Matt, anyone who has the logic "How do you not expect me to drive it like I stole it when I have to hot wire each time I start it" deserves a place on your team.

Kaitlin has jokes, scares Matt, beautiful smile, not afraid to send it......she will make a great addition to the team!

Dang, that little lady is hard on equipment but I love her smile AND Matt's look of sheer terror. LOL

A new crew member with a personality that is different from every other team member while being open to the fluid style so prevalent in the normal day to day opporating process throughout the company. An absolutely perfect fit.

Matt: No more scaring me. Kaitlin: Maybe you shouldn’t be driving with me then… Matt’s Mind: Hired! ❤

Matt: Dont scare me anymore... Kaitlin: dont ride with me then.... PLEASE GIVE HER A SPOT ON THE TEAM!

Put the old Ranger 2.3 4cyl in it. It's a simple engine and parts are available everywhere. PowerNation built one awhile back. The dirt track racing world is full of the little Ford 2.3 L Four Bangers.

This will be fun. Hire Katlin! A consideration. I spent 31 years in big wreckers. I've had Samurai's & a Vitara. Great offroading because they're short. Your issue will be wheel base vs front end weight. Wreckers hang most everything off the back. So remember this formula. Empty Front Axle Weight (A) Diveded by 2 Times the Wheel Base in inches (B) divided by the overhang (C) Equals the maxium save weight you can tow & maintain steering. (X) (A÷2) X B ÷ C = X. I know.... it's algebra. But the math doesn't lie. Overhang is the distance from the end of the boom to the rear axle. 1500 faw /2= 750 750 X 80" wb = 60,000/ 60" overhang = 1,000 lbs save lifting weight to tow. This is if your front axle weight is 1,500 lbs. Hopefully you can get there by adding a winch. Since the Samurai's weigh 2,000 lbs. If you 4 link it & stretch whe WB by a few inches? It might help! Have fun. Make It Katlin's project & ride! This will be great to watch. Thanks

Caitlyn is a breath of fresh air! You're already teaching her to weld and she is an expert in the off road vehicles, bring her on!

She's a professional rock crawler, she has personality galore, and i think she can fire back at the crew....what's not to love about Kaitlyn? She's a keeper!!

That was so fun to watch. Number one hire Kaitlyn she fits in great with your team. She drives like she stole it and does not apologize for doing so. She made Matt show some fear on that one hill. You can tell the whole team was having a good time. Lots of smiles. I know y’all will turn the Samorri into an awesome machine for off roading. Can’t wait to watch the re build.

The wife and I believe that Kaitlin would make a great addition to your crew. Plus she adds to the uniqueness of your crew since Lizzie has gone away from your daily work,etc. Still loving your programs/videos.❤

I think that was the first time I saw FEAR on Matt's face.😂 I was wondering if Caitlin would stick around. She definitely has the pedigree with her rock crawling background. 👍

That young lady's father has to be proud. He raised her right. She doesn't care how many tires are on the ground. All four could be in the air and she will hammer down laughing. Matt is pounding the panic button, and she is not letting up. Matt your viewers love her and if you don't make her part of the crew, it could be a bad business choice.

We agree that Kailyn will be a great addition to your team. Tom's rig needs to be painted retro two-tone. As for the Sami, it needs more weight in the front. We love this channel and watch it daily.

The samurai is a great idea! Take a look at some of the old Willys rigs with booms, like Moe the Toe a ‘46 CJ-2A. Keep it compact, full of torque and low low gears. Make it so you can cary a small rig out when they pancake all 4 wheels, no trailer, no dragging but pull it up and carry it.

Kaitlin would be an awesome addition to Matt’s Off Road Recovery!!!! Anyone that can scare Matt is awesome in so many ways! I bet she could scare Paul in a demolition derby.

