😂planet earth, what lie that’s been propagated by the lying Freemasons. Read your Bible and you’d know earth is immovable! And has a firmament glass like dome over the top of the flat plane earth , Bible has hundreds of verses that point to this people just don’t read the word of God , never heard a peep about God from any of you which is kinda strange if you’re men and women of God don’t you think I mean I’m only a few years old in Christ so maybe nobody is suppose to mention Him
Now you can challenge Rory and the Mater trailer to a trailer off... Or something like that. Maybe you have a better name for it. Your trailer versus the TrailMater trailer.

Blue Mule much better name.... just sayin Blue Steel sounds like a porn name lol
Hey Tom Charging port was my idea
Hey Matt, one thing to consider when you're recovering nice RVs like that: most of them have hydraulic leveling jacks on the corners that can be operated independently, and they're usually tall enough to lift the front wheels off the ground. Next time you've got one low to the ground like that try raising the front with the jacks, it'll make your life much easier.
Or have someone who's midsection isn't a 55 gallon drum in a blue shirt wriggle under it ... Matt, I'm just kidding
If you ever run out of gas on Persnickety Trail and see an old Subaru recklessly careening towards you on two wheels flag me down. You can't have any of my gas but you can use my satphone to call Rory.
I'll second that. My 37' fifth wheel weighed 20k and my BigFoot jacks would easily lift it high enough to change the tires - all 8 of them!
@@Martys-4x4 - no kidding!?! Ever hear of hyperbole ?
Jacks probably won't be able to deploy with the chassis that close to the ground
Don't forget, behind the front grill panels are the factory tow hook points, similar to the newer cars with the loading hook point.
You'll look like a pro 🤗
TomTom has been an excellent addition to the Matt’s Off-road Recovery Team. He’s very knowledgeable & contributor whenever the team needs some smart ideas. Great job TomTom.
However, he can't tell a Razor from a Canned Ham. It's okay.. Hefé's new "Scout" is top notch too😂
Well aferall he is a nuclear physicist...
Still miss Trevor though
@@anthonyscolyer2444Trevor and Tucker just started a new channel called MisAdventure Labs.
I love how Matt trusts his team so much that he can send them on these jobs and knows they'll safely "get em out!"
That trailer needs a seven blade R.V. wiring connector with the positive battery circuit which supplies power to the trailer battery to keep it charged., Works well on all my trailers. Great video, Thank you all.
Goat heads are the scourge of humanity!
I've had those suckers in my feet more times than I can count. Living in a van out there, they would stick to my boots and then fall off in the carpet inside. I can totally feel your pain Matt!
Stepping on one barefoot is worse than stepping on a Lego.
Called dubbeltjies where I come from. Terrible things!
Looks very similar to what we call a cockleburr in these parts. I don't think they are quite the same tho. Cockleburrs have little hooks at the end of their spikes so they absolutely will not ever come off your clothes.
@@kirstenmorrison8308I dunno. It's pretty hard to find something as terrible as stepping on a Lego when you're half asleep dragging yourself to the restroom. That feels like the literal end of the world.
They were the greatest evil on the trails as a kid. Every flat tire i got on my bike was from the evil that is Goat Heads!
11:11 Time for a solar panel for the trailer..?.? Nearing my 70th birthday in a couple months, great shows... Thanks.
I use a 7 blade RV plug on my trailer. That includes a 12 volt power supply that will charge my winch battery. I also have a small solar panel mounted on the tongue. Between those my battery is always charged.
Matt is very fortunate to have swayed Tom to work with him. Tom and Matt work well as a team or apart. I always love seeing Lizzie. She is just as sweet as they come.
I have to agree. Matt has a great crew with excellent camera presence. I miss Trevor, but this crew is really good
Yes she is . That’s all I can say appropriately!
@@davestevens4263creep
@@davestevens4263ah we got a weird fucker
Yeah, I knew Tom was a score of an employee from the get go. Just enough level head, humor and smarts, although we don't really get to see all of his smarts. That is probably a bonus for him though. I am sure it makes for more relaxing work.
Look at the SQUAT on that Ford. Wow!
Just me or does anyne else want to get stuck in utah just to get rescued by this guy?
i think its just you
No Buddy, having a shirt and a story to go is what it’s all about.
