Thanks @mattsoffroadrecovery , this was a fun one to figure out. And you better believe I’ll be there.

Oh the good ole VCR days! Glad you made it out there!

The VHS experience is not complete without an analog TV display.

Kind of funny wating everyone struggle with vcrs, its really easy to clean the heads with a q tip and alcohol....back in the day we had to figure that out if we wanted to watch a movie 😂

What do you like to eat at that point. “Food” lol best answer!

Rudy the fact that Matt was able even find blank VHS Tapes is a testiment to your families determination to succeed. Your determination to find a player for a forgotten technology proves it. Dads may seem old and antiquated but they are still Dad. Love them as the old guy that guided you to better things. Keep up the good work Rudy. From a Dad.

Thanks for the ride, everybody else has had the same issues with finding a working VCR. Good job.

I thought of our Cabin in Pine Valley when you needed a VCR / VHS . I think everyone who has a cabin had them . And a thanks for your friend who had a VCR and drove up in his Ranger for you to use it

I am looking forward to this! Thanks for taking us along!!

First off…HOW ABOUT THAT FORD F’ING RANGER BABY!!!! 2nd, that windshield at the end😂… had to be quite the ride home.

I sit here and see how much of a good relationship you and your dad have. Although my relationship with my dad is on par with yours, my pops is getting ready to go under the knife. Cause of his diabetes he will be an under the knee amputate. But he has to go through multiple stress test before then because of his weakened heart condition. And might have to get stents placed. Watching you videos really help me get through tough times like this. A long with other KZfaq videos. I’ve already lost a brother in law and a cousin within these two months. Thank you.

As a child of the 80's, the struggle was real.

I always wondered who ate that food and paid those prices at those stops. Great to see your videos back Rudy

Glad to see that you're going to the Off Road Games. Keep it light and have fun man.

I bet Janelle is so sad to have missed all of that fun mud😂 Rudy you are so like your father, glass is always half full. You always manage to keep a smile on your face, no matter what happens.

I like how, on one side it is the Rudicon, and on the other side it is the Blue-dicon. But by the end of the video it had become the Mud-icon.

Awesome! All the troubles you go to watch a VHS tape... Reminds me of growing up in the 80s!!! On another note, I was noticing that with your back corner repaired, now you're missing half of the name; I was thinking: You could paint the whole panel around that back window in white and redo the names on both sides. That way you get rid of the blue part, get your rig's name back on it, and get both sides looking the same again. Just a suggestion. 🤙

Literally “a message to you, Rudy” by a device from the same era as the song. This one made sense more than the others.

Glad you could Learn something New Rudy… Your Never to Young, To Learn Old Technology.✅👍😎

No fender extenders ..... no mud............ red truck still red ............. thanks for the show !

I love that Matt thought the VHS tapes were a good idea. :D

SO fun watching all the invites figure out how to find a VCR let alone figuring out how to work the VHS tape when it gets stuck. What an ordeal just to get to a VCR...thanks for making this a fun video.

Lol your dad matt is a total crack up with the vcr tapes and rudy you are a crackup love your vidios are great love watchin your exsperiances but you need wipers lol😂

Josh is Lizzy's brother, right? You need some removable fenders like your Dad has for the banana or is it the Morrvair? Fun video. Snow works great at removing mud from windshield.

Matt and his crew has people driving all the world trying to find vhs players.🤣

I had forgotten about all the buzzing and tracking issues with vhs. Fun stuff from the past.

The whole vcr/vhs is just making me giggle 😂😂 should have pushed it in with your toe , that helps 😂😂

Ok, I just have to say that I'm impressed by the little Ranger going where the Rudy was slipping and slipping 😳 😀 🤣. Hello from the high desert of Phelan in the Mohave desert of California. Lenny

Your buddy did a great job replacing that chunk of fender. He either was funning about not having experience, or he remembered what he had seen before.

10:40 Did you rewind it first? 😂 Still awesome to see how old tech was being read lol

Rudy, I am proud of you for thinking ahead with tools. Rudy, you need to shovel the snow to clean your windows. Wow, Rudy Janille will have her work cut out for her getting that clean.

C'mon Rudy. I know you learned a thing or two from Matt. Get some clean snow off the ground with your bare hand and clean the windshield with it!

