Reason to watch MORR 1. The scenery 2. Humble hard working family 3. Learn way to keep yourself out of the situations these customers get themselves into But honestly I spend so much time looking at the beautiful scenery on the background
Regarding #3: I managed to get stuck in soft red sand south of Green River awhile back, despite having seen 1275 rescues on this channel! Sometimes that stuff just reaches out and gets ya!
Traveling through Utah wearing my Team MORRVAIR shirt, and watching MORR on RUclips in the motel......pretty good vacation so far! Absolutely love seeing the family working together, and the MORRVAIR! My goodness I love the PNW, but my hats off to Utah and it's beautiful country as well!
I'm surprised that the Jeep guy's buddies didn't just tow him back to the road. We have no tow companies that will go offroad around here, so if you get in trouble you have to depend on the community to get you back to the pavement. A couple years ago the oil drain plug fell out of my Taco about 30 km up a fire road. Walked out and got on the local 4x4 rescue forum and within a couple hours a guy I'd never met came up and pulled me back to the blacktop.
We're in a weird time where many selfish people look for reasons to hold others responsible for their own misfortunes and its created an environment where a lot of people don't want to help
If they aren't set up for the sand, they are going to have a hard time pulling a dead vehicle through the sand. They didn't tow it on the rock to the sand. You need a lot of tire and HP to tow though the dunes.
On the F250 rescue, I tend to over prepare, so I have a winch and Hi-Lift to self-extract. Been driving that way for over 50 years, and helped plenty of others and only time I had to call a tow was when an engine failed on I-80 outside of Elko.
Up here in AK (aka, not the lower 48), I like to keep a pair of knee-deep mudders with me so I'm never stuck wearing the wrong boots. Keep some trash bags stuffed in them so that if you have to slip in and out of them, you can keep the mud off the floor boards. There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad preparation.
When you talked about the bald tires in sand, this past weekend I used skills I have learned from watching your videos about sand and did a sand recovery while on a vacation at pismo Beach. Truck was buried and I don't do sand recoveries but thanks to you I was able to successfully recover their vehicle without ever having to put a strap on it. Thank you for teaching us your ways of sand recovery.
On thing no one seems to touch on is the positive reinforcement that the crew give each other. The "nice job" and "we appreciate him/her" are seldom heard in work environments. Kudos to the crew. And for the camera slinging, editing, droning, and other behind-the scenes crew, we appreciate ya.
Caitlin's comments about off road driving especially with SWB vehicles, and on your sand/rocks show she has a ton of knowledge and experience. Send her out on her own on a recovery! Plus she is awesome with the camera!
Caitlin can drive really well, but does not have the muscle that ole Matt does, she'd be a bit stuck trying to muscle that jeep out. By the way I hope she never does have Matt's weight and muscle !!
Wow, Caitlin sounds like an absolute pro! Her expertise in off-road driving, especially with SWB vehicles, really shines through-it’s not something just anyone can handle confidently. Pair that with her skills on sand and rocks, and it’s clear she knows her stuff. And being great with the camera? That’s the full package right there! But here’s a question: has Caitlin ever shared a story about her most challenging recovery or off-road experience? Bet there’s a wild adventure in there somewhere! 🚙💪
7:55 +/- Katelynn to Matt: "You look like you're on your day off." Matt: "I'm full of anxiety". Katelynn: in a soft and kid voice: "you hide it well." What a perceptive and endearing comment to make. This young lady is a gem! I really enjoy her presence on these videos, always smiling and calm, and admire her for her modesty.
Wow that fella really rolled that Jeep and damaged it! Rhett is really getting up to speed on towing these vehicles out just like Kaulin! That second recovery was a muddy mess, but the Morrvair got the pickup out and on his way home. Good video!
I had a Dodge Caravan that could apparently manifest gas into its own tank. Shut it off on E, start it the next morning and it reads 1/3 full. Nothing worked right on that bucket, but it never stranded me for 255k miles.
That must be a dodge thing I had a 73 Plymouth scamp that the gas gauge stopped working in and once I figured out the mileage on and would write the mileage on a paper
Well, since everyone else is talking about their Chryslers… my 89 Daytona Shelby had the fuel pump replaced, all was great til I saw just under 1/4 tank on the gauge. Then I got to experience hitchhiking to the nearest gas station!
