Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
I love how when they first get there and Ed goes right to work picking up all the trash. Great job Ed.
He does that on almost all of the recoveries everybody else is standing around yah yakking while he's going to work
This reminds me of a story told by a coworker who had recently become a volunteer firefighter in his small town. He was normally a very high-energy kind of person, and one day he was sort of dragging around the office... when asked if he was okay, he said that he'd been up most of the night because he'd gotten his first call out to fight a house fire. When asked how it went, he proudly proclaimed, "Well, we saved the slab (foundation)!"
I joined the local volunteer fire company when I was 14(1993). I fell asleep in school a lot after that. Also seen a lot of things I wish I could forget. 😮😢
Really impressed with the time you guys devoted to cleaning up all that waste/debris and then hauling it out of there. You guys are not only good at what you do but you always do the right thing. Well done.
They don't want the trails closed down. If people leave junk and trash the state will close the trails down.
I've watched a few videos where Matt has picked up someone else's trash left on a trail. ❤
That sculpture of the solidified metal is unique! Something to hang in the workshop!
this channel must be a nightmare for RZR's marketing department.
Just as they finish loading the smoldering hulk on the trailer, an ad comes on for Can-Am. I'm like: "Yeah, between all the broken suspensions and burning to the ground, THIS is what I want to go out in the desert in!"
Give me an old fashioned Jeep.
That's what I was thinking
@@61rampy65 . I live in Australia.
People die in the desert here.
So I don't go at all.
My 4wd is for working.
It needs the gearbox replaced ATM though
CZcams literally showed me an ad for a RZR before this video
The dunes after a sketchy sushi buffet is not where I’d wanna be lol
Your username makes this comment even better
Why it’s not like anyone is gonna have to clean up the mess you leave haha, unlike that shady gas station that got destroyed 🤠
I would love to see a biopic or some sort of "Day with Ed" and have him talk about mining and his life. Maybe it is just me, but love seeing and hearing about Ed.
I'm waiting for the Ed and Papa Dar show.
So much yes
"Tales With Ed" segment coming when?
That man could probably write a book and sell a million copies just telling his stories.
Your not on your own I think he has lived quite a bit.
Matt - Rudy you puked here when you where 4.
Rudy - I'll have the sushi
For sale, one RZR engine. This thing is HOT. Low mileage. Only serious buyers.
Good frame available separately
No low-ball offers!! I know what I have!! Bet it's already on KSL for triple it's actual value.
If it's on KSL, he's already been contacted by a guy that will send him a check for 4000 dollars, and he's going to send one of his "shippers" to come pick it up and deliver it to Texas.
Factory new take off RZR frame for sale, replaced with full race chassis, even freshly painted to fix any minor scratches from disassembly! My cost is your savings! (Paint may not match factory color) 😁
1gently used Razor
Ed sure ain't afraid of rolling up his sleeves and getting the work done!
at 60, I find that kind of bending over work to be exhausting. I don't know how Ed does it. In the heat no less.
Ed is The Man!! He has clearly worked hard his whole life and has no intentions of changing that just because he has a few years on him!!
@@bob-who-must-not-be-named8522 , how old is Ed ??
Those old-timers know what hard work is.
@@BenDover-069 80 something, I believe.
Oh man, Matt telling Rudy the story about puking at the start, and the look Rudy gives him.... LOL! I love it
Parenting gold star for Matt!
@@andrewb9590 wait what rudy is his son?
@@thunderbear0 Yes.
@@johnhpalmer6098 i thought he moved here from Canada
@@thunderbear0 No, I think he lived in Canada or someplace for a while. I think if you go back and take a look, there are photos of him with family with him in his teens.
Love how you guys cleaned up all the debris afterwards. Good group of guys (and Gal) all the way around.
That RZR had everything but a fire extinguisher.
Or seats, or shocks, or coil overs, suspension in general. Insurance fraud much.
My machine is equipped with a large fire extinguisher for when I ride with friends who have RZRs.
@@nimluk melted?
Those question from the insurance company. Why didn't you have a fire extinguisher and how did your new 400.00 spare tire get in the back seat of the can am. Lol
It also had my entire firearms collection, and a safe full of gold that I take everywhere I go ;)
It had all the options, except a fire extinguisher.
Lol😂😂😂🌮
Was just going to say that lol
lots of dumbasses in this world that think they to good for an extinguisher
Right. All the bells and whistles and no fire extinguisher
who would the fire extinguisher be for, the RZR or the crew after the Sushi Buffet.