I tried to get stuck but my 97 Silverado 4 x 4 extended cab short bed with a V8, manual transmission, and 35s just went anywhere that I wanted it to.
in a rental Nissan Versa...in an area with crap cell coverage...lol
Do you know how much they charge???
I am sure Matt will find an appropriate way of thanking Tom for reminding everyone about his slip/fall 😂😂😂
That looked a lot more painful than Matt was making it out. My guess is that must have really hurt him, but he was being a brave soldier for his mum.
A good idea for your trailer batteries: solar battery tenders. They aren't really great for long-term usage, but if it's sitting in the sun and used ~once a week, it may be enough to keep it topped up. Bonus points towards not letting the battery go flat, too. Longevity!
Even using the accessory power through a 7 pin plug would help.
The Banana just doesn't get the accolades it deserves. I have seen Matt do some incredible things with that rig. GO BANANA!
No kidding. Like dragging the golden nugget out of the wilderness. The wrecker would never have made that. Way too big. Banana for the win!
No she doesn't! I just love her low rumble. I've never been too fond of the tinnie rattle that is so popular on cars these days.
The beauty of bringing Blue Steel on the trailer is that the trailer allowed for a lower pull on the motor home than any of the rigs without hooking to the axle.
Once again, Matt comes up with the best solution with the tools he has.
Trailer and Wrecker added a couple thousand pounds of ballast to Blue Steel for extra traction as well.
@@philb5593 Honestly without that weight on the rear axle I doubt it could have done it. You could hear the tires beginning to chirp and lose traction on the truck.
Blue steel was pulling the trailer with the wrecker on it. Blue steel was not on the trailer.
@@Cragified It would do it if he uses 4x4. My brother and I have pulled out fully loaded semis that weigh more than that RV with our F250s.
Matt you would make a great teacher. The way you explained to Lizzie what you wanted her to do was to perfection
Mount a small solar charger next to the winch/battery to automatically trickle charge the battery.
Great idea. They will come up with some great custom steel protective frame for it too.
Like the suggestion of adding an anderson connection to the vehicle, they would actually have to get round to doing it 😀
@@slaveofjesus3878 That will add another TON to it... They deffinetly can't work for Lotus.
@@milesbartlett Honestly, they could carry an extra long set of jumper cables on the trailer in the meantime, and just clamp it on the tow vehicle.
Always a good morning when MORR uploads
So happy to see the banana out on an old school recovery. Always enjoy what Jake brings. He is a natural on camera and entertaining.
I'm so happy 🤗 !!! I started out this morning here in New Zealand feeling depressed!! After sitting down and watching M.O.R.R for 15mins I'm feeling quite happy and Ready to start the day..!!! Thank you all for being who you are..!!!❤❤😀🙏
First time I was introduced to a goat head was in Wichita Falls Tx. 6 years old and barefooted through the grass... ill never forget that pain...
💯 Albuquerque New Mexico support and love to all Matt's off-road recovery CZcams family👍🏼✌️
😁👍🏻
We have goatheads too
@@MrStaybrown 💯 question of the day would you rather step on barefooted a Lego or a gold head🤣🤣
@archieletsyouknow5508 I'd rather step on a Lego in the dark and then stub my pinky toe.😁
@@MrStaybrown 💯🤔 no the question is Stephan a Lego or step on a goat head and risking it breaking off in your foot🤣🤣 and having no one there to dig it out for you🤣🤣
I like how that model of side by side has holes in the doors to ensure all your crap spills out when it inevitably rolls.
I have nothing good to say about side by sides. You can buy three flat fenders forasmuch as they cost and have a lot more fun
@@jefflilyea4669 totally agree.
@@jefflilyea4669 To each their own, but I do love a SXS on a good trail!
@@jefflilyea4669what's a flat fender
Steal a trick from old Jeepers. Buy some big ammo cans from an army surplus store. Bolt them down in the vehicle and toss all your stuff in them. Even if you flip it, it's not going anywhere. As long as the seals in the lid are good, they're waterproof.
Even though you didn't "use" the Wrecker...its weight on the trailer gave BlueSteel weight/traction on the drives...Nice Full Pull! 👊
Note to self: add rubber puncture proof mat so that we don't have to lay in goat heads or other spikey things. Another great video as always.
A yoga mat is great for this. Also provides a bit of relief on hot, hard concrete. And they are cheap.
