Matt, you should add a magnet to the magnet to each remote. If you wired a simple circuit with some lights, you could have a board on the dash showing whether all the remotes are accounted for or not. If all remotes are back in their "home", all the lights are green - if one is not, it would show red and let you know before you leave that you have problems.

[@calholli]

@@jamesplymire5342 I guess you don't understand the frustration of finishing a build and things keep breaking.. or you designed something wrong and have to change something major, etc.. It's hard to avoid. So there's a huge difference when you're still grinding through that-- vs when you've done many jobs without a single issue and it just feels unbreakable and ultra reliable and you don't have that little worry in the back of your mind of all the unknowns.. I'm not being a downer, I just understand what stage that thing was in at the time... Which I was totally right, because he went on to break both drive shafts not long after that... and the headers overheated some wires later after that, so he wrapped them... and the brake sensor lost pressure recently, and Jefe almost went barreling down the hill with no brakes. So I'm sure he will find a better, more reliable fix for that too, I'm sure. So call me a downer all you want, but I was 100% correct-- it's still in the teething stages.. But it's getting there. It's a fun rig.

Peanut may need a special perch on the back of the wrecker. She seems to love riding back there but it was probably all the more wonderful for her to be riding back there WITH Rhett.

Two suggestions for the remote misplacement -- first, paint them a bright yellow so that they're easier to spot when inevitably they get misplaced. Second, consider 'Air Tag'ing them with some kind of sensor that talks to phones that could give you a warning when the remote is not in range and help with finding the direction of where they are.

You might want to look at a DMI hitch type attachment for the heavy wrecker to attach a draw bar to the vehicle being towed. They telescope and swing side to side for hook-up, and then lock once you pull forward. Also has a spring to cushion the for-and-back movement while towing.

I LOVE PEANUT!!!!!! I spent most of the time watching Peanut while still trying to stay connected to the action in the video. She is a polite dog but also REALLY likes to be related to, and around you MATT. You are her favorite for sure. I mean polite when she accepted the treat given to her from the attendant, through Matt at the entry station of the park grounds. That was cute. She also seems to know when it is time to ask for "getting-out-and-running" privileges. I like to see her find the various perches that she will use when riding in a moving vehicle, either in the front, or back or outside on the wrecker. In this show she jumped on the cowl in front of the windshield while still in the garage (near the end of the show). That is one of the few dogs that I would like to have around me most if not all the time.

I had an idea Matt! You could attach a couple tow hooks to the metal support/reinforcing frame on the back axle. It may make it easier and faster to attach a line, instead of having to wrap around the axle. Especially on muddy days it will be a much cleaner job. Love "TOWMORR" aka the WLORW.

[@Bouwentjes]

I did 4x4 winch competition (Europe). We hardwired the “joysticks” used for controlling marine Bow Trusters into the winch control wiring, mounted on the dash for the driver. We also have extra winch control switches next to each winch fairlead for the co-pilot/winch monkey (for spooling in) The original remote controls are also stil usable, but we almost never use them. All the options… We run Warn 12v winches at 24v (switchable) with gigglepin dual Bow motors up front. Red Winch dual motor winch in the back. Warn m8000 in the center as a top winch. Lastly we run a pto driven “God winch” based on a landcruiser 80 series transfercase PTO (cut and reversed to run to the rear), driving a single samurai dif, driving a huge homemade drum with 70meter (210 feet?) dyneema rope. That thing is scary…It accelerates so fast when winching that the co-pilot can not outpace it in the mud, you can get run over.

What you need for the wrecker is a set of adjustable towbars that hook to the back of the wrecker and to the front of whatever vehicle you're hauling. That will keep it from surging forward and backward while the cable keeps it in the air.

[@Smokey_A]

Like the traditional wreckers. Back when everything had metal bumpers, they had big rubber slings that went around bumpers, but I suppose that wouldn't work in the new world of all collapsible/plastic front ends.

[@mrolsen6987]

If you tow on the flat road that would be the choice, but since they are towing offroad it's not always so great. Check out The Trailmater on youtube, he have explained why towbars are not the way to go on a offroad wrecker.

