Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns Tom's prowess is potent and secretly stern As they speed through the finish, the flags go down The fans get up and they get out of town The arena is empty except for one man Still driving and striving as fast as he can The sun has gone down and the moon has come up And long ago somebody left with the cup But Tom's driving and striving and hugging the turns And thinking of someone for whom he still burns TOM'S GOING THE DISTANCE!

[@davidlevine-e5z]

RE: Big axles Consider something like a wrecker based on a Steiger Bearcat. A Flexible Articulated Recovery Truck Retriever. Yes, the center pin would need a rotation limiter and possibly a lock, the hydraulics would be challenging, but the boom could run off the 3-point hitch and hydraulic winches may be available as scrap. The rear drive shaft might need to be coaxial with the central rotation pin. This way there are no steering issues! Add in the possibility of getting huge articulation and it looks interesting. Just be sure to include multiple inclinometers ro prevent rollovers.

[@ronjohnson9032]

Good people out there. Where I am from, a person left their broken down truck a bit too long. Came back for it, and it was upside down with missing wheels and carb.

[@akgguildford6397]

I thought a dual chambered master cylinder meant a split system , either front/back, or diagonal. So how come TomTom had NO brakes? Perhaps something they hadn't got round to yet?

[@kimetherington2252]

Hi Angela, You should do more with Tom and Matt's Off Road Recovery! You showed no fear in the rescue of Tom's vehicle! Maybe you can learn the business and do some recoveries with the women of the shop, an all girls recovery if you will! That would be awesome to see! Til next time, take care and we'll see you on the next..

[@NigelMarston]

Hit the brakes once on an off ramp (we call them slip roads in the UK) at 80+mph. Big thump and my foot goes to the floor. Turned out the car that I'd only recently bought had a chunk missing from the disk/rotor and yanked a pad out of the calliper. That turn after the slip road should not be possible at those speeds but it's amazing what you can do when you fear for your life. The handbrake calliper was nearly on fire when I finally stopped. I have to say, I really enjoy TomTom content and I'm looking forward to the upgrades on DigDug.

[@SlickBubbles]

Were your pants dry afterwards? LOL! Thrice, I've had a similar experience, with a red light right in front of me. A valve stuck open in the brake system. Fortunately, I was driving a car with a manual transmission and there weren't any cars coming straight through the lights, so I was able to make a very quick right turn. I had a pedal-type parking brake. The system didn't register the problem until it happened the fourth time. That's when the dealer finally found the problem. Before that, they thought I didn't know what I was talking about. After the fourth time, when the car was brought to the dealership, my husband laid into them about their attitude towards me, because I actually knew what I was talking about, since I had qualified for my pro racing license just a few years before.

+80mph or 130kph in the UK？ how about down shifting? And why not continue on the motorway if you cannot decelerate? handbrake on fire? What was your actual speed. Wrong side of the channel for that… I can engine brake coming from 160kph without issue if I look ahead, or don’t even need them,

[@elkippy]

@@larsradtke4097 We still largely use mph in the uk, he was probably in an automatic, and if he's on the offramp then he's already lfet the motorway. Also hyperbole is maybe more prevalent here, for fun.

[@16driver16]

The car had a chunk missing from the rotor and you didn't notice the first time you stopped? Did you ignore the noise or did it not have a chunk missing until that happend? Even a rotor being a little tiny bit warped is incredibly loud from the drivers seat

[@theteagues6792]

Questions.. - it's a dual master cylinder.. why did It lose all the brakes? - why was their any brake fluid left in both reservoirs? It seems the front reservoir should have been totally empty.. Is it possible that there's another, additional, problem? Brake fade, moisture in the lines / boiling, bad master cylinder, air in lines.. Strange / dangerous that both circuits failed..

[@enochhutchcraft8304]

Yes, must be an additional problem with the rear hydrualic system. Front hydraulic failure doesn't equal total brake failure. Significant loss of total braking, but rear brakes should have still worked. When Tom pulled the lid off the master cylinder, the back half (rear hydrualic system) you can see that the rubber bellows was pulled down similar to the front section, so a significant loss of rear fluid had occurred since the last time he pulled the lid off the master cylinder and checked the fluid. The front and rear systems are totally seperate except for the plunger inside the master cylinder itself and even that plunger has two completely independent hydrualic sections, one front, one rear.

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

Here's a old wv hillbilly wheeling tip step 1 buy old beater with sagging headliner step2 put flat brass thumbtack in headliner to hold it up , step 3 go wheeling, step4 bust break line ,step 5 put bras thumb tack in a fitting between broken line and good line .step 4 is optional.

Years ago on the first obstacle on the Rubicon Trail I broke the left front brake line on my xj. Grabbed vise grip pliers and crimped it shut and drove the rest of the day.

First "motor vehicle" I ever drove was a tractor as a young kid... Drove it for a long time on the ranch without knowing that it had brakes... Flat land, low gears, plenty of drag...

vice grips, always carry good vice grips and brake fluid... it'll get you home, rubber or steel lines(fold the steel a few times). it helps to have working parking brakes and manual trans. also front brakes are the majority of stopping force, on road or off road(except when going backwards). 4wd helps, since the rears will slow the fronts via drivetrain.

7018 along with grinding a bevel almost to a knifes edge and fill the bevel with pass after pass with the 7018 rod. Or if its cast use a Nicad rod. If you have a stress point it needs to be beveled pretty sharp. At the mines we had a 3 inch bolt shaft break on a crusher mount. They spent three weeks trying to remove it. I said I could shave down the edges of the bolt shaft making it a point. I cut up another bolt close to the head of the bolt an welded a threaded end back onto the stuck bolt shaft. I used 7018 and large washers stack and a nut so as to not grind down the weld possibly weakening it. It was still holding that crusher down when I left the mines a couple of years later. When trying to pull the broken shaft out the first time I had to weld a plate across that bolt shaft along with a metal ring on the top of the whole thing. They had two 80 ton rams working on the top part of the shaft with the cross plate I'd welded on and an 80 ton crain pulling on that ring on top along with another 80 ton ram pushing from the bottom of the bolt shaft and that bolt never budged but non of my welds cracked or broke. I haven't worked there for many years and as far as I know that rig is still holding that crusher in place.

Another flawless recovery done by Matt & Tom. And the first time I had ever heard of CHICKEN 🐔 IN A BISKIT Snack, was by watching his channel. Now I have them on the grocery list every time I make one. Those things are simply outstanding. And did I say addicting??? They are!! and I owe my new addiction to Matt!! 😊
