This Is Crazy, I Don't Know How To Do This!

Need to have a heart attack warning - I am an ex-Army, ex-paratrooper, zip line fanatic, repelling expert, downhill biker, and motorcycle off roader, this recovery was literally a cliff hanger, great job, Tom, Lizzie and Matt - "you got em" out" with all the drama and adrenaline pumping of scary things I have done... at 73, I now live vicariously through things like this -

I love how Matt does not boss around anybody he listens very well to any input And the trust that he has in everybody is phenomenal

The guy they rescued is my Gramps! So thankful for his friendship with this team! Thank you so much for all your great work!

Your videos rarely show how difficult your recoveries can be, this video showed that without becoming an off-roader nerdfest. Awesome job on the recovery and the video. "My heart is starting to settle just a little bit ..." I suspect Lizzie has a bigger pair than most off-roaders that have attempted that descent. Lizzie you are a legend!

Matt, you’ve built two great things there: The heavy wrecker is an amazing feat of imagination, engineering and construction And “The Team” is an excellent demonstration of management, mentoring and motivation. It takes both to pull off those sorts of recoveries. Congratulations on both accomplishments… Your team in its current form is the best !

Having been an avid off roader off and on for over 40 years, I quite often find you videos to be simply basic recoveries. This was impressive to say the least, and great work by everyone involved to prevent damaging the vehicle. Great lines, perfect communication and perfect utilization of the brakes on the jeep. Repair in place is the only option I would have been able to come up with in that situation. No way I would have tried to do those steep downhills with the sketchy steering, and I still can't believe you managed to tow it out without destroying it. You've built a hell of a recovery vehicle and team there Matt. Impressive.

The rear steer is a game changer. I can’t imagine trying to do a recovery like this without it. Great teamwork. Amazing rig.

I feel like if there are any out there, there are not many vehicles that can do what this thing does. Matt and his team have created a truly amazing, purpose built machine. I'm in complete awe every time I see it work. Wow.

The Smile on Matts Face shows Just how Impressed he is with the Wrecker, Congratulations to the Entire Crew Another Outstanding Video !! Family Entertainment at its Finest

This is what I've been waiting for. Just imagine years of doing this weekly or even MORR! THIS is exciting stuff. Matt, I am impressed with your design. The meticulous details. Engine center of gravity really paid off. The huge tires are magnificent. BRAKES! What could've happened without your specific brakes. The rear steer turns ALL of that back into a short frame vehicle. MAN OH MAN!

Kudos on one of the most technical recoveries I have watched your team do. Amazing precision and patience! Been watchin' you guys for over a year and love it. Always look forward to a new adventure.

Very possibly one of the best recovery videos you guys have made to date. "All the lines are terrible, that's the best one I can come up with." ... Proceeds to pick the best route, and descend that stretch with absolute precision. Great job Lizzy! (I credit her for that lol)

Wow. That was the most impressive feat of towing I've ever witnessed. I've seen lots of interesting stuff on your channel but this stands above them all - even the wrecker games didn't have anything this tough. That impossible grin on your face after making it down told the story best. Both the sense of relief & the sense of utter victory were impossible to ignore. I don't understand why I share the sense of pride of your accomplishment like I'd achieved something just by watching it. That doesn't make sense to me but I feel prouder as a human for having seen what you just showed us. Amazing.

The way you all worked together and absolutely trusted whoever was spotting at the time was the key thing that made this recovery successful! Having a super competent towing vehicle was necessary, and the Wrecker was necessary, however without a crew; and a very trusting one at that, it would have failed. I need to give a big shout out to Lizzy, she efforts and trust dangling back there were over 100% top notch! - she did exactly as instructed by Tom-Tom, her spotter! Great effort team.

Now THAT was the definition of TEAM ... Matt, Lizzy, and Tom-Tom ... you needed all three. Great job.

I continue to amazed at how capable the wrecker is! The brakes are working really well on the downhill and it looked like little effort to achieve that! Well done everyone!

Wooooow. Has Matt ever gotten through a recovery and described it as "crazy" before? I can't believe what I just watched. Definitely seeing how important all of the features of the wrecker are too. I thought the wireless winch controller was kind of just a convenience or cool factor thing but NOPE, you're going to need that for the spotter to be constantly adjusting it to get through different sections! If The MORRVair wasn't already enough, no one can doubt Matt's engineering skills...the wrecker is an absolute beast. Start with two axles and build the entire rest of the truck custom and it can do THAT. Amazing.

So I saw this recovery via the perspective of someone who was far away and it was impressive the amount of time it actually took to get this jeep out. The teamwork and Tom’s communication was amazing. Plus Tom works hard crawling up and down those rocks.

So I got a call from my Jeep dealership: my 2019 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Diesel is ready for delivery. And I don’t even drive on trails. Yet. 😅 Thank you Matt for the inspiration, we love the work you and your team does! Keep it up! 👍

Matt, start slinging the vehicles instead of picking them up from the front. Strap the front axles or chain to the frame from behind the bumper. If you read this and think about angles it will make sense. When you lift from the very edge of the bumper that is your 'pivot' point. If you sling from underneath/further back the straps or winch lines will then push rearward on the front bumper, not letting the vehicle swing towards the wrecker as much. That in combination with a stiff/semi-stiff adjustable x-brace from the rear bumper of the wrecker to the points where the slings are attached to the tow vehicle will almost completely eliminate any chance of the vehicle in tow rocking in towards the boom. 🍻
