All good! We'll make it out that way again soon. Let us know if you're ever out here on the East Coast or Tennessee again which is not too far from us. Good luck with the Off-Road Wrecker Games!

I’ve been watching Matt’s wrecker build since day one! Awesome to see it on the rocks! What broke??!!

@@raleighscorcher both axles snapped and the engine and gear box blew up. But Matt wasn't fazed cos the winches still work just fine.😆😉👍

@@raleighscorcher Naw it was just the internals on the transfer case. A quick rebuild and he is back in the game..

@raleighscorcher you forgot the steering column came apart also

It was tough to watch it happen for sure! Things happen and this is why you test stuff. I appreciate the comment!

It was an awesome trip. Two completely different worlds! Long haul in the Jeep but 100% worth it!

I'm sure he was disappointed, but it isn't a failure. I agree. This is just working out the kinks. It's just unfortunate that he didn't have more wheeling time before KOH or this would have already happened. I'm sure a bigger spline as I heard mentioned on another vid will solve the problem. It was amazing seeing how easily it went up that first obstacle with those huge tires. At least power and torque will not be a problem, and it looks pretty flexible Just need to make the drive train a bit more bullet proof. Databyter

@@Databyter I don't recall Lockers being installed either, and if that's the case, it's going to be a BEAST

@@LeonSteelpaw Prmative air lockers were sort of working, Matt showed them off in his video today.

@@nphil93992 Fair, but I did not know they were there until today's video dropped

I wanted to share my experience but I left A LOT out that I had filmed because I do not want to take away from their experience and what they want to share.

He's built a nice rig, what's it now? 3/4 Dun?

Interesting, the more you know! Thanks!

Yep, someone donated them to build :)

haha love that name

It's a 8.1

@@JRD77VET Yep 496 cubic inches..the 6.0 would do the job, heck I think even the 5.3 would, but the 8 liter brings the torque like nothing else...

Thanks Keith! And always!

Absolutely! Every rig there was different and it was cool to see how they all performed. I appreciate it🤙🏼

Thank you!

It was awesome! Great group of people!

Absolutely!!

Haha everyone kinda spoiled bits and pieces but you'll get the FULL run down from them on their channel.

@@BuiltDifferentGarage Yeah. It's weird. I've seen these bits, but nothing Offroad Rig specific from Matt's channel since this happened. They are probably busy with repairs and editing a ton of footage. I'm really looking forward to the POV footage from the wrecker doing its first offroading. Databyter

@@Databyter Absolutely and it is coming soon!

Pretty cool that they're giving so many other channels some time to show the WLORW in action before they do a full set of videos on it. I'm sure their videos will be great, showing all the good climbing and the breaks , it's got to be a whole lot of editing work.

Thanks! You’re not wrong! They were prepared for sure.

They were a gift. And why do you care? You may not have noticed but it ain't YOUR rig.

They are unique and not something I have seen previously.

6x6 cannot perform on a rated 8 trail

Thank you!

Thanks!

Absolutelz agree! I think that Matt wrecker will be good only on flat ground.

@@lucianionutcocos4413 Im not saying it isnt gonna work, but it isnt at the moment! And I wonder how much the weight will play a part in its future. I cant imagine it doing all the stuff I see the Morrvair doing right now. Like straddling very tight ridges that a lighter rig works better on. It will be exciting to see none the less :)

It was pretty funny to watch that unfold

😂😂

Heh, that's why Rory's just kicking back, he's already broken and replaced with stronger, all the parts on Trail Mater.

It was a badass unit!

Matt's wrecker is designed to go on rated 8 trails. Hence, the world's Largest Off-road Wrecker. Try that with the M984.

Hahaha that’s funny. Hopefully that’s a good thing I remind you of him😂

I would but my fiance is partial to the east coast haha. I'll just keep making the trips out west!

I have 3'x5' flags and stickers currently. Shirts and hats are next!

Nah, just more of the work in progress ;)

Gotta test and find weak spots before they get caught in the middle of nowhere with other ppls vehicles on the line tho too

Yeah I agree, but are lockers even available for the axles he's using?

@@charlesbradford6738 Give me the Axle Make & Model Number, and I will have a Look. I can NOT see why not. Older "Rockwell" Axles are now, often "EVOLVED" into something from the likes of MERITOR, or AXELTECH, or DANA or whoever , but they didn't entirely "Go-Away". First place to contact would be WESTERN CANADIAN ROCKWELL. Simply because of their Product Knowledge.

Both axles have had lockers since day one. He was testing without the air lockers engaged.

Classic one-upper.

Hey Buck, I shit walnuts!!

@@woodrowcall3269 now that sir, is impressive. Do you wipe with 30 grit ?

Do they have a channel that shows the whole process? Matt never says its the biggest rig. He calls the the biggest Off Road WRECKER.

@@wildtimbrown I think they wanted to go out four muddy Valentines at plantbamboo I'm not too sure they got a channel but they do a lot of recording when they go out

Lockers are factory installed on both axles. They are activated by air.

This was a test run! He built for off road recovery’s that require a large wrecker in hard to reach areas.

Correct. You can drive/ride whatever you bring. You’ll see it all there!

Simply sharing my experience with an awesome group of people.

Where can we see YOUR rig? Your whining is kinda lame..

