I'm so happy you're keeping Allen around. He probably benefits a ton from having friends like you guys around. And I believe he's a genius in is own way. Which fits in perfect with you guys.
Allen seems like the type that's to smart for society. I'd bet his IQ is almost as high as Willie Nelson.
Agreed. I’d like to see a video series of the guys helping Alan to get at least a part of his Crazy Castle finished. He’s never going to complete any of it while he’s working by himself.
Fake don’t reply
@@MH-qb9ev for sure. have you seen his Castle video? He has a genius drive to do something great, but his brain probably got scrambled at a young age when he realized that he would never have to work for money. I like that he has found a new purpose at Diesel. He needs focus.
@@pauljoseph8338 - or if he works for Sparks "full time" (though he could pay contractors).
I would love to see an "all hands on deck" helping Alan build his mountain top compound. I'd love to see that engineering marvel completed
Don't think it's a project that will ever be "completed" which is the best part haha
Have to agree it's like a Cerro Gordo project but image they spent a week or 2 up their with the crew. Have to say Heavy D and the boys would be pumped.
I think Alan should leave it at his own serenity, a place he can say he truly built himself. I think its part of the reason he has built the whole thing.
👏🏻
That would be a long not very entertaining series or video
To me, it's just so touching that you opened today's video with a warm, "Hello, friends." And it was easy to see that you really meant it. Just want to let you know I really appreciate that!
Just binge watching your episodes. Love your channel. Helps me through the tough times. Love what you do. Love Zion. 💕 I had an English Mastiff named Samson who weighed in at 172 and ruled the roost. I just had to put him down last Christmas Eve. Samson had the same personality as Zion. Super loving to me and my family. Love that you have trained him so well. I worked hard with mine also. Several 6 week session of obedience training. He was the best first dog I could have ever had. Makes me tear up seeing Zion remembering my boy.
You don't need a dual voltage alternator, just run a 24v alternator and use a step down transformer to run and charge the 12v system. I have a friend with a crane service and he has numerous cranes ranging in size from 40 ton to 120 ton and I was tasked with bringing them into carb compliance and the easiest way was swapping in complete powertrains from newer trucks and we went with 600hp isx15 engines. The cranes have both 12 and 24 volt electrical systems and for simplicity I chose to run a 24v alternator on the engine and use a 24v to 12v converter.
Curious about the transformer you used for this? What was the output on it?
@@goride450 The converter that I used is the Eaton series 21000.
Those Cummins isx engines are work horses and have so much torque it's nuts.
@@mikeshultz1007 damn, available in up to a 100A model. That's definitely a lot simpler. Even if you're running 12v winches (high current demand) you'd be able to use the Eaton as a "charger" to 12v batteries, which runs the winch.
I’d love to see the wrenching from hunter and Alan getting this thing back up and running. I enjoy seeing the mechanic work.
Hunter has a channel dude
@@Darwindiggler what is it?
Hunter Goodrich
@@Darwindiggler thanks!!
Fabing and welding, wrenching, nice living for a young man. I don't remember it being this Glam though 🧐
Love Zion - he is an excellent example of the breed, and a great example of how early training makes any large dog much easier to live with. I have a young English Mastiff as my baby, who is also about 200 pounds at 2 years old. Started training at 8 weeks, he already has his Companion Dog obedience title and has been certified as a service dog.
As a rigger and crane operator (55t to 250t) here in Australia, I can’t stress how important Timbers or bog pads are 😂
right on. timbers are organic. abandonable. just like my girlfriends.
Would a remote strain guage, have helped to warn about overloading it in the first place?
What about a video series of you guys helping Alan to get some parts of his Castle finished??!! Would be amazing content.
So glad to see Alan on your team and getting more time on camera.
I feel like its a plan D got with himself. Get Allan on the payroll be buddy buddys then maybe eventually Allan would give in and ask D if he wants to purchase the mountain from him. If you think about it...
You need to get together with Matt's Off Road Recovery and make history. Matt's building a badass tow truck right now, I think you would enjoy being a part of it. Share your people and grow. HellYeah! Lets Go!!!
What a gorgeous puppy! Seeing Zion's big face peering through the tiny rear window of the truck as you talked about him was priceless! 🤣🤍
Thank you for hiring Allen, society think he's crazy but he's a genius.
Where did anyone say he's crazy?
