I'm Saying GOODBYE To The World's Largest Off Road Wrecker!

[@MattsOffRoadRecovery]

A little more information on the wagon build. 😮 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ-pcpKgjtB4Ztk

[@JimmysAfterHoursAdventures]

I've been seeing the forward movement of towing vehicles behind the wrecker. But been thinking a single solid bar between the axle an your hitch point on the wrecker would be super helpful. A lorry lift idea like on a heavy wrecker only I think for your Idea of climbing about up an down rocks a 3/4 S layed in below the vehicle till the wrecker would work better in your case. But a single bent pipe or made up box would work so it can swivel still an extra would be a old shock added in line if there was room. But something long enough that if it swings up the towed vehicle is pushed back from hitting the end of the boom. For over an above that nothing else could happen the towed vehicle with two lift lines and the cross strapping your already using Tom toms long walks will only be optional then.

they should add a larger distance legend/scale to help people visualize how large Utah and the American West is. They're driving 300+ miles one way in some of these videos.

[@MaximRecoil]

I would name that thing "Jitterbug." When I was a kid in the early 1980s my father had a 1940s or 1950s 1½-ton White Motor Company truck with a body style that was similar to that big yellow wrecker. It had two transmissions connected to each other so that you could put both transmissions in reverse to get a very low forward gear. A truck modified like that was called a "jitterbug" around here (Maine). They often had a homemade boom winch and were typically used in the woods for harvesting firewood, which is what Dad used his for. The ones with a boom winch were kind of a poor man's cable skidder. Even though that big yellow wrecker will never be used as an actual jitterbug, it would be the best jitterbug ever. It could even outperform an actual cable skidder in some areas I suspect, due to its extreme suspension articulation and high-revving big block gas V8 (high-revving compared to a skidder's diesel engine, anyway).

Your idea should be viable in some situations and I would love to see a response from MORR if they researched it. Edit - And then I found this: FAA regulations require drone operators to maintain a visual line of sight of their drone during flight. Operators looking to fly their drones at long range (and beyond the operator’s visual line of sight) will need to obtain a BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) waiver from the FAA, which is typically only granted for approved commercial drone operations.

Jared at AMW4X4 will take very good care of you!

[@richardpetker4337]

Didn't say goodbye for long. Watching this a year later and you still have it.!! Don't be MISLEADING!

[@rullstolsjagarn9401]

How hard is it too call you and say that’s the care is saved and fine so you and the team don’t take many hours in the trash! I’m looking at all of your videos. Gratings from Sweden 🇸🇪 🤘🏻Keep going that you doing ❤️

[@danbeckstead2020]

Ya know about the boom on your other non off-road wrecker? That picks up the cars tires and prevents it from running into the back of the rig?

[@camojoe83]

Shhh...

[@marklar7551]

If the good Lord wanted me to see the sunrise, he would have scheduled it later in the day 👽

[@reubprue8602]

12:03 You can easly drive out of that. I'm guessing that trk is not 4x4 so turn your steer wheels hard right and back rear right wheel up onto bank. Rock back and forth to create a path up the bank. Use the momentum to lung you out of that hole. If the trk is 4x4, do the same thing with the front right steer wheel.

[@dhag72]

Aawh man. Shoulda picked up the wagon before dropping the wrecker off. Could have used the wrecker boom to lift the front of the car up from a 90 degree, back the trailer under it, set the front on the trailer, then lifted the back and pushed it on with the wrecker! Also side note Matt, a boom extension even as simple as an engine cherry picker with pins would come in handy on the wrecker! Just an idea! BUT without the wrecker, why not jack the front of the car up and back the trailer under it instead 😂

[@joesphbest3120]

You guys are something else, love every minute of it.

[@robertscranton8293]

Chad: Please put a new windshield in Matt's wrecker. Thanks..

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

Find him one LOL

[@AJNpa80]

But that windshields got patina... That crack makes it one of a kind, if he gets a new one people won't be able to tell it apart from all the other antique Internationals on full custom frame-on-up builds with 5 foot-ish tires.

[@johnhpalmer6098]

Yes, those curved windshields are not likely made anymore, so finding one that's not cracked is one, or have one made at likely a great expense is two.

[@chuckrf1502]

Just call Safelite. 😂

[@aidenweldon5298]

Don't you know? Just fill the cracks with toothpaste and put it in the microwave, fixes it right up.

[@GraniteRWolf]

Love all the content. My only gripe is the durby car. We are so far from the days these cars were everywhere. It saddens me deeply knowing that lovely wagon is going to be chopped into a durby car when there's so many 2000s cars that could be used. Keep up the great content. Hate to see that survivor be chopped and crushed. One on the last.

[@bushratbeachbum]

What is the derby car? As a non American I've no idea!

[@GraniteRWolf]

@@bushratbeachbum here in America we have demo durby races, where cars are taken, stripped out and used in a kind of gladiatorial combat where you run your car into others and the last car driving wins. Great back in the day when we had lots and lots of big strong steel cars to use. But now those cars that use to be throw away or worthless to most people are becoming much, much harder to find. It's like taking a antique and smashing it for laughs.

[@emersonb5764]

The big sturdy old cars hold up better. It’s where a lot of our vintage 4-door cars went, since the 2-door models are the ones desired by those that would restore one.

[@philh8829]

We the people of this channel love Chad, the peoples man!

[@AndyTheWise]

Love the ramp set up lol and it got the job done! Just a thought for the World's Largest Off-Road Wrecker, how about some small outdoor seats with seatbelts and arm rests mounted on top of the two tool boxes for riders? Also you can mount a folding jump seat over the shifters inside between the passenger and driver seats. It was a busy day and sorry that you got ghosted. I would have been really frustrated about that, a simple phone call or text could have remedied that.

