Matt, you’ve built two great things there: The heavy wrecker is an amazing feat of imagination, engineering and construction And “The Team” is an excellent demonstration of management, mentoring and motivation. It takes both to pull off those sorts of recoveries. Congratulations on both accomplishments… Your team in its current form is the best !

Having been an avid off roader off and on for over 40 years, I quite often find you videos to be simply basic recoveries. This was impressive to say the least, and great work by everyone involved to prevent damaging the vehicle. Great lines, perfect communication and perfect utilization of the brakes on the jeep. Repair in place is the only option I would have been able to come up with in that situation. No way I would have tried to do those steep downhills with the sketchy steering, and I still can't believe you managed to tow it out without destroying it. You've built a hell of a recovery vehicle and team there Matt. Impressive.

[@weatherman_za]

Your videos rarely show how difficult your recoveries can be, this video showed that without becoming an off-roader nerdfest. Awesome job on the recovery and the video. "My heart is starting to settle just a little bit ..." I suspect Lizzie has a bigger pair than most off-roaders that have attempted that descent. Lizzie you are a legend!

I honestly am curious the amount it took to build such an amazing offroad machine. I don't even want the extra costs of the hydraulic tow hitches and a crane mount in the back. I just would love to have a machine that makes so many insane obstacles effortless. It is definitely helpful to have his offroad skills, but that machine would help make up for lack of skills quite a bit until overdoing it and rolling or something.

[@mauryamckendrick5446]

The wrecker is a beast!! It's crazy because I remember when they started on day one laying the frame rails down and few months later it's a complete machine!!! Very cool! It almost needs an A-frame of some sort that comes off of the back that is solid metal so even if nobody was in it you would not need somebody doing the brakes to stop it. Basically like a tow bar they use for flat towing if that makes more sense. That would stop lateral movement and forward to back rocking and have far less pressure on the cables and the boom it would be all directed to the frame of the beast!! That's just my opinion anyway...

[@robpeabo509]

The way you all worked together and absolutely trusted whoever was spotting at the time was the key thing that made this recovery successful! Having a super competent towing vehicle was necessary, and the Wrecker was necessary, however without a crew; and a very trusting one at that, it would have failed. I need to give a big shout out to Lizzy, she efforts and trust dangling back there were over 100% top notch! - she did exactly as instructed by Tom-Tom, her spotter! Great effort team.

I actually watched this recovery being done just before wrecker games on another vid , it was far away , you had side by sides all around you , the guys filming had to ask the side by sides to stop for you to make the recovery , watching it now , from close up makes all the sense in the world , give it to the 4 guys in their side by sides who patiently waited for you guys and then passed safely giving you all the space you needed . That was one fancy recovery .

[@dalbaer]

Matt, start slinging the vehicles instead of picking them up from the front. Strap the front axles or chain to the frame from behind the bumper. If you read this and think about angles it will make sense. When you lift from the very edge of the bumper that is your 'pivot' point. If you sling from underneath/further back the straps or winch lines will then push rearward on the front bumper, not letting the vehicle swing towards the wrecker as much. That in combination with a stiff/semi-stiff adjustable x-brace from the rear bumper of the wrecker to the points where the slings are attached to the tow vehicle will almost completely eliminate any chance of the vehicle in tow rocking in towards the boom. 🍻

[@cyrilvillarosa2421]

Good job crew, I love how you guys communicate through out the whole recovery. I’m still learning read the terrain and how to spot.

[@joelvanderploeg6733]

The smile the wrecker puts on Matt's face is fun to watch. The first time I saw Lizzie she was trying to learn how use the milling machine at the shop. Watching her development has been amazing. She has really become an impressive team member! TomTom has been a great addition. He is the perfect balance for Matt, being more of a friend and peer than a normal employee.

[@desolatemetro]

Wooooow. Has Matt ever gotten through a recovery and described it as "crazy" before? I can't believe what I just watched. Definitely seeing how important all of the features of the wrecker are too. I thought the wireless winch controller was kind of just a convenience or cool factor thing but NOPE, you're going to need that for the spotter to be constantly adjusting it to get through different sections! If The MORRVair wasn't already enough, no one can doubt Matt's engineering skills...the wrecker is an absolute beast. Start with two axles and build the entire rest of the truck custom and it can do THAT. Amazing.