@@wildtimbrown If I came off as whining , it was unintentional. I'm a big fan of Matt's Rig, and Matt's Channel, and Matt himself. Just talking about the rig. I think it has the potential to be super capable, as we can already see. I just felt added traction from less pressured tires would have helped, and I don't think there's one in ten on this page that would disagree with that after watching the vid. It's likely that he had other fish to fry later and didn't want to have to repressurize and figured it was enough for that trail, and it was, until his shaft broke. As far as my comments. It's a free Country. I'm not whining. Matt doesn't need you defending comments that are not an attack. So calm down. I'm not hating or criticising. Just thinking outloud. If it came across as criticism of Matt's project, it wasn't intended to be. I think it's an awesome rig and I've watched dozens of hours of video seeing it built up from the frame. I'm thinking about buying a ticket for the Offroad Rescue Games in March. Might as well, I got fired a few months ago and have nothing be free time now. My rig is a Subaru Wilderness not a rock crawler and I'm not ashamed of it. It's a nice compromise to get me to a lot of offroad areas, as well as different areas of the Country, even if I can't do the obstacles. But I can hike and fish and film and enjoyu enjoy the trek. I've got 10" clearance with no lift. So far that's been enough to get to a lot of places. I'm thinking of a trip to the tip of Alaska, I was going to do it on a bike, but I'm not getting any younger and this vehicle is probably the better choice. So that's my rig. Databyter

@@Databyter Whatever Dude. If you need 20 lines of text to justify yourself, I'm not your problem.

@@wildtimbrown Well, I figured you needed 20 lines. Nobody else had a problem with what I said, so I wanted to make sure you were clear. Obviously it was you that had the problem. I was just being polite on the off chance that you were cool. Obvously I wasted my explanation on you. Go hate on somebody else.

​@@Databyterthis is a record for the longest reply on KZfaq, lmao holy shit

Anything positive? What do you mean by that? He hasn’t even used it to it’s fullest potential, how can you call it a dudd?

You're Pitt ifle.

@@BuiltDifferentGarage I owned a Trucking Company plus two Full Service Truck Stops as well been an off roader for well over 60 years. And If I had spent the money on that One Truck that he has, I would have bought a Real Army Ambulance and built it up. I was off Roading and Hill Climbing long before most of you including Matt and owned the Pony Express Hill Climbs as well as the Rock quarry on the Missouri River where It was very extreme for Events. I am not a Virgin at this type of games. I was fifth place July 4, 1962 in the Pike Peak Races in a Dodge Polaras.I traveled the Racing Circuit for nearly twenty years. Pitiful? Just making an Honest remark.. I Love the fun and Danger, Even at 83 years of age, It is sad people today are no longer allowed to express their personal opinions. There are many things I do enjoy about Matt's sites. I loved Cerro Gordo. I even offered several Thousands of Dollars in real Antiques for the Museum there and never received one reply or Return phone call. I do not watch it anymore. I was an Entertainer in several such Places and even offered to Volunteer being a Character Entertainer only to be ignored. I have worked with many Great named Entertainers. And we were all good friends.

I simply asked a question in response to your statement. I didn’t question you personally or your experiences. I also said nothing about you being pitiful.

@@BuiltDifferentGarage LMAO! Yes, a Lot. I honestly enjoyed the Hammer. It brought back Memories of the late 1950's when I took a trip from Missouri to California in a 1949 Ford Convertible. I traveled the Back roads a lot and believe me, they were in many ways like the Hammer in a Stock Ford. Take and jump in my 1901 Oldsmobile Reproduction and travel from California to Missouri and back on a 16 Horse Briggs Stratton Engine with just old fashion Motorcycle Harley drum manual Brakes going down some of even the paved Highways in the Mountains or running along the side of Interstate 80 into Salt Lake City and then on to Interstate 15 South to where you can leave the area on Interstate 80 again. Can you imagine driving a wooden car with no steering wheel and very little Brakes traveling at 22 MPH in all that Traffic? That Hammer was nothing. I did that honoring our American Fallen Warriors as well as the Wounded Warriors and I paid all of my own expenses not asking anyone for a cent. Every cent that was donated went into self addressed Envelopes and was mailed direct to the Organizations. It was reported that my trip drew over $100,000.00 in Donations. I slept out on the Ground under my car while my wife slept in my following Pickup just incase I broke down. My Chain Broke and I had to use the top wire of a Hog Wire Fence to make a Master Link to drive it into a Harley Davidson Dealer for a Link, and they had to go to a Hardware to get one that fit I broke two Belts and lost one tire. Lucky I was carrying a spare tire and Inner tubes' and used the Air Horn Air Pump to air the tire up out on the rad. I was honored by not only our Congressman, But also President Obama for over sixty continuous years of serving our Veterans. Yes, I am one very Pitiful Person. I have donated far more than that truck cost towards helping others and donating to Hysterical Museums over my life time and hardly anyone cares.

Matt has several employees who are paid to work on a variety of projects and help with off-road vehicle retrievals. So it may be more accurate to say that Matt's employees worked on the wrecker project and others according to Matt's instructions than to suggest that they did only the wrecker.

Your just saying your a negative person jealous of someones project. Point of fact he has never claimed to be the only one to build it, and has heaped praise of those that helped, and should you have watched his videos as much as you claim to like his channel you would have known this.

@@keithnichols7926 lol ! I was taking about dot standard an who was the ASE mechanic or an the ASE certified body shop? Not a bonch of ppl that know shit

Him and his team built it. You can go watch the videos on his channel. Of course he did get some outside help, but very little.

@@markreynolds872 they still know more than you who only know how to talk loud. Keep quiet and let people think you are a fool , or open your big trap and let people see wat stupid looks like.

40… that’s it? I was trying for 50. I can send you the footage so you can watch it on repeat😂
