I recommend some kind of shield along the sides of the engine to protect it from whatever your tires hurl up there. Sand, snow, ice, rocks, branches, etc. Also, the editing was hilariously awesome this episode.

[@widdly-scuds]

Maybe a rigid inner fender out of sheet metal, braced up a bit but still open on top to get down to the starter/easy access to the plugs, mounted to the frame, not the hood/front clip though. Thought the same, last thing you want 30 miles into the hills is to have a branch get speared up through the engine bay and start ripping lines and wires. It would also help to deflect anything from spearing straight into the cab.

[@haroldphipps3457]

Most of the internet haters that think they’re “rock crawlers” or avid off roaders are clueless…that wrecker is starting to look like a belly dragger.

Very good point !!!! Most "Rock Crawlers" or "Off Roaders" are not the people who will be calling for Matt to come rescue them from some thing that could probably be driven out or pulled out with a friend's vehicle. That being said Matt keep up the good work. Love that you are keeping trails clear and the weekend warriors safe.

[@UberLummox]

"Belly dragger" is a good thing...or?

[@Chobham]

@@UberLummox It's a good thing. For it's size it will have a low(er) center of gravity plus Matt can use airbags to lower the suspension if he wants to.

[@Chobham]

@@so.ca.desertlife6229 On the contrary - I think the heavy wrecker will be perfect for those heavier pickups/jeeps or overland vehicles driven by more seasoned drivers that get stuck in a really bad spot or are badly damaged. I meant it more that the comments Matt is getting on the project are from the less experienced people out there.

[@greglee101]

My 5 year old grandson is a new fan and just watched this video along with 3 of your rescue videos. He loves all things involved that move and work in the dirt. His grandma asked us what we were watching and he explained it like this. “There building a HUGE off-road wrecker to pickup vehicles that are stuck in the off-road cemetery.” 😂 He then said, “but Grandma, they need a hook!” This kid is off the charts smart and has a huge vocabulary. He obsessively builds things and has his own miniature dirt construction area in our back yard. Thanks for the videos and keeping them family friendly. We live in Gardnerville, Nevada just South of Carson City. We have some really great (hard) off roading trails right out our back yard!

[@akfireems]

Matt, a suggestion for your side winches, on our heavy rescue (fire department) we had one 20,000 lb electric winch built into a receiver system that we could just move to the sides, front or rear as needed. Just slid into the 2 inch receiver, plugged into power (each site had its own plug) and good to go. Saved us a huge amount on money not having to buy 4 winches.

[@Qp0int]

That’s a good idea

[@UberLummox]

Given the success of this channel, I doubt money is an issue. But sounds like a great idea. Maybe suggest it in the next video. He mighta missed it. Although I think sometimes more than one winch is needed, but if he could use just 2 winches in the manner in which you suggest, it would save WEIGHT, and I know for a fact he's is concerned about that!!!

[@brandonsilvay4822]

At the same setup back in 2016 had the quick disconnect battery plug and a receiver with a winch and pull pin move it to where I needed it I had a spot on my front bumper and rear bumper when I went mudding or when I need to pull someone out or whenever I need to flatline Towson I would use that toe cable instead of having to run a strap

[@murraystewartj]

Matt, I've never been into off roading or rock crawling, but I can see what you're doing with the placement of things like engine, cab and so on. Maybe it's my lift truck training, but you always have to keep centre of gravity AND combined centre of gravity in mind (vehicle plus the load plus height of load and, in your case, severe angles). I got that right away when you started this build. Don't know what engineering credentials you have but sometimes hands on experience beats a degree any day. And if something needs fixing after a few field tests, well you can do that too. Can't wait to see the beast earn its pay. In fact, if you haven't already chosen a name, I think "The Beast" would be apt. That think looks like serious business even when you guys are just pushing in and out of the shop. Lots of funny stuff in this one, was a joy to watch. Warms my heart to see a bunch of people within one business working hard to achieve a goal, but also the incredible support your related businesses lend each other. Seems like a great community of like minded friends. You are lucky.

I've watched the wrecker build from the start. Remind, Talk About the sealed frame with air (Ballast). I haven't heard you talk about that since you built the frame. You put a lot of time into welding it AIR-TIGHT solid as well as the 30-something rebar pegs welded through to take out the bow of the cap of the frame ballast. I think that was not only essential but it also looks SAHWEET like rivets and frame stiffeners. Let's see that 54" tire beast in action ASAP! By the way, I'm so impressed how Lizzy has become such an important part of the team especially since Rudy parted to make his own channel. She welds (not typically the desired job but doesn't complain, keep ahold of her so she doesn't take her skills elsewhere), she drives the many various recovery vehicles being yanked and towed as well has a great personality for the camera, and VERY EASY ON THE EYES. KEEP THE CHANNEL GOING! P.S. I'm a new huge fan of Rory, trail Maters. He has come a long way with his commentary and filming on the channel. ***Taking his 100+ inch wide dually backward down obstacles that would frighten even buggies going forward.

