Overcoming Problems On The Worlds Largest Off Road Wrecker!!

[@maxironpaw]

You all are so chill that you make that 'happy accident' artist dude look manic.

[@bulletproofpepper2]

A juice box and a victory pie holder. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrUtubeobia]

Chad, you and your family rock! Your wiring work and attention to detail is out of this world. Keep up the great job of teaching and passing down your knowledge to your kids. The world needs it.

[@dontremaine5209]

It’s hard not to admire your cumulative knowledge, skill and patience. 👍🏻

[@mrolsen6987]

I would make a box in the center console behind the seats for everything you always have with you, like food or the victory pie. And then do a couple of drink holders on top back against the wall, better to have the water bottles back there than have them rolling around on the floor... Cheers from Northern Sweden!

[@anotherdave5107]

I was thinking a built in lunch box too.

[@anotherdave5107]

Put a permanent sign / plaque on the ashtray front that says CUSTOMER'S KEYS and make it a key drawer

[@K-4U]

Or t-shirts...

[@eshootziscrs2868]

That's a built in fridge for pies, water and stolen sodas. Let's get it wired, run off the AC and insulate it.

[@spaight711]

An insulated cooler area behind the shifters would work nicely to hood victory pies and other such things.

[@davidpillo3664]

I wish more fabricators would put this much thought into their work. 👍

[@joshmccoy1522]

Take all the time you need, Chad. You having the wrecker makes Matt's channel much more entertaining. None of those easy recoveries that the wrecker made for them.

[@rickardee8539]

Dusty's a natural and an asset to the videos.

[@Westerntraveler]

Dusty and Chad are on heck of a team too

[@chadsfab]

Dusty is that! And we LOVE having him and Tyson around so much!

[@kevinbrennan2004]

There's something very wholesome about watching your channel. It clear to me also, that there is a lot of respect shown, not just to your family, but to the entire crew. Such a breath of fresh air, when you consider what's also available on KZbin.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

Everyone on all these channels are devout Mormons

[@MarkWaltersSeattle]

Matt needs a flashing light on the dash to warn him of low fuel 😆

[@gmcman355crazy]

This is an awesome idea hahahahaa

[@chrisantoniscountryman-pur9954]

And it doesn’t even have to be hooked to anything. It should be programmed to randomly flash!!! Haha

[@chrisnaaa3378]

7 flashing lights and a siren that progressively get worse after a half tank hahaha

[@mrfunnylookinhayes9088]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😅😅🤣

[@Westerntraveler]

Definitely Chad please!!

[@vineslinger]

At least Matt went to the right place to finish his wrecker. It is not easy wiring it correctly but it appears you take the time to do it right. Most people don't have the patience to do it right. And it doesn't cost anything to be kind. I like your little anecdotes. Shows how you think too. ❤❤❤

[@veetwin75]

Chad, you're a very patient man, you and your team do excellent professional work, great job to everyone

[@briantilley3158]

Definitely impressed with the use of military grade connectors on the firewall connections.

[@Doogie_Causey]

Chad and Stacy, your family has the patience of Job. Y'all keep up the good work

[@katreniaclark]

With the world's largest off-road wrecker goes a 200 page book of all the wiring. Glad it is getting done. GOOD JOB EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!

[@husamabudawoud3258]

Watching those harnesses come together and sitting down to reorder the terminals on paper by hand till I'm satisfied that I got the best config n build done. So satisfying my hands are tingling. I need to get down to that workshop again.

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

It is truly amazing all the different things that you and your team can work on. From the engine themselves, to the electrical systems throughout the vehicle, from top to bottom, Hood to Trunk! I can’t think of one thing that you fellows cannot fix or work on! Absolutely, truly absolutely unbelievable. BRAVO! 👍 BRAVO!! 👍 BRAVO!!! 👍

[@sw6188]

I'd put the air-horns on the cab roof facing forward, along with some orange marker lights. The wrecker is deserving of some loud-as horns and up high they'll be heard for sure. You could run an air-line up through the cab and just have a quick-couple fitting so the cab can still be lifted off.

[@robinhodgson7629]

The discussion and consensus of opinions is what makes your work so good.

[@christopherthompson4359]

Imagine how awesome Chad's Griz will be with all the practice on Paul's and Matt's wreckers. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

[@augieschultz2530]

Nice work guys. And I can watch with my grandkids. Thanks for that.

[@chadsfab]

Absolutely, that's something that is important to us too!

[@Ramblin_Rob]

oh my! that new truck on the flatbed brings a tear to my eye. My father-in-law had his (The exact truck) for over 20 years till he passed...

Chad, your knowledge of wiring is incredible. So happy that you are able to pass it on to your Boys! Your fellow KZbinrs are definitely benefitting from what you do!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

WOW so many wire's! What a nightmare! Your family is the best in the West! LOVE watching and listening to you guy's!