@@philbert006 and you can do some yoga while you wait for a teammate to retrieve the keys/battery/welder/tools you forgot
@@hollythompson9168LMAO 😂🤣 shots fired!
Lets talk about how powerful Blue Steel is.. Keep in mind Ford always get the short end of the stick. This was impressive with a trailer and the off road wrecker on top. Great job Matt.
Fords been one of the top payload trucks for a longggg time plus they’re jus the best looking trucks on the road
the trailer with th wrecker on top helped give more grip to the rear wheels because of the added weight, also more mass to pull on the motorhome
ever tried to drive an empty bed truck on snow? terrible thing to do, a friend would load rocks just to have grip
Blue Steel is powerful but not in a league of its own for what it is.
Hell my 4 cyl 5 speed Tacoma pulled plenty of Ram 2500s out of snow banks.
I knew a guy who pulled 20,000lbs with a Ford ranger in the 90s. You can't go very fast and the truck doesn't like it, but it'll do it.
@imblackmagic1209 correct.
I had a 98 chevy 3/4 ton 2wd pickup. I had 2 tractor inner tubes full of sand around the wheel wells every winter. I never got stuck, just because of the weight.
@@imblackmagic1209 I agree
Highly recommend the solar trickle chargers for auxiliary batteries like the one on the trailer. It'll stay charged up easily in that Utah sun.
Blue steel is an under appreciated beast on the channel. That truck has been around since the beginning, just putting in work like a beast and it never stops. Always pulling something or getting the crap beat out of it on roads it shouldnt be on. I'm not a Ford guy but that truck is a beast!
Matt & Tom Tom perfection 💛, Shoutout to Lizzie’s for stopping by🌼 Hefa always a pleasure 💛✌️💛💛💛
Great video!! Nice change of pace. You guys actually recorded more time showing work than just watching tom or Matt talking into the camera. Feels like the old days, and that's great.
Product idea....Matt's mats? Or at least a beach towel to get between your backs and the goatheads😅
A piece of cardboard works great and it is very thin. I've got a road base shop and the cardboard smooths out the "floor."
You don't need Andersen connectors, just a tiny trickle charger powered off the running lights would be fine. An Andersen would be useful if you wanted to skip the battery entirely, but then every vehicle would have to have one. If you adapt a little trickle charger to the running lights, it'll stay topped up while being towed by anything.
I bet Tom was way ahead of the other kids with his Tonka Trucks.
Jake and Tom work well together, nice, smooth recovery.👍
That RV just sank from it's weight, what little gravel he had wasn't going to support it! Great Job pulling the trailer Tom!!
Goat head thorns legit could have been the inspiration for medieval caltrops.
Each spike can be up to around 10mm long, and they contain a mild poison that causes a burning sensation.
any idea how to get rid of the plants, after your property is "contaminated"? they spread like the black death and are as usefull as wasps.
That trailer axle has a habit of bending offroad.
Imagine a smaller wheel up in the air in front of the wheel that keeps bending.
That way any big obstacle/step wouldn't hit the main wheel square and get hung up but could roll off the smaller wheel.
I was ready to give you crap about backing a trailer Tom, but you did a fine job,😋, great video guys, and thanks for sharing.
Nice recoveries everyone!! So Blue Steel is going in for a make-over!! COOL!!! You guys ALL are fantastic!! Great people, great action and great filming!!
Thank you, thank you, for letting us see the road ahead. And for showing all of the recovery .
Great recoveries. Jake is a GREAT edition to the crew.
Matt, I've noticed how the small trailer puts a big strain on getting over big rocks. What if you put a smaller tire in front of the other tires, kinda like the Bobbie. Which should make it easier for you.
I was in Matt's area doing some razor stuff and found out if you have to call Matt the 100 other people that stopped couldn't do the job. But thanks to everyone who stopped to help others in need.
The MORR team seems really solid these days.
Matt, my 8 month old son lights up every time he sees you, he starts smiling and laughing like a wildman. Keep the awesome videos coming.
I’m 26 and I have the same reaction to seeing Matt….
@@jackdraper8603man love rules
@@jackdraper8603I'm 41 and I agree😅
the only problem with Anderson plug to keep the trailer battery charged is that you then need a connector on every vehicle that is likely to tow the trailer .. given the ( usually ) sunny climate better idea might be a small solar panel on the battery / winch housing
Seriously, they get a ton of sun, it won’t take a very big panel to keep it charged.