Try bringing a pump up garden sprayer filled with water to keep your windows cleared. You won't regret it.

I loved the video!! It was too funny!! Paul definitely knew what he was talking about. You might want to either add some extensions to your flares like your dad has or carry a couple of 2 gl. spray bottles that has 1 filled with baby oil & 1 filled with water/rainx. I know dirt track racers spray their cars down with baby oil when the track is real muddy & it makes it a lot harder for the mud to stick. Then use the water/rainx on the glass for better visibility. Spray the undercarriage heavy with the baby oil. Thanks for the great content!! BTW, how are you enjoying the supercharger? I'd love to see how it increased the hp!! Maybe you could put it on a dyno & run it with & without the belt to see the difference!

Great video, real off-road vehicles need to be covered in mud once in a while. Thanks for sharing the adventure!

It seems a bit diabolical that the MORR team put the instructions on a VHS. Look at what Rudy is going through to find a player. Rory and team searched all over Moab for one. Insane but also a fun thing to watch.

Mat is trying his hardest to bring back the VHS

Those Ford Rangers are pretty darn tough.

PS for the mud and our wipers, we use 5 gallon water jugs and our little water pump and we pipe that up to our windshield wiper so we have endless supply of water for cleaning our windshield

"Tracking!!" 😂

Great job getting to the cabin to watch the tape. Everyone I've seen so far has had one heck of a time finding a VCR that actually WORKS!! LOL!! Good luck getting all that mud off of the Rudicon!! 🤣

I miss the simpler times! How can you not love a video with vcr's and a built jeep and a Ranger! Lol. Ps, I daily to work a 93 ranger with 507,000+ miles and still running the original engine transmission and rear end! 💯💪🇺🇲

Off -Grid? Barely running water and having to use a generator to power things? Sounds perfect!

Great video guys ! Being from Michigan, as long as you have snow you can wash your windows ....right .? Well as long as you do it before it freezes or dries .lol keep up the fun and good times .🍻🍻🍻

So knowing what is on that tape as I watch you covering your rig in mud! Not sure rather to laugh or not! Your dad will get a kick out of this

I definitely was getting into your video when the mud hitting the windshield made me BLINK🤣😂🤣

Great piece, thanks.

Hi Rudy I really love your show I will always praying 🙏 for you and your wife and your family and friends ok please be careful out there ok I wach all of your new and old show ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox

Looking forward to The games this year its gonna be interesting. Thanks for the video guy's.

Great view thru your windshield and windows

The joys of rewinding a VHS tape brings tears to my eyes thanks for the memories 😅😊

Awesome! good luck!

Im dumb. Just realized that Matt is your dad. What a special relationship you have!!

Always bring tool's.

A VCR is a Video Cassette Recorder, VHS is the Video Home System format of the video cassette as opposed to the commercial video tape systems. There was also a Betamax format that Sony developed to provide an improved picture and sound. VHS was the first and was cheaper so it was more widely adopted. The television you used to watch the video probably had a VCP, Video Cassette Player that only played videos and didn't record video. Many photo studios used to transfer video tapes to DVD so they might still have a functioning VHS player. The rubber drive belts had a short life and the complicated mechanism used to thread the tape around the play head often resulted in the machine eating tapes.

There’s still a few movies I watch on vhs along with a bear hunt my grandpa and uncle filmed and a family elk hunting trip along with a few other things they filmed, so nostalgic going back to the vcr

My brother took his Jeep and I took my Trooper into a bush road a few miles. We found water holes, mud and a lot of rough road. His tires stick out past the fenders a bit and when we got out of there, he even had mud on his roof. The Trooper was nice and clean. Big difference. Thanks for the video.

Your dad is the best!

I think it's HILARIOUS that so many people have had to go on "scavenger hunts" or fix/dust off old VCR's just to watch you dad's VHS Off Road Games invites! (Good show, Matt!) 😅

Love the Ranger. I have a '01 I inherited from my Dad. I drive it everywhere. Unfortunately, it's not at 4X4. Fortunately, there's hardly anywhere around here I need a 4x4 lol. But I wish it was!

