Nice MOR
Big Tom 😤
This video made me like him a little less to be honest... goin to watch yalls video now..
Troll
@@vaughnmaurt5013 agreed, that was such a weird comment.
A degree in physics and a masters in nuclear engineering? Respect Tom Tom, respect.
You didn't think he was some dumb hick did you?
He's secretly building his Vault.
Next build... Nuclear powered Ford F150 lightning.

Tom's nuclear bomb off-road recovery.
(Serving the entire Area 51 region)
Tom was one of the best additions to MOR. He is a gentleman and a scholar! He is already at 127k subscribers this morning, which goes to show how much respect people have for him. Best of luck, sir!
I think he is a great guy. I will definitely be watching.
Lmao😂
Make that 136K subscribers
How does that explain denying homosexual special rights ?
He's no illegal mexican !
@@btphelps up to 142k now!
I don't think of you as leaving Matt, I think we just got another great youtube channel. And I'm sure we'll see the two of you together on many more adventures to come!
The fact that matt shouted your channel out and announced you leaving in your own shop speaks volumes. It shows his respect and friendship not only for you but for your success. Now time to get to work on 3 videos a week. Chop, chop 🚀 🌕
He no dummy 😁
Yeah, what about everyone els??
Maybe he just hated everyone else….. Jk. How would I know. I simply watch their edited CZcams videos putting out what they want the world to see. I don’t know Tom or matt or Jim or bob I enjoy their content. Just like you. Who knows why matt made the choices he made I’m just glad he made this one. Matt still has MOST of the old “staff” on his channel occasionally or he’s on their channels. So I’m assuming there isn’t much bad blood out there… 🤷♂️. (Comment back it helps drive TomTomShop out to many more)
Speaks volume 🤣😂
yeah better than the way dde do it haha
When I see people leaving Matt’s business, I see people that have grown while working for him. I think he is a great leader and teacher. When people leave better than they came I would consider that a success.
Matt is like your mentor/Dad. He doesn't want to see you leave but when you get to the point where you can, he will be proud to see what you do.
It reminds me of Rudy leaving MORR to work on his own projects, though in that case, it was a question of getting some distance from family.
@@bishwatntl They worked him pretty hard , which was great training. I could sense burn out and he was offered an opportunity. He looks more relaxed now.
Gotta just disagree. Tom Tom was the leader and teacher, not Matt.
Matt is like a true Head Coach. He teaches and fosters a love for the game; then he watches as his protégés head out on their own to build their careers. THAT's a legacy one can be proud of.
Tons of respect for you for leaving Matt’s shop so graciously and professionally.
Congratulations on opening your own shop! You'll be missed on Matt's Off Road Recovery.
The Banter between you and Matt was the best. After 30 years of friendship that's the way real friends talk. I'm Here. Love to the family for supporting your decision.
You were my favorite character on MORR. You will be missed, you guys had great chemistry.
Agreed on that... The guy was great with Matt's team 👌🫡
He is definitely a very close second to Lizzie
@@000622477 I agree with this comment. Lizzie was the face of MORR during her time, but I've always enjoyed TomTom, the Sunday shop videos, and his knowledge.
Yes I agree ! Well e watching and following Tom
You know they're not actors right? 😂
Holy Cow! That old picture of Jamie with the family...WOW, she hasn't aged a day and still looks so amazing. Matt married an Angel.
Jamie's awesome!!!
Can’t wait to see all the tape measures, rulers, vernier calipers, micrometers, and other measuring devices used on your builds! Good friends always support each other, no matter what!! Looking forward to what’s next with you Tom Tom!!
TomTom was at least 60% of the reason why I watched Matts off road recovery. I will definitely continue to watch but this channel has overtaken it's rank. I look forward to all your future projects!
Exactly. Word for word what I was thinking.
💯🤔 ditto
Ho cares
While anyone could tell that you and Matt were still on good terms, it's still comforting for an audience to hear from both ends that the parting parties are still on good terms. Glad to know that you're planning some really fun stuff!
