I’m surprised you aren’t making a recovery camper out of it, a support vehicle for the overnight recovery’s or long jobs. Hard to beat hot coffee and a warm bed on a long cold recovery job that’s a ways away from home. Also doubles as an unstoppable RV.
Hell yeah good idea, something warm that can actually be used for search and rescue/fire crews as a base and as acomm way out in the hills.
I feel this comment needs more likes
Dave..^^
I would like to add, I have no idea how this platform operates and I have no idea if this would be a good idea or even feasible but it sounded cool at the time.
SMA put together a cool sprinter van for the Pikes Peak electric unlimited superbike record attemp, 2013? three PV arrays the shape of the top of the van slide out to 3X the van square foot area. Something like that could be done with a recovery expedition truck with awnings and pop outs not hard to put more than a half acre under shade, inside a windproof air conditioned enclosure. had a job making inflateable buildings that pack down to 3' x 4'' x 5' times two containers, and inflate into an aircraft hangar with 80' clear span, built with two guys in about 4 hours. Hunter Defense. bought the company.
"I was left unsupervised and bought a cement mixer to go rock crawling in."
Truly a sentence that his never before been spoken.
Makes total sense 😅
$...Or to make a revolving hot tub...or a 40 hog rotisserie!!!"
FIFY Truly a sentence that his never before been spoken... in the last 5 minutes..
R/ brand new sentence
As a driver of 18 years, I used to drive a mixer truck for about a year and a half. Heavy D, you literally just took my wildest fantasy about trucks right out of my head and you're bringing it to life and you have no idea! I can't tell you guys how amazing this is going to be! I will be following this one closer than any other story 🤣🤣☠️😎💯
*Plasma cut a 2' square hatch in the top near the first third of the spout and use a $150 demolition hammer to chip out the inside. Take you a day tops.*
@@1nvisible1 no need to cut a hole in the drum, they already have an access panel for that. Or you climb into the barrel w/ a jack hammer..

Gotta love you unsupervised with your love for heavy machinery, funds, and connections to make it happen and bring us along with it. And love the fact you have the crew with great personality to improv the whole time 😂 love these types of videos
"Remember kids, this is Hollywood. And respect is earned not given. Be a wolf among sheep."
I love it when you’re left unsupervised
Goose would be proud
It’s not mature it’s like he’s a child lol
😂😂
@@Puillui weel its known that the only difference between small boys and big boys is the price of their toys😂😂
My whole life is unsupervised, every day is a crap shoot, lol.
Hans’ reaction is the absolute best when Alan says he uses tide on his hair.
No unwanted chemicals gassing off, I wanna puke walking past all the detergents in the stores. Alan could give Sunlight a try. Sunlight bar soap gently cleanses without drying out your skin. Sunlight bar soap is made with 100% vegetable oils and natural fragrances that is gentle on your skin. It cleanses thoroughly, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth. Was introduced to this bar soap by a 6 foot 6 Polish miner back in 1970s when I worked as a miner in Wawa, Ontario, dam good soap, don't need no shampoo. Handwashed heavy socks to hang up to dry in the dry room with work clothes. Nice clean socks to start each shift!
He washes in Tide because it’s too cold outTide.
He needs to be left unsupervised more
Ya
Yes more unsupervised
You need to turn the mixer drum (once you get the concrete out of it) into the capsule of a rocket. There is a former NASA Saturn 1B rocket on the Alabama-Tennesse state line they want to get rid of.
The salvage possibilities if you can reach orbit are literally out of this world.
Would make a great TV show.
I would love to see it show up at Matt's off Road Wrecker event, if for no other reason than to see the look on their eye's.
Dave should bring the Chinook to the event and start lifting all five of the Isuzus before anyone else can get to them.
I can't wait to see you show up as a "late entry" at the MORR wrecker games 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That would be great!!
I thought the same
To me, these truck are quite unique on their own without altering their appearance. I've seen some in truck shows, but they're usually clean, restored, and look fresh from the factory. But turning one into a rock crawling rig? Now that would be very interesting to see.
Super cool characters and great interactions! Loved it. I felt that they talked honestly and did not aimed their general energy to be liked; how cool is that?! Thanks for the great content; you deserve the ~2.8M
Keep trucking!
I remember so clearly when Matt said that he doesn't want a 5 tons truck for recoverys " because is as off road as a ciment truck"
And now Dave is taking a ciment truck to do rockcroling.
