    Eric, you have something none of the others can ever take from you and that is the title of OG of youtube Offroad Recovery and if they could have heard us all yelling from home you'd won that people's choice trophy and congratulation on the lift, it is well deserved. maybe someday I'll see you in the woods.

    I found your channel by RUclips by watching Matt’s channel. You and your crew and wife did fantastic. You all came the farthest. You came out with a wrecker that still looks and works like a wrecker. You came out with the smallest and lowest power engine did a great job. Your trucks work’s really good for what you were put through. That is fantastic that Challenger lifts gave your a new lift. I’ve been a mechanic for 43 plus years. Challenger is a good lift and you know that. I hope to see you at the next games. Fantastic job overall

    This was all so much fun, I'm very glad you were involved and can't wait to see what's in store for the channel once you get the lift.
