So We Got A Call!

- So we got a call for a Can-Am side by side, it had ripped the front right wheel off. They were way out in the middle of the Arizona strip desert. They had tried towing it, but weren't able to get it very far with the ball joints being broken. They gave us the GPS coordinates of the wash they left it in and the "best" directions to get there. We probably should have waited until the next morning! We left in the evening and were gone until midnight. We made a few really stupid mistakes that could have been disastrous. 1; we didn't load the spare for the Jeep on the trailer. (Arizona strip is infamous for eating tires). 2; we didn't tell anyone where we were going. 3; we didn't bring enough food or water. 4; we didn't bring extra gas... Having the 2nd Jeep would have saved us if something did go wrong, so that was good!

Thanks for watching!
Jason here! What a night! My wife and kids and I ate like royalty. We had a 5 course meal while in our jeep. We sang songs and listened to an entire audio book - The Box Car Children audio series. We had no idea those crazy cats in the yellow banana were rationing supplies. We had leftovers tho spare.
Also, not pictured is our 18 month toddler who was a trooper the entire time.
Our 5 year old never was convinced that Ed is "The Real Ed". Ed is the real deal through and through.
Randy did an amazing job capturing the events of the night with his camera.
Trevor is a long time friend of Matt's. They go way back. Old friends for life for sure!
I have a 2000 XJ Cherokee classic with a 4.5 inch lift and 33 inch tires. It's permanently locked up front and rear with 4.88s gearing. Yes it tops out at about 45mph but is a fantastic rock crawler for these parts.
My daughter who drew the picture wants to be a professional artist. Thanks for the encouragement. I'll pass it on to her.
My wife is an amazing explorer and wondered why we went the long way the whole time! Ha! Gents - listen to your wives! She read all the signs!
It was a great April fools joke to go the long way!
A night to remember for sure!
After we got back to the yard I realized I gave my wife the keys to drive the Jeep home tell Randy had to give me a ride to my house and then all the way back to the yard. It extended the adventure by another hour and a half.
I'm honored to be part of this amazing crew moving forward! (Consulting) www.screenpromote.com

The more I watch this episode the more I pick out each time. It's replete with all sorts of story lines!
Enjoy!
Be sure to like, subscribe, and of course share.
Make sure Trevor doesn't see this comment! ;-) His drama lines were soo good, smiled a lot.
Jason you have memories now that you’ll enjoy the rest of your life
The girls will also. Make memories every chance you get both of my kids died a long time ago and, I don’t care for that. Give the girls a hug for me, & remember to put the seat Down.
More refrigerator art please.
I was thinking your kids were remarkably well-behaved for an impromptu trip that had turned into rather a long one well past their bedtimes. Having plenty of food no doubt helped :-)
Who is Ed to you
Better than any damn reality tv show, that’s for sure.
Very true
100% truth!
@Todd m 100% agreed on the FAKE & scripted "reality" TV shows! When AxeMan FIRST came out, I was a logger. They staged for TV drama & BS that went on with that show, I COULDN'T stand to watch it! I am like you, satellite TV, but I prefer to spend my time on YT for entertainment.
@@pnwRC. You hit that right on the nail head... "Reality" TV! I watched part of a show, with my dad, on Homesteading in Alaska. They had a tractor with a backhoe on it, a Bobcat, and 4-wheel ATVs running all over the place. My dad loudly stated, "That's just BS!!!!!!"
We homesteaded 160 acres in Alaska, the late 1940s thru the late 1950s, until the Army transferred us back to the 'States. Alaska was till a Territory then. With an old surplus Army 6X6 truck and a couple of axes, my parents and a neighbor (5 miles away) cleared enough to prove up on the claim. There were NO TV crews in sight!!
*Cymbal swell* today, Matt's Jeep will be tested to the limit! *Cinematic hit*, soft cut to Crossfade, rock music starts playing, "in the unforgiving desert of Utah, one man stands in the path of stuck off-roaders, and brings them home *hard rock starts playing*...
shout out to randy for always being ready and willing to jump in and give an extra hand when needed even if hes not part of the crew doing the recovery
I just have to say I'm sitting here in my workshop in downtown Tokyo, working by myself, trying to social distance myself watching and enjoying your videos.
Cheers
Izzat you, Stu? 😉
Just realised it was your 1 year CZcams anniversary a couple of days ago 😁👍 congratulations 🥳
Mark D yeah right?! March 28 2019. Such a great new channel.
The Can Am should have some fuel left in its fuel tank.
