Matt: "It's like someone took this apart and put this back together in a really big hurry"
Customer: (stares at ground)
it was his doing lol
Customer goes “hm🧐”
Customer was like....oh you figured that out eh. I figured since I know nothing about building off road vehicles and I have no money to spend, it should be ok right. Buy a POS, slap some stickers on it and start YT my adventures. I hope MORR charged him for the recovery. He needs to learn that just because can do something doesn't mean you should do something.
@@chadjmoore hey I grew up with zero mechanical knowledge from my dad and not a lot of money. I'm so thankful for people that helped me out for along the way. Now that I'm in my 40s I try to do the same
We all have our moments. I may have done that a time or two myself.
That welded tie rod is now the strongest part of that vehicle.
11% stronger.
I think the strongest thing is the air in the tires 😂
and a year from now or sooner when he needs a rescue bet ya that repaired TR is still in place, not even a junk yard replacement.
lol 😂
This rescue makes me appreciate my dad. He was an old-time mechanic and every old car/truck I drug home he was excited as I was to get them up and running and making sure the things that mattered worked and were safe. He's been gone almost 25 years, but I couldn't have asked for a better father. More importantly, he helped make some great memories for a teenage kid that had big ideas and instilled a "you can do anything you set your mind too" attitude.
That's beautiful! Love hearing of stories like this! Sounds like we could use more men like your father
I've driven some real junk but safety and reliability have always been top priority.
Awesome dad man ✌️
"I’ve been so broke I would almost have to walk"
That's the most American thing I have ever heard.
"You're going to hit that bush" Don't think it will hurt the paint! At least he was out there having fun with what he had.
I mean he looked like a young kid working with what he had. We've all been there with beaters
Working with what you have is one thing, taking "what you have" way out into the wilds for some fun wheeling is quite another.
@@loucatozzi7656 you must be fun at party's
I had an old Dodge truck that had 385,000 miles on it I ran the crap out of it, I finally took it in to get some front end work done, they told me it would cost $8,000 to get me back on the road, and that they would not allow me to drive it until it was fixed. It was that bad. I know that kids pain.
@@jimwakefield6705 my first truck was a 86 D150 ram 225 6 4 spd nice
@@jimwakefield6705 That's why sometimes it's just better to stop trying to whip a dead horse let it die and move on before the thing takes you to the poor house with constant repair, bite the bullet sign on the dotted line buckle down get a job and drive something worth putting all that hard earned money into.
That young man reminds me of me 😂.
Driving a clapped out old car to rescue a clapped out old car... And both breaking down on you 😂
Been there SEVERAL times, lmao...
Story of me n my buddies lives 😂😂
Had a few situations like that, the one time left me stuck in the mountains for 3 days and I had to MacGyver a serpentine belt in the pos I drove to rescue my truck and get myself unstuck a bunch of times since the snow was melting and made it a muddy mess, ah the good times 😂
The trick is to have your recovery car only look clapped out, speaking as an owner of a clapped out looking 2004 Kia Spectra. That car has taken me everywhere I needed to go with very little trouble since I bought it in 2006. It looks like a rolling heap but it always starts up.
How is that even legal on the roads?
Don't you have technical control every few years to prove it's road worthy? So dangerous...
The way Matt rubbed the Durango’s driver, front tire and his face afterwards you don’t even have to look at the tire to see that there’s cords showing
Loving the comments with so many people relating to the position the young guy was in. 🙌🏻
When I was that kids age I was driving junk too. My parents made me work for anything I wanted to buy so I bought cheap beaters, wrenched on them, then wrenched some more. It’s a great way to learn a lot of things including not taking things for granted. A lot of kids these days don’t get these important lessons.
My first car was a '55 Plymouth. I drove it to Ontario and back in 1972. My co-driver was a bit of a lead foot though. The battery went into the fan on some potholes, we climbed Rogers pass on 5 cylinders, got a new battery and carried on. The fuel pump stopped working in Saskatchewan somewhere on a Sunday,, nary a new one to be found. somehow it cleared itself and away we went. It wasn't used to doing 70 MpH though and my buddy broke some rings on the way back. I replaced the engine when I got home. Oh, nearly forgot, he drove it off the road and down a bank too. Fell asleep after six hours driving when I'd just put in 30 hours and couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. That took a wrecker to get it out but no damage. Ha, ha, it was a good trip.
