Awesome! I’m 67 yrs old retired metal/iron worker/fabricator/certified welder mig tig and stick. I love to listen to lizzie mig weld! The heat and speed are spot on! You guys and gal rock! I enjoy all you videos!
I totally understand why you build your own rigs, cause you can, and you build better than factory !! Seriously, you put your equipment to maximum use and beyond, factory builds just are not going to last, and they will fail at the worst times. Love your stuff, and your crew !!
Glad to see you made it easier for Jamie to get in and out. You know, you really have to hand it to short people, they can't usually reach it anyway. Of course, when I mentioned that to my short better half, she looked up at me and said "God only lets you grow until you're perfect, obviously it took you a lot longer to reach perfection than it did me."
The single long camera walkthrough when everyone was doing different things was a really cool shot. Kept it in real time and more interesting than a couple jump cuts would. Good stuff! 31:14
Trailer builder here, I have a trick for you to get the grease caps on easy peasy every time. Use a Forstner drill bit in the same diameter as the caps, drill a pocket in the endgrain of a short chunk of 4x4 post, slide the cap into it (light friction fit is best), hold it against the face of the hub and smash with a hammer (claw hammer of course lol). It always seats the cap in one or two quick smacks without any dents or modifications. I’ve been using the same 4x4 chunk for ten plus years and have installed thousands of these caps without any trouble with it. Bombi is looking great, you guys rock!
I taught high school, community college, welding and metal shop for a total of 40 + years. During most of the summer breaks, would work as a traveling millwright. Really impressed about how you guys work together. Everyone has an input and their ideas are valued. Just hearing how Lizzy welds, her heat settings and travel speeds are super good. The only thing I would change would be that everyone must wear safety glasses while in the shop, working or just watching. Long sleeves when welding is a good safety precaution. Skin cancer is not what you want as an older person.
That and a respirator or at least tell Lizzy to stop sticking her face right on top of whatever she's working on. She's inhaling all that smoke each time she burns something in. I'm really hoping she knows not to do that with anything galvanized.
If you did have some sort of soft suspension on those bogies, it would allow the track to flex over dips and humps. This allows for much much better traction. Look at the way the older skidoos were built with bogies or tanks with bogies. That's why they are there. Cat has finally gone to bogies for its big cats for this very reason, much better traction. Great to see Ed in the shop and its always nice to see all of your crew in the videos, so thanks for that.
I agree, it would improve the traction, but with the bigger wheels i think they would collide with eachother when the track was flexing don't you think?
I agree and this makes sense! But they're expecting 12 feet of soft snow when using this thing. Hopefully it won't come across many dips and humps in the jobs that its intended for.
Lizzie is doing more than just welding. She is responsible for the safety of the people who are going to ride in it , and it's ability to tow other vehicles. It also shows how skilled she has become and the confidence Matt has in her ability. I have a niece that is also apprenticing as a welder. This entire crew is a pleasure to watch.
I've watched the morrvair get made, the banana get remodeled, and Ed's Suzuki. These videos are so much fun to watch as someone who tries to DIY their entire life. Fun to watch them be so good at what they were built to do too!
That hand holding while walking back into the shop - that's what it's about, man. The down to earth, family-centered content is a big part of what keeps me coming back to this channel over and over again. Keep on being awesome, Matt and crew.
I love these longer format shop videos. I was so bummed when Trevor and Skeeter moved on, but TomTom is such a great addition. Chanel is better than ever. I started my own recovery business from the influence of your channel
@@leejohnson229 It seems like Tucker disappeared before the Wrecker Games. Was it Eric that also used to be on the channel? He was a hoot on the Nugget recovery. The content seems the same, but with the crew always changing, and never any mention of where they went, I don't watch with as much enthusiasm.
I like how Matt gets Rhett and Lizzy involved, both mechanically (on their own) and in conversation!!......Also like the editing where there are two different scenes back and forth to keep things interesting!!
We are all SO GLAD you are finally doing the Bombi project (and series of videos) and doing it AS seriously, meticulously, well-engineered, upgraded and powerful as you did the Offroad Heavy Wrecker. We are so looking forward to seeing it become a BEAST of a winter snow, plus year-round sand, mud and shallow-water-capable recovery vehicle with LOTS of power, many HD tow/pulling points, maybe a couple of interchangeable hitches, front and back winches(?), a toolbox, etc. and a bunch of marker and flood lights for night use and a nice, comfy, roll-caged interior with cup holders, grab handles front and rear, a stereo, nav screen system, good heat and maybe even A/C...go big! (You are after all Matt's Off Road Recovery!) This was a fantastic video all around. EVERYONE in it is an ESSENTIAL part of what makes this channel what it is...the MORR Crew all ROCK and you each do it with character, your own style, lot's of problem-solving, a get it done attitude and a lot of fun mixed in. ;)
@@lockednotstock2smokingbarr719...yes...a working fuel guage also, for sure...DEFINITELY! (I'd bet Tom will INSIST on having one, he sure should, because right is right and being unprepared is just silly for a recovery/rescue company. ;)
Just looking over the fence there and noticed the VW bus. What a cool body that would be for the Bombi. It could be the Bombi-Bus or the Bombus.And it would hold more passengers. Great video as always. Thank you 😊
I wish he would use the Corvair FC Rampside cab. But it only has room for three passengers. We had one it was one of those lost opportunities in the automotive world. The rampside was so useful.
1 of the many things about Lizzie that's enjoyable to watch is she's got such an outgoing personality, but when it's time to work, the lady just gets after it!
Wasn't that long ago certain folks were up in arms about how the heavy wrecker wouldn't, shouldn't, can't. Seems to have worked out fine . Here we are again . Carry on MORR !!!
Matts ability to outhink and plan and know is always amazing. I didnt understand how the wrecker would work but im no engineer but was not surprised that it did work. Matt has an amazing creative brain. Also incredible at utilising each of his teams individual skills and in upskilling them. If all bosses were like matt then the world would be a far better place.
