Hey guys! Glad I caught this video soon after yall posted, hopefully yall will see this. I love what you guys do and how down to earth you all are. Super stoked you guys are growing and I hope someday I will have the resources to help people as much as you all have!!
With all these recoveries I wonder when you’ll recover your reputation from scamming people into buying worthless basketball cards. Still waiting to see that “made right” like you said you would a few months ago.
@@artic9514 dang didn’t know they did that there always scamming people to buy new toys to either wreck or drown In a lake they can’t ever help a viewer or maybe some kid with cancer gotta be hey we bought a 2 million dollar tank we can’t use let’s sell it and get our money back and post about it cause we’re fags
Just saw you and your team help the houseboat stranded on the lake and you guys deserve a round of applause for being someone that reaches down into the pit to help pull someone out.
@@iheartwheeliesActually many / most of the recoveries they do are at no cost to a people stuck. What's the recovery heavy day did the airplane crash in Oregon. Recoveries wanted $50,000 for the family to do it the man's body was still there and the wife cannot get any money from the bank or insurance until she had a death certificate but she could not get cuz you know the money to pay the $50,000 if you needed that for free I left at no charge of the family if you think they paid anything to your insane. If you don't cry while watching that video you're not even a human being.
I have a confession!!! I love you guys! I love you compassion, energy, and the music you add to your videos. Here comes the BUT…. Sometimes your music is a little too loud for your voices. Since I’m old enough to be all y’all’s mom thanks for the work you do, the people you help and especially for having fun while you do it. I still haven’t figured that out but at my age, I can live vicariously through you! Please stay safe and healthy we need a good Governor!!!
Dude to see that bigggg ole wrecker out hoonin’ makes me happy. I hate when people build awesome stuff and let it sit and don’t use it for whatever reason. Really cool to see it putting in the work 🤙
I showed my mom your videos, especially when you help others, searching for those that are lost, when you helped those poor ladies stranded on their bus, and she said "Por eso dios le concedio una compania grande, porque el tiene corazon grande" "This is why God granted him a big company, because he has a big heart"
Another awesome video! Love it when the "big dog" gets used. Here's a little trick for getting the M1070 HET into low range. Keep a little pressure on the transfer case handle towards Low, use your other hand to quickly bump the transmission from Neutral to Drive and back to Neutral again, should slide right into Low, no problem. Let me know if it works for yours. Absolutely love HETs, was in the 377 Transportation Company (Platoon Sergeant and Truckmaster) at Fort Bliss, Texas for six years, BEST UNIT IN THE ARMY!! "HEAVY TRUCK!"
Amazing work! It also shows why you don’t take big motor homes like that off pavement. I saw a video a while back of a lady with a motor home similar to that parking it for a week in her son’s backyard to visit. When she went to leave she was stuck. They had to call a wrecker service to pull it out and put pieces of plywood under the tires to get it to move.
For those who have never seen one up close the Oshkosh super het is an impressively large and powerful machine It was designed to haul the M-1 Abrams main battle tank Loved the sound of that big Detroit as you were tackling the dunes
I like the rumble of a D9 on a lowboy traveling. 60 series are great, aren't they! Maybe Heavy D should keep an old Cat Challenger or equivalent when the truck gets stuck eventually?
Love how dedicated your camera crew is. They focus on the guys when they talk, and they usually never look at what the guys are talking about which bugs the hell out of me.
Heavy D I hope all is well brother, another great video and recovery hats off to you, however I can’t help but notice something may be bothering you today . Maybe it’s just me but head high, you are one of the greats !!! You make the world a better place. Thanks for another exciting experience.
Heavy D, you and you crew are truly amazing guys and are so helpful to so many people. Love watching your channel. Thanks again for more great content. Love the sand dune driving in the wrecker to complete the trip :)
I think if you and Matt from Matt's off road recovery hung out for a day then some really cool ideas would evolve. You both have a really fun mindset. I appreciate your sharing the experiences you've created. Thanks for taking the time to bring your moments to the viewers! You're an inspiration to get me off of my lazy butt!