[@chrisgleeton6823]

I gotta say, I really like Eric from BSF's system with that tow bar - The A-Arm lifts up the vehicle and takes the vertical load, then the lower tow bar controls the fore/aft motion. The Razer on this job was kinda all over the place. Upon thinking about it, you could probably fabricate a piece that slides into your hitch receiver, so that you can remove it if it's not required. Something shaped like a T-Bar that has the ability to hinge up/down. Ability to swivel probably wouldn't be bad, either, if you're recovering from a lot of rock crawling situations. Now I"m thinking some kind of large ball-joint type connection, to allow 6-way movement (up/down, left/right, and rotation), while still controlling that fore-aft motion.

[@NBSV1]

I’ve seen some setups that use basically a couple of yokes and u-joints so it has plenty of movement in all directions except forward and backward. I feel like their setup might need some springs or shocks to allow some front/back movement but still stop it before it hits the wrecker.

[@wontontacoadventures]

[@getheated]

I knew peanut and the other pups like to run along side the trucks and explore the trails. I didn’t know Rhett liked to as well. Lol 😂 0:58

[@bensnapp8610]

Matt, if you want more cheap traction on your big tires, you should sipe tem. It's a process used in winter areas. Basically, slicing the tire to create more edges to grab a slippery surface, ice, and smooth rock. This process does not damage tires, and they often run cooler. A professional tire shop can sipe tires. Good luck on the wrecker.

[@blahblah121212]

He needs to air down. Way too much pressure. Where are those beadlocks?

[@johny2469]

I love that you think Matt doesn’t know what siping is 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Guys do the same on mtb and mx bikes, it helps improve traction at much slower speeds as the tread can activate and form much easier

[@kevinjeff1631]

I've never driven or used a tow truck before but I think you should use stabilizing slings like the old tow trucks . Like the fat rubber straps that go under the front end of the vehicle being towed. That would keep the towed vehicle from swaying side to side and front to back.

[@williamowens6610]

Matt the ORW IS AWSOME! had some doubts about its capabilities, but the two wheel version is beyond belief how strong and agile the beast is. Good luck, but trailmater has experience with off road wreckers, and Paul will break his before he gives up. Can’t wait to see the out come. Great content by the way. 👍🏻

[@JonnieB.]

It seems the wrecker would benefit with a tow bar style spreader that can be strapped to what is being towed to keep it from pushing into the back of the wrecker, but it appears to work very, very well otherwise. Really impressive how well it works considering it’s all from Matt’s imagination.

[@RLee-zs1ds]

When towing a vehicle it may be advantageous to have something like a 'shock absorber' between the wrecker and the vehicle being towed. This would limit the amount of "swing" back and forth when driving over rough ground.

[@Tamskick]

🌹my deepest condolences for Mr. Blake

Matt, You need to build a triangulated tow bar that connects to the pintle hitch, so you can do these recovery's solo. Love your content and your builds!

Great job! Really awesome to see the heavy wrecker out in its home turf doing a recovery very easily. After enough runs like this there might be some envy that sees others like Rory, Paul, Merlin and others build their own larger, custom and incredible 4x4 off road recovery beast rigs. Waiting to see who builds a great diesel version, Powerstroke, Cummins or Duramax. Or maybe Matt will one day toss a diesel engine in the heavy wrecker, didn't he mention doing that around the time he was getting ready to put the engine in?

[@entrepreneurlife649]

He did address the "why not a diesel". I believe the reason is because the diesel makes so much torque that is hard to control. Also, with the immense gear reductions it has, the gasser makes traction the limiting factor.

[@johannesmarkert]

FYI: The fact that several drive train components broke during shake-down test drives does NOT mean Matt & friends are incompetent vehicle engineers. It happens to all vehicle designers. Chrysler, General Motors, and Ford all take their new cars to their own proving ground and run them until something breaks, even though they all have over 100 years of experience designing vehicles, and thousands of professional engineers. As I type this I am sitting 16 miles from the Chrysler proving ground, which covers 5.25 mi² (13.6 km²). I am sitting 20 miles from the General Motors proving ground, which covers 5.25 mi² (13.6 km²). I am sitting 26 miles from the Ford Proving Ground, which covers 0.5 mi² (1.2 km²).

