      @@JohnFL No, his business model just changed. He started out just a regular tow company(well actually he had a roofing company first, then he sold it and bought wesslers(sp?) towing). He didn't even do any off roading, they all did derby stuff 100 percent on their off time. Then he started getting calls for people stuck in the sand, so the winch wasn't necessary. This was before the banana was even painted yellow. THEN he started uploaded videos to yt at some point, he started getting more calls that he didn't used to take, stuff broke down while crawling. Between the only doing stuck vehicles(never needing the winch) to rock crawler rescues(mainly for yt views) he then needed the winches, and now he is doing so many that he is advancing to an off road wrecker. But without yt he would have never went past just your average sand hollow rescue.
      Point it, it had NOTHING to do with us, except for maybe the viewership being higher on videos where he was rock crawling(more exciting). This is why he doesn't video the dozens of times he gets side by sides, and just uses them for filler or almost B roll, becuase people just don't watch them as much.
      I personally think Trailmater's rig and recoveries are awesome, I just don't watch them as much because he doesn't have the some people there to just it personality. Which is why I can't wait for the heavy wrecker(which is probably the main reason Matt is making it, also the view count for fabrication is way higher.)

      At 28k lbs MBS with a pulley system (weight taken by the anchor instead of the rope), the break-ability of the weight rated pull line is completely negligible here. As in tree work, these ropes are not known for their failure under tension…quite the opposite actually. But of course you should know this right?

    Great job! That was a tough recovery. Regarding the lost wheel: I've had success hauling a vehicle missing a wheel by jamming a short piece (4') of 4x4" (or a similar piece of tree) under the suspension and lashing it in. It allows the vehicle to slide along on the wood and not dig in to ruts etc. Thanks for the videos!

There is no sign or any indication that this road is closed, so how would Matt or anyone know this is meant to be a closure? And if you can get past it, is it really considered a closure? If I show up in my Jeep and see this rock, I'll just consider it an obstacle and drive right over it. Get a gate, put up some legitimate signs, then you might have something to stand on regarding this issue. Trying to take advantage of Matt's class only shows your lack of class.
