Matt! put a nice bright brake light on the tip of your boom! not only would it look cool, your towed vehicle driver would be able to see it easily no matter what the angles. Food for thought.
Good thinking 99.
There's even wireless magnetic mount brake lights that could be a good option
except when trail driving you would be on the brake a lot to control your speed. It won't help that much as you would think. They better start and bring their communication headsets like Rory uses them form Trailmater.
@@edewaal97 I like "Chatterbox"
Also, bring a couple of boat bumpers along with you to go between the boom in the hood of the car your towing. In this video as you were towing the Jeep, it looks like it came within a half inch of smacking.
Had that problem with fuel gauge accuracy on a restoration project. Called in my buddy to find problem. He is diagnostic expert and found the problem. The voltage of the sending unit must be same as gauge. After he inquired of dealer(all parts of fuel system were brand new) he discovered that the electrical values were not the same. We could match the value of new tank unit to original dash cluster fuel gauge. I wanted to replace old gauge with new cluster for ease of reading etc. In my 45 years of restoration of vehicles i try to get oem equipment but this project was an old and very cool step van food truck. Hopefully that helps someone. You're never too old to learn something new. Really nice to have accurate fuel reading, especially in areas where fuel might not be as accessible. Love your videos. Watching from Ontario Canada.
Old homie sent that rig with all the beans LoL
110%. It's very impressive to snap a Dana 60 lmao.
I think he was proud of that 28’!!
Old dude still
Hammerin’ it!!
Got a kick out of that guy.
@@shcaskey you know hes gonna get her rebuilt and go again lmao
@@paradiseprod6153 Damn right. The only thing good about being old is (usually) you have plenty of money for repairs. 🤣
I could tell those dogs LOVE their desert runs. Keeps them young too.
Great recoveries
Matt tells Katelynn to watch Rhett. Rhett proudly says that is like watching 3 or maybe 4 toddlers. Epic self-awareness.
More likely just a joke. I doubt he is that difficult to watch.
Being supervised allows one to blame the supervisor for mistakes 😎😂
Rhett looks like he could watch others to be honest.
I think I found a new way to explain myself
not much to worry about when Dad handles all of the liability ♥
Dear Matt. From I got my first Border Colly then I was 6 years old in the late sixthies and I lost my preliminær last one in cancer as a 13 year beautiful lady 2 years ago, I have loved these dogs behavior, intelligence and demeanor. I love the nice contact between you Matt and the dogs where you can see Peanuts Joy shining in her eyes over being a part of the recovery team. You can clearly see that Matt is a nice man who loves his dogs and understand what this dog-breed needs. They get all the water they want, and Matt understand that they need stimuli both by running and for their heads. They are known as the world's most intelligent dog breed and can easy learn more than 1000 words. After a good relationship like between Matt and Peanut, where we as their friends are talking with them daily and are showing them the meaning of what we are telling them, they will after some time gradually understand most and sometimes more of what you are telling them (after your behavior). It's a bit scary how much they can understand.
And no one need to doubt that Matt knows how to take care of these dear friends like the rest of his crew.
Audio mixing at 7:27, 7:47 and 7:55 gets a little funky. Accidentally overlayed some extra guitars-of-doom over the really nice laid back music theme... 😀
I thought my phone was glitching, glad it wasn't my fault
Happens to the best of us.
That was where the subliminal messages where put in ✓
When I tell you I was checking several browser tabs looking for the source lol
same i thought i was hacked and it was being funky
Your wrecker is a triumph of purposeful design. What a great machine.
I love watching that vehicle evolve.
I'm your fan in Japan! Originally from Utah though and I love seeing the old country. Very much impressed with your young crew and how much trust you put in them. Kids deliver when you let them!
Your name sound more Dutch to me hahaha I’m a fan from Netherlands
Oh yeah I’m totally of Dutch stock. The first VC came to America in early 1600’s. Just living and working in Japan these days!
I cannot get enough of Matt's loving life attitude and his attention to family all the while doing these crazy jobs in the baddest of bad (good) tow trucks. You can tell he loves what he is doing. We need more people like you and your family Matt.
This is a comment just for Rhett : your driving of Morrzilla was exemplary. Your dad's explanation of how you learned to pick out a path and judge the vehicle's balance was interesting, and answered the question of how you gained the skills at an unusually young age.
If I were to compliment you on your dogs, you take excellent care of your dogs. I live in Texas and we have similar Temps but our humidity is much higher. You allow your dogs their much needed exercise, and let them run when they want to run, and you always show you are giving them water breaks. Ignore the loonies that have no clue how to take care of a dog other than papering them like an infant.
