Recovering A Jeep In Nasty TEXAS MUD

[@leskobrandon538]

This is like watching Matt's Off-road recovery channel!.. Awesome Video

[@SQLRYAN]

I was just thinking that myself

[@ClinttheGreat]

I love Matt’s channel.

One day Jeep is going to have an epiphany and re-release the XJ, and we'll have another 17 years of pure Jeeping bliss.

[@orbelgalvarado]

KL is going to get the same nostalgia as the XJ. People don’t remember how much crap the XJ took first 10 years until people start to really modify them when the working class was able to afford them.

[@kjhaglfjhgfasd]

See the release of the Wagoneer... Ya... I dont trust them with the precious XJ remodel lmao.

[@EigerSummitOffroad]

@@kjhaglfjhgfasd Good point. lol. But we can always hope!

[@bennmustang1]

Jeep doesn't exist any more... Its ran by Fiat cough, actually Stellantis. Last of the AMC powered jeeps was in 2010 with the power tech 4.7 V8 and the 3.7 V6 (their first and last v6 ever produced). They are owned by an Italian company. Before that Benz which is why the WK2 has mercedes benz stamped all over it. The benze logo is stamped under the dash and on the differentials if you get and chance go look. The Durango, Challenger, Grand Cherokee WK2, and Charger are all based of Mercedes platforms. Jeep has been dead for a while only in namesake does it exist and barely even that...

[@louiscostanzo5595]

That epiphany will be over shadowed by the fact that they will make it super luxury, it will cost a small fortune, and it will be extremely unreliable.

[@jimellison3358]

Great video, that looks like a all wheel drive rather than a four-wheel-drive, the grand Cherokee Trailhawk is a true four-wheel-drive. I really enjoyed seeing the whole family out together that's what life's all about.

[@MichaelMiller-rg6or]

Just for the record, that Grand Cherokee is a Laredo trim. The Laredo trim is only a very basic 4WD system. It has no low range and consists of a series of open diffs. The good 4WD system with low range and the rear E-LSD can be had on the Limited trims and above only.

[@WolfCross]

It's also not trail rated.

[@MichaelMiller-rg6or]

Wolf Cross Adventures that too. Lol

[@justdotheconstitutionjdtc5252]

"What did we learn?" We learned that it really helps to have a friend with TWO jeeps!

[@jimbo_v3540]

lol, that’s some gnarly mud! Absolute right, worst part of being in mud is the clean up

[@4wheeling]

Some of the best days are when you get to help someone out.

[@michaelmurray2592]

That was a great video Ben! I love that the family was able to get out and help someone in need. You have such a beautiful family!

[@alberteller7286]

Great job and as for as the dog he looks like he is eating good and country does hardly ever get lost. The kids look like they had a great time They will remember for the rest of their life . Great video.🙏🏻

[@mikehoffman3690]

Hey Ben. We’re stuck in the mud 40 minutes away. I’m on my way. That’s a great friend. 🤟

[@zzz7zzz9]

I used to get those calls all the time.

[@ricardobernal8897]

Welcome to Texas, that clay is notorious for trapping 4x4s, also its On the sides of many highways here, webb and la salle counties both have alot of that sticky messy clay.. hard as a rock when its dry too. Worked ranches for 20 years, best thing to do, leave the truck at the barn and work out of a polaris, or mule.

[@Donnut123]

Me, my wife and kids, and some guys from our Jeep/4x4 club were out last winter. I buried my Jeep, turned into a very technical 3 hour recovery process. Great time though, after it was done I bought drinks at a middle of nowhere bar where we had dinner. It was fun!

[@carolsdarksarcasm4223]

Best childhood memories always include off roading or racing. Lucky girls!!!

[@civilizeddelinquent563]

Easy now folks....at least it’s not a Patriot or a Compass

[@bloroxcleach]

or a renegay

[@leskobrandon538]

MUD Tires are 70% of the solution & the traction control algorithm that can not be fully turned off is a 20% hindrance.

[@matthorton1906]

No recovery hooks but trail rated ????

[@likeorasgod]

It's a Grand Cherokee Laredo model. Which is like the most basic model you can get of the GC, hell it might even had 2 wheel drive....lol

[@rashidm4907]

Hal its easy to get stuck in mud even with M/T tires and 4x4

Wow! Good friend ben to the rescue!

Warn does have winches with electric solenoids for the free spool. mine is 6 years old. it is called the ZEON Platinum.

[@4n461]

Love mine.