@@RatBürgerSk8 my parents had the Chrysler equivalent when I was kid. Tranny issues twice. 1st time near home, fixed in 2 days. The 2nd time, we were traveling on Route 95 South out of state and it went bad just before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel. Fixed within a few hours. Both fully covered by warranty, including everything from tow to rental. After that it lived until around 180k before our New England rust ate it.
Matt is a good mentor. I love how he takes his crew into uncomfortable situations and teaches everyone around him how to be uncomfortable and still find a way to be happy and enjoy their life.
So Matt. What I enjoy most about watching your channel right now is how the boys are stepping up. They are now doing what we all hoped they would do when we started watching years ago. As this video shows, not only are they participating in the recoveries but standing shoulder to shoulder with you, strategizing. As a dad, this is so cool.
Looks like he was coming out of his property. Not his first time in the mud I reckon, his problem was bad place bad time wrong vehicle. Low light and the mud was really bad, he had a small creek forming coming right out of his gate. He cant take it at speed, because of the immediate turn coming out the gate. Thats a big ol f250 with ATs, thats a tough time for anyone.
@tommiller1770 If you've never heard of, or been to, Lake Powell you'll love it. Google it and it's like Sand Hollow x1,000! The water has been dropping, but it's still a breathtakingly spectacular lake to just spend a lazy day floating in the water, exploring some of the coves, or sitting on a beach and enjoying the views. My profile pic is an older photo of Rainbow Bridge which can be accessed via Lake Powell. The water is no longer running through it, but I was lucky enough to have boated under it, walked up to it, touched it, and stood within its shadow. The Navajo believe good luck will find you if you stand within its shadow.
Rhett comprehends conditions he's an excellent excellent recovery personnel. And it's got a good personality hope you don't decide to get his own channel also! He is a great person for your channel
Matt, I've had more than one old ride that did not have a working fuel gauge but NEVER ran out of gas. EVERY time I drove them, I filled up the tank. It's not that hard. What you need to do is make a rule that whoever runs out of fuel has to wash EVERY vehicle at the shop. No one will do it more than once. 🤠
Glad to see I am not the only one to take the old turn off in Virgin to Kolob. Not very happy to see the condition of the road on our property. We barely got down there when it was dry during the hunt last year. That mud will get you every time.
Man to man I've got o say, Matt is the finest example of a husband, and Father I've ever witnessed. I'ed bet it has to do with his wonderful wife and how she stay's by his side.
I've been a driver in several different industries, either delivering or operating and to me best system ever for not running out of gas is to fill up the tanks at the end of each day/job. You get to start the day knowing you're good to go for fuel and it makes it easier to calculate how much fuel is used per day/job. Hands down it's the best system. period. full. stop. no cap!
Just passed a new model modded out Jeep on the shoulder yesterday afternoon. It caused a major backup. By the time I passed it, it was half a jeep leaning forward 45 degrees, and a big steaming smoky blackened wet spot of twisty melty shmoo.
I Think All the kids are Amazing, they can Weld, they go out on rescues with & without Matt, they have been taught a life time of skills, the youngest one, I Believe Carter (?) is probably Still in the training stages... 😉. I Love the Whole family and the Crew at MORR
Happy, smiling all the time, willing to jump in and help. If that's childish and they're annoying, why the hell are you all watching the channel. Just go find something YOU can enjoy.
@@B4UClose I sorry I didn't want to offend him. It's something I can't explain but I don't like Jake. Tom Tom, Matt and the lovely girl (Catherine?) those I like. Jake and Matt's children, not so much, Matt's children are in that age that makes them to be imo dislikeable like 99% of teens on Earth, I can't stand them.
LOL, she is useless at everything she does. She had to be taught basic things last episode that any rock crawling champ would know. LOL girl did not even know what a tach was... Off road champ LOLOLOLOL
Thanks for the tip on tires for sand! I have all season tires on my Frontier and thought about getting lugs for it but will stick with the all seasons for running the sand on the OBX in NC..
When I got my Corvair Rampside, the gas gage would read way past full if the tank was full. If the gage needle moved down to that actual Full line, you better start looking for a gas station. If it got down to 3/4 full, you better BE at the gas station. A new sending unit fixed it, but I drove it over 10 years with the wonky gage, and never ran out of gas!
Great job on the recoveries. The poor guy in the Jeep will have a few new parts to install! LOL!! The pickup in the mud was stuck for sure! Nice job getting him turned around and out of that mud hole!
