[@AddictedToJeepsCom]

Love Matt's "victory pie" or orange in this case. Reminds me of my Dad's tradition during WWII: He was a B-17 radio operator/gunner and his tradition on his 25 missions over Europe was to bring a chocolate bar (Snickers?) and put it between the vacuum tubes of the plane's radio so it wouldn't freeze solid during the mission. He only ate it once they were returning to England and safe from enemy fighters and flak. He said those were the best tasting 25 Snickers he ever ate! Keep up the excellent work!

[@jackmattox9315]

Upgrade the Bombi then engineer some lightweight skids that could be assembled/adjusted on site to match track width & wheelbase then float the towed vehicle out without sinking in and dragging axles, etc. Great episode!

[@jean-francoisbaril9534]

Hi Matt I am from Québec Canada where there is quite a bit of snow, and if I can give you one advice is that you should always break trail first before trying to tow an other vehicule. It would have made it much easier on the Bombi. And when it really deep you pack the trail, let it freeze over night and resume recovery the next day. Good job, I really enjoy watching you video.

On these deep snow recoveries it would really help you guys out a ton to air down the stuck vehicle's tires a bit to help with traction and float. On that Tacoma you could have easily gone down to 15-20psi without risking popping a tire off the bead and it would have made a huge difference. I regularly drive my tundra in snow that deep and air down to 8-10PSI without issue and the amount of float and traction gained is remarkable. Love what you guys do! Keep up the amazing work!

I was thinking the same thing. I've had my frontier with the same size tires down to 8 psi before and it works wonders. Just don't rev the crap out of the engine like lizzy was doing there. That's how you debead a tire.

[@kliegl8613]

Some radiator theory: Puking coolant is not boiling over; that's just venting. Boiling over is when the engine is so hot it is evaporating the coolant and showing steam coming out the fill port. This is "not cute" (as opposed to just flashing off the liquid on the engine from the snow, ie, cute). Water boils at 212 degrees at atmospheric. Matt's group is in the mountains, so boiling might be a bit less at mountain atmospheric. If you put your coolant at 50/50 antifreeze, which gives up to -20 F protection on freezing, you now get a boiling point of 223 F, which is better. If you put a cap on the coolant system rated to vent at 15 psi, you are now operating at atmosphere + 15 psi, and boiling point is now 268 degrees. Small block Chevies, which were in everything prior to everything getting LS swapped, are rated to 250 degree operation. The reason the Bombi is struggling on cooling, like said, is because the radiator can't handle the peak load. However, if you put a radiator that CAN handle the peak load, the thing will never warm up and run well and give heat in the cabin, unless a proper thermostat is put in. A performance, hi flow, stat like a Superstat, set to something decent like 180, and a massive radiator, will keep the thing nice and warm during normal operations, but dump open the whole awesome cooling capacity of the new boss radiator when needed. It's always good to have extra radiator capacity. Since Matt's group is rebuilding the Bombi, I won't send him an infrared thermometer to get accurate, on the fly, temps because it sounds like he's getting rid of the problem entirely.

Greetings from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I purchased my "Wrecker" tickets today and told my wife I'm bringing binculars and folding chair. I chuckled when I heard Lizzy make the same recommendation. See you guys next week.

[@deadbrother5355]

It would have been helpful to have had Lizzy press and hold the VSC button to turn off traction control, activate the rear locker (trd offroad and pro models equipped), and press the A-TRAC button. A-TRAC works like ABS except the other way around. Instead of modulating brakes to keep braking traction it actually modulates brakes to keep accelerating traction. Im not positive if it works with the locker engaged, but I do know it got me up a steep and muddy hill in Wasatch Mountain State Park in a down pour where I had no way out but up. It sounds annoying, but works well. Before I activated it I was peeling out and sliding backwards. With it engaged I crawled up and out. At heart I am a 4wd purist (❤ mechanical). But sometimes these new fangled traction robots are actually pretty useful.

@@Sc-jf3yk I believe if you turn it off while in low range it "remembers" that its off, so you'd have to turn it back on even after turning the car off/on.

[@mathon5901]

Lizzy - pro tip - when your driving a manual in icy/slippery conditions, start in 2nd gear. It will bog down the engine and the result will be better traction to get moving.

We have to when we are out grooming trails in are bombo , it dose help a great deal , and when we are out on the mountain grooming the trails for are ski resort with the PistenBully here in upstate eastern n.y .

[@rickferrier3496]

The job was done with lots of fun and a heck of a lot of learning and I'm looking forward to the new and improved Bombi Bigger Badder and Badder. Please bring more shovels and maybe a brush for moving and cleaning off the snow!

