This comment is unrelated to the video but relates to Matt. When we were traveling in Utah recently, we stopped at Maverik in Hurricane to get one of Matt’s favorite “Victory” pies (or JJ’s Bakery pies). Then, every time we filled up at a Maverik in Utah I got another one…and another. Today for Father’s Day my sweet wife gave me a dozen assorted Victory pies! Every flavor. Since we live over 1,600 miles from Hurricane, she ordered them. I’ll be sharing them with the family today and thinking of Matt.
Gay.
@@T_bonethis isn’t that channel “t_bone”
@@kokobanana1824 don't worry he's talking about himself
@@T_bone yes you are flaming fruit cake
Happy father's day! 🎉
Be one of the good ones 💪
Watching today for my Dad Tom who we lost just a week ago😢 he absolutely loved your channel guys, we bought him merch and he wore it proudly. Happy fathers day to every dad out there! Thanks for a great show Matt and crew!
Thanks for the Father’s Day wishes.
Sorry for your loss SDS. I’ve been through many father’s days without my dad. It is never easy. Of course, we always miss them more when they were great dads, as it sounds like yours was.
Happy Father’s Day! Keep the memory of a great day strong and fresh. I still miss my dad every day, especially today! 😢
@@hgj2019 thank you so much it's been difficult because we live far from him so I didn't get to really say goodbye because he went downhill very quickly. Luckily I did get to tell him I loved him on the phone a couple weeks before his Dementia really hit hard. 😮💨
@@hgj2019well said-been 6 years and i think about him everyday-always good memories
@@southerndualsport3827 if it helps, sometimes being right there is pretty hard too. My dad was in ICU after a cardiac surgery. Two weeks to the day after he and I worked on a home improvement project all day I watched him pass. Nothing I could do but be there. Intubated for a respirator he couldn’t even speak. He was the kind of guy who always had some wisdom to share. I wanted desperately to “save” him but I was helpless. He was 68. I turned 69 this year.
Just remember your times together with love. Sometimes even if we are within reach they are still lost.
When I first started watching this channel (back when Hector was a pup), I found myself talking to the screen, saying things like, “WHAT!?”, “WHY-Y-Y-Y (sob) WHY-Y-Y”, and “no, don’t do that…NO!!! DON’T DO THAT!!!”. Now, I just sit here with a bemused smile on my face, secure in the knowledge that the result will be 11% better than I thought, and very, very, VERY glad that I never had to train Matt as an aircraft mechanic!
Jake the battery charger..... that fits!! He 's a heck of an amazing addition to the Team.
He can literally do anything he's told AND do it with a smile. I really like that guys energy.
I do believe the correct vernacular for something between "press fit" and "slip fit"...... would be "struggle fit'.
That is an advanced automotive technical term.
That is actually hilarious, I need to remember that😂
There are actually 3 categories of fit: Clearance, transition and interference.
That's the formal terminology.
I like your joke though
I do enjoy when Matt chit chats with us about what is going on and what the shop is doing and why. Happy Father's Day all!
Jake is a real life hypeman and im all for it. Hes also a hard worker, and hes down for anything. Hes a keeper. We like Jake. Jake is good 👍
I think Jake is going to be a great long term member of the family. So cool you guys made the sauce shirt.
SERVICE TRUCK! You should use that old cabover to build an off-road service truck as companion to the off-road wrencher. Put on a service bed with doors and a boom crane. Add a second row of seats for the crew. It could be set up for trailside repairs!
Make it a FOOD TRUCK
How often have you run out of gas? Perhaps an off-road Fuel Truck? Or a water Buffalo?
Rhett should convert it to an overlander 😂
I like the service truck idea, but I also like the idea of building it like one of those Tatra off road rigs.
@@peterwaugh9416 Service truck with a food prep area. My buddy worked as service tech for paving crews and had a grill and fridge on his.
After watching for years now, we have seen "the crew" change but there's ALWAYS been people who fit in, learn and contribute to the channel. The reason is Matt, Jamie and a small town. Treat people like human beings, respect people like human beings and they will prosper. Thanks Matt, Jamie and the boys! !! !!!
AND I am always amazed at the Keyboard Engineers who know EVERYTHING.
Yeah, Matt seems like a good boss to me 👍🏻
I just think about recoveries.... Show up to work on time and then work until it's done, forget plans after work... That's gotta suck
@@ellwoodwolf That's the way it works with a 24 hr towing company.
I bet they go to church together. Really wholesome people always 👊🏻
Oh yes, the shop is TINY for the work that comes out of it!! I was there when the wrecker was in progress and there was barely room to walk around it!!
