I’d love to be able to come but I can’t even afford to take off work much less buy tickets. :(
@@4wdtennessee459 yeh, it's going to be an expensive trip for us but worth it. Ticket price is going to be the smallest expense though. I'm kinda glad they made it high for adults and free for kids.
@MattsOffRoadRecovery Matt yo will probably want to use the same setup as a skid steer. The Hydraulic Nematic pump system is the safest and most responsive system to have for steering on tracks. I mean they the same system in the A1-Abrums Military Tanks and those things will do over 70MPH off Road. Plus finding that system isn't hard just look for a broken down old skid steer for sale and harvest yourself a new to you Hydraulic Nematic stick seer setup. No More Levers... lol. Ok well I hope this helps you out. Plus Guys the Bomb-Bee Looks and Sounds AWESOME!!! Peace out and all that good stuff.😉
12:58 They are not called Suicide Doors for nothing.
Need right hand threats on
The drone footage of the Banana hooked to the Bombi, hooked to the truck, hooked to the camper and on the way down the mountain, was awesome! Great job team MORR! If a person wasn't a "FAN" before this episode, they certainly should be now!!
LOL yeah definitely a "Fan"! They definitely had a " fan"tactic time!! ✌🐢
@@redgarcia1427 🙂👍
I was going to make the exact same comment, so thanks for making it! Awesome production value!
@@Video81501 👍
That was a real nice duet!
Matt, "Whoever is concerned enough to come looking for us."
Colby, "So no one."
Ha ha!
Why didn't they call Paul/fab rats for backup?
Yea this is usually when he would say he would call Paul…definitely something going on between the two. 😢 I hope it all sorts itself out I love fabrats!
@@Hammy1012 Bad Blood these days
The way Matt laughed at that was great, he wasn't expecting that one
I build tank drive systems in my work for autonomous and human controlled robots.
Watching the Bombi trying to steer, it looked like the biggest issue was that the entire track has the same (similar) ground pressure front to rear.
We have found you really need the center (front to rear center) to have more ground pressure compared to both the front and rear. This makes an absolutely HUGE difference in how much one side braking is required to steer.
With our fixed suspension robots we have the front and rear of the tank drive at least ¼" higher per foot of distance.
For example if we have a 4 foot wheelbase we'll have the front and rear ½" higher than the centre wheels.
Note our robots typically only weigh about 250 lbs and a heavier vehicle on ground that gives might need a bigger offset. You'd need to experiment, but I'm certain you'll find the steering is much, much better if the front and rear of the track were raised a bit.
So you're saying need like a pivot point in center of front to back?
I really agree.
Would a slightly bigger diameter wheel in the center or higher profile work?
Yes to this. And paired with better brakes/calipers
@@paytonruss55Better to resize the rear wheel or reposition it. Better reverse approach angle and that lets the tracks still contact with the center three. Having a bigger wheel just on the center position would make it a teeter-totter. :) (But yes, turn on a pin head.)
The grin on Katelynn's face when the engine was revving is priceless!!!
There's only one appropriate adjective for that rescue, and that word is EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!
One thing I really appreciate about Matt's crew is they don't scream and holler at each other when things get stressful! I've worked with both kinds of guys and I much prefer Matt's approach compared to a guy with no patience! An old guy on the job site once told me when I was letting my panties get in a bunch was that "when your in a hurry, take your time". Some of the best advice I ever got on a job! My 2 year old loves watching your videos with me 👍 great family content!
Getting angry doesn't help anything or anyone. Your just angry is all
@@craigrussell3516I work with an old farmer and I couldn’t agree more, he’s blunt and he does get a little mean sometimes but he’s learnt you don’t know what you don’t know and it’s way better for everyone to teach than to shout at them for not knowing.
Stupid people hate to be wrong. It takes patience and skill to work on a team let alone lead. Especially in an industry where you have to think on your feet.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast!
They have a professional editing team. Just saying.
That drone work on the way out was awesome!! The duo of Bombi and Banana looked slick! HAHAH and When Matt says, When you let her Eat, She lets the whole world know shes eating with a pleasant tone! Bombi does sound amazing!