"I'd like to take a moment for appreciation...". I thought Matt was going to say some nice words about the death of a RZR... But no... He appreciates that the carcass slid right up on the ramps without a hitch...
Like a true recovery man... I raise my drink for you Matt!
Ha ha ha ha ha .. that made me laugh😂😂😂
@Hello David how are you doing
Nothing much nice anyone could say about one of those "useless" devices, only good thing is all the money Matt make picking wrecked ones up out of the desert...
Same...same
You guys are amazing stewards of the land, thank you!
That's some serious RZR burn right there... Gotta go get a fresh new RZR
Bwahahahahaha
I have no idea why there’s 109 dislikes. There’s nothing but to like this channel. Keep up the good work Matt. Make your living.
Be safe out there helping with the mudslide in Mt Zion. Looking forward to the footage you all get
I liked the aluminum "Seahorse". I'd hang that on the shop wall for sure. 👍🏼
Things that have be in or on fire are bad juju, you don't want it in your shop.
Ed gets right on the clean up. He's the man !
Ahhh, true-blue ED, you can always count on him! I love it when Ed comes along.
Should put a rolling tube on the end of that trailer
It’s called a rolling tail board, in the oil field
Even a very short dovetail would help a lot.
Thinking same thing. They make them to retrofit trailers with a little modifications
All kinds of advice has been given on this trailer, but anything that adds weight gets rejected.
That would make too much sense and they don't have any.
Ed rippin heaters gives me so much joy. Love Ed so much
Like a good father, Matt remembers every embarrassing moment in his son's life!
Ed is the father of Rudy not matt - Matt is the father of the camera guy
Matt is rudy's father? This cant be possible unless Matt knocked someone up at like 13
Lmao idk why but I read that first part my natural thought was “State Farm is there”
Matt is Rudy's Dad, Ed is a family friend.
@@MarylandResident Rudy is 21. Matt is early 40s. Easy shit
Matt, I would recommend adding an arch like they have on those home made "log trailers". It would be really handy for lifting those razers up and onto the trailer. Given rudy's welding skills, it would be something pretty easy to make/install. If you use pins to anchor it, you can easily remove it too as needed.
I would describe it as a folding A Frame. 5 pieces of pipe. 4 legs and one top cross member. The top cross member would have a roller in the middle for the winch line to go over. The top cross member would be about 4-5 feet off the trailer bed which would be enough to give enough vertical lift to come over that trailer end.
Or more simple would just be like a "headache" rack on the front of the trailer going side to side over the winch and box that is there now. The winch line would be straight up over the "headache" rack. The headache rack would only need to be about 4-5 feet tall and have that roller in the middle.
I can only imagine the damage you did by not using the soft shackles.
Looks like Matt doesn't care about damage anymore.😂😂
what do you mean .. i didn't see one scratch on the paint .. lol
I didn't see one paint on the scratch.
I didn't see any paint.
Hey Matt, Having been in that situation before, I unhooked the trailer, chocked the tires, and let the front of the trailer lift to get rear clearance. My son has a low rider , hard to
load..
A high-lift jack would be the perfect tool to add for these trailer jobs. Something is always gettin’ stuck.
He don't need no jack. That's why God made kids. Rudy, grab that and lift it as much as you can ...
great in a emergency and way out of no where.
they are super dangerous though.
A high lift is way to heavy for Matt to even consider carrying. I mean he doesn't carry a basic tool kit or spare tire. He's a first class improviser though!
The only heat resistant part on that whole thing is the exhaust apparently.
Crazy right? Who woulda thought? 😀
Just a thought, I've watched a lot of your videos using this trailer for this type of recovery, and it occurred to me that putting a full width roller (conveyer style) across the rear of this trailer would greatly help in this type of recovery while not adding much weight. For what it's worth. God bless and stay well.
The same thought occurred to me. Something like the roller on the back of a drift boat trailer.
Archimedes: Give me a fulcrum and a long enough lever and I will move the world.
Matt: Give me a banana and loading ramp and we'll get it out.