It’s also amazing the quality of work and the ambitious projects that come out of the tiny shop, with bare bones fabrication equipment and only the people we see on the video; well minus Rudy who has his own shop now (wicked cool!!) and my friend Robert, rest in peace brother. Very cool folks!!! No off-screen fabrication crew, just a couple excellent office ladies and of course the incomparable Ed. The MORR team ROCKS!! Miss Lizzy, but so cool that she’s growing her family and doing their own thing too. It would be awesome if she could swing by and give an update, and Rudy too.
This rollback is going to be at least 11% better than the other one. Happy father's day Matt, and every other father over at MORR! Matt is the kind of father that every man "thinks" he is. Thanks for everything you share with us 🙏we appreciate you guys!
I am building a 53 white 3000 truck with a Holmes 750. It WAS a tandem axle water tanker. I actually like those cabs. The wrecker unit was in good condition but needs work. I am building a mechanical with hydraulic assist gearbox for the winches and hydraulic outrigger and boom extension (it is a extendable boom version).
The truck will have a dual PTO system.
The deck of the USMC MTVR, running on those axles, is right at 6 ft. It takes ladders or fork trucks to load most of everything. The wrecker based on that chassis is a tow behind style.
I was thinking the same thing, glad you knew the name of it because I wasn’t sure what to look up
I love how Matt interacts with the camera. Still feels like himself and not just trying to be a character on camera
I really enjoy how you've progressed over the years, expertise along with your equipment. The links you provide are much appreciated. These folks not only do amazing recovery work, they've built most of the equipment they use. An incredible group of people. Many thanks Matt.
For so long I get so much energy and happiness from the bits Jake is on video but was too lazy and ungrateful to pick up the phone and just write thank you.. But not today! Thank you Jake.
Love the “working in the shop”. Really enjoy Jake and Colby days on camera. Keep up the excellent work video peeps.
I really enjoyed Ed's commentary on the axle build. Doing quality control and keeping Matt on his toes!
The "Spud TrucK is coming along pretty good. I love all the live narration of what you're doing and the banter between you and the crew. Very entertaining! Keep up the good work!!!
Some of the questions you have to answer are painful to listen to. But you are a saint for keeping your patience up.
I love that Matt draws a very complicated power train design and just says, "It's gonna be fine.". That's confidence.
Its because he's going to keep modifying it until he finally decides to go with a proven solution
@@ellwoodwolfthis is a proven solution. Many have done it before him with great success
I worked at Sterling Axle for 17 years... I have total faith in everything you are doing and how you're doing it!!!
Seeing how far Matt, his family, his business, and his channel has come is truly incredible! much love from MN and Happy Fathers Day everyone!
I worked for a small trucking company in Eugene, Oregon after high school, washing their trucks and gofering. In 1973 they decided to convert their truck no. 1, an old White cabover without a sleeper (it had 1 about a million miles) from a flatbed into a mid-length wheelbase semi. They used an old school SAW to chop the frame. The saw blade, if memory serves, was about 4 feet long and massive sized, for a saw blade. It did a full back-and-forth motion in about 5 seconds. The mechanic had to stay right there and oil the blade frequently.
It took perhaps a week to cut thru both frame rails.
Woo, thank goodness for power tools! I wonder why they didn't just use a cutting torch?
Every time I see the clawless hammer in a video, I think of Tom Tom.
I just watched Tom Tom put that double hammer Matt gifted him to use.
@@rogermccaslin5963 Lol was just wondering if Tom Tom found those yet
I remember when Tom Tom first joined (around the time Tucker and Trevor left), and I felt he was a bad replacement for Trevor's energy and charisma. Over time Tom Tom became one of my favorite crew members. I do still miss Trevor, but I miss Tom Tom equally. I know they have their own channels, but it's not the same without Matt's antics. Same with Lizzie. I understand it's selfish but I wish they were all still around!
Matt, the quality of filming, editing, and especially humor has risen steadily over the years. Today's episode was hilarious! Loved the switch to VHS format at 24:05! That flag that they made for you is really cool, can't wait to see it installed. Great video today!
I met Jake just before the off road games, he is a special individual! The kind of person you just enjoy being around.
In South Africa we get 93 (inland 6000 foot above sea level) and 95 for coastal areas. We also used to get 98 octane for coastal areas, but since them removing the lead out of our fuel, that is no longer available. Back in the 60s and 70s, we got a sugar cane based fuel, 100 octane (Union Fuel), but it was expensive and you had to advance your ignition if you wanted to get the most out of the extra power. Most cities outside Durban only had about 3 or 4 Union Fuel fuel pumps.