Relationships like this last forever. No hate
Not sure I would want to be CZcams famous without getting a piece of the pie. I can totally understand why Lizzie and Tom Tom left. Glad Tom Tom is continuing with CZcams though with his own channel
@@paulb5390 It's not a very large pie. CZcams revenue isn't great. Don't get me wrong, Matt likely makes a nice amount of money, but it's not crazy money, and at this point they've got a pretty big staff that needs to share the pie too. But yeah, when you watch someone like Matt making good money, it's hard not to want to go your own way and make a little better cheddar.
@@paulb5390 So do tell every employer you have that you'll only work for them if they give you a share of the company they built? Matt gives back in spades to those who deserve it.
@jeffmcdonald101 I wouldn't work for $20/hr when my content is helping generate millions. Would you? Almost all of his employees have left since he started doing CZcams. It's mainly just his family members now. So I don't think I'm alone in that... Same story with Graveyard Carz. First couple of seasons were a hit, but Mark got all the 💰. He wouldn't pay 'his friends' anything for being stars of the show so they all left
I love MattsOffRoadRecovery show and I hope to see you back on from time to time. I look forward to following both channels.
Thanks for the update, I was wondering myself what happened. You were an amazing asset to Matt and wealth of knowledge, but also respect that you want to do your thing. Looking forward to watching your channel grow.
Good luck, Tom. Something tells me we'll see you in future MORR videos. And of course we'll be seeing you here.
Not only the bad apple subscribers but just wait, the click-baiters will be posting tag lines like "what really happened…” just to get views they aren’t talented enough to get on their own without dropping names. Tom Tom and Matt Matt will both be fine.
@@thomasbordelon4149 Yep, I remember seeing video suggestions for disparaging Matt of failures Matt had in the past form other you tubers about a year ago. I just ignored all those click bait videos. I didn't care what Matt went through years ago of business failings. I enjoy the MORR channel and Matt talks about what made him who he is today when he chooses. Wasn't going to give the click baiting you-tubers who disparage successful tubers just for a few clicks.
You're the only person who left Matt's channel that I'll be following to their own channel, can't wait to see what you end up doing!
You didn't at least follow Rudy too?!
@@Treyorrrr I sometimes watch the rebuild videos on the weekend, but the main reason I watch Matt's channel is because of the recoveries. Everyone who leaves and starts their own channel is mostly just doing build videos. No matter how much I like the people I just can't get as engaged with the content.
@@3xceIIent I hear that! I'm the opposite, live the build videos but don't care much about the recoveries unless they're a crazy one
@@Treyorrrr I did but he seems to be pretty slow getting them out. I enjoy all of them Trail mater, Matts, Robbie, and rudy.
The Misadventure Lab is worth a view or two (Tucker & Trevor's new adventures)
Congrats Tom. Total respect for what you have accomplished in life so far, Good luck and look forward to all your projects.
Thanks for mentioning how and when you and Matt met. Missionaries that serve together and make life time friends are awesome. Keep up with you page and bringing updates on your projects. Having content that is family friendly is what I like to watch. God bless
Unless your a missionary for the devil. Mormans aka Latter Day Saints teach a false gospel.
Oh man, I'm going to miss the interactions between you and Matt and the crew. There was a kind of magic in your interactions. That was a special highlight of MORR vids for me. I wish you well on your new enterprise and will be watching to see what you are doing. You are one really likeable guy and I know Matt and the crew will miss having you around, although I know your relationship is special and you won't be a stranger. Will certainly be looking forward to seeing the new Dig Dug helping out with a recovery or two in the future. Best of luck in your new shop and many happy adventures to come.
Yes. Tom provided the sensible "get it done right" approach that balanced the off-the-wall "close enough (maybe)" stuff.
tom seemed like a natural in front of the camera in the shop and on the road. Chemistry was there and Tom is very intelligent and has an excellent skill set. I'm jealous of the talent of there crew. It's never we can't fix it, it's how long is it gonna take to fix it. One of the draw of the show is their ability to fix anything it seems which is really cool for those that appreciate that kind of thing
The editing is significantly better than most newbies
The guy is literally a nuclear engineer, I'm pretty sure editing video is fairly simple in comparison 😅 I can't do either, but I can guess which one I could figure out..