Fr Fr
Allen is such a good addition to the crew, seems like such a genuine guy with an awesome attitude👌👌
Allen looks like he is fitting right in with the family. Happy to see him still around
Hey Heavy D, my name is Jay and my wife and I watch your channel faithfully! First I want to say keep up the great work. I love the material but more so your cause. Very few people with old school values such as yourself and it’s amazing seeing the way you and your crew pull it together and make anything possible.
In this show you you asked about material best suited under your outriggers. Well as a heavy wrecker operator of over ten yrs as well as 15 additional yrs as a small to med duty wrecker and car carrier operator:…..it goes without saying that he harder the wood the better, the best I have found for use in any weather or situation as well as durability I highly recommend tiverton blocks. Not only the best bang for your buck, you won’t be disappointed with the way this material reacts in any situation.
Hope that is useful for you and keep up the amazing work brother!!
I love Alan being part of the team such a genuine nice guy and ready for anything to help
From watching the last video, for the front bumper I'd suggest something where you can add weights. Like what you see on farm tractors. So that you can keep the front down and be able to steer while towing.
Lot of work with weights, possibly extra equipment. BUT... ships pump water for ballast, why couldn't a HEMTT? Tank up front, tank in the back, fill it with open cell foam so it won't slosh, size each tank for 15-20 cubic feet and you could shuttle around 900 to 1200 pounds for whatever load or condition needed. 150GPM pump would take a minute for full transfer.
@@michaelbren3635 throw a 1000 liter diesel tank on the front. probably need it anyway.
YeahCranes have that the big boy Cranes
Frame really isn't made for it usually, now 1200 lb is probably not an issue for it but also probably isn't enough. I know on tow trucks if you lift the front wheels off the ground then you are putting too much stress in the frame. That's kind of what happened when he broke this. 1200 lb on the front bumper would be probably an extra 4,000 lb or so of force at the front of the tow bed.
@@blakel4595 the frame is the same all the way front to back. This thing a isn’t a Honda Civic
Always love seeing content like this where it involves fixing the crap you inevitably break lol Bet you could produce a whole series following Hunter and them around fixing everything. People love that stuff.
Love how he's chilling (literally) in a tank top with snow everywhere 😂. I lived in Denver for a few years and remember how nice it is to have almost no humidity. Shorts and a t-shirt during winter! Not in NC unfortunately 😕
Having guys like Hunter must be nice. He's an endangered species of human being💪
We need more of all these guys in the world
He technically is. The red head gene is recessive.
Allen is the type of man you can rely on when you need it most. Perfect addition to the crew 👍🏻
I love that he's now a member of the crew. I hope they get a chance to go help him with his compound though.
Former obedience trainer here. You do the introductions the other way around. Set the dog securely, walk up to them with the other person grab the other person's hand between your hands and offer your hands together while saying something like he is okay. I'll even rub other people's hands between mine to Cinemark them, then offer them both our hands
A Boerbull [Pronounced, 'Boehr-bull', instead of Borbul. More the sound of the word 'look' than 'bore'] is a common family pet/guar-dog in South Africa among 'developed world' folks. They were used to hunt Lions and big-game in the days of old because of their weight, athleticism, bravery and incredible bite tenacity. The king of the Mastiffs. My niece grew up from birth to 10 years old with one and there was never a single incident with her, ever. Except for uninvited 'guests'. The neighborhood kids exercised the dog for years, by getting her to tow them on their skateboards :-)
You have no idea how much light y’all bring into my life with y’all’s videos. Been in a very dark and lonely place in my life and seeing y’alls videos brings me so much positivity and happiness. Please keep up the great content. God bless y’all
Yo man. Tomorrow the sun might touch your face again. Sometimes we go through times that are very hard, keep going and suddenly all will change for the better... meanwhile try to live your life with happiness, never put energy in anger, hate or stress... never give up.
Bro you’re not the only one who feels like a failure. Keep your head up and give your best in everything you do. It will eventually pay off! Remember you have yet to hit your peak in life!
I appreciate y’all’s words of encouragement. I need it more than words can ever explain. There’s so much wrong in the world that the world needs more good people like y’all to help a stranger feel better just by lending a kind word.
Hey Jay. Stop. Realize you are the only thing keeping you down. Realize what's setting you off and get rid of it. People that don't matter, things, attitude, etc. Get rid of it all. Start your day positive, stay positive. I'm naturally a person that really don't want to be here. I force bad thoughts out my head and get busy so I don't have idle time to think about stuff that really don't matter.
