Wow, that guy is better at backing up than more people are driving forward!
A similar thing happened to me. These wet planted pine forests were once cypress forests. I got hung up an an ancient cypress stump. we did not know it and pulled it with everything we had but it would not budge. We dug all around and found the stump, jacked up the truck and cut some of it out with a chainsaw. The saw was half in the water and it kept dying. We would dry it out and cut some more. After 2 days of digging and cutting we were finally able to pull it out.
What a. Idiot !
Funny. I can recover just about anything with a 30 foot stretch recovery strap, been using them for 20 years. That's a 5 minute job.
@@oneslave3318 I see, in other words your experience voids his experience. So when the ancient cypress stump sees you coming it submerges itself deeper in the mud releasing the stuck truck out of respect for you and your 30 foot recovery strap. It must be AWESOME being you. Do you have a cape like Superman? Art from Ohio
You got yourself one special lady. I dont think Im tough enough to trample through mud and water day in and day out. I also like you alls low key approach to the videos. You dont try to seem like a youtube star and imho that is what makes you one! Humility is key. You should have 1M followers.
not tough enough to go stomp around outside and play all day? uhh. alright.
That Gladiator has pulled a lot of heavy rigs. Lots of stress on the frame, axles, transfer case, and driveshafts. I’m impressed with how well it’s holding up.
Helps that almost none of that is stock
@offroadrecoveryFL would be interested to see mods list just out of curiosity
We've got a 2020 gladiator Rubicon, it's been very impressive in all aspects including recovery. Pull a few buried full size trucks out when nobody thought it could or would!
@@GhostStig85 ours started out as a stock 20 rubicon
Take a spare tire put it underneath the winch line closest to the vehicle that is stuck then begin winching The tire will help pick up the vehicle up out of the mud and towards you and the tire will roll all of the same time
I hit a stump once. Got free gas for life. Darn thing bent the fuel tank and the gauge always read full after that.
Well isn't that nice 🤣
Made me literally laugh out loud. Thanks.
😂😂
So I guess you just unlocked the unlimited fuel system cheat for your beautiful ride, congratulations!!
Without finishing the video, I believe the shaft from the transfer case broke and dropped down, digging in, in order to slide his truck!
I like this channel no corny jeep vs message. Its just vehicles getting stuck and getting help
I'd charge $ 500 per pull , why? What if I get stuck pulling an idiot out? I'd have to call to get my ass out also ...
Can't get enough of these videos! Keep them coming and may 2024 be even better than 23 for you and your's and the business!
Can u do a vid about what all mods done to your jeep please bad ass good job
Nine minutes into posting there’s 200 and something views and when I’m done watching the video there’s over 700. Job well done
Now almost 6k in an hour.
35k 3 hours now
And 65 in 4 hrs
Now 75k
Because it’s cool shit!!
Just started watching this channel they do a great job but I I'm amazed at these guys going out on trails like that without proper recovery gear been playing in Florida since 79 winches and mud tires along with a good recovery rope are required equipment
The learning curve of Floridians is measured in Light Years.
curious as to what he would have winched to had he had one?🤔
Rapco strap around 2 or 3 of those small pines it's amazing how much holding power of the root system has and hook the winch to the strap or if you have the money and the way I prefer I get my pull pal out and use it again be properly prepared
@@stevenkennedy3300 might have worked did not think the root system on those small trees would amount to much especially with the water saturated ground.
How about a 4WD instead of a 2WD truck.
That Jeep does really well for its size and equipment. I would suggest a removable A frame for the front and/or back bumper, if possible to brace it, with a snatch block at the apex, about hood high, or higher. Also, having a 40 inch, or so, tractor rim to put under the cable, close to the vehicle being pulled out, so as to lift it some would help. This truck was hung up on an old tree root, or rock, or something foreign buried in the mud. Nice job.
That Jeep is a well provisioned rig.
More throttle early whenever things get sticky keeps you out of trouble!
I was damn near yelling at my phone for him to speed up i knew he was going to get stuck again moving that slow🤦🏻♂️😂
I just found your videos love this one 😅 going to watch more of your special friends God bless you and your family
I seen your gladiator on the highway. I wondered if you would be on KZhead, a little search and I found you guys, love the mud!
lol that power steering pump is like “whyyy!?” 😂
It's a Ford, should have left it in there...lol Is that an 8 cylinder in your Gladiator? Doesn't sound like a V6, unless you have a killer exhaust system on there. Sounds really good!
