After watching Tom Tom’s punishment after forgetting the keys, I’m so intrigued to what punishment the editor is going to receive for not proof watching this episode before uploading it.
I want to thank Lizzy for being awesome!!! My 8 year old daughter really looks up to her. She wants to be an engineer and fabricator when she grows up, and it’s AWESOME to have role models like Lizzy!!
Get her started in CAD, it's not that difficult to learn and there's plenty of sample projects to practice with. I used FreeCAD but there's also Fusion360 that she can use for free. It may be too early for 8 year olds but you won't know until she tries it.
It will take a while to get the kinks out like it did on the MORRvair but you'll get it. I loved Rudy's answer to breaking the ORR: "Yeah, but you did get in a recovery". Always positive. I love it.
Jaime has got to be one of the sweetest people. She’s game for whatever. She’s not afraid to try new things. Always smiling always supportive. What an awesome member of your team and life. In fact, everyone on your teams seems incredible to work with and be around. Great video as always. Thank you 😊

Consciousness is thoughts, emotions, and everything in the world. This consciousness is one. Will consciousness be split in two? Consciousness is not divisible. Do you feel two consciousnesses when talking to a friend? Consciousness is felt only as one. Consciousness is one. I am Conscious and I am the World. Gospel of Thomas "For many of the first will be last, and will become a single one." Jesus said, "Two will recline on a couch; one will die, one will live." "For this reason I say, if one is whole, one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness." Jesus said, "Why do you wash the outside of the cup? Don't you understand that the one who made the inside is also the one who made the outside?" Jesus said, "I am the light that is over all things. I am all: from me all came forth, and to me all attained. Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there." A [person said] to him, "Tell my brothers to divide my father's possessions with me." He said to the person, "Mister, who made me a divider?" He turned to his disciples and said to them, "I'm not a divider, am I?"
What I find admirable is the fact that you guys started by putting a chassis together, then somehow placed the cab, the engine, etc. then all the gadgets and now you have a truly wonderful vehicle that can go practically anywhere. The breakdowns are to be expected and serve to iron out those issues that pop up in any prototype that is as radically "invented from scratch" as the WLORW....
The beast broken & calmed, but will rise again & lead out in the wrecker games. I was at the crowded Salt Lake Off Road Expo yesterday, with vendors & vehicles parked like (packed) sardines. We ran into Jamie, Lizzy, Tom & Matt at the MORR tent, and all were kind & respectful. In particular they were gracious to families with handicapped youth, young adults, that had come to meet Jamie & Matt (& Lizzy & Tom). The kindness & care they showed to "these families" (was genuine world class) outstanding.
They raised a bunch of money and had a disability park/playground built for disabled kids in there home town. They work with a charity someghing angels i cant remember the first oart of the name.
@@mattbrown783 I'm aware of that, a while back I sent in $ & contributed. The disabled should be given care and attention & that includes the mentally impaired. Jamie & Matt (from what I've seen) afford authentic time, care & resources to that 'group'.
@stephen lewis As the father of a mentally disabled daughter, I really appreciate your comments. My daughter is full of love and never meets a stranger. I always tell people that if everyone had a heart like her's the world would be a much better place! Thanks again!
I don't know if anyone has ever pointed it out, but man, Matt is an awesome boss/leader. He does not have the need to be center stage to everything. He gives everyone a chance to be the center of attention. The way he gives control of vehicles at times when most bosses/leaders want to be in control is awesome! This team he has, is some of the best co-operation I have ever witnessed. Keep it up guys!
@@06colkurtz Only option they could do.Gonna have to completly upgrade the whole drive line I'm guessing. Curious what the plan for upgrades are to fix this weak link. @Matt's Off Road Recovery
As they say I see an opportunity for improvement….. a rear camera set up with a screen in the cab, not just for use in reverse as it’s going to be useful to see what’s going on all the time during recovery’s.
The world needs more Lizzys. I am so encouraged by her work ethic. She is an amazing woman who gets the job done. Good luck for the upcoming wrecker challenge. May the best team win!
At the start of her joining the team she appeared to be just a pretty face. She has really learned a lot and does not appear to be afraid to take on any challenge. She is now capable in so many areas of their work. Her welding is impressive. She handles rescues and definitely a valuable member of the team. Great job as role model Lizzy.
@@facamp38 that’s a big amen to that. I love to see women take on the challenges of male dominated careers and in fact surpass men. Remember Rosie the Riveter !!!!