The world's a bright and happy place if we make it that way. Fake it to make it. Fake positivity for a little bit until you feel it. I'm unmedicated now and way better off than with any doctor drugs they ever experimented with on me. I'm not happy, but I'm ok. Get mentally healthy. Get out and live life.
@@jcobcruz the sun comes out tomorrow. Make it through the dark. Life's not all fun and games. But it's definitely worth experiencing.
Alan is super interesting! Glad to see him stick around you guys gotta make more videos at his compound. All his vehicles and his compound! Especially his compound I mean he has a freakin mine under it!
As a South African watching all the videos i loved meeting Zion excellent breed for the family.
You guys are doing some serious work, love it. In college I used to deliver all the bolts for the largest large wrecker manufacturing plant in world (Miller - TN). They used SAE Grade 8 bolts/lock washers/nuts on attaching the boom to the frame. Those bolts at 22:10 don’t look like Grade 8’s. Grade 8 bolts have a higher tensile strength, have 6 lines on hex head, and a yellow zinc finish. If I remember right Miller used 3/4” or 7/8” diameter Grade 8’s. You guys probably know all this about bolt types, but to help distinguish, Grade 5 bolts are not as hard (hey o), have three lines on head, and are silvery zinc coated or plain carbon. Grade 2 bolts have no markings on top, and we sold them without coatings. There is a Grade 9 that exists, although i don’t remember us (Fastenal) supplying any of these.
These bolts were sheared so idk what bolt is the most proper. Most of the time The tensile and shear strength are not directly correlated.
grade 8's have more strength vertically but 5 and 6,s have more shear strength horizontally
@@BLOODNUT You hit that reply right on the head...As a electric overhead crane inspector I have never seen grade 8 bolts from the manufacture on general use cranes.
Between you and the Grind Hard Plumbing boys, my Friday is always stellar!!
Had to laugh. Just got done with the Barbie camper and now watching this 🤣😂
Check out vice grip garage.
Same lol
@@MrSaul04 yn 6úp
dude thats awesome, just watched them this morning😂
Watched you guys helping Adventures with a Purpose. Both do such good work all volunteer. It is so good to see good and not bad. We need more people doing good for the country.
Great to see the mechanical details behind fixing the HET. Love Zion! He fits with all your big size rolling stock.
Dave, Keep posting the mechanical repairs/upgrades! It's part of the process and good to watch.
We use a 3’ or so composite pad for each outrigger at work which have held up way better then I would have expected. For hairyer shit and out of grade we use swap pads made out of RR ties/bridge ties, we drill through em and hold together with cable and cable clamps. I think for what you guys do those would work really well! Outrigger cribbing isn’t supposed to have creosote In them if I remember correctly however.
Ive got a recommendation for the stiff legs, Instead of pads you could weld some big claws on the stiff legs and make the claws fit a railroad tie in them, Then put a railroad tie spanning both stiff legs under, the claws will sink into the railroad tie and that will sink into the ground, it will support the legs over a larger surface area but it will also give you resistance against moving front or back, pads will not do that so much, they will make it so the wrecker wants to slide around, pads are better for cranes or rotators where they are lifting the whole truck up for a solid platform and lifting the object more so than pulling it.
Also for the recoveries, like the crane when you are trying to flip something like that, don't use only the boom in the air to pull it upward, take those auxiliary winches and "spike" the vehicle by putting a snatch block low and hooking to something high on the vehicle you are flipping, that will pull downwards while the boom pulls the far side upward, allows for more pulling force, less load on the boom overall, etc.
Al's truck on Highway thru Hell has those hooks on his stabilizers.
@@danschwinge Yeah it might, Comes factory on some wreckers
Just bypass the wood pads, they do work but they cup out really bad after a few heavy loads. We used the nylon pads under an rt crane and they were awesome. Little bit of flex but sprung right back, had rope carry handles on them and were half the weight of the wood ones.
Really enjoy this type of content, but honestly all your content is great! Beautiful dog as well! Can't wait to see everything done on the HETT, it's gonna be amazing.
We've got a Belgian Malinios and she has a very similar temperament. The most difficult thing is dealing with strangers who think they can just run up and pet her. She's amazing with our kids even the baby.
Our Cane Corsos absolutely adore children but will rip a stranger to pieces 🤣! It never ceases to amaze how intelligent they are does it? Have a wonderful & blessed weekend!
