      You would think that the operators all know about wrecker booms and dips in the trail. Rory is always completely on top of it constantly adjusting the boom height even while in motion. Paul put a huge dent in a towed vehicles hood a couple years ago, and I think Matt might have been there when it happened. So it's not like they are not aware of how and when it happens.

He even took some of the blame from an earlier incident and laughed about it! I hope we all treat the people we love with this level of kindness. It feels more rare lately so it's nice to see.

    This is not the 1st time I've seen matt and his crew recover Jillian now. Even from the 1st recovery video I've seen of her on here was obviously not her first. She seems like a really cool person I feel like we could start a go-fund-me for her to get her a little lift and a locker or two. It would be really cool to see what Matt and his crew could do with her expedition. I'm sure she would be happy to perform a recovery or two if she had a properly outfitted rig. If not it would at least provide some great content for the full size ford guys.

    Jillian needs her rig customized a bit, she has to be Matt's number one customer and provides lots of content. So, what say you get some upgrades into her ride as a surprise...
    Sean is a hell of a trooper, great to see his excellent camera work. I think that the wrecker needs an extendable boom, or how else is it going to stop damaging hoods??? Matt and Tom Tom need to address this and discuss the options.
    So happy to see both Jefe and Jamie out on their first recoveries, learning the limits to their rigs.

  • @Kickinpony66
    @Kickinpony66 Před rokem +5

    I think you may need to lengthen the boom, on the wrecker. Jillian is a hoot! She definitely needs rock sliders! I don't blame Jefe for going easy on the Bronco, since it didn't have any upgrades (I know, this was shot before the skidplates and tie-rod armor was installed).

  • @crusadeagainsttomatoes2518

    As someone wrote in the comments on the last video, a large boat fender, or several, attached to the boom would probably stop damage to the towed vehicles. I saw Rory had a strap that the nose of the towed vehicle nestled into (shielding from the boom), maybe that could also work.

    • @MattBalder

    Sean was great as a camera man, and gracious with the slight damage incurred. Same way I would have handled it. I expect my off road rig to get some scratches and dents. As for Jillian... she's great. Love that she gets out and off roads. Matt needs to institute some sort of punch card reward for customers like Jillian. First time recoveries get a T-shirt. After that for each subsequent time there is really nothing. Something like 10 recoveries, and you get a free dinner or other.

    Matt, I think I mentioned it in the last video that the heavy wrecker needs an extendable boom. It just seems to me if you are taking on off camber and difficult trails a boom that can extend out further or a "V" boom (turned 180° from what you have) would work a lot better than the short arm that you are currently using.

    7:32 - Matt, all you need to do is build a removable cross bar that goes from the boom to the connection points on the customer vehicle. This will create a protection triangle, preventing the customer vehicle from getting too close to the wrecker. I would put a motorcycle shock in the middle of the cross bar to aid in absorbing impulses offroading.
