I love your channel! I'm in Oceanside, CA, but grew up in Orderville so I get to see places I'm familiar with. We called Hurricane "Herr-a-cunn" when I was a kid. Pop bought his first 4x4 in 1957, a Chevrolet short bed step side. I was 12, so didn't drive it much. Then he bought a GMC long bed step side with a V-6 -- much better rig than the Chevy.. It was purely a work truck (folks were in the "rock" business -- Fisher's Rock Shop) and we rarely if ever drove it for fun. We travelled in the same areas you do, though, and we spent a lot of time off-road in southern Utah, Arizona, Arizona Strip, and Nevada. THANK YOU for all the fun!

[@Chris_at_Home]

The problem with any air tank is it collects water. If the frame is still sealed up a little linseed oil can be put into it to prevent rust. This is done on steel tube light aircraft for this reason.

[@dawabbitt3079]

Besides incorporating the Doubler into your build, I was wondering why you haven't considered using a Turbo Encabulator? Not only would it supply inverse reactive torque for use in unilateral phase detractors - but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters, for much easier shifting. They've had, for quite some time now - a new design available... Instead of power being distributed by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it's now produced by the modial interaction of magneto reluctance and capacitive deractence.

Why does this make muffler bearing come to my mind?

[@dawabbitt3079]

@@AcePaul - The muffler bearings on my ZJ were seized after years of neglect. When I replaced them I was happy to see that they were redesigned by simply incorporating a single zerk fitting. I never bothered to grease them before, because I couldn't loosen the duplator to slide the scranaflange back to access the bearing and pack them by hand. The original bearings were made out of Prefabulated Amulite, surmounted by a malleable logmetric outer casing - in such a way that the two inner Spurving bearings were in a direct line with the Panametric Fam. I was really happy to see that these new ones are stamped showing that they're made from 100% post-consumer recycled Mountain Dew soda can tabs, because the Prefabulated Amulite has been banned for containing radioactive materials than can contribute to the formation of tubloidial buttnoids in Desert Tortoises.

@@fragletemmer Doubt it, but maybe no one really knows. From what I've witnessed in life most young men who grow up with a dad that owns / runs a business, the boys usually don't want anything to do with it because they want to go do their own thing and not have Dad breathing over their shoulder and telling them what to do everyday, like still being a kid living at home. Give it 5-10 years and they eventually start to realize spending time with your Dad is probably a good thing as he ages and having the opportunity to be more mature and start making decisions in a company you'll get to inherit is fun and exciting, giving a real end goal of all the work you put in. Give it time, he'll be back one day to help his dad out. Or maybe not, his younger brother may take that role too who knows.

[@jonnoble9219]

The frame is technically a sealed vessel, however, even though you are not using it as an air tank it has regular air in it, not dry nitrogen, plus multiple penetrations now and you operate in hot and cool conditions this may cause condensation inside the frame leading to rust and corrosion. I only know this because I am in a much colder clime. It might be a good idea to figure out a way to saturate the inside of the frame with an oil or a rust inhibitor. Just a suggestion though. Great job on it and I am looking forward to seeing it in action

[@knobleindustries8106]

Hey Matt and Crew! Been following for a while now and know the names of everyone but I think some introductions are in order! Also wanted to say that on my projects I always wrap my exhaust from the headers back in that titanium exhaust heat wrap you can find on Amazon. It virtually eliminates heat from the pipes. You can touch the headers as the truck is running and not get burned. This will eliminate the need for heat shields and route heat out the tail pipes instead of disipating into the frame and surrounding components. 👍👍👍. Love the show and can't wait to see what's next.

You could always slightly pressurise your chassis and run it to a gauge in the cab. .5 bar or there about. That way if you ever get a crack in your chassis you will notice it immediately. So much of your chassis will be hidden by the build and ancillary equipment. It would only cost a few dollars. Also positive pressure will mean that you never get rust on the inside of the chassis, which presumably is unpainted.

[@nicholasherman8155]

Your guys build is coming together so good. I love watching all the builds and shenanigans! I also build and modify everything. Since you are on to doing exhaust again and again I have a suggestion. Many many years ago my brother and me stuffed a Chevy 350 into a 4wd s10 blazer with a 5 speed manual trans behind it. We kept all of the factory functions of the vehicle in it so had to run headers to make all of the stuff clear. We found that the headers would crack every couple weeks from the heat and rigidity because we much like you mounted everything super tight so it wouldn’t rattle on things and I hate the sound of exhaust leaks. Finally I put the soft flex couplers in below the headers that newer transverse mounted engine run so that the frame could flex and the engine could rock a bit on the mounts without breaking the headers apart. I would recommend the same go in your exhaust system so you don’t run into the same issues. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. Thanks Guys

Watching this videos really gives me faith that I can build anything I set my mind to, even if I've never heard of a rivet gun

[@brianhaygood183]

Heating up the air in your air tanks is actually a great idea. It just adds a little pressure. The pressure regs would take care of anything extreme. The heat just means the pressure stays higher. One of the big problems with compressed air is that you pump the tank up and then you lose a ton of the energy you just put in because the compressed air then cools down. Problem solved.

Good to see it coming along brother!

I can’t imagine the crew’s desire to get the Wrecker on the road. But you don’t cut corners and you even do some things 6 times 😁 Btw just received my Matt’s Straps. Quality item, best I’ve ever had. Thanks!

Good to see more progress on the wrecker. I can see it'll likely be some time yet before it hits the trails. It will be interesting to see how it all performs once it's ready enough as you'd say. No doubt they'll be changes as it gets to work. Love watching the whole process though.

Love the wrecker!

You need the cross member mount left at the transmission. Maybe add support for transfer case. The trans will be adsorbing torque from two different points.

[@TIMMEH19991]

Definitely think vertical stacks at the front would have been a much easier idea and would have looked very rad!

[@RedBull10812]

Rory trolling you even harder considering he doesn't put untested and unproven prototypes on his rigs lol.

[@russellhltn1396]

I was going to say the same - he's letting Matt be the Guinea pig.

[@agentcrm]

Yes, surprised they're going prototypes when there's already well proven options on the market.

I think I speak for a lot of us viewers when I say I’m very glad to hear that you abandoned the idea of using the frame as an air reservoir.

Hey Matt- you multiply the ratios of your transfer case and doubler, not add them together. Rounding for 2:1 and 3:1, your output is 6:1 from your input.

[@GunnyPerrero]

Matt you are my spirit animal. I would recommend a flexi hose section between motor and chassis on the exhaust pipe. It helps with flex when motor moves on the mounts. I have cracked my exhaust manifold before. After that modification, never again.

That transfer case look great, you need a little window to show it off.