@@georgevindo that’s how great memories are made!!!
Yep and a great way to put everyone else on the road at risk. 😅
I was less of a risk than most of the teenagers in perfectly functional vehicles these days. I was focused and aware.
Worse than not getting the lessons, today's kids don't believe they can do any of this kind of work.
Yor repair was the strongest part of the tahoe. Great job
Legit.. that Chevy belongs in the scrap
That field repair has more integrity than anything else on that poor (former) vehicle.
Exactly what I was going to say!
As long as the Tahoe isn't rusted and is just worn, the stuff that broke can be fixed. @@mlconley
Weld a man's tie rod and he drives for a day. Teach a man to weld and he drives forever!
The great thing about having an old vehicle is all the knowledge and experience you get from the repairs.
That's very true. It's good for a young man.
You have to feel sorry for those that have the heart to go off roading but don't have the knowledge, abilities and $$$$ to do such. Sometimes we take our gifts for granted. A great Easter reminder. Thanks Matt.
That Chevy is a good candidate for an overhaul, I’ll never trash anyone for what they drive, I have been there and done that, I’ve been so broke I would almost have to walk, and I have been on the other end with some of the finest luxury cars available , I wish that kid all the luck in the world for a better vehicle
Agreed, but don't take it out wheeling, where your problem becomes someone else's problem.
It makes a yuge difference when you're doing a leisure drive out in the middle of nowhere .
That dude needs to enroll in auto mechanics ASAP
@@mikeonderchanin3026 I agree, i struggle to maintain my own vehicle, i would never take it wheeling, both due to the condition and the fact its a 19 year old minivan
@@mikeonderchanin3026 it didn't become someone else's problem, it became someone else's paycheck. if people like this didn't do things they shouldn't, matt wouldn't have a job.
I kinda feel bad for that young man. He’s out there with what he has to work with, just wanting to explore a few trails but that vehicle (neither vehicle actually)is in no shape to be doing so. He could be doing much worse things with his life but he’s out there alone being adventurous. _Stay safe young man and good luck!_
Couldn't agree more.
It's easy to judge but at least he seems to be doing his best.
Good kid!
Right on, but he needs to use his time getting his rig trail ready.
That is the point though, he is out there unprepared, illequiped and driving unsafely. Sure its better than getting trouble, but he had call for help, it is irresponsible. Should never be aloud to drive such a vehicle period. Luckily MORR is prepared but their risking their safety and equipment rescuing someone that shouldn't have been there.
@@chadjmoore matt was doing his job, and possibly going a bit above and beyond at his discretion because he's a compassionate human being. should this kid have been out there? absolutely not, but dial down the outrage a touch, you're being overly dramatic.
Well said.
It would be really cool to see you give this young man some help getting this more road-worthy. I bet a week around your shop would teach him a lot!
He needs to be steered in the right direction, above all he needs people around him who enjoy his interests. Going into a National Park or somewhere close to civilisation isn't to bad, but imagine what would have happened if he gone even further away, there are parts of Australia where you could get lost and never see anyone or have a phone signal to call for help, the US would be the same.
Well said!
I have worked with people that have no mechanical knowledge whatsoever. They have never opened the hood on their vehicles.
Back in the 80's, my school did offer a class on Automotive knowledge and theory. I know that many schools got rid of wood and metal shop classes, not sure about Auto Theory.
I also had a father that made sure all of his kids could change a tire and check the oil and other fluids on their vehicle before they were allowed to drive as a Highschooler.
Now, many cars don't even come with a spare tire. I now kind of understand why Uber and Lyft is a thing now since many young adults don't even have a driver's license, or the ambition to learn to budget to keep an automobile in running order.
" it was like it was taken apart, and someone really fu..... it was put back together in a hurry "
*custumer stares at ground*
The recovery cost more then both vehicles combined... what a piece of... art.
It must be nice to work with little or no rust, southern Ontario so much rust but a never ending supply of cheap trucks.
@@bobm7275 north On here --- plenty of clapped out salt ravaged pos going for far too much money .
