I've been in a wrecker for many years this type of recovery is something I've always wanted to do looks like a blast just good folks helping good folks having fun in the process your living the dream brother be safe have fun
I have to say after watching your videos that this is the best wrecker in all of TH-cam. That OBS Wrecker is pretty cool too even with broken steering.
@@steverone7623 A century 412 i got from a dot auction on a 83 gmc 3500 with a 6.5 n/a, bw 4 spd, chelsea pto, 18 gpm pump and 2 braden pto winches one on the deck and one on the fr. bumper 5/8 line on both.
Nice entertaining little piece of film. Your a good driver and kinda look like an OTR driver. No cussing and good footage! Besides the sea sick part lol
This reminds me of a friend of mine under the influence and he spun a clutch in his ranger miles in the mountain trails. I had a suzuki samurai, i am a tree man. I had to hook block pulleys at the top of the hills and pull him up as i drove down. I had a blast i think you are having fun also.
Give that baby the camera so she can make her own videos from her perspective. not only does she learn some great skills and hand/eye coorination but, she can express herself too!!
I just revisited this video and thought . Wow look at that little Jeep pull those 2 large gm trucks . Now I'm not hating . I own a GMC myself. But if that wasn't enough. They were wreckers. Jeesh! Great channel. Now back to some new stuff. Take care Jim
maybe mounts to hold "four" five gallon water jugs on the front bumper? about 165LBS added to front bumper area. water is about 8.3LBS per gallon, just carry the jugs empty then fill via mud-puddles as needed
I'd like to see a video of how that other wrecker's dual wheels are set up. I don't think they're better, but the outer wheel looks different than any I've seen for less than a 10 lug.
Never was a fan of full hydraulic, party due to a misconception of an incident I had when I was a kid. When I was about 10 or something I stalled out our IH tractor hauling manure down a hill. Well, obviously the power steering quit working. Well, I learned that day that, while "popping the clutch" can stall a motor, it can also start one. ;) Well, I had the mistaken impression that the steering was "full hydraulic" and I blamee my extreme steering difficulties on that. Still, I like the idea of a mechanical connection, which I think is required anyway if you want to be road legal. It also seems to be pretty common for people to just tap off the steering box making setting it up pretty easy. That tight squeeze in the woods reminded me of when I was a naughty young buck and _slightly_ less responsible than I am now. ;) I decided to take my jeep down some local park trails which were, of course, gated off. They had a nice metal gate and 4 x 4 posts spaced around it to keep out trucks. Well, they apparently didn't' think about Jeeps cuz I just drove right between the posts, lol. ;)
well been seeing your show for years now .....iv also got a one ton but its a 1964 gmc c30 with dullies ....my boom or crain what ever you wanna call it is at least 10-15 foot long those trucks are fun in the woods ..i lower the boom to fit under the limbs so not much woods for me
Looks like you could carry weight plates for the front of your truck, in case of heavy tows like the Chevy wrecker. A little light in the steering... lol Thanks for another great video tho!!!
buenos todos tus videos, es interezante que solo con una configuracion mecanica casi basica de tu chevy "off-road wreckers" hagas todo esos rescates , y lo que mas me sorprende que es automatica , tiene bastante fuerza , saludos
Should put you a 4spd straight drive in that ol girl with a granny gear,, not sure what they are called in the Chevys but simular to the T-18,,, love the video's, keep them coming! Bad ass rig by the way....
@Baby Seatcover, Yes, I'm seasick now! :):):) Honestly: Abby did it very well, Congrats! It was fun to watch and I saw many videos taken by adults much worse. She easily made it better!
and I like your videos please let you dry your wife that truck again that's a good video keep on getting the mud boys put a winch on the back you might need it I'm from millfield Ohio buddy we don't get stuck around here we went to yourself out
It would if it was a 2.5 or 5 ton. The pulling force from the back combined with the extra weight on the front would put a lot of extra torque on the fram. Think of it like a seesaw. With too much weight on both side the middle will eventually break. A 1 ton truck juat isnt strong enough for something like that. Good idea though.
great video. Just goes to show if you over build...(hydraulic only steering) sometimes it can bite ya. Great real world wheeling and people! ! ! Cheers
Brother you should most definitely have a tv show. They have hundreds of b.s reality shows and this is by far better than those highway recovery shows. Hope you get something from your videos besides our entertainment and your satisfaction; )
I've destroyed many pf them in various ways, from simple scored cranks, and spun bearings, to holes in the side of the block bigger than your ass after a night of drunken 'guess the size'... Pretty sure that when I was scooping up motor oil and aluminum frags and wristpins, i wasnt looking at my engine saying "Man, here I am, picking up the broken pieces, but you sure cant kill that thing". No, I wasn;t saying that cause it was fucking dead, done, annihlated, broken, fucked, desentigrated, raped, destroyed, locked, explodededed. Chevy motor + Horsepower = Wristpins on the floor and holes in the block. "Can't kill a Chevy motor." .......Bullshit.
