Matt's confusion when the rope wasn't under the axle anymore, "what kind of magic trick happened here" cracked me up
I think it had been on the ground and someone thought he would help by hitching it up
@@johnmackenzie693 the guy says "I'm sorry. I didn't think you wanted it wrapped around there"
Customer moved the rope from where Matt put it.
It took me a minute to remember why he wraps the rope around the axle. It was to keep the rope low for the pull so as not to damage the plastic on front of the car.
@@CTSFanSam Sounds counter intuitive and dangerous for the tow vehicle, but you are correct and Matt is the man.
@HeroinMonster Relax dude.
A tip for anyone driving a 3rd generation Tacoma like that.
If you press the traction control button once, you can spin the tires a bit, but it still keeps the nanny on.
If you stop and hold the button for a few seconds, it turns it all off and you can spin the tires and whip cookies til you get dizzy.
Great tip! My buddy had issues making it up a sand dune because he only had traction partially off. Once we got it all the way off, no problems at all 🤙🏼
Mines goes to auto lsd so it gets both wheels to spin. Turning it all the way off one wheel will spin(in my experience).
I'm starting to think people would follow Google off a cliff and only stop when they land at the bottom and then think "maybe this was a wrong turn"
Interesting you said that I just watched a video where a guy followed Google maps down what the city is calling a private road the bridge had been washed out for years he drove off and killed himself 😳 you are right 🤦they didn't say if it was day or night
Not paying attention when Google told me I needed to turn left onto a highway waited for an opening and made my left turn unfortunately it was a divided highway right turn only and I was heading into uncoming traffic the wrong way,😱😳 fortunately I realized the mistake and got over on the shoulder and said a few expletives'🤬 before doing a u turn and got down the road a piece and could get unto the divided highway going in the correct direction. When I say divided highway there was a strip of woods perhaps 40-50yds wide dividing the highway with no way of seeing that it was actually a four lane highway, yes I should have been looking for road signs(no left turn) and not listening to Google. I have on occasion when approaching an intersection and just make a right turn have Google tell me to cross the intersection and then make 3 left turns.🤔
I don't remember exactly where this was.. Might have even been in Finland. Someone was following gps and ended up in a river or lake. It's insane ...
3 states over etc, maybe I took a wrong turn.
When I follow GPS and I encounter a dirt road, I stop and look on the map to see if this is the right way. (If I haven't pre-checked the road before going on the trip)
"Matts Off Road Adventure" a new series were Matt and Rudy take it upon themselves to show the world how to survive in the Utah deserts... at least this has to become the name of a playlist.
Another camping trip
I support it!

The Rory clips kill me. Y'all getting EVERY mile out of those 😂
Came here to make this comment.
For Rory it's good advertisements too.
My favorite is the one where he just quietly shimmies
"It was literally a charger" cuts to a challenger. A tow guy who's car blind just cracks me up 😆. Love you guys!
Matt said many times that he's not a car guy. It's mostly car / truck / RV for him, they all look the same.
He even said a few mins before it was a challenger. Oh Matt
Dude challenger actually LOOKS like a charger while the "charger" is just a 4door sedan with head/tail lights that resemble a charger. So id say 99% of ppl would call that challenger a charger too
They all look the same now anyway.
Matt has said before, all vehicles are just stuck to him
You led me to Rory, so you're the coolest 😎, and you are right, he's awesome 👌 The trail repair videos are especially interesting.
Matt, I don’t know how you stay so even tempered in every situation, amazing. You are so respectful to everyone all the time or you do some real good editing 😊
I couldn't do what Matt does...... I am way too cranky, harsh, narrow-minded, judgemental, and downright nasty-natured to put up with some of this stupid crap.
Matt just grins and gets on with the problem at hand. Gotta respect that!
Can’t run a business being rude to everyone you encounter, mistakes happen 🤷🏽♂️
He always stays cool. 👍
"I knew I should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque.” - Bugs Bunny
I’m always dumbfounded when I see these types of cars out in the desert off of the paved roads; but I grew up in the desert so I guess I’ve learned what kind of vehicles should never go off main paved roads. Thank god for guys like Matt and his crew. Good job again!
My wife and I took our Mazda 3 on similar roads in NW New Mexico and we never even aired down. The trick is to drive fast and know your limits.