I'm laughing my soul out
Cement/Concrete trucks are amazing my dad drove one for a couple years 6 wheel drive when he was full it was 75,000 inside of the barrel and a 15k truck they’re monsters off-road when empty he use to have to off-road at job sites in the Florida rainy season and those things could be up to the frame and still make it through
Turn it into a safe. For keeping money and expensive stuff.!
@@tjboylan20 I just barely watched a Ron Pratt video where he had to help one get unstuck from a muddy job sight after he was empty.
Just out of curiosity: Why does no one hear busides me know how to spel?
@@wynottgivemore9274 it depends on the model of truck, the ones he drove were Macs with the L9 cummins in them they had 54” tires on them also
Matt’s off road recovery climb would be legit amazing
Hey my name is Matt
@@Team_ASV NOW THERE IS, WOULD BE NO FOOLING AROUND! Un grand spectacle! Mechanical, rigging, driving and critical thinking all rolled into a ball!
This is a childhood dream come true for me. Honestly. I always loved the big beefy tires and wondered what they would be like offroad. I'm so happy about this
That thing would be a beast in the snow, I could see it getting brought down to a long flat bed then basically enclose it and set it up for good camping. Or maybe have like a mini custom storage shed to carry tools or accessories on part of it and the rest open to store the utv or snow mobiles or whatever.
Dave…we all love Dave because of exactly this. 😂
I love how the team just rolls with it at this point.
Yeah he's not a terrible person at all 😶
Everyone: Dave, why the hell did you buy a mixer!?
Dave: Tuesday
Everyone: Makes sense
I'm all in for the hog barbecue truck let's have a big party 5.00 admission
I just started watching your videos a few weeks ago and I'm hooked. I love this video. I bet it's so much fun working with you guys!
-Tavish
Dave, Dave, Dave..... I'm glad you have no self-control when it comes to buying cool shit. Thank you for the content.
Those government auctions are a dangerous place!
Fr. How ?
@@carlosquintana3386 wallet
I wonder since it was bought from the government, if it's tax deductible.
Several years ago, I saw everything from cheap sparkly dresses to skids of unidentified metal parts. Brand new.
@@firesurfer they weren't from Sam the Nuclear waste guy were they?
Haven't seen you for a while missed your truck mods shows glad you people moved on in a good way with the laughs😅included😅. From Melbourne AUSTRALIA 👍🤠
As always great drone footage, great team and perfect editing just sending more love for yall👊🙏😎
My hubby used to drive a mixer for a living. I remember him complaining how hard it was to get hard cement out of them. Good luck!! I can't wait to see what you do with this bad boy!! I would like to see you use it to help the Wizard on the compound and Brent at Cerro Gordo. I love it when you team up with them. It makes for exciting new content!
there’s another channel which shows they use small charges to break up the concrete without damaging the drum.
Mythbusters figured out how to do it back in 2005.
You have got to be kidding me
BUT YES GO TO THE OLYMPICS SHOW THEM A REAL ROCK CRAWLING RECOVERY MACHINE 💪
They usually have one or two panels in the side that can be unbolted to allow easier access to the inside of the mixer drum. With a jack hammer and some air chisels and really good hearing protection you could make short work of removing any concrete left inside the drum.
If it has a lot of concrete inside the drum,; I have known people who have used a jack hammer to create a "shaft" big enough to put a stick of dynamite into and use that to help break up the concrete. Those drums are pretty tough.
You guys look like a lot of fun! I can't wait to see how this project turns out!
Oh boy!
To say, I am intrigued, is a bit of an understatement.
Please proceed with the unsupervised insanity!
NowaDays wrong is rite and insanity is sanity! LuvD
Thank you so much for taking this down to the olympics to show matt what the largest off road wrecker could really look like. If you do that it would be epic! Just think about all the subs you could gain from it.
I never did understand Matt calling his rig "the world's largest off road wrecker". It's not even close. I've seen wreckers in Australia that would pick it up and toss it like a toy. Not to mention every single army recovery truck.
@@dannyalvarez4259 He specified this in a video. Largest Off-Road Wrecker isnt quite the right term. He even had an example in the video of a bigger wrecker, but he defined his as the biggest functional tow truck (boom, winches, etc) that is a Rock Crawler/Buggy trail capable rig. Sure there are plenty of trucks that are way bigger, and can haul way more, but his will be able to get down those super technical rock trails where people with hardcore equipment go. As Ive said before, the problem with having a super capable rig, is when you get stuck, nobody can come get you. Thats essentially what he is building his wrecker for. He can go get the extreme rigs stuck and broken down difficult trails that nothing else can get through.
