My Grandpa told me something years ago that i think applies to this video, and to the difference between Matt and alot of the people he rescues. A lot of people give up and say they are stuck when they can't go the direction they want to. In reality you are not stuck until you cant go anywhere. If you work with where you can go, you may find a different way to get to what you want to go.

[@MamaJLW]

I think that applies to just about anything in life. If you work with your abilities and opportunities, you’ll find a way to accomplish what needs to be done or learn what you need to learn or change what you need to change or….. well, you get the idea.

That was super gnarly. Almost looked like those videos from Windrock this year. Also, I have a portable Ryobi air compressor that I recommend since you (and also, I) don't have onboard air. Pretty compact, and on my JL, it airs up four 35s from 15 PSI to 30 PSI in about 15 minutes. One extended battery (4 Ah) will do all 4 tires (tho I always bring two, just in case). I will always throw it in the back any time I think I might want to go off road since having one and not needing it is better than needing it and not having it.

@@PuBearsticksI’m surprised they don’t have an air compressor. Matt is always letting the air out of his tires for sand, and better grip. He has to have a way to get the pressure back up.

Simple upgrade to fix this. Trailworthy fab hero 6x6 case. It has two rear output shafts. Use the second output shaft to add a pto on the back of the tow vehicle with a pillow block bearing or similar kind of like a tractor. Add drive axles to the trailer and add a driveshaft that ends in a pillow block near the hitch, leave enough space for your tractor pto shaft which you will use to connect the trailer driveshaft to the output shaft now mounted on the rear of your vehicle. The twf transfer case has both rear outputs on the same stick. You will have twin stick controls but as long as your trailer has the pto shaft connected the wheels will drive. Make sure you use a pto slip clutch on the shaft, it is standard tractor hardware, the shaft and slip clutch can be purchased off the shelf. You just need to swap the transfer case on the tow rig and add the axles and driveshaft to the trailer. There are also ways to add steering, if you choose to do that I recommend Ram 5500 axles, the fronts are 7k. Additionally, in order to use tandem axles you will need to add a 1:1 drop box to the trailer, for tridem you’ll need two. I would just use a pair of rear axles gears wheels and tires to match the tow rig for optimal performance, but you can use different axles with the same gear ratio and tires, or you can change the ratio and use different size tires. There is a math equation for that, but you’ll have to ask a tractor bro because I don’t know it.

BTW - no matter what, we always have an air pump, a couple of planks, and hi-lift jack w/recovery gear and it's always gotten us by, except the time one of our trucks broke an axle & a couple of guys have to camp out overnight while we went to town to get an axle & more tools. Fortunately the weather was good. Appreciate & enjoy your recovery adventures!

Well the Morrvairs gone , the bananas gone , the tangerines gone, I guess we're going to do rescues in the Golden Nugget today

[@TheRealStructurer]

Trevor back in business, Lizzie sent out into water by boss (again!) and the Banana is now only 3 wheel drive (?). Great episode 👍🏻

[@TheRoostersGarage]

He doesn't run a locker in the rear. I think he runs a Torsen style diff and this is the only time I've seen it be an issue.

[@philb5593]

He likes to use limited slip differentials. Both the Banana and Morrvair always has had some kind of limited slip. Never seen it struggle with locking up on this channel. Interesting.

[@TheRoostersGarage]

@@philb5593 This is the exact scenario a LSD of any sort falls short - one tire "in the air" or unweighted and the other pinned. The rear tire that was spinning had very little weight and the other tire with the weight had all the traction. If it is a Torsen style, hitting the brake could have helped to offset the differential difference. A clutch style LSD would just slip the clutches no matter what as far as I know.

Just awesome rescues and so fun to watch. I like how many people you include in your rescues. The rain made this rescue even more entertaining. Love it

[@janicelucas8561]

Of all the rescues I've watched, THIS ONE REALLY MADE ME NERVOUS!! Good job.

[@blythewarland5459]

looks like it needs lockers if it's going to do any more of those sorts of recoveries. Great vid as always

[@stargazer7644]

You think the banana doesn’t have lockers?

I think that tree saved you this time Matt and having an impressive crew with you. You almost bit off a little more than you could chew, but as usual, you always find a way to come through. Kudos to you and your team. Stay safe.

[@boblewis3444]

For all the different conditions you guys run into on a recovery, I would think you would always carry a 12 volt air compressor as part of the normal equipment you always keep in the truck.

AND GIVE UP THE SUSPENSE ?

[@philb5593]

Matt will tell you it’s only 1 in 100 jobs that he needs to adjust tires.

@Matt's Off Road Recovery I got my recovery rope from the live stream. I cannot say thank you enough! Keep up the great work.

[@richardthomas1743]

An portable air compressor would be handy to have on board.

[@fespa]

My job is also physically hard, but I am learning with you and your crew that I can do it with good spirits and a smile on my face (well, I am up to half a smile but improving 😏). Great video, great camera placement. Can I suggest a google maps with the location of your rescues? Cheers from Germany.

[@djluminol]

I'm assuming you do some kind of trade work? It used to make me mad having to deal with an angry old guy at work all the time. As I got older I realized they serve a purpose. The work can be dangerous and without a cranky old guy around to keep everyone in line the likelihood someone gets hurt goes up dramatically. So while I still find it annoying they're needed I understand why they exist now and why they're so common. So maybe it's not so bad if you're the cranky guy.

[@tallll70]

@@djluminol Google Maps most likely don't have these trails mapped, maybe other services like Onx

[@itsKemia]

I love how it's a 20 year old Jeep Cherokee that is capable of all this. Granted its far from stock, I always imagine being in the shoes of a customer thinking "This is what they brought to get my 1 ton truck with a trailer out of the sand?" And yet everytime, they get'em out!

[@JT-SE-OHIO]

I always think that even more when they use the Moorvair. When the customer is asked "so how did you get out?", "Well your not going to believe this but it was a corvair, loaded with happy people, a couple dogs and cameras. They even gave me a shirt before they left".

[@michaelzdanis3979]

A really good high pressure 12v compressor is about $200. Yes, they run hot. Yes, they don't generally last very long. But when you need them, you can't beat them. Just put one scratch that two on every rescue vehicle you have. Replace the ones the die.

I was gripping the edge of my seat wondering, is Matt gonna make it up that with the general?!! 🤔💭 U handled your candle real good on that recovery as u guys always do! Good job!! 💪😎

[@jonnyb9982]

I had a strange dream last night that I was working for Matt's offroad recovery. I was tasked with organizing the shop, which in my dream looked like my friends shop. and Matt was a real a-hole to work for, which is the funniest because he doesn't give me that impression at all.

I can't believe Lizzie's sleeping spells. She could be the co-driver in a rally car and forget she's calling notes as she falls asleep. Fantastic recovery, btw!

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

It's nice that Matt let Trevor out to run during the recovery.

[@jdmather5755]

He will probably be reported for cruelty.

[@keithvanpolen9049]

Great video!! Lizzy is such a trooper and always has a great attitude.

[@sicily6740]

Matt, it seems you recover a lot of vehicles with one wheel badly damaged. Would it make sense to weld up a ski with a way to lash it to the broken part? My thought is the ski would slide over the ground and up the ramp much more easily than the broken stub. Enjoy your videos!

[@timmer1229]

Lizzy is a definite asset to your team! Very talented. I'm impressed.

[@Ganiscol]

No, no! That cow wasnt worthless, that cow remembered what momma cow told her: "Dont let strangers in a car talk to you, Daisy!" 😅 And I love the perspective from the Banana's belly! Very informative! 😊