Just at the part where you mentioned it being a late summer, same thing here in the maritimes (east coast of Canada, I'm right on the water). But yeah we've had relentless rain every week since June started basically, and crazy high humidity. A couple days ago it was 24°C, but with the 94% humidity it was something like 34/35°C. Thank God we had a good breeze. Soon time for AC in our minihome lol. Buying the kids a small pool (our two boys are 8 and 2.5), so that should help out! I'm sure our new puppy will love it too! Rocky is a 35lb, 8 week old Saint Bernard/ Bernese Mountain Dog mix (parents were purebreds of either breed), and hes not liking this heat one bit! lol. Stay cool guys and girls, can't wait to see the bombi finished up, and thank you so much for continuing these detailed build videos. Lots of great ideas, tips, and tricks for the stuff I build as well. My last build was my 1998 Toyota Tercel, with the engine, suspension, transmission, transfer case, and axles out of a 1998 Toyota Rav4 we had in our junkyard. The suspension gave it roughly 3.5" of lift, and the 5 speed 2.0L is a blast to drive around the gravel pits. Pulled a few SXSs out already with it! Keep up the great work, always excited to see more on my days off! Thanks again everyone!
I'm enjoying watching this build come along and the usual teamwork/quality on display! Being a military history buff and observing how tanks started out with no suspension and went to torsion bar or other types of suspension, I hope the no suspension decision pans out. Looking at the way a British Mark 1 rolls across the terrain versus a Russian T-34, it's a pretty big difference in crew comfort and speed/ maneuverability. *crossing fingers for you*
Hey Matt it's not so much about suspension as it is traction. Over bumps and ridges the torsion bars did what they were supposed to do. Rounding the track over ridges and pushing down in the holes. Great content love everything you guys do.
Exactly. That 2-3 inch torsion bar range gives it the ability to form the wheels (and track) over the ground for contact. Without it, it’s just a plane. It’ll work for what they do.
You think Matt doesn't know that? Yes if the axles were still new and operational, but they weren't. They were so worn out that they were sitting on the stops, and one was even so worn that it was stuck on the bump stop and wouldn't move. The larger wheel and tire combination with the correct tire pressure will offer just as much support or MORE than the shot old axles did. This is one of those things that is just going to inevitably get proven inconsequential by Matt, add it to the list.
given they're going to a "standard" tire from a bombi style, I suspect there will be more give because of that. either way we'll see how it goes, or doesn't. personally I'd have gone with torsen axles as well, but it's not my rig, and i'm not building it, or driving it.
What a great crew! Everyone is doing something. When the camera was panning around, you were all doing separate things but all was for the team. AMAZING!!
Holy mackerel. This was your best video ever. Focused on fab with y'all highlighting the right information. And then getting to see it happen. With everyone engaged on different tasks at the same time. You just set the bar for every fabrication channel.
It’s good to see that Bombi is getting the upgrades. The LS1 is the standard power plant for your fleet and it makes sense to stick with what you know will work. Great content all around. Love seeing Ed, Lizzy as always and Jamie getting the step lift. That’s a great rig for her. A great bunch of smiling faces is a welcome sight these days.
Just some information for you. An "LS1" is a specific 5.7 liter Chevy V8 only used in a couple cars in the 90s/early 2000. It shares architecture with tons of gm engines used in all the trucks and performance cars for over a decade. They are all refered to as LS engines even though technically the truck engines are not. There are ls1,2,3,4,6,7, LSA (I THINK THATS IT). The truck engines are LQx Lm7 ECT. But many parts are interchangeable. There are no LS1 in the MORR fleet.
@@idwellinthehillslikegandhilsx is just a quick way to describe any LS based without a specific engine. The x is just a place holder . All caps LSX was never equipped in a production vehicle only gmpp crate engines.
Furthermore the 8.1 is NOT any of the ls platform. It is basically an old school 454 with more stroke and "vortec" fuel injection. Aside from specifics, I love we're all of this is going!
Kudos and props to the editors and videographers for MORR. You guys make this all look great and entertaining. HOWEVER........The little scenes you editors insert are usually on point and hilarious, but sometimes i wonder why you watched the movies you did to find these clips. Its high time YOU guys get the victory pie. Good job.
31:20 I’m loving the Guy Richie/Mathew Vaughn style camera work! Haha pretty epic! Bombie is coming along great, and it’s cool to see all hands on deck to give her a new life!
A story about my eye. I used to grind metal without eye protection. One time I got some steel in my eye. It did not come out for a day so I went to the hospital. They used a needle like device to remove it from my eye. Then cream and an eye patch for a day. Then a follow up to see how it was doing and remove the patch. They used a small "pencil grinder" to remove a rust ring around the crater the piece left behind!! From then on I use eye protection for all grinding, cutting, and any activity that could result in an eye injury!! Now you know!! 🙂
Yep. I normally wear safety glasses. I had one little touch up to grind and the glasses weren’t in reach. The pieces they dug out of each eye were microscopic, but I sure could feel them.
Exact same thing happened to me. I had to hold my eye open while the doctor did the grinding with his dremel. I went out and bought swim goggles just to make sure it didn't happen again that's how bad it was. I thought I was gonna loose my eye.
Thinking about your comments earlier about the proprietary drive tires for the tracks and problems you've had with them. Here in Texas we have lots of thorns. Honey locust thorns can be over 2" long and can easily puncture most tires. Some of the tire shops that deal with ag equipment have a foam that I use in my tractor front tires. It sets up pretty rigid and lasts until the tire wears out. My small John Deere has 5.00x15 fronts, it adds about 50# of weight and costs over $100 per tire, but the added weight is actually an advantage for a farm tractor. The ride is certainly a little stiffer but again, not an issue for a farm tractor. In my experience, when the tires get worn, they start delaminating. I assume that perhaps the foam wears and allows some unsupported flexing between the foam and the tire, which causes the tread separation, but It's worth every cent because I've not had this problem until after about 15 years, and until then, no flats or problems to deal with. I realize that the added weight is not advantageous for your situation, but it might be a lower cost solution for the Bombi.
