    I can't believe people are blaming Chad. Chad rushed to get the wrecker ready in times for the games. It's a testament to Chad's near OCD level of organization that given the time constraints that the entire harness doesn't need to be scrapped and started new. To just be chasing small gremlins is a huge win for the job Chad was asked to do.

      @joshuafeagle7009 Před 8 měsíci +73

      Considering he didn’t even have time to even field test his fabrications after design,build and install the small gremlins they are chasing should be considered a miracle.

      If you blame Chad you probably have never built a car's wiring harness from scratch in your life, or your project is still in the garage waiting to be perfect, everyone else gets it good enough and then field fixes what they find later.

      He's no electrical genius, the dude has the electrical sense of a Pepsi can. Let's not get this twisted. The dude might have been able to do it, but it's not done well. 6 weeks is plenty of time to wire up a vehicle. He's slow and inefficient. Just because he's on CZcams doesn't make him good, let's leave credit to our electrical boys where it belongs. We're only seeing the problems that Matt and crew feel like sharing with us, not the entire story, and after seeing what he did, it's not great. I'm all for giving credit where it's due, but Chad aint it. Good on Matt for supporting his team though, it's good to see.

    I was once "rescued" in my '74 GMC Jimmy by a buddy with a "borrowed" logging skidder. Why does the Wrecker remind me of that day? Mostly because it comes across as unstoppable. The articulation combined with the rear steering, the tires and the power make the Wrecker an awesome offroad recovery vehicle. The combination of winches beats a logging skidder hands down.

    It's amazing that you have been able to build an offroad wrecker from the bottom and a white piece of paper like this. The rig is incredible and an impressiv construction. A construction that should be fantastic good also in other situations and other industries. Just think of one simple thing, tractors used on bad roads or paved roads. The problem often is that a rig is good on the fields or offroad, but not so good on different types of roads. Some will maybe be angry with me, but I have never seen a rig like this one. I'm bowing my disabled old body in the dust because I'm madly impressed. Congratulations to Matt, Tom and all the rest of the team. You are really doing an impressiv job, but I have in a relatively short time written so much praise of you that I have to be careful that you shouldn't just take off my friends😅.

Jaymie is so awesome she loves that big wrecker and so do we! Rhett, Colby, and Tom did a good job assisting with this recovery too. Good recovery video Moor team! Love seeing you stop at Fab Rats and checking out the new shop and trailer turnaround spot. Always good to see Paul, Ben, Hunter and the team there.

    I loved seeing you guys do something outside of your normal recovery. Being born and raised in BSF land my whole life that looks to be a more normal recovery lol. Mud and more mud is what we have. Interesting to see how you navigated the muddy parts. 4x4ing in the Midwest I can tell you don't see it all that often! Lol. Great video guys! God bless

    The way you pulled that out is how cable skidders pull wood. They will kick the winch into free spool. Then Climb over the obstacle then pull then wood back into them.

    What a lot of folks tend to forget is that this wrecker is a full one-off build. Nothing is stock or unmodified. The fact that it does what it does now and it isn't even finished says a lot about the people that built it.

    Wonderful video and crew. The wrecker is one badass machine for sure. It is almost impossible to stop, and I am sure Matt will just keep making it better with Tom. I sure liked the sign on the back of the Ford that said, "cancer sucks." If the customer or his family has cancer, I wish them nothing but the very best outcoming! Fab Rats shop looks great!

    • @davidwoermansr
      @davidwoermansr Před 8 měsíci

      I hope my guess is right on the next build and those monster military axles TomTom got awhile back go under that C65 Matt picked up and the worlds largest off-road rollback gets built to complete their growing fleet of off-road recovery vehicles and I agree with the cancer sucks sticker I have them stickers made in 6 inch pink letters for all my vehicles and 2 inch for my tractors combines and all other motorized farm equipment we get it's the first modification I make in memory of all family and friends lost to that misery

    The wrecker will always be a 'work in progress' vehicle, but it's impressive what it can do now. As all the bugs get worked out of it, that thing will only get better. I also appreciate that Matt knows his/it's limitations. He knows it's not unstoppable so he figures out the best way around what would stop someone who just charges on.

    The last three videos of the Wrecker makes it apparent why you put in the rear steer. Without that your job would not have been very possible. Also good to see the dedication of your 'camera crew'. Mud, rain, dust sand...whatever, they are there to document everything going on.
    BTW - Still miss seeing Lizzy on your recoveries. Hope she is doing great with her ranch life.

  • @chrisbaer4567
    @chrisbaer4567 Před 8 měsíci +27

    Matt - those mud tires don't work if they arent spinning fast enough to clear the treads. Put the pedal to the floor and let the mud fly. You can see that they just held onto the mud and turned into slicks.

    • @tramvaj12
      @tramvaj12 Před 8 měsíci +7

      Yeah, but you can use mud just as sherp. Swim through it. If you eject all the mud it will lay on the axels.

    • @ParkerUAS
      @ParkerUAS Před 8 měsíci +13

      @@tramvaj12 Exactly, you have to have a good idea of what is under your layer of mud. If it is is harder below it, then sure spin out if you think you won't bottom out. However, in a situation like this where you are on a river that just flooded, there is no guarantee there is a reachable bottom and you could wind up stuck. Sticking the "World's Largest Off-road Recovery Vehicle" means there aren't really many things that will be getting you out.