Some folks like their off road vehicles well-done. Bacon Crispy.
mmm bacon
Aint that a fact....😂😂😂😂
We gauge how a person likes their side-by-side burnt by the way they eat their bacon yeah my sister's probably the one that caused that lol JK but she loves her bacon absolutely f****** crispy and it drives me nuts I don't want my bacon chewy I don't want to have to struggle to pull it apart but I want to be able to chew my bacon instead of crumbling it apart with my teeth I mean after all we're supposed to chew food but when it's crunchy like that it just breaks apart instead of getting chewed up
@@Dan007UT 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 it wasn't the other guys comment that made me sad it was yours because I want some bacon now and I forgot to cook mine last week before it went bad and I got to go grocery shopping here in the next hour LOL
The big chunk of aluminum reminded me of a service station that had burnt down, then rebuilt. I stopped at the new one for a snack and hanging on the wall behind the cash register was a chunk of aluminum with gears stuck in it, it had been an impact wrench that got melted in the fire.
How about having a stand with a roller that they could put on the trailer and create a higher angle for the winch cable to pull from. So they would pull up instead of down.
An old steel tire rim would work well. Just have to figure out a way to secure it to the trailer.
That trailer has alot to be desired in my opinion
My thought exactly.
@@randyfears415 that trailer is designed to one principle. Keep it as light as possible.
It's a sacrifice for being able to do what he does out in powder sand, otherwise he would bring the roll back lol
He always carries the minimum gear for a recovery, and has such a small and sparse trailer, it's all about keeping the weight at a minimum so he can float on the sand.
My thoughts too he should of had the other Jeep run a rope clear over the top and stood that rzr up on 2 whe
Hey MOR, ever consider adding a deployable “A-frame” to the trailer? Like a wrecker tow truck, to lift the load at a higher angle with the winch.
But super simple-MOR style. Two posts/tubes and three bolts/fasteners, stash them with the ramps on the trailer or leave them at home…. your thoughts? (Maybe for a morrvair trailer mark 2.0?)
Old Ed just gets to work cleaning up. What a guy.
NICE TO SEE MORE OF ED!!!! HE’S A NATURAL…..HE NEVER HAD TO GO TO ACTING SCHOOL !!! 👍👍👍👍👍
They really need to build a tilt back trailer!
more weight = no go
I think an over-arm bar made of square tube might let them lift those razors from the ground right onto the trailer.
At least a set of gin poles at the front, get a higher angle, lay down along the sides
Or at least a 3rd ramp for the center.
It would just need a 3” flat bar at 45⁰ Angle at the end. That would stop all the things catching at the lip of the trailer.
I'm with Luther Hendricks. I have installed 4 inch roller i found form a local door factory , across the back end of my trailer. Helps with winch getting stuck on the trailer , cars with flat tires , or a car the is just to low all together . I could see how it can really help you guys in most of your side by side recoveries.
At least he has a fresh start with a semi used frame
Heat Damage will likely have changed dimensions and stressed joints
Heat treated 😅
Overhead shots of the banana quickly passing… dramatic music ending upon arrival at the scene. You guys are becoming next level.
You always clear up as much as possible with fires - is that to protect the park / environment ?
Leave no trace… Not really most people’s attitude but it should be.
Did anybody else notice how excited and happy Ed got when he was talking about the mines at like 45 seconds
"And we didn't even have to steer it" LOL LOL LOL Rudy brought gloves YEAH
Matt also brought gloves but never used them. Go figure!
Glad that was two days AFTER the fire, from what I've seen, Matt doesn't seem to be too careful about touching stuff that's really hot. Safer this way!
"This thing had it all. "
....Except a fire extinguisher.
Ed never has to be asked to work. He just does. I doubt anyone would complain if he just watched, but apparently, hard work is part of his DNA.
"A little hazy today" must be smoke from the RZR fire, lol.
Wow that's crazy glad no one was hurt , and yes it looked like a sea horse lol
Whole new meaning to Hot Wheels! 🔥Loved the Craigslist ads! I will look those up today! 🤣 Great fun video! ❤️🐞
U sure look like that gal from it's a bugs life. :)
@@mikecon7634 - that’s me! Bug from it’s a Bug’s life! Now with a new name. The XJ is named the “Grey Goat” so “Goat Off-Road”
This message is for Matt!!!!!!
Just a suggestion you should think about putting bed rollers on the back of your trailer
It might help on those struggle situations where you fall off the ramp
You do very well with what you have just wanted to make a suggestion
I really appreciate that you clean up, that's amazing!
That's what they get paid for
@@masterbates7016 Not everyone actually does it, though.
At the end of your ramp storage nearest the winch place 36in square tube with a roller for the winch line , this would help with some of your recovery’s.
Lol, every good parent has a trove of embarrassing stories about their kids! We were in the same restaurant when my 17 year old was five. She started talking to the bus boy in Spanish. It was then we realized she was watching WAY too much Dora!😂
She’s learned a second language by watching a television program and you think she watched too much?