You and your team is one of the best most hard working group of genuine people that do their best to help out other. We need more people like you in the world.
The HET is a pure Beast!! There maybe some machinery out here bigger in weight then this truck but and thing all the way up to a R.V it’s got the brutal muscle strength no other towing rig has nor ever could have!!! Love this old arm truck man!! Any vehicle y’all use don’t get me as excited as the Het so keep being here out to these recovery’s!!!
@@jaxxtenmarkko8489 Depends which one we're talking about. The Abrahm M1 Abraham's tank weighed around 67 tons empty (about 69 tons with a combat load, and about 75 tons if the plow was added. The tanks we pulled out of the mud in Iraq were old Russian T-62s and BMPs and those are nothing like the M1 Abrahams (they are lighter). I'd say the (wild guess here) BMP was about 15-20 tons, and the T-62 was about 35-40 tons.... Keep in mind the mud makes them "weigh more" due to the dragging resistance. Still the M1070 bobtail can easily pull these tanks bcuz of it low gear transmission. Like I said, it's a beast. I so want to buy one.... Here's something to think about. The M1070 tractor weighs about 20 tons, the trailer to pull the M1 tank weighs about 25 tons, and the M1 Abraham's tank with plow and combat load 75 tons. 120 tons. That's what this tractor's potential is like. We drove many missions like this thru Iraq, in 140F degree weather, and we even went thru steep climbs and descents in the mountains (outside of Mosul, Iraq).... It's not fast (max speed 48 mph), but it will haul heavy loads.
Need to haul that HET on a Front Load Lowbed / RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailer to make loading/unloading safer and easier! That way it's not so high in the air when driving on and off the traler, has a low chance of flipping, the center of gravity is down closer to the ground when hauling making driving and turning safer for the driver pulling it, and your height clearances are lower for going under overpasses, bridges, power lines, trees, etc!
Yeah, but those trailers have next to no ground clearance. Whenever they got onto something unpaved it would be time to unload. At least here they could make it over the odd rise in the road
@@BrokeWrench, watch a video of the trailers, they can have up to 3 extra feet of ground clearance on demand! Air bags and other ways to lift the trailers into the air.
I subscribed because i saw the video of you guys helping the guy at lake mead with the houseboat! Incredible, its good to know their are still great people asking nothing in return! 👍👍👍👍
You guys are living my dream life. I gotta admit, I'm a little jealous of the toys and adventures but love the videos. I guess I'll have to live vicariously through y'all!
Nice recovery brother. I know you used soft shackles but still think you should use dampeners on your recovery straps especially when having lost of spectators around the recovery vehicles. If something comes off under those kinds of tension that thing will be a weapon even if it is just a recovery strap. Just as a precaution for promoting safety in recovery and also allowing for more future recovery videos to come. Keep up the good work and hope to see more content in the future.
Also I believe the spectators are grown…… and the young ones parents should watch and move them accordingly not heavy’s job to do recovery and tell other grown adults what to do
Wow!!! First time ever to see a RV stuck in deep sand. I just had to subscribe. I am very impressed by the skills. I never thought a heavy Class A motorhome can loose grip in sand. Nicely done in moving it out. And y'all are funny as heck. 😂😂😂 I've got lots to catch up on. Super cool rig you got.
Paint a guide line on the trailer and bucket in line with you steering column, It works for me every time and I operate an American HC50 crawler. We carry our own 900 Scoop Loader.
I love this channel. I hope you give the OshKosh a serious exhaust makeover one day since it’s used for off-road recovery. Let her bark..lol. It sounded beautiful going through the desert.
I've seen a *lot* of stuck motorhomes in my day (off-road racing) and the folks that participate in this awesome sport generally have the means to financially react to these unfortunate situations. Still sucks being stuck!
Low and slow wins the day! Nice work guys! I was watching that sand ripple between the tires. Lots of trapped moisture pockets underneath it seems. Loving that green machine beast!
