How about a trailer? Just saying

Scott Ellis trail is too rough for a roll back. Jeep trailer not large enough.

@@scottellis7618 flatbed truck wouldn't make it up there his off road trailer has been cut up for weight saving so weaker and is only long enough for a 4 door razor. The truck and trailer that he pulls his jeep with maybe wouldn't have made it to that spot.

🤣

brilliant piece of marketing. LOL

When it gets to the garage and the mechanic says who packed this out with cardboard 🤣

he take what he had.. so this is offroad recovery, take that what u have

No. She’s a freaking moron. The entire situation is from being a moron. Anything she does or says is suspect.

I had a Jeep pickup once and I was doing something underneath it, but I was having a lot of trouble. (I have no idea what I was doing at the time, this was 40 years ago.) My wife hear me cussing up a storm and crawled under the Jeep with me. She looked at the problem that I was having, and said, "why don't you do this?" I almost yelled at her to get out of here, but I took a deep breath and then looked at her idea. It worked like a charm. I am soooo glad that I kept my tongue in check THAT time. I have not always been able to do that. LOL

@@johnmadsen37 So John, I take it that you have never ever hit a rock out 4 wheeling. You are so fortunate, OR, you do not go off the pavement much. Good for her for even trying a road like that. She had enough smarts to stop and access the situation, and then call for help. Remember, people that live in glass houses should not throw rocks.

@@johnmadsen37 😂

@@Rat-Builder yes I have, I get out at least once a week. Since working from home I can sneak out a couple times a week. The reason why I called her a moron is because morons are unaware of the situation around them. If you’re on the trail first of all you know rocks and things protruding that specific angles can cause specific damage to specific areas of the vehicle. Like hitting the tire and wheel at the right spot or on the inside of the wheel where the shock mounts are or the transmission or axle hub and any other low lying parts. Somebody that is aware and going out in the middle of nowhere will understand the basic low parts of the vehicle. Then they will look at the route understanding that they can get stranded and then bad. Now a moron would simply drive around at high speed hitting rocks and whatever else because the vehicle and their understanding is some tool and it’s just going to go over and through things and then if Something Happens well Something Happens. And there are a lot of people like this but they are easy to see because you can just see their lack of understanding of the physical world around them. So yes. She is a moron. And Everything I listed is extremely very basic common sense. Even a very stupid person that would take the five minutes to think about it would be able to understand this. Why you believe you need to defend this king of idiots is a whole other question. And she has actually been on this guys videos before meaning she is a repeat retard. And she is an older adult which implies a certain level of competence in basic though processes.

Same, this was pretty good problem solving challange

@@RD-km4yi Possibly, they never drink coffee but they drink a lot of Mountain Dew

@RD, I know plenty of high strung mormons who don't act like him, I would probably say it's more like Matt is just a good dude, who also happens to be LDS.

YEA The other guys should save the drama for their mama, this is enjoyable and I learn what I do wrong when I go 4x4'n which is most "EVERYTHING!!!"

R D Mormons are the best!

Church is the place all sinners go. No one is perfect. Yes some are better than others as individuals or at least are fortunate to have better coping meganisms than others. I live in South Africa and am a mormon too. Proud to see Matt as a classic example of a good human being regardless of his religious beliefs. Love this channel. Good wholesome entertainment that the whole family can watch.

Nice work Matt! I just started my channel where I take trucks to the mountains and bag on em. Hoping to make some people laugh.

100% agreed!

I had that in my head the whole time.

How cms fix things that eos brake.

Absolutely, I once fixed a large radiator hole with tree gum chewing gum, soap and mud - I managed to go about 100 miles (to a garage) at a reasonable speed.

That’s what navy wives say too 😉

haha i would have loved to see that; i liked the two truck driver's reaction

And the lady will never admit knowledge of the massive rock.

@@Friend_of_the_One-Eyed_Ladies 😂😂

I got yelled at at a dealer where I had bought e NEW car with sub standard plug caps, of which half disintegrated on my way home on the highway one dark night. I pulled over, looked around and found a nice bunch of old fencing wire, with which I replaced all the ht wires - and made sure nothing touched where it shouldn't! I told that steel bands worked fine in the old days, so why not now - and what would he have done in the middle of the night, hours from anything if he was a mechanic with a broken down pos. You're a mechanic? You know what you did?!? he asked. Yes, I'm a mechanic, and I believe i knew what I did, since this bodge job got me home. He was all smiles after that.

The dealer is probably subscribed.