Hey Matt fromNorthern Ontario Canada. A friend has a Corvair ragtop exactly the same colour as yoir Lakewood Wagon. You your swewt wife make a great couple. We dont see many difficult times. After nearly 62 years Marriex we are struggeling to keep things together. Thinking a heart attack and double bypass for me and a mild stroke for her were wedges that are spliltting us apart. Keep the Lakewood as original as you can. It is a fun ride as is. Lights and a few other things need TLC . but she shure looks sweet. Wish I had her here. Love you guys one and all. Lizzy you are a trooper. Roping steers all weeken and chipper as all get oit Monday morning. Oh where did your green welsers helmet go hon? It was so unique. Ed, someday im coming s to pan for gold with you. At 82 i probably cant keep up but ill try. 4 sure. All the very best to each one. From a Canadian fan. yggeling
I love it when Jake and Rhett is joining the team! They're always great fun to see and hear!! You all know we love Matt and Lizzy, so that goes without saying! Thanks a lot for sharing an brighten up a sunday here in Norway!! Oh, BTW, can I have that old engine out of Bombi? You'll need to ship it to Norway though....😁😆
One of the wonderful things about this interesting crew is that a movie producer could never order any of these characters from ‘Central Casting’. All are unique and honest to the core. Thanks for being ‘Real’. We old folks at home really like that.
Damn right. Matt has always called him his watchdog on other fora. You try to steal from that compound in the middle of the night (tool thieves are world wide), and the last thing you will hear, other than a couple of barking dogs is a 12 gauge being racked. Or some USA weapon we Aussies know little about. Nice to see Ed up and about. Hope he gets to go find a big nugget again this year.
I love the "engineering" that you guys do on these projects. Matts ability to picture something in his mind, and then make it come to life thru everyones hands is awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Its so cool seeing Ret involved in the projects .... and all the rest of the crew ... Lizzy adds so much to the balance ... luv' it when you were explaining the water in the petrol tank theory 😊
31:16 Teamwork! Love this shot of everyone working on their part to make the dream work! Great video, I didn’t even realize how long it was because I was loving every moment! Thank you MORR!!
That's probably because he's not a mechanical engineer LOL if he was then that would might hold true not being able to wrench if I remember right in that one video he said he has a master's degree in chemical engineering and at some point got another degree in nuclear engineering
Matt “ I don’t know how much gas I have." Lizzie ” Let’s make sure we have everything we need before we get started.” Diversity, That's why we love you guys so much!!
To anyone asking why don’t you just buy a new Bombi. Yeah that’ll be a pretty great video. Three minutes of Matt going and buying a Bombi and bringing it home. 🙄 keep up the great work and content we love it.
At @ 32:00, I see the mistake most engineers make... that mechanics don't make. "I'm never going to have to repair this machine." When one of your custom axles fails, instead of bolting a new one on, you have to turn the machine upside down to grind off the failed axle and weld a new one on.
The Bombie is going to be awesome it might rank number two behind the Banana as my favorite when its done , and I love how all the recovery guys and gals support one another and yes BSF will always be at the top , the originator of RUclips off road recoveries . O yeah and its great seeing Ed around some again and thank you guys for taking the youth group out God bless you all .
love the bombi build, we cant get enough of builds. i know this sorta poses as a constant challenge to yall. did i miss a story about the rental jeep? why is it called a rental? was it a rental that was purchased?
Matt, you need to keep the suspension on the axles for small deviation in the terrain. if the axle is solid when the track goes into a devote and your turning at the same time there is potential for the track to ride off the tire. More than likely the tire guide in the middle of the track will try to ride onto the middle of the tire causing many problems. Just something to think about.
Good to see Rhett on “fire watch” while you’re welding. That is actually a job in refineries and such, as guys are welding in confined spaces, with a high quantity of welding to get done, and an equal probability of causing a fire, so people are hired with the sole responsibility to sound the fire alarm and get everyone out, if there’s a fire.
love watching everything you guys do,recoveries,mods,builds and community volunteering. dont know if you guys know or care but Bombardier used to make a snow machine called a Bombi,used to drive one at work along with a bigger machine called a Go Track.keep it up!!!
44:20 back when we were first married we got down to only two vehicles .. and my wife had to drive the monster truck to work! :) 20" A 1978 GMS Step Sid wit 42" tll tires off an 18 wheeler (I literally made the rims by welding 1/2" plate steel in the middles of 20" Split rims . She was 5' 2" tall and 125 pounds .. She had to climb up the rear tire, walk along the running board to the cab :)
Pretty sure you need the suspension, not for bump relief, but to allow the track to flex into depressions and around obstacles. It should be riding in the bump stops; the articulation is just to help it contour around things. I hope you figure that out before you finalize it. Good luck! Love you guys, and was thrilled to visit when I happened to be in Hurricane last year (though no one was there, LOL!)
Love watching y’all doing these builds. This has got to be the most unique fleet of recovery vehicles ever assembled. Someday manufacturers will study your rigs for ideas.
8:30 Matt: So did you gals all have a good time? Youth group: YEEEAAAAHHHHHHH!!! Jamie: And it's hearing a happy joyful response like THAT --- and seeing all those sunny grateful smiles --- which makes all the effort of planning and carrying out a field trip like this ALLLLLL WORTH IT!!! :D :D
I have those step sliders on my Gladiator and have beat on them hard here in AZ and they work amazing. Had a small issue early on as I got in at the start of the Gen 3. Talked to RockSlide Techs and they immediately sent a replacement and paid for EVERYTHING including return shipping to break it down, figure out what happened and fix any possible problem. Their Customer Service is Amazing!!!!
Nice bonus length "Killa' Bombee" fabrication episode! I enjoy seeing everyone working together to get stuff done like that. Going to be a huge transformation once completed!