2:14 and I had a 91 Caprice like that if it was above the quarter tank and the fuel gauge was still moving you’re good if it was blow quarter tank and you took a left turn too fast you would die like the motor shut off
With regards to your fuel gauge, I'm pretty sure those are adjustable. All you need to know is the high and low resistance values. When it's full, adjust the back screw until it is on F. When it is empty, adjust the screw on the left until it is on E. Read the instructions.
Not all have that screw and you still need to have compatible types. If the gauge expect resistance x at max and but the resistor at the float lever goes up to resistance y you'll never get shown a correct result. But there are gauges that can be set to different types of resistors in the tank. But those are only the simple methods. There are many different types of checking the amount of fluid in a tank. For an all terrain vehicle is a resistor based system with a lever like in many cars used not so ideal. Better is a pressure sensor (for example piezo) that changes if you have more pressure (weight) on it. One at the bottom is enough, but if you use two - one at the bottom and one in the top, you can use the difference to have an exact result regardless of the angle the tank is.
I used to live in Southern Utah. I had a couple of experiences with that mud without even doing a risky travels. It can stick to your tires until no forward motion is possible.
Matt's Off-Road Recovery. Hello. I've watched several video's of this channel and finally subscribed. The reason is I like how you work as a team, stay clam and are no crazy drama. And the very fact you are very good at what you do. Looking forward to watching more of this channel.
Fuel gauge reading issues are funny, but, seriously, they are fixable. However, if the crew just topped off the tank before each outing, there would be little chance of having to call you for a can of gas. Then again, Jerry cans can be carried along as well.
I sold my parents 6 acres up on Kolob 25 years ago. It was beautiful, had huge pine trees but I could never drive to it without directions. I still have a picture of it. I could however drive to my aunt and uncle's cabin. LOVED camping for 5 or 6 days every year on vacation. My aunt is 97 and is the last of that generation but my cousins still use their cabin every chance they get. ❤
I used to have a dodge ram in the early 2000s that had a bad gas gauge that would do as you described and drop to E when you accelerate. I resorted to using the odometer and just tracking my miles to the roughly 11 miles/ gallon that it got. At the time I was in HS and gas was $4/gallon which was painful
I loved this!! Brought back some memories 😂 I was privileged to have a gorgeous little Series 2A Landy (don’t laugh, she was beautiful, especially after hubby fixed her up!) My little Landy had a very unique petrol gauge: E stood for “Enough” and F stood for “Finished” so we made sure she stayed on the Enough side, which, needless to say, freaked out a few people 😅 particularly those who didn’t quite enjoy the Walken Seymour side of life 😂 Love your videos Matt, thank you 😊
Everything about this video is great; the awesome power of the Morrvair, the fabulous drone shots, and great words of wisdom from Katelyn on Pink Wednesday!
Am wondering how much time/effort it would take to actually fix them. I know it is not a priority, but it would be a kindness to the crew to not stress about it.
I've done a lot of builds with new tanks and senders, since everything I work on if pre-70's stuff with (rusty) metal tanks, and even new the so-called "correct re-pop" senders never read right. POC Chineseum stuff IMHO. Never seen a single one read right. Lots of measuring and bending the float level rod is needed - sometimes hours of tweaking - to get them to read somewhat correctly. And I've had them read differently dry versus wet. I'm OCD on stuff like this, but if I err on the side of "full" or "empty" reading close to correct - it's always the empty end of the scale. In some cases you only have so much swing on the float, so if it's at the bottom of the swing and sitting near the bottom of the tank and still doesn't read empty, well that is a mismatch between sender and gauge. All this to say, I understand why Matt just leaves it be.
@@katherinecollins9636 It should be easy in my opinion. The cheapest version is to just remove the glas cover, fill the tank up like he did and move the needle to the full position. Put the glass cover back and it should work or should have at least more meaning. More exact is an universal tank gauge that comes with it's own sensor for the tank. You can cut the length of the float lever to fit it to any tank size. The material cost is about 50$. There are digital ones you can program a curve into if you want to have a more exact display even the tank has a weird shape or you can them program that they are able to work with the existing tank sensor.
Fuel guage! Gm senders use 0 to 90 ohms. Chryler/ford sonething like 30 to 210. Mix senders and guages and you get weird results. Float arm not reaching bottom if tank... Empty when at half. Looks like there is some work to be done
Kate I think you’re fantastic. I get to learn with you. Learning new skills for your tool box is so much fun. So many others don’t have the capacity for change and growth. I’m excited to see how you grow with this crew. Sending all the love. You got this Barbie.