Good video editing is harder than it looks. Doing it right requires some planning before you shoot any video to make sure you get the shots you need. And I think most editing noobs don't understand how much time it takes. That's why you see a lot of either raw video on CZcams or channels with dedicated editors. If you're running a business, you can easily shoot video as part of the job. But editing is like a second job.
Bet you a bill he's using Matt's editors.
I love that you met in your missions! I also served in Illinois Peoria mission. 01-03. Loved it! Good on ya! You’re living my best life! Good luck on your channel!
You and Lizzy made Matt's channel, it's going to be hard to stay a subscriber..
Thanks for making his channel watchable..
God bless your new journey.
As much as I’d love Lizzy to be making videos from her ranch or wherever I’m happier for her that she is out of the limelight and living her best life.
@@deadbeatdon I agree, it was just cool to see a down to earth, young lady, that used her talent and not her body to get people to watch, This world needs more classy ladies, like Lizzy.
Lizzy was the ❤️ of the channel.
I agree both Lizzy and Tom made the channel but we lost more interesting characters; I really liked Trevor; his humor is still not replaced. Or Randy. Rhett and Kaughlin (spelling is a bit weird for Red and Colin, must be a Mormon thing) are a bit boring. The channel needs characters!
I loved them both but I still follow them. Rudy moved on as well and is doing his own thing now too. That's how things go. Matt's team is always evolving and changing
Your personality around Matt and the gang will be missed. Naturally your skill set too. Best of luck on this new channel.
New Shop? $200k. Video equipment? $5000. Cutting up Matt’s claw hammer? Priceless!!!!!
God bless you in your new adventures in life, and may he keep your friendship with Matt stronger than ever.
Congratulations! It's so good to see more and more members on the platform. All the luck in the world to you.
Matt's Off-Road Recovery is an excellent launchpad for people to learn how to make a CZcams Channel successful. Then, they can leave Matt's employment and strike out on their own. Good Luck, Tom Tom, and I wish you all the success and followers you deserve...

Didn't work out for Trevor....
There was an interesting video on the 1320video channel this week featuring Cleetus Mcfarland where he described his journey to becoming a 3.5M subscriber car channel. His content is great, but his production values are terrible with constant hose-piping of the camera leaving the view motion sick. I made a comment in that video using MORR as an example of how CZcams should be done using two or three full time video editors, who put together footage from multiple camera angles plus lots of cutaways. We barely notice the editing in Matt's videos, which is how it should be. So all of those people who left MORR to start their own channels have a good grounding in how it should be done. I made the point in the Cleetus comment that yo NEVER see hose-piped camera footage on Discovery Turbo or any professionally produced TV. Getting the footage is only half of the job. czcams.com/video/9Vvi285rvfM/video.html
Getting me more inspired....
@@garyquartley1084 whos Trevor ?
And wow! Look how much the MORR fans have embraced… almost 100k subscribers already!!!
Keep it up Tom Tom!
105,000 strong and exploding.
@@OFFGRID_Trucker And this video has gotten 285,000 views since it was posted 12 hours ago. In the coming weeks it could reach a million or more.
Awesome to see another great channel inspired by Matt’s off recovery. I am sure the loyalty among friends will continue and will only get stronger. Cannot wait to see more your channel.
I had no idea!
Thanks for posting this Tom Tom, I'll be following you too!
Hey Tom, I'm a 70 year old fabricator/sculptor, and have really appreciated your interactions with Matt. You have a good dose of common sense, and have introduced many good practices and proceedures into Matt's shop. As much as I appreciate the good natured theme of the off road recoveries, the Barney Rubble fabrication methods in the fab efforts drive me crazy. I look forward to seeing what you take on! Don't forget to stir some playfulness and jocularity into the mix! Cheers!
the shoddy builds and breakdows because of the hatchet work got me too. hard to watch
8m also a 70 yr old fabbrekayytorr, carpenter, plumber, electricitian, and too many hats to mention...buuuut...sorry, no nuclear physicist down here!