Glad Alan has buddy’s like you guys 💪🏼 Right on!! Also I would love to see another “revealing a side of us you’ve never seen” video with Dave
I couldn't live with out my Boerboel Odyn. You don't see too many with a full tail! He acts the same way aside from jumping in the truck on command! These are the BEST family dogs and protectors. A dog that will truly love you til death if treated right. Training is a must with a dog of this size and ability. They have become incredibly popular and for good reason but I am afraid of owners with lack of experience in giant independent breeds. These dogs will take matters in to their own paws. @heavydsparks you got an amazing man there!
Question after watching the last related video - Not familiar with these lake beds, could D use some sort of sled/skid to drag the old crane on? Must be better than the crane wheels/chassis digging into the surface making everything harder, slower and less efficient.
The intro with the doggo and Al went perfectly (you could kinda tell there wasn't going to be an issue as doggo was looking at Al wagging his tail, had doggo been looking at him with a straight tail or commonly known as "alert" definitely been a different story. But as you said a dog like him will go from 0 to 100 really quick. Great video and Alan is a perfect fit in your team well done guys 👍👍🤘
Did you guys ever consider using skids on that crane out on the lake? Lift each side, insert a skid and drag it - I would hope it would be more manageable then dragging frozen tires through that muck
Yes bit like what the small wreckers do with an old car bonnet .
A aluminum sled would be ideal
Good point you suggested there
,,,ó
We have tried using skis/skids in the past on the great Salt Lake Lake lakebed and they do not work well because instead of gliding along easily like you would expect they instead create suction to the ground due to the increased surface area
@@HeavyDSparks If the flat surface had strakes(like a boat Hull )they possibly could work better ,trial and error,but you have tried which is commendable
What about a roller dolly with a wide foot print ,or a trailer dolly that rolls,that would work on the Dead loads you recover ?.also for the landing legs ,a large square log that is as wide as the truck ?
Love seeing the extreme conditions that you work in very testing they are
@@HeavyDSparks Could you build a trailer with flotation tires for the lake bed work?
Having guys like Hunter must be nice. He's an endangered species of human being
My uncle is an older version on Hunter. My sister was having her car fixed and it was gonna cost an astronomical amount to fix it. The shop called and said he had an expert welder friend that might be able to fix it. The expert ended up being my uncle!
Watching repair, maintenance is surprisingly enjoyable …especially with good narrative and a little fun. I LOVE watching fab work.
Just like a man. "We got about 4 inches of snow." Stating that while wearing a tank top. 😂
I used to work in the oil field and was the operator of the world's largest knuckle boom. We used a combination of 2in thick 18x18 square rubber mats and the large wooden pads that are 3 - 4in thick and about 2.5ft diameter on soft ground and asphalt. The truck had 4 out rigers, 1 at each corner of the rear deck, that went out 16ft on each side which really helped to distribute the weight. The truck was 70k pounds empty and had a 40ft rear deck.
Great vid about how you "broke" the Het lol , it did twang a bit .. (seen all 3 now this plus the 2 recovery ) just goes to show how easy it is to break something regardless how huge it is . Great content worth watching .
And theres just sommat about Zion that makes me wanna give him a huge hug ..what a beaut . Thanks for some great videos guys
"We're gonna need a bigger bolt." (Sorry, I had to say it!) It was great to see the actual work of repair--and Zion is both a beauty AND a beast! 😍 Keep up the terrific work and watch out for that lakebed 'cuz it's flat-out murder when it gets like this...We see more people who think they're gonna go off-roading and kill it, and it kills them instead. We can wait for the follow-up--stay safe!

I've been waiting on a video like this forever so cool to see how equipment that big does its thang!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just a bit of advice. I worked on big bucket trucks for many years, doing tree work for the utility company. we had outriggers on our trucks. These trucks ranged from,35 ft squirt boom for trimming around the lower lines, 60/70 scissor lift, to 100 ft. boom. We removed and trimmed trees around the powerlines. The best outrigger pads we had; were the hard plastic pads they out lasted the wooden pads by far.
Yea love these videos where you show how things are built or fabricated to get back together. Thanks fellas.
That dog is IMPRESSIVE!!! Never heard of that breed. My grandma has a Turkish Kangal that is a monster of a dog and scares the living hell out of people, but he is the biggest and sweetest pup if you know him.