[@armithel3133]

3:08 Im not even sure I watch these videos for the recoveries anymore, i watch it for the editing!!

[@DownNDirty_OffRoad]

That much driving makes for a long day, but Utah has endless views!! Can’t wait to see the derby action. Just watched Paul’s video on his car!!

[@johnhpalmer6098]

Saw Paul's vid just before this one, including an "epic" fire! LOL.

[@carmstrong782]

If only you’d have had a rollback in that exact location earlier. 😅

[@MrMARKKIND]

Underrated comment.

[@JointerMark]

But wasn't it going in for service?

[@TBrady]

Matt, just get a Titan Tank for your 6.7 already. You'll be so much happier with the extra range. Maybe even a drop tank for your bed to fill the Wrecker and Morvair.

[@Buzz-Tea]

Watching all those videos of the the Wrecker in action something came into my mind: Mount two weather-proof seats on the toolboxes facing rear. Space for 2 more people or dogs...

[@trubass75]

Odd that the wrecker isn't secured with Matt's straps.

[@MrGarfield4]

They MAY not have enough rated capacity for the weight of that awesome monster. Just sayin’…

[@madkow007]

Matt's straps only have a working load rating of 1500 lbs. Not sure I would even use them with a car on a trailer. You need to hit the brakes or get in an accident, I would be afraid 2 of them would not hold a 4000 lb car back even if it was in park. They are more atv/utv straps. If it was me hauling a car or pickup (and I often do) I would be using 3 to 5000lb. working load rated straps. If I had to haul that wrecker around, I would only use grade 70 chain or better.

[@n6cid]

@@madkow007 I guess that 10,000lbs rating was BS.

[@trubass75]

He has used them in the banana or morrvair.

[@larsharris]

@@n6cid when did they say 10k working limit? Straps I use have 3300 lb load limit but 10k breaking point. That’s normal. You try to stay under load/working limits. Which should be @1/3 failure point.

[@Okkebeltman]

Kinda curious why you never take a canister with some extra fuel on the road. Can imagine its usefull both for the cases when you run out, but also sometimes for some of the people you have to pick up.

[@jeffstreck]

Can fuel canisters explode if they get too hot?

[@camojoe83]

Same reason he never has the ability to put air in a tire. Yootoober *first* Recovery...eh...

[@jasonbrownlee7467]

I've thought the same thing! I just put it down to not knowing how the business works 🤷‍♂️

[@Okkebeltman]

@@jeffstreck I just checked, petrol auto ignites at ~250 degrees celsius (480 fahrenheit) and diesel at ~210 celsius (410 fahrenheit) Should not get that warm , and even you worry about that, a simply shelter so it doest get direct sun should help enough (or put it in one of the trays on the sides)

[@jbcollins5781]

Matt is so professional, yet so unprepared.

[@camojoe83]

Those things don't go together.

[@Jimmy_Jones]

The business is a professional. Matt isn't. Lol

[@TheJimmyswint]

Professional with adhd 😂

[@davebenson1504]

I am always amazed that Chad can take a pile of "stuff" and get them installed and working in spite of what the client (Paul, Matt) has delivered

[@thesven2010]

For those not from Utah, it’s Gunnison… not Gunnerson. Those of us from Utah need to educate others on Zion, hurricane, Tooele, etc. you guys are awesome fun to watch all you do

[@MattsRecoverytelegraamme]

Hit me up 👆for a package

[@tripleeathletics]

Never thought Matt would clickbait us! Oh how times have changed… 🤦‍♂️😂

[@AFloridaSon]

It's not like he said it was goodbye forever. Do you only tell people goodbye when you're never going to see them again?

[@davidjames5727]

Once all these channels get so large they outsource the editing and titles, and those persons are creating the click bait titles, one of the worst is Scotty Kilmers channel....

[@michaeldiebolt5290]

Some people are just jerks with no respect for others.

[@timmorin69]

I'd love to know what the mileage is at on Blue Steel. That truck is an OG on the channel and is always putting in work!

[@paulcooper2897]

That was fun to tag along for the day! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@slibsager]

I highly suggest to get the 60 gallon replacement fuel tank for blue steel. The extended range is great.

[@judih.8754]

Jake should make it into more video's when he's available. Seems like a cool dude.

[@brucep9123]

Matt, When you are forced to use the highway trailer to get something off-road; It might be good to attach the ramps onto the upper surface of the trailer. It would be almost impossible to "wipe-off" the ramps that way (instead of them being stored beneath the trailer - where the big rocks live!).

[@robroaring7175]

I’m 20 seconds in and already smiling hard. Tom-Tom grinning in the background gets me every time. You guys are legends. Ok… now to watch the rest of the episode! 😂 Rob, Australia

[@cmcer1995]

Well, Matt did the Right thing to still check on this guy. The "Guy" did the Inconsiderate thing in not calling when he got out. Maybe you should get all their information first and verify it, including Creditcard info. So, if someone does this, they can be held accountable and charge them anyway. Just a phone call if someone gets you out is the Right thing to do! Maybe someone will see this and let you know? Glad the rest of the day went well for a long day.

[@vickihittle609]

Nice Cutlass. Absolutely loved my old Cutless Supreme. She had plenty of power. I would drive something like that after being fixed up a bit. Have fun derbying that one.

[@eveljkov]

worst case, you get to drive around some dunes in the desert in an awesome vehicle. win/win I'd say.
