    The fact that Matt and his team has built this magnificent machine in that small shop with basically a handheld plasma cutter and other hand tools is incredible. It's obvious Matt has had this vision in his head for a long time because the details are well thought out. I'm sure some of that is Tom Tom's engineering skills, but a lot of it is also a well thought out idea on Matt's part. It's fun to watch him get to have fun here at the end doing basically cosmetic stuff. It's nice when a project gets to this point because many of them don't. So grateful that I have been able to watch this and expect this rig to be in every off-road publications once it's complete. Can't wait to see it in action.

      I’d like a shot of clear on it. Even in the desert it will flash rust fast. One thing they shoulda done (I’m way too late, clear back to the frame) is put a shot of oil in each closed boxing before the final weld. If it’s right by the weld, it’ll vaporized and protect the entire section.

    when you guys finally do "finish" the back of the wrecker you should coat the metal with linseed oil like they did back in the day instead of putting color to it, that way it keeps the bare metal look while still offering protection

    Matt I actually really like the rusty look around all the boom area and all the welded in rivets!! I think I would run the wrecker longer out in the weather and let the rust get longer rust runs on all the steel and then definitely do a really heavy coat of clear coat on it!!! That would definitely look sweet for sure!!! Just an idea!!! Awesome video buddy and remember 2nd is always better than 3rd!!! Lol!!

    Matt, Like every big, complex, unique, one off project ever dreamed into existence and built by an eyeball engineer, the details take forever, often being changed and rebuilt several times as the machine evolves...90% done, 90% to go..... You are now at the stage where you start considering the advice of others....I have only one suggestion. The drivers seat...... If you ever hope to drive it very far, you need more room.... Simple to get another 4" of leg room. Hell, two more inches would help a lot. Your head is about 8" from the back window... Two inches is plenty, with a nice headrest. Likely running out of time to go full custom, like I have done a couple times on/in Experimental Aircraft. Later, no problem... There are affordable, commercial bolt in options that will give 3-4 inches of legroom. Some boat seats come to mind....... Yes, it almost looks like you have enough room, when you pose in the seat, sitting straight up, pushed back, with your belly sucked in to keep it off the steering wheel, but comfortable?.... It reminds me of the proverbial "monkey humpin' a football"...... 4 more inches legroom would make that disturbing image fade away. This would be the easiest fix of all the recent change. My 02c worth. That truck will be amazing. With that clearance and low cg, it should out most crawlers, climb big obstacles, and retrieve the previously impossible....Cheers, ...JE

It has four sensors so reacts instantly regardless of angle. The grind setting button is super easy to reach (without having to look). It is super light, and has a cool steampunk design on it. It cost me NZ$256, but has by far the best spec for the price I could find.