In Sweden we have 95 and 98.
You have to be careful comparing octane ratings between countries because they are obtained using different procedures that produce different numbers.
Jake is such a great addition to the channel
Jake is the best. His attitude is great and he wants to learn. No better type of person to have around.
the word Matt was looking for to describe Jake is effervescent. Such a great dude.
They should sell the sauce shirts and give Jake a cut. Do them for everyone "on Wednesdays we wear pink" etc.
I like Jake, but let's be real he will leave at any time just like every one else that have left
@@larrygomez5521 Are you still working the same job you had in your 20s?
Edit: If so, have you aged beyond your 20s?
That old White Cabover is Art Deco at its finest! It deserves a place in the fleet, for certain! I'd love to see it in a two-tone paint scheme, something that would make a vintage Packard or Pierce-Arrow automobile green with envy. Such as yellow and cream, which would stay true to your signature colors. Turn Robby loose on it and let him show off a bit!! And thanks!!
I absolutely love seeing Ed in the videos. The way you all respect and include him is awesome.
"Sauce Containment System"... I'm learning a lot of new tech jargon from Jake.
I love the "Days without sitting on a cactus" moment at 31:32, with Matt turning to the camera with that smile.
Happy Father's Day to Matt and all the MORR Dads out there!
That White Cab Over cab is too good to waste, I look forward to a build with it as the center piece! And perhaps those 3 huge AWD military surplus axles as the foundation for it? Can't wait to see it! And Jake has added so much to the channel, we need to figure out a way to bottle up some of his energy and sell it!
I think having the offset rear axle as the front rear, then the normal one as the rear rear would be a better arrangement than your diagram. The carrier bearing for the driveshaft would be right down the centerline and it would have to withstand a whole lot less articulation than if the offset axle is in the rear.
would this complicate locating the transfer case and splitter? I think he's running into space constraints because of the frame.
Centre bearing on axel will be short lived ,
@@CRneu nope, that'll just swap the driveshafts. Axles will stay in same places, just other arrangement of diffs.
@zokushatech my thoughts exactly.
Was thinking the same as he was drawing it
Little bit of context for fellow European watchers: EU and USA measure octane rating differently. There are two standards: RON and MON with similar test procedure, but different condition , MON having more demanding, resulting in lower ratings. EU uses RON and USA uses AKI which is basically average between RON and MON. 91 AKI ≈ 95 RON and 87 AKI ≈ 91 RON (which is in EU abandoned because of low demand since most EU engines have higher compression ratio and require 95 RON).
I can't believe they can't get 98 RON in Hurricane, it's at every servo in Australia with a select few selling 100 RON.
Thanks, that's super useful; I honestly thought the US just had worse fuel…
As the Crystals would sing: EU RON MON MON…EU RON MON.
@@hrothgar014 Actually laughing. I had that in my head too ;)
@@marvindebot3264 we can get whatever octane we want, jet fuels and nitromethane too, it’s just not conveniently sold at every gas station.
You rock Matt, Jake, and Colby.
Always attempt to comment. Peaked curiosity on the White cabover. We all or some of us anyway know that if you had a Passthrough Dif you would lose power to wheel the moment the front dif went out. Having friends with destroyed lunges gives me a unique perspective on painting in enclosed and non-PPE jobs. Most, but not all my friends have spent at least one year in a body shop. The ones that were religious about PPE don't have lung issues. One only worked 6 months in a shop but is now dealing with all types of respiratory conditions. He looks back and can only wish he had been more cautious.
All and all, still enjoy coming to this channel.
Matt, I drove an old Mack('74) that was 6x6. It may be helpful to look into that drivetrain. It worked well, and your chassis height would not be any higher than it is now
If Matt’s videos have taught me one thing it’s if you can’t tie a knot tie a lot, thanks Matt!!
@ 25:16 The dog Peanut " Is Exhausted " from all of his Overseer-ship work !
Jake is learning quickly! Good job dude.
The 11% segment was pretty funny. The "Nov: 28 1990" really nailed it.
Still smiling😊
Give us a time stamp, please...
24:07
Greetings Matt and Matt's Off Road Recovery family fans! Happy Father's Day!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and week!!
Not sure were you found Jake, but he might be the greatest hire ever. Helpful, energetic, eager to learn!
Love the old school VHS editing bit! Just need it to be “tracking” to stay in focus. Thank you for being a great YT channel!!
