Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
I don’t watch tv. But I do watch these folks , everyday reminder that all is not lost
I haven't watch TV either in about 3 years . And I only watched people on RUclips who I think are good wholesome people
Same here, I sit in the UK watching people do interesting things in other parts of the world and this is one of the best
Same here, everyone in my break room watched Matt’s Offroad
I think that the golden age of tv has run it's course. I don't have on air tv. Haven't for many years. I buy Bluray at gamestop or online at Walmart. I do watch some at my girlfriend's but it is recorded stuff and news. But I have always been outside doing, instead of watching.
Sorry but all is lost. Our economy is about to collapse in a few days. No ones going to get this forced vaccine and in return not going to work. Good luck to all of you
To find a dead hole:
Start motor cold and use a heat gun to check each header tube at the head (one will be cooler / warms slower).
Nice tip!
If you're brave enough, just touch the individual header tubes lol
@@SldgeHammr Be a man
Brush a bit of oil on each tube and see which one doesn't get burnt off.
Pull sparkplug wires or coilpacks to see if it's missing spark on the cylinder that's dead. Pull injector connector to see if it gets fuel. If it has both check compression. Easy peasy
Matt is like the uncle we all would like to have, very knowledgeable about his craft, great teacher and always there to help others.
Happy Sunday everyone!🎉
also has a shop and can put the kids to work!
@@razaldazzle Yes sir! The whole package 😃
Thanks for replying 👊🏼
You could not describe him any better
Trevor, As an electrical guy myself, I truly appreciate the challenges you come across. You always figure it out though and your patience is incredible. Awesome work Trevor!!
Car electrics are a fucking pain. They make it look easyish in these videos. Poor trevor
Trevor had a hard job...I would rather do everything BUT what he did
I agree. If that wiring isn't right nothing else is going to mater .
I can't deal with electrical gremlins, I always get weird ones that I was never going to find myself.
I was an electrician for almost 40 years, and wiring big commercial buildings are easier than vehicle wiring.
I chased a short somewhere under the hood of my 1991 250 for months, the battery would drain in about three or four days if I didn't run it.
I had the whole harness cut open and carefully looked at every single wire from point A to point B.
I spent months looking for it, then it just went away. I must have moved something that fixed it.
After it stopped draining I put a new battery in it, and sold it before it came back.
As a troubleshooter of electronic things, I am shaking my head at Rudy in sympathy for Trevor right now.
Yeah, that's a brutal miss. I hate engine electrical. Utmost respect for those competent at troubleshooting that stuff.
-- Agreed. As a former garage manager for Micky Shorr, I am too. It 'look' right on visual ... those are the worst ones.
Connectors! How many times has is been connectors?
@@dnktng4722 -- Yup, should be in the bible. Tracking down mice damage is 100 times easier.
It would be like my daughter dropping our TV in the pool and then asking if it’s a big deal to get it sorted lol.
I'm female and know zip about engines but I enjoy the videos about mechanical work just as much as the ones about recovery. You guys work together so well and have a great time doing it. Keep up the great work 👍 👏 💪 👌
Visited Friday thank you for your courtesy and willingness to talk a little. Everyone was great. Thank you. Good to see progress really in spite of visits that you treat so well
ED’s AN OAK !! Sat there the whole time while Rudy did a burnout into the shop !! Ed’s a major player in that OFF ROAD RECOVERY TEAM and we love him !! Go!! Ed Go!!
I was lookin for the Ed comment he’s a trooper
Good eye. You made me go back and watch that part looking for Ed.
I never heard anyone say they don’t need a vacation. You love what you do for sure.
The Book of Truth
things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
"The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now"
"Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out"
Jay Leno, another gearhead, never takes a vacation, either.
Trevor’s “RUUUDY” is the best. Should be used for great fill-ins on future videos. Another good one guys! 👍
WHERE IS RUDYS GIRL FREND??
Got ya beat on that FUBAR Rudy Spent 3 days working on an 81 Camaro trying to find a dead short that would drain a good battery overnight. 4 hours into the 3rd day I got fed up, disconnected the battery, started walking away, then had a flash of inspiration. Grabbed the wiring diagrams and tore into it again. Eight hours later I had it figured out but couldn't get any readings on my multimeter That's when I remembered that I had disconnected the battery. That was 18 years ago and my brother is still laughing about it. Disconnected the electric choke, put a manual cable in, no more dead batteries.
