Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
This video contains a paid advertisement
Whoever was running the drone for this recovery was making some epic moves and showing how beautiful the area is. Kudos!
Absolutely, Rhett or Colby on the drone, great imagination and skills, lovely to watch!
One of the many reasons I love the channel is the amazing scenery.
@@paulhall170 Rhett was driving, so my money is on Colby.
Colby for sure he was rocking the camera. And riding shotgun, everyone else was in fact driving. Maybe Katelynn since she was with Rhett in the banana.
ohhhh YEAH! Super video from above!
Congratulations Rhett for getting your braces off! Looking good 💯
The whole MORR crew growing up right before our eyes :)
Now they won't get tangled with Kaitlyns braces😂
My man is a stud, yo!
@@thelonewrangler1008 Katelynn 😇
@@thelonewrangler1008it can happen too a girl and guy I went to school with in the 90s got locked together
I really liked to see Rhett and Katelyn as a the young team. Awesome to see really competent young people working these jobs. Great job to all the MORR team!
I think they make a cute couple.
Being apprenticed to Matt and Tom that young, the next generation is going to be unstoppable.
@@drew1381 pretty sure they are family
Now THAT is what I call an off-road recovery! That was amazing! Great teamwork. Very impressed by Katelynn's knowledge of the trails and offroading.
Katelynn did a good job modulating the brakes on that Jeep so the wrecker boom didn't smash into the roof and back window of the Jeep. It was close a few times and it had me holding my breath, but she got it done! She's a great addition to the MOOR team!
Agreed. I still think they need some kind of strut they can use to keep the recovered vehicles from hitting the boom.
Mechanic shop probably going to say what the heck did you do to your front breakpads! 😂 Agreed she did a great job.
they have got the technique nailed after several of these backward tows. Matt's instructions are perfect
Doesn't hurt that the girl has ice flowing through her veins. She doesn't look the least bit distracted by fear.
She’s going to be a great addition to the team. My girlfriend learned how to ride motocross last year and now is giving all of us boys a schooling on technique because here’s is perfect girls pick up things quickly and for some reason remember the fundamentals no matter the situation
One of these days, Rhett is going to be Matt's boss - lol. Good to see Kaitlyn knows the area, she'll be a good fit. Most importantly, I wish Dig Dug had a camera facing Tom when that rear wheel went up in the air so high. 😂
He saw his life flash before his eyes! Lol that looked pretty close to flipping in camera
Katelynn 😇
Is this young lady becoming part of the team.Tom grooming her in welding.Matt having her do the driving in the recovery vehicle.. I remember when we had another young lady getting groomed..Miss you Lizzy, hope all is well with you and your family..Matt you and Tom make an excellent team and excellent teachers of your craft.Matts your son is proving to be quite a helper with the business...Matt your wife is also a definite asset to the team... God bless you and all on the recovery team...Thanks for bringing us on your recoveries...I really enjoy your videos....keep up the good work. PS. I really enjoy seeing the dog.Tell. Ed hi from all of us your fans
groomed? pretty creepy dude. maybe touch some grass.
The two kids (Rhett and Katelynn) sure have become valuable members of the team. Either one of them can out-wheel most adults, and they're both very comfortable and natural on camera. Matt has indeed assembled a fine team. 👍
Being apprenticed to Matt and Tom that young, the next generation is going to be unstoppable.
They are lucky to have people like Matt and Jamie and TomTom and the Morr crew
Peanut is a FANTASTIC spotter
Rhett with his brace's off. Toms beard shaved looking all fresh faced. And with Katelynn playing a big role in this recovery, it looks like you've got a fresh new MORR crew. 😎👍
Weird. But ok.
@@samjohnson9894refreshing
@@samjohnson9894 right? This channel definitely attracts some unbelievable simp comments.
Katelynn has good knowledge of some rated areas. Valuable info. I hope the public appreciates how lucky they are to have a resource like MORR. Great work.
Katelyn has so much more experience but is so quiet about it. Like how she’s fitting in.
Katelynn 😇
Humility is refreshing.