You'll be able to retire soon here in Florida lol💰This happens like clock work and allot of people who get stuck either cant get to the vehicle or dont have anyone to help this is great service and entertaining especially knowing the environment 😅. You would've saved me a lifetime of trouble back when i was younger and got my truck stuck weekly😂. We still ride atv, sxs and I've had to get creative with some of our shenanigans or have to get something ridiculous like a loader to pull a atv out. Sometimes a winch and gear just dont work thats my luck🤷 Guarantee we will meet added your # lol keep up with the content its awesome!👍💵🇺🇲
Nice scenery 👌 😊
this been good for my rig i keep a rear wench and a land anchor handy
Dad did a good job following your jeep backwards. Most people have no clue how to help the pulling vehicle with the front wheels of the following vehicle.
I bet that f150's transfer case is in pieces inside.
Or the stump knocked the lever off its mount.
Me to didn't sound good at all
Thats exactly what i heard too.
What stump, I didn't see a stump, did you see a stump?
@@user-fo4ve5fo4z I didn't see a stump, why's the floor mat sticking up......
That's a bad ass recovery vehicle can't wait to see more videos
I'm not sure if this would help make yourself metal chocked blocks, but add a slot for a piece of thick rebar around 3 foot hammer in the ground kept me from sliding.
I was wondering if the front drive shaft had broke and was digging at first lol
Would be what that jump was. finally let go
honestly before he reversed and started pulling that way that's exactly what i thought it might be especially since he started the video saying the 4 wheel drive was broken
I like trucks fun & adventure. I've never seen any fun or adventure in avoiding getting stuck...
If the good old boy wants to play in that mud! Invest in a front locker and a good winch. Great to see you got help. God Bless
Best "Florida Man" channel ever.
That F150 has a nice setup, looks clean too.
runs about as good as it looks --- keep jeep handy
Yeah it's a real beauty...PFT!
@@wyoodrifter1811 Wow his 4wd went out, cause you know, Jeeps never have issues 🙄
How do you change for recovery’s, by the hour and how much? Thanks!!!
That jeep got that dawg in it!! Would love to have it
*EDIT* (I was only seeing the first part of the winching when they first hooked up as I typed my comment. I see they ended up using the 2 to 1 (snatch block setup) that I suggested in my comments after watching more of the video.) * Hey man, I would suggest you get yourself a snatch block and use it to multiply your pulling power when pulling out vehicles in these types of situatuions. This essentially doubles your winch's pulling capacity. Although it requires longer winch line or using somethIng else to attach to the winch line, it would help a lot. Also, you should put a blanket or winch cable cover or "winch damper" over your winch cable to try to prevent or at least minimize the possibility of your winch cable snapping back at you and knocking you out or killing you. I can see it wasn't "that stuck" so maybe you weren't putting that much stress on your winch but better to be safe than sorry when things are stuck in the mud. Sometimes they are "sucked" into the mud so you need that extra pulling power.
Ole Ford just didn't want to hook up no traction at all 4 wheel drive comes in handy when it's not broken 😮😊😊😊
Stumped you say Hung on a stump I say
Love all the videos and knowledge. Is that the 3.6L or 392 under the hood? Blessings
3.6L
You'd hear it if it was a 392 🙂
Hey Matt !!! Haven't seen the ""BRONCO "" ???? Where's it at ?? Would have liked to see it p/u that ""FORD"" !!! HAHA 🤔🙄 Hope ALL is well with getting your house back up this year !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
It’s just so much easier driving the jeep vs trailering the bronco This job was about 110 miles from us one way
Don't forget VW Amarok 2.0 BiTDI 4MOTION auto are also good in mud. Only dis engage traction control. Back have manual difflock, front EDL ( Electronic Diff lock in conjunction with ABS).
Subbed! Good work!
Came out once the front axle unlocked.
Looks like the transfer box has broken up inside or a drive shaft has snapped
O boy in the jeep is a little camera shy maybe? LOL. Great job
In Carolina this typ of forest is called pocisson , we have it in national forest like Hoffman and Croitan .
