I've had several pieces of steel removed from my eyes, been doing welding/machine work since the early seventies, you are absolutely right!

Is it me or are these produced in such a wholesome way that I don't notice all the safety issues as easily. How often I've had students (even with proper PPE) with safety glasses still get splinters in their eyes. Everyone that works around welding has to wear dark out shields of some sort. Even with all that happening, everything looks great, and professional. Seems Juxtaposed, but it works.

The Banana comes off the trailer and the Spyder goes on. Also, I worked in 2 different driveline shops in California (southern), so you know I've seen some things. I once replaced a tube on a 1710, which is a big rig driveshaft, that came into the shop in two pieces. One of the drivers had locked up on it, and their mechanics did a beside the road replacement of that puppy. Pretty danged impressive on the part of those guys.

That's Rowher Flat OHV in Angeles National Forest. It's a nice beginner/intermediate trail for any 4x4 vehicle. You don't need lockers. Most of the main trail is fire road and steep climbs ranging from 25 to 35 degree climbs. Depending on your line it can get moderately flexy or very flexy and technical. There are various off-shoots and play areas that are more challenging with steeper climbs, loose ground and may require lockers depending on the line.

That was a very interesting recovery. Matt seems to have solutions for everything 😅

Just a little word of caution regarding cutting the yokes off driveshafts. Never be in front of them when you cut around, then tap them out. There are rare circumstances when the shaft has become pressurised if it has been heated. The cause is the cardboard corrosion/noise damper has become charred and given off gas. How would I know? I was cutting drive shafts up for lightweight framing for an airboat. I tapped one after ring cutting with a hacksaw. It blew out explosively, shifted the vice bench back about two inches, hit and shattered the cover on an Evinrude outboard, flew up, hit the carport roof and ended up in the backyard. If in doubt, drill a small hole with a dampened drillbit to relieve any gas pressure within. If I had stood on front and pulled on the thing, it would have cut me in half.

Matt, you guys are talented and have a great channel to watch. I'd love to keep seeing you guys doing your thing and helping folks out, but you won't be able to do that if you get hurt on the job. As a construction worker it really bothers me seeing lack of PPE, ESPECIALLY when grinding and cutting. All it can take is a slip of your hand to pinch that disc and shatter it, and without a guard on the grinder and face shield/safety glasses on your face it can be absolutely devastating. Many major arteries and veins run through the area the cutting disc is under. Considering most of these locations are pretty far out there it's really not worth the risk of serious/fatal injury without professional medical attention nearby. Stay safe Matt and the crew!

Welcome to our weird, gloomy start of summer in CA! What a fantastic recovery! You guys are the perfect example of "It doesn't always need to be perfect - it just has to work enough to get you home"! "Fuel gauge does not work"? Perfect car for Matt (LOL)!

I just love these stories and adventures! Living it vicariously through KZread, and when I say it like that.. it sounds kind of lame.. but, it is a nice way to wind down the day. I get to see some beautiful country, hear some stories, maybe learn something about off-roading & recovery.. stupid stuff not to do, smart ways to get out of sketchy situations…. I know I’m not alone in this , as there are nearly 500K folks enjoying it too!

I agree/3am when I finished it,and have read down to this.

I really appreciate Matt being a Makita man. 😊

This is so cool! My mom and nephew actually took pictures of that truck as it was driving down the street from us immediately after this recovery. This trail is 4 miles from my house! Wish I would have seen as I would have stopped and said hi! Great trail repair!

What trail is this?

Matt’s only new purchase requirement is that the fuel gauge doesn’t work. Tom, the prison wallet is not the safest place for the client’s keys. Nice job everyone!

Fuel gauge? What's that? LOL! 🤣🤣🤣 BTW, I'm an old truck driver and have driven many miles using only the odometer for a fuel gauge. That said, I was highway miles that were consistent, off road fuel mileage will be anyone's guess so you can't use the odometer for that. Back to my childhood on a farm tractor that never had a gauge, you just took the cap off and looked in the tank. But now I'm telling my age. LOL!

Cheers Matt and CO for saving that Junk! :D

Another great watch. And the “Spider” is a must have!

Nice field repair and recovery ! But the Spider Score is the Topper ! What a nice Classic ! Thanks for sharing !

"That's how long it takes us to do an impossible job... two hours." You guys are amazing. Absolutely love it! Just found your channel a week ago, and have been binge watching every video since the beginning, but I do jump ahead when new vids are posted. Right now, I'm at the videos posted in March of '21, and wow... Rhett (did I get the spelling right?) has really sprung up in two years. You guys are so tight knit, you can't even tell friends from family. Exactly how life should be. From your fans down the road in St. George.

yes you spelled Rhett correctly

I can't believe two other people couldn't figure out how to get that rig out of there. Fun video.

The short montage of the 19 point turn is epic.

Another great recovery for the Off Road Wreck Team and Matt leading the endeavor. TT did his stick welding and he gets an ATA boy right now. Now TT can go back to the shop and make some shakes on drill press. The one other thing he has mastered. The customer offered other rescue outfits this job and they all walked, some ran, away. Sensational efforts by all of the team members. Now a little deeper into California for the Corvair shopping trip and money was on Matt taking home another Corvair. Everyone who bet on the Corvair wins as Matt takes another one home. We do know he will keep buying Corvairs until he has them all. Totally deserving Matt.

@@r6racer53 American trailers (goosenecks included) look to carry a lot of ball weight, they have their axles further back than the average Aussie one.

The front wheels almost came off the ground with the rocking of that rig. It was way too top heavy and too light of a truck. Not many people know about phasing drive shafts, and to get one done in the field. Well done Tom.

This reminds me of my Navy days. When we were at sea we had to figure things out as there weren’t any shipyards or contractors in sight. Amazing what you can figure out when you have to. Darlington, South Carolina

Matt has the same vibe as a Doctor performing surgery when he does recovery repairs. Its like an artform

Um, I don't know what surgery you've had, but if your doctor chops bits up, welds new bits onto them, and then puts them back in, you might want a second opinion.

So nice that Matt did remember to bring his safety eyeballs with him🙂

Very impressive trail repair job! I’ve never been more impressed with Matt and his gang.

Very Very Impressive Matt, i’ve been a dealer tech for around 15 years you’re knowledge and how you work is very impressive

I do believe the crew is reaching a zenith of skill and experience Riiiiiiiiiight on

Great filming Greg! Glad Tom didn't lose the keys. Matt is going to need a bigger lot just for his Corvair projects!

Those cutting skills are next level.

Just love Matt’s optimism.

Matt, My husband and I watch your show all the time and we think you are amazing. No one compares to you. Thank you for making your KZread channel so entertaining.

Matt, love that you are a fan of Corvairs. Corvairs are actually the only Chevy I have ever owned. I have had quite a few over the years. I even had a '64 Turbo engine in a '61 VW Sedan... I just sold the last of my Corvair parts last year, a set of Halibrand magnesium kidney bean wheels, complete with knock offs! Have fun restoring your Spyder!!

Jeffe standing next to that rig... _What a Monster!_ And the truck is pretty big too

Another great use for Matt-straps, measuring! Nicely done, guys

Great rescue and greasy job of field welding. Can’t wait to see you work on that Spyder!

Might be one of the most impressive recoveries! The heavy wrecker is coming in handy. Nice work!

Im a big MORR fan but this wasnt anything special really. They drove all the way to Cali just to repair a drive shaft? I would have figured the guys there woiulda taken the old one out and went to town to get a new one or one built.