How nostalgic!! Boy, things have changed..!!😂😂

Gotta adjust the settings with vhs to clear up the image just like older radios in vehicles that gave free reign over adjustments of audio

Josh and family have an awesome place..if you’ve gotta mess with watching 90 seconds of a vhs recording you might as well do it in a cool off grid cabin!

VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) is the machine, and VHS (Video Home System) is the format. You had it correct, it was a VHS tape. The other type of VCR was the Beta.

Amazon still sells brand new VHS tape (VCR) players. Even those with HDMI capabilities.

4:24 I ain't no stranger, I know that truck, that's a Ford ducking RANGER!!!

Awesome cabin cool road trail

Good job Matt.

Trail Mater's VHS machine tried to eat their tape, too! hahahaha

HEY! Hello Rudy!

Remove the big amounts of mud, use snow to clean up the bulk of your mess, then washer fluid and the wipers should handle the rest. Coming from a Canadian eh. Cheers 🍻

The Rudicon sounds badass now! You should do forced induction on all your builds.

Yep, frozen VCR's don't load tapes very well. You need to warm them up and run the cleaning tape in them a few time to get everything moving again before attempting to load a tape you actually need to watch. BTW: You could have just mailed the tape to fellow KZfaqr like Ted Lear of Pop's Digital World and he would have put it on any media of your choosing. It likely would have cost less than just the car washes alone never mind the fuel and pizza. For kicks you could put your response on a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk or have perhaps see if Pop can put it on a Super8 Sound Movie or some other obscure and long obsolete media perhaps even a old style 12 inch Laser Disk or 2 inch wide real to real video tape. Best!

HAHAHAHA EVERY ONE I WATCHED HAD THE DREADED TAPE EATER STRIKE!!!

I remember splicing broken VCR tapes with a razor blade and cellophane tape. It seemed to work just fine.

Oh Cletus 😂 funny guy.

Stand alone, Rudy! Your dad's show is not fun like it was in the old days. Don't know why, but some say he has got a mentor

Be kind Rewind!!

Oh man I didn’t realize you were a miracle whip guy. 😂

I love that the stock ford Ranger looked like it was doing better off-road then the purpose built off-road vehicle.

It’s kinda crazy watching this fully custom jeep go up a muddy snowy road slipping sliding and all and than just a stock ranger doing the same thing no issues hahah love the content ether way

great job

Josh's cabin is really nice!

Yes, big wide tires are great for sand, not so good for mud!

It is most funny watching the off roaders try to find a VCR and get it working.

I was at the Chevron in Mt Carmel yesterday! Bought a bag of nuts. But I didn’t see you guys 😢.

Oh do I remember those days of stuck tapes in the old VHS players, was so happy to be rid of them.

Miracle Whip for the win!

Your local library would have a vhs . But not as much fun getting there i bet

That was a big bird that shat on ur windshield 😂

Good morning Rudy. Did you know that the Rudicon leans to the passenger side when you are driving? I noticed that in this video and I wasn't aware if you are aware of it

Time for some fender flares? Glad the algorithm brought me back again!

If your Dad made the tapes wouldnt it have been safe to assume he had a VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) you could used? Maybe. Lol The clean snow on the ground would have been a great source to clean your windshield for the drive home.

If your wipers and heater work you should use snow for water to clean the windshield next time 🍻

Build a custom off road vehicle or buy a Ford ranger. Same same

The VHS trip is a great excuse to go wheeling but in case you don't have time for all that,Rad dog,the public library might have a VHS player as well.

That eye roll though 🤣

VHS is Video Home System, it's the type of format, like how DVD, BlueRay and LaserDisk are all disk formats for video (good luck finding a player if your dad decides to do it with a LD next year). That working player also happens to have a Beta tape slot, that's an other 90s cassette video format. VCR is a player that can also record, stands for Video Cassette Recorder.

I guess Matt using the VHS is a part of the adventure. Finding one that still works from the lack of use takes a while for most except the older generation. I have a combo VCR and compact disc recorder so I can transfer the older videos and edit out what I don't want. The amount of mud on the Rudicon compared to the Ranger looks like you had been on a totally different trail. You should have paid for his truck wash though for his efforts, gas and time.

The Rudicon with the 1 tons and the supercharger is just a total vibe at this point. love it!