Why wasnt that wrecker on the hook in 2wd helping th BSF wrecker they have radios and are even tho he cant steer he could help go up hills rather than being dead weight
I heard a mention about pushing the sling not being fun, I'm guessing that's why the other wrecker didn't help push up the hill. Because the sling pivots in the center it would be very easy to push the wrecker sideways.
As someone who has a off-road rig and had to recover before, her sitting on the back of the truck within reach of those cables and chains is not too smart. If something broke lose, it can seriously injure or kill someone.
Actualy the chances of somthing like that happening is very slim to none given the fact that Her Dad knows exactly what he is doing and has years worth of experince Also his equipment is very well maintaned The cable is freash and Chains and Hooks are like new and are in pefect working order ...My Dad Owned and opperated a Towtruck I Used to Ride along and climb allover his all the time just like She dose and There was never a singal issue For the most part TowRigs are Extreamly Safe
another good vid. that was actually some sexy stuff right there. I wouldn't have minded if you did a few minutes on that other wrecker, a walk around after you brought him out. was it just me or did it seem like the winch labored a little lifting it? was there something about that guys rig that made it heavier than it appeared? that would explain the winch laboring a little to lift it. good vid, keep up the good work.
Nuthin like a tow truck that needs to be towed... By the competition... I have had to make that embarrassing call myself.... Loose alternator belt. I was hosed.
very interested in how much you charge for recovering? Do you have hourly labor rate? Flate rate? What is the cost range in $ that you charge to recover?
recoveryteam I'm building a recovery vehicle down here in GA was wondering if you had any tips or anything of that nature for me ? the truck is a 83 4door dually 4x4 with a 350 and a 4speed
okay thanks I plan on staying away from body lifts I personally don't like them I have 35s on it now and 18000lb warn on the front haven't used it yet but the truck has been on some dirt roads here and there
David Cody Yates my advice for you.... keep the 4spd standard transmission. it'll last forever vs a automatic. plus the autos make the floor super hot off Rd. plus the sm465 has a 6.62 to 1 ratio 1st gear which is nice for pulling. I've been off reading for 24 years. standards can be a handful on the rocks but they make you a better driver in the end
@@offroadrecoveryteam I was wandering what motor you have in truck. I have a 77 vandura box truck with a 400 and just trying to get a idea of what it might do power wise. It will be hauling tons of tools and materials. Got hooked on watching your videos, keep up the good work. Was also wandering what you charge because some off road trucks tend to be really big.
This has to be one off my favourite recovery's through all the years.
Good luck on the Wrecker Games Eric 👍
I've been in a wrecker for many years this type of recovery is something I've always wanted to do looks like a blast just good folks helping good folks having fun in the process your living the dream brother be safe have fun
I really enjoy watching an expert recovery where the driver lets the machine actually work v/s over-revving, spinning tires, and tearing up the trail.
The "get away part" of the video was the best part.
Reminds me of my 5yr old daughter.
I have to say after watching your videos that this is the best wrecker in all of TH-cam. That OBS Wrecker is pretty cool too even with broken steering.
cant believe how fast your youngster is growing Eric Young'un will be wanting her own rig soon. Take care Darren
It's so awesome to see a lifted GMC tow truck hauling trucks off the trail, I've never seen a thing like it!
I'm on the wrecker at shawano speedway, with a GMC truck just like that but not lifted
The Aviator your from shawano? what a coincidence im from clintonville lmfao. amazing to fond someone so local on such a huge site
That's awesome
Great camera work by BSC. Nice that she got her camera-shy mom in a couple shots, just so we know the OG Seatcover is doing ok ;-)
I like those cool shooting angles that Abby found on the back of the truck.
ya she did a grate job
Baby seat cover did a wonderful job! Nice video Thanks.
Its amazing all the stuff you accomplish with that little wrecker. Good Job.
