@@savagebob911 Not that your commentary regarding alcohol is wrong but vapor lock has been a problem ever since the mechanical fuel pump was installed to draw fuel past any hot area on the way to the engine. Odd as it might seem, prior to fuel pumps, gasoline was gravity fed to the engine before fuel pumps were invented. The Model T Ford had its tank mounted above the cowling, below the windshield, thereby above the engine. When pumps were added to the system, mechanics were wrapping fuel lines with all sort of shields to keep the heat out. Some worked better than others but if it was hot enough, the fuel vaporized and everyone got to take a break until it cooled and re-condensed. The best solution to date (aside from electric cars and they have their own issues...) is an electric fuel pump placed near (but NOT in the fuel tank). Fuel is pumped to the engine under pressure and there are no vapor locks. Whether the intake uses carbs or fuel injection, they all like to get their feed under pressure.

Welcome back, Ed! You have been missed.

Can we appreciate how this video STARTS with the Thumbnail? This channel is about to blow up.

Ed is a trooper 😂 that’s a real miner right there . Patience galore

Notification SQUAD!!!! But on a serious note, I found your channel back in the beginning of quarantine and it actually inspired me to not give up on my Jeep and finish building it out. Here's to hoping I can make the trip out there one day and catch you on the dunes! Just hopefully not because I have to get a tow....

Here's the best line from this one it's @10:30 or so..... "I wasn't even doing anything". Lol. Who hasn't said that right after tragedy? Lol

The air quality index has me trapped indoors and to pass the time got into binge watching Matt's recovery vids. Several times I commented they don't seem to air down far enough...well this last video told me why. I used to run 8" steel wheels and lost a driver front at about the same angle on the Ducy Ershim trail, now I run Birddog wheels, 10" wide that have a little bump on a wide bead land to help maintain the seal. Burped some air but have not lost a bead yet. That's not the reason I decided to reply to this video. I was watching the cold water being poured on a hot fuel rail, maybe stock fuel injectors, over the intake manifold and dripping onto the hot exhaust manifold, not that they are prone to cracking or anything, but, a problem I had on my 03 Rubicon straight 6. Remembering when it was new, that problem did not exist. 17 years and 70k miles later it would happen when I fired it up to drive it 20 feet, kill it to shut the gate, since it is a stick and the e-brake won't hold it on 5 degree incline with 35s. It was getting embarrassing. A friend of mine, (who has had his hot rod on the cover of HotRod magazine 2 times), mentioned I cannot have vapor lock at 40psi. Doesn't that make sence? After much research, I stumbled across K suspension. They have 12 hole injector upgrades with a lifetime warranty. Imagine that? They only use a very small percent of extra fuel, My stock one holers were rated at 247cc and the 12 hole are 249cc. I grilled these guys with emails and they responded every time, since I have a SoCA street legal jeep. There are claims of improved fuel economy and HP, but I can't tell, what I can tell is the heat sink issue, vapor lock thingy, no longer exists, and that was what I was looking to cure. To be fair, it could have been a combination of my stock coil rail, which was a waste spark system, meaning it sparked every rotation. My smog guy suggested new injectors and new coil rail, so I also did their OEM Viper ignition coil mod and wire retro fit, as the replacement OEM coil rails seem to last only a few years and are expensive. The only issue with the coil was the wire diagram was off, so don't do this upgrade on the side of the road, unless you are good at viewing diagrams in reverse and upside down. Maybe request the proper wire diagram after the order. Hope this tip helps you and I wear XL 8D

I’ve had my 1968 Z-28 Camaro since August 3, 1976 (44 years) , at the drag strip I would run 5-6 psi in 9” slicks, these were screwed to the Cragar rims with 5 screws in each bead. Found out 3-1/2 psi wasn’t enough- plenty of launch but when I unloaded the slicks at 115 mph, we were all over the track - almost lost it!! Rim locks a must, thx for the great vids.

Damn you! I was making progress on my bathroom remodel and someone texted me. After I checked that message, your "new" video notification popped up and I saw the picture of your truck in a f***ed up position. I had to find out what the hell happened. As a result, I ended up taking a 30+ minute break to watch that video, and then ANOTHER one of your videos. I don't even do off-roading in my Jeep or my truck but for some reason I have really enjoyed watching your recovery videos. I have always owned a Grand Cherokee for the past 20 years, I've gone through several of them, always buying used. I also have owned multiple other four-wheel drive pickup trucks. My Grand Cherokees have always been substantially better in poor road conditions and I have used my Grand Cherokees to pull much larger AWD SUVs & 4x4 trucks (Ford, Dodge, Chevy and Toyota) from snowy) out of muddy ditches and embankments. I just got rid of one of my Grand Cherokees that had over 340,000 miles on it and still ran just fine (not uncommon for the straight 6-cylinder engine in older Grand Cherokees) after a LOT if abuse. I'd love to be able to upgrade my existing Grand Cherokee (V-8) with some of the off-roading that yours has. Now damn it, I'm going to turn off my notification so I can get some work done here in the house. I look forward to watching you continuing to rescue the non Grand Cherokee owners out there. LOL

Before someone else comments, I own a Subaru Outback 2.0D 2015 myself , and while it easily gets stuck in sand here is a tip: Disable VDC (a button that looks like anti-skid), enable X-mode if you have it, and if you own a CVT put it in manual mode and select first "gear" (actually ratio). Subarus are not real offroaders , but if you do thing right they are surprisingly capable for what it is... a regular road car! :)

Entire reason you have Ed is for his advice and experience. Didn’t take it. Got stuck. Dude!

