Wow, that guy is better at backing up than more people are driving forward!

A similar thing happened to me. These wet planted pine forests were once cypress forests. I got hung up an an ancient cypress stump. we did not know it and pulled it with everything we had but it would not budge. We dug all around and found the stump, jacked up the truck and cut some of it out with a chainsaw. The saw was half in the water and it kept dying. We would dry it out and cut some more. After 2 days of digging and cutting we were finally able to pull it out.

You got yourself one special lady. I dont think Im tough enough to trample through mud and water day in and day out. I also like you alls low key approach to the videos. You dont try to seem like a youtube star and imho that is what makes you one! Humility is key. You should have 1M followers.

That Gladiator has pulled a lot of heavy rigs. Lots of stress on the frame, axles, transfer case, and driveshafts. I’m impressed with how well it’s holding up.

I like this channel no corny jeep vs message. Its just vehicles getting stuck and getting help

Nine minutes into posting there’s 200 and something views and when I’m done watching the video there’s over 700. Job well done

Just started watching this channel they do a great job but I I'm amazed at these guys going out on trails like that without proper recovery gear been playing in Florida since 79 winches and mud tires along with a good recovery rope are required equipment

I hit a stump once. Got free gas for life. Darn thing bent the fuel tank and the gauge always read full after that.

That Jeep does really well for its size and equipment. I would suggest a removable A frame for the front and/or back bumper, if possible to brace it, with a snatch block at the apex, about hood high, or higher. Also, having a 40 inch, or so, tractor rim to put under the cable, close to the vehicle being pulled out, so as to lift it some would help. This truck was hung up on an old tree root, or rock, or something foreign buried in the mud. Nice job.

Can't get enough of these videos! Keep them coming and may 2024 be even better than 23 for you and your's and the business!

This happened to me many years ago, but it was a cross tie someone had used in the bog to gain traction. My K5 pushed it sideways perpendicular when I went in the bog. High centered on it for 3 days. Blew the motor and transmission among other things.

Dad did a good job following your jeep backwards. Most people have no clue how to help the pulling vehicle with the front wheels of the following vehicle.

More throttle early whenever things get sticky keeps you out of trouble!

Can u do a vid about what all mods done to your jeep please bad ass good job

Anyone who has ever had a little fun off-road knows there is a fine line between the fun and sinking it to the frame. I’ve had to be rescued on a few occasions, and have rescued others. It’s just part of the game.

I bet that f150's transfer case is in pieces inside.

Without finishing the video, I believe the shaft from the transfer case broke and dropped down, digging in, in order to slide his truck!

I’m glad to see I made the right choice a couple months ago. Bought my first jeep, a 2022, 3.6L, 4.10 diffs and it’s also a gladiator. Haven’t gone anywhere too extreme yet though. I just hope to in the near future. Don’t think I’ll try swimming with it. lol. Does good in snow.

High centered on bubba’s 3 wheeler he buried in 1984 😂

I'm not sure if this would help make yourself metal chocked blocks, but add a slot for a piece of thick rebar around 3 foot hammer in the ground kept me from sliding.

It's a Ford, should have left it in there...lol Is that an 8 cylinder in your Gladiator? Doesn't sound like a V6, unless you have a killer exhaust system on there. Sounds really good!

I seen your gladiator on the highway. I wondered if you would be on RU-vid, a little search and I found you guys, love the mud!

Came out once the front axle unlocked.

To me, that sounded like something in the drive train was bound up! Sure, the rear was in reverse, but possibly the front end was locked up? When it broke loose, it was definitely a mechanical sound unbinding. IMO

That little Jeep is pretty amazing.

We got an itch stick similar to this truck the suction off the mud prevented it from being pulled out. It took a tractor to lift it which broke the suction and then it came right out.

Ole Ford just didn't want to hook up no traction at all 4 wheel drive comes in handy when it's not broken 😮😊😊😊

Best "Florida Man" channel ever.

With a muffler like that I'm surprised he got stuck.

It sucks when your 4x4 broke and you’re out in the mud. Always have recovery gears with you like traction board with you. That’s what we do when we go overland.

Im new to the area. Glad I know who to call if I get my Passat stuck in a pothole. 😅

If the front or rear isn't turning a tire the drive shaft could be shoved in the ground and preventing it from moving

Why the heck does anyone think it's fun to drive in the SWAMP? What a mess and so unrewarding in my opinion. However silly it seems, It's bread and butter for Florida off road. Well Done.

If the good old boy wants to play in that mud! Invest in a front locker and a good winch. Great to see you got help. God Bless

You need an ⚓ in the groung hooked to the winches,that way you can use both winches to pull

You the man. I call you any time. No matter the Stuckey situation 😂

That’s pretty awesome how that ford in reverse could push that Jeep out of the swamp. Just goes to show you that you can’t beat a Ford and a stiff rope!

this reminds me of some of the trails we have here on the kenai peninsula here in alaska in the spring when all the snow melts off..for sure no stranger to the term.." stuck like chuck" good fun till one gets stuck really bad.but thats the thrill of it especially doing the mystery creek trail which is the ultimate test of the fortitude of man and machine.