Thinking out loud. Put a 3-4 foot tall box tube post with a hinged mount at the back of the trailer with a chain slot on the top of it. Run a chain over the top and pull with the winch. It will lift and pull the load at the same time. Ideally it would be in a receiver mount or something of that nature with a few spots to attach it as you move forward so you can continue lifting until the load is significantly on the trailer.
Stand your spare tire at rear of trailer and run winch line over the top, thereby lifting up the razor and easy to load!!
Damnit Ed! When Matt tells you to step back, YOU STEP BACK! 😂😂😂😜 I kid, I kid. Lol
After a meal like that, you need a porta john on that trailer
That dead fish will sit nice in stomach on a hot sandy summer day. Bring the emergency paper towels. The quicker picker upper.
Matt, I know how much you love "You oughta's" but a roller on the back edge of that trailer would be nice.
Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.
"Go Ridgemont, Beat Lincoln!"
Yall should a trailer make over after your done with the banana! Where you change the winch and redo that rat's nest and add a roller so the winch cable is high up. you could make it either detach or fold down and make the ramps slide in and out of the trailer so you dont have to lift them out everytime and they will be more solid
I'm surprised that Matt didn't burn his hand on it. He touches anything hot 🔥
Thank you for flying the American Flag on your rig!
That melted hunk of metal reminded me of a badly deformed Ferrari prancing horse
Or a profiled dragon...fitting....
giraffe
You have leverage on your side Matt, not force. Love you guys, thanks for being awesome
I think we need a deep-dive in to the history of Ed.
Matt talks about Ed in one of my videos when I go on a recovery with Matt and the Banana. And yes, I would love for Matt to do a Tell-All about Ed 😁
Ed working away with that smoke in his mouth reminds me of my late grandfather. He would cough around his smoke with pincered lips rather than stop what he is doing to grab it out to have a good blast. He would do a stalling "hoomff---hoomff---hoomff---hoomff---hoomff" until he got to the end of a row of fork digging in his potato patch. Then he would pluck his rolley out, stoop a little bit, take a deep breath and have a good chimney clean. By that time the smoke would have gone out and he would have to use half a box of matches to relight it. His favourite rolley tobacco was Capstan and Champion Ruby.
The main take away from watching this channel is, never-ever waste your money on a side by side.
20k up in smoke!
Just pick the right brand, and take care of it.
That RZR actually makes me kinda sad. I can't speak for the owner of that machine, but I know that if it were mine it would be a devastating loss. It would represent a dream "toy" that I wanted for just about my whole life, and had to work years to save up for... just going up in flames in a matter of minutes. Heartbreaking. Years of overtime, skipping out on vacations, eating top ramen... And poof 💥🔥 It's gone. Just to put things into perspective.
I sure hope they had insurance and that it helps them replace it. Great video no matter what. Thanks for sharing, Matt and team!
How's about a couple 3 or 4 of big rollers on back of trail to stop things from hanging up on back of trail ?
Yes in between the ramp..it's called a tail roll..it would help..
@@icaruseffect4072 it if it adds weight, it ain’t going to happen.
"How about a couple few many 23 or 69 or 16 or twelve ?"
Not much left after they burn 😱
Always amazes me how hot they burn to melt all the aluminum parts. Have come across a number of them out on the trail, always the same globs of melted aluminum and a steel frame.
Guess that's why I have a fire extinguisher on mine 😉
Nice job picking up 👍👍
I agree with many of the previous comments, you need to think about adding something to the back of the trailer to help slide broken things on. Maybe a little sloped piece that helps get it on the trailer.
Ohh baby can't wait I got my coffee ready and everything!
Razors.. the bread and butter of Matt's recovery.
Rudy's (new?) motto: "It's fair. I came prepared!"
@Hello Bryan how are you doing
i have never seen a SxS so completely burnt to the ground hope everybody was ok and had insurance , nice clean recovery/cleanup 👍
Next thing, Rudy's gonna post on Craigslist is air guitars and air drums. And then people are gonna be mad when they realize they bought a box of air! 🤣 🎸 🥁
Oooofff extra crispy! I could see some angled trim piece that bolts onto to the back of the trailer being useful for these wheel-less recoveries. Or even just bringing a sheet of plywood for side by sides, maybe with a few holes for straps. Get the vehicle onto the plywood and then have a bridle off the plywood to skid it up the ramps. Just ideas. Looks like this works okay enough to get it done too.
