Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
With those plastic air lines, put some of those cheap push lock type end to end connectors in your tool kit. When you get a leak, you can cut the hose right at the leak and slip on the "butt connector" and be on your way in about 5 minutes.
I've seen hose melt at the compressor exit just from the hot air as well. Better to skip that line and use fuel injection rated line. ARB makes a reusable union for the air locker blue line but this looked to be tank supply or something.
Just use PTFE / Teflon line and you will have a much higher margin before anything melts.
Friday, payday and Matts offroad? HELL YEAH!
Dude amen to all that
More like Fri-YAY.
Yay it's back !!!
Same here BROTHER!
Haha, love that happy Matt face when he started driving the wrecker
Just came here to make the exact same comment
Had a SEG on his face for the longest time, lol...
Yep, can't fake that one. He was a kid with a new toy.
Matt, why didn’t YOU pick up the wrecker yourself? Not send Jacob as an pick up errand boy. Chad and his team did all that great detailed work, and now you deprived Chad the happiness of showing the teams work to you! Not very respectful.
@@bnnn124 why don’t you shut up
I love seeing the pure joy on Matt's face when he drives the wrecker! Awesome video guys!!
Still one of the best, most wholesome and real life youtuber out there. Everything built in house or by friends at their house. No BS. No supercars, no stupid stunts for views.
Really! I think if you pay attention you'll see lots of scripted and staged shots along with clickbait thumbs.
@@tyendor1952 you should have put a question mark behind the the word really. Not an exclamation point.
@@tyendor1952 Maybe, but no overplayed fake sincerity, fake recoveries, clickbait stolen trucks, overpriced mystery boxes or trips to Scotland to prop up web scammers because he owes them big bucks he can't pay back. That's the difference!
@@tyendor1952 people like you will always find whatever bad you are looking for, no matter how hard you have try.
Refreshing ain't it....
Jake always seems so excited to be a part of things there.
Looks and sounds comfortable on camera.
Good addition to the channel IMO.
He sounds like he is on one of those reality shows on the Discovery Channel. They should put in a an ad break so he could repeat everything he said before the ad break, but make it sound touch and go whether everything was about to turn to custard. He is good value though. I like him.
probably his job to be lol. Very few people would want to watch a sad person working and complaining. :)
Tom, you do a fantastic job keeping us, the audience, well informed on these adventures. Thanks! 😊
I like how Matt doesn’t even check or test any thing (except the welder) he just goes for it. It says a lot about his character of having faith, the can-do attitude and how he prioritizes actual work. It’s a good thing it left chads fab with what was apparently a decent amount of fuel 😆
If you look for something wrong you're going to find it, just carry on
Oh crap I didn't even think about the fuel😂
Derby driver😎
Well they DID say they had started it so they would have seen and checked the gauges, INCLUDING the fuel gauge that I am sure Chad made double sure worked. 😆😁😆
😂
Check out John Deere front fenders for their full size tractors, should be easy to adapt them and plenty large enough. They also follow the tire since they mount to the knuckle and won't effect the look of the wrecker hardly at all.
Jcb 4 wheel steer do the same and they can come in yellow 😂
I was thinking the same thing. That would look the best on that wrecker I think. With the prefab skills they could probably build them. I was thinking they could use old tire tread for the actual finder. It might make them blend into the tire better, and they would be rubber so they wouldn't have to worry about damage.
Soooo nice to see the wrecker back home! I can tell Matt is stoked!!
Good way to start a Friday, watching some Matt's Recoveries!
for me it's the end of the Friday, we're 12hr ahead!
Rings aren’t “snatch” type because you have to feed the rope end through, you can’t snatch the rope mid line.
Glad you have the wrecker back!
What? You just undo the soft shackle and put the rope on the ring. No different than any snatch block.
I used to work for a company that made hydraulic hoses for large companies. One of our customer made fire trucks. Some of their hoses required a fire sleeve to be installed. That may be an option as you are going to be replacing that melted hose anyway. You should be able find a large enough size to run a bundle of smaller diameter air line through it. It may also be prudent to install some on any hydraulic hoses that are near heat sources to prevent the oil from thinning out and be less likely to be pressurized. The sleeves were usually installed before the hose was completed, but, if you have a straight end fitting, they should be able to slide over it and on to the hose. Then we used a hose clamp to fasten them to the hose to prevent them from sliding on the hose.