Her saying that obstacle was why the trail was a 7 made me laugh. She is the professional here even if matt has more experience 😂
Katelynn is settling in really well. It's nice to see these hard working and enthusiastic young ladies on KZhead.
I'm behind. Who is Kate and how did she find her way to MORR? I do like her.
@@shanegillespie6014katelynn is a professional rock crawler and is in the same town as matt
Peanut always seems excited to get out and race the vehicles lol
She’s herding them😎
The best dog
Doggo just gotta dog
Wow, can really hear the experience in Kaitlyns demeanor. What a great addition to the team and place for her knowledge to shine.
High-five Katelynn! Great recovery team.
Between Tom's driving and Rhett's spotting Digdug was an absolute unit!
Needs rock sliders is all IMHO
alright, Cleetus.
@@CM-xr9oq okay, banjo boy...
So they don't like negative comments,bye Matt's off road,rather watch FAB RATS
@@robertbaird4822 Bye
Amazed at the plethora of patience and precision being practiced on those precarious precipices. 😜
Pretty precise planning.
Positively pleasing!
Potentially pretentious pronouncements, possibly…
Play perspective provides pleasure. Participation practicing parking proves precise placement puts particular pressure poundage pinpointed partially parallel per peculiar precipice.
@@firstLast-gb9kr Pimpressive!
Rhett is a great and instinctive driver and spotter. He's so right that Katelynn's driving position looked scary. Good work everyone.
Pretty slick recovery on that one. The Wrecker definitely made it look easier than I'm sure it was. Rhett sure is turning into a top notch driver too.
A KZhead car project that actually works? That is also an off road wrecker?? MORR crew is definitely on another level. Huge respect for you guys.
Wait until the Wrecker Games, they are fun to watch.
The wrecker is getting worse with that annoying creaking and squeaking
@@joseywilds3133 Yeah.Also it's already starting to rust badly.They should have painted it after building it.
I think it's called "Patina'. Trailmater's wrecker just gets better with age 😊
I think calling the wrecker a "car" is a bit of an understatement 😂
Great Recovery by Matt and the Morr crew. Tom Tom and Rhett did some great spotting. Katelynn did a great job with the Jeep. The video aerial shot was the Bomb. 🤙😎
That wrecker is an awesome piece of gear! Unstoppable!
Great job Katelynn that was tough! I’m so glad they added you to the crew.
Is that the first time we have seen the Heavy Wrecker on the road with a plate? Katelynn did an awesome job in that jeep! Happy Veteran' s Day Everyone and Thank You all for your Service!
Katelynn 😇
The team work is a huge credit to you guys. Literally putting your lives in each others hands. So good to watch!
What a Wrecker test - it didn’t even flinch. That machine is a work of art.
The jeep being yellow looks like part of Matt's recovery team
LOL, I was just thinking that Matt was probably having some ideas
Matt's new half a banana 😂
@@angelalvarado9925 Or rotten banana ! 😆 🤣 😂
Katelynn is killing it as a driver for you folks. super cool to see her contributing like this.
The sincerity and genuineness of the people you have surrounded yourself with is pretty cool!
I love this crew! Rhett and Katelyn along with everyone else make for a great team. I wasn’t sure where this was going to go after so many personnel changes, but I love this team.
The trail, the editing and Katelynn’s expertise all made this job extra fun to watch.
That close to towed vehicle with the wrecker boom made this video more of a *tense viewing time.* Thanks for recording. The video coverage is extra good.
A ''stiff arm'' kind of tow bar on the bottom for deals like that wouldn't made it considerably easier to keep the vehicle being towed out of harms way.....but that has issues of it's own so, you do what you can with what ya got!
Jake and Colby really got a lot of leg day and cardio on this recovery. Way to go!
If they would just use the legs to take a hike.
The point was that he DID use his legs for a hell of a hike. Including jogging alongside the vehicles over very rough terrain. Can you do what he did?
@@dustymojave ever hear the expression "take a hike" it was sarcasm!
