Matt needs a flashing light on the dash to warn him of low fuel 😆
This is an awesome idea hahahahaa
And it doesn’t even have to be hooked to anything. It should be programmed to randomly flash!!! Haha
7 flashing lights and a siren that progressively get worse after a half tank hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😅😅🤣
Definitely Chad please!!
A great conductor (Chad) with a great orchestra (the family) What an enjoyable concert it was 🙂
Always appreciate the wise words Chad 🤙
Chad I have to admit that Mark Walters made me laugh a lot with the flashing light for empty gas tank but you have the chance now to do a multiple stages reminders for gas to be refilled :)) something with engine shutdown and horn activated :)) I am just having fun with this, but I think people should vote what kind of low fuel alarm should fit for Matt and YES Matt to agree having installed in! Let him know on my behalf. Cheers and thanks for the video!
That's a great idea!! Thanks for sharing 😁
I would engine turn the instrument panel. It looks sexy and won't rust! Like the cowl on the Spirt of St. Louis.
1:37 Looks like Matt could really use a cup holder while out on trails. He's always holding a big cup awkwardly in lots of episodes. It would be so much better if he had a cup holder! Great build so far.
Have Rory install that , I hear he has experience at that ...
It looks like as much work or morr than you guys did at Matt's shop.
Thanks for sharing.
Probably MORR 🤯 But connecting and verifying everything always takes extra time... no short cuts for that.
It is amazing that you can keep all of those wires in order. You would have a heart attack looking at my stuff. So impressed with your skills, and your boys are carbon copies. keep up the great work.. it inspires me to do better lol.
I can't even begin to imagine the amount of money it must take to have a job like this done, soup to nuts by someone with Chad's skill and attention to detail?
This isn't a "paying" job, Matt offered but it didn't feel right.
He's helping us and Jaymie and him are good friends!
@@chadsfab Oh I have no doubt barter system was in full force. I'm just thinking of a ballpark figure for an entire wiore job on aproject like that is I was to include it as a line item in a budget. Is $10K an insult? Is it close? Just wondering more than anything eles. That's a lot of knowledge being put to work!
This job has well over 600 man hours in it. Times that by shop rates and it’s definitely not cheap. This is an extreme build really, but that’ll give you some idea.
I just need to redo the wiring on the playboy buggy, 83 ski centurion and 83 sleek craft stupid boat. You give me hope and yes I was an electrician but getting into places to do it
You should call your place Chad's Lab, because all the boys look like they've been cloned, lol, great work, and video guys, 😉👍thanks for sharing.
😂🤣 The Carter gene's are strong with these ones 😁
Another product that works well is Penetrol. I use it all the time on those faux rusty garage door skins, rusty gates, etc, when they become dull and faded. Great Job and Cheers!
You the man chad
Without you all of the stuff you do would be totally different. Maybe not so clean and definitely messed up. Thanks for your good work. It inspires.
Whenever Chad says, "Rat rod wrecker" all I can think of is Scooby-Doo...
🤣😂🤣 Love it!!
Where did you get the crimper for the weatherproof connector pins?
The deutsch pin connector crimper (bulkhead connector) can be bought easily from amazon for around 40 and they work great.
The weather pack and gt series crimpers can also be bought from amazon.
Matt didn't send you guys any chicken n and baskets. Lol keep up the great videos
You're right, he didn't 😐 I'll have to razz him about that now 😂
Chad, you and your family rock! Your wiring work and attention to detail is out of this world. Keep up the great job of teaching and passing down your knowledge to your kids. The world needs it.
Just because you speed up the video we still see the hand in the candy/nut bowl on every pass by. 😂
yup 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good job, very time consuming!!!
🤣😂🤣
@cadsfab - Can't YOU put Matt's Airhorn on top of His Cab? Or in a Space under it? A lot of Truck driver's add additional Airhorns on the Underneath on the Left side of their Cabs because people don't pay attention of their wide turns and that they can't see them well from that side of the truck.

I would make a box in the center console behind the seats for everything you always have with you, like food or the victory pie.
And then do a couple of drink holders on top back against the wall, better to have the water bottles back there than have them rolling around on the floor...
Cheers from Northern Sweden!
I was thinking a built in lunch box too.
Put a permanent sign / plaque on the ashtray front that says CUSTOMER'S KEYS and make it a key drawer
Or t-shirts...
That's a built in fridge for pies, water and stolen sodas. Let's get it wired, run off the AC and insulate it.