Have you guys considered putting a camera on Peanut?
Might want to throw a GPS tracker on Max while you're at it.
😂
Peanut cam!
... and some protective cactus needle resistant booties, and a water coolant backpack. Oh, and a helmet with a strobe light. ;-)
Do it!
Love the way all of you communicate in a positive way. Good explanations of the process at the moment. Kids learn so much better when talked to nicely as you have done, letting them learn from their mistakes! Bravo! I was thinking to avoid a gas situation to attach a jerry can to the back cage.
Impressive sound from that Jeep. Someone has done an outstanding job on that rig.
LS conversion. Nice! Robbie in LV did a conversion on my 08 JKU a few years back. Did a great job.
So many positive comments from people who understand dogs accumulate to the environment they are in. They know how to care for themselves.
The dogs also know that area better than most people do. They know where the water is, and there have been many videos of them coming back to the vehicles soaking wet.
Matt, the crew at MORR, and the dogs have been doing what they do for years now and none of the dogs have ever appeared abused, neglected, or in any danger.
Thank you for taking the time to teach properly. Too many people simply say watch what i do. Putting them in the drivers seat and taking lead where they can will give them the confidence to grow and continue to learn. Mistakes happen. Life gives you tests first and the education after. The confidence your younger members show tells me you are doing it right. Give them room to grow and they will.
I love Matt's Off Road Recovery videos and watch every one of them. He has 1.72 million followers of Facebook. This video features an impressive 'old boy' saying he went airborne in his Jeep for about 28 feet in the dunes and this was the result. Matt's 'Worlds Largest' off road wrecker including the frame was hand built by him and his crew in his workshop.
I have to agree that the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.
Rhett is the man!!! Layed back, no worries, just having fun and making it work!!!
after watching this video, and seeing all of the different angles, steering obstacles, terrain, traction issues, i finally see what you originally had in mind when you wanted to build this wrecker. i dont think people realiize how much thought went into this before you said this cab is what i envision,,,,,,,,job well done sir!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Peanut always looks fine to me. Its great that you make water available to her all the time but a dog like her would most likely tell you if she wanted water. I love that you speak her language.
13:55 I don't live in the desert, I live well north of all lower 48. But my dog looks like that too on a summers day, even on winter days. Heat and dogs can be tricky but what people should remember is that insulation (fur) works both ways and dogs doesn't cool themselves through their fur.
You gotta love Peanut! That's one great dog!
Matt you are great with your dogs. You are just getting comments from people who are clueless and shouldn't own animals themselves. As a very rarely known bit of information about dogs. They do not cool down only by panting (even humans pant) dogs sweat through their paws we just don't see it. Panting helps them as much as it helps us. Love the videos thank you.
Two years ago Rory and Matt welded up this jeeps front axle..... there is even a video on it trail maters channel...
That is really interesting! What part of the axle was broken then?
@@jdougn2255 iirc the hydro steering bracket tie rod. video was titled So Matt Got A Call, Perfect For Trailmater.
By this axle do you mean this particular axle or just an axle?
I really can say im impressed with the breakage of a dana 60. Worked for ford since the late 80s and to this day ford has only made a few things that last. 1) 2.3 turbo 2) 3.0l ohv and a 9 inch differential. The flex is the only wagon/suv that was the best they ever built but didnt sell to many. Only way not to break the tubs off the 60 is to triple weld the tubs
Having seen Peanut in action for many months, she is not of concern. She respects the rigs and space they need, she knows how to regulate her own needs, and is just a lovable character with great body language and attitude. Such an awesome lass!
Yeah, those cow/sheep dogs are damn smart and really good natured too.
I love them old IH R models I use to drive them when I was a volunteer firefighter many moons ago. They both had 501 straight 6 engines that had 4 barrels on them but all straight cut gears in the transmission so you had to double clutch every shift.keep up the good work guys.
Loved Katelynn on Rhett watch!
Love how Katelynn has been able to get to so comfortable on cameras and share who she is with us!
It was nice to hear her natural laugh and smile instead of the forced ones she was using when first being filmed
She hasn't shared anything, but I can't blame her.
Lizzy for the win though.
There will never be another Lizzie, She is legendary! Unfortunately I struggle to transition to Kaitlin.
I live in a hot desert climate and my dogs love to run free like yours Matt. They let you know when they’re too hot.