For future reference, you can order custom axles from Dexter, camber axles or straight axles, any width, without spring perches, with spring perches, any size, square tube or round tube, etc etc.. That being said… RETORQUE THE HUBS!!!! I haven’t seen a properly set wheel seal/wheel bearing/hub come from their factory (at least the factories in the SE) ever since COVID had them cycling through employees. 😬
I think Matt needs to buy Tom an arc droid! Also make sure to brace those axles. I would probably take 2”-3” flat bar and weld them from axle tube to the body at about a 45 degree angle. The torque on those with the drop spindles is going to be alot. Great job guys! 🇨🇦
@@DrTheRich IF the terrain is smooth or gently undulating THEN you are correct. BUT if the tracks are going over objects that have a diameter that will partially fill the gap between bogies.... they will remove an axel when it's least convenient!
Taking some time off the shop and recoveries to give kids a chance to experience off-roading and see by themselves what it really is all that while having fun and watch such beautliful landscape. I like that! Would be nice to see one of those girls have her own off-roading YT channel in the near future!
49:10 I'm a bit of both when it comes to builds. A machine like the bomby is meant to be built for rough service and be easy to maintain. The Ford flat head was a common work horse in it's day, that was easy to get parts for and maintain. So LS is a great option for replacement. Classic cars are where I can go to either side. If you have a numbers matching 67 Vette for example, restore that thing as best you can. But if that same Vette has a rod throwing chunks through the block, build it however you want because the original parts are destroyed.
Morning Matt & fam! Thanks for the inspiration to come visit Hurricane and the surrounding area. Been watching your videos for a year now, and made a 2 week adventure with wheelin and mountain biking all over the area. It was an amazing time and thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us!
It is so enjoyable to watch how yall work together. Matt you and Tom Tom amazed me how yall were calling out measurements and both of you were right there with each other. Great video Lizzy is a working person thats welding is amazing.
Love love love seeing y’all giving the cat the love it deserves. Very likely the most versatile unit in your fleet, it deserves to be as functional, and just flat out “cool”, as the other vehicles. 😁
You definitely want some type of movement on the idler wheels. For the purpose of traction. Makes huge difference. A bogie system is a easy way. If you don't want suspension. More idler wheels are also better for traction. Next level could be a combination of a bogie with inside and outside facing wheels you can have overlapping tires. Flat bottom is also a must for snow and mud.
Fabulous day with Lizzie and Rhett doing a two-hander in the shop; the skills and the trust keep growing! Who remembers when Matt was tutoring Lizzie as she learned to weld; now he turns his back and does other stuff while she just goes for it!?
This build is getting interesting. Along with the increased ride height, make the cab bigger with doors for everyone. Swinging front doors and sliding rear doors on each side for better ingress/egress (no matter how the machine gets itself oriented) and, if your gonna run it in the heat, those sliders can be left open to offer some ventilation. Move the fuel tank (or at least the fill opening) outside the cab. And with all those axles to keep lubed, maybe some “bearing buddies” to replace those press- fit caps. 🫡
A lot of work going into that machine. Just one thing, in all my years in the Heavy Equipment Industry, I would think that each track would need it's own adjuster like a dozer. But it may work the way you are are doing it.
Thank You for sharing the many years of work in progress, Your shared life experiences have really added enjoyment, and lots of peaceful entertainment while accomplishing tasks, whilst the crew is always remaining calm.
I fabricated and put together drilling rigs/generators/trailers in the 90's. Some of these "know it all" comments are ridiculous. There are so many ways to skin a cat when fabricating. I really enjoy watching your purpose built projects. This is a very clever and well thought out project. Of course you will run into a few hurdles as you go along. This goes with the territory. Thank you for sharing.
All of you work so well together. So fun to watch you work (or is that "play"?) together. Everyone should have this much fun at work. You guys are geniuses.
I love that all of you made a video that was almost an hour long. I enjoyed every moment of it. I hope we get more videos in depth like this one Matt you and your crew are awesome. Keep up the great work. Look forward to your next video. 😊
Man, the work done in this episode was awesome!! Really firing on all cylinders! A sweet symphony of grinding, welding, hammering, tape measures retracting etc.. beautiful 😊
Is that swimming hole outside St George? If so I know exactly where it is. The fam and I did that swim spot on our vacation there several years ago. It was the highlight of the trip! Amazing place! Ya drive through the desert until ya think you are on the wrong trail then this oasis pops up outa nowhere. Great times there!
@@Whateverpoopiepants Far from an expert, but the wheels on the ends are far more crucial, maybe they will have the ends at higher pressure to keep the tracks in place and the middles a bit lower.
Can't wait to see the resurrected Bombi! What you have done so far looks great and I applaud your ingenuity as a team. Keep up the great work and great video.
I wonder how that Kombi body (in the next yard at about 18:35) would look on the "Bombi"? Plenty of room for crew and gear, (and Peanut) and a cool retro look. Would also suit the forward control set-up. The "Kombi Bombi"!😅😅

Trailer builder here, I have a trick for you to get the grease caps on easy peasy every time. Use a Forstner drill bit in the same diameter as the caps, drill a pocket in the endgrain of a short chunk of 4x4 post, slide the cap into it (light friction fit is best), hold it against the face of the hub and smash with a hammer (claw hammer of course lol).

We are so looking forward to seeing it become a BEAST of a winter snow, plus year-round sand, mud and shallow-water-capable recovery vehicle with LOTS of power, many HD tow/pulling points, maybe a couple of interchangeable hitches, front and back winches(?), a toolbox, etc. and a bunch of marker and flood lights for night use and a nice, comfy, roll-caged interior with cup holders, grab handles front and rear, a stereo, nav screen system, good heat and maybe even A/C...go big! (You are after all Matt's Off Road Recovery!) This was a fantastic video all around. EVERYONE in it is an ESSENTIAL part of what makes this channel what it is...the MORR Crew all ROCK and you each do it with character, your own style, lot's of problem-solving, a get it done attitude and a lot of fun mixed in. ;)
and a fuel gauge that works!!!