@@leifvejby8023 I would have told him that I am the reason that he has a job and I would sincerely appreciate it if he would hold his opinion until requested. He would give me a little snap back and I would then remind him that I am not here for him. He is here for me. Customer service is truly a dying art. Matt's Off Road Recovery is a living testimonial to the power of great customer service.

Silicon with the milk jug that would work to get you home

One time I made a head gasket out of candy wrappers. It wasn't pretty, but it got us home. -- MacGyver

I've made more than a few milk carton gaskets with a ball peen hammer... never seen much need for those store bought gaskets when I first started driving

Have had a cereal box gasket with silicone for more than 6 years now, works great.

Yep, cardboard and some silicone works just fine

I worked on the French made Gazelle helicopter. Imagine having to chase after an aircraft grade metric nut in the dirt.

@@obsoleteprofessor2034 I did drop a ball out of a check valve and it landed on a shot rock road (blasted rock) It went down the cracks, never to be seen again. Million dollar machine down for a $1.00 check ball. Of course I had nothing even close to it on the truck. I feel your pain...

You made me think of the dark night I had to replace the high tension wires with fencing wire - cracked exhaust manifold melted the original wires. You should have heard what they told me at the garage!! :-D

@@leifvejby8023 Not sure who said it first, might have been Plato. "Necessity is the mother of invention" When you are miles from nowhere in any direction, you learn how to make do. Brilliant fix by the way. and I can just imagine what was said.

... Matt: What options do you have in stainless or brass cards that can function as shims in a pinch?

@@dustinmeier9753 I do this with batteries. Have some bits and bobs of random copper I find on the roadside that I jury rig into spacers for loose terminals. Even a soda can tab (no paint on those) will work in a pinch and work quite well... at least until the acid gets to them.

You must post 3 videos a day... because I have seen all your clips twice... Your Iranian fan We love your channel Good luck and please let me know your adress so we can send you some gifts. We love Add and Randy

@@familyrelaxation6057 If you go to the channels page, there is a way to get an email address for him. Perhaps he'd be more inclined to give his mailing address that way.

The question is are the new cards going to come with precut holes or have the hole cut so you can press out the centres?

its called warrenty lol. If you take your car offroading you can't claim a dang thing, but if it just bends then you're gtg

@@christopherkatz9484 warranty doesn't usually cover bent arms. They almost never bend because they are defective.

the same way people hit curbs as that was more of a brush then a straight on hit

@@christopherkatz9484 yeah, except that doesn't work since you can usually tell a vehicle that has been offroaded. Besides a manufacturer can just decide that your new rims and tires put excessive angle loads on it and bent it, warranty voided

To be very fair here, can be hard to see shit like that rock at the side of a tight corner on a trail, kind of all the same color and blind spots around truck can be several feet away from the corner. If your not familiar with the trail or don’t do a lot of off-roading successfully it’s pretty easy to slam into seemingly obvious stuff because you missed it. Give the fact this person seems slightly unaware they hit a specific rock and just heard horrendous noises or so they claim to me says A; not familiar with off-roading, B; genuinely had little idea what they hit or if they hit anything.. this won’t validate any warranty claim any differently. A bent arm typically won’t be warrantied weather that’s for the best or the worst if it’s bent or sheered in central location warranty won’t be upheld on that specific item. Bent arms indicate you smacked into something with force. If it sheered where the bolt attaches then you have a better chance at a warranty as long as it isn’t also bent… the bend is key.

MrWinger1951 yeah, because women don’t know anything about cars.

drink15 well I know a lot of women mechanics thats know a lot in cars. You would be suprised at how many females are knowledgeable in cars and things like that.

MrWinger1951 how did she hit both those rocks?!!

drink15 go try that somewhere else dumbass

@@jacobdiotte9150 yep I know a few women who know more about vehicles then I do. When I don't know how to fix something on my car they are the first people I call.

I was thinking the same thing. Lol

i was wondering what happens if brakes get hot...lol

@Mountain Man You need glasses and a hearing aid.

LOL! That was me, thinking that this lady needs to just shut up already.

@Mountain Man I have no idea what you're reffering to, much less the message you're trying to convey.

Had a flat on an equipment trailer no spare my truck fit it but drop center put tire against frame, only took me 100 yards that something bad wrong. Blue smoke was a hint. Stopped turned tire over all good

That was just pure and absolute genius thinking outside the box.

If I could only get my Tacoma to sound like that jeep

I wouldn't imagine that those things would have the structural integrity to allow enough torque to keep that wheel from bobbling all over the place. Impressive feat.