@@Eyes0penNoFear Indeed! It’s also hard to predict certain turns in a’road’ that might just be a ton of sand or deep mud (unfamiliar environment). Last time I was in NW New Mexico I was on a hunting trip with friends well over 20 years ago; beautiful country!
We I was a kid my dad took our station wagon everywhere off road fishing hunting I don't think we took it in the sand though he thought it had tracks
@@HalfWarrior it definitely is! We love to hike, so we went there for our honeymoon 4 years ago. There are loads of arches and we spent the week hunting for them, it was a blast!
And to your point about blind turns, I did get out of the car multiple times to scout ahead to ensure the car could make it. We turned around more than once, but there are so many roads out there we were able to get within hiking distance to every arch on our list.
Next time we'll bring something with clearance and 4 wheel drive for sure!
I feel like anyone, growing up anywhere, should be able to figure out that taking a rwd vehicle anywhere except pavement and well maintained gravel roads is a bad idea.
At least he left the splitter guards on 😂😂😂 all that sand under them is really gonna eat the paint
Especially on the V6 models
They were off by the end of the video 🤣🤣🤣
@@dougsisk619 I saw that
Whatever Matt said, go with that.. thanks Rory. Nice to see the dogs out too. And, yes, a brief moment of silence to feel bad for Max
Max's fault. Behave. Matt is top dog. Yes. Matt is my name.
Watching TomTom really made me appreciate how much skill your normal crew has. Its weird to feel stressed out after a MORR video.
"Don't worry all of this will be houses in seven more years" Truer words have yet to be spoken. St George is growing way to fast.
I saw Challenger, Durango then Charger. But I'll go with Rory: "whatever Matt says, go with it." I think Trevor's next job will be stand-up comedy just telling MORR stories. Thanks for Posting.
Google maps is an aid, whose advice is to be considered and rejected if it doesn't seem reasonable. Some people seem to switch off their critical functions when using it.
Happens with GPS in general, not just Google Maps. People take the directions as gospel and forget to use their own eyes and judgement. That and people are terrible drivers with bad judgement 🤣
@@AndrewAMartin I totally agree with you. I was a driving instructor here in the UK. I was glad to retire when I realised that I was putting more unthinking idiots on the road. Personally, I think the test should be much harder and repeated every five years.
My statement is; you have to be smarter than the GPS.
Sometimes I fail to be.
10:38 "Don't worry this will all be houses in 7 more years" had me in stitches. Matt you're the man.
This video was full of absolute gems. “Are you in neutral?” “My bad”
I live in that neighborhood and it's all too true of a statement.
This video shows the value that Lizzy brings to the recoveries and how seamless she makes it look
Where is she...?
And she is gorgeous to?
The magic of good editing, perhaps?
Unlike most human beings including myself, Lizzy can follow instructions!
Shes not there. That's why they kept having issues with TomTom driving.
You should put a Matt's Off Recovery sign at that location, with your phone number and GPS location.
I wonder how many people would actually drive right off a cliff if Google Maps told them to?
It's really amazing how so many people seem to give zero consideration to the road type that they are driving on when they decide to keep going further.
Best comment 😂😂😂
Coyote gets tunnel vision when chasing roadrunner
I just commented on someone else's comment similar to yours some guy followed Google maps off a bridge and killed himself I don't know if it was day or night
Apparently only dodge owners would
I have my own experience getting into this kind of situation that might give some idea how people end up in places their car clearly does not belong. all it took was the right combo of curiosity, boredom, and stubbornness to get me into that mess. getting out on the other hand took an awful lot of dumb luck.
I have a vivid memory of a trip from st. george/hurricane utah to joshua tree np where I decided to see what "avoid highways" kind of route looked like in that part of the country, having grown up and lived in the midwest most of my life. mind you I was in a front wheel drive subcompact. after about 30 minutes it turned to dirt, dirt turned to mud, then there were rocks, then bigger rocks. that car was a trooper, substituting momentum for traction it went through much more than you'd think it ever could. each obstacle felt like I just barely made it, turning back felt like a guarantee of getting stuck so I just kept going. but as I kept going the obstacles got progressively worse. eventually I was just following power-lines, the 'road' was barely different from the rest of the terrain and clealy had only been graded once decades ago for those lines to be put it. the entire time google maps still showed it as a road, giving 0 indication that this did not fit any midwestern definition of a road
I did high-center my car at one point, on a downhill in fact. a little careful digging and I was free, but just barely made it down. zero chance of going back up the way I came, so I stubbornly trudged on. eventually I reached a cliff ledge with a town visible below. the power-lines just went straight over the cliff, what little semblance of road left had fizzled out a while ago.
