I was in the first part of the video (the dad with the two boys that they first saw when they got close and we briefly chatted). We drove up to Smith's Mesa and could quickly tell the slick mud was going to be a problem so we didn't go far on the muddy road (only went uphill). We then saw the couple down the hill a ways and they flashed their lights so we walked down to see what we could do. We had a ton of mud stuck to our shoes. We couldn't push them worth beans by hand. I tried to coach her on driving slowly to avoid tire spin and slowly pick up speed to get up the hill but it was no use. That car was going nowhere on its own. They didn't really have cell service so I called a local towing place and they said I better call Matt so I did and sure enough he was amazing. That poor couple had been trying to get up that road for hours before we saw them. Matt came within like 20 minutes or less and rescued them in about that same amount of time. That mud was crazy slick!!

Trucker tip: Use a long, wide ratchet strap to wrap around the circumference of the tire and tighten it up until the inner and outer beads flare out to the rim. This, along with the water should create enough of a seal to reseat the bead. Obviously, this works best with the tire off the ground. Actually, Matt’s Straps would be perfect for this!!

I found a great tool to keep from getting muddy or wet when laying on the ground. Buy a Universal Accordion Auto Sunshade that you put in your car windshield to help keep the inside of your car cool. I use one specifically to lay on the ground with because they are water proof, they are light to carry, they fold up and take up little space and they wash off easy for use the next time! Oh also you can keep it folded up and use it to kneel down on rocky or hard surfaces!!

A trick for the Makita air compressor - get one of those zip ties that you can open and close, like the ones with a slot and triangles beaded cable tie, that way you can keep the button presset with a zip tie while doing something else and it will automatically stop at set pressure. Then remove the zip tie and keep it around the handle. It really amazed me that they managed to make a digital power on/off button but not a digital pump on/off button...

If you take a ratchet strap and wrap it around the middle of the tire (where the tread is), and then tighten it up, it pushes the bead against the rim all the way around on both sides of the tire, then it's no problem to air the tire up and seat the bead. I've done it lots of times. Just wanted to share this tip with you. Thanks for your channel, we enjoy it.

Great vid. As usual thanks for the hard work. A trick I was taught to rebead a tire was to put a ratchet strap around the tire. By squeezing the center of the tire it causes the bead area to swell helping reseal the bead til there is enough pressure in the tire to rebead it.

@@duramaxdad it's a 2 piece rim that has a spacer, which in a hmmwv a big rubber donut called a run flat that pinches both beads (thus the name double) of the tire when bolted together and prevents the tire from separating from the rim. Even the fancy KMC beadlocks Matt runs are only a single beadlock for the outside. There is no protection but rarely fails on the inner bead. The problem is that 16.5s have been obsolete for 20 years and only found in surplus military tires or super swamper tires. Also most military vehicles including the hmmwv have a central tire inflation system that allows them to raise and lower all 4 tires at once from inside the vehicle while moving. So essentially by switching to a 17 inch wheel to buy cheaper tires you lost two very useful features for your offroad tour.

An effective way of reseating a bead I learned from an old guy.... Use a tow strap around the outside if the tire . It forces the bead out... But it can be super dangerous if you exceed the strap limits.... So dont. Good stuff . Love it

Hey Matt it doesn’t always work but sometimes you take a ratchet strap and running around the tire and keep it close to the center of the tread and crank up on the strap a little bit sometimes it helps eat the beads to where you can get air in it doesn’t always work but I’ve done it a few times over the years all right oh by the way, one of the advantages of having hubs instead of automatic four-wheel-drive it get you out of the vehicle you check things out case in point with my old 71 power wagon back in the 70s 318 automatic for 10 gears hell of a truck I was out cruising in the back woods by where I live here near Kennerdell PA and we were going down this old road and I got out to turn the hubs in and I always used to carry about a 4 foot long it was a piece of broom handle and there was a puddle I stuck that broom handle with that puddle and it sunk clear out of sight even in four-wheel-drive I would’ve got stuck but you see if I had automatic four-wheel-drive I probably would’ve got stuck because I wasn’t out of the vehicle anyway it’s a stronger set up anyhow this is Jim mungai From Kennerdell Pennsylvania
God bless older people that still adventure like the rest of us. Use it or lose it!
I would like to suggest installing a dual arb compressor solution in all your offroad recovery vehicles. They can air up a 40+ tire pretty quickly. The biggest pain is you should have a 20+ foot hose with you. Power tanks are very portable and quick but you gotta keep them full.

Easiest way to re-seat the bead is the hairspray trick. Just spray it around the bead, put a lighter next to it and it pops (mildly explodes) into place. Gasoline, lighter fluid and anything else that burns is fine for it. It's very common among forest offroaders.
We have some gumbo mud around here that gives you about an inch extra tire diameter for every 100 yards travelled; this seemed more snot-slick than sticky. Still pretty nasty to deal with, though... Good job on getting the tire bead re-seated. If the driver had driven very far on the flat, it might've been a different story!