Kaitlin seems like a solid bet, her banter is great and she is hands down a fantastic driver😊😊😊

Hey Matt, if you're looking for a mini wrecker look for one of those bongo trucks or mini truck. It already has a 8ft bed on it. It might help you save some time in modifying that Suzuki. Then you can turn the Suzuki into a mini banana so you have a support vehicle for the tiny trails. Just my suggestion, really enjoying the videos. Take care.

I like the idea, but clearly that thing will need A LOT of work. You're going to need practically a whole new engine to avoid stalls and give enough weight to actually cling-and-climb. Lower gears, and some pretty serious counter-weights not unlike how the Mega-Wrecker is occasionally braced. This is going to be a very interesting build!

Kaitlin is incredible, don't let her get away! The looks she puts on Matt's face are worth a million alone.

"Don't scare me." "Then don't ride with me"..."You guys get paid for this?" Her one liners make her invaluable. Don't let that one get away.

You should do DigDug in the classic brown/cream panel finish, with a chrome pinstripe around the two tone. Classic and elegant. 😊

Rory also has the torque of a big block. Certainly can tell Caitlin (sorry if I misspelled your name) is use to timed events. Just watched the end. Caitlyn would make a great addition to the team

Kaitlin's fearless, smart and has the right sense of humor for these jokers.

This channel works best when Matt and other experienced employees are put in the seat of being educators and work dads. That was refreshing to me with Rudy, Lizzy, Rhett and now Kaitlin. Great show guys!!

You would probably be better off using a Long wheel base Samurai, as a base for your recovery vehicle. More stable, better ride and more room for power/transmission upgrades.

I love it, I hauled a motorcycle out the back of mine, from California to Washington. Strapped the front tire to the rear seat mount. Can't wait to see it.

Absolutely hire Caitlyn! The fact that Matt was terrified and she just kept giggling was priceless! The girl seems to have no fear! Great addition to the team.

Hire her! She has a great foundation with off-roading to build from. I'm looking forward to seeing her learn and develop new skills.

Yes, hire that young lady, with her off-road experience that's a plus!

Matt always bring out the best in his crew in the nicest way. It's so great to see.

Add another YES vote for hiring Kaitlin! She has skills, personality, perseverance, and a great sense of humor.

Definitely hire Kaitlin! Her never ending smile and enthusiasm will light up any situation Matt gets her into! She nailed welding on her first try!

Tom I am no engineer but the two tone brown old skool paint job would look great with the bed of the truck!! Tires and wheels.. great truck 🤙

Yes Matt, Tom and the MORR Crew...definitely hire Caitlyn as part of the crew...she has a great personality, she's smart, adventurous, fearless and fun (remind you of anyone)?! She will kill it as part of the channel!

Caitlin isn't afraid to give it the beans. I knew this was a testing period for Caitlin. Bring her on. It was great seeing Lizzie grow into the position. Pass the torch.

Kaitlin would be perfect. She’s an accomplished rock crawler, fearless, has a desire to learn welding, and above all else has an infectious laugh and smile. I think she’s a perfect fit for the MORR Team.

Ok, this has to happen. For those of you who may not know, the Double Sammy trail at Sand Hollow, apparently got its name when 2 Suzuki Samurais rolled over there. So, i think the ultimate test for the future "Worlds smallest offroad wrecker", should be the conquering of Double Sammy. What do you say?

Tom go with the two tone paint job, retro the heck out of that retro wonderful truck. and of course Caitlin is a must hire, she has the confidence on the pedal and seems to be a natural in front of the camera, win win for you all

"don't expect me not to drive it like i stole it when i have to hot wire it to start it!" best quote ever on this show, Kaitlin is a thousand times yes!

