Are We On The Right Trail?

We got a call for a Polaris RZR that was at the clutch (also known as the chute), at the top of double sammy, at sand hollow.
Initial reports was it was missing 2 wheels, but it had the wheels on, just 2 busted axles, and a broken tie rod.
We got up there easy enough, and got it loaded rather easily.
With a couple of tries we were able to get moving, but Matt got a little disoriented, and headed off to the right.
That's were the fun really started, once headed that way we were kinda committed to following it, and everybody else wound up follow us.
Pretty simple in a RZR, but not so much in a stock Cherokee!
Jaymie did an excellent job, although maybe a little fast!
Incredible scenery, it was a beautiful trail!!
Anyway we made it through, and back to the sand, and got the RZR back to their trailer.

Hi Matt, if you had to do this sort of work in something different to the XJ what would you choose?

[@zuestoots5176]

@@MattsOffRoadRecovery the XJ is like the worst option for all of this. He has been infected with that Heap problem. A 4wd 4.0 Ranger will kick that fuck out this Pile for half the price. My AWD 03 Passat will go through about 90% of what the Stupid Jeep has. Driver skill is KEY

[@Texas2WheeledRider]

@@zuestoots5176 Show us with videos. I doubt a Passat has the ground clearance for most of the work Matt does and lacks the towing capacity to pull a trailer with an atv on it as Matt has done in several videos.

One of the hardest working camera crews in the business. Running that terrain is no joke, and the stabilization on the camera amazing too.

I thought maybe they were using a drone until he use it to close the door on the RZR, then I figured they were using mountain goats

I believe he has some kind of stabilization mount. There's plenty of choices out there and they make it so you can run around without it shaking too much.

Great stuff.

4:10 for people who don't know anything about towing, he puts the winch on specifically like that so if like something happened and that hook comes loose or whatever while under tension, because the hook is facing up it will send the hook into the ground and not into the air possibly hurting someone. just a little tip/lesson.
