I work fire lookouts each summer. No cell service for large portions of the forest. I bring my starlink with me (rv version subscription) and can use WiFi calling from my phone with it. Most of the time it’s stowed away, but sometimes I’ll drive with it connected from the bed of the pickup and an inverter. It’d be a cheap safety feature to have on these recoveries (cell phones working, internet and satellite imagery, accept customer payments, etc.). Also, it’s a great backup for the house when the internet goes down and works great for getting info while camping for prolonged periods of time.

[@Duu2]

Awesome system! That is smart! Two providers are working on emergency bare cell service from space world-wide. The plan is to provide it for free / included. It will save lives!

The guy got impressively far out there in a 2 wheel drive truck and I'm betting if the truck had not broken he probably would have made it back out.

I can confirm that is a very remote, gnarly trail. Glad to see that boulder still in the road to force you dangerously close to the edge.

Per Kevin and Brittany, blue on OnX means that path is verified/validated recently. I think green just means it hasn't been verified within a year, or 6 months. Blue might mean someone with OnX has driven that road and verified that it is still drivable. OnX is community-driven, so everyone together helps rate the trails, provide pictures, and verify trails.

[@steveholder7289]

[@JT-SE-OHIO]

The wrecker is just plain awesome. It's not something converted from a road vehicle to an off-road one it is purpose built for the type recoveries that Matt is called upon to do. Matt should be so proud to say I (and crew) built that. I remember the build from the time the frame was just chalk marks on the floor. Not that this recovery was any challenge for it I have seen it at it's best where nothing else could of got the job done but it just makes me smile everytime I see it in action knowing that it is definitely one of a kind and there will never be another just like it. Matt usually has a smile on his face every time he is behind the wheel and rightfully so. Don't get me wrong I love the Morrvair also, it's one mean machine too. I started watching when all he had to work with was the almost stock XJ and a Bubba brand tow rope and no winch, just yanked everything out. Things have changed over the years and Matt has become very successful and rightfully so from all his hard work, great family and awesome crew. I forgot to include generosity also. Thanks for the ride.

[@MachinecoMachines]

Damn, but this doesn't surprise me. In 1991, I drove the ex gf's little Hyundai, up what looked like a small bush road N.E of Sudbury, Ontario. It got rockier, smaller; a small stream had channeled out the road, a felled tree had to be pulled aside, etc. I had to put a rock under one front wheel to keep it from spinning while hung up. ALL with TWO wheel drive. No big deal. I emerged off some other grassy tracks miles away, stopped for gas and commented to the attendant. "That road's pretty bad." He told me- "That's NOT a road. That's a skidoo trail." !

[@tedfisk1211]

I understand the adventure and the beautiful scenery, but going out that deep into it where the road almost doesn't exist in a 2WD vehicle is probably not wise. But having a rescue outfit like MORR that will go out that far is priceless. The wrecker remains an amazing vehicle. Great video.

Fun fact, mica is a mineral used in makeup foundation, electrical insulation and as a filler in asphalt and cement.

After a hard days grafting it’s nice to come home flick KZbin on and watch Matt and his crew recover or fix whatever!! All the Best from the over the pond in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I built a 1928 International for Quaker Steak and Lube in Pittsburgh PA in about 2006 - and a 1914 Ford Flat-Bed for an Old Timer in Georgia who's Family for about 150 years worked for a guy who had a Cotton Farm and a Peach or Walnut Farm somewhere down there - but the Farmer guy had no family when he passed so he left the entire Farm to the Old-Timer (and his Family) who was in his 20's at the time the farmer passed and he always talked about that Truck so I restored it for him in 2003 for his 70'th Birthday. Great Guy and a Lot of Fun riding around in that old Truck. They sure don't make them like they Used To - (well, that little Bronco surprised me tho on the Sandy Hill Video actually) anyway, Love Yall's Attitudes and Family Style - Man I would give Anything for that atmosphere... I might move to Nevada - haven't really decided yet, but if I did I would come hang out and help on projects for Free just because I love the Vibes plus - Yall are Great!

One of my favorite videos. I know the channel has been through a lot, this is the best collection of guys you've ever had. Your sons really pull their weight.

Matt's biggest wrecker is so capable at getting these recovery's out and back to the customer. This 60 mi. recovery was really tricky getting this Toyota 2 wheel drive out of the predicament that he was in. Good video with awesome scenery.

[@Kozycz]

The 2 wheel drive wasn’t the problem though. It was an equipment failure. He’d had been perfectly fine had things not broken.

[@RobinHillier-w5u]

Even without the diff failure, his trip was just about over. Go back and look at the steep grade with loose rock they pulled him up initially. The wrecker was hunting for traction with all 4 wheels locked. That 2wd even had street tires. It didn't belong there.@@Kozycz

[@squidwardo7074]

@@RobinHillier-w5u It makes me wonder how this guy expected to reverse back down if he couldn't make it up. But he probably didn't think that far ahead

[@ianinvancouverbc]

Thanks for the update Kaulin - you are one lucky lad. I know a few that have had similar surgeries that have not been so fortunate. I have been an AK amputee since age 14 [1978] I'm 61 now.

Awesome trail and recovery! I have a 2wd FJ and it goes everywhere. Has the stock locking rear diff. Nothing has broken on it or needed replacing, all stock, made in 2006.5. I hope to keep it forever and maybe add a solid front axle. I'm looking for inspiration.

[@crabtrap]

He had a lot of waight on the back and that look like base model tacoma. And who knows how many mi on that assend

Matt is a good man and friend. Love watching him and his term. Really love when his wife and kids are working with him.❤

[@gcovete1642]

Excellent recovery. Thank you for your videos from Canada

[@the_lost_navigator7266]

We need a follow up episode where the diff is dismantled. Good job guys.