I love the respect that the team give Caitlin, she is clearly an impressive driver and a great inspiration to young girls

Friend of ours got his F250 sunk in the mud out in the woods, like Blue Steel. It was sunk to the axels. Called several wrecker service and no one wanted to come out. Until refered to a guy who specialized in this type of situation. Guy shows up in a Isuzu pickup on what looked like a 6" lift and mud tires. It was just the frame, motor, and the shell of the cab with a roll cage built around the cab. Huge winch mounted on top of the cab. Made sense, we all doubted but he pulled it out no problem. Smart actually and coolest thing I've seen.

Paint on digdug I like the 2 tone, but follow it through on the flat bed. Most of it being the light color, would make it flow and look good. Yes I think that Kaitlyn would be a good addition to your team.

I love how Matt always brings 3 or 4 people on recoveries but keeps building wreckers with 2 seats, lol.

My vote is a big YES for Kaitlyn! She’s beautiful and Fearless. Anyone who can throw a scare into Matt with a mischievous smile on her face is an awesome team member and definitely a keeper!

Tom, my suggestion for Dig-Dug's paint scheme is three-tone : white, cream/tan and brown.

Tom Tom! Paint it in the two tone scheme like they came from Chevy...brown over tan! As for the mini wrecker? Awesome! Based on how much weight you need to lift could one build a telescopic boom to reduce to length of the boom when traveling to a recovery site? Just a thought and heck yeah! Hire her 'cause her experience with wheeling will be an asset for sure! Thanks for the vid and peace out!

Definite +1 for Caitlin. She's got skills.

Never ever have I seen Matt with so many scared looks on his face as when Kaitlin is continually sending it! You go girl!

I love the concept of a micro wrecker and like another viewer wrote, it's going to need a lot in the way of power and suspension. What intrigues me the most is how you can keep it anchored. The point of a boom on a small vehicle like that is for lifting while on very narrow roads. In the case of a shelf road you'll want that boom for lifting small vehicles that have gone over the side. For that to keep such a light wrecker on the road, you might think about either more winches, one on each side, or adding telescoping or folding out riggers that can widen the foot print when lifting. Loving the Channel, Keep up the great work!

Two-tone white! Paper white all over, egg shell or light warm grey. Drove a Samurai a couple summers. Manual steering, a few inches of lift, 30 inch balloon tires, tiny engine. Good times.

Miss Lizzy but Kaitlin is a joy to watch. Nice fun young lady keeps Matt on his toes! Hope she sticks around.

Matt: No, No, go right! You’re scaring me. Caitlyn on the hard obstacle laughing all the way up: Maybe you shouldn’t ride with me. 😂😂😂

I believe she’ll fit right in with your crazy crew. I love watching this channel. Can’t wait to see the Samorri finished and see if it’s actually useful.

I think dig dug would look good with the cream in a stripe across the middle, brown on top and below, and white on top and below the brown. Like a 5 layer cake

Kaitlin is this wonderful mix of quiet and sweet with confident and very capable. She has a steep learning curve and appears to love what you do. Hire her before someone else does.

I appreciate how you let your younger people try things. It is a lot easier to be the big dog and do everything yourself than to raise and train others to be big dogs. That is leadership.

Hire the girl! I'm sure Caitlin will add some polish to some of the rough edges! She's got my vote! 👍

Stick a all aluminum LS V8 (5.3 LC9) and a manual transmission with an Atlas transfer case in that Sammy, stretch it if you have to. ❤

katelyn is doing such a great job! already has experience in crawling and has the drive to learn and expand more on her offroad knowledge! i see too many people mentioning her as a “replacement” to lizzy, but let’s not see it that way, and more so as Katelyn being an “addition” to the ever evolving MORR family!

Kaitlin needs to be part of the crew! It looks like she fits in well with everyone and is willing to learn the ropes. She will make a great addition the crew.

You also need to change the gears in the transfer case for a wider split between hi and low range. My cousin had a stock Samouri and when we changed the gears it made a world of difference. No bouncing around over rough stuff.

Definitely paint dig dug tan and brown, I’ve always loved that color combination.

Yup she's a keeper for sure Matt. Willing to help and willing to learn. A hard thing to find now a day.