@@iffykidmn8170 I see what you're saying. But I've jacked up many a vehicle with a bottle jack simply using my leveling blocks as a base. I was a service call guy for a tire company years ago, in Florida. Lot's of sand. I've hacked up 80,000 pound trucks, farm equipment with tires you can have a party in and loader tires weighing over 1,200 pounds each. And in all sorts of conditions. Yes, we used an air jack a lot of the time, but may times we had to use simply jacks and a plastic base I carried meant for mobile home blocking. Lightweight and very stable. I'm only a part time overlander and have enough sense to have an ARB air compressor permanently installed in my rig. Nobody with any good sense would go out there with a little emergency compressor meant to top off your Honda civics 13 inch tire if it's a little low!
When I saw those brothers just absolutely vibing I couldn't help but be reminded of that Joe Cappa fella. Just a couple well-rounded boys. Standout scene was certainly the dad questioning the lack of jacket. Hilariously relatable.
Tire tip: it helps to wrap a ratchet strap around the whole tire in the middle & squish the tire.. it slightly widens the beads & often can be just what ya need to get both beads to touch the wheel to start holding air.... especially if you only have a low volume compressor like that. Otherwise ya gotta do the flammable POOF method ;) but ratchet straps definitely help.
Try compressing the beads with the ratchet strap around the tire. I've done it several times on tires.

I don't understand why Matt didn't use the ratchet strap technique. You take one or two ratchet straps and wrap them around the centerline of the tire and tighten as much as possible. That spreads the tire at the bead and pushes it against the rims. No need to hold the tire in the hope the bead seals.

Ever since Tom Tom has come along, there has been less Lizzy. Less Lizzy = BAD.

Ain't that the truth! Leave Tom Tom in the shop and bring Lizzie.
Great idea to check the tire already on the vehicle! Nicely done Matt & Tom.
I liked at the end of the video about the Jacket and cold hands. I drilled oil wells in NE Wyoming in 1977. There was a guy there on our crew that work tee shirts. He was born and raised there. Acclimatized to the cold weather to a point.
One thing I found that helped me a ton seating beads was using a cheap 16-18" walmart bike inner tube to put around the wheel and slightly inflate. It helps seal up any gaps. Then once the bead starts taking I just pull the tube off and let he fill up.
Good folks on this one. I was just up there on the mesa after the rain and that mud was like ice. I don't know what's up with that Utah mud and sand, it's different than a lot of what I'm used to. I'm not surprised that it catches some people out.
I missed seeing the banana on recoveries and wheeling. Good to see it working
I had a great day out with Gary from Redrock Humvee last November. He took me on these trails. It was much better than driving myself over unfamiliar roads as we don’t have anything like this in UK. Just like Matt recommended.

I was visiting my son in Los Angeles , but rented a car & drove up to Hurricane especially to see & experience some of the areas I’d seen on your videos. Gary was brilliant & he showed me your yard too
I still can’t believe how people drive 2WD vehicles out into the wilderness! Mind boggling! Keep up the great work crew!
Well that gave the people on the tour some great memories!!!! What a superb adventure!!!
That Banana is so well built! Matt, you've done a great job.
You guys definitely have some pretty sceneries for being in the desert. Lots of cool rocks and stuff
Great Hummer rescue! Glad everyone enjoyed the downtime AND the rescue!
Nothing better than a touron taking in an event as an experience and enjoying it. It really doesn’t get much better.

Except I thought the plural of tourist was 'tourii'. They did have a super attitude, tho!
Wednesday afternoon here coffees made, so time to watch MORR. Cheers Matt and team (TomTom)
When life sends you lemons and you enjoy the scenery in stead. Nice one again guys. Regards.
That mud is something else. I remember driving from Ignacio heading to Navajo Dam and seeing mud flying in the air from a side road coming my way , I slowed down and out came this oil well service truck flying out into the road and pulling over it was covered in mud all that you could see that did not have mud is where the wipers cleared the windshield. When I pulled up next to him I could see he had chains on the rear ( a dualy ) they had broke and smashed the fenders to pieces two of the tires were flat on the back and one in the front I asked him is he needed any help and he said nope good to go . Never buy a used oil service truck and stay out of the mud if you do get in it don’t stop . Thanks for the video
I gotta say I'm impressed by that Lady's driving skills in the mud and how that car made it as far as it did. And Matt's car jack can actually run over a zip tie!
I'm fascinated by Smith Mesa. Never been there, but when I DO go to Hurricane, MORR and a trip up Smith Mesa are on my must-do bucket list. It's the whole Cold War aviation and Space race history about the place. Understand there's not much the average person can actually see there, but I'm still gonna run up there. And will definitely stay on the main road and not veer off like these folks did. BTW, that road up looks like it's been repaved since Google Street view last went up there - it looks pretty rough on there so it's good to see it looks better....
Kind of interesting how we here in the north of the state have slick roads due to snow and ice, while down south it's due to slippery mud. Bet it makes great bricks.
So nice to see that there are still people who can make the best out of a bad situation instead of crying and getting dramatic
Lol they leave you behind while your trying to go uphill. Great video guys!
New at MORR windshield cleaning kit… 😂 Doubles as a Matt’s Strap holder! 😉
That lovely Lady did a great job, Thanks Matt!