When are we going to see a MORR Corvair circuit race? Get all of the YTers in on it! I know a guy that has a buttload of parts just sitting in a few containers. 🤣 I doubt anyone would even need to order from Clarks. The N8R H8R 100. Let's goooo!
Hello good day I think those guages have an adjustment to calibrate them . Some u have to open and pop the needle off .and put it back up with it reading full with a full tank of gas .and it should be close to accurate
Your channel is my favorite… Why, cause I like you Matt. You seem to be just a damn good guy. I see the way you interact with your kids and employees… and you have a wicked sense of humor… Love the rescues but mostly just like hanging with you for 30 min… keep it up… ALoha
Matt when you are steering a dead vehicle, keep your thumbs OUTSIDE the steering wheel, or if there is a kickback you can end up with a boken thumb. I was taught that when I learned to drive non power steering tractors. It served me well over the years. Only a bruised thumb from the rare near miss when I got complacement.
Been there, done that. CJ5 25 ft Roll over. Look, just like that 1.Three guys bent the front Fender. Out from the tire and Two quarts of oil. And drove it out
The vehicle owner knows when that gauge is indicating it's has plenty and when it's time to buy more, which is the whole entire mission of a gas gauge, therefore it does work.
I evidently have a morrvair fuel gauge in my d300 Dodge. It reads from 3/4 full to 1/4 full then back up to half. When it hits half on the way down it is half but when it hits half on the way back up you're empty.
Cool idea but I can only imagine the stability issues having a full sized vehicle on the back of a truck when on a trail. Maybe a side by side or something small
I have a 200 series Sahara land cruiser. When I go out on the trails and come across people who are stuck, if they have no winch, no ropes, no shovel. They also have no hope, I leave them there. My witch is well hidden as I have a rhino bar. And it is behind the number plate , (tag) so you don't see it. When you go out four wheeling, take some Stuff with you so I can use it to get you out.
I had a 66 Mustang with a gas gauge off by a quarter and ran out of gas once. I started to keep the mileage after that to know when I really needed to fill up.
Mr Matt. I would like to acknowledge that I have never seen that dash on the MORRVAIR so squeaky clean and shiny. Legendary example of the off road community sir while riding and keeping it clean. Well, as much as humanely possible 🫡🤣
Matt’s awesome you just have to know how to read the fuel gauges duh I love Matt. He’s the reason for the season and the whole crew rocks as well. Love this channel. Thank you guys. You guys are awesome.
Between Matt's team and Rory's team, they sure do make driving the trails in their respective area look easy. Just like most professional athletes, they make what they do look easy. Agree with Katlynn, years of experience with seat time and spotting.... Thanks for sharing.
I have been following your videos for quite a long time, from Portugal. I have seen your team change but you are all great. You always team up no matter what . Great job
I love this channel because it respects someone like Kaitlyn because she says "we've been driving for years...," Matt treats them like real members of the crew and not like kids, because they are real members of the crew. She has real experience and it shows. I love it. I also love that his kids are always learning and becoming better in their own right.
It’s just like my aircooled Vw bug. You go up hill and you have more gas. And down hill you have less, some steep hills are driven with the engine off. Can’t do that with modern cars. PoWeR eVeRtHiNg
Reason to watch MORR
1. The scenery
2. Humble hard working family
3. Learn way to keep yourself out of the situations these customers get themselves into
But honestly I spend so much time looking at the beautiful scenery on the background
and awesome team of hard working members behinds the scenes

Never get tired of the sound of the Morvair. One heck of an off road recovery vehicle.
I'm surprised that the Jeep guy's buddies didn't just tow him back to the road. We have no tow companies that will go offroad around here, so if you get in trouble you have to depend on the community to get you back to the pavement.

They didn't tow it on the rock to the sand. You need a lot of tire and HP to tow though the dunes.
There are a few of these rescues that have had me wondering the same thing.
Well for one thing in a place called commyfornia it is illegal to flat tow 😂😂😂
On the F250 rescue, I tend to over prepare, so I have a winch and Hi-Lift to self-extract. Been driving that way for over 50 years, and helped plenty of others and only time I had to call a tow was when an engine failed on I-80 outside of Elko.