I wish y’all would release videos like this more often. Gives me an exciting lunch before I go back to my hazard pay 🤙. I meant It be nice if they released 3 or more videos every week. Not just one a week or less. I didn’t use the best wording for the keyboard warriors. My apologies.
I always thought this is the kind of wrecker "Matt's Off Road Recovery" was going to build. I lived in the area and it is not just the sand you have to watch out for but the clay as well because when it gets wet it turns to pig snot and sucks up in the tread of tires making the tread worthless. Might as well be driving on bald tires. The Green Machine is awesome.
@@jacobpoucher. I lived for a while in the general area that "Matts Off Road" caters to and dealt with tourist, hunters, and locals so I know the area pretty well and enjoy watching his RUclips videos and reading comments from people that don't know a thing about off roading, especially in that area and Matt does go into depth about some of the reasons why people get stuck in the area which is based on facts. So, it is entertaining and educational for people that want to visit the area.
Good recovery. I would have set the CTIS on "Mud, Snow & Ice", transfer in low, tranny in low and feathered the throttle as needed. I drove the HET M1070 & M1000 tractor/trailer combo in Iraq back in 2003/2004. My unit logged in over 2.2 MILLION mission miles. We hauled everything heavy armored like the M1 Abrams MBT (combat loaded), the M88 tracked armored maintenance recovery vehicle, and a whole lot more. I like how you repositioned the 55K lb winches to the rear. I also see you have the NBC hoses still in place in the back of the inside cab. They are to hook up to your protective mask, using the vehicle's filtration system while driving in a NBC environment. Love the HET and miss driving it. The cable hanging down just behind you is to turn your bask seat in to a double sleeping bunk. After releasing the back rest, you pull it up to the cable and loop it around the bolt. Good luck on your many adventures and keep it safe👍😎
There are two schools of thought on off road recovery: relatively lightweight recovery vehicle that uses kinetic energy to "pop" a vehicle up and out trailer included - then the heavy way with an over-the-top Oshkosh recovery vehicle doing a very slow drag of the stuck vehicle and trailer separately. Given the size and stuckness of this RV the heavy way won today.
Hello Dave. I know you have helped Brent a lot up at Cerro Gordo with all your work and with the donation of the 5 ton truck. You note that the recovered vehicles are often worth no more than scrap. He rents a back hole every now and then to help with his construction. I suspect he could use a loader. You have recovered several. A used loader might not be worth much to a construction firm that uses them daily and works them hard - the recovered loader might not be too reliable. But for Brent, who would use them only occasionally, a used loader might be valuable. With his ability to attract volunteers, he could probably keep it running. Just a thought. It would also make a nice video! Best, stay safe, and good luck. MK Stenstrom
Jeez, dude... the rear jacks on that MH were still down (you can see it at 14:01 and 14:45) - no wonder you had a hard time pulling her loose! 😬 I'm surprised you didn't just break them off...
Now that green hulk truck is what I call the bulls eye sure bet, love 💕 dis truck, engine sound commands it's presence, great job heavy D sparks and family crew, blessed 🙏
You guys are the best with the right and best equipment. I love watching you guys working. I am 74 years old and have seen a lot but you guys are the best!!!
Great recovery. What a beast you have built. Matt has a long way to go for that title of worlds largest offroad wrecker because Brother your are rocking that title. Mean Mean green machine 👍
@@sundancer3700 Calm down white knight. Pretty sure Matt has recovered several RV's (trailer still attached) with his junk that doesn't need a whole production crew and their diaper bags to pull out.
@@sundancer3700 He pulled out a bus that big with the banana before. I don't think he would fail on this job but yeah their leagues are different. This was way too easy for heavy d.
Such a relief to see you have a wife, I saw some episode recently where you described a friend as "Your partner" and the dinosaur in my head kicked in lol.
Love the Het! You guys have taken the recovery game to the next level for sure! I don't think there's a land recovery crew in the United States that has the kind of varied recovery power you do.
