Off-Road Rookie Makes a BIG MISTAKE!

[@8Zk3]

Huge respect to the whole MORR crew. My son and I dropped by the shop to say hi and drop off some cookies last week. Everyone was very nice, especially Jake. The dogs are even cuter in person. And the wrecker is even bigger in person than it looks on screen. Thanks MORR crew for letting us drop in and take a little bit of your time. My son absolutely loved seeing the vehicles up close. I hope you enjoyed the cookies!

There is also a video where Matt talks about what he charges, its several years old now and he doesn't actually give prices just the pricing structure. They do recover abandoned vehicles for "free" to help clean up the area in coordination with law enforcement, but even then they can still pull a salvage title and get scrap value.

@MattsOffRoadRecovery you are great at what you do and at the end of the day you know best and I enjoy your videos. Saying that, respectfully please hear me out if you wish. I still personally feel that a solid bar of some kind that possibly reaches under the vehicle to lift it on the axils or, alternatively a suitable place can save a lot of trouble and make the recovery much smoother and more pleasant to do. You could use a limiting strap to stop the bar from clocking over, it can possibly be controlled by the rear winch to adjust it's limiting height, this will stop the towed vehicle from ramming the wrecker, and help especially when there is a breaking issue with the towed vehicle. Also having a solid bar that goes under the vehicle to lift it will solve the problem with the plastic bumpers, the lift ropes comming off the boom could be used to control the height of that, making it modular and adjustable, having mounting positions at different lengths, keep it simple and possibly have different options to attach. For instance, one that can attach to bumper if the vehicle has a nice solid off-road bumper. But at the same time have it as light as possible but still strong enough. If the heights can be adjustable during tricky obstacles will be not much different than what adjustment is done on the boom as it is now 😉. I'm sure it can be done with not too much hassle. It is hard to explain like this. You could build in a sliding mechanism that can be locked with a pin and the pin can be removed to allow the towed vehicle to be able to lift higher whilst going down big step-offs. Thank you for your videos.

You guys should take a pic of each recovery and put em online. That would be cool. W date, place, and how long it took to recover.

I love that you guys don’t just hook on to any aftermarket bumper and pull. That bumper would have just ripped off and caused a big mess.

Don't worry about the glass fragments, KateLynn. Modern cars are fitted with safety glass that does not shatter into bits with sharp edges.