I’ll NEVER get tired of the sound of that 5.3 working away in the Morrvair. Beautiful!
Up here in AK (aka, not the lower 48), I like to keep a pair of knee-deep mudders with me so I'm never stuck wearing the wrong boots.

I had a 67 Dodge Dart back in the 80s. If the fuel gauge displayed 1/4 tank, you had been walking approximately 3 miles.
I have a 63 dart and it will go to E and I can still get about 40 miles before I have to fill up

Ditto. My first car was a hand me down ‘70 VW Beetle with that sort of gas gauge.

A gas gauge that reads empty from 1/2 tank down is broken. You need it to ready empty accurately, because that's what's important.

When I got my Corvair Rampside, the gas gage would read way past full if the tank was full. If the gage needle moved down to that actual Full line, you better start looking for a gas station. If it got down to 3/4 full, you better BE at the gas station. A new sending unit fixed it, but I drove it over 10 years with the wonky gage, and never ran out of gas!
I enjoy the birds eye views that you work into your videos. You deserve success.
Great job on the recoveries. The poor guy in the Jeep will have a few new parts to install! LOL!! The pickup in the mud was stuck for sure! Nice job getting him turned around and out of that mud hole!
No, just one big part, between the front and the rear lisense plates.
Never knew the guy, but yes he was always there on your show.
Sounds like a great guy!
Deeply sorry for your loss ❤
2:14 and I had a 91 Caprice like that if it was above the quarter tank and the fuel gauge was still moving you’re good if it was blow quarter tank and you took a left turn too fast you would die like the motor shut off
Just got an XJ last week and have been self learning and discovering the YT channels for offroading. You're a badass Matt.
I love Matt's big "Poppy smile" after Rhett gets him thru the sand!
Great channel Matt! You, your family and your help are top notch and it looks like you all have fun at work! Keep up the good work!
The Morrvair has one of those classic encrypted gas gauges. You need an enigma machine to crack it.
Actually, that's an excellent aftermarket gauge in a fuel tank modified by Matt and/or Matt's people. That's why it reads the way it does.
There is an adjustment screw on the back of the gauge. It is probably a small flat. Good luck God bless
With regards to your fuel gauge, I'm pretty sure those are adjustable. All you need to know is the high and low resistance values. When it's full, adjust the back screw until it is on F. When it is empty, adjust the screw on the left until it is on E. Read the instructions.
Naw that would make sense.
Not all have that screw and you still need to have compatible types. If the gauge expect resistance x at max and but the resistor at the float lever goes up to resistance y you'll never get shown a correct result. But there are gauges that can be set to different types of resistors in the tank. But those are only the simple methods. There are many different types of checking the amount of fluid in a tank. For an all terrain vehicle is a resistor based system with a lever like in many cars used not so ideal. Better is a pressure sensor (for example piezo) that changes if you have more pressure (weight) on it. One at the bottom is enough, but if you use two - one at the bottom and one in the top, you can use the difference to have an exact result regardless of the angle the tank is.
I used to live in Southern Utah. I had a couple of experiences with that mud without even doing a risky travels. It can stick to your tires until no forward motion is possible.
It’s great to see Katlynn opening up and talking instead of just staying in the background.
How is she related to them? It’s been a while since I saw a video from Matt
@@davidvrana8270 Just a really good friend of the family.

Lol calm down bro. Try not to get so attached to people on youtube its just a show. @BenK12345
Matt's Off-Road Recovery. Hello. I've watched several video's of this channel and finally subscribed. The reason is I like how you work as a team, stay clam and are no crazy drama. And the very fact you are very good at what you do. Looking forward to watching more of this channel.
Fuel gauge reading issues are funny, but, seriously, they are fixable. However, if the crew just topped off the tank before each outing, there would be little chance of having to call you for a can of gas. Then again, Jerry cans can be carried along as well.
I sold my parents 6 acres up on Kolob 25 years ago. It was beautiful, had huge pine trees but I could never drive to it without directions. I still have a picture of it. I could however drive to my aunt and uncle's cabin. LOVED camping for 5 or 6 days every year on vacation. My aunt is 97 and is the last of that generation but my cousins still use their cabin every chance they get. ❤
Don't hurt your eyes from the shine off that dash, Matt.