Great to see it out in the wild doing it's thing. 😁
Looks like we'll have to re-group on those air lines. 🤔
Now that i'm not so sleep deprived, I think I will redo that switch panel.....not in love with that at all.
OK, but don't take too long. We'll be waiting, lol
The Smile on Matt's face as they started out is fantastic. True joy.
Really like seeing more of Jake, he has a really fun positive energy that is effortless in front of the camera.
So Matt, I watched the build of your Off Road Wrecker from its inception.
I was afraid that it would be too big and cumbersome for its work!
Boy was I ever Wrong!! That machine has proven to be probably every-
thing you had invisioned and More... what a Beast it is! Sounds like it
might take a little while to work out the bugs while it reaches its full
capability, but Man What A Recovery Rig. Congrats on a great Vision!!
MWP, Cosby, Tn.
No, it isn't. It has been a bust since they started trying to use it.
@georgeorwell126 Why are you here?
Jake and Colby are the new Rhett and Jefe who were the new Trevor and Skeeter! It's just a steady flow of off-road recovery and content creator talent!
I like your positivity! Most comments like this are berating Matt for "getting rid of" former employees..
Id love to see Trevor come back just to test drive the wrecker for an afternoon
dang I miss Skeeter and Trevor
Best kind of leaders train them up well and send them out to conquer the world! This idea that some people have that a particular person needs to stay around forever, I do not understand. Let's look forward, and not backwards. Nostalgia is overrated and only holds people back. There's nothing that makes a leader more proud than to have one of his former employees go out and have great success.
@@ChuckHickl Do you think that Matt " trained up " Tucker on editing video , or , being the cameraman ?
Do you think that Matt " trained up " Trevor on electrical work , or , being the cameraman ?
Skeeter wasn`t there long enough to be " trained up " on anything .
Chad's Fab worked hard on the Wrecker! (I watched em 😉) They did so much tedious work I would have pulled my hair out doing. Enjoyed watching the guys figure out their new toy. I'm surprised RLA hasn't gotten Bluesteel taken care of already. It's probably on the list, they are as busy as everyone else. Enjoyed the scenery and the rescue. Stay safe and GOD bless
This off-road wrecker takes this channel to whole new level! Once Matt gets the controls dialed in and gets used to it, he will be unstoppable. (except for no gas). No one else has a wrecker that comes close to the capabilities of this one. I have a lot of respect for Rory and trail Mater, but this wrecker can sing and dance like no other!
It's so great to see your excitement from getting your 'BABY' back!!!
A happy reunion with the wrecker! Almost brought a tear to my eye!
I've watched this build clear thru Chad's finishing touches, it turned out cool and gave us some really good content. Nice recovery!
You really need to do a reunion show with the pre-Golden Nugget crew.
Yes. It almost feels like a family has been lost.
Some of them are estranged nowadays.
I follow another channel of someone that has every toy in the world but never lets any of his crew drive anything. It’s cool to see Matt share the joy.
Been watching your recovery adventures for a few months now - your activities never get old! Love the 'SOPE' (Seat Of Pants Engineering) repairs!
Mighty nice repair work by Matt and Tom. I wouldn't have thought a battery welder could perform so well.
Labeling controls/switches is always a good thing.
Dymo
@@SS-ec2tu Rhino. 😉
I think it makes it harder for someone to steal it.
I've typed on my favorite keyboard so long and hard that many of the keys don't have letters on 'em anymore.
I get a lot of complaints when people have to use my machine that they can't use a keyboard without letter on the keys.
Heck, *I* know where the keys are, lol. It's my machine!
@@Backroad_Junkie I noticed all the labeling is worn off my coffee maker. It still works. I know what buttons to press to make coffee.
Matt seemed so happy behind the wheel of "The Wrecker". It was almost like he was 16 years old and just learning how to drive.
Matt, why didn’t YOU pick up the wrecker yourself? Not send Jacob as an pick up errand boy. Chad and his team did all that great detailed work, and now you deprived Chad the happiness of showing the teams work to you! Not very respectful.
@@bnnn124 jeez, how many times you gonna post your bs?
Cut-n-paste much?
Well yeah. He was relearning how to drive it. New challenges are the best.
I'm willing to bet that Chad's Fab was LOVING the beginning of this video! 😀
It's Matt's very own crazy creation, and he doesn't even remember how to drive the dam- "Darned" thing. Boy was it fun watching him fall in love with it all over again, though!
