Nearly Impossible Recovery On The Dry Wash Trail

#Mattsoffroadrecovery #fabrats #offroad #recovery
We got a call for a Jeep Grand Cherokee that the upper ball joint mount had ripped out of the aluminum differential housing!
He was 4-wheeling on a pretty gnarly trail up on Hurricane Mesa.
We recruited Paul, from Fab Rats for his welder and welding skills.
• Helping a Jeep get out...
It was eight miles in this trail so after some 4-wheeling to get to it, some winching to get the axle back in place, and some welding to hold it there, we were able to tow it out.
The banana got a flat on the way out due to the valve stem getting ripped off.
Hope you enjoy!

Now the biggest one is “dont listen to anyone but me” and he was completely in the right for saying it because they had a stretch rope and customer was tryna tell jaime how to drive so matt hollered to jaime “dont listen ti anyone but me” and he only hollered cause he was like 50-60 feet away at the time. They are so chill its insane. My buddies would be losing their crap.

[@jarq19]

I really like watching these videos not only because I like cars but also because Matt is very calm, he doesn't swear, doesn't get emotional. He just goes on with his job without any hesitation, blaming or complaining. It's like ASMR to me. Keep up the good work, Matt! Cheers from Poland!

[@isallah1kafir196]

Watching him welding under the Jeep reminded me how my boss in 1972 set a station wagon on fire, by welding. My boss was a black-smith, but his main-income came from regular iron works like Widows Handrails and other items. I don't think in the early 1970 there was a aftermarket for towing-bars with the towing-ball. My boss was known around town that he could fit a custom towing-bar. Well one day one 1 year old Opel-Record Station-Wagon came in, and my Boss started to work on it fixing it with a towing-bar. We had a service ditch normally covered with wooden-planks strong enough if the front-tire was resting on it, the wood would still hold. In front of it there we had some stairs to get down, and at the proper place one would lift the planks out and do the work. My boss had cut all the pieces he needed, I was holding the tube which was going to be the towing-bar. Everything was prepared for the in-place welding done. I was kneeling outside beside the car, while he was welding. The bright light is too strong as welders know. So I was looking outside our garage (the doors open) suddenly my boss yelled fire, run the stairs up, what I do not remember is, if we had a fire extinguisher, I know I was watching it from the outside but somehow he got the fire stopped. What caught on fire was the flexible gas line coming from the Gas-tank running to frame of the car. This line was burned by some of the welding sparks during welding. The side of the car was black from the fire, and my boss had to buy the car from the owner, since the insurance did not cover such accidents.

You folks are amazing. Great job...Again, Matt and crew. So fun to watch you do your thing.

[@davidr.4699]

There's Jeep, and then there's the Banana lol. Outstanding footage! That wife of yours is a keeper.

[@JRGTEXUS]

I'm sure this guy realizes how lucky he is that you guys came out for rescue. Don't know of any recovery outfits that would have attempted what y'all went through.

[@JimLBon]

I'm real new to watching this 4x4 stuff but I'm real impressed by these driving skills.

[@alexbrown1995]

That was an incredibly impressive recovery. I am in awe of you guys. I thought Aussies were tough but you guys are on another planet!!!

[@oldguysrule5895]

Every time you think you’ve seen Matt’s most outrageous video, well there you go

[@davidbates7429]

When I saw the tire go back slightly with him under with the welder I almost said something that I hardly ever say. But a great video and recovery. And B4 I forget, hello from the Philippines.

[@bossmark5830]

Yeah we love watching your videos here in the Philippines matt, say hello to Ed for me! Thanks! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@BikingVikingHH]

Was it “oh puk!”? lol

[@elizabethdunn9434]

that was an incredible rescue! Great job to you and Fab Rats!

[@nworbydnar]

There is nothing better than helping people in distress.

[@murphtahoe1]

Just watched this again (Saw the first version on Fab Rats) and I have to say that was one hell of a recovery by Matt and Paul!!! That road was really steep and that Grand Cherokee owner should be adding one heck of a tip on top of the payment! Ed is the man... looks about 80, smokes, and is climbing up that hill moving rocks! Amazing. Second, Matt’s wife Jaime is a doll! Not many wives would come out like that to help you. This video was awesome. Great friends and family can do anything. Thanks for the video Matt!

[@scarhart53]

I can't imagine he'll be able to afford a tip on top of what must be a monster bill!

[@TheAmericanDalaiLama]

@@scarhart53 how much would a recovery like this cost? ballpark, a few grand?

[@veysher3756]

@@TheAmericanDalaiLama surely at least 3000

[@ddd228]

@@veysher3756 The spare tire is bigger than Jaime!

[@robertmcmanus636]

This has to be the most insane recovery I've seen yet by Matt.

[@danielmiranda534]

i can speak for most of us and say we all love ed

[@BoowanaNM]

Aww...the old days. It was great to see the care taken to make sure Ed was comfortable. Thanks guys!