Growing up, all us at one time had a POS crap-box that we occasionally took where it shouldnt have gone. Those times still make me laugh!
I may have taken an '81 RX-7 offroading and gotten away with it. Fun times.
Watching you trust your kids, is a beautiful thing. I have a 32 y/o Marine Staff Sgt, and his "little" brother is 5 years his junior and is just as bad assed and capable. They compete like dogs, but will always, in the end, love and help each other. It's a wonderful thing to watch as a Dad. (Don't get me started on their sister, who is right between those two wonderful mutts. I worked with my youngest on many a construction site and also served in the Navy... I sometimes think I am not worthy of my kids.
I respect that kid for having fun with what he’s got.
That young dude reminds me of myself when I was his age; had several old vehicles at the time and none of them could in any way be considered either reliable nor in good working order. I'd always be driving the most reliable one whilst I was working on the others and then when that one broke I'd switch to one of the others that I had at least got to the stage of running & driving somewhat, and then start the whole process over. Never occurred to me at the time to spend the money to buy just one lower-mileage & trouble-free vehicle as my daily driver...
It is debatable whether that should be classified as a Recovery, it is more in line with Trail clean-up.
😂
Can you pick this up!
Dude, I feel bad for laughing but some rigs are so clapped out that they clearly should not be out wheelin on the trails... 😁😁
Back in my EMT days, I remember a nasty call where we were way out of town and had several patients. We were overwhelmed. When the helicopter made its circle overhead before landing, the sound of its blades almost put me in tears. Help was here. I can only imagine the rumble of your equipment working has the same effect on many of your customers
I think the owner owes you guys a shirt
Matt, "I don't know where we are going to put them!" I would suggest the nearest scrap yard. 😆
Yeah those things are beat
Yeah that guys truck was un-fit for the roads ☠️ I can understand tight $$$ tho.
I second that motion.
Bring it up north sell it for 4500 bucks
Correct!
I think anyone that wants do anything Motorsports related on a budget has been in this young man's shoes your drive to do it and lack of experience out weighs common sense. I have been there!! 👍
"Need to grab my Slag hammer" I fully expected Matt to pull out an old claw hammer 🤣
That young man could benefit from Matts tutelage in mechanics, fabricating, welding etc....maybe have a show where you bring a viewers vehicle on, and have them repair along with your team??😉🤔
Matt barely has time to repair his own vehicles..... let alone bring in sombody elses junk into the shop
Dude owns a rolling scrap yard.
He's young and doing what he likes to do with what he has. Not everyone has lots of money...
@@ianwilson4161 One thing to not have lots of money, it's another thing to send the recovery guys home without even getting towed to a driveable road....
It's not bad to be poor, but making dumbass decisions like that is what will keep him there.
Poor and dumb is a painful life!
Matt owns a much larger rolling scrap yard. Lol
It looks like a 95 and some of those parts are hard to find for that year
I love how Matt gives his kids more and more resposibility - and they get more and more comfortably with the recoveries. 😎😎🤘🤘
I glad you didn't hide that big red hand print . Since no one has mentioned it will tell you why it it important . That is the symbol for missing , abused an murdered native women . Matt you need to help the young fella as he obviously needs some guidance .
lovely to see you and your son getting on so well. he was so chuffed to have his expertise recognized!
When that Chevy is melted down for future soup cans, the welded tie rod will still be in one piece.
Matt, you are a true kind friend to ALL! You and your team have a heart of gold and "rescue" ANYONE in need!! Kudos to you all-
true... but i guess the 'customers' pay
I started out Mercury, given to me bt older brother back in 1961. Had a hole in the floor because of no trans linkage. Used extra large phillips screwdriver bent 90 deg stuck in 2nd and 3rd link. Made a point to never back up. Would have needed to crawl under car to move "link" over to 1st and reverse link! Had a '30Ford coupe w/spare mount in rt front fender. No bracket for lig nut, so just aired up spare to max to hold it in fender. Up in mts of SoCal at a view point when other folks stopped and asked if I lost a spare tire.......yep two miles down mountain. Two short stories of growing up in early 60s.......next was cutting roof off 50 Dodge business coupe with a hatchet and hack saw. Ba k then cars ( limping) were 25 to 30 dollars! I think Matt gets immense pleasure teaching his sons life lessons. Kudos to Matt! 1
Matt, super recoveries time's two or three how ever you want to look at it. Glad you were able to help the young man out more than once. Have a wonderful weekend. David B.,Utah. 🇺🇲🇺🇲❤❤❤.