Essentially, the Largest Off-Road Wrecker isnt the right term, a more accurate way would be something like the "Worlds Most Extreme Off-Road Wrecker".
@@tennisontower8003 haters gonna hate. No point in trying to explain things to people.
It's simply a gimmick. Nothing more.
Heavy has the biggest wrecker
Nice.....!!!!
(Ever consider building up a couple off road service trucks to carry your recovery gear and parts....?)
Wreckr challenge with Matt's recovery would be awesome
I bet Matt's Biggest Off Road Wrecker will be finished soon. He is looking forward to do some recovery. This will be amazing video! 😀
We converted a front discharge into a grain hauler for our farm. We took all the axles off since grain is so light. Its awesome when unloading.
Restor/upgrade/customise it! Do a video of it being done and keep it! You'll have so many memories in this. The smile at 6.00 minute says it all!
The collection of Oshkosh vehicles is coming along nicely.
By all means, just show up at Matt's Offroad Olympics. That would be hilarious to see their expressions!
Make it a Mud Buggy recovering, announcement stage platform. This would make it super easy for off Road events and would sale. 2nd option, off road RV home would sale great in tough areas like Alaska.
I drove a mixer for 10 years. They are a beast!! I always thought it would be the coolest off road camper.. you can take these things anywhere
So good to see Skeeter. I hope to see more screen time. But Hans will always be my favorite.
Skeeters trash
@@kevinschewa2927 sounds like a good buddy talking smack.
@@tinairvin260 that guy jumps from one job to another not loyal to anyone and what exactly is he good at?
@@kevinschewa2927 it sounds like you have personally met Skeeter to know the intimate reasons he has left previous jobs. I have never met him but I enjoy his personality. Until he does something to me, I have no reason to trash him. Everyone has their opinion. There is a fine line between an opinion and being a judgmental person.
There are books and career counselors that guide people to not stay in one job very long. Always two sides to the story. If Skeeter left Matt and Hunter in a bind, then you might be correct about the loyalty statement. Still, not something for me to judge. The world has enough judgmental people unfortunately. Hunter did a video about Dave Sparks giving him the chance he needed. He spoke highly of Dave Sparks. For all I know Hunter may have told Skeeter that it would be a great opportunity to work for Dave Sparks. Until I personally know Skeeter is trash, I will enjoy any screen time he gets and not judge.
I was surprised to see Skeeter in the video. Who’s Hunter?
It’s always awesome to see, bud on the channel as much as we like to all think we’re perfect we are not and to see him such a down-to-earth person, and a little bit of reality always goes a long way to relate to the people that watch
What are you talking about? Bud reminds you that we're not all perfect, what is that supposed to mean? What about bud is so "common wealth" that would make you say something like that. Bud makes more money than you, don't forget. He is perfect you, ya little sausage
What are you trying to say about bud
I was wounded in the Vietnam War...After I got back from Vietnam in 1970, they re-trained me as a supply technician, which included "Property Books" (Inventory control) One of my jobs was to handle "Turn ins" of Army equipment to be sold at auction. ALL military vehicles have a record book of maintenance/service history. All you have to do is ask for a look at it when you go to auction... in 1975 I went to one such auction as the maintenance division was turning in their parts truck as it was pass it's age (use by date) . A 1968 Chevy "Side Step" pick up...3 on the column, six banger. It needed new wood for the box bottom (I bought a custom kit and a muffler). I read the millage book and since maintenance owned it ...the engine and body was flawless ... picked it up for $800. The only issue when buying is you need to inspect the item as maintenance workers may swap parts to fix another... such as a master cylinder ... be safe ... by the way Delta was there buying a Jet engine from a crashed aircraft ... I was told that wing's side wasn't damage???
That "look" on the opening line... priceless half gleeming happy and half knowing he is in trouble! lol
The equivalent to sending a kid alone into a toy store with their parents credit card 😂 I love it! Now let’s take it to Moab! 😂😂 Just when I thought things couldn’t get any wilder, this happens! This is truly what success and hard work looks like! 😂
No, this is truly called goofing off with more money than you know what to do with.
Allan is a different kind of being. He's awesome hahaha.