I think the camera work is fine, and the camera operators commentary is top notch!
she did a great job...enjoyed the video keep them coming ...
He does all this for tips.... what a great guy
BSC did some great camera work. Good for her!
baby seat cover done a good job!
+Celluloidhero249 ?
And now she's driving!
Why does this guy have less then 50k subscribers this dude is a genius
triston young I just subscribed . He deserves another subscriber .
Thats what I was wondering
@ how is your offroad wrecker setup?
@@steverone7623 A century 412 i got from a dot auction on a 83 gmc 3500 with a 6.5 n/a, bw 4 spd, chelsea pto, 18 gpm pump and 2 braden pto winches one on the deck and one on the fr. bumper 5/8 line on both.
@ post some videos. Eric built his from scratch, twice. If it's what you say it is, you bought it that way
Nice entertaining little piece of film. Your a good driver and kinda look like an OTR driver. No cussing and good footage! Besides the sea sick part lol
Baby Seat Cover isn't bad with the camera at all! She got a good shot by squeezing through that tiny back window.
baby seat cover has some serious video skills!😎✌
Road; Defined: "A space, wide enough between 2 trees, to fit a truck".
Abby's commentary is great.
Great camera work baby seat cover!! Way to help out with the biz!! Love your vids
The camera girl did a rite fine job what a good helper you got there.
Just tell Abbi/Evie she did great,and daddy was kidding around..Man she is growing up fast...Mine tuned 7 last Saturday...
Excellent job Abby!!
Your new cameraman is excellent! Far better than most on the tube!!
Your daughter did a good job filming.
Great filming by baby seat cover! You're lucky your whole family enjoys off roading.
thanks for the new video nice to see you back on 6 wheels again.
She did a great job with the camera and she sounds exactly like seat cover senior
The ultimate pound your chest moment.... I had to pull out your wrecker!!!!
Baby seatcover did good camera work!
lol, Abby did better aiming the camera than alot of adults. ;)

This guy needs a tv show
Definitely needs his own tow show i would have to buy a lifetime subscription to the channel
This reminds me of a friend of mine under the influence and he spun a clutch in his ranger miles in the mountain trails. I had a suzuki samurai, i am a tree man. I had to hook block pulleys at the top of the hills and pull him up as i drove down. I had a blast i think you are having fun also.

He's pulled more than a few Jeep's out too😁
great video baby seat cover did a good job
maybe mounts to hold "four" five gallon water jugs on the front bumper? about 165LBS added to front bumper area. water is about 8.3LBS per gallon, just carry the jugs empty then fill via mud-puddles as needed
throttle bottle or a couple fat chicks in the cab
has Bigfoot ever call u guys for a tow 😂 out there in the woods
I'd like to see a video of how that other wrecker's dual wheels are set up. I don't think they're better, but the outer wheel looks different than any I've seen for less than a 10 lug.
Oh my friend… letting the kid do the videography…. Just the best…
his steering only broke you should of had him earn his keep and put his truck in gear and help you up the sandy hills. Like your vids
Never was a fan of full hydraulic, party due to a misconception of an incident I had when I was a kid. When I was about 10 or something I stalled out our IH tractor hauling manure down a hill. Well, obviously the power steering quit working. Well, I learned that day that, while "popping the clutch" can stall a motor, it can also start one. ;)

Me R
i was thinking that too. tractor suitcase wieghts are about 120 a few would make a big difference
buenos todos tus videos, es interezante que solo con una configuracion mecanica casi basica de tu chevy "off-road wreckers" hagas todo esos rescates , y lo que mas me sorprende que es automatica , tiene bastante fuerza , saludos
Absolute Genius!
Should put you a 4spd straight drive in that ol girl with a granny gear,, not sure what they are called in the Chevys but simular to the T-18,,, love the video's, keep them coming! Bad ass rig by the way....
@Baby Seatcover, Yes, I'm seasick now! :):):)
Honestly: Abby did it very well, Congrats!
It was fun to watch and I saw many videos taken by adults much worse. She easily made it better!
she did a fine job!
Big like
Best job indid
yeah Abby did great with the camera GREAT JOB, BABY SEAT COVER
Great job, Abby. Dad will make a good camera person out of you yet.
