"Go get familiar with your new Jeep that doesn't do the things that used to do" That's wise advice, I don't sense the attitude of elitism out of him, it's not a Land Rover, Hummer - it's a 👇 👉Jeep 👈 ☝️ And even if it was a Land Rover- Who cares? These folks are off-road, doing things that Matt does in his spare time for fun. -how did you twist that? We know how to get unstuck, perform these types of tasks because we've been there ourselves This guy loves off-roading, it's his hobby-you don't think he drove down a river or onto a path he should not have? Of course we do? It's fun! 😃 and that's how we know how to get unstuck! Look-he's got a few gray hairs... He's been getting stuck and unstuck probably most of his life. So the guy had a vacation adventure he's never going to forget... I'm betting Matt and his friends kick back over a root beer Saturday nights, and chuckle at the stupid things they did when they were kids, with less experience. Not like he was driving around drunk with his kids in the car and went off a cliff. I don't punish people for being adventurous-he's doing the same thing at 50 years old that Matt did at 15. Only the guy with the Jeep doesn't have the same fifteen-year-old's experience. I don't recall him using the word "expensive" And he knows he'd be a hypocrite - it's his job to help people-if it didn't happen this often, he wouldn't make a living at it. And I'm guessing his resume to qualify him for this type of work, are a few life experiences of getting stuck! It's a Jeep! They're just having family fun! His having a shiny new red Jeep doesn't bother the fact that I like to drive 1975 beat-up international harvesters... We're all happy!

Matt's frustration with the customer was palpable through the screen, I'm amazed he didn't chew the guy out more. People like this jeep owner are why we have fewer and fewer OHV areas - they simply can't stop themselves from going off the trail and ruining the environment for their own amusement. Hopefully their insurance doesn't buy them a new Jeep, and they learn a lesson... doubtful, though.

I got stuck in a river once for 2 days. There just happened to be a T bar on the bottom that perfectly shot up and severed my shift cable on the trans. In addition to the $1k tow bill, I got to replace the fluids in both diffs, the t case, and trans, plus it took a year for the last of the ton of sand to shake it's way out of the chassis. I don't do water crossings anymore without being able to see the bottom and walking across first.

Having crossed the Southern Utah streams and rivers for decades in my off roading adventures, Matts words of wisdom about not being able to stop rings so very true. The sand moves, your vehicle sinks, you can't dig out because the sand is moving. Even with a light ATV type vehicle, getting out once you sink is tough.

Personally, I think that if every other word is a curse word, the person uttering it has a limited vocabulary. And probably an IQ to match. Just my opinion.
What a day! Matt is such a patient person who systematically and metrically problem solved a very challenging Jeep extract. Then while still wet and I am sure somewhat frustrated, instantly pivots to educator by having Tom to the extract on the car. Always teaching, and mentoring for others to become better. This is what a real leader does. So very impressed and so very glad this video dropped so I could watch during breakfast here in Iowa. Very much appreciate your entire “Matt’s Family”!

Great recovery. You guys showed some good tips on water fording. Most offroaders probably already know, to the few, always run your breather tubes off the axles transfer case high, engine air intake raised or snorkel, ignition system sealed. Some of our trips had spots where we had to cross water , at times deep enough to come inside the cab. Buddy system when you go out to areas where cell does not work.
This video is everything I love about this channel. Really difficult recovery. Ingenuity. Wonderful family interaction. And thanks Rhett for picking up the trash tire.

But if this wasn't common, Matt wouldn't be making a living at this! Lol! I got my husky Malamute able to pull my ATV out when I get stuck - lots of places to get stuck in Alaska, always ready just need to feed him a little bit more so he can pull out the diesel! Have fun!

Expensive day for that Jeep owner. Beautiful vehicle too. Nice river to lazily tube down if you were wearing about 80 SPF sunscreen.

Matt, I think you should invest in ceramic window tint for your recovery vehicles. Their AC systems, if existent, won't ever be able to keep up with the infrared energy pounding you guys on their own. There are some really great high visual light transmission options that still block nearly all of the infrared energy, which is where the heat comes from.
I am an offshore sailor. When sailing you must read the water. When the waves form little pyramids next to the ruined jeep, at minute 8:22 and Jamie says "He hit a Hole" it means a transition from deep water into shallow water, or vice versa, ...and the reaction of RUN AWAY RUN AWAY! (like Monte Python...(Smile). Another Navy term for linking, and towing two boats is called Steady Strain as John McCain so effectively defined. Respect!

There's no greater wastage than that caused by insurance companies that just willy nilly total everything. As a Jeeper of many years I'm positive that thing would be totally fine after just normal failed fording maintenance. New battery, crank with no spark plugs to get rid of potential water in cylinders, change differential oil (standard practice after ANY major fording anyway), maybe dry the fusebox with a hair dryer, and it's good as new. There's hardly any electrics in the lower portion of the cabin, it's designed that way for this very reason. There are drain plugs in the floor, too...

Matt pushes his vehicles to the extreme and they're so well built they never let him down. Tom's Digdug is a cool 😎 old school square body but it definitely needs a locker in the front differential and get rid of the leaf springs for coilovers for a better ride.

"Well built" isnt how anyone would describe a jeep haha
Dig Doug is definitely teaching me why i have so much work to do on my truck Thank you TomTom
23:39 That front window tint has to be darker than the legal limit. Possibly why he got stuck. That's also got to be dangerous at night.