Well done Team MORR! whoever wrote that I think you should use it. I can not commend you and your teams attitude in highest enough praise! If you are getting frustrated, you keep it to yourself, and you just keep moving forward for different solutions. The no yelling, no swearing, no fake drama crap is so, so appreciated! Cheers to you and the team and all the best.
I expect Matt was not raised to yell, swear or do the fake drama thing.
Great job gettin em out as usual. The camera crew really deserves a lot of credit on this one. well done boys!
17:02 "why are you a Ghostbuster" almost made me spit out my coffee 😅
Same here!! It was a good one!! LOL✌
There is not a lot of Dad's that have created an atmosphere conducive to wanting to learn for their sons in this world. It is so heart warming to know that your sons look like they are enjoying the opportunity to learn what you know. As a CTE teacher that is rare to see in the students I have taught. Many of their fathers are in the Construction Industry but their boys don't want to work with or for their fathers. Thanks Matt for a great example of patience and allowing failures to happen as learning moments.
This is exactly my take on the entire MORR Family. An amazing group of people..
Im sure Matt is really proud of his boys as well as his whole crew
Matt I love to watch you and your boy's doing these recovery You all are so happy together and you can see they love doing it with you. 😅
That is THE MEANEST sounding Bombi I've ever heard!!! I love it!!!!
Sounds like Chewbacca.
Sounds like Chewbacca.
Sounds like Chewbacca.
That Bombi while it needs some work roars beautifully.
And I can’t stop to notice the banana rips through the snow like it is nothing, cool stuff!
The pure joy on Katelynn's face with that loud motor is heart warming.
right?
Hahaha I noticed that. But Who is she? Part of the fam or employee. Been watching a few months now
@@dreyes12011989I believe she is a new employee, unsure on if She has and relation to them. 🙏
@@dreyes12011989 She is a relatively new employee.
She’s just adorable all around! Just want to give her a big hug!
Feel like this is a typical Matts Off Road Adventure. Matt and team miles from home on a snowy mountain side finds a dog roaming and becomes new best friend. Also Matt takes an un-tested Bombie to a job with out finishing the build and still manages to somehow recover a client in foot of snow with major and minor issues. Mission accomplished for sure in typical Matts Off Road style.
The drone shot of you turning that rig around was the best.....and a simple locking bolt will fix your fan problem....Cheers to the crew!
most cars now days use electric fans.... why didn't he do that? I know, something to crap out and a fan attached to the shaft thats already turning makes sense.
@@mrr8682 Situation his vehicles are in. When you are pulling high rpms but not moving quickly cause you are trying to pull something a mechanical fan can move more air. Particular use case.
I was thinking of threading on a thin jam nut first, screw the fan on and tighten the nut against the fan.
@mrr8682 an electronic fan will never match a properly shrouded mechanical fan. It's why trucks and utes still run them. If a mechanical fan set up takes 1hp from a motor to turn it, it doesn't matter. Now imagine trying to get a 12v motor in the 800w range in to a fan set up to match that
@@Dlawler Trucks and utes run mechanical fans because they are cheaper. Same story, different day: you want quality, you pay for it. You can literally get electric fans for V8's off the shelf. Besides, I've got a 1000w inverter hooked to the battery of my car. The reason it's that small is, that the car's a measly hybrid, so the battery only gets 90 amps. If it was a 'Murican truck, I could easily throw a 2kw unit in there and run an 800w interior fan along with a microwave oven for my mac&cheese lunch, with enough power to spare for an LED strip to blind oncoming drivers.
I don't even care, what you're going to say about how long you've been working with cars and tech; you just revealed you don't know and don't care to know about things brought to market since you were a kid. 'Electric bad, gas good' is just one of the things you need to drop before it bites you too hard.
(Besides, proper shrouding has fa-fa-f-all to do with where the fan gets its power, just with how well you know your sheez)
The Bombi is a testament to you and your crew's by gosh and by golly design and fabrication skills.
Who else would take the Bombi fresh off the build without a couple of weeks of shakedown runs.
It wasn't just pulling out some side by side. It was a full-scale rescue.
