For the second one, Matt and Collin working on the truck brings back soooo many good memories of being out on a trail, braking something, (usually my fault), and my dad, doing his damndest to not show he was upset, but sitting down getting to work, having me do the majority of it since I broke it, and also besides being an unending teacher never seeming to be without an answer both questioning me on , “what went wrong? What broke, how would you fix it? Don’t guess, take a breath and think it out” while also uh… kind of… gently… razzing me. Looking back, I can’t tell you how much those moments meant to me, and I kick myself for not realizing just how important those moments were… Much much much respect for you Matt… aside from being an amazing recovery expert, and yes one on parr with magyver, your obviously an amazing dad.

[@larryboyd1872]

That ball joint issue with Toyota... really was only a problem for the ones made by GM/NUMMI between 1995 and 2004. It was a design flaw where the lower control arm *hung from* the spindle such that the weight of the truck would try to pull the ball out of the cup. When the ball joint wore, it WOULD pop out, and you'd have wheels flying off. For 2005 and newer, they inverted the design so that now the weight of the truck pushes the ball *into* the cup. It is almost unheard of for 2005+ to have a wheel fall off, and requires the ball joint to be completely worn out, AND for the wheel to be in the air so that gravity can pull it down.

Kind of the #1 rule of exploring out west, stay out of old mine shafts. Just think about what Matt called the turkey claw, all those shafts looked the same. Would've been awfully easy to get disoriented and not know the way out. There's a whole bunch of other ways to get trapped, lost, or hurt down there and no way to call for help. They often concrete up the entrances to keep people out, although someone usually has to get hurt first since there's so many old mines.

[@ViperKillerWannabe]

Thankfully they had a guide. Also, Matt’s been in a few mines before, so he definitely knows what he’s doing.

[@gazzafloss]

@@ViperKillerWannabemany years ago I lost two friends who entered a pit decline and ran into a "dead air" space that was full of CO2, by the time they realized they'd run out of oxygen in their atmosphere it was too late, they turned in panic to re ascend but collapsed and both fell further down the decline, they both died of asphyxia. A third guy that was behind them saw them collapse and felt himself weakening, just managed to climb back up the decline and survived to raise the alarm. Because of the possibility of "dead air spaces" caused by lack of air movement I wouldn't enter an abandoned mine, experienced guide or not, it's always a possibility. A proper experienced guide would be carrying an Oxygen meter, and that guy may well have had one on him , I didn't notice, but if something went wrong they're a long way from help.

Depends on the vehicle. Some makes/models the ball joint is pressed into the control arm and you need the proper tools to press them in and out.

For instance, take Sheryl Crow’s iconic lyric: “They’re nothing like Billy and me.” Delete “Billy and,” and the sentence still makes sense: “They’re nothing like me.” By contrast, if she’d sung, “They’re nothing like Billy and I,” that wouldn’t work - “They’re nothing like I” just sounds wrong. (Unless you add “am” to the end of that sentence, but let’s not overcomplicate things.)

Really brilliant episode... and thanks for showing the repair. I hate it when they show us the broken piece and then cut to the wheel going back on. And the mine was a real bonus. Thanks.

Keep up with the good work matt an team love watching you on KZbin God bless

The dip stick can supply some lubrication, provided there's oil in the pan. Used this a few times myself (on an Australian manufactured vehicle of course). Love the extension handle on the persuader. I love the country where these rescues take place. Cheers..

The Bronco in the background made me realise it's been a while since we've seen Jefe. I hope he's doing good and having fun with his cool car.

To the entire crew : A noteworthy episode. You caught the essence of the mountain and he creatures that deal with the terrain. Kudos to camera work to catch the images . And you editors that do the finished presentation. It had a Transcendental flow to it. Could be in a Documentary on PBS about tha " neck of the woods" . Carry on!

Over the years, I’ve fixed / helped fix quite a few vehicles broken down… For as much repair as you do on the trails, I’m surprised you don’t carry or bring battery impact wrenchs. I love my Milwaukee 1/2” impact with double flip sockets and 90° 3/8”impact. They save so much effort and time… those and a 12”x12” short piece of beam from a log cabin for a safety block or like in this case, you could have put under the lower arm and dropped the vehicle to put the ball joint together…. Beautiful area to be outside for sure.

[@brianthompson9136]

18:40 to see Matt with a new dual-wielding claw hammer technique! For all the haters out there lol!

[@sparkyofsocal]

We will never know but there is the great chance a big single jack or ball peen would have made a shorter video

[@CrowPal]

What's better than a claw hammer for trail repairs? Double claw hammers! Eat that you ball peeners.

[@oldboater]

Another great episode. We live in Ohio, but we’re visiting our daughter that lives in Irvine, CA this Oct. and while there we’re going to travel to Hurricane to see Matt’s Off-road Recovery. The guys at work will be jealous when I come back with Matt’s T-shirt😊

Great video!! The first guy showed some smarts when he got help before making a bad situation worse. Kudos to him. Very thoughtful of you to show him the correct path to get up the obstacle! Nice recovery on the Toyota "TUNDRA" LOL!! That was super nice of those people to share their "secret" mine with you. The view from the top was pretty awesome too!!

