Matt's Off Road Recovery... This anyone's truck here?

These guys are great.

 

Old video.

 

Matts channel is good entertainment!

 

I stumbled across Matt'sOffroadRecovery channel a couple of months ago. Really good content. Matt's such a good down to earth person. You can really tell he cares about his family and his customers. I'm looking forward to seeing Ed's Suzuki restored by FabRats.

I'm planning to get stuck at sand hollows this thanksgiving week! catch me on his next video!

 

I almost had a reason to call him a month ago when I broke a Spindle on my VW Thing on the Fremont Trail outside of Bryce Cyn. I ended-up calling a local tow company which got me out (it wasn’t easy and would have made for a great video!) In my case we had an early winter storm moving in so time was of the essence and Matt’s based ~2 hours from where I was. Even using a local company my recovery took nearly six hours!

I do enjoy Matt’s video’s. May have to order a T shirt from him.

 

Love their videos, bought a shirt form their website and try to wear it when I go meander though the mountains trails as a good luck charm

 

Big fan of Matt’s channel. It’s one of the few channels that is appealing to both me and my kids and I don’t need to worry about the content being inappropriate.

 

There’s a 17 page thread about Matt’s Off-road Recovery in the Recovery forum:

My 7 year old loves watching MOR and Chris Fix, both channels I don't need to worry about!

 

That's crazy! Glad they made it out ok.

 

i'm just concerned about parasites with all that mouse poop. hope they don't get sick. they didn't even wear a mask

 

I just got myself a MOR hat for my birthday. I thoroughly enjoy this dude's content. He seems like such a knowledgeable but humble dude.

Probably my favorite "Wow, Matt is an awesome guy" moment (and also happens to be on a Taco!) was when the customer recommended a cardboard wheel spacer as a trail fix to get her truck back to the road where a flatbed was waiting. Immediately when I heard the customer suggest this I thought "omg, how stupid can you be.. cardboard??" What does Matt do? Listens without reacting, thinks it over, and then proceeds to start cutting up a stack of business cards to mickey mouse a cardboard wheel spacer and get the truck rolling! Really made me admire the dude more than I already did... doesn't have to be smartest guy (or gal in this case? ) in the room.

 

Curious what a recovery like that would cost?

 

That is the big question I am always left wondering about with some of these recoveries! I stumbled on the series a few months back and have literally binge-watched nearly ALL of them.

The recent one they did where they showed the results of their asking viewers to pitch in for the shelter. Matt literally dumps a hefty bag of cash, some $20k, onto the table in front of the shelter volunteers. They've got some serious pull!

 

Almost a million views per video or more and a ton of subscribers on YouTube is likely to bring in some cheddar.

 

I love his channel? what is the truck he's using now? It was always old Jeep Cherokees.

He's said he'd like to use Tacomas but for the price of 1 tacoma, he could have 3 jeeps.

 

The running start, slingshot rescues are nuts.

Also crazy when they need to hook up 2 tow vehicles to pull one.

I think he also mentioned something about the IFS on the trucks being an issue. I don't recall the video, but it was one of the ones where he had the banana going over some door-high rocks lol