Great rescue, I struggle to hear what's being said on my laptop, I'm sure I'm not alone in that.
Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That was fun!
If you don’t get the title, he bottomed out on a rogue stump
I was wondering how long it would take for the Scotch blocks to come out. 👍🏼
Up north we’re waiting for some frost in the ground . Just mud season now
Looks so fun to a city boy!
Yeah you'd be surprised how strong that root system is you might have to tie like I said two or three maybe four of them together but it'll get you out I dig stumps out of the ground for a living with my Bobcat I have a special bucket for it you would be surprised how deep a Taproot is on those pine trees
Yeah, I agree. When I was in the tractor service business, the longest one I removed was a 9-foot-long tap root from a Slash Pine.
Had to finish breaking that transfer case before it would move?
I want this job! Awesome
Got mine stuck like that one time, took two big wreckers to pull it out
Rumor is that griffis boy still hankering around out there pun intended.
Im new to the area. Glad I know who to call if I get my Passat stuck in a pothole. 😅
If the front or rear isn't turning a tire the drive shaft could be shoved in the ground and preventing it from moving
To me, that sounded like something in the drive train was bound up! Sure, the rear was in reverse, but possibly the front end was locked up? When it broke loose, it was definitely a mechanical sound unbinding. IMO
I've taken my 97 2x4 with some snow tires through some pretty gnarly stuff. I'm surprised to see that truck with mud tires get stuck so easily
The front tires never spun on the f150. No four wheel drive!
Looked like some drive train failure/damage given how it seemed to "jump" a couple of times early in the winch operation.
Yeah. Zero 4WD. If it's not broken he's a nut for taking a 2WD truck out there.
I know it didn't have 4x4, said that in the video.
about 20 seconds in he describes what the rescue they were going to and said he broke the 4 wheel drive
Take a spare tire put it underneath the winch line closest to the vehicle that is stuck then begin winching The tire will help pick up the vehicle up out of the mud and towards you and the tire will roll all of the same time should help with dragging you around too
Why the heck does anyone think it's fun to drive in the SWAMP? What a mess and so unrewarding in my opinion. However silly it seems, It's bread and butter for Florida off road. Well Done.
I've done crazy mountain and snow things in my Wranglers but will never do Florida mud.
And unless you want to pay a pressure washing company, it's not fun to clean off either.. so you can fix what you broke trying to get it out. Lol
Nice seeing a daylight recovery. What was he stuck on? Stump? Mechanical issues? Great channel, great technical knowledge and ability. A bit more narration would make it more personable and informative. Now I see why you run such large mud tyres! Greetings from Australia! 👍
That sounded like a surprise stump.
his tires is what getting him stuck plus its a Ford
@alanlangley7246 congratulations on having no clue why his truck isn't good in mud. It had nothing to do with those tires or the brand of truck you goober. It had everything to do with weight and lockers.
@@franksmith8210 yea i saw that goober when he try to turn around and thos tires were spinning on top of the grass🤣 goober my tires would have dug a hole GOOBER🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@franksmith8210 btw that truck didnt have lockers if it did it was broke i didnt see your ford pulling all 4 tires 2 tires were spining GOOBER
Best job ever
It sucks when your 4x4 broke and you’re out in the mud. Always have recovery gears with you like traction board with you. That’s what we do when we go overland.
We need a truck tour
That’s pretty awesome how that ford in reverse could push that Jeep out of the swamp. Just goes to show you that you can’t beat a Ford and a stiff rope!
In 2 wheel drive no less! Lol
😂
That's some good shit there Gary
This is probably a good time to use wheel chucks and traction board.
No trees big enough on that trail!! :)
@@MikeBaxterABC why do you need a big tree for wheel chucks and traction board? He did bring out the wheel chucks but didn't have traction boards. Chuck the wheels of the rescue vehicle. Then traction board the vehicle that needs rescuing.
Got stuck only once got a Ford bronco stuck halfway up the doors in mud walked home got our international 4x4 truck on super swamper tires back up to the bronco and ended up sinking the international halfway up the doors in mud also felt around got them hooked together with chains got in the international and it pulled both itself and the bronco out no problem and the bronco got stuck in park.