@@lockednotstock2smokingbarr719...yes...a working fuel guage also, for sure...DEFINITELY! (I'd bet Tom will INSIST on having one, he sure should, because right is right and being unprepared is just silly for a recovery/rescue company. ;)
Just looking over the fence there and noticed the VW bus. What a cool body that would be for the Bombi. It could be the Bombi-Bus or the Bombus.And it would hold more passengers. Great video as always. Thank you 😊
Dam that is a great idea...... Hope he sees your comment
Ooooh that would be cool!
I wish he would use the Corvair FC Rampside cab. But it only has room for three passengers. We had one it was one of those lost opportunities in the automotive world. The rampside was so useful.
Some parts of the world call the VW bus a Kombi, so it could be a Kombi-Bombi!
1 of the many things about Lizzie that's enjoyable to watch is she's got such an outgoing personality, but when it's time to work, the lady just gets after it!
She sure has proven herself. 🇺🇸
Wasn't that long ago certain folks were up in arms about how the heavy wrecker wouldn't, shouldn't, can't. Seems to have worked out fine . Here we are again . Carry on MORR !!!
Matts ability to outhink and plan and know is always amazing. I didnt understand how the wrecker would work but im no engineer but was not surprised that it did work. Matt has an amazing creative brain. Also incredible at utilising each of his teams individual skills and in upskilling them. If all bosses were like matt then the world would be a far better place.
Just at the part where you mentioned it being a late summer, same thing here in the maritimes (east coast of Canada, I'm right on the water). But yeah we've had relentless rain every week since June started basically, and crazy high humidity. A couple days ago it was 24°C, but with the 94% humidity it was something like 34/35°C. Thank God we had a good breeze. Soon time for AC in our minihome lol.
Buying the kids a small pool (our two boys are 8 and 2.5), so that should help out! I'm sure our new puppy will love it too! Rocky is a 35lb, 8 week old Saint Bernard/ Bernese Mountain Dog mix (parents were purebreds of either breed), and hes not liking this heat one bit! lol.
Stay cool guys and girls, can't wait to see the bombi finished up, and thank you so much for continuing these detailed build videos. Lots of great ideas, tips, and tricks for the stuff I build as well.
My last build was my 1998 Toyota Tercel, with the engine, suspension, transmission, transfer case, and axles out of a 1998 Toyota Rav4 we had in our junkyard. The suspension gave it roughly 3.5" of lift, and the 5 speed 2.0L is a blast to drive around the gravel pits. Pulled a few SXSs out already with it!
Keep up the great work, always excited to see more on my days off! Thanks again everyone!
I'm enjoying watching this build come along and the usual teamwork/quality on display! Being a military history buff and observing how tanks started out with no suspension and went to torsion bar or other types of suspension, I hope the no suspension decision pans out. Looking at the way a British Mark 1 rolls across the terrain versus a Russian T-34, it's a pretty big difference in crew comfort and speed/ maneuverability. *crossing fingers for you*
I liked seeing Matt & Jaime holding hands as they were walking back into the shop .
Awesome
😊 my wife said the same thing

Little things that show how you feel.
I HOLD MY WIFES CLAW
I love the dynamic of this team. Everyone tries, everyone helps and everyone is appreciated. You folks rock!
Hey Matt it's not so much about suspension as it is traction. Over bumps and ridges the torsion bars did what they were supposed to do. Rounding the track over ridges and pushing down in the holes. Great content love everything you guys do.
I was just about to say the same thing. The spring they provide, pushes the track into voids on the terrain to give you full contact.
Exactly. That 2-3 inch torsion bar range gives it the ability to form the wheels (and track) over the ground for contact. Without it, it’s just a plane. It’ll work for what they do.
I think too we need to remember doing the work they do, simpler is better. Ultimately, if it doesn't work, he'll rebuild it another way.
You think Matt doesn't know that? Yes if the axles were still new and operational, but they weren't. They were so worn out that they were sitting on the stops, and one was even so worn that it was stuck on the bump stop and wouldn't move. The larger wheel and tire combination with the correct tire pressure will offer just as much support or MORE than the shot old axles did. This is one of those things that is just going to inevitably get proven inconsequential by Matt, add it to the list.
given they're going to a "standard" tire from a bombi style, I suspect there will be more give because of that. either way we'll see how it goes, or doesn't.
personally I'd have gone with torsen axles as well, but it's not my rig, and i'm not building it, or driving it.
What a great crew! Everyone is doing something. When the camera was panning around, you were all doing separate things but all was for the team. AMAZING!!
Holy mackerel. This was your best video ever. Focused on fab with y'all highlighting the right information. And then getting to see it happen. With everyone engaged on different tasks at the same time. You just set the bar for every fabrication channel.
It’s good to see that Bombi is getting the upgrades. The LS1 is the standard power plant for your fleet and it makes sense to stick with what you know will work.
Great content all around. Love seeing Ed, Lizzy as always and Jamie getting the step lift. That’s a great rig for her. A great bunch of smiling faces is a welcome sight these days.
Just some information for you. An "LS1" is a specific 5.7 liter Chevy V8 only used in a couple cars in the 90s/early 2000. It shares architecture with tons of gm engines used in all the trucks and performance cars for over a decade. They are all refered to as LS engines even though technically the truck engines are not. There are ls1,2,3,4,6,7, LSA (I THINK THATS IT). The truck engines are LQx Lm7 ECT. But many parts are interchangeable. There are no LS1 in the MORR fleet.
@@jasonbirch1182 you forgot lsx
@@idwellinthehillslikegandhilsx is just a quick way to describe any LS based without a specific engine. The x is just a place holder . All caps LSX was never equipped in a production vehicle only gmpp crate engines.
Furthermore the 8.1 is NOT any of the ls platform. It is basically an old school 454 with more stroke and "vortec" fuel injection.
Aside from specifics, I love we're all of this is going!
@@idwellinthehillslikegandhi that's an aftermarket block not an engine.