This precisely mirrors my thoughts. Good luck with your channel Tom.
link to your channel?
Tom, Love how you glazed over" nuclear engineer degree"...master's @ that...who knew...but NOT surprised. So excited for your new channel!!!! I'm in!!! You GOT THIS!!!
nuclear engineer Blew my mind... That's so awesome. Also reiterates that he doesn't "need a job" doesn't need to get "youtube rich" he's probably very vested in his retirement etc funds, he's a smart guy obviously .
Yes, I was surprised when I heard that but thought "Of Course". Very knowledgeable guy who doesn't seem to shove that stuff in your face
Matt or Tom Tom have mentioned it in passing on Matt's channel a time or two. I've joked that Matt + TomTom = NuclearFarmgineering 😂
Tom is book learned. You can tell by how precise he is . Matt's a derby guy who builds by eye sight . If Tom Tom was not on the wrecker build it would not be the great vehicle it is ✓
I visited Matt and his shop he is so down to earth. Great to hear you are building up on your own. Subscribed!
Congratulations on your new journey. I’m sure you’ll have an amazing time making new memories. 👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽
Your channel will grow like crazy as you are an honest down to earth person. Plus, you have a lot of exceptional talent.
Tom`s not gone, hes just spreading his wings and flying on his own, the "Tom`s MORR Journey" was something we can all be thankful for, now we get to support him and watch him grow on his own projects on his own channel. wishing you big success on future endeavours on this channel Tom, i`ll be here every step of the way, thanks for sharing
The reason I folliw all of you people is the mad love and respect you all show each other, there's just so much love going on between you and we need more of that in this world. Respect!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you're up to!!!! Blessings to you and yours!!
That claw hammer bit at the end got me good, lol. I've been watching MORR for four years and it got to the point all I was watching was the builds. So I was excited when you started your channel and I think you're off to a great start and can't wait to see more content.
Well said. The builds have been my favorite episodes, even more so after Tom arrived at MORR. Matt's respect for Tom's intelligence has been evident from the beginning, the degrees were no surprise to me.
Going off on your own is part of nature. All strong lions leave the pride to start their own!
Matt's kids have really grown and are ready. Look forward to it.
The photos of you and Matt on your mission were awesome. It’s so great guys like you, Matt, Paul, Robbie and Chad making such great content! I love watching all of you!
I binged MORR content for at least a year a while ago. Went through almost every video there is. You stood out for me as one of the favorites in the team. And I'm definitely subbing for the shop content as that's what I'm interested the most in.
I’m so glad you shared those old photos of you and Matt. You also answered a bunch of questions I’ve had over the years. Great video
Dude you're blowing up on CZcams look at your view count man that was so awesome your family has been so blessed
One of my favorite guys at Matt's. Glad we found you here to keep up with you brother. Amazing story. I majored in biology and minored in chemistry, and work on cars and trucks every day and make a good living and love it. So I hear ya.I also worked in surgery and maintenance at the local hospital too for over ten years.
Wow! Love the back ground story! Thanks Tom-Tom! And Good luck on the next stage!!!
Real friends lift eachother up and thats exactly what you and Matt have done!! I will be watching your channel just as much as I watch his! Good luck Tom Tom we are all rooting for you!!!
I can honestly say that you brought a lot to Matt's Offroad recovery with your interactions, wit, smarts, and made it that much more enjoyable with your personality and humor as well but I'm glad to see you're off on this new journey and I am definitely looking forward to more great content. ML from Arizona
Tom, you have been a favorite on Matt's Recovery, but moving into your own channel will be great too. I look forward to seeing where you take it. Enjoy the ride!👍
The first thing my wife said when she found out you left mats off-road recovery and started your channel was: hey well, we better subscribe to the new channel. I’m glad we did!