it took me a few minutes to find that there was thankfully a trail that hugged the cliff edge and led down. a big ditch on one side, a steep drop on the other, and mud thicker than anything I'd hit yet down the middle. moving downhill with a scary amount of momentum was still just barely enough to get through that mud, but I made it. a few hundred feet further and I was back on pavement.
I want to say I spent about 7 or 8 hours, covering about 30 minutes, maybe an hours travel at best if I had stuck to actual roads. if any rocks were a little bigger or mud a bit deeper I wouldn't have made it, either getting properly buried or just breaking my car. a quick glance at satellite view would have told me this was a bad idea, in my mind if it was marked as a road on google maps it shouldn't be any worse than an old gravel road full of pot-holes. clearly not the case, otherwise we'd have a lot less of these kind of videos
It's a provable fact that the wagon trains of the westbound settlers didn't use GPS....... Because, otherwise, they would never have made it to the coast.
Wow someone actually read all that
Worth the read.
You have a lot off patience Matt for people who think they can drive their sport cars where you normally stop and take the banana off the trailer haha.. Des from South Africa.. Love your channel.
Matt: Rory's going to lose the tow truck Olympics.
Rory: Whatever Matt said, go with that.
Rory watching the video: Dammit Matt.
Thanks for the great tip of running the rope around the axle to lower the pulling point thereby not destroying front plastic. Well done.
Michael, the son in the first rescue, will wear that t-shirt until it is a rag and will still be telling the story in 50 years.
I really enjoy these videos. I don’t always laugh out loud. But I was wondering if TomTom was in neutral before Matt asked him. “Are you in neutral?” “My bad!” That made me laugh out loud!😂. And then I was sad when the statement about it all being houses in seven years. 😢
Glad to see matt "removed" the yellow bumper covers on the charger... I read an article about the guy who designed them "only for transport", wished he made them another color. nice recovery!
Always impressed by Matt getting them out with no damage. Having been “extracted” more times than I care to admit that’s not usual practice. Most wreckers will either consider it part of the damage you did or say it was unavoidable.
@@garygrant7920 I'm pretty sure damage happened to this car during the recovery. I don't blame Matt one bit for not posting it, as it really was unavoidable. Those cars are made from recycled soup cans and happy meal toys, if you look at it too hard it'll dent.
Auto body guy here...
@@disgruntledegghead6923 Not to mention using plastic in the engine compartment for almost everything aside from the block and heads. If they could find the technology to use plastic blocks that last until the warranty expires, and save $34, they'd certainly do it. There's so much technology, and so little quality in current vehicles.
@@perryelyod4870 Oh trust me, I know. It's not just Chrysler that does it, every manufacturer does it!
Part of the reason I drive older vehicles. I would hate to see the new junk they build today with twenty or thirty years on em, this providing they even last that long...
Google should never over ride your brains and common sense. Although a lot of people lack both so....
@matts off-road recovery I’ve literally watched every one of your videos from the very first to this one and liked everyone of them you give everyone that’s stuck one of the best-worst days they ever had
"Whatever Matt says go with that!"
Pffffhahaha, those Rory clips are always killing it! Awesome! 😂😂😂
"it'll all be houses in 7 years!"....so insightful!
I love you guys!
Hey Matt, do you ever use those inflatable air bags that some fire departments have for lifting cars? Seems like they would be useful in your off road rescues where you needed to get a vehicle out of a hole! Just wondering! Love your videos brother! HI ED! We'll get em' out!
Rorry will probably have to pull out the ultimate recovery vehicle. From where Matt gets it stuck
The best directions I was ever given was from an old guy at a little gas station in WV. "You can't get theer from heer"
You did them a favor and took the splitter guards off!! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you, Matt that made my day.

And Peanut says, WOOF WOOF!
Best part of the video is that those stupid yellow spoiler guards are off now!
Can’t wait for some snow recoveries!!