Kudos and props to the editors and videographers for MORR. You guys make this all look great and entertaining. HOWEVER........The little scenes you editors insert are usually on point and hilarious, but sometimes i wonder why you watched the movies you did to find these clips. Its high time YOU guys get the victory pie. Good job.
It's great to see Ed keep an eagle eye on all the working at the shop and smiles his approval
I just love Ed , I hope I’m kicking around as good as him when I’m that young.
Just yesterday I was wondering how he was doing, glad to see him!!
The Grand Old Man Of MORR. 😎👍
😅😊😊
31:20 I’m loving the Guy Richie/Mathew Vaughn style camera work! Haha pretty epic!
Bombie is coming along great, and it’s cool to see all hands on deck to give her a new life!
I always thought it was weird how Matt would always wear his bathing suit around the shop and on recoveries but now it all makes sense.
😂😂😂🎉
No those are his pajamas, I always thought it was weird he would wear his pajama when swimming and in the shop and on recoveries.
I think skysteiner deserves a t-shirt for that comment. Let's be honest
Now that is funny!
At least he wasn't in his birthday suit..
A story about my eye. I used to grind metal without eye protection. One time I got some steel in my eye. It did not come out for a day so I went to the hospital. They used a needle like device to remove it from my eye. Then cream and an eye patch for a day. Then a follow up to see how it was doing and remove the patch. They used a small "pencil grinder" to remove a rust ring around the crater the piece left behind!! From then on I use eye protection for all grinding, cutting, and any activity that could result in an eye injury!! Now you know!! 🙂
I also cringe every time I see someone grinding without glasses.
Some people are lucky and some have to learn it the hard way. Ask me how I know.
Yep. I normally wear safety glasses. I had one little touch up to grind and the glasses weren’t in reach. The pieces they dug out of each eye were microscopic, but I sure could feel them.
Exact same thing happened to me. I had to hold my eye open while the doctor did the grinding with his dremel. I went out and bought swim goggles just to make sure it didn't happen again that's how bad it was.
I thought I was gonna loose my eye.
Been there done that, not anymore.
Thinking about your comments earlier about the proprietary drive tires for the tracks and problems you've had with them. Here in Texas we have lots of thorns. Honey locust thorns can be over 2" long and can easily puncture most tires. Some of the tire shops that deal with ag equipment have a foam that I use in my tractor front tires. It sets up pretty rigid and lasts until the tire wears out. My small John Deere has 5.00x15 fronts, it adds about 50# of weight and costs over $100 per tire, but the added weight is actually an advantage for a farm tractor. The ride is certainly a little stiffer but again, not an issue for a farm tractor. In my experience, when the tires get worn, they start delaminating. I assume that perhaps the foam wears and allows some unsupported flexing between the foam and the tire, which causes the tread separation, but It's worth every cent because I've not had this problem until after about 15 years, and until then, no flats or problems to deal with. I realize that the added weight is not advantageous for your situation, but it might be a lower cost solution for the Bombi.
that shot at 31:19 was awesome so cool to see everyone working as a team around the shop
Hey Matt fromNorthern Ontario Canada.
A friend has a Corvair ragtop exactly the same colour as yoir Lakewood Wagon.
You your swewt wife make a great couple. We dont see many difficult times. After nearly 62 years Marriex we are struggeling to keep things together. Thinking a heart attack and double bypass for me and a mild stroke for her were wedges that are spliltting us apart. Keep the Lakewood as original as you can. It is a fun ride as is. Lights and a few other things need TLC . but she shure looks sweet. Wish I had her here.
Love you guys one and all. Lizzy you are a trooper. Roping steers all weeken and chipper as all get oit Monday morning. Oh where did your green welsers helmet go hon? It was so unique.
Ed, someday im coming s to pan for gold with you.
At 82 i probably cant keep up but ill try. 4 sure.
All the very best to each one. From a Canadian fan.

I love it when Jake and Rhett is joining the team! They're always great fun to see and hear!! You all know we love Matt and Lizzy, so that goes without saying! Thanks a lot for sharing an brighten up a sunday here in Norway!! Oh, BTW, can I have that old engine out of Bombi? You'll need to ship it to Norway though....😁😆
One of the wonderful things about this interesting crew is that a movie producer could never order any of these characters from ‘Central Casting’. All are unique and honest to the core. Thanks for being ‘Real’. We old folks at home really like that.
Look at Ed. He can sit back and relax and do nothing, but he’s in there with a broom helping out!
Damn right. Matt has always called him his watchdog on other fora. You try to steal from that compound in the middle of the night (tool thieves are world wide), and the last thing you will hear, other than a couple of barking dogs is a 12 gauge being racked. Or some USA weapon we Aussies know little about. Nice to see Ed up and about. Hope he gets to go find a big nugget again this year.
It's called work ethic. Something kids nowadays know nothing about.
I love the "engineering" that you guys do on these projects. Matts ability to picture something in his mind, and then make it come to life thru everyones hands is awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Its so cool seeing Ret involved in the projects .... and all the rest of the crew ... Lizzy adds so much to the balance ... luv' it when you were explaining the water in the petrol tank theory 😊
31:16 Teamwork! Love this shot of everyone working on their part to make the dream work! Great video, I didn’t even realize how long it was because I was loving every moment! Thank you MORR!!
Ohhh, I didn’t notice the length until I read your comment. So THAT’s why I kept pausing it to do other stuff… 💁🏻♀️😆
Tom is so knowledgeable, he's way of explaining is simple but precise. I wish he had his own channel
He is an engineer, it's not too surprising. ha. What is surprising is that he isn't an engineer that can't wrench.
That's probably because he's not a mechanical engineer LOL if he was then that would might hold true not being able to wrench if I remember right in that one video he said he has a master's degree in chemical engineering and at some point got another degree in nuclear engineering
Matt “ I don’t know how much gas I have."
Lizzie ” Let’s make sure we have everything we need before we get started.”
Diversity, That's why we love you guys so much!!
Instead of using bearing caps. Try out some bearing buddies they press in just like those caps but have a grease zerk
Nobody- "Prep".
