We got a call for a brand new Honda Talon that crashed at the dunes!
We took Tims Jeep to try and get some new camera angles of what it takes to get the trailer in and out of the dunes.
The dunes are a net climb on the way in, with a few big drops, that must be climbed while loaded coming back out!
Also, the wind shifts the sand around so they are never the same, sometimes in the same day!

I genuinely appreciate when Matt "pulls back the curtain" a little, and waxes philosophical about his methods and means. That sort of candor is rare, and adds to the enduring charm of the channel. Keep it up, sir.

Hi Matt , I discovered your recoveries on you tube recently and am in awe of the skills you demonstrate. Those sitting at home have no idea how difficult your recoveries are, I certainly don't. You and your crew and family work wonders clearing up the mess people cause in their pursuit of adventure. I appreciate that if you dont pick up the vehicles and wrecks from your extreme and beautiful parks ,they would not be like that for very long . Keep up the great work you do and wish you and your team all the best. Stay safe in your hazardous world and ignore those that always think they know better..

@AZ_HikerBiker 4 года назад

In the video the jump box is visible on the trailer at 14:29 but not at 14:30 so it probably fell off the trailer during the time in between... when there is no video of course. :-( I've been known to leave things unsecured myself (and yep, more so as I age) so of course I wondered where the jump box usually stored/secured. Tossed somewhere inside the Jeep or in the box at the front of the trailer?

@johnwalker7592 4 года назад

Im from Florida. So not many dunes to speak of.. But our ground is sugar sand. Either sand or mud.. Most people don't understand that a tall tire is helpful. But it's actually the footprint you really wanna widen. You wanna prevent as much "pushing aside" with sand as possible. And wanna float across the top. The more area you've got spreading the load, the better. An of course less weight.

@calvinh.8882 4 года назад

Heck, I'm impressed with your trailer because I know what to takes to make recoveries, not in that type of sand, but in Florida sand, and I know that a 2000+lb.trailer with a full ramp gate, is hard to get through some of the Florida sands and that's when it's empty, then once you put another 1200-1500+lbs on it, then you're having to pull well over 3000lbs. So I kinda know what it would take to get it to places you take that one, and one truck or Jeep isn't going to do it. Anyways, you know what works, and you built that to do what you needed it to do, and it works. And it working is all that matters.

I really enjoy your videos, seeing how you do the jobs and marvelling at the scenery (I am from East Anglia in the UK). I have often seen the comments stating that there are technologies that would make your job easier so I really appreciate your explanations for the choices that you have made for your trailer. Watching you struggle to line up these vehicles with wheels at all angles or not there at all reminds me of when I did a little bit of recovery work and a really handy tool is a small pulley that can be hung over the winch cable and clipped to the side of the trailer in order to pull to one side or the other. It only weighs 2 or 3lb. I realise that the lightweight construction of your trailer may not be substantial enough to hold one though so please ignore this suggestion; I am in no position to try to teach you anything at all. Best wishes to all of you.

I think you're being a little hard on yourself Matt - when you have mangled suspensions/subframes it'd be near impossible to drag up straight on a trailer anyway...

@longrider8265 4 года назад

For sure these wrecks won’t pull straight - heck the fact they stay more or less together is good

I drove a Toyota Landcruiser jeep for 5 years in the Sahara desert. Toyotas were the only thing you could get parts for. Had a smallish 4 cylinder diesel in it. Somewhat underpowered, but we had the same kind of sand. Your only weapon to get over a dune was speed and if you had to slow down for something, you weren't going to make it. No trees, so eventually I removed the giant winch that had been put on it to lighten it and we just used sand plaques and a shovel. Mine were old military steel runway planks. Enjoy watching how y'all work through the various obstacles, problems and situations that come along. Keep it up and get er done!!

