is required.