You should paint those controllers with some very bright colors so they aren't easily lost and are easier to find if they do get misplaced.

[@joshpack]

Sooo much more could have gone wrong with a complete build like the wrecker. That being said, I think you and your team did fantastic!

[@andrewgable7273]

Hey Matt, what it looks like would be super cool and helpful would be some sort of a pole/bar of sorts with a shock of some kind to help with the slack when accelerating and stopping. The towed vehicle looked like it could use something to keep it from being joseled around and even hitting the wrecker and causing more damage. Would be cool to see what your genius brain can come up with!!

[@CR500R]

They need to get some bright, neon yellow or orange silicone covers for those remotes. Black is too easy to lose.

[@kevinlavigne7335]

The wrecker needs a A-Frame tow bar to keep whatever is being towed from smashing into it.

[@johnstancato8785]

Now I know why Rory uses the crossrope from the back bumper to whatever he's towing to keep it stable you should take a play out of Rory's book and do that next time

[@Person-ly6im]

Matt has double winch, which helps

[@drfragstein2301]

Thinking a rear mounted rubber bumper or even tire rubber, on the rear of the heavy wrecker. To lower DMG done in case the car you are pulling has a brake failure might be a idea.

[@Manu__R]

Maybe get a bumper that goes into the tow hitches on the rear of the wrecker, so the towed vehicle doesn't hit anything important. Or a bar that mounts into the hitch, with holes along its length to strap the vehicle to, to keep it a fixed distance from the wrecker

[@danzimmerman8440]

My wife and I are hooked on your videos, it’s amazing where people think they can go. Great job and best of luck on tow truck competition.

[@Arctic_Dude]

I know very little about cars, but this new vehicle project is really interesting. I also love the scenery in Utah and the surrounding areas, basically because it's so different from my home country(Norway).

[@markderreberry]

The Morvair looks so small compared to the wrecker!

[@jrrarglblarg9241]

And yet it’s a monster compared to an all-original ‘vair. Just watched a video about a beautiful red ‘62 wagon yesterday.

[@markalyea3976]

You might want to think about adding a sling to the wrecker for "sling towing" and then it's prevents the vehicle being towed from hitting the wrecker.

[@alkalfass9147]

I think the wrecker games should be streamed LIVE!

[@paulirwin2905]

Could you out some sort of spring/shock absorber between the RZR and the wrecker (similar to a top link on a 3 point hitch) to hold it in place. Love your content. Thanks!

[@timweidner3335]

Okay, on this recovery how many total miles did you cover? I think you could sometimes add this info to your recovery introduction. Love the international and the ridge scenery was beautiful.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

All of them...

[@rickmulcahy6279]

You should use a technique that rury uses. Besides the cable from the hoist , He uses 2 cables with a cross pattern from the back of the record to the front of the towd vehicle. This prevents the broken vehicle from wallowing around Back-and-forth see -sawing on a single line of the hoist.. Number 2 tip. Spray paint your remote controls a Florescent color so they'll be easier to find when you lay them down on the ground or somebody sees them.

[@Person-ly6im]

Watch the wrecker games.

[@DannoTull]

Maybe you could take one of those magnetic key boxes and modify it for the REMOTE CONTROL, or something like that, then you can just stick it to the tow rescue truck.

YAY!

[@ColinRichardson]

Morning little missy. How is the weather your side of the pond now?

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

whew, top ten is getting crowded.

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

@@ColinRichardson Goin' to walk Barney now, about 30 F., fair to middlin', partly cloudy...little on the shady side. Kinda like me.....ta ta!

[@ColinRichardson]

@@JanelleVocate-Ames You are " partly cloudy " I will remember this 😜 We have been having some snow here the last two days... Very pathetic snow though.. Nice big clumps, but instantly just turns to water as soon as it hits the ground.. So warm ground, cold air. But it keeps starting and stopping..

Bless the lady who gave Peanut a treat