[@danna140]

WOW...had me worried there for a minute. Jamie saves the day again !🇺🇸👍💪🍻 Matt you owe her , Big Time 😁😅

[@kps84094]

What other towing company would drive a vehicle around this broken Jeep in order to get in front of it? Scratch that. What other group of people would go to this much work to provide a temporary repair and tow a vehicle safely off this trail? None! Everyone involved did an awesome job, including Jaymie!

[@2oceans1]

Kevin Smith I watch this team. Wow, amazing. Not all heroes wear capes.

[@kenwelch198]

Talk about true off road recovery! I bet seeing the banana jeep come over the hill looks like a gift from heaven! Lol

[@petepeterson7230]

I am beyond impressed now. After this rescue, the sink hole rescue, and the Silverado on the edge. Outstanding team of friends and family. I will admit that hi-lift jack and the sink hole hook up had me anxious.

[@MrBobswire]

When folks ask me why I like mountain bike riding over road riding, I show them this vid. What's not of like, sure you're more liable to get a flat or deal with other mechanical problems but that's part of the adventure. This is only the 3rd video I've seen on your channel, you already got me addicted. You need to include a warning label, Highly Addictive! 😲

[@FlatFifties]

On the edge of my seat for a time, then enjoy reading the comments. Everything I could say has already been said. Another great video with all my favorite cast of characters. Wish the cameraman had an inclinometer.

[@lessharratt8719]

I'm inclined to agree.

[@ratdog9]

Gotta love how the jeep breaks on the trail, so Matt goes off the trail over super jagged rocks and makes it around. That's how you know how beastly his recovery jeep is compared to stock or even some upgraded jeeps.

[@LH2N]

Apparently with very little tread on the tires to make it even more difficult

[@bryandodson4101]

Oh yeah, that thing is a beast. I love powerful trucks and Jeep’s. There’s something about being able to go from not being able to climb a hill, to being able to absolutely scale it.

[@mikeg0802]

I discovered this channel yesterday and have been watching ever since 😂😂😂. These recoveries are insane!

[@epsteined3899]

"You can guide by the stars can't ya matt?" LOL Ed

[@evanlinde89]

Let's start a petition to get Ed's face added to the face of Mount Rushmore!

[@edsantos5822]

They might also tear that down. 😂

[@thunderstruck1078]

You should've thought of that before they started to take down the whole mountain. Some "native soil" BS.

[@dicktrickle4197]

Aye Aye ! Ed said goat food lol

[@coldblue9mm]

Thunderstruck No one’s taking down that mountain. And YES, that was Native American soil. There’s no BS about that because that is the truth.

[@evanlinde89]

Come on guys. Let's not take the comments section on a wholesome video from Matt and make it political.

[@longrider8265]

That was epic - not so much a recovery as an adventure. This one had everything, awesome scenery, fantastic team work, top notch off road action and of course Ed.

[@northwesttoyotas509]

Hands down one of the gnarliest recoveries to date! I’ve watched this one at least three times!

[@JamesKirk91]

Your channel is the best advertisements for barricade winches

[@stuartsmith5276]

Just recently found your channel. Love the content, like your easy going demeanor, really like how you treat the customer. It would be so easy to make some sarcastic comments, but you have everyone on KZbin covering that for you, there are some funny comments. Major respect for how you treat Ed. Love him. God I was laughing while watching him hike up that hill with a chair and umbrella, he’s got class. This needs to go on your merchandise if it isn’t already “So, we got a call” Best comment 7:08 “I know that, just let me get my nerves back” 7:42 “I came to quick”. Ok, no comment. 17:06 I wonder if that boulder is still rolling! Thanks for sharing your work, family and friends with us. Appreciate it and the opportunity to see the landscape if the are you live. We plan on visiting the National Parks in the South west soon, hopefully I don’t get to meet you 😀

[@housepianist]

No matter how off-road capable your vehicle is, the terrain will eventually win.

[@sammyg.4255]

But makes me think, this guy never carries a spare wheel then still doesn't after this accident lol

[@martinevans6289]

I've watched lots (and lots and lots!!) of MORR videos and this recovery is right up there with the best! Insane location, great determination and skill, ingenuity, fantastic teamwork; this recovery had the lot!! Brilliant job, well done guys!

[@josiatokirina1788]

You probably heard this a hundred times, but here goes again. "How about carrying a spare tire!" Great videos, Thank You for Sharing!

[@2dthoughts]

Only two more calls after that and he can call it a night

[@colmgriffin9467]

I hope that guy comes back for his vehicle. I have a feeling when he see the bill, he is going to be in for a shock!!!

[@jerilyncibulka6162]

After watching a few of these every morning…I feel I have had my exercise for the week!

[@casperhxr6018]

Wow, you guys are the ultimate rescue team. AMAZING!
