[@twosixtyninechatter653]

Wouldn't hurt to give Chad a call with your wiring questions. He might tell you that wire connectors in automotive applications should be crimped, not soldered - including those big cable lugs. The solder stiffens the wire which can cause it to eventually break due to fatigue caused by vibrations. There's also a chance of the connections becoming desoldered if there's ever a high load on the wiring.

Kudos for the Mars Rover reference. As an electronics designer of the Mars Rovers I tip my hat to all of you at MORR. By the way, doing wiring is just like solving a challenging puzzle. Very satisfying. Cheers! (Oh, and I would be happy to come to your shop and help out with the wiring - and YES you crimp those ring terminals first then heat gun them).

[@stephensaines7100]

[By the way, doing wiring is just like solving a challenging puzzle. Very satisfying.] Wiring is an art. I'm old-school electronics, I design and build vacuum tube amps, all 'point-to-point' wiring (no circuit boards) and it can either be a chore, or be nirvana, state of mind and having the right tools and materials is essential. I noted Matt using the term "looming", which is interesting, as it predates my years, even my being decades older than Matt. "Bundling" and "harnessing" are the more popular terms, but Googling "cable harnessing" produces many excellent hits, including the term "looming". In an environment where there's a lot of harsh movement, like in the Bombi, 'strapping' the harness (Using cable ties made specifically for the job) to the adjacent surface minimizes the chance of strain pulling lugs apart, or the bundle getting chaffed on sharp edges.

[@raptor31able]

@@jamesbender1967the dbag comments are here no bs thanks to you.

[@johnwalker2303]

I work in the same industry and want to add that you should never add solder to crimp connectors "for good measure". The solder will wick up the cable and the individual wires will easily break at the point where the solder ends.

[@dryve-by7300]

yessss! I'm glad you said it lol. I didn't want to be "that guy". @MattsOffRoadRecovery please invest in a set of Hexagonal Crimpers, the Cabac K06 (6-120mm2) are an excellent starting place. (also, no need for solder in any of these lugs if they're hex crimped 👍

When soldering those terminals onto the large wires, the second one you did is a cold solder joint and will be brittle. The wire is cold and the solder is hot, but the wire will not be hot enough to pull the solder into the wire so it’s just connected on the exterior. That one is likely to break eventually. When soldering like that, all components must be heated.

Your de-clawed hammer gave me a chuckle. My brother & I were working ion a refrigeration installation in a bar one day. Trying to put in cable staples in a really tight area, I was hitting the staple with the hammer turned sideways. Busted off a claw. A few minutes later I busted off the other claw. It was a steel shank Craftsman hammer. I said, “Dan, we better stop at Sears on the way home and buy a new hammer.” My brother said, “Buy? Nah. Craftsman tools have a lifetime guarantee. They’ll give us one.” We were twins, but my brother was way more assertive than I. We went into the tool department, picked up a new hammer and went to the register to exchange the broken one. The cashier called the department manager over to approve the exchange. He looked at it, noticed the battle scars on the sides and said, I’m not going to give a new hammer! You’ve been beating it on the sides, not the business end!” Dan came right back with “Show me in the catalog where it says “You must not hit the hammer on the sides.” The manager said, “OK this time, but don’t come here again!” Dan said, “Fine. There’s only about 15 more Sears stores around Philadelphia. You gonna put out an APB on us?” Then we left. We were about 17 years old, in the late 1950s. I miss Sears…

Works amazingly to make tight turns, you can almost make a full within the length of the vehicle if you do it correctly. Long story short, I have tried everything I can think of to force lubrication into between the cross shafts and the planetary gears. Eventually I spoke to our oil supplier at the office and he recommended I try RAVENOL RHP (75w-90) In fact he was so confident in the product he sponsored it to me to try. Years down the line and I have not broken another 3rd diff!!! Yes I suppose you also need to be aware and not let one wheel spin with the engine on the limiter while the other is stationary, or in my case do doughnuts continuously. I stop after a few seconds to allow the oil the penetrate the gears and go again. I don't know if Ravenol is very common is the US, but may be worth seeing if there is an equal grade oil. Great show, you guys are the Highlight of my Mondays!