And I’m just noticing now, so what’s this 2 years now .... 😂😂😁👍💪
Those little girls now have a memory of an adventure they'll remember. Nicely done, Matt.
We'll get em out. Not cocky, just a completely dedicated determined crew. Attitude of a champion. Stay safe, love the videos
Ed is always unfazed, regardless of the situation! Love it!
That was so far out there you used up your three theme songs before you reached it.😃
what was the awesome guitar soundtrack ?appropriate for dire situtions
I feel you Randy, I would have a hard time just filming and not helping when I could.
Yeah, I can see myself in Randy's shoes. I would get hired to film, then by nature I would want to help but I wasn't hired for that... I get it. Tough learning curve for all. We want content Matt but you'll find your balance. Deep breaths.
Is it an insurance thing?
@@RagnarokCo thats what i wondered. He sounded half joking and half snarky serious.
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery roger understand, prolly just sounded a bit that way, just focused on the job. We all make those "serious jokes" focusing on the job.
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery I hope someday I can come and "not work" for Winder Towing for a few days. I miss that type of country. We used to live around Williams AZ close to Flagstaff and alot of your roads look really familiar.
9 yrs ago I got bucked off at the intersection where you turn west at wolf hole and head for the air strip. Shattered my collar bone in 5 pieces and broke 5 ribs. I was 65 years old at the time. I love that country. My Grandfather used to drives his cows from there to Modena to get on the train
Were you by yourself? That had to be hell! Glad you made it out cowboy!
Well, you got damn lucky! Sounds like going to hell and back. Glad you’re okay!
Fun to come back and re-watch some of the oldies but good ones and see how far your channel has improved!
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
Of a road that's dark and deep,
That started in a red rock town
Aboard a yellow Jeep
Now, Matt is a mighty towing man,
His beard is red and true.
Five passengers drove off that night
For a little job to do, just a little job to do.
The dirt road started getting rough
The yellow Jeep was bounced,
If not for luck and his 1st class crew
The Banana would be trounced, the Banana would be trounced.
The Banana proved it's ruggedness and the Can-Am was recovered
With Matt and beard
Plus Famous Ed
Jason and his wife
3 little girls
Trevor and Randy cameraman
Here on Matt's Off Road Recovery!!
As soon as I heard 3 hour tour I instantly thought Gilligan's Island must be showing my age.
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery Do you think you can get Casey to sing it?
All I want to know is where the heck was Ginger “hubba hubba” 😂
@@rkoeber Ed should sing it.
Beautiful
I think what I like about this video the most is that families willingness to jump in and go. Matt you need to get that color sketch framed and mounted on the wall of your shop. I've been on a treacherous recovery much worse than that down in Baja...just when we sat down to eat tacos..."We got a call." Much appreciated what you do; and how you are always kind.
A colleague from the company that I work told a nice frase that describes how Matt is: Be kind whenever is possible and it is always possible. He is a very good person.
I am constantly amazed at how Matt is able to tow a trailer up a road that barely qualifies as a goat trail. Matt's driving skills are unmatched by any driver that I ever met. I am postulating that the Can-Am hit a rock and broke a possibly Dry ball joint (Lack of lube), this allowed the steering knuckle to rotate precipitating total suspension failure. It is great to see your friends, cameramen, family ride along and watching the dogs run is always a pleasure. Great content, thanks for sharing with people around the planet.
Fun watching the old ones vs the new ones and seeing how your quality has increased exponentially. Good Job!
"Ive got a lighter, we can make a fire, catch a deer with the bungee rope"..Ed 2020
he reminds me of the man who taught me to build boats, sounds even just like him. pretty sure smokes the same smokes haha. but he was named Harland, not Ed haha
Ed would somehow make that happen too
Tonight, we have storms all night so I told my kids to get their favorite thunderstorm pants on. When I emerge from my Dad pupa there's no way I'm not going to be a glorious Ed in 20 years.
Oh i need that as a shirt
@@tomilindberg7124 🙋♂️🤣
Matt, time to get a couple LED floods for the back of the rig. We have those for our rally tow rig and makes loading stuff at night much more pleasant with no flashlights needed!
But then Ed wouldn't had a job anymore
Nope that would add weight
Love the "innocent kiddie antics" at the end there --- the colored-markers drawing of the recovery and Miss Smiley's turning to face the camera with a joyful beaming face and little dance :D
Making a show from your job Sir is so commendable and ya'll do it with so much style and sincerity , thank you Matt
Stay healthy Ed people need your Old school wisdom in these times!
My thoughts exactly, with the current situation Ed should be inside the shop not having random people talking straight to his face (with all due respect).