[@gsrious]

Warn xeon platinum - clutch switch is on the remote(electric solenoid)

[@daniels2761]

Pro tip: on a muddy, sloped road, you'll always slide into the ditch if you try to pull someone in reverse. You have no control of the direction your vehicle goes if the front is attached to the vehicle you're pulling. If you turn around and pull with the rear, you'll have much better control and won't need to winch.

[@romannarvaez9949]

Y'all ever thought about joining the RGV Mud and Sand recovery group on Facebook???

[@GSTroop348]

Great recovery been! Always fun to watch your channel. Even if it’s you playing in the mud doing a recovery.

[@NH2112]

Your comment about overheating the winch reminded me of the Warn 8074 (8274 without freewheel knob) that I had on my Scout II. I abused the hell out of that thing, melted battery cables & smoked the paint off it more than once, but it never once failed me. The funny thing is they have less powerful motors and abysmal gearing when compared to the M-series, but people pay 2 grand for them. Fast unloaded line speed is important to some, I guess! I prefer the torque of my M8000, some of the skidder paths I get my TJ stuck on need every lbf it can give.

[@mistercamaro1]

That Texas mud is no joke! Worst part of wheeling in mud, the clean up.

[@HBGEB]

Dude, Welcome to the deep south. No hills but plenty mud 😂

[@furripupau]

Hook each end of a standard tow rope to each lower A-arm, then attach the pull strap to the middle of the tow rope, and pull from there. Will allow a straight pull and distribute the forces through both sides of the rear end.

[@rarityd]

1st time here and saw how good you guys are to one another. Sub

[@benniesalinas9353]

If you are worried about the winch, you should get a better one. Warren has gone down hill in reliability. The harbor freight bad lands winch had been awesome for me, I live in south Texas too.

[@kylancook3477]

[@thatmar1neguy]

Cas please be careful when I first drove with the LSTJ I took a left on 3 wheels

[@TroyPosey]

Then you didn't have enough power... Enough power and the rear tires would be spinning through the turn, not up in the air. 😉

[@rebert69]

I own a grand Cherokee overland with the better 4wd and air suspension and does very good off road because I have the right tires. That jeep has highway tires which was it's curse. You seem to talk down on the GC but they're good.... almost took mine as far as I could with my CJ7....

[@tonyvet2278]

That looks like a rental, New York plates in Texas

[@EigerSummitOffroad]

Or, they are military buddies with the Jeep registered in NY while working in Texas.

[@donoberloh]

Sorry I missed you reply. It was a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk (limited?). $78k worth of dissatisfaction. I am probably jaded though, Having fully built for Desert running, rock crawling, jumping, and over landing vehicles. Jeeps I have built since mid-seventies... ‘55 CJ-5. ,’64 CJ-6 (very rare) ‘72 CJ-5, ‘78 CJ8, ‘79 CJ-7, ‘89, ‘ 90, and ,92- Wranglers, 84 Cherokee . Non -Jeep’s: 2-‘76 Ramchargers, ‘69, ‘70, and ‘71 Blazers, ‘ 76 and ‘78, ‘82, ‘88, ‘and 96 Broncos, ‘74 Dodge 2500 4-door short-bed, ‘84 Chevy 3500, ‘79 F250, ‘90 F350, not counting the numerous Japanese mini garbage. Lol. Current project: 1974 M1 deuce and a half- multi (fuel engine) So I expect a lot from a Jeep that’s supposedly a worthy off-road trail hawk.

[@imchris5000]

the warn zeon winches have electronic clutch control also that winch can go all day at that little capacity but using the winch as a tow rope is hard on it

[@vinuezaer]

Fun one. Now I need to come over so you can help me put on the coil packs.

You should look into getting a J-hook. Just shackle it to a bubba rope and you can hook to suspension or frame parts.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

tip: don't ever pull in reverse like that on your winch or you can destroy the drum brake inside. always free-spool, re-lock it, and winch them toward you.

What happened to the dog? Did yall call the owner (tag on the collar), or take it to the local shelter to get surgery and help?

[@TroyPosey]

@LiquidForceXBMC I didn't realize it was a 3-legged dog. I thought it was hobbling because it had gotten hit by a car on the busy road right there.

[@TroyPosey]

@LiquidForceXBMC Getting around fine, and being in chronic pain are not the same thing. I live in chronic pain from back trauma that caused permanent nerve damage, I know what it feels like. Trust me, it's not fun to live in chronic pain. Plus, dogs deserve better. They're the greatest animals we ever domesticated. Their loyalty and empathy is unprecedented. They are "man's best friend" for a reason. 🐾 👍🏻
