Is Matt’s Off Road Recovery Rope Best?

[JACKSMYDOG]

I don't always enjoy listening to him, but love the amount of info and detail he crams in. I very much appreciate his unbiased and straight forward testing.

I'm also a US-made nut and I like: https://www.billet4x4.com/ too.

They also have an Amazon store:

They have some nice gear David. That recovery shackle is pretty beefy too.

? I wonder if it'll help straighten the uneven bed? It'll definitely take the front end rake away. lol

He's kind of like Scotty Kilmer. They both have great info/reviews but tough to listen to at times.

Dang, didn't see that before! Now that is beefy and I'll have to replace my truck nutz with it!

That thing is big enough to use as stirrup to replace my bed step!

Make sure to connect it to something that'll give before the truck does!

Unlike Scotty Kilmer, I think he actually provides solid info and data on the stuff he tests - he doesn't just spew baseless opinions and clickbait.

I always enjoy seeing what he tests, how he tests them and what the results are. When I'm looking for something, I usually see if he has tested it. I just bought an electric chainsaw based on his testing and thus far, I'm really happy with it.

It seems to be a trait he developed over the years - if you watch his early videos they were very tame - at some point he adopted the "yelling/auctioneer" voice which seems to be his trademark now.

It can be annoying but seems to be his response to the countless internet videos with 2 minutes of useful information spread out over 27 minutes. I'd much prefer his fast talking but very informative style.

Scotties hard to take most times but he has toned it down a lot in the past few years. He has a few good videos once in a while but he puts out so many (I see 4-5 some days on my YouTube page) that it all can't be useful info. I can imagine he gets a lot of money from doing these. He must be doing something right having 5.78M subs to his channel.

I too use Project Farm for some go to stuff. I know he only reviews the product and not the products customer service. I had an issue with the company Advanced Wheel Locks from that video I posted a couple months ago. I really wanted a set before leaving on our trip and called and spoke to the owner 2 weeks before leaving. She said they were out of stock on them but might have another that'll work. She said she was going to stop at Ford that morning and grab a stock one to measure and see if they'd work and get back to me. She gave me the whole speech on how they're a small business which I like to support. Two days later when I never heard back I called/text her to see if she had any news and she never responded. I even tried once more a few days later figuring I'd just have her 2 day air them and still never got a response. While they may be great I also want great customer service with the sale. I'll never buy from them and will get the second place one which was the Gorilla free spinning locks.

That was an interesting video, but I would have been happier if he just explained the tests and spent more time covering the summary of the results and why one is better than another.

Me trying to absorb the information:

I bought from Advanced Wheel Locks based on that same thread/video, and it was weeks before they shipped. Of course they charged my card as soon as I placed the internet order, and showed the product in stock. They did eventually show up, and appear to be a well made solid product, but I concur on crappy customer service.

I would've had no problem waiting or having them ship them to where we were staying. It's the lack of (in this case no) communication that gets me. They look like a great design/product but I fear what it would be like if you need service after the sale. Gorilla is a large company and I've had good luck with them the past.
