Well the tenacity of you all is commendable! Got stuck one time something similar. It was out at the Salton Sea crossing what appeared to be a dry lake. Got about 50' into it and sank up to the frame. It was about a 100° and the ground was thick clay with a crusty salt layer. Between the heat, salt and time spent trying to get out we were all really having a Jesus moment. The nasty clay sucked up everything we had trying to get traction never to be seen again. The closest anything was about 15 miles. There was nothing to anchor to. Needless to say, important lessons were learned that day.

WOW What an experience! The best part is you never stop from learning new things and skills! Congratulations for completing that task and the Bronco proofs it’s a great vehicle!

You know this kind of stuff isn't staged when there is an emergency (like with Tom yelling for help) when they put down the camera and full on sprint to help. Most creators either stage, or just want the content during an emergency and will still run the camera instead of helping out. This is why I love this channel.

Hands down the best MORR episode ever. Matt, you are one crazy 🤪 and super tenacious man. My wife and I were just totally zoned in watching this. IMHO any mid size pickup or vehicle like the Bronco is perfect for this type of challenge. You need four wheel drive and a vehicle that is light as possible.

@wildwheelsdarin I disagree with the idea they were in danger. If I heard them correctly they were about 2 miles from restaurants, stores, and their own garage. They had cell phones that worked, and the only person who seemed physically distressed was Matt, who looked like he was close to collapse from heat stroke after all the running up and down that very steep, and sandy hill. I will say he was right when he blamed hubris for taking everything down there with no plan B, but that's part of life. Leaders are seldom "perfect". I do think this was a wonderful example of leader who made an error, and when he realized it, owned it and stated frequently that it was his fault, instead of blaming others, the vehicles, etc. He then worked harder than anyone to get them out. I also think how the group reacted says a lot about the type of person he is. Rather than blaming him, whining, and expecting someone else to fix things, he has the loyalty and friendship of his wife, his kids, his employees, and his best friend, who all helped and contributed to an ultimately successful outcome for everybody, They are all a very admirable group of people.

The most amazing, and telling part of this video was the speed Matt took off on foot up that hill to help Tom when the battery was arcing. He’d been walking up and down there all day at that point yet covered a 100m faster than I could run on the flat. Yes he made a mistake taking everyone down there, but the reason they went with him is because he’s such a lovely bloke. Real legend.

I liked it when Jayme asked, "Why'd you let off?"

The Bronco Wildtrak for the win! This model was designed for Baja racing and it performed just as it should have. Want a Bronco for rock crawling? The badlands is the one you want.

I am genuinely impressed with how well the Bronco did. I wonder if it has something to do with the transmission having 10 gears. Probably keeps the engine in a better rpm range.

It's a combination of the 10 speed transmission and factory turbocharging. It gives the engine a huge, flat torque curve, and the transmission does a fantastic job of keeping it right in the middle of it.

Jefe’s Bronco was impressive! I had doubts after seeing the banana and Morrvair. Porsche became dead weight, looked like a Subaru with no power (seemed too heavy for that hill). That sand combined with the elevation is brutal. What a grueling episode. Can’t wait for what’s in store for the Wrecker.

? wow ,

To be fair to the Porsche, that hill is probably one of the hardest spots to self-recover from or just get out in general. Although, for it being an off-road model, they need to make the torque split 50/50 or have an adjustable transfer case for situations like this.

Possibly the saddest video, but it may have brought comfort and closure to the friends and deceased’s family.

You brought yourself voluntarily into a situation not knowing it would test your limits more than you would have thought. You also tested your physical and mental limits. You failed with a lot but kept on trying and never gave up. You guys rock. Thx for teaching us how to not give up. Cheers from Germany.

He failed because he has the dedication of a puppy who cannot finish a SINGLE vehicle. gas gauges that don't work, tanks NEVER full, batteries half dead, lockers broken, A/C that don't blow cold in 110+ temps, etc. Don't glorify his complete lack of being responsible with his equipment. He set the stage for this massive failure with his habitual lack of care for his rigs. EVERY one of them. You watch, this Looooong series of failures in one single day/event STILL will not be a wake-up call for him to get even ONE of his rigs fully functional and prepared.

I think the Bronco had help from the Porsche leveling and packing the Wrecker ruts with it's belly. The Banana had to go through that mess. Still impressive for the Bronco but I think that was why it seemed better than the Banana .

I was impressed with how the Bronco went up that hill. It did much better than any of Matts vehicles.

Dig a deep hole, bury a wheel as an anchor, use the winch to pull the car over the sand. If necessary, use sand sheets. That's how they do it in the Sahara.

I am genuinely impressed at how Jefe and the Bronco just shot right up the trail. I was getting ready for another halfway getting stuck and winching, like the Banana, but at no point did the Bronco need assistance from another rig.

I don't remember hearing them talk about diff lockers on those, but it's true that looking at the video, they appear to have them. EDIT: Ok after some research: it appears that both diff lockers are limited slip on the Morrvair (Detroit style in the front, not sure about the exact style in the back). So there's no way to fully automatically lock them unlike in the Bronco.

Obviously you have never driven in a medium like sand or even perhaps snow to understand what these vehicles are actually capable of. I personally feel you should apologize to Matt and his team for a slanderous comment like calling his equipment "old junk vehicles". I tried to find humor in your comment but can't find it where none exists.

Keep up Matt, don't be disapointed. It was really hard part of the road. You are building incredible monsters I have never seen elsewhere.

A couple of questions. 1. Why would you bring all the vehicles to the bottom instead of one at a time? 2. Why would take the wrecker up first and rip up and rut the road? 3. Why would you try to pull two vehicles at a time? 4. Are you going to partner with a heavy lift helicopter company to get the wrecker out? 5. It was a great video over all.

Wow. This was a heavy episode. The Bronco did really good. And I still get goosebumps from the sound of the Morrvair, what a beast. Let's see how the HW gets out.