Looks like they failed to “dodge” the sand…😉
The elephant arch is pretty cool. I hope they got there.
I figured sending you those clips was gonna bite me someday... And here we are. Hahaha.
Love the last five seconds😂 Just out of curiosity, have any of you hit you heads on the Morvair's roll cage...? :)
Bugs Bunny was the one who coined the phrase "I should have made a left turn in Albuquerque".
You can add cars to Matt's list of trucks he cannot tell the difference between...the cars were Challenger & Charger (2 drs vs 4 drs)....not Charger & Charger... 😉
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery Long name -> short car, short name -> long car, easy to remember ! :p
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery but you know my Expedition! Lol
@@jilliansadventures4679 But it has a name. Matt doesn't need to remember the model
Nice work. I'm a dodge owner and curious to know where did you tie the rope to on the dodge. I couldn't see anywhere I felt would be safe to tie a tow rope to so I ended up just pushing the car with my truck🤦🏽♂️😁
Good job Matt and crew getting the pickup out and the Charger out also!
Bugs Bunny Said i should have took a left turn at Albuquerque 🐰🤣🤣
Thought it was a Challenger, and then a Durango, now a Charger.
@7:02 Yup, thats a Challenger.
😂😂 the clips of Rory are going to come in handy I think 😂
Awesome recoveries and you saved all the cars from getting damaged
I knew I should have taken a left in Albuquerque. - Bugs Bunny
Too much fun with Rory. 😆😆😆 *Whatever Matt says* .
As many have noted in the comments here, the Charger was a GT, which has AWD. What I haven't seen anyone note is that the AWD engages automatically when the temp drops below 40 degrees or if the windshield wipers are on. The other way to get the car into AWD is to put it in Sport mode, which is done by pressing the Sport button on the console directly in front of the shifter... it's right next to the Hazard button. If they had known to do that the recovery would have been a bit easier. I've had a Challenger GT for the past 5 years and have really enjoyed the AWD in the winter, never needing to chain-up once. It's also great when getting started on a wet hill in the rain. I really wish Dodge had made AWD with the 6.4 V8s because I'm gonna miss that when I upgrade to a Scat Pack this spring.
people who live down south blow my mind, you have chains and AWD but you don't have winter tires?
Good morning MORR!! I hope you all have a great day!
Dudes it was a Challenger at first, then a green Charger! Lol
“This is all going to be houses in 7 more years.” That’s a true comment! And very sad.
At one time where you live…it was all wilderness as well.
@@vg3430 yep.
The first rule of MORR is you don't talk about the 5 rules... Ok, breaking that, what are the 5 rules/steps for the driver of the vehicle getting recovered? I *think* if I've been paying attention they are something like: 1, Seatbelt; 2, Parking brake off; 3, Traction control off; 4, In 4 Low if available; 5, in appropriate gear (fwd/rev), no gas with the wheels pointed as directed.
Tom Tom looked good sitting there while Matt did all the digging 👍👍👍
TomTom was making a guest appearance.
I have one of those tiny little shovels in my van!!
Matt tried pulling the vehicle around a 90degree turn and turtled it, he should be the one digging.

My favourite Matt’s Off Road Adventure yet!
10:38 "Don't worry in this is all going to be houses in seven more years." HORRIFYINGLY insane isn't it? Cause, well the SW US has so much water.......
Drop Tom off at the bus stop and go get edd!😭😂
Tom Tom, Matt's Off Road recovery/ Winder Towing does not believe in : Seat Belts, Helmets, Safety Glasses, Hearing Protection, gloves or Life Jackets. Man up take the seat belt off!
Two perfect rescues as always.
To the guy that got his Charger stuck in the sand "DON'T TOUCH MATT'S ROPE!" This episode was missing Lizzy in a big way!
I was laughing so hard when Matt is telling him to give it gas only to find it was in neural. I was crying I was laughing so hard. Thanks for making my day!
Google maps says "you have to walk there from here." Google maps tells me that the "nearest" grocery store is 1 mile away. Yep. Through a dense woods with no trail, across a river with no bridge, and inside an apartment building which you need a keycard to enter. By the way, this is a tiny convenience store. OR I could instead walk straight up my sidewalk, through my quiet residential neighborhood, for 1/2 mile, turn right on the main street, and walk into a shopping district/ total distance 1.1 miles. There is a full sized grocery store, a large drugstore, a wine shop, a bakery, and a deli in that shopping district, but Google maps knows it is farther away than the tiny apartment house store.
