Matts off road/winder towing in trouble.

Article about fraud.

Interesting. I heard he was doing this but never knew if anything would come of it.

Wondered if you saw this article. Be interesting to know if it's true.....

Bummer.

Not defending him at all but the article reads to me like a bunch of other people did insurance fraud and are saying that he told them to do it. That's kinda muddy water.

Interesting.

It's amazing how much dishonest and illegal stuff gets dismissed as "just business." I see this more and more as I get older.

I'd be willing to bet that he has to certify to AAA that he did the tow their customer says he did.

Ah that makes sense. Oof...

I'd have to guess that there was a little fraud on both sides in many of the cases.

totally... I wouldn't put my shit on the line for a tow company like that. Pretty odd.

I believe it to be true. Local people had cut ties with him because of the shaddy stuff he was doing or asking people to do. I'd never call him for help or incourage anyone else to do so. To many other good people that are down here that could help.

I would dare say that there is a lot of fraud throughout the towing industry. I have a friend who has told me some stories he has witnessed through their body shop. This does not validate anything he may have done but makes you wonder if his fame doesn’t make him a visible target.

... but makes you wonder if his fame doesn’t make him a visible target.

Especially with how many SXS recoveries he does, which AAA doesn't cover.

I hope this proves to be not true. Guy seems pretty decent. At least on his channel.

I cringe every time I see him just loop a strap over the ball on his Jeep.

Yeah he does a few things like that on his videos that make me raise an eyebrow. Then again, I still have steel cable on both of my winches that freak some people out. There were never safety issues before the internet came along.

I think he's gone to a pintle hitch on the back, hope he gets things figured out.

He did a video explaining his reasoning.. Basically though, triple ball strength and light pulls. Heavier pulls get the pintle hitch.