I know Lizzie is a equestrian enthusiasts. Would be cool to see her ranch setup and also maybe a little gold mining expedition with Ed. The entire cast is super cool in their own special ways.
Speaking of Lizzie, is it me or are her arms getting bigger? Lugging stuff like she does and cowboy stuff not to mention dancing should be making big strength for a young lady. Young boys beware, you might get slapped silly🤪
@@mikemiller3007 I can only wish
Never let non-wiring people mess with wiring. Also love how excited Lizzie got for the first startup
When Rudy said "This is my immobilizer", Trevor was totally uninterested. Hilarious. Good work guys. Hi from central WY.
Then Trevor hit him with the Tony Liddle comment. I'd never heard of him either but he turns out to be and aging rocking singer (born 1940!) with fluffy mullet. Rudy did kind of have a cap created mullet going on, so it was a fair comment.
@@RCH45ACP Oh yes. That's a much better fit for Rudy's look.
@@RCH45ACP Oh I remember that guy! I guess I had blocked it from my memory
I've been watching a Matts's off-road recovery marathon. Ten hours so far. Randy is a great fabricator and welder. And Trevor is Amazing at wiring and getting the shot. And Lizzy is just Amazing at everything! And Ed and Jamie and the boys too. I admire the way you treat each other and everyone you meet. I'm LDS and just get the feeling you and Paul are too. I love watching your videos and Pauls's too. And now I'm watching Robby Laton and The Trailmator. Thanks for all the great content, and the wonderful feelings and smiles you all bring into my life with you humble natures and kind ways. God Bless you and all your loved ones.
The smile on Matt’s face said I’m proud of my team! Awesome!!!
I highly recommend the k-suspension ignition kit to get rid of the coil bar. Much more reliable and easier for trouble shooting if there is a miss. Definitely worth looking into matt!
As well as injectors. I have three of their products in my XJ
Thanks for the shout out! Would love to help them roll a little smoother! We commented above for them to give us a call :-)
It’s impressive to see how much work that is needed to get this going and that you guys knows how to get it done! Have a nice vacation! 🍻⛱
Matt is so calm, cool and collected all the time ... Never seen him curse or get mad about anything!!!
I wanna be like MATT!!!! 😁
I’ve come to enjoy these build videos as much as the “we’ll getem out” videos
We were thrilled to cross paths with you, the other day! We couldn't have been more impressed with how kind and how gracious you were to a couple fans.
It was fun to meet you!
Trevor, is the OBD II harness still attached or did it fall victim to weight reduction?
A dead cylinder is easy enough to find with a laser thermometer shot at the spark plug. Now what's causing the dead cylinder is another story. Once you find the dead cylinder, swap a injector and see if the dead cylinder follows the injector relocation. Also a quick ohm test on the plug wires is in order.
Also, unplug the MAF sensor and run the Jeep. A bad MAF will cause a dead cylinder. Plug the valve cover line as it can cause a lean condition.
No maf on there. All in the IAC and they're know to be problematic. Edited for language
@@thereallevel27 please watch what you write! I for one don’t think that kind of language is useful or needed. Haven’t heard foul terms since I’ve been watching.
@@mannymayer9250 He’s just calling a part an asshole, and it is, I think it’s okay. :)
Manny Mayer he’s fine snowflake.
WRONG
"either we didn't get all the parts, or we lost them"......that right there could be my motto!!! Thanks for another excellent video!!
I need a Matt’s “Please Winch Responsibly” sticker more than breakfast
Id buy it.
Rudy's fabrication skills at his age are impressive. I do have to say, since watching Matt and Paul's channels, all the guys (& Gal's) seem like the coolest people in the WORLD to hang out with. I built my first vehicle. 1991 s-blazer. Lifted it 6" and put a V8 in it, keeping the fuel injection. There was a lot of custom work I did to it. My dad passed away a few years before I got it but I always wanted nothing more than to work on it with him so seeing Rudy in the shop with Matt makes me smile. They all seem like such good, genuine people. Thank you guys for your content! Hope you all have a safe journey on the "secrete mission"!
Trevor's patience with wiring is on par with the rock stacking Matt did to recover the Prius!