I’ve got 7 or so Jeeps with 4.0’s and do a lot of trail riding/rock crawling. Go ahead and add some insulation between the exhaust manifold and intake manifold. Someone sells a nice pre cut kit for around the injectors as well. You should also look into the Ford Explorer fan mod.

Subarus have two holes on R/L on the underside of the front end right in the frame for pulling i wanna say about 12in from the bumper. that tow hook though also goes directly to the frame so i dont see why u cant pull from their either. only difference is if u go under ur hooking right to the fram vs to a hook that screws in. Just FYI i see you pulling subarus a lot and always using the hooks. but you dont necessarily have to. i know it can be annoying having to get it every time.

It was doing worse than the big volvo on 22’s though, the Subaru was digging itself in it was becoming a scubaru. the volvo was kind of moving and got closer to getting turned around and out. If referring to “X-Mode” on certain model of Subaru then no, not for sand. X-Mode if fairly dim witted when I tested it I mean it can work I had it work but it’s “blind” is what I called it when I tested it. like constantly guessing until it lands on what works and alot of times what works isn’t even best option. I found more times then not turning X-Mode off and TC off and just going for it works better… well unless really in slick conditions then it start overriding you again from too much spin because the computer trying it’s damnest too save the CVT transmission. If you got a manual maybe and probably is different but most new buyers aren’t buying manual. If they could disable traction control on the volvo however which you absolutely can do on these models volvo. my experience with modern Volvos and off-road mode option with DSTC disabled or reduced is it surprisingly capable… like it will fight its way through. And the transmutation is a normal slush box auto so it can spin and slip way more than a CVT without getting damaged so less chance of it stopping you and over riding. It’s also less “blind” vs X-Mode it knows where the slip is occurring and focuses on trying to over come it. Turns it’s open digs into LSD diffs using its brakes and matching side to side speed and shuffling power around. the key is however turning off traction control so doesn’t cut power, if leave TC (DSTC) enabled its forced to give up after a few seconds when it kicks in to try to stop the wheels from freely spinning. That’s why the volvo was feeling itself but keep stopping was stupid TC getting in the way.

Yeah, that sand is really soft and really deep but the Crosstreks are very light and have as good of a chance as any other AWD out there. The problem is usually that the driver does not know what settings to use, like for instance you want to turn traction control off and VDC. Unless you have the deep sand or mud later evolution of Xmode you are better off NOT using it because it will just turn off anyway and will kill your momentum. But the main issue is that people of any car brand do not have the right type of tires (wheels) and/or do not know that just having the right tire is not enough, you must also air it down so that it can deform and float the sand. The crosstrek actually has a lot of advantage over its bigger brothers because the brake system is smaller, allowing for smaller wheels and taller bigger sidewall tires that REALLY HELP alot when aired down compared to wheels that are too large on tires that don't have enough sidewall to float sand well.

This video reminded me of "Flight of the Phoenix." Matt has to act more guilt ridden though like Jimmy Stewart.

Matt try using a hand sprayer when your jeep overheats, holds about a gallon of water

Even better hook up a line with a sprayer to the wiper pump, the washer fluid will cool better than water

I keep underestimating your skills. Driving and problem solving skills.

"I wasn't even doing anything" always confirms guilt Matt! 😄👍

That little cave is slightly better than "living in a van down by the river."

At least the van down by the river has access to cool water!

Ed where did you get that shirt? I sure like it and would love to find one! Matt, maybe you could add a replica of Ed`s shirt to your Winder towing gear and apparel and make a boatload off the sales! Love the new tires on the yellow bananna, but not the rims. Thank God for another save from from Rudy`s ripened brown bananna Cherokee!

Welcome Back Ed, it’s good to see you back fit and healthy. (Australia)

Finding these old videos because I have watched them all . Matt's fixed all the bugs on the Banana now

Looks like the beadlocks will be coming soon😂

Its an "Inclinometer", Matt. Or the dummies guide to a rollover.

I learned that the $69 12v harbor freight air compressor I always carry in my vehicle would be a good addition to the bananna. It is so useful I have bought one for everyone in my family as a gift and put an air gauge and a plug kit in the case with it when I gave it. Did the same thing a couple years back with a nice set of jumper cables.

Matt, you should have learned to carry an onboard air compressor, definitely worth it, I've had one on my LandRover for years, and like all my recovery gear only ever used it to help others out of trouble, but there will come a time... And my favourite Ed-ism... "Yeh, we'll get 'em out".