I absolutely LOVE this build! To spite the difficult field wrenching situation, y’all pulled it off!! Idc that it broke, like it did, any build has it’s short comings in the testing phase. I’m in the midst of putting a truck together with an 8.1L and seeing how Matt’s truck seemed to effortlessly snap those output shafts, i find his experience to be my gain as i know what to expect ant perhaps put some beefier shafts in my build to avoid the same problem. THANK YOU Matt for this content! Great vids buddy!!
Dang, Lizzie-- wish I could do HALF what you do.!!!! WOW-- you have really impressed me with your progress!!! The world needs more like you.. !!! GREAT JOB!!
I can’t get over just how far this channel has come, it’s pretty amazing. When I got recommended this channel you only had the banana for recoveries and the videos looked like you were using a cell phone . And now look at you guys. Incredible
Wow, some really kind and motivating words right there. Seems you came much earlier.. I got recommended when they were just about to hit a Milli... look at them now.
Yeah i remember when matt said he was filming these vids on his cell phone and editing them himself with some amateur software. They've come a long way.
@@Kevinr14 true,vids hitting million in views...in two days, definitely demands professionalism. Matt's a true witness you gotta start somewhere.. however humble.
i know right? remember when mr Matt kept filming without realizing all those videos were being stored on his phone as opposed to the cloud? as i recall they had a difficult time retrieving the footage, the phone was that out of space... :)
I really enjoy how you guys all work together with the other TH-camrs and respect each others right to use specific content on your individual channels. Awesome cooperation, and really gives a great representation of the people that y’all are.
I REALLY love the wrecker-videos and it comes out freaking awesome... ...but unfortunately from an engineer's point of view, I think it will be very common that we see something break on the wrecker. During the building process I thought to myself "ohh this is going to be critical" a few times. I have absolut no idea about offroading, so i hope Matt proves me wrong.
@@12Cortana for sure!! Matt was certainly behind the 8 ball since the manufacturer never sent the assembly manual. 😄😁🤣 I think when it's all said and done they'll get the bugs out and fix the weak links. It'll be a solid and reliable tool in the fleet.
@@stevedeornellis8657 Matts other builds seem very reliable, and the Morvair takes a heck of a beating sometimes, but you don't see Matts rigs break often, and when you do it is mostly because of worn out parts as his rigs are used hard and often.
@@12Cortana I haven't seen any stress analysis done during the build. Matt seems to have a good eye for load paths when he's fabricating the chassis, bodywork and lift structure, and then he just goes with 'you can't go wrong with big and strong.' But the drive train is a different matter, especially with the very untypical shock loading that he subjects it to. It might actually be OK for its stated use as a recovery vehicle, but I think he's just going to keep breaking stuff if he keeps doing the heavy rock crawling. He might be able beef up parts at the failure points but he'll just keep chasing the weak points in the system until he realizes that he has to upgrade the whole drive train.
Tom has really turned out to be an asset (not trying to overlook Lizzy and other crew members) to Matt's off-road recovery Enterprise. Such a gentle guy, good work guys.
Matt said that Tom had always been there behind the scenes as a friend, helping Matt to "imagineer" and bounce ideas off of, for all of his projects. It's just that Tom is now an official member of the crew.
Odd, my sound was off. Still a great video. Shame about the drive shaft, but that was a ton of torque being exerted. Lizzie is doing a great job on taking those SUVs apart. She’s my daughter’s favorite :) So great to see Matt and Rudy together again!
Thanks for coming up to SLORex this weekend, I am amazed at how small the door is to get into the MORRvair. You guys make that thing look so easy to get in and out of haha. Also glad to catch Tom without a crowd and give knuckles for all his work on the wrecker. He's a good dude!
The MORR team letting all their cohorts that don't have as many followers post KOH videos with the wrecker before they did is a lowkey power move for the entire crew. Setting the example as usual!
I have seen this in the past. This is what you get when you mix high torque, and good tires/grip with a high weight vehicle. As you beef up the parts the point of failure will just keep moving through the drive train. I hope you get it worked out Matt, she is a beast.
Yep. Throughout the build I kept thinking that they should be trying to eliminate 5lbs. here 20lbs. there in order to take advantage of the extra beefy drivetrain. Instead the kept adding more. It is a bit like the same idea behind putting 1 ton drivetrain under a Toyota or jeep. Light vehicle + heavy duty drive train = less breakage. This thing broke under it's own weight in a non recovery situation. Hopefully that prototype transfer case he had to take out makes up for it when it is ready.