Very well done guys.
That exhaust is pure music. You sure didn't choose a cake walk for the Maiden Run!
LOL "What do you think just happened?" Might be the closest we've seen to Matt getting mad!
When the fire extinguisher went off...lol
I don't blame Matt for being upset about that, but I don't think he needed to be so.....hmmmm.......smartass when asked what happened. How was Kaulin supposed to know right off the bat what was going on?
I have to say, for the first time out with a fresh, almost ground up build, I am absolutely happy with how things went. It was no messing around as the machinery was pressed hard! So much went right and the job got done. As an old friend of mine used to say, "It worked didn't it"? Congratulations on the build and the haul out to all!
So with you clarifying the wrecker portion of the games I think the real question a lot of people want to know is what is the real beef going on with Fab Rats because I certainly don’t buy the excuse’s they gave, it was basically a cop out. Is it really our business? I guess no, but I’m sure I’m not the only one that would like to know the TRUTH.
And that turn around at the end is why I LOVE a gooseneck.
Better than a bumber pull in every situation.
Agreed, have you seen the sort of gooseneck camper trailer that was made for the VW bug back in the 70's I think. It was pulled by mounting a ball to the roof of the bug. The roof of the bug is pretty sturdy so it seemed to work great, and the bug could rotate a full 360 under the trailer and push it backwards while driving forward.
@@cdw3423 was it an offical trailer? i remeber seeing a video of that and it was hilarious
The Bombi looks soo good!!!
@@whatusernameis5295 I'm pretty sure it was an after market thing that didn't sell very well because there are almost none still around. But at least one guy on CZcams has one he restored, should be too hard to find.
Heavy Diesel F-350 and even heavier loaded toy hauler "Dead Pull" in snow.
You guys still amaze me after years of watching.
Happy to see it's working for you. Yes, it sounds Great. I had mentioned before, I had a friend (Greasy Pete) who had built a couple rigs like yours from scratch. First one had the same problem with the brakes for turning. Second one he rigged a system that would disengage the drive when you pulled the lever back before it would activate the brake so you weren't fighting against the drive. That system worked SO much better. Hope you can get that fan problem solved before it eats through the radiator. Good job to everyone who worked on the Bombi and got it to where it is today.
That would work but sounds extremely complicated to do on this style of drivetrain
@@bradenwuesthoff5639 Wouldn't be too bad to do it like a Soviet tank where you put a clutch between the gearbox and each track. Pulling back either steer lever would then first disengage the clutch so you can turn a little with all the power going to one side. If you pull it more then you start to engage the brake and get a fairly tight turn. Still wouldn't do a neutral steer where you send one track forward and the other in reverse but really don't need it.
This recovery had some amazing aerial videography! It was neat seeing both vehicles tugging the truck and trailer along getting it spun around! Great work filming crew!
Matt, it needs to be converted to hydrostatic. You'll be chasing brake issues forever in my opinion
I am not sure that it will be much of a problem. At least not if they remember to replace them annually. They will be a problem if they wait for them to fail.
@@kevindouglas2060 They do require a lot of maintenance.
I think hydro-static is the way to go too. But I wonder if a pair of fans to help keep the rotors cool would make the brakes work a lot better.
I agree. Ceramic pads eat rotors.
@kevindouglas2060 sounds like something they will do. Plus, they can then make another video on it.
"MY BRAKES FAILED!!!"
Wow wow wo. That has to be the best video I have seen on this channel. For three important reasons. 1. It shows the culminations of many months of hard work put into the Bombi really paid off like in the off-road wrecker. 2. Those drone shots were AMAZING. Well placed in the video and a beautiful landscape. 3. Finally having your sons on jobs makes the whole 'family; part of your channel so rewarding for everyone. Keep up the great work. Signed a BIG fan from Boston.
And the, Yes Sir over the two way radio young man with respect for his dad
Love this crew and their adventures! The bombi was clearly not ready, but she didnt embaress herself one bit, she still did good. I use to drive an articulated tracked vehicle for the swedish army back in the days, ford v6 with 210hp and 4 individually controlled tracks. That could probably come in handy in this adventure. Besides that, what the hell is in that trailer? Two 4wd/tracked vehicles that pull with full might, and it still dont move..? And about that steering problem, i used to work on tracked vehcles back in the day, and the ones i worked on had double discbrakes with double calipers on both sides. So 4 discs, eight calipers on the front axel. Maybe that helps you?