Me too ✓
Tom, I've been watching matts offroad recovery for quite some time. You have such talent I enjoy both you and Matt brainstorming and building the wrecker, the morrvair, the Golden nugget, and all in between. Looking forward to seeing your personalized projects. I've been disabled from work injuries and reoccurring illness for 15 years and seeing my desires being invented and created through these channels ( matts offroad recovery, fabrats, and now Tom Tom's garage) is amazing. Love what you do! A huge thank you for what you do!
So good to see more LDS folks on YT here, you may not remember @Tom but I was attending BYU-Idaho at the time and came to one of your guys pop up at the SE Idaho county fair. You guys have motivated me to get outdoors much more. Thank you
You’re a good man Tom! You were Matt’s voice of reason. You have my respect and support. Can’t wait to see your future work.
True. Now Matt will go insane! 😅
You've been a big part of @MattsOffRoadRecovery for the last 18 months and have brought a lot of good content and respect towards Matt and team. I'm sure they will miss you. Thank you for all the wonderful Sunday morning fabrication memories. Looking forward to watching you build Dig Dug and whatever other projects you embark upon. Good luck!
you were such an awesome part of watching the channel. wish you all the best on all your future endeavors
Congratulations! Great move. Can't wait to see your builds!
Tom Tom Nuclear engineer Blew my mind... That's so awesome.
Also reiterates to the fans that he:
doesn't "need a job"
doesn't need to get "youtube rich"
he's probably very vested in his retirement etc funds, he's a smart guy obviously.
He's the kind of guy who thrives in new and challenging environments, Who else goes from Masters in Engineering to Off-road Master, Tom Tom We'll be here for you!
Well said! Great person to look up to as well!
Glad you’ve gone solo Tom, and Dig Dug deserves the attention 👍
Sad to hear that you are leaving but very excited to see your own journey and projects. Very well done!!!
Congrats on your new venture Tom. I’m looking forward to seeing your projects.
Glad we got more history, makes total sense now Tom. Thank you.
The claw hammer bit at the end was great. Good luck on your future endeavors Tom Tom. Look forward to the upcoming builds.
Was that a 'CLAW' or was it a 'RIP' hammer ???
Glad to see you go out on your own. It means that we will have another great channel to watch.
Thank you for this! It's so good to hear the history of how you got involved with Matt's off-road recovery! I understand everybody is different but it would have really been nice because there have been so many cool people at Matt's off-road recovery that have left and I'm sure the reasons were probably very benign but it would have been nice to have an explanation for all those other people. We got it for Lizzie and Rudy but we didn't get it for Trevor, Tucker, Skeeter, Etc
It's nice seeing the history between yourself and Matt.
Excited to follow your builds. Remember to include your witty comments and sense of humor! That quickly became one of my favorite parts of watching Matt’s off-road was your sense of humor.
Congratulations on your next step!
I will miss seeing you on MORR, But look forward to seeing what you do going forward, good luck and God speed
Good Luck, and props to living your dream. Thank you for kind words and showing what good can be done in the world
You were a great part of the MORR team. I hope to see you continue to team up with Matt and the team while building your projects. The Dig Dig project is a must! It’s been a favorite since you joined the MORR team.
Tom Tom you were always my favorite cast member, you will be missed for sure. but I look forward to see your builds and work to come. Dig dug could use a light bar for sure. Best of luck!
You were a big part of Matt’s team and you’ll be missed. I’m happy to follow you here to see what you’re up to. Your fabrication skills are impressive. Keep up the great work.
I wondered if you would address two questions i had left on a previous video.
"Why Tom Tom?" and "Why Dig Dug?"
You are a top bloke and I'm going to miss you at MORR, the rapor you have with Matt is one born out of mutual respect and that is valuable.
I'm interested to see what you get up to now. Best of luck.
Thank you Tom Tom! I look forward to following you every step of the way. Your energy and great sense of humor will serve you well in this endeavor. Thanks again!
Thank you for setting the record straight coming out the gate. Pray for your success. 👍
Good for you, Tom. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Have subscribed and looking forward to watching your updates.
We wish you all the best!! All works out the way it was meant. We love your work as well
Cant lie, gonna miss ya on Matt’s channel, always looked forward to your input on builds. But looking forward to what the future holds for your new endeavor. God Bless.