They all instinctively know what to do no matter what the breed - dig a hole in the shade and they’re happy.
Of course there’s some dogs that just can’t cope in the heat. Pugs, bulldogs etc and huskies etc.
I’m familiar with dogs too, glad you explained to those that may not have Working Dogs. As it’s unfamiliar territory for most people to see their dogs WORK!
Peanut wouldn't want it any other way!!
@@ThatGuyFromArizona Amen!
win - win for that guy. he got to flippin' send it and see Matt while already wearing the shirt 😆
glad everyone was safe
I love how Katelynn has carved out a spot for herself on MORR. Lizzy's departure left so many of us heartbroken, but Kateynn is her own special brand of spunk and competency. It is a short list indeed of those who can pull off mechanical and driving competency along with endearing humor out in the rugged outdoors or shop while wearing pink trousers. Katelynn dominates that list!
Matt, you are a superdad, you make your kits learn so much, and you are such a wonderful teacher. I can see that your kits trust you and are learning well. And Rhatt is a smart son, he has learned so much from you. love your videos. Best wishes from Germany.
Help Rhett out put a small brakelight on the boom since he cant see over the hoods when you lift the vehicles. Also great job guys.
2 Good crews and 1 excellent teacher! Matt gives them life lessons that they will take with them long after we're gone.
It doesn't get any better than that! Thanks Matt and team for a good video!
Matt, I really appreciate the way in which you are empowering your team through on the job training!
Love the scenery. Love the recoveries. Love the projects back at the shop. Love watching Kaulin, Kaetlin & Rhett demonstrating confidence and competence in everything they do. Great family & businesss.
That old guy was really excited to see you.
Yeah he got on the show, but it will cost him out of his wallet and his body . To bad it was not on video like the white Jeep roll over the video before .
I think he was more excited about getting his one and only 15 seconds of fame!
3:49 it appears that the axle tube was not welded in properly. That doesn't look like a broken axle as much as one that fell apart mid use.
jumped a stock, v6 1989 Montero that far with zero issues.
All about the angles. We had a nice, low line.. perhaps two feet up at the apogee.
Cap
Hey Matt! Why not fabricate a dampening bar with a shock absorber that will connect to the rear of the wrecker and extend to the towed vehicle?
That way you don’t have to sweat hood or bumper damage to the customers rig while towing. I’m sure you could design and weld something up in an afternoon. 👍
So glad they built the heavy wrecker. The wrecker makes difficult jobs look painless. Way to go team!
I bought my lifted 4x4 73 F250 with a tubed front axle. It had a closed knuckle axle and the previous owner had been jumping it and broke it. I took a high pinion Dana 44 from a 77 F250 which gave me disk brakes and an open knuckle front axle and also set it up with a true power steering instead of "power assist."
It's fun watching the kids grow up. A great learning environment filled with love, humor, and endless streams of things for them to learn.
This is the best part of having kids. My oldest drove my (6 speed) car to the ice cream shop last night while I followed on my motorcycle. The boy has really taken to having a third pedal 🥹
Hello from New Zealand, love your show. Love the Wrecker and the Movair is a vehicle that i could see myself driving. Awesome, love it keep on doing what your good at.
Matt, I never ever once thought you were abusive toward your dog never you’re just not that kind of a person. You’re a good guy and peanut. She’s a sweetheart. The whole bunch of you are good people. This is six in a row.Jim from Kennerdell PA oh and the guy before me who suggested to put the little brake light up on the boom good idea
Great to see this channel going back to basics! Love it, and yes I recognize the diversity needed for the folks who want to see an LS engine put into a shoe box or stuffing a transfer case into a mousetrap.
Rhett nailed driving the side by side up the hill.great recovery 🤙😎
I agree and Rhett was showing the owners how to do it without rolling over.
Dana 60s do that when you cut the cast back to fit the conversion trusses/link mounts then dont weld the truss to the cast housing or reweld the tube back to the cast. You can see how short the truss lands on the short side of the tube
It’s always great to be able to see your dog’s needs, and knowing their environment.
1:31 So to make it clear, full = 3/8 reading, empty = 1/2 reading. So actual fuel level f based on reading r is something like f = 1-((r-3/8)*8). Just put a label with that formula on it next to the gauge and no one will be confused any more. 🙂
Love the way how relaxed she's sitting in the drivers seat and steering the monster wrecker....
I just dont understand how every one of these people have such charisma and the production value is amazing. Well 1.73 million thats pretty obvious but the whole family and every person on here is a natural on camera its just unheard of.