28:30 Matt knew exactly what mood he was going for when he was casually munching on that PB&J while revving that V8 to the moon, those were calculated bites, and he absolutely nailed it. Not sure what it says about the rest of my day, but so far, that's the highlight of it.
I LOVE how Matt seems to never get discouraged and he just keeps trying to find solutions.
I like the confidence he has in his boys to scout a turn around and taking their word that it will work out favorably.
I think they edit out his fits. You can totally tell he's getting pissed on more than one of his videos. Which i don't blame him cause I'd be pissed top.
@nicjones6045 😂🤣 You very well could be right but I still think all the positive ways he's handled things ON camera is still MUCH better than I think I would be handling the situation. 🥵🥶🤬😉
It's just a shame that he rarely comes prepared for the unexpected. He doesn't carry a jack? He doesn't have air?
@stargazer7644 Yeah, that is kind of odd that he doesn't have some things that would seem to be worth having like a shovel and a full tank of gas...among various other items. At least he now has a welder on the wrecker. I wouldn't think it's because he's trying to save on weight because it seems like more weight is usually advantageous for pulling.
Never had the pleasure of meeting Matt but the way dog's luv him i know he's a great guy.
The way Matt runs deep into the country side and finds dogs and has new best friends is impressive.
Not often I know exactly where a recovery takes place, but that campground gate you backed into sealed it for me. My wife and I camp hosted at Demotte campground near the Kaibab Lodge and often took our Jeep on FR 22 on our way to Kanab for groceries. Even knew a guy who hosted at those cabins the first year.
That music during the aerial shot while pulling towards the end. Fantastic. You all do an amazing job. This would definitely be regular tv quality
Impressed with the Bombi, but more impressed with the Banana! Those Patagonias are wicked in the snow, Matt!
Agreed.
Matt: what was he saying?
Cameraman: HE SAID IT’S CONSIDERABLY QUIETER!
I am always impressed by the quality of your CZcams videos. With all the other issues you have to deal with, whether complicated problems in the shop or the many challenging off-road rescue situations you have to figure out, I am impressed with how clearly your videos keep us viewers with you in very understandable terms.
It just tickled my heart to see Caitlin giggle in joy every time she heard the sound of power when Matt revved up the Bombi. That girl is definitely a keeper for the channel.
Matt- “Alright just drive forward with a medium-rare pull” 😂 Haven’t heard that one till now.
The best kind of pull.
Wonder what a well done pull looks like?
The sound effects on the 80-point turn were on point. Bravo editors!
That was hands down some of the best footage/editing during the recovery out of any of your videos! Purely AMAZING!
I can't get over just how adorable the Bombi turned out! It honestly surprised me a little. I want one! lol
That was a great testament on how the Bombi was well built.
Once it's totally sorted out...she will be unstoppable...nice drone work, problem solving recovery and excellent team work.
14:14 "it ain´t working"
Matt: "Let me see you it not working"
Priceless !!
I was LMAO the first time you revved up the Bombi, and Max high-tailed it out the door of the shop! 😀
Kaulin is on it! He's the first person I have heard on YT to describe how to properly use a fire extinguisher. Great job Kaulin!
There’s no quit in MORR. My bad for thinking that this would end without a recovery. Never again. You guys are such an asset to the off-roading community. Thanks for everything you do!
Yep. Matt and his crew always find a way to get their horsepower to the ground, and that is not always easy. Great video.
The drone work on this vid was excellent!!
I do love the drone shots
That was one really hard recovery! Matt, you and the crew didn't lose your cool and got it done! Impressive!
31:30 i was hoping he wasn't gonna hook it to that cattle grate but thats exactly what he did and it worked flawlessly 😂 i bet Tom would hv been gritting his teeth on that whole situation 😂
Really cool that guy left a thank you note on Blue Steel
Great video, guys! Hat's off to Colby, Jake, and the editor(s). The Bombi did well for its maiden shake-down job. That huge smile on Katelynn's face every time Matt revved the Bombi...priceless!