That wrecker sure is a squeeky creeky SOB. But it's AWESOME 😄👍 KUDOS to Katelyn for taking the risky position. ✌✊
The last three seconds of this video when Matt realizes he’s the only game in town for a professional recovery like this! It’s was awesome seeing Katelynn out on recoveries..she’s so much more at home on the rocks while still pretty intimidated in the shop, but she’ll get it. My man Rhett braceless , got to love getting rid of those barn things.
It's great that they can support this with the KZhead videos and the app subscriptions. Otherwise, recovery from some of these situations would be hideously expensive for the person who breaks down on the trail. The usual choice is to get a bunch of wheeling enthusiasts together to slowly work the victim out of the jam, but that can take days and often involves collateral damage. With Matt (and Paul and Rory in there respective territories) and others like him, there's a way to get out a lot quicker, and we get to watch.
@jonjohnson3027 I'd be willing to bet most of these people's insurance paid for it
@@kushkiller7108 standard auto insurance often excludes off-road driving. If they have an off-road rider 8t probably would cover them but I'd bet many of these people we see recovered don't have that.
@@kushkiller7108 some of those vehicles were rentals ! I wonder if the Rental companies has insurance for off road or away that the renters could get insurance coverage to do off road !
@kushkiller7108 You would lose the bet. insurance does Not pay for off-road
On the farm when we towed vehicles behind, we had a telescoping hitch with a spring inside of it. Still allowed movement but limited its range. Was called a tow bar. Round pipe of two sizes for the telescoping part through the middle where you pulled from.
This sounds like a much better plan than dragging the brakes the whole way and just hoping it doesn't smash something.
Matt is still working out the bugs on the wrecker ! If you have seen other videos he talks about that ! He has admitted that there is still more upgrades that it needs !
Katelynn is very knowledgeable on the trials!
That Caitlin is a real warrior on those trails and in all aspects of the jobs she is a trooper and a kreeper for the team✅✅👍👍🥰👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Wow, Rhett without braces and Tomtom without a beard. Looking good guys 👍
Katelynn is proving to be a fine addition to the crew!
The yellow Jeep is nice. All store-bought stuff but tasteful and clean.
After feeling the tension of the Jeep almost crashing into the boom more than once, I am going to share an old mechanics trick I know about when flat towing vehicles with little to no brakes. Some old mechanics would run their tow chains through a piece of sturdy pipe, which was then connected to the tow vehicle and to the disabled vehicle. The chain would droop normally without load. Once the chain was tensioned, the pipe would just hang in the middle. When the tow vehicle slowed down, the disabled vehicle would push the chain up and over the pipe but the edges would stop it, thus preventing the disabled vehicle from crashing into the tow vehicle. I could probably explain it with a drawing better if you are interested.
Katlyn is finally earning some cred. Colby did a little spotting on this one and he was sharp. TT did a fine job spotting himself but I had fears that he would need rescuing in the DigDog. But for once the Dog got TT up and out. Love it when Matt's plan comes together. The customer looked a little shocked by the back pull out of the whole. Even more shocked about Katlyn driving his rig backwards. That was a big real rescue.
Its dig Doug. Yeah even worse than you said
Katelynn 😇
@@quicksilver8180 DigDug isn't it? Like the video game? That's what I always think of but I am of a certain age...
Katlyn has more rock crawling cred than the rest of the MORR team combined. She's an actual competitive rock crawler, and a champion one at that. "cred", lol. I'm glad she finally earned your appreciation, I'm sure she was hanging on your opinion specifically. We can all sleep safe now.
@@MattsAwesomeStuff Katelynn 😇
Katelynn is a really great driver 👍
Nicely done Matt and crew.
Great recovery guys.....everyone did their part well....great cam shots.....I miss Lizzy !!😢
Beautiful drone footage on this one guys. Always good, but this one really shows the landscape
That wrecker never ceases to amaze me. What a beast!
Without a sling it is just a crane, not a wrecker. Not sure why it doesn't have one.
What a great recovery. And the scenery is just stunning.
I think dig dug should be the next shop build. You guys use it it enough and it would be so cool to see it get built. Great video and keep up the awesome work.