I'm a design engineer and I must say, for the job, that is almost a perfect trailer. Not an inch too long or too wide. The ramps are long enough to load things easily, but short enough so they can be repositioned after the first set of wheels are on the deck. The inverted axles and tandem wheels are excellent. The only thing I can see that could be improved is to mount the winch higher, so it continues to draw the load onto the trailer without sucking it down. But that takes more metal, and puts a larger bending moment on the trailer, which then requires more metal. So I fully understand the tradeoffs. Nicely designed. Nicely executed.

I don't really know why it is so satisfying to watch your videos and how you do your job or hobby, keep doing what you do and also what ever works for you may not work for everyone else your trailer is awesome and thanks for your time

Having built, modified and towed many kinds of trailers, I can honestly say that this one is absolutely perfect for it's use. It is AWESOME. It is light and strong and can carry or recover most normal types of off-road vehicles. It gets an AAA++++ in my book. When you added the pintle hook & safety chains on the front, a new winch /control and cable, I added two more A's and two more more plusses. The aluminum ramps make excellent prybars loading demolished Razers with no steering.

@nullrout556 4 года назад

Matt, I dig your videos and love the way you have to tell your self to say things in a non-sarcastic way. I think we'd get along great because I have to do the same thing. I lived in St George for a little bit and understand how people have zero comprehension of what you're going through. They think they do because they drove on the beach one time in Florida. That dune sand is so fine it's barely sand anymore. Try driving over a pile of flour the size of your house and you'll see why light is the way to go. Keep pulling 'em out an filming it!

People who think they're smart and an "expert" on everything are really just ignorant. The first time I saw that trailer I knew it was purpose built. It's got a really high bed for clearance and articulation in rough terrain and obviously light as hell so it minimizes bogging you down. You adapt your equipment for the conditions you work in.

@cageordie 4 года назад

So... that went end over end? Both ends are smashed in. I guess it hit hard on the front first, hard enough to smash the wheels right off. I guess it came right off the top of the dune airborne?

@thedudeisnotin 4 года назад

cageordie I wonder if Matt is checking for blood and fingers when he’s looking inside these unattended wrecks. Gotta wonder how it got wrecked! Side by sides basically look ready to fall apart anyways lol!

@philduoos2961 4 года назад

It would be interesting if Matt could reconstruct some of these crashes - but that might be a little too impolite for him. And I imagine a lot of it would just be guessing like we are! I'm thinking those things can be going fast, are light, and who knows how far it rolled from? (Okay, just looked at some crash videos - scary!).

Matt: I pull a dump trailer with a battery to operate the hydraulic ram Got tired of having to hand unload when the battery died. My solution was to install welding cable from the truck battery to the rear bumper with twist lock connectors . Now I just disconnect the trailer plug , connect the hot cable insure ground and you have power all the time without that elusive jump box coming into the equation or Ed forgetting to load it up. Really enjoy your channel. Bob from Ocala Florida

@torbenalstrup3902 4 года назад

Hello. Nice footage on tricky rescues. Your reasoning behind the trailer is spot on. The ONLY addition that I can think of to make it better than it already is, is to add electric or hydraulic engines to the front axle of it. That can help quite a bit when you are crawling in difficult - and soft terrain. At speeds over 10 mph they are worth less though. Somewhat engine dependant though. It will naturally come at a little weight cost, but I do think the extra climb and pull capacity will make it worth the slightly heavier rig. When I was a young man we installed 2 25 hp hydraulic engines to each front wheel of a 2 axle slurry wagon (20 Ton capacicy.) It made a tremendeus difference in getting through soft or muddy spots. If they were activated juuust before you got stuck in a mudhole it was often possible to pull through without coming to a halt, or if we did come to a halt it was often possible to "rock" it out because the front axle helped smooth the way so to speak. Just an idea for ya :-)

Never sweat snarky comments about how you get in or out of a situation. Those who don't drive off-road, never figure on getting stuck (or how to get out) and we hope they never do, so you can keep filming.

I find it very interesting to see how people do things, everyone has a different method and who am I to say that any one is wrong? Besides I really enjoy the humor that you guys display even when things are tough 😎 I love the videos, keep up the good work 😎
