What a great team you have, and Matt absolutely love the way you treat your employees. No cursing, no anger, you have patience, and your a good teacher. This really makes your videos pleasant to watch. As a metal fabricator for 47 years it's a pleasure to watch a group of people who get along so well without tension. Keep up the good work. I like your fab skills and I think it's great that you have taught Lizzie to weld. So great to see young people with enthusiasm to learn a trade. Keep up the good work.

[@Simk1d]

for the battery location, I'd recommend doing a remote Pos and Neg terminal to allow for jumping other vehicles on the trail, either on the back of the rig or under the hood, and it make it easier should the wrecker batteries die to be jumped. BMW, Mercedes and Audi might all have examples of remote battery terminals you can bolt up somewhere.

[@wiresmith2398]

a little prep would make that easy - front and rear high gauge battery jumpers to Anderson power pole connectors, and a Anderson jumper cable behind the seat, sorted. Probably put a disconnect on those cables just in case.

[@Hewitt_himself]

tbh I would have a a waterproof mains hookup for a battery tender like a fire truck or ambulance has, the mains power would also let you keep jump packs and tool batteries charged

[@apex107lrp]

Just like many low weight race car classes...tiny battery for ignition, Anderson or similar type of connector easily accessible to connect to external starting battery. Many wreckers around here have front and rear or left and right side couplers for jumper cables.

Wish I'd fitted them to one of my own cars which is currently flat dead, with de -locked doors and difficult to get underneath it to access any power terminals due to boost pipework. I'll not make the mistake of letting this car's battery die again, painful lesson!

Thank u. I love watching the derbies but I haven't seen them much any more. Thanks for taking us with u on this.

[@coolinthewoods]

Brace your headache rack down to your optional boom brackets. Make them removable. Helps tie it all together. Looking great so far. Watching from Northpole Alaska!

[@vernevens1598]

I like that Lizzy isn't into all the main stream BS. It means that she is more intelligent and down to earth than most other people that choose to waste their time on nonsense pursuits. You can tell that by the fact that she is working with you and learning skills that not just most women but most people don't have either the intelligence or motivation to learn. Good for you Lizzy!!!

[@immortaltyger1569]

Completely agree.

[@jfk64kennedy95]

Matt, I can appreciate wanting to do a lot for community and take advantage your celebrity, seeing, experiencing things you wouldn't have before....but....seriously....you can't do everything, sometimes it ok to say "no", or you WILL burn yourself out...you gotta be careful...

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

I wouldn't be worried. These are the kinda guys that are happiest in the saddle living life to the fullest, and they'd rather die happy with their boots on. Some people would live longer if they worked less, other people would die sooner if they didn't work all the time.

[@MrStorbeck]

Watching old videos to fill in while in waiting for updates on the spud truck. Cool to see him describing the idea that he's now building.

[@duanemcguire2823]

glad to see the progress on the heavy wrecker!! thanks for filming.

[@kls816]

Don't you just love armchair quarterbacks?! Ugh my life is full of them too...its just noise. It's apparent you know what you are doing! Keep up the good work!! Love your team and videos!

[@MrSparks54]

The quick brown fox line came from the old days of mechanical teletype machines to make sure they were calibrated correctly. The wrecker is coming along nicely!

[@dozerboyd8784]

I knew I had heard it before in this context just couldn't remember where.

[@warrendon1388]

Yep, it contains every letter of the alphabet

[@MrSteveswain]

*question. Is the boom going to want to bounce (on the synthetic rope tension) while traveling ?? Love all you guys.

[@kenholmes]

“Johnny Five is alive!” Do not disassemble! I love you guys!

[@mountainsriversandtrees1474]

Love seeing that truck come along! Can't wait to really see it in action!

[@ColinRichardson]

So we got a call. In today's episode: Everyone has a party

[@YAH.]

hello. LOL

[@ColinRichardson]

@@YAH. good MORRning Y

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

@@ColinRichardson How's the weather way down here at the BOTTOM of the queue? I don't think I'll ever find out!

[@ColinRichardson]

@@JanelleVocate-Ames No rain.. Some Clouds.. Some Sunshine..