Katelynn driving backwards for the win.👍
Blindfolded on the next run.
Great rescue, a couple of things stood out for me, the 1st one is if Dig Dug is gonna be used on recoveries, let's get it in the shop & equip it, it needs a front axel and some love. The 2nd thing I really enjoyed seeing was how good Rhett has been getting and on the way back out, he knew when to send the Banana up that ledge, and didn't even give it a second though. I also appreciated how " the whole team was spotting, Even Cody ! when the tow line was getting short on the winch, great job shouting dude !. It's not easy making things look easy , Kaitlyn was rock steady taking care of the customer's Jeep. Just a great example of why we love you guys ! ❤🚙 edited -names ;)
You should have a push bar connecting the cars. No need to worry going downhill. You could also make it from a big shock absorber to make it less jerky.
Kaitlin's doing a really good job of being a down to earth KZhead personality. It took me a few episodes, but her driving experience, bright questions, and in this case great answers, because she knows the trails and the obstacles. That and her competition background, what everyone likes about her; she's totally fearless behind the wheel!
Great video. Loved the drone shots. Was that Colby or Jake at the controls? Katelynn continues to shine, Rhett is getting more competent by the day, Tom Tom seems like the nicest guy, and Matt is a great leader and overall great guy. A new MORR video is one of the highlights of my mornings. Thanks MORR!
Well expressed, my thoughts as well.
oh! and as for the replacing Lizzy question.... this woman is crazy! i bet she's the 1st to roll over any of "Matt's Recuvery" vehicles!, and she will scream in pleasure at the same time! we all await that video!
Katelynn did an Awesome job, Lizzy would've been proud. You can tell she's comfortable out wheeling & she's also getting more relaxed on camera.... great addition to the team.
It is great to see adults patient enough to teach and younger people willing to learn practical (and occasionally ingenious) solutions for such varied situations. Watching Matt plan for what most people wouldn't expect (that roof getting bashed by the boom on every decline) is the sign of a man that has made mistakes, but learned from them. Also, that big F'ing wrecker is an absolute iconic beast.
Tom looks like a new man.
What a great team Matt. Katelynn, you did amazing regulating the brakes and keeping that top from getting damaged. Again, well done team
Stuck at home getting over the flu. Came upon your videos and I'm hooked! Can't stop watching them. Great job and reminds me I got to get out into the desert soon. thanks for the entertainment. Great job and best of luck
What an absolute weapon of a machine the Wrecker is
I think a couple of adjustable length bars with semi soft attachments on one end and on the other end, solid rings for the pintle hooks on the back of the wrecker. It could work to keep the tow vehicle at a more consistent distance from the wrecker while allowing the freedom to move around and not bind up.
Absolutely another text book rescue by the MORR crew. Way to go guys and gals.
That wrecker is a BEAST! Great job on building it. May be the best thing you ever did!
Hi MORR Team, I recommend that you add a tire (no wheel) while pulling with the wrecker. You should route the winch cables that come out of the boom/arm through a 15” tire. The tire will work as a bumper. This my dad’s and uncle’s old pulling trick. Thanks for sharing and best of luck🤞
Katelynn, a lot of firsts with the MORR crew. Enjoy the journey! That was a close one for Dig Dug 😮🫣
Totally impressive recovery, looked like routine. Favorite moment was Rhett giving it the perfect gas to get up that ledge, and that dad gum ol' dig dug got er done, too.
It was stressful just watching this - I can’t imagine actually doing it! Huge respect to you and your crew.
Rhett and Katelyn on these jobs makes me happy, the business is in safe hands in the future! love this
Being apprenticed to Matt and Tom that young, the next generation is going to be unstoppable.
I really wanna see you guys do more with dig dug! It deserves some more screen time, the truck is awesome!
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 Rhett is doing awesome. His on camera presence is getting so much better.. looks very comfortable now.. hats 🎩 off buddy
I know you like to do the most with the least, but a couple of out-riggers to keep a towed vehicle from bumping into the boom would make life a bunch easier. Heck, build them with springs and shocks to make it interesting!