If anything, I have learned from watching your videos, and Matt's Off Road Rescue, and TowMater, do not take RV's off the paved surfaces, and do not take trail rated vehicles into the back country. Wonder if he will take the RV and trailer off the prepared roads again? I will keep my answer to myself, haha
Another testimony as to why our US Military uses the Oshkosh M1070. I knew they were as good as pulled out of the sand as soon as I seen you getting the Oshkosh out for business. Nice work Heavy D.
After seeing RVs and other large vehicles stuck in these environments. Why do people choose to do it over and over again? Seems like a huge risk of being stuck and stranded. Better to leave RV on the road and take toys out? Iam not from the desert so I have no clue why you guys do it ha. Great job as always diesel Bros!
Yes it was a great recovery. And I agree. I’m not sure why someone would take a 2 Wheel drive motorhome that low to the ground with a trailer onto anything other than pavement. But we all make mistakes and at least he had a friend to come bail him out.
We got to see a tag team between y’all and Matt’s Off-road Recovery it would make an awesome collaboration especially now that they’re building something comparable to the HET
I enjoyed your video and the lack of made up drama of the other shows. I had driven a heavy recovery Pete rotator but mostly righting semis or flat hauling to a repair facility. But I appreciate your off road work as that's where I started out at pulling stuck 'buggies' out of swamps. That was with a 'homebuilt' truck . 71 Ford cab International travel all frame Dana 70 rear with Detroit locker and a 60 with same locker in front Chevy 350 with remote trans. All steel bed 3/8" on 20" wheels 9:00x20's all around and duals of course on the rears . we didn't have the flotation you do but had screwed tires to rims with onboard compressor when things got sandy also had chains if needed . gets pretty mucky in places here in Florida. But great videos and you have a new subscriber. Thanks again . We had a 'big' wrecker that we'd built to pull shrimp boat winches in off Siesta Kay that would hold its own but we'd chock and use the main winch for most recovery work. Pulled a FP&L Zelligson Derrick on it's frame almost two hundred yards until it had enough traction to pull on it'd own ten wheel drive ..brought back some good memories
Hey y’all checking in from Deleware. I was wondering if now I am a retired registered nurse that worked in the ICU I know nothing about trucks or recovery, but, you know those ramps that you can drive your car or truck up on to look under the car, would you be able to put them up front of all the tires so when you’re pulling such a heavy vehicle it gets pulled up on the ramps? You could always build something similar to the ramps to account for them syncing. Just a thought
My only thought on this recovery is (without knowing the load of that trailer) wouldn't it have been better for the trailer to lower it down so it was riding on both axles after it was out of the ruts?
I thought that too, then i realised it was surely empty, so if it can hold the weight of one of two side by sides it can probabli be pulled empty riding on one axle. Hope this helped, and excuse any error on my english (I' m form Spain).
Dude I have been watching your shows all the way from Guyana. I totally love the ontarage and show of power, However there is one piece of equipment I think will outperform those. A Logging Skidder with a beast of a winch.

I love this channel. I hope you give the OshKosh a serious exhaust makeover one day since it’s used for off-road recovery. Let her bark..lol. It sounded beautiful going through the desert.
Great job! I hope all understand the logistics and costs to pull this off! Great team!
Have to give credit where it is due . You have the most interesting collection of Recovery Vehicles. It looks like you really enjoy what you do .
I couldn’t even imagine what that must’ve cost the poor guy that owned the motorhome. WOW!!!! Bad ass recovery truck though, 👍👍
I've seen a *lot* of stuck motorhomes in my day (off-road racing) and the folks that participate in this awesome sport generally have the means to financially react to these unfortunate situations. Still sucks being stuck!
@@jasonplank8803 I agree. Just another reason I gave up dirt bike riding & bought a boat… hard to get stuck in the water In a boat!! 🤣🤣
Who pays him for the recovery?
@@ramban321 owner of the vehicle that’s stuck.