I cant wait to see much more of this beautiful piece of machinery in action.
You can't ever replace the Banana. The Morrvair is simply legendary.
This thing, though? WOW.
Heavy D is gonna want you to make him one soon.
Chad & his guys did an amazing job wiring everything! Crazy amount of wiring! There's bound to be a few gremlins with custom builds for sure, I have gotten to a point that I always heat wrap my exhausts & run turbo blankets on everything. Heat & sound improvements are totally worth it. I soak my wrap in hot water, then once it's dry I paint it all flat black stove bla paint
Man I loved the look and sound of those old rams . Before they put giant headlights and grills
Regarding your melted air tubing, I also learned the hard way. Also, there are different materials for air tubing. Some have higher melting temperatures than others others. Try Parker Parflex or Air Lift Synflex DOT rated tubing.
4:00 Matt's face is pure happiness when driving the wrecker again for the first time it's back from the shop.
Ain't gonna lie, a good automobile service person has really gained much respect from me. These gentlemen have to be some of the most unrecognized geniuses in the world.
Good morning first i watched a new FabRats video and now you guys have a new video out. This has been a perfect MORRning for me.
You guys might want to make sure you have windshield wipers so if you get caught in rain that wont be a problem when you are on a recovery.
That deserved a victory pie matt for sure! 🎉Great repair & recovery tom. Y'all done great & your wrecker sure will do tha job!!👍 ☕🐢
bet he doesn't know yet about the pie holder compartment!👍
@@jasonh4167 creature comforts for the win... yes sir yes sir....•¿°
I seen the pie holder on Chad's fab. Awesome addition
Glad to see you got her back 👍 You may want to think about getting a 2nd remote unit for the winches and put it in a pretty cushioned pelican case for when something happens to the one you are using right now - it would suck having to do this while running the winches from the cab. Plus you have so much extra room for it! Ha!
Thanks for so many enjoyable hours of entertainment for our family! Our son has pulled a. Bunch of people out with his MORR rope!
Matt's smile says it all. The satisfaction of seeing all the ideas on his head come to life, exactly as he dreamed of them.
Nothing like working out the kinks while recovering. It takes talent to make things go smooth. Great welding.
It's great to see the WBW back. I know you'll get all the bugs worked out in time. Like Rory said "it's a work in progress". Matt and Tom make a good team. Stay safe.
Matt's ability to troubleshoot any problem in any situation is truly amazing! And a joy to watch! Love seeing the wreck back in action!
The wrecker proving itself all over again. Your team work made the dream work. Have a good week and God bless amen.
The wrecker has so many gauges, controls, and levers. It keeps getting better and better!!!
I enjoyed this one. I'm amazed at how you guys keep coming up with new stuff.
I love these recovery video's. I love the new builds/upgrades too, but watching a classic recovery brings me back to why I started watching MORR in the first place.
Chad and company did a great job on the wiring dash looks great .Well done guy's on the welding great video thank you
Amazing recoverys guys !!..... nice to see matts face glowing again when getting his monster-toy back !!
HEY! Gooooood MORRning everyone! Thumbs UP to Matt and crew, don't forget to fill up with ⛽. 👍🏁🏁
Lucky 13 LOL
@@richardthomas1743 someone "left" and messed up all our numbers...LOL!!!
@@JanelleVocate-Ames yes there was 5 or 6 porn link comments LOL . We are all here so that is what is important! 👍
You have been bumped to double one (#11)🥳
That grin on Mat’s face is priceless he is so happy.
Love the smile on Matt's face when he got moving in the wrecker like kid in a candy store 😊👍👍😎
Matt having fun with his giant truck and another great trail repair.👌👍
That was the pinnacle of the adventure of this whole activity when Matt crossed that 1st huge ditch, but unfortunately, nobody film that
So glad to see the wrecker back. I absolutely love seeing you turn old cars into recovery vehicles.
Finally I get my wrecker fix, been waiting on pins and needles, more wrecker! More wrecker!
Enjoy seeing the wrecker back in action. Matt light up like a kid at Christmas when he got in the wrecker. Great video and love Jake's enthusiasm
That Bigg smile on Matt's face when he first starts driving the wrecker again is Greatttt 👍 I bet that thing has to be a blast to drive!
Matt's Big Smile says it All!