Almost need a fixed bar between the towed vehicle and the back of the wrecker to stop it from swinging forward. Like an a-frame

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Need something. Hard to think of what. A fixed bar wouldn't work in sharp angles. It would simply lift the front of the towed vehicle before it hit. Possibly put limit straps on the bar. I was trying to think of something that would work.

Not a bar but more like a tow truck with the wheels able to be fixed, you know so it doesn't swing into the winch or the trailer bar.... For big damage

@@b08m4rt1n Rory has made the case against bars many times. He mostly seems to rely on braking in the towed vehicle and a higher boom position. But it's likely this steep descent was close to the maximum of the problem, might not be a big concern most of the time.

As amazing as it is to see the wrecker work, it makes me appreciate Rory and Shaun's work even more. Their line choices and planning ahead are the real difference, and that comes with an incredible amount of experience

[@RandomName100]

Yeah, in a way what Matt and co have built is the ultimate cheat code. Rory and co is making it work with a wrecker that while it is immensely capable, isn’t anywhere near this. The make it work by utilizing what they have to its limit. The way the big wrecker just crawls and putters along without straining shows just how far they are from pushing the limits of the wrecker, and how much experience they have to gain to be able too. And quite frankly I think they will find the limits of the recovery gear before they start breaking the wreckers main components, once they have the teething problems with gearboxes and drive shafts and axles figured out.

[@jperreault5062]

What this shows even more is why Rory's hourly rate is 2x if it needs to be towed vs repaired. Wrecker has a welder on it. Piece of scrap pipe to sleeve the link and they could have driven it out of there with a lot less stress. Not always an option, but I'm wondering if in hindsight the team would still take the option of towing vs repair.

[@schafn]

You have a great team Matt. Not only does everyone have great skills, but the personalities are spot-on too. Your channel just wouldn't be the same without the dynamic you have within your team. Tom is always positive and makes a great foil for your humor. Lizzie is one of a kind. She is always slightly in awe of what she is doing, which puts us viewers right in the seat with her. All that said, there has to be some piece of gear you can come up with that would keep the towed vehicle off the back of the wrecker when you are going down hill. I was thinking even an old semi tire duct-taped to the boom would give you just a little more leeway when it comes to bumping into the back of the wrecker.

Why not build a 10'-12' bar with a 3 point attachment connection that can connect to the two recovery hooks on the towed vehicle bumper, and the pintle hitch of the wrecker? You could still raise/lower the wrecker boom as much as needed for clearance, but the towed vehicle would never hit the boom, and it would always stay the same distance from the wrecker! It would be a very simple build!

Good job. Maybe a bar that you can put on the pintle hitch and strap to front axle to keep towed vehicles from coming at you? Something like those tow bars they use behind RVs. * If the length was adjustable and width was hinged, you could hook to D rings if they have it, or strap to axle if they dont.

[@11-Percent-Racing]

Rory has covered this a lot; the A frames get destroyed very quickly off-road due to the twisting forces and various approach and departure angles in the rock crawling style of towing (see BSFs getting destroyed in the wrecker games). Instead he uses a "driver" in the towed vehicle to operate the brakes and maintain distance. I think he also tends to use a taller steeper boom angle to keep clear of the hood more. They just need practice with boom angle and braking the towed vehicle, and that'll come with time

[@Buellerwtfman]

@@11-Percent-Racing I could see that when hooking to an axle, but rigs like this with D ring mounts that dont seem like it would be much of an issue if that is a swivel pintle. Dont know if thats the case though.

Everything about this was awesome. But the wrecker was the most awesome.

[@dwightmcintosh8511]

I’ve seen and done some wild stuff but this is off the charts! What an amazing group of seriously talented people.

[@timpretzsch2609]

I feel like there needs to be a hard set of bars or something from the wrecker to the towed vehicle the keeps the distance between them from closing. The cross strapping keeps it from going further away, and that works, but keeping one from coming too close could be addressed with something. Even if the bars came out parallel to the ground from the boom, and were a lockable height, with eyelets that go around the lifting ropes just above the end loops on the winch ropes, to hold them at a certain distance away to assist in keeping the towed vehicles distance.