Never though you were going to be able to get the bus out But it worked really well Way too go guys
Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
Low and slow wins the day! Nice work guys! I was watching that sand ripple between the tires. Lots of trapped moisture pockets underneath it seems. Loving that green machine beast!
Great video! Almost maid me cry thinking about how much it costs in diesel to get the job done! Nice to see them help people out.... great job guys💪
I agree you guys are great at what you do
@@darrellbroome5226 You guys are totally Awesome!!!! Thanks so much for the wonderful videos!
I wish y’all would release videos like this more often. Gives me an exciting lunch before I go back to my hazard pay 🤙.
I meant It be nice if they released 3 or more videos every week. Not just one a week or less. I didn’t use the best wording for the keyboard warriors. My apologies.
*Amateur. I eat my lunch WHILE I get my hazard pay lol. I don't even hit the head at home anymore, I want to spend every minute I can on hazard pay.*
You guys get hazard pay 🤔😭
@@isthatajet4615 yea they work a gay bar never know when you gonna get aids
What's hazard pay???
True, also if you bought AG your day would be even better js 😉
I always thought this is the kind of wrecker "Matt's Off Road Recovery" was going to build. I lived in the area and it is not just the sand you have to watch out for but the clay as well because when it gets wet it turns to pig snot and sucks up in the tread of tires making the tread worthless. Might as well be driving on bald tires. The Green Machine is awesome.
matts off road is a joke.
@@jacobpoucher. I lived for a while in the general area that "Matts Off Road" caters to and dealt with tourist, hunters, and locals so I know the area pretty well and enjoy watching his RUclips videos and reading comments from people that don't know a thing about off roading, especially in that area and Matt does go into depth about some of the reasons why people get stuck in the area which is based on facts. So, it is entertaining and educational for people that want to visit the area.
Good recovery. I would have set the CTIS on "Mud, Snow & Ice", transfer in low, tranny in low and feathered the throttle as needed.
I drove the HET M1070 & M1000 tractor/trailer combo in Iraq back in 2003/2004. My unit logged in over 2.2 MILLION mission miles. We hauled everything heavy armored like the M1 Abrams MBT (combat loaded), the M88 tracked armored maintenance recovery vehicle, and a whole lot more. I like how you repositioned the 55K lb winches to the rear. I also see you have the NBC hoses still in place in the back of the inside cab. They are to hook up to your protective mask, using the vehicle's filtration system while driving in a NBC environment. Love the HET and miss driving it.
The cable hanging down just behind you is to turn your bask seat in to a double sleeping bunk. After releasing the back rest, you pull it up to the cable and loop it around the bolt.
Good luck on your many adventures and keep it safe👍😎
Huge respect.😉
Epic experience.
@@Finne72 Thank you for giving me a reason to serve👍👍😀😀
Famous words of Matt’s off-road recovery …never unhook the trailer l!
I was thinking the same thing!
@@trailrunnah8886 Me too!
I have been mentally screaming this since they unhooked it
I was wondering why he didn't use a kinetic rope to start with - that might have helped pop it out easier, trailer included.
There are two schools of thought on off road recovery: relatively lightweight recovery vehicle that uses kinetic energy to "pop" a vehicle up and out trailer included - then the heavy way with an over-the-top Oshkosh recovery vehicle doing a very slow drag of the stuck vehicle and trailer separately. Given the size and stuckness of this RV the heavy way won today.
Hello Dave. I know you have helped Brent a lot up at Cerro Gordo with all your work and with the donation of the 5 ton truck. You note that the recovered vehicles are often worth no more than scrap. He rents a back hole every now and then to help with his construction. I suspect he could use a loader. You have recovered several. A used loader might not be worth much to a construction firm that uses them daily and works them hard - the recovered loader might not be too reliable. But for Brent, who would use them only occasionally, a used loader might be valuable. With his ability to attract volunteers, he could probably keep it running. Just a thought. It would also make a nice video! Best, stay safe, and good luck. MK Stenstrom
Watching adventures with you makes me laugh and smile every posting. Thanks for living your best life and sharing it.
