I was watching your video, and when you reached the Hyundai, you said that there was nothing to hook up to. The front bumper has a small square opening. Pop that cover and take the tow hook out of the trunk of the Hyundai and thread it in to the nut inside and hook your winch up to that.

For future reference there is a tow hook that screws into the front bumper it’s a little cover it pops out and the tow hook is in where the spare tire is so you always have a something to hook to on the front of Hyundai @Matt’s OffRoad Recovery

Maybe that car shouldn't have been out there, but they were a heck of a lot better prepared than most of the people you pull out. AWD, chains, traction boards, spare gas, plenty of food/water, and once you got it out of the high-center it looked like it handled the vast majority of that road pretty darn well. Another couple inches of clearance and they would likely have been in good shape all the way through.

Matt, a helpful hint as far as the mud on your clothes: buy yourselves a few cases of tyvek jump suits to keep on hand. Harbor Freight has them or any home improvement store that sells painting supplies. They usually cost from $9 to $15 apiece. You wear them over your clothes when working in the mud, then they easily tear off and you throw them away. We use them at work all of the time. You'll thank me later! As far as winching eating alternators, yes they do. I have double batteries on my truck to store up the extra power capacity needed and they make it a lot easier on the alternator. Plus it makes it much harder to get stranded due to depending upon one single battery. Also, investing in a satellite phone for when you are too far out to have cell phone coverage might be a good idea? Thanks for your entertaining videos. Much better than watching anything on TV!

I'm an Australian who bought a $700 Subaru and drove it 5500miles around America. We delaminated a tyre between Williams and Flagstaff. I thought 'No, problem, I was smart and checked that we had a spare', went to change it, wrong bloody stud pattern. My mate asked what are we going to do and I said 'I took the wheel off, you have first shift carrying it. I knew in the back of my head the walk wouldn't be long but we didn't even walk 100yards before this lovely couple in their 60's pulled over in a big gorgeous F-350. They had just come from Flagstaff and could see the gate to their ranch, but they turned around and took us into Flagstaff. They did make sure to let us know they had a handgun, but that would not happen here in Oz, and if it did, you would of walked way more than 100yards.

I spent 20 years in the U.S. Army with 6 deployments. Having experienced that I feel like I have a fairly decent understanding of quality of character in a person (at least from my perspective, whatever that's worth). You guys all set an amazing example to your fans on how to never give up, to think your way through obstacles, and accomplish what you set out to do, even when things get difficult.

I've a occasional need for body-on-chassis 4WD car but there's so much tarmac in between the places I need to get to so I use an AWD car. Not to mention the fuel consumption difference. And I rarely fall short on my adventures. I do miss a diff locker though and it's not easy getting one for my model. No low-range either. But it gets the job done.

Jamie here’s a short story that should make the muddy clothes seem not so bad. My friend was an egg farmer and one day while setting up the tractor to pump out the liquid waste tank he fell in. First off, he was very lucky that he didn’t die as there is little oxygen in the air directly above the liquid and he was lucky enough to to be able to pull himself out. He took off all his clothes outside before he came in to shower which was beside the house entrance, but the reek! Chicken and turkey waste smells are the worst. The smell stayed with him for several weeks as the “scent of a farmer” in the house did. The clothes dried and burnt. Matt have you found a 140 amp alternator? My crane truck used to eat alternators for breakfast, come to think of it, I may have one left over from my working days, if I do I would be happy to ship to an address.

6:25 We don't deserve these amazing people. This channel makes me smile waaaay too much and I love it!

Jamie (sp?) is seriously amazing! You take her out on a marathon recovery and at the end of the day she looks as fresh as a flower. You should probably keep her!

This is probably my favorite video!! I love all the footage of the terrible roads and the slidy fun, please show more of the driving out if it's bad like this, it's really entertaining!!

I liked your help to people, and I liked your maintaining the integrity of the vehicle and its purposes, and I liked your keeping the sign on the road intact, these are really noble manners.

Back in the early 2000's, I used to take my 1990 Sonata out on the dirt roads and hunting trails. Thing was a champ as long as I kept it on the high side of the ruts. In the end, I picked the wrong side and slid down into the ruts on a side road just short of a field that met back up with the main dirt road in the middle of winter, with about a foot of hard packed icy snow. It took us all night with the 4 of us using dead trees to try and lever and work the car out, we got maybe 35 feet back the 300ft side trail, before we burned off all the coolant and cooked the alternator. We hiked back into town in the morning and bought a new battery, and called a friend of one of my friends that was with me that had a big lifted 4x4 to come help us out, walked the battery back and waited for the truck to come meet us, and the guy couldn't even get as far down the trail with his 40 something inch tires because he couldn't get it locked into 4-wheel drive. In the end, me and one of my friends that were still with the car were still trying to use a log to help lever the car under the front bumper while trying to work out of one of the many holes we kept digging trying to get out(front wheel drive car), I'd had it rocked forward towards the top of the hole, while my buddy reset for the next push, and being tired and exhausted I slightly let off the brake and it started to roll back into the hole and I instantly just thought feck it, and gunned it in reverse and that SOB that didn't want to cooperate all night with 3 guys pushing it, pulled itself out without a single finger or tool touching it the whole rest of the way out backwards to the main road. We drove it back to town and called for a tow truck because we didn't know how much life the batter still had left without the alternator functioning.....

Great recovery and gray driving skills to you and your son and wife! I don’t know why anyone would take a vehicle like that way out there in the middle of nowhere but to each their own! Amazing. They made it as far as they did. Great video though keep up the great work.👍🏼🤩❤️

For those that are unfamiliar with the term, a borrow pit is one that typically happens on a construction site. An excavator digs a hole to get top soil, then fills the hole with old bricks, broken concrete and the like, than covers the hole with the top soil. This is probably what Matt wished he could do with all that mud.

To build a crowned road with drainage on each side, graders run down each side at an angle, borrowing dirt from the ditch to make the roadway. Originally called a "borrow ditch", at least here in Texas it usually gets called a "bar ditch" because we lazily lost a syllable.
