I once got a work jeep stuck deep in the swamps of eastern NC. Like this, it was not an easy job. There was not really a "road" to get where we were. "Al", the crusty old wrecker driver and Navy Vet that came and got us, said as he was driving us (like a mad man) back to the spot we got stuck, "The first guy I worked for said you never leave one." My boss asked him, "Did you ever leave one? Al: "Yeah. I left two." He didn't elaborate. After the recovery, my boss asked, "So after seeing what you just went through to get us, I gotta ask, what about the two you left?" Al: "The first was a fully loaded cement mixer burried up to the axles. The second was a Cadillac that had jumped itself into a canal. Got it the next day tho with the help of my brother and a second truck..." He charged us $80 and even billed the company we worked for. "I don't take credit cards, but I'll write you an invoice. I know you're good for it" We always said he did at least $80 damage to his truck getting to us.

Mount the winch inside the box to get that extra pulling range you need with the big 4 seaters. 2. Ebay has wireless remotes for the winch cheap! 3.

I love the videos but if I could make one suggestion I would switch that coupler to a pintle hitch it would not pop off like that add safety chains and if the budget ever allows a tilt deck trailer with a big winch would be perfect for these recovery’s

Matt's whole channel is a metaphor for life. That's why I watch.

Too the comments about durability, I dare say any vehicle including a trophy truck that jumps 60 feet off the top of a dune and lands directly on its front end will sustain major damage. I have owned a Polaris XP 1000 rock and trail for over 4 years drove it 4000 miles over the roughest terrian , sand , mud , every trail in Moab and in the Mountains and have never broke anything or had to take it to the shop everything still runs like new.

I have to say I am sorry Matt 😢 I laughed when the trailer came off. ❤ love your unending efforts to get the job done 🎉🎉

You've evolved over the years. Those camera guys would have been hanging and pulling all over this machine in current times.

Matt is a good dude..especially when he remembers the jump box👍

Looks like the Rented Razors are fitted with weak joints to break easily if the buggy is "launched" to reduce structural damage... The rental company must either have a very good insurance and/or carry a lot of spare parts. I wonder how much the rental companies charge for one of these.... The towing companies must also have quite a high maintenance cost to be factored in each callout.

Made with the exact same pipe and joints used on the quads only real difference is the buggys are a minimum twice the weight and carry upto 5 people opposed to a quadbikes 1 they are also geared to go faster with the added need of a crumple zone. Only winner is polaris charge big $ to buy then charge big $ for parts.

That was a good one. I was like "yea... yea ... oh noooo.... " all the time. Kudos to you guys for also showing a not perfect job. Makes it all the more real. Great channel !

Congrats to Tommy on his new Truck! He writes, "Hey TFL team! I just wanted to thank you guys for all the awesome content that you guys put out on all of your channels! I recently picked up this 2020 F-150 with the 3.5L Ecoboost and being able to watch your in-depth reviews on every truck was incredibly more helpful than the salesmen at the dealerships. I hope you guys get back on good terms with Ford. You do great things for them! Just wanted to say keep up the great work and keep killing it Andre! Thanks from Chicago, Tommy"

Matt, a suggestion only here. Is there room for another battery under the hood of the Banana? Add another battery to the jeep, wire in series with the other battery and run a set of 2.0 red and black welding cables undrr the jeep (tucked up out of the way of course); and when you get to the back bumper use a couple sets of quick connections you see on forklift batteries and build a jumper cable using same color cables between the back bumper and the trailer and add same quick connect to the trailer, this way the battery on the trailer will always be charged. Another idea would be to work on the trailer and make it a tilt bed for instances like this.

15:20 matt finally states what i've been screaming. Hindsight heroes(like me) are just the worst. But gotta love that pissed off energy from matt

As my dad ALWAYS said, "patience and perseverance". He had it and I see Matt has it.

Continually cobble for the win! Now whenever I ask myself if I could botch something worse it ends up getting botched worse, lol. You may have invoked the Law of Murphy with that question. Great video as always.

Oh boy... I felt for you Matt, and yes, it was a brave, honest decision to expose an error of judgment - but then that’s exactly why so many admire your personality. Re the audio, it sounds as if somehow a live interior Banana camera mic track... possibly even live interior camera bag, inside the banana camera mic track became mixed in at the edit stage - or by radio mic interference with your main mic coming from inside the jeep.

Turned into an ABSOLUTE FIASCO on the 2nd RZR, but, you never got mad, just looked at problems, and said, well, let's try this, then this, then this, then that, then this, and a bit of that, a maybe just a wee of this... and, you're out. Your calm and fun under pressure (and willingness to show your struggle) should be recognized and appreciated.

I was thinking you could put little eyelets on either side of your trailer, at 2 foot intervals or so, that would allow you to hook the winch line on, so that when you are pulling stuff onto the trailer and if you need to pull it one way or the other, or on an angle like this, it may help?

The way one gets experience, is to do it the wrong way multiple times. I'm happy you figured out the right way at the end. I like watching off-road recovery because I was in the middle of doing it when I was young. I did most of my saves in a Toyota Xtra-cab 4x4. People couldn't believe what I could do with a light truck. As you now figured out, never pull the trailer down into a bowl. I managed to lead the entire club into a bowl of sinkholes and quick sand. It was a learning day.

Might be my favorite vid so far and I've seen about 3 dz., (almost 13 in metric). The perseverance was enjoyed. Nice how innovative an adaptable you are.

Battery with a small solar panel to recharge it does wonders for keeping a trailer winch battery topped off.

In fact, make it one of the small lithium-ion batteries and it should still keep the weight down, which Matt prefers.

You got it done. So proud of you. You never give up. 👍👍❤️❤️

Better yet, have several mounting points along each side rail and be able to use the winch cable from different angles. Open style block would make rerouting the cable fairly easy. But hey, they have incredible challenges and do an amazing job. Odds are they have considered all our suggestions and for reasons they know (by way of "experience") have already opted for what they know works.

I'd run some wiring from the Jeep's battery to connectors on the back of the bumper. Just have a set of cables on the trailer and plug into the Jeep. Basically use the Jeeps battery like they did without having to remove it.

Rewatching these older vids and seeing where you, and where you are, what a great advancement in your operation. I’d say in your personality too, but only in how you are better prepared -which comes with experience - but your humility has made you a better person. The community involvement - and I’m going to throw a little compliment to Jaymie here, cause we know that behind a great man, is a greater woman - to how you build up others, through training them and trusting them in areas they’re not familiar with or experienced, like with Lizzy and welding. You’ve given Rudy a great platform to start his own YT channel, and your other sons are also benefiting from your talent and parenting. Sorry to see some faces go - Randy, Trevor, Skeeter, Lizzy - but great to see those who are replacing the vacancies are stepping up and beginning new adventures. Continue to strive to reach out to others, both young and old like Abbey - what a sweetheart - and Ed, what a great source of knowledge and stories, as well as four legged critters and even those without legs, like snakes and ringtail cats too.

Stubbornness wins over intelligence most of the time. Matt it proves your human. Still made a greatly detailed video.
