Thanks Matt for being so kind to my grandchildren! They were so excited to see you and Mer.... they’ve all been big fans for a long time!

As a member of Southwest Fire Dept, hope you enjoy the ol’ girl. She served us well.

Demolition Ranch Fire Department- would be a sweet shirt and proceeds to a Fire related charity/ fund!

Matt: Spends $10k on guns. "Yeah, Mere's totally cool with it..." Mere: buys 3 chickens... Matt: "WHYYYYYYYY?!"

Mere probably saw the lights outside and thought they finally came for him.

It is becoming more and more apparent that Matt is building his own military.

“If ya’ll order chicken strips, that’s kinda messed up”! 🤣

I have passed this truck everyday on my way home for the last 2 years and I am very glad to see it go to a great home!

Mare: "I bought more Chickens." Matt: "Honey we will never Financially recover from this." Also Matt: "Honey, I Bought a new Truck"

Matt complaining about Mere buying chickens.... meanwhile he's collecting trucks same rate as Thanos is collecting infinity stones😆

As a firefighter I can tell you you’re gonna want way more than 500 gallons of water. You’ll run out of that faster than you can say “I’m out of water.”

“Actually really roomy” 😂😂😂 until kits, weapons, assault packs litter the thing.

Use the central tire inflation to lower the tire pressure, that might give you enough clearance for the barn

Mere: *looks out the window to the scene of a firetruck sitting in the driveway with its lights on* "Damnit Matt"

'Honey I'm bringing chickens to dinner.' 'Don't you mean for dinner?' 'Nope'

Mere buying animals: "Don't tell Matt"

Matt: “If you order chicken strips, that’s messed up...” Lol.😂🤣😂

Have your welder build a skid to put the tank/pump on so you can lift them off the truck so you can use the truck for other things.

Speaking of fire fighting have you thought about creating a reservoir on the property, you have lots of hard rock basins that could be filled with water in the event of a wildfire.

Texan: "You don't even play with the last chickens"

Mere at Tractor Supply: “don’t tell Matt”

Matt: "big spare, bet that's heavy" Robert Oberst: "hold my beer"

The Demolitia Motor Pool just keeps growing.

I was really hoping to see Mere's reaction to the new Chief. Surely, I'm not the only one.

If some dude comes and tells you that this was the truck he drove in high school be very suspicious.

If you used the deflating option on the wheels you might be able to get it in the barn, just a thought.

Future OTR episode - Mere goes chicken shopping, stares into the camera and says "We have one rule, ......Don't tell Matt !"

from driving one during my service with the Army, i can say your in for some fun with the LMTV! just don’t go muddying too much lol

See Matt, you did a good deed giving the first Gen back to that guy and it came back around to you. This truck is an ABSOLUTE level up. It’s insane. Literally a monster fire truck with lights and sirens and snorkel. Crazy.

The past year of demolition ranch has been the definition of that joke that "boys don't grow up, their toys just get bigger"

That truck is sick! Good score! You MUST put a water canon on the roof. They're awesome! 😁

From a rural firefighter, go out to a local rural company and tour their brush trucks. There are a lot of options, but most of them will have a similar loadout. Red line w/ auto-retract, 400-800gal water tank, small gas pump & tank at least 100gpm (more for that top cannon will be needed), fill & dump valves, & hand water extinguisher to spray water. Chainsaw, fire rake, axe, halligan bar, winch, ropes, shovels, broom. I'd also highly recommend a hardwired radio programmed to the local fire channels so you can call in the fire to alarm.

Now you need a carport that collects rain to keep the tank filled like at the demo headquarters.

Call it “Master Chief” it’s a bigger, better version of the old “Chief”

I love how Matt ignores Google and every other search engine and immediately assumes someone in the comments will know the correct answer.

Cheap tank option: Use a military engine storage crate. You might be able to fit 2 on the bed. I was on a rural volunteer fire Dept WAY BACK! This was the logical solution on a deuce & a half truck. The tanks are round and come in different sizes for all the engines. It worked well & never leaked. I’m sure that a base would have discarded “crates” from maintaining trucks, tanks, aircraft, etc... might even be free!

Mere has one rule when she gets a new chicken ; dont tell matt.