Those sweet girls had an adventure they'll always remember. Way to go!
Yeah, I love the refreshingly-innocent "kiddie-drawing of their adventure" and the adorably cute "dazzling smile" footage at the very end. :D
@Dark Angel Those adorable flaxen-heads were the children of one of Matt's co-workers; they wanted to come along on the "adventure".
Thanks for the lovely long drive though the SW of USA. Without you I would never know what that piece of the world looked like 👍👍
Thanks for another great video. They put a smile on my face in these days of home confinement. I am amazed at how up beat your crew is on these adventures. The good comradery between the members of Matt's Off Road Recovery is so enjoyable.
The girls were awesome troopers!
This is one of the few channels where I actually enjoy the music background!
Beautiful little girls. Proud momma and daddy. Everyone did a fantastic job. God bless. 👍❤️
I enjoy watching these tube recovery and have to say doing them right is all about being safe and nobody I seen has gotten hurt
Thanks so much for the wholesome and sometimes white knuckle content. My trip to Zion this spring has been indefinitely postponed because of the current health crisis but at least I have your channel. Hope everyone at Winder Towing stays safe and healthy.
Nice. 4 Wheeling is so much more fun when you are on a mission. Randy is cool.
Thanks for the videos.
You guys are awesome. Real people doing what ya gotta do to get thru the day.
OMG !!!......great recovery... the ending with that wonderful lady still has tears in my eyes !!!... how wonderful of a video to restore peoples values during a world wide pandemic !!!!!
Nice Recovery Job! 👍 I Bet this was an Expensive Bill for the Can Am Owner with ALL the Manpower and two (2) Vehicles.
?
I've ridden that road/area before...I was thinking to myself "that is the difficult way in". I was glad to see you guys decided not to backtrack!
I liked the fact that you made it home. You were mortal in this one. Lack of tie downs, short on gas, lack of familiarity, lack of food and water and still everyone looked like they had a life-long story to tell. Great job team. That pic was awesome too.
Matts expeditions put a whole new meaning to social distancing, 3 hours into the wilderness.Good man.
Great video Matt. You have a great group of friends and employees, please don’t change anything about your channel, is perfect! And of course let’s not forget about our favorite... Ed. We need your wisdom! Love from Fresno California.
I was just going to say Gilligan's island was only a three-hour tour LOL and then you said USS minnow 😂😂
Love that on the way in on that "road" Ed is ever so observant and takes notice of a turnaround spot, 2 at an odd spot on both sides of the trail!!! I would take Ed with me on all those "curious recoveries"!!! Get(bribe) him pizza, ice cream, pack of smokes, cause he sees options and knowledge to always help out! 🧐😎🤔🏞⛰🚕🔩🔧🎥🔦🧰🐐➰🧗♀️! He is a superstar💫 of your team Matt!!! Love his reckless optimism "We'll get'em out!"
Y'all rock for helping the stranded adventurees!
And yes it is Christmas break 2021 and binge watching some MORR!!!! Or MORRT OR MORRAT? Hmmm??? LOL!
01:26 Ed is no slouch, he is always next to Matt helping out some how...besides giving the weather updates
Great family adventure. Are we there yet?
Ed, "We're making good time."
Just don't know where we're going.
it was a nice afternoon for a family road trip anyway even if it went late into night.
Well, now you know that road. I love seeing everyone still laughing at the end of a hard recovery.
This is awesome! Thank god for people like you! There is nothing worse than having your machine out in the middle of nowhere all broke up with no clue how to get it out
I love it when Ed goes on recoveries with you folks right on Ed Keep On Truckin buddy
Famous first words: "So, we got a call..."
"So, we got a call..."
need t shirts need caps need coffee mugs o and a copyright :P
Please don‘t change the way you start your videos
You guys needs to make a T-shirt
“So, we gotta a call....”
Always amazed that the customer ever gets a cell signal to get help. I thought Ed was going to say" I've got my lighter, and my cigarettes, I am good to go"
Keep posting Matt this is great value for us socially isolated fans at this time.
Really appreciate you putting out daily videos lately
8:54 That's so nice --- as a reward for the little girls' being so obedient about being safe and staying out of the way, their parents allow them to go ahead and take a close look at the broken parts of the Razor --- kinda like, "You may certainly step right up beside the machine and satisfy your curiosity, just as long as Mommy and Daddy are right there with you to supervise, so that you don't get hurt." :D
Randy we want to watch otherwise I think most Boss'es would be glad you jump in and help. Jason nice Jeep, adorable family. Trevor is the comedian and you need that after awhile. Beautiful scenery till it got dark. Love Ed, "crazy guys from Utah". Then Mr. obvious "I guess you will just have to drag this tire" I would not want the bill for this. Thank you for bringing us along and all of the expense and work to get these uploaded. Hope your family and workers stay safe and healthy. My kid told me this morning what she is seeing out east and it is very sad.
