      If you watch enough, you’ll see that the banana is highly modified, with suspension upgrades and a purpose built stroker motor (upgraded from 4.0 to 4.6). So yes, Matt knows what he is doing off-road, but he has purpose built tools as well, as one would expect. The ability to modify the Cherokee platform and run it hard at a relatively reasonable cost is what makes is so attractive.

      Its not the hooking that is the problem, but pulling a heavy trailer on soft sand from stand still, say he would not be able to pull it, if the truck remained hooked it was easier to pull them both because he could gain some speed and energy in the rope, rope acts like a spring.

    it never ceases to amaze me at what you can do with an XJ, this last winter we had a hard freeze and heavy snowfall in oklahoma and i flat towed my roommates F350 to the diesel shop roughly a quarter mile from the house because his fuel tank jelled (-20 for the lows overnight and his fuel was treated, but not for the temps we got vs what was predicted), behind my '91 XJ, the rocks to control steering were a surprise and i noticed BSF mentioned the ratchet strap method, I've done that one time before and it works really well

Pulling the truck trailer away from the trucks rut always seemed to work. Having the truck out of the holes the driver made also aided in getting moving.

    @Skinflaps_Meatslapper Před 2 lety

    Seems like it might be handy to have one of those hand truck things with a set of little wheels for moving around trailers custom made and reinforced, so if you got a stuck trailer that's unhooked you could just lock it into the ball hitch, attach a reinforcement bar to the trailer tongue with a simple clamp or u-bolt, lift the jack up to put the weight on the hand truck thing, and hook the recovery rope up to it. The part that hooks up to the trailer would have a simple pivot for the wheel underneath to rotate, and the wheel assembly would have a bar on the front of it for the strap. It would be steered by tracking wherever the strap is being pulled from, and that would be the limit of your control, but if you're in soft sand it'll be braking on its own and won't go cruising right into the back of the recovery vehicle. All you're really doing is supporting a castering wheel under the trailer tongue so it can roll when you give it a tow, it doesn't need to be complicated. Could be designed in a way that breaks down small for storage and adjusts for different trailer dimensions, just toss it in the back if you get a call that involves a trailer.

    When you rolled up on the jeep, I swear the customer looked like Guy Fierri.

      yeah Matt is a really good driver. How about how he got that Jeep back up the hill going back and forth and used the rocks, gravity and his brain. It's not rocket science but it worked. That's what I like about this channel. It's a lot of simple common sense stuff. Nothing too high tech but it works.

    At first I thought, "That person looks like Guy Fieri", then I saw that Jeep and though, "Was that Guy Fieri?"

    I have unhooked from a trailer, and used a 5/4 decking board for a jack skid, and winched it 5 feet at a time with the truck jack to reposition the skid board to get my wood trailer out.

    You need a long handled fork to straddle the front tires to assist steering for tie rod issues
