I was power washing a deck without safety glasses and ended up with a micro splinter in my eye. Words cannot describe how painful it was...after an eye doctor used a microscope to remove it I had to wear an eye patch for a week as my eye could not stand any light. No man should tell another what to do and Matt can go ahead and do his thing...but I learned a BIG lesson that day.

[@jimlundstrom2986]

Truth be told, nothing will change until it happens to you.

[@johnnyadams1755]

Kudos for not insisting someone else take actions for your life lesson 👏 I can relate and then some, I caught a punch with my eye and am totally blind in it. I will comment on eye safety if asked, but ultimately everyone has to make there own decisions 😉 literally 🤣🤣🤣

[@danwilson9530]

I worked in an engineering workshop for 1 of the Big 3 which required safety glasses on at all times, but sometimes when just passing through I would not wear them until I got pointed out by and a raised voice from a big boss, so next time walking through I had them on and as I passed by a vehicle in a bay, out of nowhere I got hit with a stream of washer fluid in the face that would have got me directly in the eyes. Thank you for calling me out, big boss! SAFETY FIRST!

[@graememckay9972]

I was brushing the stairs and got a tiny splinter of glass in my eye. Local Doctor couldn't get it, optician couldn't get it, went to a+e and the nurse (probably emotionally cold) scrapped it out with a scalpel. Instant relief.

[@DB-yj3qc]

I had a expensive set of prescription eye protection glasses that saved my eye sight in at least one eye. Blown case with a piece of brass about 2 mm long embedded in center of lens half way through it. Had many 4.5 and Dremal tool cut off wheels come apart let alone wire brushes. Few weeks back I got a new full face shield, I started not to then thought What the heck... you only got 2 eyes non replaceable.

The added height to the shock towers actually look great coming through the hood. It adds to the aggressive look and stance of the monster you all are creating! Lizzy's welding skills are 🔥 and getting better with every bead. Great job MORR crew!

[@JohnFL]

Forgot, thanks for the reminder

[@Pbell]

Matt I had made a plow for the front of my lawnmower, I was using a winch to lift and lower similar to what you are doing now. What I notice is the winch had enough power to destroy its mounting point pulling against the stops. My solution was to use the hood pin switch off of any basic car alarm, when the plow was lifted to max it would unground the hood switch and trip a relay connected to “up” on the winch leads, it did not affect the down leads however. Once the plow was lowered down the hood pin switch would ground again and allow the winch to operate in either direction up and down. This could be useful for you as well. Avoid any bending of the plates or breaking any pulleys. Although I know you over engineered everything, but why even take that chance with all the hard work you have put into it.

[@freeidaho-videos]

Lizzy you Rock ! ! ! See if the stop to keep the winch away from the higher shock tower can be the same mechanism that you use to pull the boom down so it doesn't get pushed forward by loads on the hook. Never ever ever limit steering angle. She's a big girl, and will need lots of steering angle. Still supporting TowMORR as the name.

[@NeoMK]

If you had no idea, one would think that Lizzy is a professionally trained welder. Seriously! And those shocks are insane! Best shocks you can buy bar none! Wait until the engine comes in! Texas Speed baby!

[@bernieshort6311]

Well Matt Lizzy and gang, those shocks look absolutely amazing, and I see nothing wrong with the way the bracketing worked out. The lip you left when cutting off the old tops will only strengthen the assembly. I was so impressed when you said you were going to do some CAD work Matt, I almost spit out my cup of tea, the acronym you used for your CAD was fantastic and typical you, CAD (Cardboard Aided Drafting), magic, pure magic. You should patent it before someone at Fab Rats steals your idea PML. The overall look of the wrecker looks formidable, I can’t wait to hear the engine roar to life. I cannot imagine the rear steering so look forward to that surprise too. Stay safe guys and keep on fabbing.

[@peterobinson4389]

I’m not an off road guy but love your channel. I love that you don’t make those folks that got stuck feel stupid, instead you’re encouraging and most of all helpful. I love that you and your crew are always positive and motivated to help one another. You don’t use foul language to get your point across and yet even when it’s tough you work the problem. I’m a dirt bike guy and have no interest in four wheels but your show is much more than getting folks unstuck and four wheeling. Your show motivates others to do better and do the right thing.

I’ve built 24 rigs specifically for Moab over the years but the one thing I’ve always wanted to learn and do is fabrication/welding/tube bending . There were always “more critical” purchases than a welder and bender but I wished I’d of done it becasue I’d have a hell of a lot of experince by now. Lizzie’s doing awesome, getting a great skilll that pays VERY WELL!!! You guys ought to mount one of those portable welder connections and buy the Trail Welder for the beast.

She’s a good welder do her a favour and get the 3m full welding/grinding helmet with filter. It filters and pumps it from a belt to the helmet makes a world of difference if your welding over things or in spaces the air isn’t moving much

[@dmorgan28]

Well Matt. You and Lizzie got it on the way to being done and looking good.!👍❤️

[@jeremydiamond8824]

See you at the SEMASHOW !! 😎👍🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻😇safe travels 😎

Have y'all ever seen a cutting wheel blow up? I'd keep a guard on as often as possible.

[@insaynbcr]

Those shock towers (both front and rear) would be a perfect place to mount insane rock lights to shoot light off to the side of the rig on night recoveries.

I love building stuff. I'm 73 & retired. I see you wearing hearing protection. When I was doing it we didn't do that. The thing is I can still hear fine. You just never know. I do wear protection when target practicing now.

It’s a miracle a Sunday wrecker build that was actually full a build video

[@Josh_wardell]

The more I watch this build the more impressed I am. And it’s gonna be at SEMA!! Lizzie’s welds are gonna be in SEMA. Super rad!

[@Josh_wardell]

@@flat-earther haha. No.

I can relate to your shower of sparks. When I was working at a major Hollywood Studio, we were building Roll Cages for a certain TV Show. while I was under the vehicle welding a small blob of red hot metal fell into my ear canal, I felt it burn its way down and into my throat. I could not move fast enough to stop its progress. Oh well not to worry it heat sealed the damage in the canal. Your Heavy Wrecker is Looking Fantastic, keep up the great work!

[@kevinwoods3269]

Dang..Lizzie has become a master of that welding...

[@electrontube]

Lizzy's come so far with her hand at welding, so good.

[@ford_drivingbuilder4225]

Lizzy your wedding skills have improved dramatically over the last few months keep up the good work.

[@georgeleckband2693]

I bought a set of bilstein 8100 and 8112 for my ford , after about 6 months the finish on them have gone to s**t … I recommend you throw a clear coat on them to keep them looking sharp

[@patrickgilhooly8340]

What a fantastic show. I just viewed Ms. Lizzie. Doing fantastic welding, over and over the entire SUPER WREAKER. Thanks for showing us real FINE welds. MS. Lizzie makes everything took easy. We look forward to SEMA footage.
