soft shackle in the back so chris davies you are the winner of a matt's off-road recovery rope kit thank you so much you referred around 130 people so good job thank you guys for playing good morning we are in kingston tennessee we are just moments away from the bleeping jeep headquarters here so we're out here for the smoky mountain jeep invasion but we came a week early because we want to kind of hang out and have matt show us around wind rock and the other riding areas stuff he does out here so one thing that's really special about this trip is we have the morveir with us back here and the banana is on its way out here in the milestar semi so we're gonna do some wheeling with our own rigs out here in the east lots of people have asked for this because they're like ah you know how to drive on sand and rocks but what about back east where the wheeling's really slippery well we're gonna find out so to make this all work we had to do some planning and it took some special efforts from some of the crew members skeeter came out early like we sent him off a week ago like hey drive all the way out there with the more bear in the trailer you guys believe that he sent me over here unattended unsupervised with the morbear for an entire week we're gonna let skeeter tell his story right now and then we'll bring you right back into this one okay here we are leaving hurricane hitting the road head to tennessee smokey mountain jeep invasion [Music] so we have a little issue here i don't know what happened why it did it but my window popped off track so i just wedged a water bottle and that stick and it's good [Music] wow not alone anymore so that brings us to this point it's saturday morning we are within a mile or two bleep in matt's house we're gonna tour his garage we're gonna probably play cornhole you just pull off real close to the edge here if you want so the plan is i'm gonna take you guys on an east coast wheeling adventure and show you how different it is from the west coast well come check out the shop real quick yeah let's take it for this is my old shop where everything started right here this is where we became virtual friends he didn't know it i was one of those crazy stalker fans and be like i'm gonna find out where he lives i'm gonna look at his shop so this is the new space that we're currently working on [Music] so we just got our delicious food at weigels it's tennessee's maverick what matt says we are headed to wind rock matt's gonna take me on some hard trails he says so we got the crew back there at blue steel pulling the morvaire this is my second time to win rock park i've only been on trail 15 but this is my first time having one of my vehicles here and we're gonna hit something different i can't tell if matt's leading me into a trap or if he's leading me into a good time either way it's gonna be a good time well we're not in sand hollow anymore oh what is this what is this is that water pulled on the ground what in the world where did they keep all their cactus [Music] what level of obstacle is this this is a chainsaw obstacle and we don't have one so these trees they just poke up out of the ground huh you don't have those in utah the question is can you get them out freedom winch line i don't need to go find my accessories all you do is take this you wrap it around the tree and it goes back to itself right there look at that bleepin jeep.com store [Music] nothing more matt built a mighty fine road so people are like hey that was a really good idea no it was a bad idea but it worked so that's how new ideas come around people just people like me and us just try bad ideas till something works and then people think it was a good idea well i never thought of that [Music] holy smokes okay so what's the strategy here if you can hook up i would try to turn into it there upstairs all right show us how it's done [Music] so [Music] [Music] now it's my turn okay that look how far i made it [Music] what do you think of that experience it feels incredible oh that's crazy man isn't that crazy off-camber to nothingness down there yeah i didn't have a prayer of climbing that after watching that rear i mean that rear steer was amazing for that welcome to our next obstacle so that used to never be there i don't know where that came from but typically the line was right here where the tree is i've always wanted to hit that far side over there so i might try that but otherwise any way you can get up through here i've had enough of your humid air and your trees yeah why do you guys have things that are alive over here what's the deal with that we like our trees petrified [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] oh oh it's multiple crap i don't know if we're plugging that thing looks like we might have it good enough to hold air i don't know if we can drive on it but until i hit a rock okay i think i'm gonna try to ease on up through there now we'll see if it holds oh [Music] [Music] all right right here it's your choice hard medium or easy there's three different uh lines is this hard that's hard the next one over is medium then the next one over is easy [Music] i don't think it's gonna happen boys [Music] [Music] ah that's a hard line right there some mighty fine work boys good job man all right how many plugs do you think i need to fill that one we haven't checked yet but i don't think it's gonna hold there the plan is to go get a new tire so tucker's taking josh down to his jeep so josh can go get a tire skeeter's gonna go with josh to help him pick up said tire kentucky's gonna come back but then we'll have a campfire so josh and skeeter are back they got this tsl here 42 inch tractor tire this will get us out of here you guys ready to hit some more trails i guess we are all right let's do it tucker has volunteered to drive the morveir through a trail called little mule and it's pretty gnarly so let's do this oh dust off of it [Music] all right time to ease on out of here [Music] straight mud there yank the mirror it folded it a little it's just that loose everything else is fine so i was wondering if i could turn my wheel and keep my front wheel pushing me against the bank everything i did made it worse so matt here showed us some really cool trails we did little mule and trail 21 21 and let me tell you if you ever invite you to go wheeling with him when he's like hey it's not that bad it's super bad you're gonna be pulling your winch everybody on the internet says oh i could make that in my uh stock 4runner please try it and film it but this was amazing this is beautiful we're up here on the top of a mountain wind rock mountain i guess or something tomorrow we're going to be back at it we're going to show you some more cool stuff we're going to hit the sand mines tomorrow sand mines that's cool uh this was made for the sand they're mine sand here they did they built a a dam norris dam out of the sand off of the sand mines we're gonna learn about that tomorrow i told you we'd be back i came to see him in tennessee and he's like hey we got something really cool here it's sand no this is crazy uh this is day two not only do we have the command cheap the more vare we've got this amazing super cool build for a bronco here belongs to greg he's willing with us today i think it's gonna be a good day let's do this all right here we go [Music] right there this seems real familiar to yesterday so matt's heading back to grab