Matt’s only neighbor right next to him at night is like wtf is he doing now

Hey man, been a subscriber for years. Just wanted to say that buying a fire truck as a rancher is probably one of the best things to you can do. Provided you know what to do with one, it's a great asset. I've been a firefighter for a few years. I'm at an urban station, not a rural one so I don't see any private trucks but neighbouring stations in rural areas always say that half their fire calls in bushland end up getting put out by private owned trucks before they even get on scene. Definitely a worthy investment.

Mere: We bought some new chickens next episode: Can a white chicken stop a 50 Cal BMG.

Matt- “I need a new daily driver after I gave the raptor to WD” Also Matt *buys fire truck instead of new daily*

Mere drops $20 on chicks... Matt drops 20k on another truck.... Clearly Mere's spending is out of control! :P

Matt: We need to order a tank. Next Episode Matt shows off his new Abram.

Nice brush truck! When I was Fire Chief in Kleberg county, We had an old Army 6x. I would have loved to have a truck like that. Good luck with it, and I hope it has a long life on Demo Ranch.

Matt: I think we're going to leave the chickens behind when we sell this place. Mere: So..... I just bought four more chickens.

To get the El Chromino out, use the winch on the front of Abel to lift up the back end and push the El Chromino. Easier than trying to maneuver a trailer back there.

We have a category 7 truck (specifically the old Canter) in the NSW RFS that is roughly the same size as this and is our main bush firefighting vehicle, will go anywhere you want to put it literally. Our truck's are a commercial grade truck outfitted with fire apparatus. Yours being of a military grade, should take more then what we can throw at our truck's. Great Buy there Matt!

Those S&S M1078's were made in Sealy, TX before they were bought out. They have a CAT C7 ACERT engine in them too and are pretty reliable. You should look into the gun turret mount that goes into that space in the ceiling. You can mount a water canon up there and be able to spin it 360 degrees around the truck if you can figure out the water supply to it.

You need an Ultra High Pressure Fire suppression system. Basically, they are modified pressure washers that spray a fire with a powerful mist of very fine water droplets. This increases the surface area of the water, and it rapidly cools the fuel at the source of ignition. You get much faster fire suppression, and you can put out much more fire with a given amount of water.

I know my friend who works at the fire station in Auburn, Alabama, and he was the one helping get that fire truck to you!

Awesome! I'm in Birmingham, Alabama, and happy to know you found, Chief here in our fine state. Can't wait to see the finished product! 👍

That thing has run flats on it, you'll love it, it's a great vehicle, through nothing will ever replace the deuce in half

It’s has auto tire inflation, let air out to pull it in the barn

Mere's just working you up to actually getting a few heads of cattle for the ranch.

Straight out of High School I worked at Stewart&Stevenson (later BAE systems) building these trucks on the assembly line. The test track they ran them around was awesome! Next Matt needs to get an MRAP!

Demolita police car "Demolita Police Department, In Guns We Trust"

As soon as it pulled up I was like hey I know that truck! That's from Southwest fire department in Auburn Alabama! Exciting to see something you've touched on a famous channel! War Damn Eagle!

You'll have to make up for no New Year Christmas Tree fire this year

8:37 “thanks mom for backing us up” thats what moms are for 💯

Put a remote controlled nozzle on the roof. We run a remote nozzle that articulates horizontally and vertically. It’s pretty awesome!

Air down a little, then it'll fit in the barn. You've got CTIS

I imagine Mere screaming like Kevin’s father at the end of Home Alone but instead of screaming about room service, she’s screaming “You spent how much on a fire truck?!!!” 😆

Surely Matt puts some pew pew storage on that thing and makes it his ranch truck. So it's always down on the range with him. He could even put a spot to pew off...

Hey Matt, remember you can air those tires down to get it into the barn....just didn't want to see you miss a photo opportunity.

Matt: "Why did both tires on my el chromino just randomly fall off???" Matt last week: walks under dozens of ladders, breaks mirrors, steps on cracks, makes a black cat cross his path...etc

He said order a tank and I thought at first he wanted an old Sherman or something. The ultimate "Don't tell Mere."