I figure that you know your business due to experience and you have your desires in mind as you think about the features you want in the vehicle. I watched the reveal of the Golden Nugget to Ed already and you guys (as a group) turned out a magnificent quality rig. It made Ed happy beyond your greatest hopes and desires. What a group. And what you do for each other to show your appreciation is heartwarming. Keep it all up as you have been doing, it makes for good watching.

I had no idea how everything is going to work the way you want it to but you had fabricated so many off-road vehicles that I have no idea how you did it so I had 100% confidence that you're going to get this one right too. I do not have a clue but I know that you do. God bless you and your family and your crew and keep up the videos because we love watching them so very much

[@spdodger]

I love this video! Keyboard warriors being politely put in their place. Thanks for the smiles!

[@bernieshort6311]

Happy birthday Rudy, here’s hoping you had a good one. It was nice to see the entire crew together who have rebuilt and painted the Golden Nugget. I am sure Paul and his brother (Ben, I think it is) will manage to finish the Golden rig without any damage for sure. Just have to slow things down a little. Ooh, I have already seen them working on it and they are doing just fine. I don't know why these armchair moaners complain on all of your channels including Rory's channel, he gets hammered by them. It is OK to ask a question but anyone who doubts any of you guys should know better. Everything you guys’ touch (Robby and his crew, Rory and his crew, Paul & Ben and their helpers including yourself and crew Matt, you all do outstanding jobs, and I would put my money on you guys anytime. Thanks for all the update, Matt. I saw another large offroad wrecker, maybe called Metal Masher, not sure but was at the 2019 Easter Jeep Safari and run by Kenny Hauk, it’s a 6 x 6 on 44" rockers and ran the entire trail. So, there is no doubt in my mind Matt that your Monster wrecker will do the job once it has its shakedown and any adjustments required are made. I have seen you Matt, using a tape measure at least twice now, you really need to be careful, I have heard it can become habit forming! Thanks for everything guys and girls until next time - see ya.

[@jenniferharton6383]

All the projects are so exciting to watch. We love Robby, Paul and their crews. Thanks Matt for introducing us to your great buddies. Happy birthday Rudy!! We love you!!❤

[@tobiastho9639]

I love how you adopted Robbys humor... never stop impersonating each other for fun... 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@omarvilla7476]

Wow! I’m in the video (guy holding merch bag). Best part of stopping by last week was meeting Ed. What a class act. Had a great time talking about gold mining. Ed’s got stories for days. Thank you all for all the hard work that goes into making these videos!

[@morsecodereviews1553]

This episode is hilarious and heartfelt. I'm selling all my possessions, moving down yonder and taking up an apprenticeship with these folks 🤣

[@MrPabco]

Another great video guys and gals. I love how LIZZY is the default welder now. What a great crew you have built Matt. Well done. Thanks for bringing us all along. And yes, I too love how Ed goes into his default weather report when in camera view 👍👍

[@pear7777]

Lizzy is the designated welder.

[@Breckylab]

Looking forward to seeing the heavy wrecker being finished. The golden nugget is looking so good now, will be lovely to see ed’s reaction when revealed. Cheers for another cracking episode. From the 🇬🇧

[@rupertkingsley]

I’ve just watched you wheel the wrecker in and out of the shop, but there’s one thing confusing me. Does it fit in the shop? 🤣

[@426shelby426]

We need to know

[@gord7025]

Isn't it getting bigger tires put on as well?

[@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546]

[@BJK1715]

what shop does Rudy work in? 🧐 Bigger doorway? 🤔

[@rogerinlow5033]

Matt, I love what you and your team does. Keep on keeping on.

[@Treeves30]

The collaboration between the three channels is really awesome! Love the Golden Nugget episodes too!

[@davedennis6042]

One of the glories of fabricating your own "Worlds Largest Off Road Wrecker" is, if something is not designed just right, you can always make the changes and tweek your work. Happy birthday Rudy! (Late) I love how all of you guys (Robby, Fab Rats, and MOR) work together and are not overly competitive about it. What a team!

[@DonAshcraft]

Oh! I'm so happy that you're going to have many winches on all four sides like Rory's Trailmater. I had never seen that before but watching Rory's truck do recoveries it's just amazing how well it works. And now the industry is getting away from steel cables, it makes it safer and more friendly too. And yes! I realize you might need steel cables still for certain heavy towing applications. 🌝 Not everybody leaves critical comments, I'm learning and I love what you're doing on this build!! 😎🌝

[@braamvorster8249]

I like what you're doing for Ed. I was involved in a similar project my parents did for my grandparents, it feels great to see someone else doing the same for an older/aged person. 👍

[@Slick_58]

I have been watching the golden nugget build from retrieving it from the mountain dragging it thru the river to the present and I am excited about as much as all of you. When Ed sees it he will be amazed, we may see tears of joy.