@@amzarnacht6710 oh it was bobbling a bit hence why he called for the rollback to meet them at the trailhead definiotely would not want to go over 10 mph with it like that

So much better than anything out of hollywood.

I read that and it sounded like I was reading about myself. Exact same story. These videos are awesome. Keep up the good work Matt and crew.

yeah same, i also enjoy watching these before i go to bed ! subscribed after the 1st video i saw.

So Samson, in watching every one of matt's video's , did it ever slip ,via customer, of what the cost is/was for any of his service calls . It's driving me nuts ,just wondering what these dummies have to pay for something they could mostly do themselves if they carried a decent jack and a shovel .

@@rickobrien4025 insurance usually pays.

yeah dude, believe me, ukrainian army got that too )

Still do. Look up the MRAP's used in Iraq...see those long white things that arcfrom the hood to rear ramp gate...yeah, PVC pipe put there to protect the gunner from the low-hanging wires (aka extension cords draped house to house).

Bob Konigsberg McGyver would be so PROUD!

Like the army using frozen tootsie rolls to repair a damaged gas tank. You use what you can.

I was a mechanic in the army. It’s called BDAR, battlefield damage assessment and repair. We trained on how to repair it with whatever we could find to limp it back to our motorpool. I’ve used tape on radiator hoses, 550 cord for belts, I once laced a tire sidewall with safety lacing wire and a bunch of tire repair kits and glue and got it home. And drove a 6x6 cargo truck with a tire missing and the axle chained to the frame. You do what ya gotta do to get it back.

Stuff like this is why we always take Rob with us. Most people can make a sandwich with peanut butter and jelly and loaf of bread . Rob can hand you back a fully functional nuclear bomb with those 3 ingredients lol. I've never seen anything he can't fix or rig to get you home. He makes Macgyver look like Gilligan

You wouldn't want to do that on a Toyota 😂

@Doc Zed: I wouldn't try that on aluminum. Steel might be okay.

Ya, could work, but like other two replies, could snap it in two. Bent is bent. But to bend bent back is broke....

@@jake8647 Rigid axles are still the best for offroading...

I knew I would see a reference to Macgyver. That's the first thing I thought. LOL. 😂

My comment is about McGyver too without seeing this ones 😅 I spelled wrong though 🤷 English is my third lenguaje

@@BenG78 LOL. Mr. Angus, I'm not sure I spelled Macgyver right either although Google says it's Macgyver. I speak only two languages so you're ahead of me. 😁

I would most definitely buy that!

I'll take 2 XXL 🍁

Yes, please. I would buy some!

I'll order two. XL in Black, please. 🤣✌🏻

Fender washers.

@Erroll Leggo me too

Well, this one proved that's a good idea

while I tend to agree it's not a good idea for anything meant to last, even if you heated the entire wheel to a thousand degrees, the tire would melt before the pressure change would be dangerous. never mind just heating a small portion of the steel raising the total air volume by maybe a hundred degrees if they really took their time with it. even if the tire was at working pressure, say 50 psi, it would only be at 60 psi after heating.

@@johngaltline9933 i know a person that had a tire blow up welding on the wheel, seriously injured him.

@@ryanratzlaff1012 Did some idiot seat the tire with starting fluid or fill it with fix a flat or some other flammable thing? Filled with just air, any automotive tire will handle many times it's load rater pressure when unloaded.

@@johngaltline9933 nope, just the superheating factor

Yeah it’s literally like a bomb

Business cards are expensive too... I'm surprised he did that. Why he brought a handful of extra lug nuts as spacers instead of washers is beyond my level of understanding.

@@turgsh01 Probably what he saw or had handy.

turgsh01 Toyota lug nuts are conical/self centering, flat washers are not

@@samburger077 what the fuck are you talking about?

@@turgsh01 seriously wtf is he talking about

What Matt didn't show was that he got her an icepack for her wrist..... probably.....

I felt like telling her to pound sand.

She was probably yakking on that phone!

I was eating outside a drive-through when an older lady drover over the 10 inch curb by the order sign, front and rear. Made a hell of a noise. She got out and looked at the drivers side and didn't see any damage. Probably because it was the passenger side tires that thumped the curb.

That how broady knobs break thumbs, not paying attention. Great fix Matt.

Maybe Matt should add a hole in his business cards for "emergency wheel spacers " ?

I'm glad he didn't start cutting off his pant legs and folding them back and forth as a spacer.... (hmmm....)

I was like why not put a thick spacer

I know you’re going to go slow until you get it to the rollback.🤔

Whole time I was thinking when was that flimsy jack going to let go,,,