This truck actually have Austrian origin! Here in Austria it was developed as Steyr 12M18, later the manufactor won an order for the US Army. They truck was built under license by Stewart & Stevenson with modifications to meet the requirements: CAT engine, automatic transmission, no differential locks to name the most important changes. Original 12M18 here: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_12M18 M1078 here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_of_Medium_Tactical_Vehicles

Great truck you should protect your truck with wheel sprayers and an overhead sprinkler for overrun situations, have them either on a seperate electric pump or solonoids off main pump, pump start controls in the cab. Pressure hose on a real for spot fires in tree canopy with minimal water use and a storts fitting off main pump for layflat hoses and something often not concerned is the ability to pump from dams faster than you can out put so you can fight indefinitely with a constant water supply. Thats how we do it in the rural fire service in australia would happily give some pointers big fan of the channel we dont get to have anywhere near the fun you guys have in Australia.

Matt, The LMTV can cross 60" of water. And its Light Mobile Tactical Vehicle.

With the amount of cars, trucks, guns and “targets” I’m sure you’ve bought without telling mare, I don’t think you can be the slightest amount of surprised they bought more chicken

Matt, you might not see this but it's worth a shot. My unit is made up of A LOT of these trucks, both 2.5 and 5 ton configurations and I've been working on them for 3 years now. If you want someone who can tell you almost everything there is to know about it, message me or what not. Also I visited Bunker Branding this weekend on Monday and bought a good bit of merch. Bunker Brandkng is so much bigger in person. Good work man

That truck totally reminds me of the old Jeep FC150 and FC170 models. Now one of those should be the next vehicle for the Ranch.

if Matt actually puts a water cannon on the roof, this will officially be my favorite vehicle that he owns.

Next Week: "So I bought an M1 Abrams."

Im aware of a company in Texas that sells skid units with everything attached. My station has bought two 100 gallon skids for our rangers. And one 850 gallon skid for one of our 5 ton brush trucks!

I was a training NCO for Transportation Corp the Army. (88M)See about putting the CTIS in sand mode. You should get about 4 inches lower. Hope that will get her in the stable . Love what you are doing.

I feel like I’m the only one eagerly waiting to go back to the abandoned mansion

He could easily fit it in the barn, just deflat the tires.

Some first owner fire department better not see that and start crying and demanding it back.

Just remember 1 important thing on your fire trick. Water weighs 8.5 lbs per gallon. Also with water in the tank you will have a a elevated chance of rolling that truck over with that tank up higher due to bed height. Make sure that you order a tank with baffles to mitigate movement of water inside the tank. Order a pump with drafting capability if you have a large lake or pond. Get 2 1 inch booster line with 30 to 60 gallon per minute nozzles and that will give you plenty of water for those lines. 15 year veteran in fire service if you need any help.

LMTVs are made by Stewart and Stevenson in Houston, so they are Texas natives!

He's gone through so many vehicles in the last 4 years it's unbelievable

Nice truck and it comes with the lights and sirens too.....sweet.

Hearing the LMTV start up brings back alot of great memories. I enjoyed driving, and maintaining the LMTV

This man out here living his life like it's GTA Online and buying the most obnoxious vehicles he can find because he can

Matt: idk, might get rid of the chickens... Mere: THREE MORE CHICKENS!!

Wonder what he meant when he said he needs to buy a “tank”...

Great addition to the collection! Big plus is you don't have to put a lot more into it to make it right.

Need to tie this into the rainwater collection at the HQ. They way its always topped off.

"even if its just a water cannon up there we need that" hahaha we all know what turret/cannon he really wants mounted in the turret

Great truck! Welcome chief to the Demolitia!! John 😎👍

We've got one of these at our fire station and it's my favorite truck.

Me and my 6 year old daughter watch off the ranch every night at bed time my daughter Zoe loves you and I obviously think your awesome best wishes from the UK

Heya Matt just wanna say you are the only vlogger I watch religiously. Your energy and passion you put in to everything you do is massively inspiring. The demolitia is strong and you have my love from England.

Thats the perfect fit for your fire needs, even a nice paint job

That's been my dream truck for past few years glad I get to see you with one

Matt was a lot happier in this outro than he was when he drove the wheels off the el chromino

Air down tires and she may just fit in the barn

For the water cannon make it also double as an interchangeable gun turret for fire fighting and fire fights. Can never be too prepared.

It’s a diaphragm pump and so easy to rebuild when due and you will love it Matt