That wrecker is so awesome. But how has Tom not made you put grease fittings on all those joints yet?!
Great recovery!! That was a tricky trail for a backwards tow. You and the crew did a fine job!!!
Awesome job you all and Katelynn your a real trooper now you can say you have done plan B backwards and backwards . And I can see Dig Dug becoming the next famous off road recovery Square body as it gets improvements .
When you do it backwards you dont need plan b… 😂
@@cakearmy_maxgaming6346 That is the Name of that trail Plan B !
Those kids are growing up
Great video all throughout. Am i the only one that things that Rhett and Katelynn could make a great couple. With both of their skill sets combined they could be unstoppable in the off road world!!
Nice recovery. It's good to know someone with your skill level is close by if I ever get stuck. hope I never need to call you though.
Rhett...Braces off...haircut and riding with Katelynn. ✔️
Lady killer!
Facts bro need to start spittin game
One hand on the Steering wheel and all.
We shall see if they make a connection.
Y'all creepy
Need to carry a gallon of transmission fluid on the WLOR Wrecker. Nickname "Squeaky." A tough recovery but it really went well. You got 'em out!
You should get a couple piece's of schedule 80 PVC plumbing pipe to put over your X towing straps with just the loops sticking out, that way it would be semi rigid and keep the tow from smashing into the wrecker. But would be flexible enough to allow the Jeep to flex around over the rough terrain. I'm sure that would save you a lot of head aches.
Even when working, you Americans know how to have fun. Please keep up the filming Matt, it's so great to watch.Thank's crew too.
Another great job in this beautiful landscape! Greetings from Germany!
For these instances have you ever thought about making a bar that you can use in your pintle hitch to the vehicle receiver that would help with the issue of the vehicle slamming into the boom?
Great job everybody on this rescue. MORR team for the win!!!!!
Team MORR has never been better, Caitlin is an excellent addition...what a driver! On to the mini wrecker
Nice job MORR crew! Katelynn seems to be fitting right in! No doubt her wheeling skills and knowledge of Sand Hollow trails are a huge asset for the recovery team!
That was a "good old days" recovery right there. Enjoyed it!
Katelynn - you are a star and a natural on the recoveries!! You must be an old soul, with how calm and confident you are when doing your thing :)
Great video! Great teamwork! Always good seeing the MORR crew!
Wow! I have never been anywhere near the canyons and rocks you guts drive over. But I can tell you I'm extremely impressed by the heavy wreckers climbing abilities. Especially dragging a broken rig behind it.
Matt why don't you design a bar that attaches to the rear bumper and straps to the axle of the vehicle that is being towed. this bar would maintain the distance between the towed car and the wrecker. no worries that the towed car might swing into the boom or the wrecker bumper. Just a suggestion.
Folks would probably line up to buy one of those too.
Continuously impressive!! Very nice. The patience and care taken was inspiring.
That is the nicest LJ I’ve seen! Thats the only Wrangler I would ever want to own.
It's incredible some of these recoveries are truly amazing . Happy trails
Matt, get yourself a appropriate length of pipe or tubing and either attack a chain on each end or thread your chain threw the pipe then attach at each end to where the pipe hangs just low enough on your towed vehicle to stop it from catching up to the wrecker as you tow. Finish the ends of the pipe/chain as you think fit.
I'm shocked how many of these recoveries they do without attending to this glaring concern
Matt, have you considered a "tow bar" type setup to latch in where the D-Rings are on the back of the wrecker and bolt into the towed vehicles trailer hitch? You would still do the lifting with the boom and winch, but the tow bar would keep the tow from surging forward and running into the back of the wrecker. The Holmes 440 that I ran ages ago had a sling and straps arrangement that had an A brace that kept the tow from surging forward. I don't know that a sling makes sense with lots of aftermarket bumpers to cut them, but the brace would seem to.
Great recovery from the MORR Crew. I would say its time dig dug received some much needed love ASAP. I think Tom should paint it an obnoxious bright Red😊😊. It would go perfect with the bright yellow vehicles.