Yes Matt. She passes the Test! You should pay her for this. 😊 love her sense of humor. And the full send on the hill too.

Kaitlyn,👍...definitely has to be teem member...good learner and willing to do anything. That was a fun sortie with what will be the Worlds Smallest Wrecker...great time...

Tom, the best paint choice for old squarebody General pickups is always going to be The Fall Guy Brown/Champagne and eagle hood! 🙌

I love the genuine fearlessness Kaitlin shows behind the wheel. Rhett’s the same other people try to nurse the vehicle up things the kids just step on the gas at.

Love Katelynn's attitude. I think she brings a lot of great energy and knowledge to the team! edit: Corrected Katelynn's name spelling

So I am a little late to the party, but first, yes hire Caitlin, I want to see more of the faces Matt had in this video! Priceless!!!! Secondly, Dig Dug, I think the two tone brown would be sick looking!! Course it would remind me of “The Fall Guy”. Keep up the amazing videos!!!

Plucked a 1949 Willys 2A and a 90s jeep wrangler off a narly trail with my stock 91 samurai. Small Offroad wrecker...it can be. I would start with 6.5:1 xfer case gears and the work on suspension etc. This is where I am starting with my current Samurai.

Yes higher Kaitlin. Watching a young and enthusiastic employee learn the trade and grow as a person is awesome. Especially one that has a good attitude and likes to giggle. Not sure why this works for your channel, but it does. Again, yes.

Yes for Kaitlin, she has a great rapport with Matt and wheels good. Great addition to the team. Also been good to see the whole team change a lot but keep the spirit of MOOR over the years. Tom and Jake have really got comfy in front of the camera of late which has been great for the banter and vibes, but Kaitlin already looks settled.

Tom, think ya should paint it a desert tan like the old land cruisers. Still yelllow, but your own shade.

I can wait to see what you do to it. I had one and as I recall, I think there's less then an 1" between the front axle and the oil pan.

Seriously, hire her! She’s got great team chemistry! And awesome screen presence!

Kaitlin is a 100% yes ..she’s already getting comfortable in front of the camera and just lights up the screen with that smile. The whole crew is really great now..the guys are all upbeat and ver6 likable. Tom, some sort of pearl blue over silver base would be awesome in the bright sun of Utah..in the sea of yellow stuff there just needs to be a contrasting color!

Katelyn yes hire her. The Samurai will pop wheelies with a boom in the back. Having a huge winch and a heavy front bumper can help distribute more weight

Tom. For dug dug you should do a two tone with one of the colors being white. Maybe white and a chocolate, or white and blue (dark blue, metallic blue, gloss royal blue), really just about any color can be pair with white.

She is fearless! Matt says don’t scare me anymore, and she says the best thing ever. “Probably shouldn’t ride with me then.”

Katelynn would make an amazing addition to the team! I wish we could see how she and Lizzy would work together, and Lizzy train her on everything she knows.

One of my favorite upgrades I did to my old samurai beside the 6.5:1 gears In The transfer case, was a bicycle gear shifter mounted to the gear shift that ran to my throttle. So I could run my throttle with my hand while crawling. Slowing me to use fineness the break and clutch with my feet.

Yes to Kaitlyn 👍! With a mild makeover. Lumbejack boots, pants are good, MOOR tshirt with sleeves cut off, MOOR hat worn backwards, double braids and a bandana somewhere. Why are there no bananabandanas? Samoori needs about a 3 foot stretch, 37 minimums with total suspension overhaul, and a twin turbo inline 4 gas or diesel.

As a Samurai owner who struggled with stock gears. I recommend you swap the Tcase gears to the 6.5 to 1 gear set from Trail Gear. Then if you add a locker or two you will be amazed how well it'll crawl.