So is Bud, even as awesome as the wizard!
It was great seeing Skeeter! Hope we see more of him with Dave and the team.
I thought thats who that was!!! Is this where he went after Matt's Offroad? Is he in other videos here?
@@coltonwall6704no he originally went to work for hunter on his channel he stayed there for about a month then Dave stole him under the promise of job security because at the time hunters channel wasn't doing so well
Good ol’ Hyrum, Utah! Lots of good finds and great people in Cache Valley
Honestly the tide laundry detergent is genius. No need for 5 different soaps and cleaners, just the one. True life hack 😂😂
I have been using dish soap for the last 50 some years for my all-purpose soap needs.
@@Icum4u Dawn is the best! 👍
Dawn does it all! Even cleans Ducks!!
This is where Skeeter went! He disappeared from Matts Off Road
No, skeeter went to work for hunter, till dave went behind hunters back and hired him
@@thejoshdawnsubielife6053 Who is Hunter?
@@Iam1uglyguy the fella that has ginger hair that sunk the bus on the salt flats
@@thejoshdawnsubielife6053 Kinda assuming a bunch arent you? We dont know what happened or who did what. We dont know why Skeet even left MORR, did you say Hunter went behind Matts back and hired Skeeter from him? NO, because you dont know a single thing about what or why he left.
Michael don't assume what I didn't say. I marly said what hunter himself said.
I transported new mixer trucks. They required us to keep the barrel turning for the entire trip. They said if you don’t the barrel will get flat spots and be unusable
Makes sense
I'm in the UK andcaddicted to the show. I absolutely love it.
You guys make work look fun, you all have such a good attitude and I swear there is nothing your team can't fix/work through. I love you guys!
Jesus loves you.

You should try to build it as a transporter and help transport people for the wrecker Olympics! Would be awesome if you were in it but that would help out more than anything! Sell your own tickets for transport
You know what I like about all these videos? It's the fellowship! More men needs this.
Diesel Dave has excellent taste in hats!
Messed up situation with skeeter and hunter, hopefully y’all work it out well. Good luck brother
I actually like the recovery aspect but the rock crawler would be cool as well. The idea that you had about the winches and boom would be a good thing for the off-road community
I worked for Oshkosh truck where this truck was made , back in 2006 Parson's ready mix flu in 75 drivers to drive 75 new mixer from Oshkosh WI back to Utah ! That was a parade !!
I can totally see the safari bus being built. Have a couple pull out smokers that tuck away beautifully along with some massive coolers.

Hell Yea....Modify and take to Offroad Wrecker Olympics with all the guys. It would be so much fun and if they don't see you coming, a real show to watch!
You are definitely full of surprises. I must admit, I didn't see that one coming! 😎
Unbelievable some of the stuff they come up with
I’ve been dying to see the 10x10 HEMTT in Moab so you know I’m all in to see this cement truck in Moab!!!
Hell Yeah, those trucks can go just about anywhere. Great idea 👍
Yes go to Matt's Off Road Recovery event !!!!
I hope you can make it into exactly what you want. You are so funny, and should not be left to check out auctions unsupervised. LOL. I will be excited to see what this becomes. Be safe one and all. God's blessings to you.
Never really considered, but a mixer would make a pretty neat/interetsing recovery vehicle or support vehicle. Visibility is unmatched from the cab. But that rear engine kind of gets in the way.
Actually, if the transfer case it towards the front, I wonder if you could slide that engine to mid-ship. Would make quite a balanced vehicle.
When I saw the mixer truck my first thought was you were going back to Cerro Gordo again. Those were some great videos, and I hope y'all will go again for another adventure. I also hope you can have Jax be involved somehow. I thoroughly enjoy this channel. Long distance fan from Alabama.
THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO MAKE SOME BODIES DISAPPEAR. I LOVE HOW THE BOSS GOES ONLINE SHOPPING AND THEN TELLS HIS LITTLE DO BOY'S TO GO PICK IT UP. GREAT CONTENT.
Matts off road Adventure…..✌️😎👍
Love it that you met this legend Alan and he became your buddy
40 hog hopper needs to be a t shirt 😂😂
Never know what another day is going to be at work for you guys. Great for us viewers/followers. Thanks
That bottle motor is going to make one hell of a recovery winch
What’s the starting torque on the motor 🤯
@@wintersun398 I think those bottles hold about 60,000 pounds and to mix the baffles have to be able to lift half that, so it’s got to be able to shift 30,000 pounds from cold
@@eveningecho5334 hmm so if they hitched a chain off the spindle it could deadpull more than 14 metric Tonnes?