Abby did perfect at holding the camera.
and I like your videos please let you dry your wife that truck again that's a good video keep on getting the mud boys put a winch on the back you might need it I'm from millfield Ohio buddy we don't get stuck around here we went to yourself out
I'm now expert in these matters. Wondering though if mounting a tractor weight rack on the front of your wrecker would be helpful?
cal raines seems like it would be
It would if it was a 2.5 or 5 ton. The pulling force from the back combined with the extra weight on the front would put a lot of extra torque on the fram. Think of it like a seesaw. With too much weight on both side the middle will eventually break. A 1 ton truck juat isnt strong enough for something like that. Good idea though.
And that is his second wrecker so I don't think he wants to wreck two wreckers
What is the little one like 7. She did a great job.
Hey you finally turned on your Hazard bar!!!! :)
Wonderful as that "old school" lightbar looks, might be time to change it out for something newer....
Oh and I like your boots!!
great video. Just goes to show if you over build...(hydraulic only steering) sometimes it can bite ya.
Great real world wheeling and people! ! ! Cheers
Awsome movie man...
Great camera skills kid. 👍
GREAT JOB, BABY SEAT COVER
Abby got a lot to learn .. She will get the hang of it by getting the hours of practice in.
awesome video brother
seat cover jr is adorable
This would be a sweet video to have in 3D
Great job by your new camera girl!
Brother you should most definitely have a tv show. They have hundreds of b.s reality shows and this is by far better than those highway recovery shows. Hope you get something from your videos besides our entertainment and your satisfaction; )
Actually she got some good new angles of the hook-up!
great vid Ole red saves another one!
That was some good camera work by your daughter there lol
I think Baby seat cover should do more videos like her commentary of what's going on. Lol
Need a "Tonawanda" (454) up front for some extra weight and power- but you can't kill a Chevy motor anyways!
Peewee.31 my stack of blown small and big blocks disagree. 😂
I've destroyed many pf them in various ways, from simple scored cranks, and spun bearings, to holes in the side of the block bigger than your ass after a night of drunken 'guess the size'... Pretty sure that when I was scooping up motor oil and aluminum frags and wristpins, i wasnt looking at my engine saying "Man, here I am, picking up the broken pieces, but you sure cant kill that thing". No, I wasn;t saying that cause it was fucking dead, done, annihlated, broken, fucked, desentigrated, raped, destroyed, locked, explodededed.
Chevy motor + Horsepower = Wristpins on the floor and holes in the block.
"Can't kill a Chevy motor." .......Bullshit.
The engine was doing worse than the camera girl!
When father wrecker needs to bring the young-in back home.
She did good with the camera
Why wasnt that wrecker on the hook in 2wd helping th BSF wrecker they have radios and are even tho he cant steer he could help go up hills rather than being dead weight
just thinking same thing and saw your comment
I heard a mention about pushing the sling not being fun, I'm guessing that's why the other wrecker didn't help push up the hill. Because the sling pivots in the center it would be very easy to push the wrecker sideways.
He says In the video that the tierod broke and the steering was disconnected.
Because he does not want him to drive up on his bed if he was flat towing that would help
keep the videos coming
baby seat cover did good

Eric, You Tube has an editing option where you can run the video through it & the option will "steady" "Baby Seat Cover's shooting skills".
Makes me nervous her standing there. If them chains were to pop. But what can I say I was raised the same damn way.
I would add a weights box in the front. keep the front down alot better. just a thought
Cool video
another good vid. that was actually some sexy stuff right there. I wouldn't have minded if you did a few minutes on that other wrecker, a walk around after you brought him out. was it just me or did it seem like the winch labored a little lifting it? was there something about that guys rig that made it heavier than it appeared? that would explain the winch laboring a little to lift it. good vid, keep up the good work.
have you ever considered airbags in the rear? I know they limit suspension travel but it may be a worthwhile trade-off!
Sounds like the wreckers need to invest in welders
nice homemade wrecker that guy had. His wheels were dragging.
Nuthin like a tow truck that needs to be towed... By the competition... I have had to make that embarrassing call myself.... Loose alternator belt. I was hosed.
very interested in how much you charge for recovering? Do you have hourly labor rate? Flate rate? What is the cost range in $ that you charge to recover?
As far as I understand most everything he does is free.
Where is this at? This looks like some fun trails
I subscribed
Thank you.
yup. she. did good!

Good truck to start with. My advice is to avoid body lifts, keep it simple, and maintain it. If you do that is should work good for you.

this place is so sick ,where is this
you ever think of putting some kind of a weight box on front of the wrecker for those heavy loads