I'm literally laughing right now because the jeep is right over the lift and instead of taking the load off the wheels to cycle the power steering pump Rudy is killing himself trying to grunt it lock to lock... lol
Pre-emptive punishment for the wiring 🤣
@@NesconProductions right on. I typically have it on stands and pull the wheels for other maintenance so I've always done it that way.
Matt & family go on vacation .. cue the Meme of Trevor singing ' all by my self ' again
The look on Matt's face when the engine first started, it was pure love.
Rudy has been restricted to welding only until he takes a refresher course in wiring plugs. 🔌 😁
That's not punishment, that's a reward for screwing something up that you didn't want to do in the first place!
@@richardelliott9511 millennial style lol
lizzie should be the welder Rudy can do what Rudy does lol
i rebuilt a jeep yj a few years ago. It is so encouraging for me watching this. i thought i was an idiot at the time but it happens to us all!!
Trevor, the unknown member of ZZ Top.
Trevor.... You're doing a Fantastic job, just make sure by the time Matt returns that the Beautiful Red Glowing Check Engine light stays on constantly, he Loves that light!
MATT Nothing like cutting it right down to the wire .
You are in good hands with Trevor GREAT JOB :-))
Whenever I see a loom out of a vehicle, am amazed it ever works again.
When Rudy asked if theres no front driveline and the drone was in the air you can see a tool or wrench fall off from some where
Lol
They normally hang on pretty well if you stay on pavement
i saw something shiny slide on the pavement
I found a vice grip years later on a nut under a seat
Right after that is when the engine started chugging.
Trevor is a true hero for dealing with the wiring.... Takes alot of patience to do all he does.... It's great seeing the banana 🍌 running again!💪
Not often you hear a business owner hope that there isn't any business for a week so a project can get done 🤔😏
I have confidence in Trevor, he will find the problem and if it's possible, he will fix it 😁
Don't forget they're getting RUclips money as well. Definitely counts for something. Another channel i like to watch, DeBoss Garage, stopped taking customer jobs to focus on RUclips.
I'm very glad that you taught your son so well. He does a beautiful job of stepping in your shoes while you are away.
Love the look on everyone's face when that engine started. It's the thrill of accomplishment,
when the plan comes together. Sure, it's not perfect but it will be with time.
The smile on Lizzy’s face when you fired it up was priceless! The half done guy plugged it in half way, lol!
Trevor saying Rudy looked like Tony Little, was spot on.
I been working down goat trails and trying to get pickups and equipment in and out of them for 50years. I love watching these guys 😅
OMG! Matt mounted a winch! 😁
A holiday you probably DO need mate, whether you know it or not.
He mounted a winch but forgot to zip-tie the jumper box to the front to power the winch..,..🤣
This has inspired me to fix up my jeeo this winter! I have a 95 cherokee that needs tore down and worked on and this is the motivation I needed .
It's kinda sketchy doing burnouts with those Patagonia tires.
I've got a set on my Mad Max car and after the 1st little burnout those things get stickier than fresh sap on a new flannel shirt!!!
fresh sap on a new flannel shirt sounds pretty sticky
That’s an analogy worthy of vice grip garage
@@theltcrowe9000 Well I'll be dipped!!!
@@gerfmon1 Don't let Rudy near them digicals.
I remember having my 87 wrangler. It's had the 4.2 in line 6 punched 020, flat tops, offenhauser aluminum 4 barrel intake, 450 holley, hooker full length header, head work, and exhaust. For what it was it was a torque beast. Lol
Ol' Max looks pretty comfy under that table in the corner!
That's great Rudy and Trevor got to take the first drive. They were the real MVPs this whole build.
Gold? Sure hope Ed is in on that trip! 💛💰⛏️🌟
Trever! You are amazing. That wiring mess would have totally baffled most of us. Awesome job!!!
Love that you have tiny progress bells ring when you cross tasks off the board. Obviously the editor could be helping with the wiring.
Have a great time in Florida. Don't worry about the Banana--Trevor got this! Thanks Tucker for all your work gathering the footage and making each video shine! Appreciate you all! :)
I would recommend a protective screen wire of 1/4” round stock to protect the radiator from winch cable / fiber line. Sometimes there may be back lash icthere is a mishap with the “line in” winch process.
Trevor's "accessory power" is charm. I hope you find your charm Trevor. Try looking in the various videos where you make us all smile!
The Banana LIVES Once again !!!!!!!! Well mostly.