The Bombi is getting quite impressive. You transformed it from a toy to play with into a heavy duty recovery vehicle. It seems nearly done but like the rest of the builds you will always find just one more thing it needs as time goes on. Whoever you recover at night is going to see that help is on the way a mile away with all the bright lights coming at them. Too bad about your favorite hammer, maybe you should bury it with a ceremony.

That new dash "cluster"/screen made me realize that you should add some screens so y'all can watch wholesome movies when you've got to do long tedious slogs through the backcountry. I can almost hear the laughter over the clacking of the tracks while the crew watches Flubber, Mash, or old Knight Rider episodes😂

Except the thing is that loud inside the cab you would never hear the movie....

binged this channel for a week now. y'all are some good folks.

@Mattsoffroadrecovery Matt the bombi is looking great & these upgrades are going to let her shine even brighter than before.. Thats crazy someone de-clawed your hammer.. Another thing I recently learned about, when drilling put a washer with a large enough center hole to fit loosely over the drill bit & while drilling if the washer moves your not running level.. Loved the M.A.S.H refrence, brought back some old memories of watching that show with my great grandfather..Thank you for that Matt..

My barbershop chorus and our local civic light opera did a show based on MASH and I played Klinger...never had so much fun. We even had the real Radar stop by for a visit because he was doing a show across the street...somehow no one got pictures. Love watching you guys, Chad, Rudy, Mater and Fab Rats

[@christianellegaard7120]

Pretty smart idea with those lifting pads. Now that Matt has made it so easy to get the cab off, nothing will ever break again, that needs it to be taken off.

[@user-pf3ye6yi9n]

Needs an alternative open cab for the sand in summer as a quick swap out.

[@johnsonsl944]

They’ll have to take it off again to fix that hose that matt rolled the dice on. 😂

I was waiting for the diff teardown. Knew what was going to be damaged after blowing a few diffs doing peg leg burnouts as a teen! 😂

[@floyd6545]

I'm just glad to see Matt & crew getting this stuff done before winter rolls around again.

[@DockDynasty]

I'm in my 30's and absolutely love Mash! Gotta love Radar. Me tv is all I watch. Old school TV is way better.

[@danielnagy5721]

In this situation with open diff (@3:45 where one side is stopped), the other in fact spins _twice_ the rpm than both would rotate. Coupled with the fact, diffs are not really designed for long periods of big rpm difference between the two shafts, this must have been more than a stress for that poor differential.

[@Lolsniper541]

Mash is the kind of tv show, that my parents used to watch when i was a little kid, because their parents watched it. I always thought "Oh man its that boring military show again" Now as an adult you realize just how funny that show really is.

[@peterv8459]

I saw all 250+ epizodes as kid (or teen) and i could watch it once again as (almost) 40 years old. It never bored me.

[@itsyeeoledskoolfurry3208]

Matt STILL makin' some GREAT funnies this week! 😆😆🤣😁🙃

[@procatprocat9647]

Jake is excellent. He really works in front of the camera. Please give him the exposure to develop a bit faster !

[@matthewbixler4075]

I just love the energy going in the the Bombi, I felt your pain when you cut that coolant hose. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@seanreynolds8451]

Matt, Miss Sally definitely needs to go to TomTom. I think it would be a great gesture of appreciation for all he has done for you and probably will continue to do in the future.

[@alfredoropeza9798]

Love the reference to M*A*S*H. My Dads favourite TV program back in England. I was allowed to stay up late on a Sunday night to watch it, I can still remember my dad chuckling.

LMAO. The hammer was de-clawed. Oh the comedy. Love it. If it was Tom Tom, he rocks. Awesomesauce right there.