Hey d and boys, just wanted to say thank you for continuing to give me a reason to smile , your videos are dragging me through the harder times in my life.. All of your supporters on a past video showed ME so much support it is amazing and they helped me keep fighting, excited to watch and thanks again 🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
Tomorrow is always a chance to find some light in this crazy world! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed weekend 🤗🙏🏻!
You got this Jordan. Hang in there and know you have a place here for help. Hugs!
Life's only bad if we let it be. You got to open your eyes to see the light in the dark. March onwards like a soldier of life should! Don't give up. We are all here for some reason beyond our understanding. Get to go find that meaning.
I love your dog :) I have a Pyrenean Mountain dog myself, he also wight about 180 lbs - 80 kilo. When I walk with him, he is not agressiv to strange people (as long as they behave normal), but he doesn't like strangers, and all the people and kids I see ask to pet him, because he looks like a polar bear, but smaller of course. I say no to most people. But as soon as I let him lose in his garden, our yard - he is a different dog, much more agressiv and protective. I hope to see much more of your dog in the future - take care and stay safe. Greetings from Norway
Really enjoy watching all your heavy recoveries ,and the scenarios of you fixing what breaks! You guys are the best at what you do you’ve got a hell of a team ! And I love your new dog he is awesome👍🏼🤩❤️
You guys are the best between what you build, and your recoveries very few even come close to what you guys do ! so keep up the great work and great videos👍🏼🤩
Beautiful pup, would love to see him strapped in a Gunner Kennel in the back. It’s fine until it isn’t.
I can't believe you put that dog in the bed, what if you get in a crash?? Guess he doesn't love that dog as he makes us believe. My dogs are always in the back seat of our truck.
@@bertveldhuizen8699 Hard for you to picture this but your dog is literally no safer in an accident in the car vs outside the car.
With the expressed aggressiveness potential of the dog I am surprised he is left unrestrained in the open bed of a pickup while driving around.
I have a 185 lb French/English Mastiff. He rides in the back weather permitting. It is far safer for him and my children. Imagine him flying around the cab in an accident 😳. And before you tell me to harness him in seat restraints I invite you to come show me how its done!
@Cory Lovely they make harnesses for this very thing. Or at the very least a crate strapped in to the box.
Zions a beautiful boy, but Boerboels only have around 450 psi bite force the Kangals & wolves are around the 750ish range give or take. Great breed though especially for protection work specifically
Presser Canerio are in the extreme range as well.
Thanks again for another great Vlog Heavy D!!! Liked this change of pace to see you guys fixing the wrecker. Love the variety of Vlogs you have!!! Keep them coming!!!
As a South African so good to see a puppy from home! I have 2 females best doggos ever!! Boerboel's are awesome units
Mastiffs are amazing! I have a 140lb 4yr old Cane Corso now and had a 160 Daniff before her. Training is key!!!! Such beautiful dogs that are very smart and very protective, all the more reason to properly integrate them with new human introductions.
We have two Cane pups!! Aren’t they the absolute best? So intelligent & pick up on every emotion plus they are beautiful. Ours are 2 1/2 yrs & they are our kids, lol. Have a great weekend!
I Have had Mastiffs all my life, I currently have a Dogue de Bordeaux. They are amazing Pets. You can see in That Heavy D loves his Dog. But the only thing that pissed me off was having his Dog in the Bed of His Truck and not Secured. When i see People that rave on about how much they love their Dog and then do this I am just Dumbfounded.
Amazing place, so serene and beautiful with vistas out of this world. The magnificence of the natural world, I love these journeys you take us all on. Well done Dave and all the crew. Zion of course was always bound to get a mention, what a gorgeous dog and powerful animal and great friend, we're all so fortunate to have companions like him in our lives. Loving these adventures folks, thanks as always, take care.
Yeah hit her up immediately there Sparks yeah so you can buy more stolen equipment so I can put you in jail that's exactly what I will do I told you I'm not playing Sparks now I'm going to tell you I want all my goddamn stuff back I'll take all the cabovers back down I'm not going to play anymore I'm done playing with you I'm done with it no I'll call
Whoever edits your footage does an excellent job. Very entertaining, and keeps one from getting bored and clicking away. Great work!
this new type of video is so sick!! i love watching y’all fix all the stuff you break haha
They inadvertently made that crane even *more* of an attraction now that it's out of the ground right side up. 😆
And the epic video of course.
Running an aggressive recovery company puts you on the edge of your capacity most of the time. 😁
Thinking through the problem the surface of the lake bed has a limited capacity for supporting a load. Pounds per square inch is "X". If the weight of the load is greater than X it will sink until either the load is balanced by the increased support of more surface area from the load sinking into the surface, or the load is spread out over more surface.