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Thanks for the video Chad and Crew 👍 great job on Matt's Wrecker,got your hands full that's for sure ❤️❤️👍. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️.

[@marvincarter870]

Love seeing Stacey working in the shop learning the electrical trade from the best! I love how this biggest wrecker is coming together for Matt.

[@johnnyadams1755]

When asked a question I always say I don't know, but I know a guy that does. Chad you are that guy 👍.

[@richardlinn5512]

They have pneumatic actuators for those crimpers when you have a lot of the same pin type to install, for when you don't have three handed operators :)

[@xfactor5876]

What an incredible amount of work. This truck will be work of art when you get done.

[@robertthompson9554]

I Really Admire how you interact with Corbin. When I was his age and was learning from my Dad to work on motorcycles, i always got the impression that i was in the way and asking too many questions. I Love how you let Corbin fit in with the rest of the team. Hats off to ya Chad.

[@chadsfab]

I've always enjoyed having the boys in the shop with me. They break up the monotony and make me laugh. There is the occasion when I do have to send them back in the house... boys will be boys.

[@The73rdSecret]

Man that's A LOT of wiring work.... I could never be this organized. Since you started working on the wrecker I see you taking notes and constantly changing everything as the project evolves 👏🏻 congrats

[@martylawson1638]

You have to be at least that organized on a complex project like this. You'll just spend forever chasing errors otherwise. Looks like Chad 'n crew even had each wire printed with the function in addition to color-coding. I've only seen that before in aircraft work. It will really pay dividends when maintaining the wrecker.

[@gailtaylor1636]

@@martylawson1638 You buy a fuse panel with harness that is marked. They then customize it to add circuits. Still a huge undertaking. BTDT but at lesser expertise. You can pretty much buy anything yo need now. When I was doing it, salavaged connectors from other cars.

[@TheImmortalsCa]

Need a pie holder as well. Maybe some storage area for misc items as there is nowhere to simply lay anything. Great video and learned a lot here. Thanks Chad-fam

[@fishpolice150]

Great job !! Good to see that the wife is helping with the wiring.😊

[@Buck1954]

For that style of truck, the air horn goes on top of the cab. A little loop lanyard comes down to operate the horn. Of course, that's an air horn. But burying a chrome air horn in the engine bay is a no-no!

[@lolesoffroad]

I sure wish I have an auto electrician guru in my neck of the woods, you guys definitely rock Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦

[@tstephens128]

Maybe there is, networking helps, (just checked out your channel) you are west coast, and Kyle Fisher is near the west coast #MakeitCustom.. Try meetups and such.. Good luck, looking forward to watching some of your videos.

[@lolesoffroad]

@@tstephens128 Hi Tom awesome thank you for getting back to me , and that’s a very good info. I been watching you guys from the first time you showed up to Matt’s OffRoad and recovery and was very impressed with the knowledge you guys have Keep up the good work Cheers

[@laurence1643]

I really like that Stacy is hands-on actively involved , not just videoing and editing.

[@petergrimes2466]

came here to say just that!! Love that the entire family is involved with this business!!

[@Buck1954]

videoing and editing is a lot of work.

[@clevine08]

Like she doesn’t have enough to do 😂

[@eshootziscrs2868]

Just gotta love Stacy, she brings sunshine in her personality. Wonderful family. Something about traditional values, too unusual today. A message by example, nothing better.

[@Lexidezi225]

Yea she’s a worker but editing isn’t easy. That shit takes a ton of time and patience. I couldn’t do it that’s for sure

[@cbcowart933]

YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN CHAD!!! >>>Just make a small butt pad between the seats just to have something to hold a person and share the passenger seat. They really need it. Just make it small so air could be worked in to come out 2 vents on the stop/ side of that little seat. He needs to mount 2 seats on the back, they sit on the boxes but I am sure he could come up with something. I love all the NEATNESS that you and your guys put in. Being a perfectionist I really appreciate quality work. Thanks for sharing! CB

[@georgevindo]

I was thinking the same thing, a miscellaneous compartment that flips up open and an upholstered pad on top for an extra small seat.

im stunned!!!!!!!! you lost me at purple 🤣

[@vangoodwin7335]

A show worthy build of a working off road wrecker, MORR is no different than other towing/recovery companies, looking good working! Thanks to pros like Chad all these parts will work together clean. Great work folks, seeing this attention to detail justifies your bill, well worth it. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

Make no doubt about it. Chad's Fab's channel getting several videos and many more subscribers plus Matt paying make for a healty paycheck

Talk Matt into front camera to help spot and rear camera to see either what the wrecker or the towed rig is doing.