An insulated cooler area behind the shifters would work nicely to hood victory pies and other such things.
It’s hard not to admire your cumulative knowledge, skill and patience. 👍🏻
I wish more fabricators would put this much thought into their work. 👍
Definitely impressed with the use of military grade connectors on the firewall connections.
Need a pie holder as well. Maybe some storage area for misc items as there is nowhere to simply lay anything. Great video and learned a lot here. Thanks Chad-fam
Thanks for the video Chad and Crew 👍 great job on Matt's Wrecker,got your hands full that's for sure ❤️❤️👍. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️.
Chad to the Rescue!!!!!!!!!!!!😉......
He does know his craft!😊
I sure wish I have an auto electrician guru in my neck of the woods, you guys definitely rock
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Maybe there is, networking helps, (just checked out your channel) you are west coast, and Kyle Fisher is near the west coast #MakeitCustom.. Try meetups and such.. Good luck, looking forward to watching some of your videos.
@@tstephens128
Hi Tom awesome thank you for getting back to me , and that’s a very good info. I been watching you guys from the first time you showed up to Matt’s OffRoad and recovery and was very impressed with the knowledge you guys have
Keep up the good work
Cheers
How does the candy Bowl keeps getting full even with all the passes I'm sure you're not putting candy back in the bowl LOL
😂🤣 I actually do restock it, gotta keep the crew happy and sugared up...wired 😉😂 -Stacie
A lot of people can do big projects but it takes an expert to bring it home and make dreams and wishes come true! Great work guys!
Dusty's a natural and an asset to the videos.
Dusty and Chad are on heck of a team too
Dusty is that! And we LOVE having him and Tyson around so much!
middle console needs a pad for a perched person or dog - you know that's what it will be used for in reality.
Imagine how awesome Chad's Griz will be with all the practice on Paul's and Matt's wreckers. I'm excited to see how it turns out.
For that style of truck, the air horn goes on top of the cab. A little loop lanyard comes down to operate the horn. Of course, that's an air horn. But burying a chrome air horn in the engine bay is a no-no!
Talk Matt into front camera to help spot and rear camera to see either what the wrecker or the towed rig is doing.
A lot of man hours have gone into this Wrecker , great work by Chad and his family
Chad, you're a very patient man, you and your team do excellent professional work, great job to everyone
While watching you sort out where all the switches should/could go,I started reminiscing and missing floor mounted dimmer switches +
Hey hey, I certainly hear you there. That was the best place for them.
The only truck I had with floor mounted dimmer switch was with a manual transmission.
Not my favorite when you are pushing in the clutch and need to dim your headlights.
Question? Is there going to be a GOOD gas gauge, and will it have an obnoxious audible "scream" mode when the tank is low?
This is a good gas gauge, not "scream" mode. Talked with Matt about it a few times and he said he'd just ignore it no need to bother everyone else 😂😂
Always outstanding work! Can’t wait to see the new truck and griz’s engine
Chadmeister keep doing what your doing, you and your family are ringing the bell. Thanks for a great video
I'd put the air-horns on the cab roof facing forward, along with some orange marker lights. The wrecker is deserving of some loud-as horns and up high they'll be heard for sure. You could run an air-line up through the cab and just have a quick-couple fitting so the cab can still be lifted off.
Im really enjoying your videos! Why dont you put the horn on the roof instead? Thanks again for a fantastic channel. //Robert, Sweden
I bet even an ambulance has less wires. MATTS imagination is CHAD FAB CREWS nightmare. LOL
🤣😂🤣 I've definitely done lots of this wiring in my sleep...
Awesome video I love wiring so it's super relaxing even to just watch you guys do it. Nothing better than super neat and clean wiring.
At least Matt went to the right place to finish his wrecker. It is not easy wiring it correctly but it appears you take the time to do it right. Most people don't have the patience to do it right. And it doesn't cost anything to be kind. I like your little anecdotes. Shows how you think too. ❤❤❤
I think the air horn needs to go on the roof!
PLEASE put a jump seat with a seatbelt harness on that box on the bed, before someone gets hurt! Namely Lizzy!
Watching those harnesses come together and sitting down to reorder the terminals on paper by hand till I'm satisfied that I got the best config n build done. So satisfying my hands are tingling. I need to get down to that workshop again.
There's something very wholesome about watching your channel. It clear to me also, that there is a lot of respect shown, not just to your family, but to the entire crew. Such a breath of fresh air, when you consider what's also available on RUclips.