The banana just works. That thing is a beast in all conditions
20:32 really expected the Austin powers clip here. good shake down for the Bombi.
I came searching for this comment!
You found the weak points in the Bombi, for it's maiden voyage it done awesome. One more thing, that was one awesome rescue from start to finish!!!!!!!!!!! MORR crews experience shows through when things become difficult.
Before the rebuild, all the points were weak!
Just love the way you gear up for these recoveries. Esp. preparing for a possible night out in the snow, with your insulating thick skinned arms, and your thermal short sleeved shirt,- awesome!😂🤓🤠
Matt I got a couple simple solutions for you I've dealt with that fan issue before and the best thing to do is drill tap and put a set screw to lock it down. As for the breaking issue simply adding additional rotors and calipers to some of the other wheels and tying them into the same brake lines that you use for your primaries will greatly improve your braking on either side and save you a lot of tear down and rebuild for redesign. My buddy has a snow cat and that was what he had to do to his to make it steer easy without going hydraulic and having fluid issues in extreme cold. And another thing to remember is drum brakes offer better braking power than disc brakes which is why semi trucks still use drums instead of disks. Also drum brakes will lock up whereas disc brakes will not so you can quite literally lock down the brakes on one track while driving the other track around it.
Having personally driven and subsequently converted a *lot* of different cars from drum to disk brakes, I can tell you that you are 100% wrong about drums having more stopping power. You are also 100% wrong about the lockup. All brakes will lock up. That's the reason we had to invent anti-lock brakes, which you'll note are significantly less common on cars featuring drum brakes, though to be fair that's in large part due to age.
Drums are an older technology that can function more reliably at lower fluid pressure levels. They also wear out much slower, meaning drastically fewer inspections. But the real reason that a lot of trucks still have them, is because a lot of our current truck fleet was built in the 70's.
Oh the joy on Matt's face driving the Bombi was fun to watch.
Bombi lives! Clean up the threads on that fan and glue it on with some Loctite 680 retaining compound. It'll never come off again unless you heat it to about 400F to melt the glue. (fyi, if you could find space for another diff, I can show you how to make a real tank transmission for it.)
Also, one of your rigs needs a train whistle. It'll be perfect for all the times you setup a Jeep train to get someone out. Jeep train Toot Toot!
Can you explain more about the second diff thing?
Second that!
@@jeremyspecce there are zillions of ways to do it but they all gear the inputs to a differential so that the output turns if the snowcat turns and is stopped when traveling straight.
Simplest and most diy friendly config I've figured out is to chain drive the left output of the steering differential 2:1 to the left track, the case 1:1 to the right track, then drive the right output of the steering differential to steer. Adds a 4:1 reduction between the steering input and tracks, the steering differential sees high rpm, and needs a low speed high torque reversible motor to drive the steering input. Doesn't need much power because the tracks only need to spin 10-20 rpm to steer, but needs a ton of torque so it can skid the tracks. ( Verified it works with Lego but haven't figured out how to post images in CZcams comments...)
Matt, take a minute to check behind the brass nipple that the flare of the brake line contacts in the master cylinder. If you can screw a small screw into that and pull it out with a pair of pliers, there may be a check ball behind it. It's a left-over from the days of drum brakes to keep fluid in the lines , and not having to fill and pressurize every line, every brake application. This could be the cause of your slow brake release. Honest truth from an old geezer/mechanic. Great video
This is the classic Matt's OffRoad TYPE Recovery that I started following their channel for!!! Been awhile, but well worth the wait!
You guys work well together. Humility and patience wins the day.
Fire Extinguisher, ## 1 shake the hell out of the thing, up and down to loosen the powder inside, then pull pin aim at base of fire and squeeze handle, by shaking you will get all 5 lb of powered, other wise you may only get 1 1/2 or so, # from a retired Firefighter
it's the same idea as when you don't shake a can of WD 40 well and run outta propellant to spray but still have a can 80percent full of oil with no charge left to spray!! Great Advice and thanks for your service, I have so much respect for the good men and women firefighters who keep our people safe!!🙏🏼🙌✌🏼
Awesome video and awesome shakedown "trial by fire" for the Bombi. That's how you find things to "Tweak" to perfection! Well done TEAM MORR!