With a muffler like that I'm surprised he got stuck.
🤡
🤣😂🤣
I'm a little curious how come you stayed in the muddy ruts to pull where it's the slipperiest
The weather seems to have brought you a lot of business
I got stuck on a well once, you could spin all four tires with your hands, was in about 3 foot of water. Took a four wheel drive farming tractor to get me off it and out.
Is the off the trail like super swampy? Just curious why you didnt turn the truck around
Water and mud cause suction under the tires. A slow winch from a heavy vehicle is the trick. Recommend 1.5x heavyer then the stuck vehical. Or find an anchor.
Y’all boys need to get y’all a mid 70s K 30 single wheel 1 ton 4x4 4spd Chevy on 35s if y’all gonna do that type of playing..
Bringing back memories...vehicles that should have never been where they tried to go
Get two wheels on the center of the track and two off to the side on the “dry” ground.
hi matt. capt frank here. just curious, do u air down any in these mud recoveries? if so, how much. thanks. hope to see u out at hurenaught sometime.
We don’t We usually only air down on days we are gonna spend on the beach and air down to 10-15
I am new to this so genuine question: any reason you chose to try winch before kinetic pull? I thought a kinetic pull is good for stuck in the mud?
Constant pressure. less damage.
@@HJZ75driver got it - so if the winch fails due to suction or whatever then go to kinetic pull as next option? Cheers
@@AdamHillikerLikesRobots Always have a back up. And the winch won’t fail due to suction. Just double it up again
@@HJZ75driver makes sense - appreciate it! Need snatch blocks.
That aint my neck of the woods here in Tucso. Id be stuck in a heart beat. You ever heard of boats. We got lots of them out here.
Sounds like to me the front drive shaft or cv axle was broken holding the truck in place and making the popping noise when it was getting towed out.
You never know its limits if you never test them. Im sure thats one proud father.
DERN. !!!. ANOTHER ONE OF MY IDEAS I THOUHGT OF MANY YEAR'S AGO. I CALLED IT ANCHOR CHOCK. WELL I'M HAPPY IT WORKED. LIKE OTHER'S THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO REALITY. RECKON THE REST WILL DIE WITH ME. JOB WELL DONE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HAD IT SO HUNG UP.
Stump
When all Hope was lost, from the wilderness emerges Florida Off Road Recovery. I shall hereby bestow the name Hope Bringer to you for you bring Hope to the desperate
Y’all need a Drone I’m from that area and I can’t imagine doing this without one wow
We have one Just hard to recover and fly a drone at the same time
I had a nice boat like this 😂
That’s like central Florida woods after rain
Those are some deep ruts
Looking like a fire break trail
Nice
Just another day in the Walmart parking lot with the boys and there toys
So was it suctioned in by the front tires or was there an actual tree stump lodged against the (front or rear) axle?? (kinda figured the latter because of the title of the video 😁)
We assume a stump on the front axle
@@OffRoadRecoveryLLC That makes sense the way it let go...suction would've let go different in my experience. Great setup on your recovery rig BTW! Just found your channel today, I dig it(pun intended 😁). I haven't wheeled too hard or much since I got out of the military in 2011. The itch is coming back around though...got some projects I am gonna tackle this summer(I'm in Alaska and it is to dang cold right now). I'm subscribed now, thanks for the reply!👍
What motor do you have in this Jeep, I can tell you have an extra large alternator to run winches. Also what tires and wheels are on it?
Matt's running a stock v6 gas, and 40" Mickey Thompson Baja Pros xs tires.
The alternator has a winch mode, which runs the engine at higher RPMs for more winching power.
What rear bumper are you running there? Like the set up
Fab fours
It would really help if the four wheel drive worked in the ford that is stuck!
Now I see the problem! That gator tag!
we get stuck in the mountains... swamp is worse... snakes/gators? oh my. how did that rig break?
I saw the Jeep heading down Blanding Boulevard and the only thing I can say is stop by Harbor freight pick up a 2 gallon sprayer and put some soapy water in it and clean your logo off on the doors when you're out of the woods
Keep pretty stays dirty 24/7 we washed it and put it right back to work
Sounds like the differential pinion was stuck?