Nothing much better in the afternoon then grown boys with big toys!
Y'all are fun to watch!
Jeez, dude... the rear jacks on that MH were still down (you can see it at 14:01 and 14:45) - no wonder you had a hard time pulling her loose! 😬 I'm surprised you didn't just break them off...
Heck yeah! Great save! Stuck no longer! Yet again you guys freed another one! Great job!
4 video’s in 4 days!? You cant get me more happy! Love the content and love what you guys do! Keep up the great work!!!
Scam
Now that green hulk truck is what I call the bulls eye sure bet, love 💕 dis truck, engine sound commands it's presence, great job heavy D sparks and family crew, blessed 🙏
Hey that’s my video at 19:46 as the *average people at knolls* 😂 glad my friends and I could indirectly contribute to the vlog 😂
You guys have so many cool toys for your rescues and recoveries! I really do envy y’all!
You guys are the best with the right and best equipment. I love watching you guys working. I am 74 years old and have seen a lot but you guys are the best!!!
I love seeing people put machines to work. Proving that they can look awesome AND still be used. Keep it up.
Just subed after seeing you guys helping Craig on his houseboat! Good work from the UK!👍🇬🇧
Great recovery. What a beast you have built. Matt has a long way to go for that title of worlds largest offroad wrecker because Brother your are rocking that title. Mean Mean green machine 👍
Awesome rig, and fantastic recovery... But... I have to ask, WHY was an RV out on that? That was begging to sink to the frame!
Looks like Walt & Jesse are cooking meth in their RV out in the desert! 😂
Matt’s recovery would have done that in half the time . Shots fired 😂😂
And he would've done it with The Moorvair !
And we would of got the weather
This is a different league and Matt would failed big time with his junk
@@sundancer3700 Calm down white knight. Pretty sure Matt has recovered several RV's (trailer still attached) with his junk that doesn't need a whole production crew and their diaper bags to pull out.
@@sundancer3700 He pulled out a bus that big with the banana before. I don't think he would fail on this job but yeah their leagues are different. This was way too easy for heavy d.
Such a relief to see you have a wife, I saw some episode recently where you described a friend as "Your partner" and the dinosaur in my head kicked in lol.
You guys are too crazy. Helping people and having fun. Love it. You guys are inspiring. Thank you.
Love the Het! You guys have taken the recovery game to the next level for sure! I don't think there's a land recovery crew in the United States that has the kind of varied recovery power you do.
Scammer.
Oshkosh.. m1070 build. Can see why you trailer in.. those at top speed is 45mph.. It's beautiful
Heavy D bringing the heat again. Great content.
When people see Dave Sparks pull in the parking lot they must say "Well someone had a oopsie. Grab the beer and let's go watch!"
Yea you have to have a realy big oopsie to nead giant heavy equipment to move it !
Another Great Day, Recovery went
Better than I expected
You are awesome 👌
Person Dave and Team
Have a Great Day
God Bless America 🇺🇸
Great recovery. That was a big long RV
If anything, I have learned from watching your videos, and Matt's Off Road Rescue, and TowMater, do not take RV's off the paved surfaces, and do not take trail rated vehicles into the back country. Wonder if he will take the RV and trailer off the prepared roads again? I will keep my answer to myself, haha
Another testimony as to why our US Military uses the Oshkosh M1070. I knew they were as good as pulled out of the sand as soon as I seen you getting the Oshkosh out for business. Nice work Heavy D.
After seeing RVs and other large vehicles stuck in these environments. Why do people choose to do it over and over again? Seems like a huge risk of being stuck and stranded. Better to leave RV on the road and take toys out? Iam not from the desert so I have no clue why you guys do it ha. Great job as always diesel Bros!
Yes it was a great recovery. And I agree. I’m not sure why someone would take a 2 Wheel drive motorhome that low to the ground with a trailer onto anything other than pavement. But we all make mistakes and at least he had a friend to come bail him out.
