At the BMW Performance Driving School I learned a vehicle literally follows your eyes, so this incident makes perfect sense. Free lesson: When attempting to avoid a collision ALWAYS look in the direction you want your vehicle go and steer accordingly. NEVER look at the object you’re attempting to avoid while trying to steer around it because YOU WILL hit it every time. We did exercises that prove it.

[@daemn42]

Matt, since you pull your share of Toyotas out it might be useful to know how their A-TRAC system works as it would have helped here. It's an ABS based traction control system that applies brakes to the tires that are spinning to transfer power through the open diffs to the tires with grip. The problem is, A-TRAC needs a little time to detect which tires are spinning and which aren't so it knows where to direct the power, and that means you have to stay on the gas for a few more seconds for it to do its thing. If you see the tires spinning and then quickly get off the gas or hit the brakes (as I saw in this vid) it'll never activate, and thus do nothing at all. The best thing to do is just keep medium throttle and wait for it do its thing. When it's working correctly it will pull the vehicle up a steep hill in 4 low even with two tires off the ground.

[@gregparrott]

@@skeetermcswagger0U812 Under high load, winches can draw several hundred Amps. Do you know who makes or offers a quick connect that can handle that much current

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

@@gregparrott Any of the companies that supply jumper cable for tow trucks and roadside recovery equipment usually have the cable and quick connect plugs that are rated high enough for this type of amperage. I've never owned more than one 4 wheel drive at a time so I've always transferred the cables I have from the last vehicle to the next and I can't remember the company that I bought the quick connects from for jumper cables but they do sell them at Tractor Supply and NAPA auto parts.(stores in your area might differ) A lot of people call it welding cable. The quick connects are large rectangular thermal plastic polarized plugs in light blue or grey in color that can't be plugged in reverse polarity once assembled and are very rugged and safe. I've never had a failure yet.

[@stevencox75]

maybe just add an Anderson plug to the winch and a Anderson plug connector to the battery mate

[@grimsoul0]

And if he ran wires to the back for connectors he could use it from the rear hitch also. Even put plugs on the trailer winch to plug into the jeep to power it when he needed to instead of needing the portable power supply for it and remembering to recharge it.

I would second this idea, was thinking about those connections, would be ideal for what Matt likes to put the winch on only when he needs it.

[@AZ_HikerBiker]

@@grimsoul0 Agreed! Both on the Jeep front & rear as well as for use with the trailer winch... no more losing his portable power supply by leaving it on the trailer by mistake. (in a video a year or so ago?) Shortly after I bought a '99 Cherokee 8+ years ago, due to my admitted anti-social penchant for 4-wheeling alone I realized there were likely more times I'd need a rear winch than a front one, I added a front bumper with integral receiver and set up my winch to slide into either the front or receiver. Then to top it off, I installed 12V quick-connectors (front & rear... ran cables to rear bumper) so I could have the winch on and connected front or rear within minutes.

[@GrnXnham]

I thought the same so I just looked it up. The Ford Ranger is the most American made pickup. But the Toyota Tundra is the most American made full size pickup. The Toyota Tacoma is just average.

[@lomgshorts3]

Yeah, but I drive a wholly American made '90 Ford Ranger. It has about 300k miles on it. I bought it when it had 35k miles from an estate sale, and the old girl is still running strong with the 2.5L engine and Ford tranny 5 speed copied from Mazda. Great Truck seeing it has so many miles on it, and no rust.

[@austinbuell2236]

My point is mainly that sacrificing the longevity and undisputed superior reliability of many “non-American” brands for the sake of buying “American” is complete nonsense. Historically, the Toyota’s and Honda’s for example have been far more ‘American’ than Ford, Chrysler, GM. Maybe not currently, with Toyota having just opened a Mexico plant; but that’s not my point. Sure, I know there are a few cars here and there that the American companies produce that are good; but when you buy a Toyota everyone knows that there’s a much better chance that you’re not going to have to dump another 35 thousand in 5 years when the truck is in the shop once a week. Nothing against people who do buy big three, I just personally won’t open up my wallet for the sake of remaining loyal to companies that build crappy cars.