That customer and his vehicles are a thorough situation, what the heck😂
matt doesnt mind. mo money
The wrecker even makes a Recovery Nightmare look easy👍
the rescue that just keeps on giving...
Other towing companies would have fixed it, made sure it started, then leave him. Good job sticking with him. I have a feeling this kid's situation hits close to home in Matt's past
What are you talking about? You watched a 20 minute CZcams video with a few clips of a young guy that you don’t know and you have now decided that Matt and this kid grew up similarly? You people are really reaching to turn a paid recovery job into some kind of “feel good story”. For all we know this kid might get drunk or high right before he starts working on his vehicles, which is why they’re in the shape that they’re in. My point is, we don’t know if he’s a good or bad guy from watching one little CZcams video.
@@scottmichaels6854 We don't know anything about you either, drunk or high, my point is, we don’t know if you're a good or bad guy from one little you-tube comment.
@@scottmichaels6854 cool story bud
Thank you guys for doing what you do and taking us along
Always, always wear safety glasses when driving with no windshield. Great Fix and patience.
And nobody is mentioning seat belts?
Funny how Matt has so many parents
@@chubbrock659 it's worth mentioning this so we can all see it and do better. quit complaining that people care about matt and the people on this channel enough to offer safety advice.
You guys are awesome! I absolutely love how your family is so involved. Trail repairs are so impressive!
Reminds me of the POS I had when I was working in NM. The bicycle I owned was worth more than the vehicle and the bicycle was more reliable. Oh the memories. Thanks for sharing.
That old Tahoe has had quite a life !
Don't you mean THOSE old Tahoes? Looks like about three maybe?
I used to drive an 88 Cherokee that was basically in that same condition, the good old days of clapped rides, hahaha. Loved that thing though, despite how scrap-pile it was.
I have an 88 2 door, love the thing to death, it's served me well.
@@meaninglessvalue7778 Nice, what color? Mine was that deep purplish burgundy color. Never learned the factory name for it, was a hand-me-down vehicle from my Dad.
Great job Daniel and dad! You really made that neighborhood much, much better. Scared to see what that backyard will look like.
It's funny how Matt was just talking about EVERYTHING being clapped out on that thing and then it falls apart on queue.. lol
The recovery must have cost him more than both vehicles combined are worth.
I don't think they charge.
Yes, they have to charge. They would go out of business in a hurry if they didn't. They take multiple vehicles several hundreds of miles with multiple people to do recovery. Elon could do it as a charity, Matt has a way to go before he is in that position.
Dont fix it. theres good low mile trucks out there for $ 10,000
@@MyRadDesign Matt has said it before they don't charge for the recoveries that go on CZcams.
@@MyRadDesign i don't think he charged this one. The charge would have been more then the vehicle is worth. MORR used to show them not charging, Fabrats and Casey the same. Most on this business do not charge the customer once they hit a certain subscriber level. They may not have Elon money but they are doing very well. Matt understands he will make 5 figures from this video so he doesn't need the customer's money, the customer is making him a lot of money.
I love seeing you and Colin together and working together, Matt! Cant wait till Rhett is a lottle older also, to see where the channel goes amd what YOUR BOYS come up with!
Ahh, golden rule of junkers. *"If you drive a junk POS, you need to drive TWO junk POS's."* You can't just rely on the one. You drive one and fix the other until the driver breaks and you swap their places. And both are perpetually on life support, you don't take them offroading, especially when the backup isn't done being fixed yet. In this case, this kid apparently needs 3 junk POS's.
No expert here but I'm guessing that entire recovery operation cost him more than those two trucks are worth combined!! 🤪
I think Matt doesn’t charge for Off Road recoveries if the customer agrees to have their face shown on CZcams. Matt is at the point where he makes more off one single CZcams video than he would doing multiple recoveries.
Been there done that but don't have the t-shirt to show it. Back when I was just starting out. I had vehicles just like this kid. You get real good at trail fixes driving stuff like that. Brought back some fond memories.