Watching all the way from Kenya 🇰🇪 Much love to the MORR team
Matt you need to start saving your old fuel level senders off of old cars because they usually all have different ohms and you test each one hooked up to your gauge out of the tank and the one that reads the closest full and empty is the one you run in the tank with!! Then cut some ⅛" weld wire to the right length with the float on it for the tank its going into!! My dad taught me that when I had that problem on my 1973 j4000 jeep!! Now my tank is full when its full and empty when its empty!
Rhett is...once again... Awesome!!
13:56 my brother's farm dogs are like that in the summer, which can be blistering in that mediterranean climate he's in, especially these last years. And you can always tell the older dogs from the younger ones, because they haven't been able to adapt. The young ones run and run and run for hours, the older ones even tho they're in peak shape (my brother's wife is a veterinarian), they're not able to do as well, proportionally.
I like how far Rhett has come
He’s not a kid anymore
He knows what he’s doing
Great recovery guys. God bless you all. Amen Amen Amen. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good video and KaitLynn got to drive the big wrecker! Good job getting them both recovered and on their way!
9:12 that was a cool shot with the wrecker rising out of the gully. But it's always good to see the wrecker do its thing, and we get to see it a lot in this one!
Lol you should go visit Cannon Beach, Oregon! I'm pretty sure our dog was the only one walking. The rest of them were in strollers! My little 13 lb Silky Terrier does 14 mile hikes with 5k elevation gain. Dogs are no different than people with respect to exercise and endurance.
I live in reedsport Oregon but drive to Newport every day.
Honestly very impressive how effortless you make all of this now adays. 5 years ago, that jeep would have almost been over your head! I know you always find a way to get it done, but sometimes it takes a night out in the wild.
Is it really that hard to make the gauges work correctly? I have a fuel cell in my race car and I modified the float to work with the tank by measuring the sweep and extending the bar. My stock fuel gauge for my 99 Trans Am reads perfectly. Although 2 passes at the drag strip and it's empty anyway. Startup/warm up, 2-step test, burnout, 2-step with 12PSI at launch and a full run, equals about 5 gallons. 12 gallon fuel cell. I think we need a whole show dedicated to fixing all the fuel gauges across the fleet. I challenge you! :)
With TH-cam, comments = currency. If the gauges were fixed what would everyone talk about? Just guessing...
100% piece of cake to fix the gauges.
just look to the marine industry, there is all sorts of types to measure tank content, use of float dont work well in a boat tank ,so they found other solutions to the problem, and most of them is adjustable, and well suited for a fuel cell.
Tom Tom could have but it's more exciting to drive out in the desert not knowing for sure .
You say that talking about the guy who has five unfinished work vehicles (the Bombi, the Wrecker, the Morvair, the Banana, and the Samarai), an unfinished potato truck, at least six unfinished Corvairs, and an unfinished shop. Literally the only thing done in that yard is the Golden Nugget. And you’re suggesting that it’s surprising he hasn’t messed with fuel gauges?
Yesterday a YT Short from VinWiki popped up and I watched on things going wrong off-road, from about 2- years ago. It was where you retrieved a Jeep that rolled over and seriously injured the driver. It even had a video clip where the incident happened. It badly damaged the Jeep, it had a fiberglass top and no roll bar. Just shows how dangerous any off-roading including your recoveries can be. Lucky you and your extended 'family' of staff are so skilled.
Indeed that broken axle was bad. Guess taking 28 feet in air isn't a good idea and tends to break things. Badly.
Breaking the center section of a Dana 60 is definitely a “Hold my beer.” moment.
I’ve seen videos of front axles breaking in the dunes and they were all really moving and launched hard.
Not necessarily. It is common to cut the casting 2" shorter on that drivers side of the housing to expose axle tube to weld links to. I have seen other SD dana 60s break like that.
You got to have one ton axles but you also have to have a brain I've been running a Chevy K10 with Factory 10 bolt axles on 35-in tires in a warmed over 350 for years and never broken axle yet because I use my brain when I'm off-roading when this is proof that you can break anything even Rockwell 5 ton axles I'm so sick of people saying that you've got to replace your half ton parts what you need to do is replace the brain and your lead foot
Katelynn needs to master omnivision. I learned to do this when I read where Sterling Moss used it when racing. This technique allows you to read your gauges at the same time you are looking at the road and your mirrors. You look straight ahead all the while taking in the surrounding area. It's not easy, but with practice you can manage it.