Every time they use a winch I think about one of Matt's early videos talking about how they don't use them much. I love these custom-built recovery rigs because it demonstrates how technical a recovery can be.
Keep up the great work!
Nice Tony Little reference 😂😂
Love that feeling when it turns over and it START..
My guess for what the secret mission is: Matt dropped the word 'golden' when discussing it, so it must involve Ed. Matt has previously stated that only the Banana is small enough for the recovery. My guess is that Matt is going to recover Ed's old Jeep, broken down and stuck up there someplace.
Hey, you were should have won something with that guess.
The 4.0 liter inline 6 cylinder that came standard on the Cherokees was a bulletproof engine offering a good amount of torque, especially given the vehicles size and weight. I loved my old Cherokee great vehicle that, despite having issues, was dependable. The two doors especially make great working vehicles, just take the backseat bottom out and fold the back seat back down; lots of space on a vehicle that will get you just about anywhere. With 4-6 tube sands bags strapped in the back they make about the perfect plow vehicles, especially with studded snow tires. While I managed to get the Ram 2500 stuck while plowing I never got the Jeep stuck. The Cherokee with a bigger engine and better transmission would be even better; I always thought it would be nice to go diesel.
Really like all the positivity while working on the banana!
You talk about team work, this whole crew works together great, TEAM WORK
Rudy is a master CAD draftsman. Cardboard Aided Design! ;-)
I had the same trouble at first with my yellow 05 rubicon after switching to a Golen stroker. Took a while to work the air out of the fuel injection to get a good idle. Then some overheating due to air trapped in the coolant system (my fault) and small, irritating problems with wiring (my fault again). The engine is great though! Once those were worked out, you can really feel the extra horses and torque! 👍👍 (2 thumbs up for Golen racing strokers!)
yipee!
Epic Tony Little reference!
I would do all my business at Eric’s House of Hose
Jeez! I feel like I've known you all for years. Feeling a little bit freaked out by Trevor's job. Wiring is, possibly, the most tedious and complicated thing in a car. You're a beautiful and inspiring "family"!
Visited a couple weeks ago when moving across country, unfortunately you were already closed. I tune in every Sunday morning! Keep up the great work
That "vacuum leak" sound that you hear in the cab is coming from the THOR intake. I have the same one on my XJ, takes a little to get used to but not too long. It's just amplifying the sound of the throttle body. Once the sound deadening is in place, it will be much less noticeable.
Question for the group -- what exactly is a dead hole? Tried googling it and got nothing conclusive. Does it simply mean one of the cylinders is not working?
Yup
You got it. A dead hole means one cylinder is not firing. Consider it shop talk for a single cylinder misfire which you're more likely to see in a manual or training.
Fuel, Spark or Compression (rare) is missing or not on time or in proper mix.
It's a wife after 20 years of marriage! 😂🤣
@@ceisarsrepair7958 that's a good one....😂😂
Sounds like those horses wants to be set free. Well done. I am sure its a sensor missing or not connected and that's why you are in limp mode. Connect the old OBD2 scanner and see what codes you get Trevor.
Trevor you are the comedic of this channel 😂 You had me laughing multiple times!! ❤️🐞
MORR Family, enjoy your vacation..
Looking forward for goofing-around video with Paul's...
Hope you guys do a follow up on that stroker motor. I've been on the fence about ordering one of them for my jeep. Love to hear after 6 months how it's doing
Build it yourself. They are super easy.
That noise is the air intake you guys threw on it. it actually pulls air from the interior behind the glove box. The limp mode you feel could possibly be the TPS as I've had it cause the exact same issue on my XJ before.
Trevor: Rudyyyyyyyy!! Rudy: It's aliveeeeee!! Matt: * shakes head slowly * XD
For anyone interested, the PSC is the best upgrade you can do for any big fire off-road rig. It is a complete game changer.
Rudy, what I was actually thinking is, "How is that ginormous winch going to affect the cooler being mocked up at 1:42?" I think the answer is "yes".
Having many yrs experience with the Amc/Jeep 4.0 6-inlines, to get the full benefit fan draw, I can't imagine trying to go without a tight fan shroud. With all the engine bay openings, tornado like winds will be creating big back pressure against the radiator, fans work. I missed seeing x-mission coolers on the ck-off list. Matt, thks for the vids, keep the fun going.