Super impressed you understand what airing down achieves. Few people do.
Ed’s lookin good!
Matt said the axle's done, Ed said wait a minute there you still need to add this and that... Sharp and wise!
Happy Fathers Day to us fathers . But anyway years ago like 40 I worked building grain trucks ,dump , and heavy reel trucks for phone and power companies. So we drilled alot of holes in frames , we all used what is called a board and chain to put down force on the drill . I think you fellas probably know what I'm talking about. They sure helped big time . maybe your plastic drills don't like that kind of abuse.
Matt's vision and knowledge is pretty commendable.
I like the conventional cab WAY more. I think that COE would be great for another project👍🏻
I laughed out loud when Jake cracked the mountain dew 😂 "what was that?" "I don't know" 😆
The regular cab is soooo much better
I know in America cabovers are a bit unusual and cool, but here in the UK there is nothing cooler than those big American longnoses (besides maybe a Scania T-cab)
5thHappy Father's Day MATTMAN,
Your the father figure to all of us out here on RUclips land.
Recovery's are what Fathers do.❤
Matt you and your crew and of course Ed are to be considered national treasures. You guys are amazing and extremely knowledgeable and entertaining
This is the channel that I actually see almost all the building of a build and actually progress and it feels like the build goes by quicker I love this channel
I love Jake! “Sauce Containment System” lol
Please buy a Mag drill Matt, it will save you so much sweat and tears lol
I love how you include Ed whenever he wants to be included! You and your show are what Americs needs more of!
Jake is the best, dude literally cheers me up every time I see him
I like these Q&A sessions mixed with construction 👍🏻
I love the blue cab its such an amazing truck!
I've never had the "Pleasure" of sitting on a cactus...
The only place I could have done that was also the place where I learned why you shouldn't do it...I live in Southern Ontario, Cacti are not Native to the area (too cold and wet)...
A friend of my Father had some Brain Cactus Plants and the first time I ever saw them, was also the time the Friend's new kitten decided to go exploring the Cacti...watching the kitten leap up onto the cactus and then INSTANTLY leap halfway across the room screaming like it was being burned alive taught me to treat the pokey-plants with caution...
Yes, the kitten was fine, none of the cactus spines got stuck in it's paws and other than limping and meowing piteously for a few hours every time it's pads touched something, it took no damage...it also never went within 6 feet of the Cacti for the rest of it's life either...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Matt you are a wonder to watch, I love the way you talk to and treat people, especially your boys, I hope you had an amazing Fathers day, keep being you, God bless you!
Me an my youngest son of 6 watch your video's every night before bed, he wants me to take him riding with you I keep trying to tell him first that a long ways away from Michigan an two just because we watch your video's doesn't mean we can just go hang out. But keep up the video's we appreciate it
Thanks Matt for having us! We appreciate you taking the time to meet us! We love Jake and it was super cool to see the build in person! Can't wait to see it all done!
You made a stunning piece of art. It truly looks magnifique! 👌
@@mademoisellekaya1438 Thank you so much!
Very nice wall art! It will look sweet in the new shop!
@@utahyork3338 Thank you so much!
OK WHAT THE HAY HAY!!!!
You just blew my mind and I’m sure it hope millions of others!
I never was thought or thought of an off road tire like that!
Thank you!
And yes Patagonians all the way!!!!
Matt since you are keeping the blue color for the roll back - I think it would look great with reflective yellow stripes to match your work shirt. That would be MORRIFIC!
Matt couldn’t Robbie’s just panel beet the door back into shape
Yeah a decent Body Shop should be able to do that pretty easily. No need to waste a good door.
That 1990's filter was hilarious. Spot on!
😂 SOOOO brought me back, I could almost feel the 10 Lbs on my shoulder 😂
I was dying 🤣
That gave me a good laugh.😂
You should do a fan collaboration project. When you said the crew was 7 years late it rang a bell. You probably could muster an awesome crew from your fanbase in Utah alone, a lot of us do our own work on projects and would jump at the chance, organize it and make it happen. If anyone can do it Matt can. Be great content too.
12:28 if you can't find a door, find a piece of metal that fits the dent, tack it in place, then pull it down with authority. In theory, if you match the vector, you'll undent it close enough for a panel beater action. That damage is pretty much fixable. Clean bend, nothing super mangled.
I like the double-driveshaft/offset differential idea because it's possible to break a driveshaft on one of the axles through accident or misuse, and you're still able to drive the other axle to get the vehicle out in theory. With the pass-through axle, there's just slightly less redundancy.