I used to have a dodge ram in the early 2000s that had a bad gas gauge that would do as you described and drop to E when you accelerate. I resorted to using the odometer and just tracking my miles to the roughly 11 miles/ gallon that it got. At the time I was in HS and gas was $4/gallon which was painful
It is always a good time when watching a MORR video.
I loved this!! Brought back some memories 😂 I was privileged to have a gorgeous little Series 2A Landy (don’t laugh, she was beautiful, especially after hubby fixed her up!) My little Landy had a very unique petrol gauge: E stood for “Enough” and F stood for “Finished” so we made sure she stayed on the Enough side, which, needless to say, freaked out a few people 😅 particularly those who didn’t quite enjoy the Walken Seymour side of life 😂
Love your videos Matt, thank you 😊
Guy sitting upside down in his jeep.. Matt doing donuts for the drone shot 😂
Yeah what a great person lol😂 .
He definitely wasn't sat upside down though.....
😂😂😂
I guess you didn't see the part where the jeep was already upright and away from the chute when Matt arrived.
Everything about this video is great; the awesome power of the Morrvair, the fabulous drone shots, and great words of wisdom from Katelyn on Pink Wednesday!
So what you're saying is the gas gauges don't work. 😅
Am wondering how much time/effort it would take to actually fix them. I know it is not a priority, but it would be a kindness to the crew to not stress about it.
The gauges work. The floats and tanks are mismatched.
I've done a lot of builds with new tanks and senders, since everything I work on if pre-70's stuff with (rusty) metal tanks, and even new the so-called "correct re-pop" senders never read right. POC Chineseum stuff IMHO. Never seen a single one read right. Lots of measuring and bending the float level rod is needed - sometimes hours of tweaking - to get them to read somewhat correctly. And I've had them read differently dry versus wet.
I'm OCD on stuff like this, but if I err on the side of "full" or "empty" reading close to correct - it's always the empty end of the scale. In some cases you only have so much swing on the float, so if it's at the bottom of the swing and sitting near the bottom of the tank and still doesn't read empty, well that is a mismatch between sender and gauge.
All this to say, I understand why Matt just leaves it be.
@@katherinecollins9636 It should be easy in my opinion. The cheapest version is to just remove the glas cover, fill the tank up like he did and move the needle to the full position. Put the glass cover back and it should work or should have at least more meaning. More exact is an universal tank gauge that comes with it's own sensor for the tank. You can cut the length of the float lever to fit it to any tank size. The material cost is about 50$. There are digital ones you can program a curve into if you want to have a more exact display even the tank has a weird shape or you can them program that they are able to work with the existing tank sensor.
Just doesn't point north.
Fuel guage! Gm senders use 0 to 90 ohms. Chryler/ford sonething like 30 to 210. Mix senders and guages and you get weird results. Float arm not reaching bottom if tank... Empty when at half. Looks like there is some work to be done
Rory going up the chute in reverse was god level stuff
Kate I think you’re fantastic. I get to learn with you. Learning new skills for your tool box is so much fun. So many others don’t have the capacity for change and growth. I’m excited to see how you grow with this crew. Sending all the love. You got this Barbie.
Gotta love these videos by Matt and crew!
Thank you Matt and crew for the adventure , seeing some amazing scenery and nice recoveries !
The guy in the truck has definitely drove his heavy diesel in the mud before. He knew when to feather it & when to stand on it
When are we going to see a MORR Corvair circuit race? Get all of the YTers in on it! I know a guy that has a buttload of parts just sitting in a few containers. 🤣 I doubt anyone would even need to order from Clarks. The N8R H8R 100. Let's goooo!
Hello good day I think those guages have an adjustment to calibrate them . Some u have to open and pop the needle off .and put it back up with it reading full with a full tank of gas .and it should be close to accurate
Anyone inside that Jeep when it went, now has a story to tell.
I LOVE your explantation of the fuel guage...I have had experience with a few ow of those.
That was a nice 4.0L, hurts to see
Your channel is my favorite… Why, cause I like you Matt. You seem to be just a damn good guy. I see the way you interact with your kids and employees… and you have a wicked sense of humor… Love the rescues but mostly just like hanging with you for 30 min… keep it up… ALoha
But it's got the mandatory killer High-Lift jack and the everything
Matt when you are steering a dead vehicle, keep your thumbs OUTSIDE the steering wheel, or if there is a kickback you can end up with a boken thumb. I was taught that when I learned to drive non power steering tractors. It served me well over the years. Only a bruised thumb from the rare near miss when I got complacement.