You can buy a 12v to 15V converter very cheaply that will charge that battery even with the voltage drop on the trailer plug. Doesn't even need to be a hot wire, just run the tail lights when running.
I was so impressed at the RV recovery in the driveway. That looked so soft and buried and I was thinking there was no way blue steel was gonna pull that out like it did. You rigged it JUST RIGHT low to the ground, had Lizzy do exactly the right thing. I guess the weight of the offroad wrecker probably helped a lot in this scenario keeping the trailer planted and more weight on blue steels traction wheels. But dang, that came out so sweet. I would have wasted a lot of effort digging around that RV even if I had the same equipment. Just shows you that experience knows. I would have bet money that your plan would fail, even tho I respect your experience. I just could not see it. I love being wrong, because it teaches me new things. Databyter
Matt's off road recovery Team is Awesome , good job Lizzy 👀🥰💯👀💯🥰💯💯💯🥰🥰💯💯🥰🥰
You did really well there Tom. Good recoveries, thanks for the video.
Yayy morning Matt’s off road
Jake and Tom work well together, nice, smooth recovery.. Great recoveries. Jake is a GREAT edition to the crew..
Great video! Since it’s so sunny there and I think the trailer is stored outside, you should consider one of the solar battery maintainers. Worked great on our camper.
Good to see Trevor on CZcams and the goat head issue use your floor mat out of your truck and lay on it it’s basic recovery and towing knowledge
Great Job Tom..
Every year at the sand dunes, I pull several coaches out. One thing that I always do is use the leveling jacks to lift it up, push sand/dirt back in the hole, then tow it out. It amazes me how many don't think about using their jacks like that.
Bad memories of Goatheads! They are no joke. Still bear the scars from one that pierced the tendon sheath in my thumb. Glad I left them behind when I moved from Idaho.
I noticed you've bent the axles on the trailer again Matt 🤕, You may need to build it again only tougher 😂😂.
Time to build a concrete pad for that rv, imo.
Another great video. Thanks MORR team.
Glad to see Lizzy promoting the mug. I have two and they are awesome…. Ordered mine during the wrecker war…
I'm watching some old recoveries i missed for some reason :) ... AND I was pleasantly surprised to see LIzzy!! with the weather report! :)
Good morning and thumbs UP! 👍
I love your videos! You are great to watch while playing snowrunner
Real sticky recovery and one sandy recovery ! Both excellent . Thanks for sharing !
Hey, I have an idea: Use some Anderson connectors on the winch and another dangling in the back of the banana and MORRvair. Then you can hook up any battery you might have without the silly clamps, or use the vehicle battery *when* you forget a jump box. Or do it MORR style and get some super-long jumper cables and just go from starter battery of vehicle back to the winch.
I know, I know. It just came to me.
Down here in Georgia we call goat heads sand spurs. As you usually find them in the sand
I'm in North Carolina and we call them sand spurs also. They're nasty little suckers lol.
In Florida, sandburs. (not sure these east coast, "nasty little suckers", are the exact same thing though)
Sandburs or sand spurs (Cenchrus spinifex cav) are totally different that goat heads (Tribulus terrestris). Sandburs are grassy weeds and the burrs grow on a stalk. Goatheads grow on a creeping vine and grow everywhere in the southwest where the soil has been disturbed. A single goat head plant can grow into a mat covering a large area. I've seen a single goat head plant over 12 feet in diameter. Each goathead seed pod actually contains 3-4 individual seeds.
That trailer does rock! That was real good driving, Tom. Too bad that was all manufactured, because it looked seriously professional. hahahaha
Also, it may come as a surprise, but many motor homes aren't built well enough to move much. 1 mile of wear on a car is like 20 miles of wear on a motor home, maybe. Imagine hanging cabinets with staples into upholstered foam board type quality, but everywhere.
That made blue steel look like a complete beast, it makes sense it wasn't off road pulling, so it makes sense that a bonafide pick up would do well at pulling while on pavement.
Oh wow Lizzy is on a recovery. We don't see this much anymore.
Yeah. I was sad when it was announced she was going part time. But it's awesome she's doing so many things with her husband now.