My guess is Randy isn't supposed to touch or do anything for insurance purposes. I can't even imagine the mess it would create if he grabbed something to help and got injured, lost a finger or three, and insurance finds out he's not an employee of the towing company.
Shoutout for this guy, detailed and one of the best reviews. 👍
Ed, "That damn smart phone got us lost"
When one gets older, one does not do stupid things a second time. It ain’t my first rodeo.
I love how the families come along! So cool! Love Ed and his weather report as always as well as Matt’s quick wit and humor.. it’s a JEEP thing! You wouldn’t understand!! Been awhile since I had my XJ sport (two doors) lifted 4 inches on 33’s.. loved that 4x4! Such a stupid move selling it (2006- was headed to college and needed the money) after that I ended up a turbo Subaru guy and now a BMW (ha!) but watching these videos brings me back to high school and exploring off-road with my girlfriends ;) and messin around with my boys and their rigs too!
Ole Ed seems like an experienced old timer that anyone would want to have as a friend. Kinda reminds me of old Red Green from the Red Green tv show.
“We got no food “ I bet if you checked Ed’s pockets you would have found some peanut M&M’s 😱
God of Thunder why can’t blondes work at the M&M factory?
Because
they keep throwing out the 3’s, the E’s & the ₩’s
Gene Murphy I get the W. But the how does 3/E look like M
Magnus Kieler rotate E 90 degrees clockwise & 3 - 90 degrees counterclockwise
Gene Murphy They still don’t look like M
Magnus Kieler what do you call a brunette between two blondes? Interpreter What do you call a blonde who dyes her hair brown? Artificial intelligence they are blondes picked on for being dingy
8:23 Wow... the little ladies are both cute AND obedient --- they know to stay together in a tight group and stand back out of the way, and then Daddy just quietly/pleasantly tells them to move to the other side ("Come on over here, girls.") and they immediately scuttle right around the vehicle and join him! :D Good job being parents there! :D :D
These guys have the best job on earth. An adventure and a puzzle to solve on every job. I jealous as hell.
lol hat's off to the guy taking his wife and 3 kids on a 6hr off road round trip. That's one family experience that Id be happy to miss
“Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads.” - Doc Emmit Brown
In Pennsylvania that's how smooth our interstates are
True man
Ain't that the truth... and yer never wanting for venison even if it's roadkill...
I agree I am from Schuylkill County Pennsylvania. Saint Clair to be exact. Our roads are terrible!
Even that overpriced toll road.👍
I like that you guys pick up the shit that has broken off the vehicle. I wouldn't expect to see that from very many people.
Thank you. Brings back good memories when my kids where that age and we would go 4wheelling in Arizona. Now they take there kids.
I’ve been watching for about a week now. Religiously catching up so to speak. How in the hell does anyone thumbs down these videos? Entertaining as hell with content and characters. People are weird.
The Old hold it together with bailing wire! True wisdom!
How I spent my Sunday.. watching your crew rescuing vehicles from the middle of nowhere.
I like how you show that things don't always go exactly as planned.
10hrs turn around
Few hrs loading up.
That's gotta be expensive
Plus a bunch of employees
It better be expensive, that was a lot of time & special equipment
Wow, that was a long way to recover a vehicle, and with two Jeeps. That’s a big bill the owner of the buggy will be getting !
What an adventure! I’m really happy you have this channel going. It’s great entertainment and way better than network television! Keep it up!
Trevor is perfect at adding the right ammount of right kind of drama, made me smile a lot. American TV could take some lessons :-D
About the same as it’s going to cost to put that SXS back together! Lots!
Someone really should build a mobile Can Am service trailer that sells and installs front end parts. They could make bank there.
And RZR axles. They’d make a killing
@@murdadock in the dunes I see RZRs with broken front ends, no CanAms as of yet.
Alright boys all five of us should Make this a thing lol.
If you make a 200 hp sxs that can run 90 mphs offroad and put it in the hands of people that don't know how to drive it, anything and everything will break...PERIOD.
@@michaelr1760
I agree with your point. The end result of an operator's poor judgement is not the machine's fault. They do have a light duty suspension though for something this heavy that can go that fast off road.