Love the Captain Matt Sparrow reference People drive in rivers a lot in the UK too. Looks like fun but I agree with Matt - it's a shame when your expensive car gets ruined Peanut loved it as much as Rhett
Note to Jamie. When I first started watching your all's channel I remember you sitting behind a desk in a front little cubby of an office. You have come a long way for you and am glad
Other than knowing when people died or got hurt, your recovery trips seem kindof fun.
great recoveries and peanut looked so happy running in the water looked so refreshing and cool....thanks for bringing us along for the adventures. and keep making great videos 📹 👍 👌 👏 and recoveries....

yeah, Peanut is my favorite character in this channel 😃
For a long time I have watched and loved this channel! The entire MORR crew is extremely knowledgeable, hardworking, compassionate and generous. True Americans at their best. Thank you for being such great examples for others!

You took the words out of my mouth. These four people are who I’d want to see if I was stuck out there
I’ve been watching several of these and…not ONE f bomb. How good is that! Good guys and gals doing good things. Sweet!
I was loving watching peanut. River crossings are fun and exciting, but experience and a fit for purpose vehicle are a must for that adventure.
Your dogs have so much fun on these trips! If they didnt want to be there you wouldnt be able to find them when its time to leave.
Good way to wind down after work thank you Matt for all the hard work you and your crew do
i know jobs are not easy sometimes, but you have the nicest job in the world and the scenery is just too cool, coming from a Quebec guy.
Amazing recovery A real show of your skill AWSOME
The years of experience it takes to pull each of these vehicles out is just mind boggling! And it's not just pulling out vehicles; it's understanding where in the desert they are, how the terrain works and varies throughout the year, etc! And Matt and his crew do this like a walk in the park. You guys are awesome to watch! 😎😎😁🤯🤯🤯Keep up the great works!
I'm glad to see Rhett appear to be more comfortable and his input is refreshing to hear from a young man's viewpoint. May God bless Matt & his gang.
Great management Matt. I once witnessed a youngster doing doughnuts on a beach that had tidal pools. He spun it right into one. Brand new Chewy coupe with a 409 engine. First day of driving it. Last day too. Water was almost above the roof line.
When I saw this video, I was reminded of the novella, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (& river boat captain Marlow) heading upstream. The boats (recovery vehicles) Marlow (Matt) and the risk that both recovery vehicles might sink in an abyss. Remarkable that both vehicles got out 'safely" and the flooded Rubicon was pulled out too. To me it's another one of Matt's 'remarkable & memorable' outings, where matters quickly could have gone 'south" but for whatever reason didn't. Thank goodness it didn't happen weeks ago, when the river level was much higher.
Rhett: "Wet jeans are the worst!" Yup. 😆
One of the most enjoyable recoveries I’ve seen by the team. I enjoy a river, and or mud recovery. Job well done!
Matt, Tom, Dig Dug...new axle housings/axles, gears, aftermarket transfer case, lockers, suspension, true front/rear dig capability, frame strengthening work, hydro-assist steering, more tow points, two winches, a brush guard from Serious, Inc. (fictitious, only making a point), more engine torque...it needs it, you guys need it to assist and do recoveries solo, we'd very much like to see an entire upgrade series on it to near-Morvair capability, if not equal to it. Tom is MORR Crew in a big way now, Heffe has his Bronco now (he deserved it) and he uses it to assist and recover rigs, Tom deserves to have his OWN uber-capable, off-road recovery rig also...it will be a HUGE hit on the channel!
i love the swimming that matt did, the doggy having a blast, and the sarcastic comment about the jeep was on point. love these
I can always click the "Thumbs UP" before a video knowing it'll be a good one. Matt that MORRvair is truly one great rig. You all are in my prayers Hoka Hey
Instant regret? I'd call it more like sweet revenge for polluting river water. Lol.
I cant even imagine getting in that situation, and finding a recovery team to get me out! These guys are bold.
Going into a river solo, while not having a snorkle is beyond me.

😂 Right ! 😂
Built a off-road wrecker doesn’t bring the wrecker… 😝 love y’all and just teasing
As great as Matt and the whole crew are, I must confess, half the time I watch these just to see the Morrvair in action, that is the baddest of badass vehicles.
I hope you charged this guy several thousand $$$ to get this vehicle out.

One of the most challenging recoveries I have seen you guys do. It is cool to see how you keep trying diffrent things and using your vast experience to figure it out. Another successfull recovery! Well done!
Boy…..that was one expensive adventure drive up a river!! Matt, you taught many lessons on this recovery, mainly DON’T drive up a river especially alone or without a spotter. Great works MORR team and be careful in that extreme heat 🥵

Nice work Matt and team...! I agree with the question of why do people drive through rivers?? Tubing is more fun! Just in time before the blinding winds hit!
Watching the struggle at that tight bend with the sky’s getting dark adds a little drama..knowing a downpour upstream can make the water rise a couple feet in a just few minutes. This would have been the perfect job for the wrecker!
love seeing the first aid kit hanging there 😍😍 lol, when Matt walking up the river, it looked like the Moorvair was stalking him, 😂🤣😂🤣 live on the shore, sandy beaches....walking in knee deep water, soft sand...is a workout does anyone there go up and Gold pan these rivers, creeks, is it legal...just for fun, looks beautiful there