That will buff right out…🤣
Wow, that's one smokin' Rzr! I love the melted aluminum Tim found, it's very artistic!
I think Rudy alluded to it but didn't elaborate, what caused it to catch fire in the first place?
Global warming
@@noahorr3480 lmaooo
Glass windshield
fire breathing dragons of doom
Heat, combined with flammable materials.
Amazing progression of video content and quality. Love the added comments and arrows. Desert dwelling RZR becomes ocean dwelling seahorse. To the winch wench. (From Never Ending Story, like desert dumb dumbs for Matt and crew to rescue).
The RZR had everything added , except a fire extinguisher..
3:52 I love how the entire thing is burned and melted almost beyond recognition, the plastics are completely gone, the engine is nothing but a puddle, and the exhaust pipes are just sitting there, looking completely fine, like nothing happened. They sure design them to handle the heat well, haha
Put it on Craigslist. Slightly used Razor Smoke free with free light bar! LOL
@@redrider7730 LOL
Cool video, thanks team! As usual, amazing scenery and footage from all perspectives. Two other highlights for me- great to see CSI Utah in attendance at the scene 😎 And at about the 5:20 mark, I honestly thought Matt was going to say a few sincere words of rememberance to honour the fallen side by side as it began it's final journey onto the trailer 🤣
"what kind of tires are those Rudy"
Answer should have been... "Firestone"
🤣😂🤣😂👌
Trail-blazers…
I know who to call when I'm up on the
Arizona strip and something goes south, these guys are great 👍
C'mon Rudy, those are clearly Firestone tires.
Rudy's the hardest worker.
Ed's the most level headed.
Jamie keeps the boat afloat.
Lizzy is the best tempered filly I've seen.
And Matt's the man.
A great crew.
Will one of those ropes fit in the back of my TJ? What size do I need?
Send RZR to Fab Rats for a future rebuild. His son will be outgrowing the go kart soon!
wall art for the office shop was about all that was left. Matt needs to design simple "snap on" tripod hoist for the winch. Yes, add it to the list. Paul probably has one : )
It’s always good to have a hy-lift jack for miscellaneous assistance
When I worked for Union Pacific I drove a Jeep Cherokee company to between tracks in Fife Yard in Washington State. Various people drove them and they were driven hard and put away wet, so to speak. I asked the trainmaster if he knew how fast they could go in reverse. With forehead in hand, he asked, “How fast will they go in reverse?” “They will go as fast as they go in low.” “How fast will they go in low.” “They’ll do 45 mph in low, between 7 and 8 track.” I won’t tell where the conversation went after that🤪. Those Cherokees are durable!
It DOES look like a seahorse…modern art!
The last time Rudy ate there he got sick (age 3). Next visit he gets "passable" sushi. Livin on the edge!!
That shiny thing almost looks like Norway if you had flipped left to the right.
that shiny thing is a puddle of aluminum that was once the engine.....
Now it’s art & expensive at that
Matt have you ever considered making the trailer into a tilting trailer. I've converted a few in the past You need 4 ft of the steel box that is the same as the drawbar and 4 pieces of 3/8 or 1/2 plate plate, 2 x 3/4 bolts and nuts A foot of tube to suit the bolts. So basicly you you mount the pieces of plate either side of the frame just forward of the wheels with the box section below it, with box section welded to the back of the drawbar using the bolts and tube as a hinge come pivot point. Then mount or fabricate a bolt/latch on the top of the drawbar that goes into a piece of plate with the appropriate sized hole in the front face of the deck/frame hole. similar to a sliding bolt style gate/barn door latch. one for each rail of the drawbar. That gives you security. now to lift the deck you use a bottle jack from a harbor freight portable engine crane. They are sold separately. They have a pivot on the bottom so as you raise the front of the deck they will tilt back. They have quite a bit of travel. This will give about 35* of angle to the trailer and thats all you need to stop most protrusions on the bottom of the towed vehicle catching on the back edge of the deck as the poor bbq ed RZR did. So this mounts vertically on the inside of one of the drawbar rails.. then you can make a limiting chain or rod. then its all done.
Ed was about to lift the front end of that thing if Matt hadn’t stopped him.
At one time in the recent past, I considered buying one of those off-road machines. But after seeing many of Matt's videos, all I would use it for is taking on a golf course. :-) As for Ed, I hope he knows how much viewers are inspired by him. He's a keeper for sure. I hope I can get around as good as Ed when I'm his age (about 15 years from now).