[@rockyheath2301]

Matt you and your crew are doing a great job on the heavy wrecker. I LOVE THOSE OLD INTERNATIONALS. I have a 1964 R190 log truck that i started out my driving jobs in 1967. My wife and i enjoy allof your and you buddys videos. We hope Ed can enjoy the golden nugget for many more years . THANK YOU FOR SOME FINE ENJOYMENT.

[@sethtriggs]

I laughed out loud with "Party in the front, business in the back." What a fascinating project!

[@chubbrock659]

Should call it the mullet truck!

[@joshuacook1977]

I love what you're doing with your wrecker, I'm super excited to see the finished product, and see it in action!

The new heavy wrecker you're building is completely awesome. Watching every second of WLORW video. Please keep it up!

[@fieldinglover]

You could build toolboxes into the roll cage , can't wait to see you give Ed back his Suzuki !

[@MrWheel88]

This is one of the best videos you guys have done. Answering questions light heartily but precise. Great humour and awesome editing and cooperation from your fellow fab guys. Also what a great group of friends to build a custom ride for Ed. You are all amazing people. 🇨🇦

[@TrevorDyck]

This was a GREAT episode! Really enjoyed the quick paced informative Q&A. Humor was on point too 😁

[@sgarvey496]

I usually don't comment but I truly enjoy your channel even though I am not an off roader per se. I have gone off road for work purposes including a stint salvage logging with a 6 x 6 military wrecker, driven in some gnarly places. I applaud your choice of engines. During my last business venture I had a 2005 3/4 ton suburban with that engine in it. IT WAS A BEAST !!!!!!! I pulled a trailer usually 12-14k lbs. It never slowed down. I lived in the Dallas area and had to drive at 75-80 just to survive. Again, love your show. Wrecker is amazing. Cant wait to see how it turns out.

[@jccorder1]

Great video and love how you and Paul and Robby have shared all of this with us. Trevor, can you add a low fuel light to the off road wrecker? Make it a strobe light.

[@robertwhite7845]

Actually on the contrary I think Tucker should get a raise for asking constructive questions👍💸

[@christopherweise438]

They already gave him a 4 Runner......i think he's good for awhile.

[@robertcruickshank5617]

A raise? Tucker gets paid? I thought he paid Matt for all the stimulating fun and adventure....

[@johncraft8175]

Wow, this episode had something for everyone. Questions answered, weather report, update on the shop, fender build for Robby, update on the Golden Nugget, and a birthday party. And love Trevor's new look. Fire Tucker for challenging the boss and being wrong, that's what happened to me.

[@jcamps2222]

The Golden Nugget has generated for so much wonderful content for so many awesome channels... I feel like it's priceless at this point. A really phenomenal example of a single project/idea benefiting many.

[@infamouswoodster]

Matt: Down to earth relatable guy Also Matt: I have a race car in my attic Love watching your videos, just never know what to expect!

[@paintlover70]

Wow, was surprised by the measurements. Beast looks bigger than what the measurements are. When I first saw the wrecker, I thought there's no way that is going to fit in some of those trails, but my next thought was that you wouldn't spend the time to build something that wasn't going to fit.

[@02Gorillaz94]

It's awesome to see everyone's progression. Morr's recovery vehicles and crew, Fabrats shop and project cars and Layton's channel and involvement. 😁👍

[@theLTrain700E]

Great to see Rudy again in MORR video. I know he has his own channel, but it was good to see his "cameo". Awesome bunch for sure

[@codystrock1700]

Great choice on the engine. 8.1l's make lots of low end torque and are incredibly reliable.

[@gymshoe9235]

agreed

[@glazedandconfused4756]

This is probably one of your best videos to date and it's hilarious how you have to spend so much time explaining things to people who don't get it 🤣

[@mten6968]

The cameos in this video are just so perfectly placed 😂. Thanks for answering a ton of questions on the heavy wrecker. Looking forward to it being done and on the trails!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Sooooo... is it going to fit in and out of the shop? :)

[@Tazzspaz]

Yes but only because they are doing a chop top.

[@44amanaplanacanalpanama44]

not after they fully air up the tires and air bags.

[@why_do_we_have_to_use_handles]

What about with the bigger tires, I believe the ones that he will be using are not on there yet or I may have missed it

[@StlrNtn95]

@@44amanaplanacanalpanama44 I doubt he will have much air at all in the tires....

[@dawildcatz87]

I would highly recommend hanging the HVAC unit aginst the ceiling vs storing it in the attic. This is because maintenance is easier so it will be done more often. Every new air handler is also poorly insulated, the unit will have a longer lifespan in a conditioned space. Leaving the duct exposed will also save you money not having to insulate it.

[@riverrat8647]

The Robby impersonation had me rolling!!🤣🤣🤣

[@gofish2393]

You guys are the real deal! Thank you for sharing your lives with us. We appreciate your hard work and the extra work of all the filming. I was laughing throughout the video and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