@@wintersun398 sounds about right, but probably more given the size of the machine that HeavyD bought lol
We need a darkar build like just a beast
Heavy D, you are the craziest, coolest, most original youtuber ever.
That's why i got your shirt
You definitely should make it a rock crawler. The seats in the back would be great for people who want to try rock crawling but don't have the money to do so. You could also take people site seeing in it too. Lots of routes you take can take with that idea of a multiple seat rock crawler.
I would make it a crawler with some real big king coil shocks and some huge mickytompson tires with a LOT of weight reduction 🫣✋🤚
There's actually multiple companies in moab that offer that exactly but instead of cement mixers they use humvees with like 10 seats in them.
Being unsupervised is really cool when you let your creativity rule your wallet, that's an amazing piece of equipment. Rock on brother, this is going to be another great one. Loved the reaction of your crew when they went to get it :) :)
It also helps that 11 000 is not a lot of money to him.
Hans cracks me up the burnout 😂 had me cackling
I seen a mud bogger made out of the rails and cab of one of these. And a gas motor swapped. It was awesome. Only 2 axles and combine tires
You always do a great job when left Alone. Looks like a great item to go crazy with. Can't wait to see what it gets turned into. Thanks for sharing this video. Looking forward to the next video.
Showing up at the off-road wrecker Olympics unannounced would be fricking epic.
Bud seems like a cool dude!
Yo I cant get enough of the Make America Chingon again lol I love it
Turn it into a ride. Take off the skin of the tumbler. Build in seats with 5 point restraints inside the tumbler. Drive down the street with 4 or so people tumbling around and around in the back. That would be an awesome ride.
Yeah Dude! Mix it up Baby!! 🤣
A little interesting bit about those trucks and why they are so capable is they need to be. They can do a lot of things empty but once loaded full of cement they can get stuck rather easy. Back in 2009 we were pouring for a new barn one of those trucks got too close to the edge of the driveway and slid off. This wasn't that bad but loaded the truck didn't have enough power to get out so my brother let them borrow two chains to pull it out with another truck. I guess they didn't know why my brother gave them two chains was because one wasn't strong enough but they tried anyway and broke the chain. My brother didn't trust them for the second time so he got another chain so he had two got out the old Koehring c166 excavator and pulled the truck with that.
Hell yeah 👍 good job 👍.
Can't wait to see this in the off-road Olympics.
A 20 seat rock crawler would be epic, especially when it rolls off one of the rad inclines at Moab! The screaming, flailing bodies and blood splatter would make terrific content!
I was wondering why I hadn't seen skeeter on matts channel in a while.
He has been on Hunters channel working, where he was working after leaving or being fired from Matts.
Isn't that Cummins hanging off the back going to limit your departure angle? Keep those videos coming. Always interesting.
Great purchase ! Rock crawler? But a wrecker for the wrecker Olympics!
Wow super purchase, 👌🏻
✌🏻🧡 😊🤔🤘⚠️ 🇨🇦.
P.S or take the drum assembly off, install a R V. Trailer, you know a polished Air Stream? The Ultimate off road Air Stearn, then do moab! 😛
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻.
Great idea and great vehicle.
Moab is among my favourite places on the planet. That area is just the shit!!
Greetz from Germany.
I hope to see you at the Offroad Wrecker Olympics!! Are you already building the parts in the shop, to use to go on recoveries?
That was interesting start to the video, leave people wondering what is up with the mystery purchase. A large truck like that would make a great recovery vehicle, especially if you can rock crawl with it. Looking forward to see what you do with it and what modification you will make for it.
I would turn it into a wash plant for gemstones or gold.
This would be great for our opal fields here in australia.
I can certainly relate, one time my accounting left for vacation and left me unsupervised with the check book. I went and bought a plane!
Haha love Alan. What a addition to the team he has been!
I love it when Alen said he uses ride to wash his hair and everything else and hans look was wild like wtf heck I use Gain
When heavy D tells you to go get something don't question it or dilly dally , just do it guys ! LuvD
You need to keep Sparks away from the exhaust fumes of his truck LOL 😂
Love how Hans is the steady Ether Guy 🤙🏽