[@dash9680]

[@chloesamclutch]

I've driven one the last three years, from 100+ degrees to - 60 wind chill. Hydraulic clutch is a bit spongy that cold but once vehicle is warmed up it's fine. For the average driver aware of surroundings, you probably won't get stuck. For that type of off roading definitely need a winch and recovery gear. I have nothing but basic recovery gear, completely stock base model, 6 speed manual 4.0 4x4 with "all terrain" tires that are about as aggressive as warm butter. I've been lucky but never stuck.

[@jcl1201]

All you need is Anderson plug connectors for your winch you can also run wire and connectors on the rear so you have chose where you want your winch 👍

[@nathanwoten6236]

That's how mines set up on my old 99 Cummins so I can kep the winch under my tool box an mount it front or rear if I need but also the same plug let's me use jumper cables front or rear, or run the winch on either of my trailers, an my buddy has a couple big work light that hook in to the same plug an a pretty decent sized air compressor that fill 2 40" tires at a time from around 10psi to about 35psi in around 5 mins or so (about as quick as my arb single does 1 tire an starts on my second)

After riding a car at speed with flat tires, a missing wheel, shattered windows, and doors that wouldn't shut, Lizzie probably considers this no big deal!

[@stevenelson8560]

LOL, that was a fun tow to watch, though it was a shame that car was destroyed like that.

[@johngillette463]

I bet she keeps a set of goggles in her go bag now. Probably a dust mask or two. Kind of wondered why they didn't tie the doors closed that time.

[@mdbizzl]

I know why he prefers the inefficient removable winch. He charges by the hour...😉

[@garypowell4565]

Yep, you know you are gonna be using it 75% of the time, might as well mount it permanent.

[@gregparrott]

@@garypowell4565 Matt has specifically answered this question. He said that up until recently, virtually NONE of his recoveries entailed using a winch. He also mentioned that the added weight substantially impaired his ability to travel travel the dunes at places like Sand Hollow (his most frequent calls are from there)

[@brandonlo5162]

A lot of his calls are for sand hollow and he's stated before with sand you need to be as light as possible to get through it

[@dirtfarmer7472]

It’s better to have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it

[@scottminer7702]

I found that a good addition to my winch was "roll control" or "line lock" used in racing. Push the brake pedal, flip the switch and it locks the pressure in the front brakes. That takes some of the pressure off the transmission and lets me use the remote to get a better view. Well done getting the Toyota out.

[@alanscott6241]

Man you guys do such a professional job of making these videos especially since some of the recoveries are so taxing. Keep up the good work and God bless you and your family 👍😎❤️💪🏜️⚓

That Toyota has a locking rear diff and A-trac system that uses the brakes to mimic a front locker. Might’ve helped to get it out easier 👍🏻

Bs it only has an LSD

Happy New Years from a fellow tow truck driver in Beautiful Colorado!

[@rcytb]

A few years ago, I got a call from a friend whose snowplow driver had slipped off the road and was stuck in just about this same situation. He knew I had some cables and blocks (pulleys), and that I'm a sucker for helping people. I put him in his truck up on a hill, as a deadhead for one end of the cable, and attached a block to the uphill end of the plow truck's frame. My Tahoe was up the road a bit, attached to the other end of the cable. When I was about to attempt the pull, the plow guy asked me if it would be better to attach to the low side of his truck's frame. "Sure - do you really want to tip over?", I asked. So we left it on the high side. Thanks to the 2:1 advantage of the block, we were able to get him up out of there despite the slippery road - and I'm a hero in their eyes to this day. Anyway, that's why I enjoy watching your videos so much: the everyday application of common sense and physics by good folks.

The winch I have came with two HD cables, a long one for the back hitch and a short one for the front that you hard wire to the battery and have a quick release connector (female) on each and then another (male) on the winch. Makes life a lot easier. Thanks for the ride-a-long. Always enjoy your video's.
