WARNING: Don't Use This Trail! We Could've Died.

So I got a call to rescue a Lexus on a trail probably no one should drive on. It's too steep for a rescue.

A week after this recovery I pulled the same vehicle out of a creek in Moab. Insurance totaled it.

I disagree, it’s the same as off piste skiing. You don’t follow a trail just because it’s there. If you do and you find yourself out of your depth, you put others at risk trying to rescue you - it happens all the time due to foolhardiness, you must know what you risk getting yourself and, perhaps more importantly, others into.

Oh, about 35 degrees ;)

[@CopeML]

Cameras don't show angles very well they tend to make everything look flat, so in this case if it looks like it is on an angle it's prolly pretty steep. Vehicles typically cannot with stand more than a 40 degree angle sideways before they roll, I'm sure some of those pot holes Matt dug are a 39.

It's how we roll in the Victorian High Country in Australia. Every where are those trails. Aired right down!

Here in the Ozarks we deal with 103 and 100% humidity when wheeling. Lots of clay not as much sand. We carry snatch blocks and shovels so we can bury a spare tire as a winch point. Love your channel. All us old Toyota guys end up pulling out the big 3.

@@elmateo487 You’re pussy whipped my dude. You’ll leave in a Jeep and come home in a GX or Toyota when the FCA junk breaks. If you think a Jeep is better at “everything” than a 120 series Cruiser with a superior build quality and 4x4 system you’re a bigger fool than I thought. If I want a pure rock crawling platform Jeep. If I want an overlander or long travel desert rig, or daily driver GX all fucking day. The build quality and reliability is light years ahead. I sold Jeep. It’s not rare for them to blow up or have severe issues within 20k-40k miles. For a GX to not last 400k miles would be rare.

[@robedmund9948]

Once again Matt proves a capable rig NEEDS a capable driver. And fear is NOT a bad thing! Keeps one from getting into too much trouble most days!

[@69mag]

Yeah, seems to be a solidly built Lexus. Love the Geolanders, badass tires even if one did lose its' air

[@JamesBrown-lf4dl]

Not to many people willing to help these days the way you do. Y'all a good group of family and friends.

[@travelwithsarun875]

That trail looks scary even on video There's no BS up that high, you have all earned your stripes and our admiration!

[@crashedking1931]

That Lexus was running par with the old moevare. Sweet team today you and that team were unstoppable. The magnificent 7.

[@davidcox2197]

I think the lexus tires were better suited to the terrain. That road needs a dead end stop at the base.

that lexus was freekin nice

[@ElCid48]

I won't tell you what you can do with that Lexus because it won't be published.

[@mattt8889]

@@search4truth104 Looked like the GX, they should have used the LX...

[@wdrdiyman1674]

Totally insane location...totally awesome views. Is there a warning sign at the base of that road...enter at own risk...50% grade !!??? Glad to see that no one was hurt up there. Great drone videography work by whomever.

[@user-hi8kq3tb1u]

35 degree is completely insane，not to mention rescue other car, stunning skill!!!

[@user-vx9qi7ni8g]

Good job Matt. And I think you're editing the skills are better than the new people you got working for you

[@whistlinlipo]

Wow that looked so dangerous! Great work guys, glad you’re safe

[@richardhill4862]

I'm glad you rock crawlers have the skills and equipment to deal with it, so many places in this trip that could have gone wrong. Edge of your seat episode.

[@h4rry4x44]

Got some pucker factor in this video too:)

[@timspreadborough9807]

While I'm not surprised, your crew works together so very well and that is a compliment to you Matthew!!!

[@robertquackenbush5547]

It's always nice to have Paul around

[@quintili1]

That trail just looks gnarly. I love that Lexus build, that's sweet.

[@phatgringo2.0]

Y'all are crazy skilled and we love you for it. There's no BS up that high, you have all earned your stripes and our admiration!

[@Inariusclaimedthethrone]

Wonder if they could adopt some type of land anchor for the winch to hook onto in those situations

[@MIKEH.777]

OMG that was so steep , that guy didn't get stuck he got scared lol. You can tell because he even tied his SUV off like a horse lol. That was a nice Lexus but when it was going back down the Mt. it looked like the back end was to high in the air . Keep up the great work guys and God Bless you guys and your families. 💯💪👍👍🙏🙏✌😊✌

[@amirbiscevic8944]

Talk about doing what you love and making a living out of it God bless you guys each and everyone of you keep up the great work and be safe out there

[@rantonio]

That was a pretty technical recovery. Glad you guys made it out without a scratch. I did like the watermelon tree fresheners in Paul's (?) truck. It just added some class to the recovery.

[@user-hd8ej8yx9p]

If Matt's scared, then it's freaking sketchy

[@Naut1188]

If it looks bad on video, it's terrifying in person.

[@anttiroppola4414]

Hills always look less on video. That hill looks pucker up scary on video, in real life it would be so much worse.

[@auggie803]

@@anttiroppola4414 -Yes,,,i agree. It would be so much worser.

[@nerdgarage]

What do you mean "there's nothing to catch ya" ??? There's plenty of mostly flat surface to stop you. Sure it's 2000 ft down but ... =)

[@noobsoff-road]

Now that was bloody impressive. Great recovery... plus that Morvair is an absolute weapon in Matt's hands.....

[@andreacoerezza9766]

Awesome video and, by the way, beautiful Lexus, going so steep!