[@DeanF]

That rear steer on the wrecker is a handy tool. I think next year at the wrecker games you should have deductions for damage to either vehicle and or maybe bonus points for no damage, make it more related to actual recoveries.

I wonder if making a curved boom that is a bit longer would negate the issue if have the hood get so close to hitting. But it could potentially just add a ton more weight hanging off the back and less strength but still run into the same issues anyway. Might be a cool thing to try.

[@BenNawrath]

This was a VERY well shot and well edited video showing a super complicated recovery! I definitely felt like I was there more than some others!

[@jasonzerbini2375]

Great great video! Excellent example of teamwork and leadership of Matt! That recovery had a high pucker factor. Extra caution was exercised to not do a Paul Cox boom-to-hood-crunch. LOL. That Lizzy, she did so awesome under pressure. Just something about her....she is always a bright shining light for all. Thanks!

[@kennyFF033]

Big shout out to the whole crew and the wrecker, great job by all. Special high five to Lizzy, you have quickly become a competent and capable young lady. Be safe.

[@johnweeks5614]

It was awesome seeing the wrecker actually doing it's job and that was amazing to watch

[@ipleadthefifth1791]

Tom and Matt are the most compatible of any team member I have seen come through the channel. Fun to have him stick around and get used to his comedic/engineering contributions. Bunch of good people! The tingles in my feet can settle now.

[@Industrialmodels2]

Tom Tom is a fantastic addition to the team.

[@petercornish9903]

Possibly your most technical recovery yet. The rear-steer was so useful descending Triple 7.

[@buckyhurford3424]

It was your real first time with the wrecker. Experience learned! Wait in 6 months how much more skill you will have. You will be working that wrecker like the back of your hand! Hats off to all your crew! Much love

[@williamdundon9770]

That was AWSOME to watch you guys all work as such a great team. I love watching the wrecker work very impressive your experience always shows with the team working together to build these great vehicles.

[@thedude2601]

Excellent camerawork! Keeping the beautiful Utah skies, horizons, lakes, snowcaps and landmarks in the background really adds to the content.

[@muramusan]

Like seriously with the difficulty of that rescue and not risking just using the hydro locks like wow 😳 you guys seriously did a great job 100% one trailer plug cover is nothing, no scratches, dents that's a big win.

[@kathyhathaway8823]

Lizzie was smiling like a kid in a candy store getting to drive the wrecker on the way up . What a GREAT TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS . I think I will drive the four days it would take me to get there just to get stuck so I can call them for help . LOL . You all rock . THANKS

[@williamflorance3863]

Wow, just wow! I'm a bit late to the party on this video but I have to say, whilst I'm sad that the wrecker build series is about over, this is the sort of crazy stuff you've been building it for and wow, how well it does and how good to watch! The rear steer is a absolute game changer. Trying to get down there without rear steer would be twice the headache and no, there's no way you'd get a trailer down that! Without the wrecker the only real option would be to fix the Jeep in place and drive it out under it's own power, with the wrecker, what a job! Go team! :D

[@gregmottram292]

Now that’s what the wrecker is capable of, you know that most vehicles can’t get where the Wrecker can so almost all rescues will be possible with this beast. Also, I think the ‘crazy’ count was pretty up there as well!

[@JheregJAB]

I think watching this one gave me, as a person who's never been in that area, a better understanding of just what the terrain and difficulty was like for the wrecker games. With all the people around during the games and all the rigs doing the same obstacles on terrain-flattening cameras it was hard to get an understanding of just how crazy it was.

[@ronaldprothro5467]

That is the KOOLEST recovery I've seen. I've been recovered in Iceland before and this is right up there. Fantastic team effort and the wrecker is pure Amazing!

[@ankaris5129]

That was a masterclass demonstration of experience, engineering, team building over years and leadership all coming together!