That is the theory behind pads under the outriggers. 😁
In Michigan we have muck soil that buries tractors and combines. To overcome that the equipment manufacturers added tracks to the tractors and also installed them on manure spreaders that are used in the spring on tilled soil that is waterlogged from the snow melt.
Installing tracks on the tow vehicle like a snow cat will increase the flotation and traction capacity. Adding tracks to the load carrying vehicle, i.e. trailer, or using multiple wheels to spread the load over more surface are the standard. In your line of work once you have reached the load capacity of the surface structure you sink and become part of the problem. 😑
As a thought experiment lets look at a way to know what the forces are.
I weigh about 280. My size 13 feet cover about 48 sq. in. each. For a total of 96 sq. in. If I am standing on a soft surface like the lake bed I am going to assume it will support me since you were not sinking even while walking. Humans are all similar enough in proportion that I will assume we create a similar load on a surface.
280 divided by 48 equals 5.83 pounds per sq. in. With that bit of thinking it will require 343 sq. in. per ton of static load.
Moving loads create greater forces due to multiple factors, i.e. variable capacity of the surface, side loading from turning, braking, and acceleration.
A 30,000 load will require 36 sq. ft of surface area to support the load.
Adding to that so we can overcome the moving forces and a healthy "OH CRAP!" we can double the surface needed. 72 sq. ft of skid plate would work.
Suction from dragging the skid plate across the lake bed is an issue.
Like a machinist's ground and polished gage blocks, the wiping action of the skid plate forces the air from underneath itself creating a vacuum. it can reach up to 15 psi of additional down force on the skid plate. It only occurs while moving. 😁
Fortunately it can be overcome by injecting low pressure air. We only have to overcome 15 psi. A hovercraft is able to do that with ducted fans.
Build a skid plate with ducted fans capable of creating 20.83 psi and the 30,000 load is floating on a cushion of nearly zero friction air.
Four 3'x6' pads at 18 square foot each attached to a lifting frame with a total width of 12 feet to spread the load for stability will pick up 30,000 lbs and require only enough moving force to overcome inertia.
A larger load would require more surface area but the math still works.
Loved Zion. I have a client who lives near Seattle who has a mastiff rescue shelter. She's an amazing lady and her dogs are incredible. Really enjoyed meeting them.
I used to drill water wells, did one in Midvale, sandy, Ogden. We use what they call " maining boards" timbers cut the length of the drill rig cause we have the out riggers all around the rig to keep it 90° to the ground. Maining boards would give your out riggers the advantage of keeping your tow bed attached to the frame. Just sayin. Big fan, keep up the awesome work.
i was hoping you would do a video of this, would love to see more videos of you and the guys fixing the carnage of the recoveries
As a mobile heavy equipment and hydraulic mechanic. I am loving this content. They all seem so cool and fun to work with. Thanks guys.
i love seeing all of your recovery vids and i hope you do more so i can see what kind of shenanigans you guys can come up with. that being said i also want to see more restoration and modification videos because i'm very interested in the vehicles and equipment you utilise, for example i liked your collapsed mine reopening video because i could see how your Sanny Excavator worked and how you used its capabilities. another example is your Kenworth Semi and how versatile it is, you could attach a lowboy trailer and get the Sanny and two Polaris ATVs on there comfortably and still have room for some tools, or you could strap a regular old semi-trailer/flatbed to it to move tools and parts and all those kinds of things. sorry i'm rambling, anyway, i personally want to see how you choose your vehicles for each job and how you modify them to suit your needs.
sorry for the word wall

cranes I've worked with used both plastic pads and wood pads, I think it came down to what was available when then needed them. they all had an off center hole, and at the back there was a round bar they slid on, then a pin at the end to hold the pads on the truck. they also packed a bunch of cribbing for leveling the crane between the 5 outriggers.
Just so you know...we freaking LOVE this channel more than anything! Keep on keppin on brother! Keep RUclips alive with your shit! One love!
It's Awesome, how you build these Super Trucks. Then use and abuse them, past their breaking point. Then rebuild and repair them even better.
For the outriggers on our fire service aerials, we used a 2'x2' aluminum plate with a hand-hold notched out of the one bent up edge and these just slide into a angle iron slot under the deck.