I love the shift in power dynamics. Great job
Matt talking about that kid being out there with equipment that looks like it was thrown together in a hurry? He should hire that kid, Matt's standard operating procedure is to slap things together on his vehicles just good enough to get out there!
I think the "Anybody can build a bridge that holds, but you need an engineer to build one that just barely holds..." principle applies, Matt is an expert in building good enough vehicles, the customer is definitely not.
@@tamask001 Can't argue there! Also, I think there's a difference between not having time to build something and not having the money to build something.
We've all driven shitbox beaters at some point in our lives. 😂 These cars are how you learn
knowing how to maintain a POS is a necessary skill. Just looking down kicking rocks expecting others to fix it ain't learning.
Great video! This is classic MORR content right here.
That was one interesting truck, if I was the owner I’d probably be looking at unloading it
And now I’ve just seen the Durango, so two trucks to get rid of
You guys had me worried there for a bit. No video with my morning coffee.
Matt, you are doing great to have your boys get more and more involved in the business and some decision making.
Why didn’t you rotate one of the back tires to the front to replace the leaking one?
Guy was thinking "you are scratching my truck"
Yes, and in the process caused $5000 improvement.
Really nice of Matt to say. Let me know either way. Shows he really cares
As an offroader in Australia, I am in total awe of that wrecker.
"Good luck with that! "😂😂😂😂
For the Tahoe, with the front tire leaking, once the rear axle decided to almost detach, you could have put the left front tire in the back if the truck and put the left rear tire on the left front.
And with Colin's remark about "it just slithered up there", I propose the name "Snake" for the wrecker.
I have watched beaucoup (that is 11% more than "a lot") of Matt's videos and one thing that I have learned is that I would be risking significant damage or being stranded if I took my stock 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee on most of the trails you travel. It was nice to open up CZcams and there was this new video. I smiled. We did get a cameo appearance by Peanut.
Thank you. That sure vas a great pull for your well equip wrecker .Keep on making great entertainment and video's they are great
Matt is too friendly.. "Good luck with that.." lol
Clear example of why Utah getting rid of safety inspections was a terrible idea, those kind of vehicles are in traffic with us everyday. That tie rod could have broken with a pothole causing a head on crash. Brakes go out at a traffic light striking a motorcycle or a car with a new born baby. Leafs come out rolling the suburban at a high rate of speed.
Exactly! It would have been one thing if the guy had trailered it to the trail and just used it for off road stuff but obviously he drove on public roads to get to the trail. Unfortunately people don’t think about stuff like that until they’re being charged with involuntary manslaughter.
That's plain unbelievable how many people loses their lives at roads at USA. And US should be a western country, not developing one =D Now even I know why.
Yup. The USA has insanely dangerous public roads because of the lack of safety inspections. This tahoe should be impounded and not allowed on the road at all. I'm not saying fine the driver cuz debt traps are stupid, but really this vehicle should be impounded and scrapped because of the shape it's in.
That maneuver at 7:42 was extremely impressive. There's a lot of torque going on to pull one of those old chevy clapboxes up a grade like that. They're not light.
This kids energy will pay off one day! Did Good on the camera work too😂
To whom this may concern 😂 stop complaining they been kinda busy just enjoy the video
I like that generation Tahoe, but that one's ready to be a parts truck. At least the body looks fairly clean.
"I was expecting my repair to have broken"... Yeah ok Matt haha
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
In the computer world we sometimes say "problem exists between keyboard and chair"
so.... in keeping with that... "problem exists between steering wheel and seat" hahaha
That particular computer also had the power to the graphics card hooked up through three adapters to a too small psu, left the plastic film on the cpu cooler and half the screws were missing.
@@krtwood oh god... I've seen that vid lol
I'm glad I live NOWHERE near that guy. Sorry to say that but that was the most unsafe vehicle I've seen on the road in years.
To be fair, it wasn't on a road.
Sadly vehicles like this are way more common than you think, I worked for a shade tree mechanic one summer and about 75% the vehicles we worked on I would not feel comfortable driving on a public road.
A bit overdramatic bro. Might be time to revoke you man card...