Matt- "Isn't that a college kid who wears the collar up on their Polo shirt?"
need to keep the viewers interested by adding drama, wrangling, etc...
A little diversity never scared me either!
To anyone asking why don’t you just buy a new Bombi. Yeah that’ll be a pretty great video. Three minutes of Matt going and buying a Bombi and bringing it home.
🙄
keep up the great work and content we love it.
At @ 32:00, I see the mistake most engineers make... that mechanics don't make. "I'm never going to have to repair this machine." When one of your custom axles fails, instead of bolting a new one on, you have to turn the machine upside down to grind off the failed axle and weld a new one on.
The Bombie is going to be awesome it might rank number two behind the Banana as my favorite when its done , and I love how all the recovery guys and gals support one another and yes BSF will always be at the top , the originator of RUclips off road recoveries . O yeah and its great seeing Ed around some again and thank you guys for taking the youth group out God bless you all .
The Robbie Layton Whiskers is the Alph Snow Cat
love the bombi build, we cant get enough of builds. i know this sorta poses as a constant challenge to yall. did i miss a story about the rental jeep? why is it called a rental? was it a rental that was purchased?
Look at those guns on Lizzy! I love to see a woman like her in this industry, awesome always impressed me with her skills. Matt taught her well.
Lizzy should remake that WWII poster "We Can Do It!"
Yep, Lizzie is a perfect descendent of Rosie The Riveter of WWII fame. She's advancing her skills nicely.
From San Diego always watching your videos 👍
Nice to see a little kickback chit-chat, was enjoyable. Great to see the crew, as well as "shorty" and Lizzie!
Matt, you need to keep the suspension on the axles for small deviation in the terrain. if the axle is solid when the track goes into a devote and your turning at the same time there is potential for the track to ride off the tire. More than likely the tire guide in the middle of the track will try to ride onto the middle of the tire causing many problems. Just something to think about.
I was thinking along those same lines too
Good to see Rhett on “fire watch” while you’re welding. That is actually a job in refineries and such, as guys are welding in confined spaces, with a high quantity of welding to get done, and an equal probability of causing a fire, so people are hired with the sole responsibility to sound the fire alarm and get everyone out, if there’s a fire.
It's awesome to hear you're helping a youth group! God has clearly blessed y'all!!
Nothing like indoctrinating children into your cult 🥴
love watching everything you guys do,recoveries,mods,builds and community volunteering. dont know if you guys know or care but Bombardier used to make a snow machine called a Bombi,used to drive one at work along with a bigger machine called a Go Track.keep it up!!!
44:20 back when we were first married we got down to only two vehicles .. and my wife had to drive the monster truck to work! :)
20"
A 1978 GMS Step Sid wit 42" tll tires off an 18 wheeler (I literally made the rims by welding 1/2" plate steel in the middles of 20" Split rims .
She was 5' 2" tall and 125 pounds .. She had to climb up the rear tire, walk along the running board to the cab :)
Pretty sure you need the suspension, not for bump relief, but to allow the track to flex into depressions and around obstacles.
It should be riding in the bump stops; the articulation is just to help it contour around things.
I hope you figure that out before you finalize it.
Good luck! Love you guys, and was thrilled to visit when I happened to be in Hurricane last year (though no one was there, LOL!)
THIS!
Love watching y’all doing these builds. This has got to be the most unique fleet of recovery vehicles ever assembled. Someday manufacturers will study your rigs for ideas.
Can you explain to me what the scatter bar thing is by chance please and thank you!
suspension makes it hug the surface i reckon. its not for bumps but for traction
8:30 Matt: So did you gals all have a good time?
Youth group: YEEEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Jamie: And it's hearing a happy joyful response like THAT --- and seeing all those sunny grateful smiles --- which makes all the effort of planning and carrying out a field trip like this ALLLLLL WORTH IT!!! :D :D
I have those step sliders on my Gladiator and have beat on them hard here in AZ and they work amazing. Had a small issue early on as I got in at the start of the Gen 3. Talked to RockSlide Techs and they immediately sent a replacement and paid for EVERYTHING including return shipping to break it down, figure out what happened and fix any possible problem. Their Customer Service is Amazing!!!!
Nice bonus length "Killa' Bombee" fabrication episode! I enjoy seeing everyone working together to get stuff done like that. Going to be a huge transformation once completed!
For future reference, you can order custom axles from Dexter, camber axles or straight axles, any width, without spring perches, with spring perches, any size, square tube or round tube, etc etc.. That being said… RETORQUE THE HUBS!!!! I haven’t seen a properly set wheel seal/wheel bearing/hub come from their factory (at least the factories in the SE) ever since COVID had them cycling through employees. 😬
I think Matt needs to buy Tom an arc droid! Also make sure to brace those axles. I would probably take 2”-3” flat bar and weld them from axle tube to the body at about a 45 degree angle. The torque on those with the drop spindles is going to be alot. Great job guys! 🇨🇦
It has 4 axles and tracks tho, pressure is going to be spread out of all axles
@@DrTheRich IF the terrain is smooth or gently undulating THEN you are correct. BUT if the tracks are going over objects that have a diameter that will partially fill the gap between bogies.... they will remove an axel when it's least convenient!
@@igenr8stuff they are not going to be rock crawling with the Bombie tho
@@DrTheRich I wouldn't put it past them!
Taking some time off the shop and recoveries to give kids a chance to experience off-roading and see by themselves what it really is all that while having fun and watch such beautliful landscape. I like that! Would be nice to see one of those girls have her own off-roading YT channel in the near future!
49:10
I'm a bit of both when it comes to builds. A machine like the bomby is meant to be built for rough service and be easy to maintain. The Ford flat head was a common work horse in it's day, that was easy to get parts for and maintain. So LS is a great option for replacement.
Classic cars are where I can go to either side. If you have a numbers matching 67 Vette for example, restore that thing as best you can. But if that same Vette has a rod throwing chunks through the block, build it however you want because the original parts are destroyed.
