Gotta give props to the first guy for the "I didn't have a spotter, and I wasn't comfortable, so I made a call". Far too many people just keep pushing beyond what they're comfortable or capable of, and end up making things worse for themselves.

Just a heads up for next time you need it, about 21 minutes in, you were talking about needing another jack. The Toyota had a basic jack with the tire change tools, it isn't the best item, but it is a jack. Always enjoy the videos, and I hope your boys enjoy every moment they get with their dad, even when your grumpy or angry. I know I wish I had years with my dad when he was young enough to do what you do Matt. Keep truckin' everyone!

Much respect to the first recovery… “I didn’t have a spotter and it didn’t feel right.” I will never tax, tease, whatever anyone no matter how good naturally it was for having the smarts to go… nope, I need help… males, well males in my clan, are not known for that, so good to you bud, much respect. 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. Just look at the interaction with your boys, how they genuinely love spending those times together getting their hands dirty for honest work with “the old man”. Must respect my man

It's great you guys go the extra mile to show how the line is done. Not sure about Utah trails and traffic in the summer but, in AZ there are places you can wheel where you may not see anyone else for days at a time. Here, it's always a great idea to never wheel alone and if you have no other options, at least pack a ridiculous amount of water and let people know where you're going to be.

Matt, I grew up in Provo, then moved to North Carolina after I got married, elevation around 250 feet above sea level. After about 10 years I came back deer hunting near Robbie, up above Spring City. We drove up on four wheelers. Don't know the elevation, above tree line, and I couldn't help with gathering firewood. Couldn't catch my breath. Growing up I never experienced that, we were in the mountains all the time. But now living at basically sea level, that elevation will get you for sure :)

When I stopped for gas I asked what the altitude was. I was at 7000 feet. I shouldn't have been driving I was so light headed, but I knew the only cure was to get down the other side of the Rockies.

Matt....you are very good at car repairs. Changing out a ball joint in the field with limited assets is amazing. It seems like you could take my approach and carry more than you think that will need. Battery operated impact driver. Cheater tube for stubborn nuts. Rust breaking liquid. GoJo cream for cleanup. If I were there I would have a large section of carpet to reduce the negative aspects of rocks. You have an uncanny ability to not have pain and discomforting situations affect you.

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.

@@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.

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.

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. On some it is riveted in and you have to replace the entire control arm. It's not too bad of a job if they are bolt in like most Japanese brands. As long as you can get the stem to pop out of the knuckle.

Fun trip! I got out of breath just watching due to the altitude. My brother lived in a cabin for 20 years or so at 10,500 ft in WY. I'd be huffing and puffing just doing basic things. Him and his kids that were raised there would be out pacing me badly. Grizzly bears was his biggest issue. He killed several right on the front porch, once in the middle of the night. Got up to hit the outhouse, opened the door to find the doorway full of hairy butt. Bear was eating dog food. He fell back inside, hollered at the wife for his .44.... popped the door back open and emptied the pistol. Closed it, and didn't go out again til morning...... I guess the need had passed.

I agree but I wish folks would stop saying "me and so and so." when it should be "so and so and I". My kids today laugh about it when they hear someone speak like that. It was one of my pet peeves while they were growing up. I'd ask, " Did you just call so and so mean?". "No" they would say", "I just said me and so and so". Before I get flamed, let say that there are a lot worse things one can do to the English language. This is a common and minor error that doesn't get corrected in schools anymore.

You and your crew are resourcefull beyond imagination. You made two exclamations that I wouldn't want my surgeon to say before I go under. 11:37 "Oh, my goodness!"😮 and 15:03 "That's not good at all."😮 When I replaced the ball joints on my C10, I had my truck on jack stands and used the floor jack to raise and compress the lower ball joint. But I was in my garage on a concrete floor. Carrying a floor jack that might rarely be needed could be a pain, but when you need it, it's nice to have. Relying on a jack as the sole support is dangerous. Weather forecast: Temp drops about 3.5F for each 1,000 ft elevation gain. Dress appropriately.

You might like to know that the stuff that lots of people got for their sheep and horses (Joe Rogan talked about it) at a time that stuff from bats was causing problems also works amazingly on what you have. Do a bit of searching for it and you'll find there's research to back that up but I've seen it work on my own family that had the same thing as you. It had a dramatic effect within a few hours. I'm from South Africa where LOTS of people got it since 2020 for their sheep, even if we didn't have sheep yet and it made our sheep feel a whole lot better.

Everybody knows it's deadly toxic, but we did forget how to use it. The red outer skin dried or cooked in boiling water is eatable, you could smoke it too... If handled properly it has some strong psychedelic side effect. It's said Santa Claus got its red and white robe from the Fly Agaric. In ancient Norway/Scandinavia the «shamans» where sharing out dried Amanita muscaria during winter solstice...

One is called the Angel of Death and the other is similar. There is easier ways on your body to get stoned than eating those mushrooms. Pretty though.

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.

I'm curious, on that first job it looked like he had more air in his tires than what is in the tires on the Banana. When Collin ran the same route in the Banana, it looked like the tires had less pressure in them. Of course, you showed the correct line, to succeed. But could tire pressure have helped him? It is super funny that Matt says he can't tell the difference between a Tundra or a Nissan, or the new Ford or Chevy trucks. But he can tell us from 50', what year and model a Corvair is.🤣😂🤣😅 I recognize by the landmarks, that drove that same road last year, up to the point of the left, where the spring is coming out of the road. Absolutely gorgeous! I would go back any time.

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.

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.