Everyone on all these channels are devout Mormons
That spot at the rear of the console needs a 'junk' catcher (deep tray) for the many little items that Matt and others will have with them. As mentioned, Victory pies too! Never too many cubby type spots in a working truck.
Customer key pocket
The rear section of the console is for the HVAC system
They have pneumatic actuators for those crimpers when you have a lot of the same pin type to install, for when you don't have three handed operators :)
A juice box and a victory pie holder. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Man I hope you guys are getting well taken care of that is a boat load of wiring and repairing you guys rock thanks again for sharing. God bless you all😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Make no doubt about it. Chad's Fab's channel getting several videos and many more subscribers plus Matt paying make for a healty paycheck
This isn't a "paying" job 😉 Which is why it's not included in the customer work week. Matt has offered to pay me but I don't feel good about charging him.
@@delbutler885 hope so I know Matt’s viewers are helping but my gosh that was a sh@t ton of wiring excuse my french
@Chad's Fab If you're going to invest time and money into a "non paying" job you certainly picked the right horse to bet on. I'm sure you will reap the dividend multi fold.
This was definitely a job to be outsourced!
You could put all you circuit breakers (klixon 7277's) in that back of console dead area.
That's where the HVAC stuff will go.
When asked a question I always say I don't know, but I know a guy that does. Chad you are that guy 👍.
I think Chad must be the most mellow laid back dude I've ever seen......lol
I find it kind of funny, that with all the computers and digital design systems around now days, most fabricators still use the tried and true CAD system to design mock up parts.
I really like that Stacy is hands-on actively involved , not just videoing and editing.
came here to say just that!! Love that the entire family is involved with this business!!
videoing and editing is a lot of work.
Like she doesn’t have enough to do 😂
Just gotta love Stacy, she brings sunshine in her personality. Wonderful family. Something about traditional values, too unusual today. A message by example, nothing better.
Yea she’s a worker but editing isn’t easy. That shit takes a ton of time and patience. I couldn’t do it that’s for sure
A show worthy build of a working off road wrecker, MORR is no different than other towing/recovery companies, looking good working!
Thanks to pros like Chad all these parts will work together clean.
Great work folks, seeing this attention to detail justifies your bill, well worth it.
You are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
Dont forget a spare loom in case Matt puts a flashing beacon on the roof
If Matt puts a flashing beacon on the roof it isn't going to fit through the garage doors.
@@stargazer7644 True !! But Matts garage has a higher shutter
It would be wild to add a jump seat in the back somewhere since the cabin is a two seater now
You all are so chill that you make that 'happy accident' artist dude look manic.
Man that's A LOT of wiring work.... I could never be this organized. Since you started working on the wrecker I see you taking notes and constantly changing everything as the project evolves 👏🏻 congrats
You have to be at least that organized on a complex project like this. You'll just spend forever chasing errors otherwise. Looks like Chad 'n crew even had each wire printed with the function in addition to color-coding. I've only seen that before in aircraft work. It will really pay dividends when maintaining the wrecker.
@@martylawson1638 You buy a fuse panel with harness that is marked. They then customize it to add circuits. Still a huge undertaking. BTDT but at lesser expertise. You can pretty much buy anything yo need now. When I was doing it, salavaged connectors from other cars.
YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN CHAD!!! >>>Just make a small butt pad between the seats just to have something to hold a person and share the passenger seat. They really need it. Just make it small so air could be worked in to come out 2 vents on the stop/ side of that little seat. He needs to mount 2 seats on the back, they sit on the boxes but I am sure he could come up with something.
I love all the NEATNESS that you and your guys put in. Being a perfectionist I really appreciate quality work. Thanks for sharing! CB
I was thinking the same thing, a miscellaneous compartment that flips up open and an upholstered pad on top for an extra small seat.
They need jump seat somewhere on that rig.
And a spot for Peanut.
It's impressive how relatively little of your videos are timelapse, given how much thought, organization, and attention to detail is required for rewiring projects of this caliber. I can sit and think for hours on exponentially less complex 12V projects. 😅
Great content guys. All of you are doing a great job 👍 on the wrecker. Really enjoyed watching.
Thirty-one minutes of WLORW goodness! Glad Matt was able to let go of his baby for a while to let the Chad's Fab crew get the substantial electronics sorted out. Should look great at night!
Chad and Stacy, your family has the patience of Job. Y'all keep up the good work
Another great video from Chad's Fab! I can't wait until the next one! Always great content!
