I had a ton of fun on Papa Smurf this year in the same rig, and everyone other than our little group was on 37-40" tires, looking at our little rigs like we shouldn't be there.

Honest question: I get that off-road recovery isn't anywhere near straight-forward but I assume that you have clients sign a contract that says "In the process of recovering your vehicle we are going to bang up your vehicle even more than it already is. Its the nature of the beast with the difficult terrain of these trails." or something along those lines. I get that these vehicles are expected to take cosmetic damage going off-roading but every additional bang and scratch had me wincing especially considering that Jeep was clearly not a purpose built off-road vehicle despite what Jeep advertises. At the end of the day, if you don't want to accept that its going to get banged up during the recovery you're free to wait around for a recovery vehicle that can get it out of there without further damage. You'll either be waiting for a hell of a long time or paying a arm and a leg for the luxury though.

Between the resin and the aluminium tape (the good stuff) you can fix just about everything that can be fixed on a trail.

One of the first things I did when I go my KK after lifting it 3 inches was to put on complete body armor underneath. Even sliders, and I don't do rock climbing. It's not made for major off roading but I've "bumped" the bottom a few times on curbs at the mall, never destroyed my oil pan either. 😁

[@thatlindgirlinutah5829]

My favorite will always be when they dragged that beat up and stripped gold Geo from the banks of the Virgin River with Lizzie in it. I hadn't laughed so hard in a long time. It still gets me laughing just thinking about poor Lizzie getting thrown around like a rag doll on a raging bull with all that sand and dust flying all over her. Talk about a wild ride!😂

It is an off road vehicle, it's just not a no road vehicle. There's a difference!

[@ralphbaker2850]

Off road means off a prepared surface. Off the off the concrete or tired surfaces. Or in the case of country roads off the graded gravel or dirt roads.

[@dustymojave]

Offroad means "off prepared, like graded and/or graveled. If it has ever been graded, it's on-road. Off-pavement does not = offroad. Car advertising people need to learn about that.

Here in Kansas we have what is called low maintenance roads with signs stating travel at your own risk ! I have taken a few of them but I also had experience of driving on oil field roads and farm equipment most of my 69 years ! I also know what my limitations and vehicle limitations are before trying stuff !

[@EXROBOWIDOW]

@@kennethbrown8723 It's a problem, though, when you have just a regular passenger car, and you know there's a dirt road, and you know the line about "inquire about road conditions before attempting." So you ask the park ranger, "How are the road conditions? What kind of road is it, really?" but he answers, "What kind of car are you driving? We just had a pickup flip over, because people go speeding..." Hey mister "ranger," don't go judging my driving, my experience, and my sensibility, by what I'm driving. Or by what foolish things other drivers do. I asked you about the ROAD. It was mentioned that it was a County road, so one might assume it was maintained. But we were looking to take it as the way home, rather than backtracking on the asphalt road that ended at the visitor center. The dirt road is too long of a road to take part way down, only to discover there's been a washout or something, and have to backtrack even further. I want to go sightseeing, not have a misadventure. It's true car companies are just trying to sell product, and will tell you anything, with a footnote in the fine print at the bottom. But rangers and local officials should be helping people make smart decisions. Even paved roads become undriveable sometimes. We have a Subaru Forester now, and it's laughable how they tout its rugged capabilities, especially the pricey "Wilderness" edition. I know to laugh, after watching Matt's videos. It ain't no rock crawler or river swimmer. No, it isn't the same as 4WD. I have yet to take a Forester anywhere I wouldn't take my old sedan.

[@scottywilkinson6917]

Speaking as a SxS owner, I agree totally with staying on the trail. As seen in this video with the Morvair running 40’s and having to take at least a second attempt at this obstacle, jeeps and (other 4x4’s) make and take unofficial bypasses as well. The SxS proved Matt wrong when he said SxS couldn’t do it. It all depends on the vehicle and drivers ability. I respect any and every off-roader regardless of what they drive.

[@voodoochild8697]

Love your channel family and how you all work together. What I don’t get is Jeep owners. I think they watch to many Jeep commercials on TV and get lied to at the dealership. They have to be modified bar none. They go on their dream trip then get stuck or destroy their new Jeep. I from Michigan and pulled out several Jeeps. I just didn’t have any T-Shirts to give them. I have a 1998 Chevy Silverado that’s been redone 👍 Be safe out there ❤️

I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee back in the early 2000s and it was an extremely capable 4WD vehicle. I haven’t owned a Jeep since then, but my wife has been “suggesting” we look into getting a Wrangler for some mild adventuring. I’ve eyed the Rubicon model for some time and was under the impression that it would be a good “out-of-the-box” solution for a couple of “mature” off roaders. When I saw the shot of the underside of this rescue with its exposed oil pan, I was shocked. Literally. For Stellantis to call that vehicle “Trail Rated”, they ought to be sued for false advertising. I guess there is no substitute for proper aftermarket accessories. Be warned Jeepers.

I'm not blaming Matt but when you have KZbin channels that are as popular as this one, it's going to lead to more people wanting to go wheeling. And Matt has about a dozen or more spin-off channels now. It's just like when you live in a nice quiet neighborhood and then everyone decides they also want to live in that same nice quiet neighborhood. All of a sudden that neighborhood becomes less nice and quiet. More people always equals more problems.

Absolutely agree about social media. All the wonderful hidden places that very few hot to see are now getting mobbed by people who have no respect for nature, damage these places, and overuse them.

[@albundy6284]

Side-by-sides (Razors, etc) are getting the desert shut down all over the southwest; they have completely taken over most trails and are nuisance, ruining the trails by rutting them out, whooping them out, and cutting new trails everywhere. Not to mention most side-by-side drivers booze it up the entire time they are driving. Moab and the west Mojave are perfect examples. Last time I was in Moab I was passed on my right hand side on Kane Creek side-by-side doing 50+mph, and the driver and all passengers were drinking alcohol. This is not an uncommon occurrence! The cities with lots of side-by-side rentals like Moab, Ouray, et cetera are the worst because the drivers all are newbs and they believe that renting a side-by-side is like renting a boat for the day at the lake, where you need are your flip flops and a cooler full of beer. These rental companies and manufacturers are making a killing but they are destroying public land access for everyone else.