[@MrChrissy1r]

Love the grin on Matt's face in the beast, but I do love to see Lizzie driving it and doing so well. Keep up the vids guys great family and friends and a great team. I do think and extendable boom would be a big advantage for some recoveries.

[@Maritimer]

I never get tired of seeing that wrecker, it's such a cool machine, you guys really did an amazing job on it. Cheers !

[@robert5712]

Just got back from MOAB and first thing is to look for Matt's latest. This video was even making me nervous! Terrific team work and awesome recovery. Just wow with the new wrecker and enjoyed the video immensely.

[@davidnorthrup3674]

So, you can tow a vehicle through there without destroying it, nice. ;-}} Whatching you do this reminded me of a trick that my Dad taught me. He ran a repair shop and used his square body to tow vehicles. Nothing off road. He told me when flat towing someone, put the rope or chain through a pipe. Then if the vehicle tries to hit you the pipe can stop it. Maybe you can modify this idea to help you in the trails. Especially if the vehicle has break problems. Well done! I did know that you where just having fun and putting on a show at the games. Thanks for the video and I'm happy that it's working out for you!

[@detroitdiy]

I give props to all of you. Lizzy was the standout. Nerves of steel. Lizzy for President!

[@JugsKise]

19:00 , 19:10 Sheeeeesh, "Sketchy" is the word of the day indeed, folks! The tires literally folding over on themselves was wild too, definitely one of the more intense recoveries they've had in a hot minute! The lack of cursing and flared tempers just shows the level of experience and professionalism as well!

[@stevej00]

I think this was one of your most technical recoveries yet. It's surely going to be one of my favorites. Awesome job! Pros Good looking Jeep! Grateful customer. Matt beaming Amazing team work Wild wrecker capabilities. No wonder Lizzy was so comfortable during the wrecker games. Another safe recovery. Cons The boom. It looks like you could just leave it high and then adjust vertical with the drop lines instead of the boom. Maybe a boom extension. I think a stiff arm from the wrecker to the tow would super helpful. Maybe pintel looped ends at the wrecker with interchange ends for different scenarios. Pad eye connections. Axle clamp end. Maybe just an old fashion rubber sling like BSF. Idk, maybe it's too much exposure for hanging up on obstacles. Pucker factor. It was stressful to watch. I couldn't imagine being in charge for that recovery. Bad 'sketchy' count. Something to think about. Crab walking the wrecker instead of a turn will eliminate the counter swing of the boom. My comments. LoL

[@jona.7414]

In the future or for anybody watching if you chain the pitman arm in place you won't have to steer lock to lock to make the hydro assist ram operate. Of course we wouldnt have got to see the show if you just drove it out. Nice work MORR team, you guys work so well together.

[@charleswinner6805]

It’s crazy how much the wrecker tires wrinkle without the tires getting damaged. Hats off to you guys for getting that job done without any casualties.

[@huntspoint3442]

That was so astute for Lizzie to come to the conclusion of towing the Jeep down by quickly realizing the risk of driving it down.

[@rudetoy8264]

If I get stuck offroad in Utah, Matt’s Recovery is the only one am gonna call. Not only professional tow, but being very careful not to incur anymore damage to customer rig

[@dougstohlmann7726]

The wrecker looks good on Lizzie!! I think she should be the wrecker pilot always!!

[@edgeofeternity101]

A truly amazing vehicle. Like Lizzy said, "That was awesome!"

[@garychandler4296]

At the end, she said "That was kuhRAYzee!"

[@andrewparker5438]

Lizzy, Tom and Matt Kudos on this recovery and the shear challenge in putting the wrecker in its element which is Sand Hollow. You have set a bar of accomplishment that I am in awe of as an avid fan and the appreciation that comes with being a mechanical design engineer. The spacial relationship mastery in doing this extraction was truly a wonder to behold!...

[@maplic]

That was the most incredible feat of offroading I think that possibly exists on the internet.

[@chir0pter]

Great job, Matt&team! 19:16 One way to convey verticality on a flat video is to have a caterpillar of 4x4's going over the obstacle lol

[@Industrialmodels2]

WOW!!! This is what we all have been waiting for and dreaming about over the past year! This is the most amazing rescue I have ever seen!