I watched the whole process on "Chad's Fab", and Chad and his gang really did a super nice efficient technically superb job on wiring and fixing up the wrecker.
Learning the ropes. Truck continues to pay for it self. Perfect for terrain and jobs like this. Gottta love that dash and gages. Easy welding. Couple items to fix on the "Moarler".
Tom Tom is working on his MORR beard!
Good to see that massive loping elephant finally getting sorted and showing its capabilities. Must say im impressed with the workings of Matts brain, to design/build that thing completely from the ground up!! ...with help from the rest of the crew of course
Nice to see the new wrecker in action.
You guys should have a drone to fly around when its hard to find vehicles. Might save a bunch of time/gas
First of all, it is illegal to fly a drone over most of Utah. Second, the drone operator has to have an FAA license. Finally, the line-of-sight requirement restricts the effective range of the drone.
Why illegal? Federal lands? Is so he ought to be able to get a life safety exception. Tom Tom is smart enough to do the FAA license… it’s just paper not a practical. Finally, going up to 400 feet gives you a pretty huge line-of-sight…. Although the whole mountain thingy may complicate the issue.
love seeing matt soooo happy!!!
😂Jake got to learn a lot .... at 17:48 he totaly forgot to say :" Thats not going anywhere " 🤣😂
Awesome recovery, awesome teamwork, great video,
thank you for sharing
Matt’s crap eating grin is infectious 😃
That's what I though. As soon as the wrecker started up, lol...
Love that built-from-scratch wrecker! Awesome!
Man, you guys are awesome to watch! Definitely need those skills including the understanding of forces, gravity, and welding on Mars!
I've been working alot lately and haven't had time to watch, but this came right on time since it's a rain day today! Keep up the great work crew
Big fan of losing and slavery, i see
What a great asset Tom is to the team. Tom and Matt just really good friends working together.
Great trail repair and recovery Matt and Tom. nice trail recovery Colby and Jake. LOVE that the wrecker is back!!!!
Super sweet to see the wrecker out and tearing it up! That things a beast! Once all the kinks are worked out, I bet it's unstoppable!
Chad's Fab did a great job!
Matt driving the wrecker and a 10 year old with his first BB gun. It looked to me about the same reaction. 😊
Basically every time I see the wrecker I am just floored by how casual it makes all of this look.
Love the smile on Matt’s face. Like a kid at Christmas. 👍👍👍
Damn what a machine that wrecker is
The ear to ear smile on Matt’s face speaks volumes about his love for his baby.
Plastic airlines have no place on that beautiful build. Braided stainless lines only with Aeroquip fittings should be the order of the day. Love that build and the show .
Matt is amazing . He seems to be very happy when he is in the wrecker.
Nice work on the WORLDS LARGEST WRECKER “ MORR SHENANIGANS “
😎
Haven't seen Matt quite so happy to be on long distance recovery 😁
Great to see the wrecker back in action
Glad to see the wrecker back! My favorite vehicle in the fleet :D
Another awesome episode with the awesome wrecker and an awesome crew. Matt, just keep doing what you’re doing.
Thanks Matt and crew !!
Matt’s joy getting back into the worlds largest wrecker is priceless. Congrats Matt!
Wrecker is pretty fancy with them gauges and all the switches. You are going to love having that on board welder.
Matt was smiling like a possum in a pasture field! Excellent video. Tom Tom is awesome, wish I had a neighbor like him. I am afraid Lizzy is phasing out/off of the team.
Well ... she does have a husband that lives on the other side of the country.
Matt since the GPS didn't seem to know what to report, have you considered trying On X Offroad for pins?
There's a bunch of off-lineGPS options that are way better than google.
Great recovery and awesome to see the heavy wrecker in action again!
Love seeing the excitement of driving the wrecker!
That was one of the biggest smiles I've seen watching this channel. Lol
6:35 you guys could use a drone to scout the area from the air in those situations.
Only if you have a licensed drone pilot on board at the time.
So True - You never know what you have until it's gone. Glad to see it's back.
Teething pains are part of the game with new stuff. Irritating to burn thru an air line right off the bat, though. Fun watching the wrecker just walk over washes like it did... just neat!
Let's get the show on the road... Or off the road as the case may be. 😉
Ive been lost before... it looks just like that.
Very nice team work Tom Tom. 😊 Love you guys. All the best.
So glad to see the wrecker back in action.
