good job watch out watch out milestar offered to tow the banana out to the smoky mountain jeep invasion which was super nice of them so if you'd like to meet the crew we'll be at pigeon forge tennessee at the smoky mountain jeep invasion the 25th 26th and 27th come by and say hi check out the rigs both the more bear and the banana will be there all right good morning it is a beautiful day we're up here in american fork we brought our area expert tucker this is where he grew up so we're doing a job of american fork canyon like past tibble fork i don't know all the landmarks tucker mineral basin area we have got the banana and we've got the morvaire and we've got an empty trailer somewhere we're picking up a lexus that has gone over the edge if me and skeeter look like we've been through the wringer it's cause we have we were up all night on a job with heavy d oh we drove up here we got climbing up and down cliffs yeah it was crazy all right we got up early this morning and drove all the way up here by the time we got here it was lunch so we stopped and grabbed some lunch and then we realized we didn't bring any straps so we had to go and get those and now we're headed up to the tibble fork parking lot and we're gonna meet the customer up there it's gonna be a great day [Music] so what's the story on this so i was driving on the trail and my front right dropped off and then i thought to gun it which was not the move and i ended up engaging the eight track and started to shimmy the back out towards this hill and then it just toppled from there rolled twice hit a tree with full force kind of taco'd it and it slid to a stop luckily came out with no injuries got lucky we'll go get it sweet [Music] i think this is as far as we go with the trailer this is where uh the story of goldilocks and three bears is based out of right here oh let me tell you this we were here like a year ago and we rescued a jeep from this spot like within the you know this area and we had to move a rock and we got in trouble for moving it and they called us and they said can you please put that rock back when the snow melts i said you bet we can and now uh we're here after the snow melts we're gonna put that rock back so we've actually got two jobs up here we've got to recover alexis and we've got to move a rock so the rock when we're up when we moved it out of the way it was right against the hill and i was like let's push it off well matt said don't because they might want us to put it back and they did but we sent checker up here on a recon mission to like check it out when he was up here visiting his family and uh he says somebody's pushed it down so we've got to get it from down anyway somebody went and did it without me [Music] [Music] maybe i'll drive it out drive it down to the main road or you could just drive it that way ain't gonna drive instead of trying to winch it up we could just winch it out down to the lower road down there just drag it out there yeah that's quite a ways down there yeah let's go down and look at it yeah we're getting all sorts of poison up in us oh man well there's your problem okay it's gonna roll it's gonna roll just fine you did a good job if um right i think i have an evil plan already in place [Music] there's a little worm they're here again right there okay skeeter i need one soft shackle and one rope down here okay so here's what i'm planning on doing i'm planning on putting a snatch block there when we pull this over like this it's going to want to roll down the hill if it's in neutral so we're going to tie it to this tree so it can go but but not all the way down there if it works that would be amazing so skeeter i need you to find me a snatch block a tree saver and a soft shackle and just get those items out i'm coming back up oh we got a climbing aid whose idea was this tucker get your own climbing aid today at matsoffroadrecovery.com [Applause] and you can actually let your own out for a minute okay tell me when you're ready i'm ready okay he's ready okay go is that too much resistance okay you are hooked up and wapo skeeter is there anything weird that's against no keep going i'm gonna watch it for you hey keep going it's working yeah your plan is coming together waffle keep going a little bit man it's that's what we wanted it worked unhook that skeeter what do you call one of these trees that's dead what it has been okay skeeter i want you to rappel down there i've got the wrong vehicle there i should have the more bear posted up there because it's got a little bit of weight on the banana and i think i'm going to be pulling off with a banana and a tree to do this but we'll see yep some people would say matt how do you know this is going to work and to them i say i have no idea if this is going to work but give me a few minutes and i'll tell you going back down thanks skeeter yeah scratched a little mine all right i got my pants on and i've been my changes let's go we've got a lot of triangles of death here all right i've got to get in a position where i can see what's going on and i won't die all right man all right we are not heavy enough up here to do what we need to do down there so it looks like we can go down none of those rigs are heavy enough to pull this up there we know for sure now so we're going to tear this all down we're going to regroup looks like there's a path down from this so skeeter's going to go scout that out but we just don't have enough lead to do what we need to do here today we're taking the low road all right so we're gonna leave this rig out here and just take that one unless we need to come back and get this one roger [Music] this won't be too bad this is not that bad i'm sweaty yeah you ready for this skeeter skeeter ready i couldn't steer [Music] oh my gosh