1:49 that actually explains a lot about the fuel gauges. I’ve been wondering.
Been there, done that. CJ5 25 ft Roll over. Look, just like that 1.Three guys bent the front Fender.
Out from the tire and Two quarts of oil. And drove it out
I don’t wanna be “that guy”, but that’s sort of the definition of “it doesn’t work”😂
The vehicle owner knows when that gauge is indicating it's has plenty and when it's time to buy more, which is the whole entire mission of a gas gauge, therefore it does work.
@@sarahstephens5966 if it doesn’t work for everyone, then it’s just a Matt gauge.
I evidently have a morrvair fuel gauge in my d300 Dodge. It reads from 3/4 full to 1/4 full then back up to half. When it hits half on the way down it is half but when it hits half on the way back up you're empty.
If only someone would build an offroad rollback for instances like this.
Sometimes it isn't needed. Doesn't seat as many, so needs an extra vehicle. Also good to challenge the capabilities of the Morvaire.
That 6x6 is becoming onto a rollback they announced it on Sunday's video
Cool idea but I can only imagine the stability issues having a full sized vehicle on the back of a truck when on a trail. Maybe a side by side or something small
Excellent demonstration of the difference between the static and dynamic coefficients of friction!
The first road to recovery, Matt, is to recognize you have a problem.
Your fuel gauges are all broken.
MATT. Check the wiring under the Morrvair. I can see sparks fly at 11 minutes 54 seconds. Could be the starter hot wire.
That rollover is an example of why an engaged rear locker isn't always the best tool for the climb
I can see how that could help twist the vehicle around, especially if the front end gets light.
The cinematic clips you guys have been dropping in the video are so awesome. Those tracking aerials... killer.
Great recovery again. God bless you all. Amen Amen Amen. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for taking the original route to kolob. Oh the memories on that road😊
1:28 time for Tom Tom to come do those laser level indicators 😉
11:54 sparks from front end visible under rig
I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 60+ YEARS I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE YOUR GAS GAUGE. I ENJOY WHAT YOU DO.
Excellent operators there, making the difficult look simple, cracking job!
My 2004 Silverado has the exact same gas gauge as the Morrvair. As I remember, I got the sending unit off of an old Corvair.
A buddy off mine was an oil field operator and he would fill up on the way home every day. That's one way to never run out of fuel.
I have a 200 series Sahara land cruiser. When I go out on the trails and come across people who are stuck, if they have no winch, no ropes, no shovel. They also have no hope, I leave them there. My witch is well hidden as I have a rhino bar. And it is behind the number plate , (tag) so you don't see it. When you go out four wheeling, take some
Stuff with you so I can use it to get you out.
I had a 66 Mustang with a gas gauge off by a quarter and ran out of gas once. I started to keep the mileage after that to know when I really needed to fill up.
Mr Matt. I would like to acknowledge that I have never seen that dash on the MORRVAIR so squeaky clean and shiny. Legendary example of the off road community sir while riding and keeping it clean. Well, as much as humanely possible 🫡🤣
Matt’s awesome you just have to know how to read the fuel gauges duh I love Matt. He’s the reason for the season and the whole crew rocks as well. Love this channel. Thank you guys. You guys are awesome.
Between Matt's team and Rory's team, they sure do make driving the trails in their respective area look easy. Just like most professional athletes, they make what they do look easy. Agree with Katlynn, years of experience with seat time and spotting.... Thanks for sharing.
I have been following your videos for quite a long time, from Portugal. I have seen your team change but you are all great. You always team up no matter what . Great job
I love this channel because it respects someone like Kaitlyn because she says "we've been driving for years...," Matt treats them like real members of the crew and not like kids, because they are real members of the crew. She has real experience and it shows. I love it. I also love that his kids are always learning and becoming better in their own right.
Omg, mad props to editing for the Morvair scene transition! Love the ways you are keeping the videos dynamic.
It’s just like my aircooled Vw bug. You go up hill and you have more gas. And down hill you have less, some steep hills are driven with the engine off. Can’t do that with modern cars. PoWeR eVeRtHiNg
I have to say I loved the video like all of them, but the little edits and humor were all on point!! Always love a Ford getting pulled out by a Chevy!
Matt, you need a set of KM3's mounted for those times you are in the mud, great mud tires, I have them on my 1989 Toyota 4x4 pickup, love em.
