Forced To Use Equipment I Despise Out On The Arizona Strip.

So I got a call for a Jeep Trailhawk out on the Arizona strip.

Matt you need to install jump seats on top of the work box with harnesses, that'll fix your seating issue on the wrecker!

Jaymie, a very busy business woman and Mother, makes their lunches for on the road. That is so sweet. She is amazing.

That discussion between Matt and Tom about the pine tree nuts was about the funniest conversation I've heard this year. Good job everyone!

2019 Sand Hollow, retrieving a wave runner from the lake in the sand on the South side. I couldn't get up over the sandy bluff to the beach to leave. After 5-6 attempts I put out my TRACTION BOARDS splitting the crest of the bluff. Went right up it!

I’m surprised Matt knows about making gum from pinion pitch. Exactly what we used to do when herding sheep and growing up on the Navajo Nation. That’s awesome! 👍🏽

The lunch break under the tree was awesome. Gumgate 2023.
The way Matt and Tom balance each other and make friendly little jabs is perfect and the crew falls in between. Awesome to see the teamwork on these recoveries

As an Alaskan I can’t even comprehend the thought of someone not knowing what the lower-48 means. It’s ingrained in us as much as it is to not walk around on the mud flats unless you have a death wish.

Getting that Ford and trailer up that trail was impressive.

If you're in a soft beach or a desert, traction boards are a must have. Yes you might not technically be 'stuck' when you need them, but the alternative is a shovel and a lot of sweat. Or using a winch and an anchor but that's just as much of a crutch.

[tlokzz]

Matt says "I think I'm at that age where I am being ridiculous about my dog's comfort." to which Tom responds "Yeah, you're there." Matt & Tom's dynamic is hilarious in this episode😆

I get that you guys don't read all the comments but turn your part throttle cruise fueling up. Drop Lamda to about .95 or so. My Bronco had the exact same header temp issues on long slow climbs. Turning fueling up helped immensely. You can also try advancing the timing at thise rpms a couple degrees. Late ignition timing can also cause high header temps.

I have 4 traction boards on my rig, I do think they’re worth carrying. In addition to leveling my truck for the roof tent, and use as a base for my hi lift, They’ve saved me a lot of digging when snow wheeling, and that’s when I find I use them most, but I’ve also used them as ramps to get up rock steps or to bridge gaps in the bigger rocks, cause I’m still on small tires with bad approach and departure angles. I find them to be a useful tool with some creativity. This winter I intend to try digging a deadman anchor in the snow with them and some rebar stakes, see if the snow can take the shear load of a winch pull. If so, all the more reason to carry them to me. I can see why y’all don’t really mess around with them, but I will continue to.

One of the more entertaining episodes in recent memory! Kudos to Jayme for lunch for two crews. Well done all around!

[johndoran]

Matt, just wrap the headers and if you still have issues, just build a tin shield, like an inner fender well, around the top of the headers. It worked for me.

[missiongravity]

I'm sure he hears it plenty but Tom seems like such a kind genuine human being.

[josephdonnaway]

Well, I carry traction boards, and have needed them for SELF RECOVERY. I even used them to get my 4WD Kubota compact tractor out of a deep snow bank beside my driveway. It’s just a tool, like a winch, not a cult. Bring the right tools for the job.

[MrPerry]

5:40 . I agree with matt. how many times have we seen Matt go out to get someone unstuck, and surrounding the customer are several $80, 000 custom off road vehicle with winches and ropes? In my opinion it's like swimming, the difference in swimming and sinking is knowing you can swim. Matt knows how to recover, and that's what he means by what he said about traction boards.

Mechanic and engineering student here. Never posted to your comments before but have watched almost religiously and really appreciate all of what you guys do. I have a simple solution the the header's heat problems both short and long term, you really should cut and install some ventilation in the top of the hood. I'm sure that if you could see the under hood temps with a thermal gun while it is under heavy load you would see an "air dam" where heat builds up in the back near the top. This would put a lot of heat right into where those locker lines are routed. A vented hood along with wrapping the headers should provide plenty of heat dissipation to prevent further damage to the lines/ other sensitive components under hood. Just some input from a fan with a bit of experience with heat management issues.

[TheCubanNrd]

Heat Shields work for a reason, it's not just the heat transfer through the air, it's the literal infrared energy coming off of those pipes! Like when a fireball goes off in the distance but you feel the heat in your face, the air between you and the ball isn't any hotter perse.
A simple physical barrier shield would probably help a ton!

Those Grand Cherokees are flat towable, you just needed something like a ball pen or a paper clip to push and hold the little tiny button where your daughter? was pushing with the knife. I used to have one. Good video!