You must not watch JustRolledIn 😂
16:43 That's the perks of having hydrostatic steering. makes it soo easy to steer when everything is hydraulic instead of having linkage :)
Love seeing you working with your sons. Happy Easter.
Dang, you guys are lucky. If I drove a razor down the road, there would be 5 cops behind me.
If you think about it, a razor is more street legal than Matt's off road wrecker is. The wrecker has no bumpers, fenders, or horn
That vehicle should have never left the driveway.
Yeah going out in the desert in that heap is risky... At least he had cell service.
Except it goes for the scrapyard. XD
Neither of them lol. Poor dude doesn't have a working rig between the two of them.
@@TheAntinowherelane It is always a good thing to keep ONE rig in good working order to rescue your other junk.
Well... I like to think of it this way -- If he hadn't left the driveway, we would not have been blessed by such comradery between him, Matt, and Kaulin (or is it Colin?), I think it is Kaulin - anyway... Did you see how that guy was so calm with his two vehicles breaking - that was crazy. I felt so bad for him because I myself have been there with a vehicle that I had no choice but to bubble-gum together because I had no money, but he seemed to have life by the tail. I was so hoping that Matt would have offered him a job - he just looks like he would be perfect for Matt's Off Road Recovery, and Matt and the crew could teach him how to build a much better and safer ride to adventure in - that is for sure. ...And Matt and Kaulin are great together - Dad and Son working together smiling and laughing - who could ask for anything more???...
Lol we can tell who's from the south and west by all the scrapyard comments. That was a clean burb, just needs some suspension parts.
Nice seeing Kaulin more involved in all aspects of the business... 🙂 Solid vehicles have issues off road... poorly maintained vehicles should never leave a parking lot....
Everything about that customer and his vehicles was sketchy, to have 2 pieces of crap that can't move without breaking down..... 🤨
Good job cleaning the trash out! Maybe you could drop it at a junk yard! The owner needs to think about his choices.
Yeah if he "built" that he has to work on his quality... If he bought it it was near scrapyard condition and shouldn't have been out in the desert!
The owner looks like a younger kid who might just not have a ton of money.
Kaulin and you are becoming the new duo and the father/son thing is nice to watch. You guys did the right thing by that kid.....
Man i love seeing Matt and his son Colin work together. I have a 5 year old son and i love showing him how to work on trucks. It’s really rewarding.
That young fella with the suburban needs to be a tad more easy on his equipment while off roading. Just saying.
You live n learn
Looks like a fun beater mobile that can be hammered on without worries
Yeah, that Tahoe needs to be treated easy, like grandma.
Colin will be taking a lot of your responsibility and recoveries as he is demonstrating a extraordinary amount of recovery skills these days. Time to let the kids take over without the micromanagement of daddy. The "Passing of the Torch" is apropos. Kudos to Colin.
No shame young man. We've all had our fair share of beaters and to be honest some of my best memories were made with them. I also learned a thing or two about how to work on my own stuff. Value lessons. ❤❤
I kinda feel bad for that kid, hes doing the best he can with what hes got. Glad you guys were there to help him out!
That's what I call quick sand. No matter how hard you try things just keep getting worse. You're a good man Matt
it's a normal day - no keys, no gas. love you guys
Love the dice and the dash cover in the dodge, what a pimp ride!
I'm gonna echo a lot of comments here. Its easy to look at this guy with his broke-down vehicles out of context and just see junk. What I see is what he could get, and a lot of lessons and skills he's gonna learn by not being afraid to fail. Keep keepin' on, dude.
Totally agree... I don't think people remember when they got their first car and it's condition compared to where they are at today. That truck will force him to learn lessons most don't learn until 25+. Wish he had the funds to learn more, that's always the problem.
This truck is in a shambles!
Matt seemed to be getting frustrated by the time the Durango broke down, but kept his composure, well done 👍 I remember when I was young like that and kept trying to go have fun with my truck that needed a lot of help.
When we were in Georgia (the country) a few months ago, we heard that totaled American cars were regularly shipped there for rebuilding. Sometimes two good halves of a car (similar years) were welded together to make a whole car. The we saw some of this cars on the road to verify this (the paint mismatch gave it away). The Tahoe and Durango remind me of those cars.
Damn, Collin's ready to take charge of some jobs. That kid has a good teacher.