[@c-martz2846]

That poor Tundra climbing those mountains everyday, even if the ball joint flaw, it's really test on any vehicle. That's why see other countries adore the Toyota! Thanks Mat for the big effort to film an old mine, never seen one deep in the mountains.

As CB Philips (NBS Welding) says - "Learn to work with what you have, that way you'll always have what you need".

[@flamingviperv12]

9:45 Just a small correction, when it comes to timber lines in mountains, it varies between mountain ranges on where the timber line is based on how tall the mountains are. While it stands true that the timber line was pretty spot on for Tusher Mountain, on a mountain like Mount Hood in Oregon, the timber line is at 6,000 feet even though the mountain itself is at 11,000 feet. There's also some mountain ranges in Montana where the timber line is at 6,000 to 8,000 feet so it really just depends on the climate and overall elevation on where you're at for the timber line. It's a major "it depends" situation because there really isn't anything hardset about it.

[@iddddaduncan]

A ball joint on the trail is impressive.

[@johnkirby6547]

This was a really cool video to watch. 1st showing the guy the right path up the trail for his rig. 2nd the trail repair with basic tools and the beautiful scenery up to the top of the mountain and the tour of the mine last..

I found that I was holding my breath while you guys were in the mine. I felt the air go out as mat came through the opening.

[@johnmcraven3598]

Those ball joints aren't weak or underspecced, they just wear out eventually and have a catastrophic failure mod. Replace them with OEM parts (NOT cheaper aftermarket junk!!!) every 100K miles. 75K if you wheel it hard. Or if they're leaking grease.

[@edwardsimmons3721]

Nothing better than getting a guided tour of the mountains. Sometimes it’s not about how many tools you have but knowing how to use what you have.

[@Rusty.Shackleford1098]

As a proud 3rd gen 4Runner owner that lower ball joint jab hit hard… but someone told me jeep stands for “just everyone else’s parts” I know the yoga ball joints are bad but are they that bad really??

[@CarswithNash]

The setup on the Tundra is actually way better than the Tacoma/4runner where the whole weight of the vehicle sits on the coilover, they commonly snap off at the base.

[@backwoodstherapy]

I've always heard Jeep stands for "just empty every pocket," and for the work I've put into mods on my JLU, it's true, hahaha. IFS is inherently weaker than solid front axle. And it's worse when you start putting bigger tires on them.

[@gragor11]

@@backwoodstherapy I've heard Jeeps were bankruptcy starter kits.

[@pete4511]

I've got a 2 wheel drive 3rd gen 4Runner and I only drive on paved roads, so I only change my ball joints every 3rd oil change! I know that's pushing it but so for it's worked for me.

me being from Louisiana i lived in Layton Ut for two years and i have Asthma I could breath easier in Ut but you right the higher into the mountains it did get harder to get air,but it beat moving back home. I never knew how thick our air is here in La till I lived in Ut i stuck my arm out window of car when i got in my home town and told my brother in law dang give me and towel to whipe the water off my arm. I never knew people has summers so good in this world till i lived in Utah. If you never been its a place you need to see atleast one time Utah is beautiful. It did make me sad to see they bulldozed the dragstrip in Magna,I made many passes down that track

Just fitted RV exterior awning / porch lights to the side of my work van - 12v LED around 18" long and only come out just over 1" from the side of the van and angled down and out at 45 degree's but super bright light all along the side of the van where it's pitch black in the dark - now like daylight out to 10ft making it way easier / safer using the mirrors and going down narrow lanes. Seems like a good idea for off roading and going through trees at night .

Dang, I want to move to Utah. That is some awesome trails with some awesome scenery. Thank you for sharing the little tour!

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

The first guy was being smart. Having a spotter and another vehicle to winch you forward makes a big difference. That angle was way steeper than it looks on video. We were on Metal Masher in Moab no spotter or help.We have a winch and recovery gear but turned around when the trail started really beating up our skid plates and rock rails. We have a 4Runner with a 3" lift 33" tires and that trail was beyond what we wanted to risk. Didn't want to have to call Trail Mater. We did see Shawn in town driving the white Ford wrecker though.

When flying.... "you are encouraged to use supplemental oxygen above 10,000 feet MSL. At night, because vision is particularly sensitive to diminished oxygen, a prudent rule is to use supplemental oxygen when flying above 6,000 feet MSL." No joke for us lowlanders to expend energy up there ! =))

When you live up in the mountains your body gets used to it over time, it took me about a year before I was able to work as hard as I did at sea level.

An impact wrench is absolutely necessary for all the work you do in the field. Harbour Freight makes several nice cordless ones for a great price. Put one with a set of their sockets in each rescue vehicle.