Lizzy is Cool, But the weather is "ALWAYS better" when Ed tells it. You know its gonna be a good day. 👍 this applause is for the crowd Favorite Ed 👏 👏
Boy do I remember goatheads from my days bicycling on dirt roads in Albuquerque as a kid. This was before tuffys and sealants. My bike shop guy told me to take an old inner tube, open it up on the inner circumference and wrap it around the new tube to prevent more flats. That helped but some of the bigger goatheads still got through.
IDK, gravel and stuck in dirt, looks “off the road” to me🤣👍🏼🤣 cheers from Oregon. 🌬️💨💚🌬️💨💚
Blue steel is REALLY squatting
A tow hook like on your rollback would be handy
Texas tried to choose which sharp painful sticker should be the State Sticker. But the issue was never settled as the legislators could not decide if Goat Heads or Sand Burrs would win. So hats off Matt for rolling around in the dirt is a patch Goat Heads!
Us aussies call our version of goatheads bindis and it grows everywhere (like truly everywhere) and will get so bad in places that when I tried bike riding my tire popped 3 times in 10kms
Man, TomTom seems to have grown so much. It has been awesome to watch.
may not have been off road but it wasn't on road either
i like the dynamic between Tom and Jake, but the better 'couple' to watch between all the MORR crew is Matt and Tom. its so obvious that they have known each other for quite some time but they seem so comfortable around each other that it often goes without saying that they know what each other is thinking. for sure there are so many characters in MORR, and probably one of the more popular of those has to be Lizzy. ive been driving for over 40 years but honestly this young lady would drive circles around me, in just about any vehicle on the road!
please keep up the good work guys, this is by far the best recovery channel on youtube, without a shadow of a doubt!
Impressed with blue built ford tough now it's getting some Layton upgrade 👌
Good morning to Matt and all!!!
Morning dose of wholesome!
Lizzie is such a cute girl with skills. She’s much like my own daughter her age: she can tool with the best of men, and look good doing it. Her husband is a lucky man.
Tom if you don't fix the charging system right now you will forget or you can get a nice long set of jumper cables to go front the front to the back and do it that way.
🤔 Don't need Anderson cables.🥳 They make charge controllers to keep on-trailer batteries charged that work off the standard 7 pin off the truck. Look into them.. Way easier.👍
I wonder why they dont put tow points on these. They look like they could get stuck on a speed bump.
Or a pot hole!
MORR Time!
Matt your are out of this world!!!!!!!!!!!! You literally lay on a bed of thorns in line of work and never even winced!!! God bless you Sir!!!
Here in Texas we call those grass burrs. I had a patch in my back yard that was about 4x8’ long. 2 choices to get rid of them. Burn them or dig them up. My lawnmower folks dug up a 8x12’ patch and replaced with sod. Dog kept getting them in her paws. Needles can break off and cause infection. I no longer have to worry about them as when the grass came up no grass burrs anymore.
You guys should also install some air bags in the suspension.
lizzy= 10 outta 10
Easy there old fella, get your hand off it.
Hi guys, thought you might find a long pry bar (or long lining bar) helpful for heaving stuff around on a trailer. Cheaper than hernia surgery... 👍👍
Yup. Leverage and a winch are better than a visit to a clinic😂
It is great to see that Matt, Tom, Lizzy the team, the editors found each other to build and work as a complete team where we feel part of the team 🎉 Congrats ❤
Nice!
Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥
YAY!!! You are!!!!
Awesome recoveries MORR team! Tell Robby to beef up the rear suspension on Blue Steel while he's at it. Poor girl is squatting hauling the World Largest Off-road wrecker around! 🤣

Even if it took half a dozen tries😉

I was watching Matt's video in a Canadian Tire parking lot. A guy wondered over and complimented my van. We started talking about camping in trucks and vans and driving off road. I mentioned I was watching a guy do offroad recoveries. And he looks at me and goes "Matt?" LOL. He says. I watch him all the time and just got back from a camping trip in Sand Hollow.
With those backing skills Tom should hire out as a professional boat launcher. You made it look easy Tom. Good job!
A nice kit to keep handy is "exhaust bladder jack" not sure what they really are called. We used them a lot here on busses. Clamp it on to an exhaust, run the engine for a while and et voila, you have an air filled bladder that can be used anywhere. :)