Yes, you should hire Kaitlin. She knows how to drive, fearlessly, and she has a great sense of humor. It will be fun to watch you teach her things, and watch Tom teach her how to do the correctly‼️🤣

I think dig dug would look great in a gray kind of like the shirt you wearing, similar to what the bed color already is. It sets it up on the MORR color scheme but still sets it apart. And absolutely bring Katelyn on. It's good to show girls that they can be ANYTHING they want to be.

The boom alone makes that Samurai look like it’s going to pop a wheelie. 😂

Caitlin is a KEEPER!!! Her willingness and confidence is amazing!

Hire her! From the one liners to giving you a scare she'd be an awesome addition to the team.

Tom: If you want to go with the shop colors for the paint, but a bit different too; how about the highlight grey that's around the MORR logo (or the grey on the Morrvair) for the brown of the two tone. And the Banana yellow, for where the beige middle stripe is? Maybe just slim down the width of the yellow stripe.

Throw a Trail Tough Spring over kit on that thing, a 6.4:1 transfer case, a MY-Side CV Harley carb and that Samurai will be hummin!

Kaitlin seems to have had a pretty rad life so far! I think MORR is the next step in that awesomeness!

Yes! Bring her on board! Funny, scares Matt and obviously she’s a driver! I think she’ll be a great asset to the team!!

As a 4Runner nut I'm exited to see those 4Runner ORP wheels on the BigDog. Love its lower offset +15 and perfect width for bigger tires with width upto 285mm compared to TRD Pro wheels.

When they first arrived in N. America I had a contract to supply carpet set and rear seat as a dealer option. Fun car!! the big guys would go out and race around in the bogs, then the Sam wrecker would go in and tow them out. The Sam was light, so it did not sink in, so could get close enough to winch out the Chev Ford, Jeep etc. Beat your idea by a few decades. :)

Nobody will replace Lizzie, but Kaitlin fits right in. Looking forward to future videos with her!

One vote for Kaitlin! Her smiles are priceless...

Been watching your videos for a few days now. I finally got to this one, I was kind of saving it because I have a Samurai as well, recently acquired. Used to use them to read meters all over Arizona. These things are indestructible! I found you by watching Myron from Zuk's Off Road, as he had called you out in a video! Hope you called him, good stuff there for sure!!

OK, This will be long winded. Even though I know you won't take any of my suggestions! First, extend the wheelbase a couple of feet for stability. Four link it, and I'd use coil springs and a good set if air shocks(so you can put more air in or take it out, to make it capable with what ever load. (some SXS's weight more than the Sammy.) Engine change for something with lots of torque, like a 4BT, an auto trans(hence another reason to stretch it. ) A 4 to one case, or deeper, I'd change the axles out to 44.'s Toyota, or even one tons. But since you are wanting to keep it narrow, any of them will need to be cut down and maybe even some custom back spacing on the wheels. For the boom, I'd go with a simple tube inside of a tube, with holes to manually change the length of the boom. Kinda like a engine hoist. To keep down the need for a driver in the towed vehicle, I'd make a small sling like on old style wreckers. You can get creative with the extra 2' of space with recovery gear and so on. With all this the weight and the torque will make it so much more stable. If anything, stay away from using the sammy axles, the tubes are super thin. Another option would be the tracker engine, and doubler with low gears in one of the cases, I think you can get a 6.4 or something really low.which would give you a high range and three low ranges. Also, bow the frame, it is also pretty thin. Can't wait to see what you do with this build. And a big YES, on hiring Caitlin. She a great replacement for the loss of Lizzy, the young, honest input from either is very entertaining, and he already seems to be a great fit! TOM TOM. Matt has Yellow, Merlin has "old" Paul has, well he has no main color unless i'd be white, Rorry has brown and blue, Robby has blue, and black, Chad has Orange(but as of now, we don't know what color his wrecker will be.) A Robby pain job would be awesome, but, if you use a tractor paint, and there are many, you can do it yourself and come out really cheap.