Ed makes me smile as do those ballin' ass rims on the trailer ☺️
And now, it's perfect. On behalf of all musicians, thanks for makin' a vid with music credits. Matt and crew, you rock.
A rescue adventure WOW. That road sucks. Harder at night to. Just finding em is a chore. I gotta hand it to you guy's.Lot's of people hate the tow truck. But When your in a bad way it's Winder Towing to the rescue. Adventure and all. I was using my Winch just yesterday as I was hauling Logs for my sawmill to make lumber. got a log that was about 34'' wide by 18 feet long. Cable snapped in two. Just missed me. would have cut me right in two just a couple inches closer and I'd be dead. Stay safe you guy's
Yup, they say that the two most dangerous non-combat/non-hazardous-materials commercial jobs are deep-sea fishing and logging.
We are going to do this Lewis and Clark style! Love it! I’m and L&C nut and a Matt’s. Towing and. Recovery nut. Got it all in one video! HAHA!
Holy crap this gives a new meaning to "pull over i got take a piss" one wrong step and its lights out
Watching this channel it makes it really clear where the failure point is on these side by sides
This to me is unbelievable... I live the the UK, Derbyshire to be exact, and I broke down 15 miles from my house.. It took my breakdown recovery 6 hours to get to me.. You live+work in one of the biggest states in America and you still get to your customers faster than mine did.. Fantastic.. Amazing..
Never be without Baling wire and Duck tape. It amazes me you ever find these wrecks.
John McCaughan it’s like the saying “if it can’t be fixed with cable ties or duck tape your obviously not using enough”.
Tom Penman Don’t forget Vise Grips!
@@tompenman7070 I saw a buddy's trail fix for a snapped tie rod. Held together with exactly that cables ties and duct tape. Got the rig home on its own power even if limping.
We wait it) “So we got a call “))) Greetings from Russia, sir!
Just by your videos, I could see how it would be easy to get lost or make a wrong turn out there! Especially at night!
That picture that little one drew was FANTASTIC!! Best part of the whole vid!!
U have a great group of guys for the trip
Love the videos Matt, keep em coming buds!!!
its a damn can-am matt, get it right !!!! keep up the good work !!!!
So I've been off work because I just had shoulder surgery and saw one or two videos......now I'm binge watching!!! I had just told my daughter they should call the channel "So we just got a call"! I love it! I want to plan a vacation and got to Utah now! Oh and I'm buying an old XJ too...not really😂
Matt, you should modify your trailer (I'm sure you've heard that 1000 times) to include a 3rd ramp. I think you have room for it, and it would allow you to use one under each wheel and the 3rd under whatever the lowest body/suspension part is. Would also allow flexibility when you really need to switch from one spot to another halfway through loading. Just an idea... Great videos and I really enjoy watching.
But where is the drama then? You can't fix the stuff that makes it touch and go. (Said mostly with tongue in cheek)
That was for sure a family "road" trip!
I guess that's why I watch your videos: besides the beautiful scenery, it's a real life adventure every trip!
love the background music and I'm glad you brought it back with volume.
Best part of that video:
*Picks-up mirror and broken plastic*
"Garbage"
*Throws it in the SxS*
Thanks for taking care of the land!
Ed was scared he was running low on smokes hahah
This particular video is one of my favorite. Even the most professional can have a few shortsighted moments. Glad you guys came home without issue. Not having supplies is scary the moment you realize you might need them.
I'm sure those beautiful young ladies are going to remember that night for a long time. As always good job. Well done 👍.
This wasn’t a tow/recovery this was an expedition.
Edd is wise in his years. Lol God bless
Greetings rough recovery but " so far so good" and with a good company of friends. Job done.👍👍👍💪💪☺
you guys have such fantastic roads in your country, even city roads are as big as highways in my country!!!
Those three little country girls are gonna grow up fine, surrounded by rural family love and good old country upbringing with these adorable hicks. When these girls finally make it to college someday, they're gonna kick ass and outsmart any every slick mealy-mouthed city girl out there, and they'll have priceless stories to tell about a grampa Ed and so many uncles Matt, Jason, Trevor, Erik, etc. back home in country. This channel REALLY makes you feel good about old conservative Americana..and it doesn't even have one molecular bit of politics in its entire content. Trust me, it's not gonna take too long before the Smithsonian Institute takes notice. Great job, Winder Towing!
Can-Am for sale - lightly used, recently serviced.
"That darn smart phone got us lost not the driver." Ed Love it!
He must be thanking his lucky stars that you came and saved him from that location. Well done
