    I bet the Tangerine is more useful in its current configuration. Maybe a canvas top and a windshield and a front winch could be added for more recovery work.

    • @ritterkeks
      @ritterkeks Год назад +5

      a windshield - even just perspex - is a must. especially if the driver in this case is not even wearing sunglasses. very easy to get injured - a stone or an insect to the cheek is dangerous enough, let alone straight to the eyeball.

      @@ritterkeks I think you're right. I wear glasses so my eyes are all right, but I've had a few bumblebee strikes on my bike at 8-15 mph, and it's a startling impact even at lower speeds. Just the other day I hit a dragonfly. It was disorientating -- WHOMP-FRRRRRR with its wings over my eye. I would absolutely have had wings _in_ my eye if I didn't have my glasses on. I was on a path less than 3 feet wide with nettles on one side and a canal on the other, with water which stays cold enough to be dangerous for almost the entire year.
      So I guess I guess I have a very good reason not to get contacts, even though I see much better with them.

    Around 1:55 to 2:00 I noticed that both of Tomtom’s passengers were holding on to the roll cage rails. Might I suggest to put some sort of loops from the one where Colby has his hand to the a pillar one. To reinforce the corner and provide a hand hold.

      I did the same to our sand rail. Make sure the inner cage tube is trussed enough so that its impossible that the outer tube bends inwards enough to crush a hand. And you never get rubbed on a tree at high speed...

      Been saying this for a long time. Never hold on to the roll cage. Keep your whole body in the buggy. Holding onto the roll cage in the rocks is a great way to lose some fingers.

  • @joecat101
    @joecat101 Год назад +2

    You need a solid link from the back of the wrecker to the towed vehicle. I have an idea for it. Utilize the pintle hook. Make a 2 piece sliding square or round tube with holes drilled to make it length adjustable, add the pintle hook to attach it the the wrecker. Than make a couple adapters that can strap on to the diff, or bumper & one to go into a 3 in hitch reciever on the towed vehicle. No more damage, and no need for braking or an anchor vehicle.

    Back in '99 I rebuilt my Dana 35 after a trip to Moab and broke the ring and pinion. Had to drive out of Pritchett Canyon, and back to town in reverse. Right after I rebuilt it, tried to chirp the tires (like an idiot) by popping the clutch. Heard a bang, so I got on the freeway to head home a couple miles away. Tire and axle shaft flew off and left me grinding my way to a stop on the side of the road riding on the backing plate. Still remember watching my axle shaft and tire role past me! Fun times, needless to say a Dana 44 with Superior axle shafts and a spool solved that problem forever!

    For all the years we took Pat's YJ off roading, we never lost the c clips. Never on any of our other Jeeps either, but Pat's YJ was the one that always broke down from electrical issues. My XJ had a smittybilt winch that refused to free spool, My WJ had problems engaging four-wheel drive, my RAM constantly got stuck and hydro locked, but none of us ever lost the c clips

    It just dawned on me the Tangerine reminds me of the safari jeeps in Jurassic Park movie. That wrecker just impresses at every job, well done. And nice job by the whole crew, level headed, they talk clearly and loudly but never barking or shouting, everyone follows the spotters with no second guessing and a camera person always in the right spot to be safe and get the best shots. Very well done. Merry Christmas Everyone

    A couple small pair of vice grips on the brake hoses will help you in those situations to get you partial brakes going again with minor risk of further damage.

  • @chrisschlesinger4146
    @chrisschlesinger4146 Год назад +2

    Just a tip I learned a long time ago when you blow a brake caliper you can take the brake line off slide a nail in the line re-install line and it will plug the line so you'll have the rest of your brakes

    • @benthebuilder6934
      @benthebuilder6934 Год назад +1

      I feel like the harder part is keeping the center of gravity manageable while fitting large tires under the bed. Fabrats is making one now so we will see how it does

    Just another day for Matt. I wait for the video for a difficult recovery! Prepared always for the job makes people unprepared for disasters. Matt is always training himself to be resourceful knowing he has all resources he needs left back at the shop. Including extra fuel for the Banana at times. Backed by his loving and other human resources, they "get them out"

  • @mm3rik
    @mm3rik Год назад +1

    i have said this before , you need to build something solid from the back of the wrecker that will stop the tow car from hitting the wrecker ,(a A frame that uses the nato hitches on the wrecker with a T bar that can be attached the recovered car)

    • @JohnFL

  • @mlsargent51

    There should be a rubber brake hose that feeds off to both rear wheel cylinders. Clamp that hose, and you'd get front brakes to use. (for future info)

    Matt -Just an Idea- Growing up for pulling truck out that had no brakes, we used a chain inside a 3" or 4" drill pipe tied to each vehicle hitch or solid tie down point on each. Tow truck was used as the breaks.

    I'm sure you've got a plan, and I'm sure you've seen BSF recovery's rig. But, you need some sort of spreader bar to keep the dead truck from swinging forward into the wrecker. good job on a tricky recovery though

  • @jamesbigham9036
    @jamesbigham9036 Год назад +6

    Good morning Matt in my opinion the title of this video isn't accurate because it was a test for the wrecker. It was a more challenging route but the capable wrecker made it look easy as always.
    I hope everyone has a merry Christmas and a happy holidays