You do realize that is ZION'S truck and he just LETS you drive HIM around in it! I would make sure that EVERY bolt on that bed is grade 8 or better!
I love seeing the respect and discipline you show your dog. You give him 100 percent and he gives you 110. It's awesome!!
A SHOCK COLLAR? RESPECT?
@Michiel OSH most shock collars do more than just shock, I have to use one for my St bermastiff as well, it beeps and does a vibrate as well, most the time u just have to do the beep, or the vibrate for our boy is actually more effective than the shock... its a lot better than not being able to control in a time where u absolutely have to get him to stop doing what he is without someone getting hurt
@@thefightingplumber I knew there’d be one of you 🤡 somewhere in the comments
@@thefightingplumber All these comments about how shock collars are bad and you don't know how to train your dog know absolutely nothing about raising an aggressive bread. Just wannabe know it alls on the internet thinking they know what they're talking about. first off they don't hurt the dog like they do humans. that shock collar is necessary in it's training. or would you rather it freak out bite someone and be put to sleep for attacking a human? You think you train every breed of dog the same you can train a golden retriever??? Lmfao get real. There's a reason expert dog trainers still use them and there's a reason they're not outlawed and still sold. Because they're necessary in some situations. That is of course unless you want an aggressive dog that get's no love and just attacks everyone until it's eventually put to sleep.
This doggie needs to be respected enough to ride in the cab for his safety and comfort.
As a diesel mechanic who works on wreckers I recommend wood or metal plate because we have a few rotators with the plastic ones and in offered conditions they fold, flex, and will not hold up a whole lot of weight
I love this guy! You're an inspiration to so many my friend! Keep this good stuff coming to us, it's such great content!
The nylon outrigger pads are really good. Get round ones so you can roll them around. You can also put a 12v starter on and delete the 24v all together, it makes life much easier.
I would watch a whole series of you rebuilding this whole truck
the way your videos are cut is just amazing and fun to watch, keep up that great work!
The Alan-Hunter duo is gold
Man I was looking forward to part two of this!! That is such a badass wrecker and I look forward to you making it better every opportunity you get. Thanks for bringing us on the journey 👌🏼
When you all figure out how to run that truck properly, it's going to be incredible.
Also you need some boxed claws for those stiff legs, check out the stuff IrishIronWrecker is building for an example.
You don’t even know dude sit down fool
Mastercreamer there ammatures lol
@@mastercreamer1398 nah he’s right. They don’t have a fuckin clue how to run that unit. That truck broke from stupidity and operator error.
They could have done this recovery with snatch blocks and proper use of the winches without breaking the truck. A bigger tool isn't the answer if you don't know how to use it properly in the first place. There's no disrespect to Dave or the crew here, you don't know what you don't know, now if it keeps happening then it's a training issue they choose not to address.
Your dog is gorgeous! Always been into the bully breeds, I've got two olde English bulldog/Staffordshire mixes. Nicest, most kind dogs around children, but if you decide to break into the house, its over lol!!!
And props to you for taking him to work and doing stuff with him. Most people with these types of dogs never take them anywhere.
My best dog was a Chow-Shepard-StBernard female. We were telepathic. She would detect with her senses, then look at me for direction. Great with kids.
Yes, I agree, I watched a lot of new videos with him in them so I was confused when you went out to his mountain and said it was the first time you’d met him. Then, of course, I saw where you explained that he had come to work for you and he is a great addition to your family. 😊
mastiff's are the most lovable dogs i have a 9.5 year old female that weighs about 140 pounds . As happy as these guys are to meet new people these pups are just gentle giants. but can be great security dogs . Mine wouldn't hurt a fly but she will certainly protect who she has too . keep up the good work guys cant wait to see more content and hopefully more of your pupper
Boerboel always has his care taker in mind. They really like to use their weight as well, can easily make a grown man feel completely inferior. Great too see people be mindful of what they are capable of as they come forward very friendly until they are not.
You're going to use U bolts along with the side bolts on the tow truck right.
Absolutely love the build or fix videos. So fun to watch. Thx
So i didnt go through all the tons of comments so maybe some one already said this. The pads with the cleats on them are normally used for ice. We have 4x6 oak boards we use for cribbing under our trucks that work pretty good for getting your ground pressure spread out as well. Not to mention its also a good thing to have a bunch of beefy lumber around to just use on random situations.
I’m honestly impressed how strong that rope was! And honestly the damage it did to the wrecker! Keep up the great work I love the videos!!