You are such compassionate people to go out and help all these stranded people. 👍👍👍
at $150/hour.
Bugs Bunny ............. "I knew I should have taken that left turn in Albuquerque", LOL!!!
People comparing apples to oranges when they start trying to compare Matt to that other guy. Two different businesses targeting different kinds of recoveries. Love em both, neither could replace one another.
Edit: Rory not “the other guy”😂
A few corrections, if I may (forgive me Matt):
1. The prior Dodge you pulled out was a *Challenger* , not a Charger....then the Durango....now the Charger.
2. No V-8 powered Chargers or Challengers were available with AWD - only V6 ones were, so if you know one
is an SRT or R/T, then you can pretty much bet it isn't AWD.
3. Since you've stated more than once that you all can't "judge" customers, I'll assume that responsibility:
The last folks were bloomin' *idiots* , GPS or not, for taking that car out there!
Y'all have fun, see you on the next one (Yay Trevor!),
- Ed on the Ridge
A mechanic once asked me " Have you ever looked up the definition of dodge? I said no and he replied To Avoid. I'll be hear all night thank you
TomTom should be demoted for all the mistakes he made being a veteran with you guys to sweeping shop floors and washing vehicles and giving the dogs a bath 🤣 hands down Mr Irish really doesn't stand a chance you're the best at what you do💪👌
Anyone know what happen with "Winder Towing" name ??? i was see it on the old videos..
Matt change it to MORR ???
CHALLENGER-Durango-Charger
(LOL-ed the “houses in seven years” quip! Ain’t that the truth!)
Most people these days probably don't even get where the " Should Have Made A Left Turn At Albuquerque" reference comes from. Great job and awesome video guys!
Bugs Bunny is what popped into my head.
"Freedom is just another word for Nothing left to do." Kristopherson . I think he meant , can't be bothered by "foresight".
I suspect the GPS's on these rentals are set to a default of 'shortest route' rather than 'fastest.' That setting will direct you off a 6 lane freeway onto a cow path to save 100 yards of distance over a 50 mile drive. . I speak from experience. That would explain why so many wind up in the same wrong place.
Agreed. it pisses me off every time.
I'd like a freeway only option.
Bugs bunny refrance. What a crazy beach. I made a wrong turn at Albuquerque. .
It went challenger durango charger. Man as a car guy that made my gears grind when u said it wrong LMAO
I'm not a dodge guy but I know they'll thank you for pulling those yellow spliter guards off that car. Some people think they look cool but they're for protection during shipping
Rory might be retired by the time you and Fab Rats finish your wreckers. 😜
"Are you in neutral?..."
"My Bad...."
...Story of My Life...Lol..😲
Aren't you glad to be back from SEMA and on the end of a shovel?
3:56 Max you got to get discipline and you could enjoy more freedom
There were more dogs in the frame for that first recovery than an average city park!!! You need PETCO as a sponsor!!!
I'm Rolling on the floor laughing with the Rorey cuts!
Never put the shovel away before you are out. When you put it away it guarantees you are gonna have to get it out and dig again. Same logic works with my snow shovel in Cedar.
Thank you for posting all the great family friendly video's on your channel. I'm way before the GPS era when you could find really good local ,state , parks , very detailed maps that are almost impossible to get today. When I was younger taking cross country road trip adventures in my 1969 Ford heavy duty home made kind of hippy / conversation I was able to find so many interesting points of interest from the old travel map books .
Matt says they are going to use the radios and they are still yelling at each other during jobs 😂 Awesome content as always 👍
Keep TOM in the shop that’s were his gifts are useful. He’s not cut out for recovery.
Bugs Bunny always took a wrong turn in Albequrque.
Who needs Google Maps when you have TomTom? 😂😂
TomTom when the car was in neutral and he tried to press the gas🤣
Love Tom Tom's humour and general input!
Where has Skeeter been? I can’t remember the last video he was in
POV: Matt after adding roads to Google Maps...
Tom's funny even though he's not trying to be.😎
I have noticed an absence of skeeter.weres skeeter gone ?