The mission pics are GOLDEN!! So glad you have been able to be a part of MORR! Can't wait to see what the future holds for all y'all!! Great videos.. even GREATER people! ❤
What a great video. Puts a real perspective of both of your lives. I'm so glad I watched this.
Lucky for us another grand channel to watch and enjoy!! The best to ya, my friend
We stopped in at MORR (our 2nd visit there) while traveling between Illinois & California last summer, and had the honor of meeting Angela there. She was so welcoming & kind! She also shared the story of how you and Matt met in Illinois, so it is cool to see some photos from that era!
Looking forward to more of your projects, Tom!
Thanks for this video, Tom. I’m thrilled for you; working in your own shop and doing your own projects.
I know Matt will call on you when he needs you.
Hey Tom this is a great story. I’m from Soda Springs, relatives in IF and Pokey. Have loved watching the stories. I’m the soldier you met at the overland event up in Salt Lake. You’re all great people and I appreciate the work you’re doing. It’s motivated me to build an overlander. I made a 1996 Isuzu Trooper into my current primary vehicle. Keep killen it! I’ll watch.
I will be looking forward to seeing your builds Tom Tom. I wish you all the luck in the world for busting out on your own!
It’s nice to finally see a backstory about you and Matt. I never understood why Matt hasn’t done a video on how he got to where he is now.
He's done some interviews about that. That's usually something someone else puts out. Derek from VGG did an interview with Matt on one of his channels, or the O'Reilly channel about that.
Since I've been watching Matt's off road recovery, it seems like he goes through a lot of people. Good luck on your journey.
Yeah you have to wonder if maybe he's not the ray of sunshine that everyone paints him to be! Good luck Tom!
It seems to me that if you sell everything to move there you never planned to leave. Yet, here we are.
@@donmcannar800I dont think its about that. In youtube world a lot of people eventually leave bigger channels when they get famous enough to start their own channel. It happends all the time actually. Tom Tom can now work on a stuff he wants and get the views (money) for it.
@@donmcannar800 I think some saw the money Matt was getting and thought they should get a cut of the pie. Also think they figure I can do this YT thing and are doing it. You get to remember its a job as well not just play time. People change jobs. There been a few car builder tv shows that came out and said that they had people leave because they thought they should get more money because there was getting money from the show as well and client but the owners of the shops actually showed where they wasn't even making money most jobs because of all the BS the show wanted them to do .
I just now found out Tom left MOR. So obviously this is an automatic subscription for me. Tom is one of my fave people in MOR and I am curious to see where this channel goes. This reminds me quite a bit when Will Stelter left Alec Steele and that turned out quite okay. Looking forward to seeing more of this channel
Congratulations on your New Venture. It has been wonderful watching you working with Matt and Family / Crew. I'm sure we're going to see you on a Recovery with Matt and Crew at some point in the Future or on a build that he may need some help on. Keep up the great work Tom and I'm looking forward to enjoying your channel.
That ending with the Claw Hammer!! Too Funny. Some wont get it but Matt will get it. And that parting shot! or rather parting tire spin!! LMAO (Piston's on the Bus go up and down!).
he got me lmao
Thank you Tom!! Wish you the best in your new journey!!! Hope to see you on Matt’s show as a guest! I will watch your channel too! Congratulations!!!!
My name is Tom in an ASE certified technician. Wish I had my own shop . Your gonna kick some a$$ dude. Subscribed for sure!
Good people doing cool things is a win for everyone. I can’t wait to see what you cook up with full dedication to your own channel!
Good luck Tom Tom!
That's awesome that you and Matt met on your missions.
Great video. Love following both Matt's Offroad Recovery and Tom Tom's Shop. Wishing you both great success. 🙂
Always enjoyed watching you with Matt - Will be following you on this channel!
Looking forward to seeing your builds and where you take this. You have become a part of a bigger family and community . Keep forging ahead and take us with you. We will support you and your channel will grow.
I'm a draftsman and I love your attention to detail and precision.