We got to see a tag team between y’all and Matt’s Off-road Recovery it would make an awesome collaboration especially now that they’re building something comparable to the HET
What morr are building is not nearly as big but way more offtoading than the het
Man what a beast
The team is awesome getting things unstuck.
God bless you all gentlemen.
A MORR (Matts off road recovery) and Sparks colab, is hella needed. Two top teir tuggers in the state.
Once MORR gets their heavy wrecker up and running that would be very cool. Matt does way more technical recoveries.
These two comments have finally explained to me why they named their Corvair the "Morrvair." Thank you.
Dave seeing him riding up in that bike with a tall boy while they're filming threw him off. 😂🤣🤣 He was like uhhhh ok what was I saying? 😂
And it’s probably 10AM.
Its a pepsi lmao
Yea pretty sure that was a Pepsi there bub
For the record I couldn't care any less they're out there with absolutely nobody around and just trying to help someone. It was just funny.
Dude knows how to make an entrance. Never seen a Pepsi so important to need to ride helmetless, 1-handed and drop your bike.
I enjoyed your video and the lack of made up drama of the other shows. I had driven a heavy recovery Pete rotator but mostly righting semis or flat hauling to a repair facility. But I appreciate your off road work as that's where I started out at pulling stuck 'buggies' out of swamps. That was with a 'homebuilt' truck . 71 Ford cab International travel all frame Dana 70 rear with Detroit locker and a 60 with same locker in front Chevy 350 with remote trans. All steel bed 3/8" on 20" wheels 9:00x20's all around and duals of course on the rears . we didn't have the flotation you do but had screwed tires to rims with onboard compressor when things got sandy also had chains if needed . gets pretty mucky in places here in Florida. But great videos and you have a new subscriber. Thanks again . We had a 'big' wrecker that we'd built to pull shrimp boat winches in off Siesta Kay that would hold its own but we'd chock and use the main winch for most recovery work. Pulled a FP&L Zelligson Derrick on it's frame almost two hundred yards until it had enough traction to pull on it'd own ten wheel drive ..brought back some good memories
Everything mobbing through the desert looked so epic! End of the world vibes lol
You almost made that look too easy. I love your recovery videos.
Scam
Hey y’all checking in from Deleware. I was wondering if now I am a retired registered nurse that worked in the ICU I know nothing about trucks or recovery, but, you know those ramps that you can drive your car or truck up on to look under the car, would you be able to put them up front of all the tires so when you’re pulling such a heavy vehicle it gets pulled up on the ramps? You could always build something similar to the ramps to account for them syncing. Just a thought
Matt recovery would tell you to never unhook the trailer. Good recovery.
Amateurs
My only thought on this recovery is (without knowing the load of that trailer) wouldn't it have been better for the trailer to lower it down so it was riding on both axles after it was out of the ruts?
I thought that too, then i realised it was surely empty, so if it can hold the weight of one of two side by sides it can probabli be pulled empty riding on one axle. Hope this helped, and excuse any error on my english (I' m form Spain).
I assume that trailer is the garage for one of the car, and the car unloaded
Heavy D's ability to drive anything is astonishing, dude is living every little kids dream of driving the biggest and baddest trucks.
Maverick must get giddy when they see you pulling in with your fleet, gassing everything up and clearing the snack shelves. 😛
man do i wish to have such a beautiful machine!
you guys are epic for what you do
3:04 OMG that combo ❤ the black and green 💪👌👍
show us the fuel pump next time I'm kinda curious what it cost to fill the convoy up
Have you heard about athletic greens?
@@_JamesBrown yes guaranteed to add 500hp +
Love getting the notifications . Thanks guys
Onlookers want to see you guys in action. How many can say that? You guys are good friends!!! Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all
the content is already amazing but the camera work and editing is absolutely top tier
love how you guys are slowly building your own military. Next episode buying an f22 raptor.
Dude I have been watching your shows all the way from Guyana. I totally love the ontarage and show of power, However there is one piece of equipment I think will outperform those. A Logging Skidder with a beast of a winch.