[@mrpasciak92]

You guys are awesome! The fact that you service so much of the surrounding area is amazing! Keep up the great work MORR team!

[@CarswithNash]

I bet that Tacoma owner was very nervous, probably thought he’d never get it out of there! Amazing work!👍

[@jarodstolz6282]

More nervous about a shovel raking across his hood.

[@CarswithNash]

@@jarodstolz6282 Yeah that was a little iffy but watching it back it doesn’t look like the paint was actually contacted.

[@Lucas-uf5ys]

Reminds me of that one epesode of the Sopranos... wtf is he doing out there alone D:

[@mattgraham1983]

🤷‍♂️what's worse a few scratches or frozen until everything warms up🤨? I know what I'd prefer

[@cliffordmontana4562]

Matt brushed off his truck with a steel shovel. He got a free tow but now he needs a paint job on his hood and at least new trim around the windshield. It’s amazing how unprepared this guy is.

[@321drum]

Another great recovery Lizzy thanks for all you do

[@fredquevillon3727]

Hi everyone I’m watching from Quebec Canada. A tip for Lizzy to battle the cold is not putting your warm clothes too long in advance if you have a long car ride to do. Because if you are too warm and start to sweat before you go outside then you will feel the cold even more.

[@goodisnipr]

I agree, from 45.xx°N 75.xx°W. Cold weather dressing is all about staying dry more than anything else. Secondary is not having any skin exposed to direct air. Fruit Of The Loom < Under Armor < Helly Hansen is the good, better, best list for your base layer. Fruit of the loom typically can't be worn just by itself, whereas most underarmor can, and about all helly hansen can.

[@tjtobin86]

I wonder at what point Matt was like "crap, we totally forgot the pintle hitch. but we just talked about everything we remembered to bring..." :D Great recovery though!

[@Tamales53]

Great recovery, concerning shovel work at a couple points lol

[@kristoffscuba5466]

An cheap infrared thermometer is a handy tool to keep in the glove box when working things hard. Especially old things they have dodgy gauges or sticky thermostats. Point it at various parts and see instantly if you have a problem. I keep one in the small tool rolls that live in my boat and on my tractor.

[@RVGuy1959]

It was great seeing the crew in my neck of the woods. Mt. Charleston and Macks Canyon have been my playground for many years. I'm amazed at how far you all drive to a call.

[@bluerxstandard]

What I would do to have buddies like you do, Matt. You are blessed.

[@randytingen]

Great to see happy Lizzie again.

[@michaelkrenz5642]

The proposed LS small block is way too much horsepower for that little snow cat. You’ll be breaking and then upgrading every other component if you do that. Keep with something similar in horsepower and torque and get more cooling efficiency.😊

[@ronjohnson9032]

I am not an LS fan by far, but the new 4 cylinder LS might work for the Bombardier.

[@darrinstone49]

Looks like you have room for a square body radiator & Crown Vic Fan. Maybe Paul has one to donate for the cause. Its amazing the Bombie can handle what it does. I love TT's Idea of an LS, adding a desent sized aux cooler in addition to the one in the radiator should give you years of reliable service! It warms the fluid when it's cold but also equalizes temps better between trany & engine yielding a ton of usable capacity without any spikes. Fluids tend to last longer. Most people myself included don't change their coolant every 2-3 years & I know better! Even my transmission fluids get pushed out on my non towing rigs... I need to install drains in everything so there is no excuse lol... but I'm like you... I get busy with life & forget. Love the hand valves on my tow rigs... allows me to quickly install the clear tube & drain my oil into empty jugs... & not spill a drop.

[@mr.intensity2685]

Matt should hit Paul up for the Ron Davis radiator that he pulled out of the FJ. It may be great for the Bombi. Matt should have Paul and Ben overhaul that Ford Eco-Boost engine and add new sending units and gauges, so Matt has total control of the operation of the vehicle.

[@theuglytruth8162]

Great job on using that shovel on a customer's hood real genius move.

[@scott02464]

Lizzy hitting the rev limiter in first gear 💪😂😂

[@Lured-in]

WOW! That’s all I could say while watching Matt shovel snow off of the hood of someone’s brand new truck! I hope Matt takes care of the expense to make their paint right again.

[@jasonmeador3144]

I think he was moving snow there is ice under it.

[@davebanks7435]

Freezing cold in the snow: Matt just wearing a shirt - then to prove he is invincible he boils his hand with radiator blow off ...."wasnt hot": - no nerve endings perhaps - love this clip :)