Morning Matt & fam! Thanks for the inspiration to come visit Hurricane and the surrounding area. Been watching your videos for a year now, and made a 2 week adventure with wheelin and mountain biking all over the area. It was an amazing time and thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us!
Coming from Tucson AZ btw!
There is never a lack of projects to get done. I can’t wait to see how the Bobbi turns out 🎉🎉🎉. Keep it up MORR!!!
It is so enjoyable to watch how yall work together. Matt you and Tom Tom amazed me how yall were calling out measurements and both of you were right there with each other. Great video Lizzy is a working person thats welding is amazing.
Love love love seeing y’all giving the cat the love it deserves. Very likely the most versatile unit in your fleet, it deserves to be as functional, and just flat out “cool”, as the other vehicles. 😁
It's so great to see that Matt's still holding Jamie's hand after coming back from Youth touring
Yeah I noticed that as well I thought the same thing
@@leonardvaughn9904Yeah man. I haven't seen beautiful thing like that these days :). I really admire their love for each other.
You definitely want some type of movement on the idler wheels. For the purpose of traction. Makes huge difference. A bogie system is a easy way. If you don't want suspension.
More idler wheels are also better for traction. Next level could be a combination of a bogie with inside and outside facing wheels you can have overlapping tires.
Flat bottom is also a must for snow and mud.
You need suspension in the bogie wheels to help keep the tracks preloaded. That helps keep the track from kicking off.
Matt and his wife holding hands after all those years is great.. loves you guys 👍👍
I noticed that to. Can fake love. That’s why the channel is so good
Love the video, so awesome of Matt and Jamie to take the young women out for a Utah adventure.
Fabulous day with Lizzie and Rhett doing a two-hander in the shop; the skills and the trust keep growing!
Who remembers when Matt was tutoring Lizzie as she learned to weld; now he turns his back and does other stuff while she just goes for it!?
This build is getting interesting. Along with the increased ride height, make the cab bigger with doors for everyone. Swinging front doors and sliding rear doors on each side for better ingress/egress (no matter how the machine gets itself oriented) and, if your gonna run it in the heat, those sliders can be left open to offer some ventilation. Move the fuel tank (or at least the fill opening) outside the cab. And with all those axles to keep lubed, maybe some “bearing buddies” to replace those press- fit caps. 🫡
It SO CUTE that you guys still hold hands while your walking together!
Love your channel. Please be safe. Remind your crew to use safety glasses
I don't think there was a better addition to your team than Tom. I did laugh when the engineer asked how you were going to clock the hubs though.
Lizzie really has come a long way. Her welding is better then some of the others. Bombi looks good so far and i can not wait for more updates.
These are my favorite videos!! Love the recoveries too, but love to watch y’all improve the equipment
A lot of work going into that machine. Just one thing, in all my years in the Heavy Equipment Industry, I would think that each track would need it's own adjuster like a dozer. But it may work the way you are are doing it.
Matt, the torshion axles help the idler wheels stay in contact with the rack when going over rough terain. 🥴
Yea any slack will cause the track to jump the rack. They need something to put tension on the track.
Glad you brought TomTom on here full time , he is such an asset to your very talented crew!
Where is Tom Tom
Great to see the Bombi getting a huge overhaul and upgrade! Well done crew 🇦🇺
I enjoyed watching the Bombee strutting it's stuff last winter. Gonna be an awesome little worker bee this next winter! 😎👍
Thank You for sharing the many years of work in progress, Your shared life experiences have really added enjoyment, and lots of peaceful entertainment while accomplishing tasks, whilst the crew is always remaining calm.
Good to see Ed!
Glad Lizzie is able to stick around on the channel.
Nice modding. I have always felt the most confidence squaring things off by equaling the diagonal measurements.
I fabricated and put together drilling rigs/generators/trailers in the 90's. Some of these "know it all" comments are ridiculous. There are so many ways to skin a cat when fabricating. I really enjoy watching your purpose built projects. This is a very clever and well thought out project. Of course you will run into a few hurdles as you go along. This goes with the territory. Thank you for sharing.
All of you work so well together. So fun to watch you work (or is that "play"?) together. Everyone should have this much fun at work. You guys are geniuses.
I love that all of you made a video that was almost an hour long. I enjoyed every moment of it. I hope we get more videos in depth like this one Matt you and your crew are awesome. Keep up the great work. Look forward to your next video. 😊
such a euphoric episode whenever matt and tom work on a huge project together
Man, the work done in this episode was awesome!! Really firing on all cylinders! A sweet symphony of grinding, welding, hammering, tape measures retracting etc.. beautiful 😊
Well said
Yes, yes! This shop was running like a well oiled machine and they did not run out of gas. (must have filled the tank at Maverick b4 starting out)
Is that swimming hole outside St George? If so I know exactly where it is. The fam and I did that swim spot on our vacation there several years ago. It was the highlight of the trip! Amazing place! Ya drive through the desert until ya think you are on the wrong trail then this oasis pops up outa nowhere. Great times there!
Again you are making something special. Something people of the North, BC and Canada can be proud of and reflect on the beauty of our shared land.
I'm excited to see this thing with 24" tires. Matt's making a monster machine again! From Bombi to The Bomb!
I would have thought that more sidewall deflection will mean it sheds its tracks more often ?
@@Whateverpoopiepants Far from an expert, but the wheels on the ends are far more crucial, maybe they will have the ends at higher pressure to keep the tracks in place and the middles a bit lower.
You guys need to do a Special " Best of Lizzy" marathon! She's the Bomb!!!
Great job taking the group on tour, ❤, nice job Lizzy and Rhett. 🇺🇲👍
Can't wait to see the resurrected Bombi! What you have done so far looks great and I applaud your ingenuity as a team. Keep up the great work and great video.
I wonder how that Kombi body (in the next yard at about 18:35) would look on the "Bombi"? Plenty of room for crew and gear, (and Peanut) and a cool retro look. Would also suit the forward control set-up.
The "Kombi Bombi"!😅😅