About holes in frame: you should avoid making them in stretch stressed parts of frame. That is bottom between axles and top on overhang part of frame.
Film crew: Love the TBC stamp --- only us old guys have a clue. Thanks for the nod.
The spud truck cab has to stay. It’s so cool. Especially in that colour. We don’t see anything like that in the uk. Can’t wait to see it in action but loving watching the build.
Why not make Unimog style steps on there? Just having a motorcycle style chain on both sides, so they can move forward and back, if they hit the ground, but you can step on them end they won't fold back (meaning sideways in vehicles terms) :)
To get rid of a long end of a strap without tying knots everywhere is to roll it up really short, reach through the middle, pull whatever is left between the roll and the ratchet through, and with that loop you just created, you put entirely around the roll of strap.
I've driven a flatbed for some time and never had a problem
I miss the kids, but Matt makes every video enjoyable. Thanks for making me smile on a Sunday night.
Well shoot, I should have kept watching before commenting, all three came back, just missing Karter.
It's a shame about the dent, but I'm glad the cab is staying the same and also staying blue. This truck is gonna look great!
Something I've always enjoyed about your business and your channel is that you work with the kids and young adults from your area in so many different ways. Whether you've hired them directly as part of your crew, or if you're giving back to the community in some way that helps the kids. Reminds me of my own childhood, working at a restaurant owned by a guy with a couple kids in school. Most of his staff were high school kids or recent graduates. It was a helpful transition from school to the real working world. That's what you're doing for these kids, and i love it!
So for a fuel cell you could build it to look like a row of Jerry cans strapped to the headache rack. 11% kooler 😎
Matt, you have a little of everything to laugh at, what a fun time I had today. 😆🤣😂
Great video as usual, thanks guys. As a master Carpenter and joiner retired, that must feel so weird using the hammer with the claws cut off. My hammers were all balanced so as to literally rock back and forth on the claws, that's how you tell a properly balanced hammer.
Jake seems like a great employee. I love his engaged responses and enthusiasm! Is he one of Matt's sons 😅
No
He was a a tow truck driver.
Ed is awesome! after quizing Matt on if he properly assembled that rear end he says....we'll ok then! lol
I love seeing the declawed hammer still serving a purpose. Don't sweat the bent door, stuff happens.
That space between press fit and slip fit - Hammer Fit
It needs the most seats available to bring customer and crew out
The headache rack will certainly double as a roll bar if needed. Looks awesome!
Best cure for cactus thorns: need to be cool and dry, but don’t try to wash. Get in the AC, naked, and gently apply gorilla tape, and pull it off. Don’t reuse tape. After a few applications, apply tape and rub it on before you pull it off. After you get the easy thorns you can shower and use drawing salve. After you use salve you have to have to get clean before you use more tape.
Happy Father's Day I think the COE would make an excellent cab especially if you add to the back of the COE cab to fill it into the headache rack so then it would seat more people and look extremely unique.
Jake is one cool guy. An asset to the channel. His smile cracks me up.
Matt thanks for answering questions that people are asking. Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there! Lot's of work going on with the off road rollback and things {Matt's ideas} are coming to life and will be a great addition on this roll back. Great video and explanations!
Well I can't relate to sitting on a cactus, but I can vouch for running into a cactus, when I was a kid! It also happened in the the Mojave desert (albeit in Yucca Valley, California)! Glad to hear Jake's cactus free for 2 weeks! I recall that it wasn't pleasant!
Nice to have the full team back in the shop
I gotta be honest, I was not a Jake fan, but over time he has grown on me and I really enjoy any segment he is in. Love his spirit of trying to make everything 11% more fun.
Same here. It took a while. Still working on Katelynn.
@@funkymedina2974Lizzy set a high bar for Katelynn to try to reach. Over time, she's proven her skills in other areas, even though she's not the "ready for anything" tomboy Lizzy is. As Katelynn has become more comfortable on camera, she's slowly winning me over.
Not a fan of Katelynn
Jake is ok. Not horrible. Katelynn is Katelyn
An old style cab over Fire Engine cab would be a dream but any old cab over looks sweet in my eyes.
Thank you Matt and crew for sharing this with me !
A friend of mine(old hotroder/fabricator) swapped one of those White cabs onto a Nissan rollback frame. Turned out awesome and looked sweet. BUT it was a a LOT of work. And by the looks of it, you don't have all the original brackets, crossmembers etc. The pivot/tilt/torsion hinge was a lot of work on its own.