Looks like the transfer box has broken up inside or a drive shaft has snapped

Nice seeing a daylight recovery. What was he stuck on? Stump? Mechanical issues? Great channel, great technical knowledge and ability. A bit more narration would make it more personable and informative. Now I see why you run such large mud tyres! Greetings from Australia! 👍

In humble opinion, the F150 is too heavy and diff locks front and rear would be a good idea. Maybe a better type of tyre.

I've done crazy mountain and snow things in my Wranglers but will never do Florida mud.

Bringing back memories...vehicles that should have never been where they tried to go

Great rescue, I struggle to hear what's being said on my laptop, I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Had to finish breaking that transfer case before it would move?

You know your stuff. Awesome job all around

Take a spare tire put it underneath the winch line closest to the vehicle that is stuck then begin winching The tire will help pick up the vehicle up out of the mud and towards you and the tire will roll all of the same time should help with dragging you around too

Y’all boys need to get y’all a mid 70s K 30 single wheel 1 ton 4x4 4spd Chevy on 35s if y’all gonna do that type of playing..

The Ford’s 4wd doesn’t appear to be working at all. That and no rear lockers is a recipe for disaster out there in bog country.

We need a truck tour

Let's go out in this slop pit and see if we don't get stuck so I can brag about it. Some things I'll never "get".

It honestly boggles my mind that there are people that go "offeoading" and don't have winches.

That was a mechanical lock up , that transfer case or front diff [ or both ] are piled up , lucky there's loads of em in the scrap yard

2 wheel drive.... wow,,, If you find yourself in a ford and one tire is just spinning. Reach down and pull the release on your emergency brake and hold it out. Then apply/feather a little of that emergency brake while you give it some gas. That will apply power to the other wheel that is on the ground and will probably get you enough traction to get you out.

Who ever drove the truck really needs to know if your 4x4 is broke then don't creep through the mudd

Nothing on the winch line and standing that close? For someone who has probably alot of experience winching I'm surprised ur risking that.

Up north we’re waiting for some frost in the ground . Just mud season now

O boy in the jeep is a little camera shy maybe? LOL. Great job

that was very optimistic to drive into the swamp with such a vehicle.

That’s like central Florida woods after rain

His 4x4 stopped working. Something jammed up. You could hear it let go when he first started moving.

Looking like a fire break trail

That aint my neck of the woods here in Tucso. Id be stuck in a heart beat. You ever heard of boats. We got lots of them out here.

Just another day in the Walmart parking lot with the boys and there toys

Hey Matt !!! Haven't seen the ""BRONCO "" ???? Where's it at ?? Would have liked to see it p/u that ""FORD"" !!! HAHA 🤔🙄 Hope ALL is well with getting your house back up this year !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

And when I’m watching 129.475, views, not bad for two days out,kool thanks BigAl California ,,, praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏

Great vid-- could we have a close up of your scotch blocks? Cheers

This is probably a good time to use wheel chucks and traction board.

we get stuck in the mountains... swamp is worse... snakes/gators? oh my. how did that rig break?

Now I see the problem! That gator tag!

Best job ever

I had a nice boat like this 😂

Not sure why you didn't air down the tires.

Love all the videos and knowledge. Is that the 3.6L or 392 under the hood? Blessings

Would a 6x6 post with a fat baseboard on bottom and a pulley on the other end of it help to pick up the ass end and then allow the Jeep to pull backwards?

Looks so fun to a city boy!

Looks like a front ujoint broke and the propshaft dropped and stuck in the ground? Cause of the water no one looked.

That may have been the from diff releasing from being bound up

DERN. !!!. ANOTHER ONE OF MY IDEAS I THOUHGT OF MANY YEAR'S AGO. I CALLED IT ANCHOR CHOCK. WELL I'M HAPPY IT WORKED. LIKE OTHER'S THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO REALITY. RECKON THE REST WILL DIE WITH ME. JOB WELL DONE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HAD IT SO HUNG UP.

Why don't tow guys literally carry danforth anchors. They just go deeper in the ground the harder you pull on them.

Sounds like to me the front drive shaft or cv axle was broken holding the truck in place and making the popping noise when it was getting towed out.

When the ruts are so deep that your differentials drag the center, keeping it moving is not gonna be easy, 4x4 or not.

Sounded like the gears were stuck when it broke lose. May have seized them.

I am new to this so genuine question: any reason you chose to try winch before kinetic pull? I thought a kinetic pull is good for stuck in the mud?

Y’all need a Drone I’m from that area and I can’t imagine doing this without one wow

I don’t think the 4 wheel drive was working . But. It was a good recovery

That was stuck on its own transfrecase grenade inside. Lol😂😂

Something got locked up in the front end and when he went to pull it back whatever that cast iron noise let go... kind of sounded like a Park Pin...stuck... weird but that front end definitely was bound up

Damn I wouldn't want that tow bill !

And THAT is why I don't go mudding anymore. 😋 How far North was that? By the look if the foliage, it looks like Northern Canada.

It would really help if the four wheel drive worked in the ford that is stuck!

Just call Matt’s Off-road Recovery 👍

I'm a little curious how come you stayed in the muddy ruts to pull where it's the slipperiest

Get yourself a land anchor or pivot spike

So basically, this video is about winches and proper winching techniques, not about vehicle superiority.

Looked like front axle was bound up

Two wheel truck in a swamp like that, well I don't know what they where thinking.

The guy in the 150 needs differential lock

I could smell the mud!