[@JohnFL]

Howdy Colin, I've been busy lately at work and haven't got much of a chance to say hi here.. we went back to church in person today, so it feels like more of life is normal again. How are you?

[@duathlete827]

As a senior citizen, I'm a bit worried I don't have enough years left to see the wrecker get finished! Every component is just temporary lol.

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

Their entire outfit is built on temporary fixes, haven't you noticed? Every tool they use is just a placeholder until it breaks and they can replace it with something better....

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

Be glad you don't watch Project Binky, but i think Bad Obsession Motorsports is finally getting close on the last details on the car after all the years. It's too bad they're rebuilding a bookmobile into a hauler for it too, so probably another 5 years lol 😆

[@duathlete827]

​@@ingvarhallstrom2306 I want my repairs to be permanent but they always turn out to be temporary lol.

[@dztxtea]

How could it catch on fire with all those safety procedures going on there? 🙄

[@abehemry5972]

5 out of 5 stars on build quality, content, and character! Thanks for all the cool videos!

[@destroytheilluminati770]

From Wisconsin here, the amount of space you guys have to run derbys cars is mindblowing, we can't even begin to pick up any real speed or to maneuver inside the barriers,

[@remorrey]

Thanks for not inserting a promo/ad for your products in the middle. I pay YT extra to not see ads.

[@vernmendenhall2527]

Kudos to your boys performance at soldier hollow on his bike... didn't want to mess with your family time, it was a fun day watching my grandson ride in the same race... keep on doing what you all do so well...

[@mariodominguez9699]

Matt you are an exemplary leader, and a humble person, and you transmit that to your team, great job to each of you. I am an admirer of the weather man Ed

[@andrewrobinson2869]

I love those safety glasses matt had on while cutting the foot pedal. Way to show people the correct way.

[@haroldphipps3457]

Blue tooth safety glasses.

[@lonhoschar1943]

Nice video!! I enjoy watching you guys (and gals) no matter what you're doing!! Wrecker is looking pretty good! Just need to get the cab on. Anxious to see the finished product!

[@yohahnboogaloo8158]

I used to do mechanical repairs on a cat scraper fleet in Australia, driving around in a Brazil built f250 with a diesel 6 cylinder it was overloaded and weighed over 5 tons . Running 265/75-16 tyres , if I let the rear tyres down to 30psi it looked like 5 psi , and I was amazed that could drive over and around some pretty soft areas in just 2wd . Don’t think your going to have any dramas , can’t wait for the finish ,

[@frick_works5082]

6x6 roll-off..... You could have multiple beds for multiple vehicles and recovery's..... I'm sure you've thought of it but never know if it's not said lol ... Thanks for all the great work and videos!!!!!!

[@RobertsAdventure]

Love this, thank you for the discussion of weight and the contact patch of the tires on the wrecker!

[@HerbGardner-ef1wx]

catching up again. Interesting comments about weight, and engine. I have seen a tractor pull rig with 5 V8's moved with a 4.5 Hp Briggs and Stratton motor, no problem. Its all in the gearing.

[@Black3ternity]

As always a great video. I think the many comments about weight and build quality / structural integrity just come from people that watch a youtube video where it "feels" like you just slap stuff together until it "looks cool". You don't show the "serious business" and behind the scenes where you calculate that stuff and make a scientific video for it. You make a fun to watch and enjoyable video that we all can like without being numbed in the brain by dry calculations and math. I appreciate that and I can't wait for the epic video when this thing will run through the sand together with the Morrvair.

[@edbenson98]

Those Demolition Derbies looked like you guys were having a great time slamming into each other!

[@xjchase]

Paul is a good dude, Neither one of your trucks had come to a stop before he was crawling over to your truck to check on you.

[@brandona2349]

Thanks for making being a good guy cool again. Nice to see one of us not finishing last.

[@leonardodavinci303]

Great video. Your one inch/grade 5 bolt(s) are fine for this application. The wrecker will tip or the rope/wire will break well before the bolts fail. Ignore the nabobs who criticize. Clearly you guys are more than capable auto engineers and craftsmen.

[@coopsexperience]

I was just watching the video of you two in a derby the other night with no clue it was you guys! Love the content, keep up the good work gang.