a wheel off the scorpion so that we can continue this trail i don't know who puts a post there but i found it i found the post did somebody over here call for a tire [Applause] all right finally got my wheel back so matt went all the way back home pulled the tire off the scorpion thank you that was huge and now it's a little bit later so we're just gonna go do this trail so matt's like it's not too bad that was pretty bad that's the gatekeeper so everything past that is easier and seen more scenic i'm not saying it wasn't fun i'm just saying i'm glad i had a spotter all right give her a spin matt you ready look at that after all this time in 1933 we were in the middle of a great depression and all of the surrounding areas were flooding due to the river systems the tennessee river and the clinch river so they put a plan together and fdr decided that we were going to dam up all the rivers and mitigate all the flood waters and so they built this specific norris dam right over here between 1933 and 1936 and this is where they got all of the sand for the concrete and these are the brakes that would break the carts this is where the trucks would back up and dump their sand down in the chute and there's a nice overlook right here they would literally back up right here and dump it right down here i got the one team so what's the trick here looks like everybody's yeah you you come over here and kind of hug the trees onto that point and then bump it well look if you slid off that that's guaranteed body damage saw jk roll over backwards here once i built one that's the gatekeeper so everything past that is easier and seen more scenic so now what weight must be perfect on that thing [Music] nice [Music] started coming through the floor [Music] you did it we did it we did it [Music] okay that's how it's done [Music] thanks for the shower you got a little mud on your back [Music] that wouldn't happen to be a victory dr pepper would it it is i just unlocked my hubs we made it through there we got through all that the tennessee mud all right that concludes this day it was awesome we went to the sand mines even though we have sand where we're at thank you i keep saying the same thing over and over again i've never done anything like this the more vera's never been in this type of environment i'm happy with how it's performing but i would definitely build it different like if this was my wheeling it would be built different i'm really surprised though it did amazing out here and you didn't hit any trees i don't think no we we were literally like there's like the entire lane so this is when our trip started to get really hectic and it was the whole reason we were even out there and that was for the smoky mountain jeep invasion we were invited by barnes four-wheel drive to share some booth space with them and so we got there and we got set up on thursday morning they opened the gates and it was amazing the turnout was amazing it's a little bit after lunch probably like one o'clock all these good people waiting in line and the heat and the humidity to see us it was really humbling and a little bit overwhelming to see that so many of you were willing to come out travel all the distance stand in the line pay to get into the event to come see us and shake your hands and some of you had to sign babies um i couldn't believe how many of you were wearing our gear gear from three years ago that hasn't been made forever we saw fab rats gear robbie layton gear trail mater gear mischief maker gear we are very fortunate to have viewers and friends like you i am happy to have you on my team thanks to barnes and milestar for supporting us and helping us get out there and get to where we can meet you we are going to be meeting more of you in the future in different parts of the country we're going to be going to other shows we'll let you know what those shows are and thanks for watching i stole matt's camera if you find this put it in the video hi i'm matt from matt's off-road recovery and these are matte straps so i've been saving people out of tough situations for over a decade and today we're finally gonna do it right and trust me i've had a lot of straps fail over the years so that's why i created my own i went in search of a manufacturer that i could trust that can make the strongest toughest most durable straps on the market and i did just that [Applause] matte straps are proudly made in the usa and they are faa approved so you can tie down your morvaire and your golden nugget but you can also tie down your cessnas your boeings and your blackhawks our straps are of the highest quality they have a tight weed that resists premature wear and fraying and each strap has a 10 000 pound brake straight that's not going anywhere additionally our straps are made from the highest quality polyester fibers ensuring maximum tensegrity and a low elongation which means you'll get a stronger strap that won't stretch [Applause] so along with the superior durability and strength of our web we've got this hardware that's a ratcheting mechanism ed you want to tighten that up for us that's one thing that i really struggle with on these ratchet straps that after you use them a couple times they don't work smoothly so on ours we've got a far superior finish on here this is a heavy duty solid steel ratchet buckle treated with zinc chromate to help prevent corrosion and rust simple smooth easy and effective so if you look at this you'll notice that it's an endless loop design and that means there's no hooks to pop out and come unhooked so not only are these straps strong they're very gentle there's no metal hooks to scratch your precious cargo just like ed's golden nugget yeah i don't want to scratch that for the rokons or you can use it on that vehicle that you can't let go of or you can even use it on one of your good friends that's not going anywhere so i've pushed straps to the limit and i'm pretty sure you have to might have even ended up with something like this that you put back together and put back into service and if you've done anything like that i'm pretty sure you can look at this and you can see the superior design with a break strength of 4 400 pounds and a working load limit of 1 467 pounds matte straps will give you peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is safe and secure all right so each one of these kits comes with four 12 foot long straps they're two inches wide and right here you can see they come with this protective sleeve so not only can this sleeve protect your vehicle from scratches but it can also protect the strap from nicks or cuts from sharp edges so you get this great storage bag so that you can keep your straps organized and throw them wherever you want to and you're ready to go and mat straps are easy to maintain and store here lizzy will you roll these up for me [Music] so now that we have these straps i'm using them all the time i'm using them on the morvaire and the banana when we have to haul them far distances i'm also using them on customers vehicles we're headed up to yuba lake to pull a truck out of the mud got the more bear strapped down with the mat straps that's going nowhere you can get your own set of mat straps at matstraps.com and you can tie down whatever you want safe and secure you're gonna love them on your vehicle too so what are you waiting for ditch your old straps and pick up your new set of matte straps today