IT’S ALIVE! IT’S ALIVE!!!! 🙌
Sounds so good 💯
Rudy is rocking “Jeep Hair Don’t Care” 😂
Love when you rock your Jeep hair Bug!! Freshly Jeeped ! 😜
I did a stroker on my 1st gen XJ. It had to run a adjustable map sensor and adjustable fuel pressure regulator. It was a chore to get everything right. But it was oh so worth it.
Man, it would be fun working with you guys! You make the day more enjoyable.
Well that was fun.
If the Jeep is acting like it has a rev limiter around 2500 to 3000 or so rpm, re-visit the camshaft sensor/synchronizer alignment. That can cause the rev limiting. Of course if there's also a single cylinder misfire, fix that, too. A scanner is your friend there.
I'm increasingly convinced that Murphy's involved with anything theoretical!
Murphy? He was an optomist!
Murphy wrote the Law as pertaining to others. In this case, bad parts are suspect. ;-)
Murphy is ALWAYS involved .
Congrats guys! I did any engine swap on my MJ this summer after cracking a cylinder wall in the original 4.0. Such a good feeling too get an engine going after a swap!
Trevor: RUUUDDDYYYY!!! All for a "Lose Bolt."
Inside joke ..... the winch is inside the box...I get it, how funny Rudy. You never fail to keep us in stitches.
The Tony Little reference was gold ! 😂😂
@@aliceshaw8265 nope. me either
Oh NOOO now i cant unsee it Rudy as a bearded version of Tony Little NOOOOO
I get the impression that Trevor is under valued as a key player in getting the job done. getting the electrics to work and to work well requires skill and attention to detail. do not underestimate what he contributes to the success you guys active. keep up the good work. love your honesty and ability.
That thing sounds MEAN! Still running on the stock engine computer? Hook up a scanner! :)
Ivan you need to make a trip out there and get her going!
scanner. lmao.
Make a road trip with Eric O do a meet and great lol 😂
Yup have it tuned for sure
I had a very similar problem and it was a loose TDC sensor. Hopefully it's that easy of a fix for you fellas too
It's coming along and I have no doubt you will get 'er done. I would never even try the wiring, not my forte. I have looked at Badland winches for a long time, just never knew how reliable they were. Definitely like the price though and 12,000 lbs would be awesome. Hope it was serve you for many years to come. Thanks for the review.
I could watch you guys all day long!😁💕
You win for the most slim shady heater hose routing. I know, it's just a bypass, and it is an expedient, but still.
If matts on vacation for seven days that means he has seven Hawaiian shirts!!
I met him in Florida, and he didn't have a Hawaiian shirt on. Jamie was even nice enough to snap a picture. Thanks to you both!
Ran into a guy who met you all at a car show, he said you were just as cool and chill in person as on the RUclips. Good looking out yall
I’m predicting it’s going to be a completely different engine when you get it running right, should really rip!👌
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery I can’t wait! It’s crazy how consistently good all your content is, I sometimes get bored with a channel after a while but not this one! Been here since 20k subs and it just gets better all the time!👍
A shame it seems (universally..) car manufactures have totally forgotten the KISS method. Designing vehicles with high quality parts with a minimum of 'over technology' would be a dream. Amazing those who can DIY it themselves marrying old (tried & true) technology and the new (aftermarket parts) do it better than 'stock' show what is possible. Matt's Morrvair a glowing/extreme example.
NAPA has the correct formed upper hose for that engine in that vehicle. It fits with NOOOOO problems.
"RUUDDYYY!"
Should make Trevor a shirt with that.
RUUDDYY! the movie - story of a young man who strives to accomplish unthinkable goals to impress his family. ;)
Guys been twirling the harness like a baton, could be crumbled/bad ground somewhere. Sounds real good though. Slap a delta50 and some pipe on there and call it done.
This is the best RUclips channel going! Would love to work here!
Over 100 in summer and climbing around 140 degree broken down vehicles...
why ya talking bout twitch streamers LuL
Easy to pick the bad bits with any job, for me it would make up for it with the relationships you have with your crew, these guys and girls are awesome and clearly have a lot of fun together in other areas as well as on the recovery. Probably helps Iv always been massively into recovery . Very jealous whilst sat here over in the uk!!
I feel for Trevor. Wiring the job nobody wants to do! He deserves an even bigger raise and I am not talking the next biggest tow truck!!