[@61rampy65]

Glad to see that Kaulin has recovered pretty much fully from his surgeries. He certainly adds to the enjoyment of watching. As always, GREAT VIDEO!!

[@peterscheer445]

Totally entertaining and professional all at the same time.... great scenery and commentary....... Subscribed for sure ! keep 'em coming !

[@evancourtney7746]

That's nice looking mica. With that grade you can use a sheet of it as heat proof glass or electrical insulating material in a refractory furnace.

[@christiandulaney1638]

I know its subjective, but this is one of the very best recoveries Ive seen on this channel. It was fantastic to watch!

[@MrDmadness]

Agreed, this was not something that any other place would have recovered.

[@praticalmechanical1986]

its kind of impressive how a 2wd can get this far.

[@knivesinedc]

2wd with a locker and a skilled driver can get you to a ton of cool places and back again safely. 2wd with momentum and a novice driver can get you in a lot of trouble 😂

[@triscuitpower7196]

Like an advanced version Matt's 2wd challenge. The game ends different without 4wd.

[@brettmorton7365]

I always play that game.. getting stuck in 2wd and having 4wd as back up is great.. getting stuck in 4wd and having 2wd as back up is not!

[@BigStevo_6]

2WD to get you in, 4WD to get you out. At least he was outdoors and enjoying life.

[@2old4thizschit73]

Props to your singing, Matt! You even matched the key that Roger Miller was singing in!!

[@nickshavermatson]

I've noticed him doing that before. I suspect he may have perfect pitch.

[@robertmitchell2142]

This is impressive to have 2 vehicles go back in there and rescue the Toyota. There was a mechanical breakdown In the truck it sounds like. Pretty amazing road. We use to have a k5 Blazer and took it across Black Rock Dessert and in the back are to High Rock Canyon, The part was pretty dicey.

[@kstricl]

The Wrecker is just so good. It don't matter what others build, Matt and crew can be proud of having built the right tool by their own hands.

[@JGuraan]

That thing needs a dip and a powder coat like the Bombi got. I hadn't watched in a few month and the deep pitting rust on all the welds on the Heavy Wrecker is very noticeable.

[@Cgbr86009]

Matt will always being able to claim having the first largest off road wrecker.

[@christianellegaard7120]

The Heavy Wrecker is magnificent, but it really deserves a proper name.

[@Hurtydwarf]

The wrecker didnt even flinch coming back up on the road after they turned around. Thing literally just chugs along without a care.

[@kumarpuri7752]

Solid crew! Glad Kaulin is recovering post surgery. Amazing work fellas, keep up the good work. Love watching you guys. Ps. The recovery videos are my favourite but do enjoy the builds and mods time to time.

[@jaredboballen68]

I believe that Kaulin is as much of a monster for people as that fluffing wrecker is a monster for a 4x4. He took that tumble in stride and got back into the fray, just like that beefcake wrecker motored up the hill without slipping a tire... The cinematography of these videos is absolutely amazing, the editing is top-notch 😉, and Matt is most definitely a born leader. I learned in the military that a leader is someone who would never ask his peeps to do anything that he is not willing to do himself. Bravo Zulu, Matt. (It's a Navy thing. You might not understand.) 😁 Nicely done ALL the way around. Can't fluffing WAIT to head south and meet these legends somewhere out on the slickrock.

[@chrisw4562]

Thanks for sharing. You guys are so much more refined than the Sparks people with their giant equipment. You carefully plan the recovery and take good care of the customer vehicle. It is fun to watch.

[@anthonysmalawipredators8794]

I love how everyone's doing mega-wrecker builds. So cool to see all the different visions and possibilities come to life. But this big old sexy International will always reign supreme in my eyes! Absolutely nailed that truck

2" square pieces of Mica sel for up to $3 a pound, big BIG stuff can be 10 times that per pound, Mica slivers and small bitts under 1/2" (which is most of your minded mica) can dip to under 50 cents a pound.

If I wasn't seeing this on an actual video, I would never have believed that anyone could have gotten a 2WD Tacoma to the point where the owner busted his differential and had to abandon the vehicle. Great job for the MORR team!

[@Shifty519]

surprisingly capable little trucks

[@laura-ann.0726]

@@Shifty519 - I've owned one, many years ago, before they were named "Tacoma". It was an '84 as I recall. Got totalled in an accident, but I agree, Toyota's pickup trucks are sturdy as they come. I wonder how the driver here managed to break the differential? I suppose we'll never know, unless the owner contacts Matt after the repair is finished and Matt passes the info along to us in an update. I've never owned a 4-Runner, but I see people with them travelling the backcountry in Death Valley, on some pretty rough roads, like Steel Pass and Lippincott, if you are familiar with them, and 4-Runners are tough as nails if you upgrade them with TA/KO-2's, skid plates, and maybe diff lockers (if that's possible?).

[@air0665]

You have to see a video that they rescue a santa fe or a Tucson very far and in a worst terrain that the Tacoma was. Is in his channel btw.

And Tom is the greatest sidekick, and the rest of the crew are the best! MORR rocks! (that is somewhat of a pun, too)

[@DanielFCutter]

You can take gold butte to the north rim of the Grand Canyon (Tuweep)-a good overnighter. Lonely and grand with epic geologic scenery. From the Mojave desert to cool forests-- with a 3000 foot North Rim view as a reward for your efforts. It’s cool of you to recover folks from “the Strip”-I don’t think an average towing company would venture out there.