Make the fuel gauge BIGGER and in the middle! LoL
Surprise Matt with some old school Subaru Brat style seats mounted to the boxes in the back.
I agree with this!!
Chad, you and your family are rock stars! Attention to detail is out of the ballpark. Cheers from Spokane Valley, WA.
Few people realize how time consuming wiring can be ( correctly). Chads Fab, first class.
Hopefully you add a 4000 lm red flashing low fuel light for Matt
Instead of all strobes, the wrecker could really use an old fashioned rotating beacon on top to fit the vibe of the rig.
Sadly Matt wouldn't be able to pull it into the shop with that on top
🥴😵😖😣😬😩😫🤯 my gosh I don't know how you remember all that it goes here and that goes there? You and your team / family are amazing. 😊 could you mount the air horn on the outside above the cab?
Bad Matt, forget to give chad everything he needs. 🙂🙃😄😃😀
Lots and LOTS of notes 😂
I did worry about the clearance issue with the horns on the roof, but....
Boy Oh Boy....
So much work....
The detailing is Amazing....
Great Crew...
Awesome Project...
Rear facing seats with 5 point harness behind the cab might be a nice option.
With the world's largest off-road wrecker goes a 200 page book of all the wiring. Glad it is getting done. GOOD JOB EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!
OLD SCHOOL....was CABLE LACING using a Waxed String/HD Thread instead of spiral wrapping with tape. We had a flat hook tool that was a spacing width..and like a canvas sailmaker stitching, we would Loop and Hook and SPACE and Loop and HOOk....etc until we had the cable bound together. The color wires were easily visible for wire tracing.
Cheap Japanese Mini flatbed trucks.. two or three thousand.... Has the same interior that these guys are building.......... For how big it is.. for the amount of money that's getting spent.... It is so impractical..........
It is truly amazing all the different things that you and your team can work on. From the engine themselves, to the electrical systems throughout the vehicle, from top to bottom, Hood to Trunk! I can’t think of one thing that you fellows cannot fix or work on! Absolutely, truly absolutely unbelievable. BRAVO! 👍 BRAVO!! 👍 BRAVO!!! 👍
Nice job! Wiring is one thing that blows a fuse in me!!
17:18, the most important part of the build, re-fuelling the snacks!
I've said it before; if you want a calm, orderly, organised job done, go to Chad's Fab,
LSX supercharged 427? Good job on all the fab work! Gauges look great! Love my touch switches with solid state relay box! The smaller 4 in one gauges Im guessing will be a challenge to read while driving. Corbin's snack time! LoL
We had to add... We had to remove... Then we had to re-pin... This video is a perfect example of why bus-and-module wiring is a thing. There's plenty to be said for the old-school way, but easy-to-change isn't part of it.
Don’t forget to place a Radio holder
And maybe install a walkie-talkie radio and ptt.
Also Gopro mounts
Also FRONT camera e rear camera and LCD display
I like how your whole family gets involved in projects, I'm guessing the Grizz motor is a 6.2 LS, great video thank's for sharing God bless ❤😉👍
They always struggle with geeting a cell phone signal in those fringe areas so they should put a WeBoost or similar cell signal booster on their rigs.
That's not microscopic. Take that same sized connector and add another hundred wires. Then you'll have a microscopic, alphanumeric nightmare. Used to rewire military aircraft…
There is nothing like watching a central nervous system being built and installed.....Elon will probably will be calling for help with an AI robot for Mars
Oh, man... Cannon plugs were the bane of my existence in the Air Force. I'll be happy to never have to deal with building them again...
That ceiling is screaming, "gauges, switches, etc. prime space available".
Gummy bears as brain food!❤❤❤
Take all the time you need, Chad. You having the wrecker makes Matt's channel much more entertaining. None of those easy recoveries that the wrecker made for them.
Yall do amazing work I love watching you work especially on Matt's rig. A tip for that helicoil is once it's fully inserted remove the tool and turn it 1/4 turn and out it back in and smack it with your hand, That will usually break the tang off then you can blow it out with air or just let it fall out. That works about 87% of the time for me the other 13% of the time i have to snap it off with a skinny pair of needle nose plyers.
Chad, your knowledge of wiring is incredible. So happy that you are able to pass it on to your Boys! Your fellow RUclipsrs are definitely benefitting from what you do!
Out of about 10,000 wires you are running in that truck, you messed up one of them. Oh the shame. You guys are amazing. I have no idea how in the world you keep any of them straight. Great job.