Love seeing the Bombi in action!!! Plus no radiator leakage!!! So glad it made it back this season.
You know, I wasn't cold until I saw Matt's no-coat recovery.
Brushing the snow off the car in short sleeves felt brutal, lol....
I live in canada, where there's snow 5 months of the year, and would never do that lol
Yup he needs to stop doing this and put a coat on
@@minergate4066 Clearly not born in Canada then.
You get warm when working. I see nothing wrong with what Matt wears.
everyone not built the same. this past winter i was the only guy in the shop not wearing a jacket @30* just mechanics short sleeve shirt and i was perfectly comfortable not even a chill. The thicker your blood the warmer you are im guessing. the previous year i would freeze with a slight breeze at 50* even with a coat while on blood thinners@@bradleymadosh911
She does sound good and I agree she sounds like the Morvair. Once you get the kinks worked out, the Bombi is is going to be unstoppable! Thank you for sharing
I lost it when the fan came off the second time during the rescue! Thanks for a great video!
Hello Matt and your crew. Love that you guys are more like me and start using your stuff before they are completely finished. Makes life more exciting. Get a hoot when you tell someone to “go ahead and back up”.
The Bombi sounds awesome and it really moves across the snow! Watch out for whiplash!😉
Matt, how proud of your boys and crew you must be. I have watched them mature and become huge assets to the program. God is good.
God didn’t raise them
@@brendononeal3663 Nope. Just made them.
Nice to see the Banana out there being that extra bit of help to get that truck and trailer out of there. Though I wonder if Mayt ever wished he had the Wrecker on this job.
Good video of the BombBee's 1st shakedown run, and of your usual skill on display improvising in the field.
I am really glad you got another drone!!
"We might stuck over night with an untested rescue vehicle in winter conditions", so fill up on junk food! Great advise.
No tire chains . rescue gear & food.. No boy scout merit badges here..
Great video. It is wonderful to see Kaulin and Rhett increasingly take larger roles in the operations. And the Bombi got a big role, but let's not forget that the Banana really did a big role in this recovery. Just gotta wonder what that guy was thinking towing that heavy trailer into that area.
Banana for the win!!
Might have started snowing after they were underway or maybe they were looking for a place to turn around?
I’ve been watching for awhile now and have seen you guys do some incredible recoveries.
This one, MIND BLOWN!!!
Chains work real good in snow country. I like to put them on the front of my rig they usually help to get the job done and are a real labor saver.
Perhaps the additional weight of the rest of the engine cover and rear deck will help give Bombi more traction. In the olden days, too rapid engine deceleration was remedied with a dashpot on the throttle linkage - like a shock absorber, it retarded the motion in the last little bit to the idle speed screw. Mo' brakes! Bigger rotors? More pots per caliper? Vacuum booster? The good parts of the Bombi were good, and it looks and sounds great! Maybe you need a winter conversion kit for the big wrecker - tracks? Kidding.
Matt put a set screw in the neck of the fan . The part that screws on. Take sandpaper and scuff your brake pads and your rotars up. You guys are doing a fantastic job, keep up the great work and God Bless you guys and your families. Stay safe out there. 😊👍🙏🏼🙏🏼
I was about to suggest the set screw or drill and cotter pin
The crew are just on their game !!!
Just luv how you’re all keepin it real.
Cant believe the toyota did not have a spare for that tire that would not air up. .. You guys are awesome.
DANG!! That was a MASSIVE amount of weight for the little cat track to be pulling!
I have an old Oliver OC3 1953. It has turning brakes that are drum with bands that go on the outside of the drum. It will turn around on its own trackprint. I don't know if thats an option for you, just a thought. There is a whole lot of braking surface that way. And its simple.