Honestly?
The rope didn't break the truck the angle of the pull broke the truck to much leaverage
@@masterbates7016 well technically it broke something on the truck it may not of been the full damage but it had a part of why it broke
I find it really cool that they flew by Allens place. Then had the tour after some months. Now the man has become a really cool friend and he trully Make a great addition to what you guys are up to.
I dig it.
Let Allen know I need a rear driveshaft for a 83 RamCharger. I saw some of those around.
I love the starting gooro cams please continue with them, it’s always the best part of editing is the off guard starts, I have a bunch from my edits I made for insta gram and you can always catch a good laugh from it
It made my day to get this reply man, keep up the good work I love all the recovery videos recently and that Oshkosh is a monster man my family owns a 69 deuce and a half and the hett’ and 7 tons just tower over that thing
I do love Zion..he's the most gorgeous boy. We did 'meet' him at the house once - but I'd be rapt if we could see more of him. A bear of a dog for a bear of a man : ) I have a large breed, and I agree - training is essential, and "No, please don't pat my dog!" If he decides he doesn't like your scent it will hurt - and I'm not putting my dog down because of you!
Dogs also decide if someone is trustworthy (when they are with their owner), if their owner greets someone in a "happy" way or in a guarded way, this why when they are alone they tend to greet strangers warily and also become very protective towards their family (pack) if an unannounced stranger comes too close. Off course there are dogs that swing either way, Golden Labradors are always happy to see a new person and German Shepherds, never. This is basically down to breeding through. Dogs also understand words, they understand the meaning (positive or negative, friendly or threatening). My last dog understood two languages, Italian and English and responded in a like manner by doing what she was asked to told to do in either language.
Boerboels are great dogs. But the do have a reputation down here in South Africa.
Next time try a Rhodesian Ridgeback also bred in Africa for Africa
Beautiful dog! Just a heads up if he is a registered dog with the AKC you could get busted for him being lose in the back of a open truck. My wife tells me this quite often. We have show collies. Really enjoy your videos.
It's not good for dogs ears Being blasted by wind especially when they have their heads hanging out of vehicle windows.
I really wish people would mind their own business!
I live in the country, every one drives around with dogs in the back I f their pickups!
@@mahbriggs maybe it's cause we like yourself give a shit about our animals and that's why people comment .It's amazing how people put up comments vids then get annoyed when someone says something contradictory, 🙄 can't handle the comments ? Then don't make any .simples.
@@batmscot6149
Which doesn't change the fact that if dogs didn't like to ride in the back of pickups or hang their heads out of car windows, they wouldn't do it!
Nor does it change the fact that a lot of people seem to criticize other people just to piss people off!
Such as criticizing people for letting dogs ride in the back of pickups!
Heck! When I was a kid, me and my brother used to ride in the back of Dad's pickup when ever he would let us, it was fun!
Having a dog restrained in some way while travelling in the back of a pickup/ute/truck is important for safety - both for the dogs and the humans around them. In Australia they've made it a law because there were people & dogs being injured or killed when dogs became unwitting projectiles & hazards in road accidents... it also stops them from falling out the back if you slam on the brakes, or jumping out into traffic when you pull up at the lights. And in the country, it stops them jumping out to chase every sheep or cow they can see!
I also had a friend with a carne corso The Italian Mastiff and he was a well-trained sweetheart that followed me everywhere I went. Whenever Jennifer wasn't around, I was the designated dog sitter. And you're absolutely right about Mastiffs. If not trained properly they can be a handful to say the very least. If you want one as a guard dog, then you have to be extremely careful when others are around as I'm sure you have found out
You need more videos with dogs. I love Hunter's face when he doesn't like your plan but doesn't want to tell you it's a bad idea.
Don’t know a thing about them but he’s a big boy to jump in back of the bed, fine for pup but maybe stairs in the future? Just curious- for all I know they need to jump and strain to stay mobile. Cheers
Yeah Baby South Africa !!!! Btw you almost pronounced the breed correctly. Those are huge amazing dogs.
He did pronounce it correctly, the English pronunciation of boer is boar.
@@spotty4710 thats what I was going to say. It is as close as we in the states will get it considering we pronounce things a bit different
@@Edna2u it goes the same for brittish English.
@@spotty4710 Non of you are from South Africa. Just saying...
@@ahmedmakada2724 why do you say soo, youre one of those people who go omg africa ooga booga people omg no technology omg omg, piss off.