tucker that was amazing he was like last action hero have breaks nope pushing as hard as i can i wish i could have got this but it went so fast holy crap tucker your your life flashed before my eyes yeah what'd you see i saw you move like i've never seen you move before well he kept i figured he'd at least run into the back of the more of air that's what it looked like and then he just started okay tucker can you grab this rope and pull it back up through the front you should have wore your brown pants today this is all sweat i promise i saw oh here goes the more bear and then i saw tucker running go go go go and tucker so i sat there like this like oh no okay lizzy pull nice and easy stop okay back up and just bump it just a little yeah okay bump it okay well twice that much okay go stop well i can't tell my heart is beating faster or not which it i shouldn't be doing but this is a ton of fun i'm loving this this is awesome okay back up one more just like that okay back up okay stay right there don't worry about steering it you're not doing anything nice and easy lizzy [Music] itself [Music] okay crank it to the left through the left to the left all right guys let's go again if i start flying off the mountain just let that hurt i know but the vehicle's already damaged skeeter [Music] how's that tether working okay yes i didn't realize we were gonna have to walk out of here we interrupt this sketchy job to do another sketchy job see we were here last year and we had a jeep down this road and we couldn't get it over this rock it was this gigantic rock and so we ended up moving the rock out of the way and trevor wanted to push it down the hill so but i'm like no don't do that that's not nice they might want us to put it back we didn't put it back we should have but we didn't then somebody come along and helped us because we sent tucker up here to do some recon somebody pushed it off the reason we were even here or we even care about it is i got a call from a park ranger who said hey we watched the video we need you to put that rock back but it was winter when that happened so he's like wait till the spring and you can do it so here we are if i say i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do it you don't need to keep reminding me every six months to be completely transparent the park ranger was amazing he's just like we really appreciate you getting that jeep out but we do want that road closed so would you please put it back and i'm like yeah oh it's a road closing rock yeah [Music] where is he oh were you looking for worms just one specific worm residential worms i think the biggest word of the huge wormhole he's is babies that's cool yeah lizzy loves worms there was a big one there it was like this long just move around so this is a day job and we showed up here in the evening it's currently six o'clock in the afternoon and we still have a three and a half hour drive home i'm gonna tell you this but that thing's a lot heavier than you think oh i know how heavy it is we've witnessed it before us and this rock have history skeeter i'm gonna need you to check your attitude i'm just telling you that thing we ain't gonna move that out the door there's eight of them right there i know what to do all right this is my second chance to make a plan that works today so i'm a little nervous but what i'm thinking we're gonna do is we're gonna hook to that rock with these two pieces of equipment and we're gonna pull it up we'll see how that goes hey lizzy pull it in [Music] okay lizzy just bump yours for a second i think skeeter's right that's a heavy rock i'm trying to get it to flip but i'm probably not rigged right for that [Applause] say all right let's let's redo this here okay lizzy pull that okay you guys watch the battery the most frustrating thing because i want to pivot the top this way first we got to keep that angler it's going to slide off the top lizzy just go again stop doing do it [Music] [Music] you got us this time rock we'll be back i think this is a job for the heavy wrecker this we're just pulling these rigs off we need a more comprehensive choking system for the rock yeah we got some trash cleanup we did yeah it wasn't a total bust all right so we momentarily failed on that now we're back at the other task that we're momentarily succeeding on let's go do that you're looking oh i can't get it open [Music] sorry i almost killed you sucker it's sucker with a t that was nice of him to apologize [Music] matt was done with the slow oh there goes the tire there goes the tire [Music] holy crap dude seem to be missing something [Music] the a arm dug in and so as you're pulling it this way it's just digging in more i don't want to budget [Music] [Music] now [Music] well that definitely made things worse how come i can never just make things better you only make things worse [Music] [Applause] i wonder if we should try to load it here then i've got a plan for loading it [Music] okay lizzy you're going to want to be in neutral and you're just going to be using your brakes [Music] oh what i want to do good how are you doing gonna oh half bad trailer i'm gonna have to begin i'm gonna have to buy this trailer for pepe again [Music] just because he's so strong and manly it's all about laughing something happened i'm gonna need those covers anyway well it's been a great day it's been a long day we're all tired and we are starving we took some damage but we handed out some damage too thanks for watching i watched the whole thing go down and i never saw tucker come back up so i'm looking at trevor scanning his face and server's happy he's running the other but there's still there's nothing from tucker he's behind everything and i'm like trevor in shock and trev tucker's dead laughing at tucker's demise