[@josephobrien942]

Chadmeister keep doing what your doing, you and your family are ringing the bell. Thanks for a great video

[@robertheinkel6225]

What you call connectors, is what we called cannon plugs in the Air Force. Rewiring an aircraft was a time consuming job. Every wire was white, but each wire had a number inked on it about every foot, to tell them apart. We marked each wire as it was being built.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

You and your sons do excellent work. You are a very well oiled machine.

[@davidhawthorne9637]

Yall do amazing work I love watching you work especially on Matt's rig. A tip for that helicoil is once it's fully inserted remove the tool and turn it 1/4 turn and out it back in and smack it with your hand, That will usually break the tang off then you can blow it out with air or just let it fall out. That works about 87% of the time for me the other 13% of the time i have to snap it off with a skinny pair of needle nose plyers.

[@JerryTip]

Thanks guys! And Gal!

[@rickardee8539]

And of course always nice to see Stacy in the videos. Chad you have a very talented family, love your videos.

[@brockrasmussen4740]

Chad, you and your family are rock stars! Attention to detail is out of the ballpark. Cheers from Spokane Valley, WA.

[@dajones1128]

OLD SCHOOL....was CABLE LACING using a Waxed String/HD Thread instead of spiral wrapping with tape. We had a flat hook tool that was a spacing width..and like a canvas sailmaker stitching, we would Loop and Hook and SPACE and Loop and HOOk....etc until we had the cable bound together. The color wires were easily visible for wire tracing.

[@chrisantoniscountryman-pur9954]

All your kids are incredible but Corbin is an extra special young man. Such a bright personality!

[@davelee9087]

That spot at the rear of the console needs a 'junk' catcher (deep tray) for the many little items that Matt and others will have with them. As mentioned, Victory pies too! Never too many cubby type spots in a working truck.

[@FamilyPastors]

Customer key pocket

[@chadsfab]

The rear section of the console is for the HVAC system

[@timvanasen6711]

All in the family, great job Stacy...didn't realize the wrecker needed a lot more work. Need 2 sidesaddle seats rather than sitting on a box.

[@Person-ly6im]

Plus, Chad resembles Archie Bunker, lol

[@vernowen2083]

How I remember my days in engineering and laying out wire harnesses. Did one job and when it went to production, some assembler thought they had a better idea. Then after 20 units were built and failed, I was called out to solve the issue. Their better idea was something I had tried but found it caused interference in the control wires. So, they had to go back to following the layout as designed.

[@ateamoffroad1179]

Awesome video I love wiring so it's super relaxing even to just watch you guys do it. Nothing better than super neat and clean wiring.

[@Person-ly6im]

Impressive complex wiring especially with the bulkheads due to the removable cab. Bowing to Chad and the crew.

While watching you sort out where all the switches should/could go,I started reminiscing and missing floor mounted dimmer switches +

[@georgevindo]

[@MrChrissy1r]

The finesse and care you guys take is really inspiring, yo uall work so well together and your posts are great. When I was working on my old Landover I noticed a lot of waste of space for instance in front and behind the wheel arches inside the rear, so I cut oblongs out and made metal boxes that Hung in the openings a few self tapping screws to secure and metal lids, I stored tools and spare bulbs spark plugs a condenser and a set of points, a tow rope a jack and still had spare space. Why not do similar for the centre console of the wrecker for perhaps drinks and snacks spare light bulbs etc etc. I had easy clean seat cushions made they like bench seats.

[@mattc.310]

Slowly but surely... Nice work by everyone.

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Love the detail and the great way your family seems to love working together; quite refreshing indeed!

[@88fxstd]

It seems that every time Matt operates the rear steer, he has to think about which way to flip the toggle switch. Why not put the toggle on the shifter and position it for left and right operation. Flip it left, turn left, flip it right, turn right. No more thinking. :) You guys do great work!

[@stargazer7644]

Because you don't always turn the wheels in the same direction. You turn them opposite direction in a sharp turn, and you turn them the same way to crab.

[@88fxstd]

@@stargazer7644 I get that (crabbing), but most of his steering is left or right turns so why not set it up to what you do most.

[@patb7843]

Love those ICON lights too!

[@spacebike420]

In a few of our tractors we have a lcd touch display and when in the lights menu there is a cab diagram of the tractor and every light and you can just click them and they come on and setup preset profiles. So when i snow plow lights 1 is front lights only for driving down the road and lights 2 for all around low lights for plowing when i need light. I couldn't imagine wiring all that up from scratch which is what your pretty much doing!

[@hughdeweerd]

You need to add a seat to the console. They always squeeze extra people in. And add a couple seats in the back for the camera crew.

[@kolesleight2842]

I think a good idea for the console behind the shifters would be to wrap a board in padding and leather that fits that space, put cup holders in it, but make it removable so that you can still get to the space underneath.