I totally agree with Kaulin about staying warm. I love being outside forever, as long as I can be warm. Coveralls are great! Sorrels are great. Little hand warmer packets in the toes or gloves are good for 10 hours. Where there's a will, there's a way.
My hg68 turned easily. It had a wide stance and narrow steel tracks. The grousers were only an inch tall. The Bombi is the opposite. It's a pickle.
I love those. I've driven a several HG-42 models and a wider OC6. Unless you have the 31" wide model, they are relatively wide for their length and track width, whereas the Bombi is narrow and long with wide tracks. Those wide tracks are hard to turn.
Yeah...my old A John Deere has a foot brake on each side with drums and it will slide whichever wheel you want any time you want. I wonder if the discs being constantly wet in the bombi's scenario is part of the problem?
@@doug112244
Its not very wide although I haven't measured it. Pretty sure the blade is only 48" but the tracks are inside of that.

Super cool. Yours must be older that my JD. I have a 350C track loader with a clam shell bucket and rock pit tracks. I think its 1972 or 73. It has a single foot brake and hand lever steering. They all work the same brakes though. I love old tracked equipment.
Wow, guys, that was awesome!
Really challenging rescue.
Bombi sounds awesome and all the power, has potential. Loved the drone shots in this episode.
I'd suggest wrapping the exhaust pipes and installing heat shields to protect the cab, gas filter and battery.
Cool ride.
I think they already have plans for some heat shielding around the exhaust.
@@cdw3423yes, which is probably partly why the back cover was not mounted for this job
I appreciate that you show temperatures in metric. Measure things however you want, but showing metric units is pretty valuable to me!
If we would just use metric measuring devices, we would catch on right? Posting both more pictures often everywhere in this country would also help us with converting. All science is done in metric for the most part, so there are people with jobs just to do conversions ....do we just not want to lose those jobs 🤣👽🗿👽🗿👽
All we use at work is metric. Not on purpose, I don't think, it just worked out that way.
All you really need to know is -40 is the same in both C and F and 40F you need a warm coat and 40C you need sunscreen 😎
Nope. Not converting
@@marklar7551 My son asked for a 2x4 8 foot in metric measures and the lumber yard didn't have a clue. In Canada.
great recovery, great team work, great story telling! really enjoyed this one guys. good job.
Always fun to watch the MORR team. That last drone shot made me think I was watching "Highway thru Hell" . Nice work all around from the actual rescue to the video recording and editing.
34:30 you can literally feel the relief flood over you as they finally get this thing turned an on its way! :)
36:35 looks like a shot from the Discovery Channel - perspective, angles, clarity. Really nice.
Good to see the Bombi out working again. Tensions were high for a while but in the end she did the job.
That was a fun rescue to watch! Looks like you had a good shakedown cruise.
"Should be quieter" - Starts Bombi - DEAFENING ROAR! 😂
would have been a walk in the park had that trucks transmission not been toast, with it being dead in the water, and tossing the trailer on top of it, thats so much dead weight to pull on ice. nice work morr team. That Fan falling of was pissing me off, you kept your cool way better than i would have been able to especially after the 3rd time😂
Great Recovery...!!! Bombi did it well for its first time after all. Go Hydrostatic, less trouble.
That was awesome work MORR team!! Bombi sounds like a beast, looks, sounds and runs much better than before. Once you get the kinks out she will be solid! Love the show, thanks for sharing! :)
Collin ain't afraid of no cold.
Really enjoy all the drama and entertainment, but this rescue was a job for the Off Road Wrecker!
Things to add to your tool kit. A broom for snow, a jack, and duel brakes on each side of the Bombi! Oh, and lock nuts for the fan.
That honking while moving sounded like the brakes dragging. My guess is that the brakes may have twisted caliper plates, been either over-adjusted or pressure-locked, leading to dragging, then got too warm to be effective anymore. Were they standard pads? Ceramic pads will help with reducing heat fade, though the brake-pressure apply needs fixing.
Super impressive how that engine just powers thru that issue. So Mighty.....
I could hear the concern in Colby's voice when he heard Matt had brought PB&Js. 🤣🤣
Man yall really need pin drops so I can go exploring all these places yall are doing recoveries because they are beautiful!