Your kids are great, including Katelynn, Your great, and your dogs are great too. Pity more parents don't give their kids real responsibility these days like it used to be. Loved the present of a clawless hammer Tom Tom left you as well !
You guys need some kind of a jeep flat towbar outfitted wirh some shocks and springs that would help a lot I think. You will figure out. Put ir on the wrecks bumpee, use a gitch on your towing rig. No more side moving but damped, no more touching bumpers over ridges.
Your dogs have the best life. You take great care of them.
Matt, the affection you lavish on your hounds clearly shows you're a top-notch caretaker for them.
Love it, Matt. Dogs cool off the same way humans do, with short pants.
"short pants!" lol
Thank you Matt and crew for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and amazed at the broken housing !
Ouch is the word of the day coupled with the look on Katelynn’s face. 😂😂😂. Keep it up MORR
What a great video...that old timer launched that beautiful jeep..and the rolled side by side ..the nice thing everyone was ok..Matt and team to the rescue and peanut
Matt’s off-road recovery is my Top Gear replacement. Love Matt’s off-road recovery.
The grand tour is the top gear replacement and nothing will ever replace either one.
Great recoveries.
Katelyn, How is driving the Wrecker differ from any of the other "crawlers" you have driven?
Great idea on a brake light on the boom.
Love peanut being part of crew. Kaitlyn is growing into a great part of team. Her driving abilities are great.😊😊😊😊
Great to see the kids learning the Morrnster operation, such a capable rig, good work! 👍
So now he's expecting us to watch a recovery without knowng what the weather's like
😂😂😂
Expecting Fonzi to cruise through on waterski’s anytime now.
Backup fuel tanks are good to have. They do add weight an you can have a fuel hose to fuel up other vehicles an hook it up to your tank directly.....
Matt , Rhett is such a good young man , You & Jami raised him well !! I LOVE YOU ALL @ M.O.R.R. !!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
My Jeep has the same Ford Dana 60 that has the casting cut down around the tube like that one has. Seeing that break makes me want to do more bracing on it.
❤ from South Africa. Your rigs are amazing.
Peanut is a dog that is living it's best life, just getting to be a dog and doing what dogs love to do. You can tell she is happy by how she behaves around everyone on the channel.
This ol' guy is just out there living his best life!! Kudos to him, shame the axle broke, but he was killin' it!
I am so impressed with Katelynn and her abilities, she and Rhett (and Peanut) bring the channel to a new level.
I still think it be beneficial to come up with a hard tow bar for more traditional tows (for example when in a non-rock crawling situation) to alleviate the potential of the towed vehicle from smashing into the wrecker. I’ve noticed a number of situations where that would just make things a lot easier and safer. You could have one that flips down when needed or stays flipped up and stowed when not like on a traditional wrecker body. Then you could use your ropes/straps when they make more sense.
Right!
Yeah Rhett....and Katlin good to see you pilot the wrecker
Need a brake light on the boom for Rhett 😂
Thanks for all the info on reading gas gages.....who knew. Just for fun. How much gas do you go thru in a month for your fleet?? 12,000 gallons???
Matt... What you described is a borken fuel gauge... 🤣
For a fuel gauge to work it needs to move and point to an indicator letting you know how much fuel you have. Technically the gauge does all it needs to, just in a really bad way.
You can get a gauge or sending unit starting under $20 kits with both starting under $30. I'm sure they have at least 3 colors of wire on spools in the shop.
You can buy the gauge and sending unit to match. They all say what the resistance is empty and full when you buy them. Just buy the matched sending u it for the gauge.
A few years ago I found a guage that was adjustable to match whatever sending unit you had. They aren't that hard to set up. It would drive me crazy to have a guage not reading properly!
Very nice...glad to see Matt get everyone involved in these recoveries...learn while doing.
I like the DJ Scratching of the music tracks on this one.
Someone was learning how to edit :))
A tired dog is a happy dog, Matt you are a good dog owner. Your dogs are all happy and healthy pups.
" fuel gauge works" then explains how it absolutely doesn’t work.😂
I would have liked more detail on what and where it broke for future wheelers to know what to look for during inspection, again fun video 🤩
Nice to see Safety Director Peanut working hard.
I don’t know if it’s possible with the ground you have out there. But here in the uk on the dirt trails there’s a guy who made a rake that goes on the back of his 4x4 that after a day of ripping up dirt he goes over it and flattens it out on the way out. Almost like a trail repair.