@@just_me2797 Remember, they aren't using the transfer case that is being designed for it right now. They are using a stock NP205. The correct T-case is a prototype, and wasn't going to be ready in time for KOH, so they swapped in the 205 just to see how the rest of it worked. The front driveshaft, as they said, needs more strength, and that will be solved pretty quickly. But, Matt also _wants_ the weight of it. Because of the bigger jobs he has been getting. Like dragging 40+ foot motorhomes out of deep sand, or dragging SUVs off the sides of hills, or literally picking up SxSs and dragging them out of trails, or any other situation where he needs the sheer mass, to counterbalance the weight and resistance of the other vehicle he is recovering. I don't know if you've noticed really, but in the early days of the channel, Matt was just using the Banana and other Jeeps to just tug people out of sand, or drag them out of dirt roads when they broke down. Then, as they got their winch situation sorted out, they started taking bigger, heavier jobs. With the Morrvair, they've been dragging 40ft motorhomes out of deep sand pits, or 1+ton trucks with 40+ foot full profile fifthwheel toy haulers out of sand, or hanging off the side of a mountain, with two other vehicles trying to haul a truck back onto the road, or various other situations that are far beyond what they had the capability of doing, and _needed_ the mass of the Morrvair, because the Banana would just get dragged. With the Wrecker? It will make a lot of these bigger jobs a hell of a lot easier, and will be able to do what it would take 2 or 3 vehicles to do, just by itself. I get where you are coming from, I love light weight builds. But sometimes, you just need mass. But with mass, comes the need for non-factory parts, like the transfer case. When the correct transfer case gets in, they will see where the next weak link is. There is going to be a bunch of parts breakage in the next year I bet, until they get get breaking point pushed high enough on all of the parts, that they will rarely encounter it, or at least get it to a easily, and quickly fixed "fuse" part. Kind of like the Morrvair and it's stub-shaft consumables.
@@just_me2797 I kept thinking of where is the tipping point of when weight of Vehicle exceeds the grip ability of the vehicle..... The gravity of the situation is Gravity.
@@dposcuro I addressed the transfer case situation in what I wrote. I am well aware of all of Matt's rescues, what he has been using, as well as the transition of recovery vehicles and methods. Having sheer mass to get rv's out of loose sand mere hundreds of feet from a hard road combined with massive tires AND ultra low gearing for torque in order to do serious off-road recoveries isn't a great combination though. He will never be rescuing an RV miles up an off-road trail. I am certainly not suggesting using an ultra light vehicle. You will notice I referenced 1-ton axles under a light vehicle, as in making a comparison not a suggestion. I am aware of the need for weight when an anchor point is not available, but if the weight and tire size is such that it is pretty much set back to, maybe, being reliable at just getting itself through off road situations then the benefits are lost.
@@marks4925 There is definitely a lot that can be said about the traction being able to hold the weight on a slope. Traction/grip is a bit important and the more force pulling against that grip the less capable it is at holding it.
I don't know what's scarier, the fact that the wrecker could drive through an RV without getting damaged or that the RV provides little to no resistance to a vehicle driving through it.
there may be an old guy somewhere who used to drive the original yellow International truck which is now the 'World's Largest Off Road Wrecker' and what an unbelievable transformation this must be for him.
I normally would be as well on a Sunday morning but this is old news. Nothing new here as everyone already posted the highlights throughout the week. Big letdown.
Thank you Matt and everyone for putting up with us nimrods at the off-road expo. I know it is strange to be mobbed by all of us. It is strange for us because we watch you so much we feel like we are your friends, but you don't know us at all. I got to stand next to Lizzy and get my picture taken. she is so talented and I have loads of respect for the way Matt is with her and his entire crew.
I think an offroad Recker named Rocky fits perfectly and goes with Matts old smashup derby name too You folks are giving us some great entertainment, Thanks!. See you at the wrecker games!
Big heavy truck, with big heavy wheels and tires, the motor seems real healthy so it is going to be very easy to find the weakest link. Once you get through the proving process this huge wrecker will be as reliable as anything else Matt has. This big truck is very specilized so it is going to take a little longer to get the bugs out. The end result is going to be awesome. You will get it together Matt!!!! We all have faith in you and your team.
My 7 year old daughter was watching some World's Largest Off Road Wrecker videos with me earlier and she loves it! We just got a 1/24 scale RC Crawler that looks very similar and I think we have to make a scale version of it, now! Get all the bugs sorted in the drivelines, only a few weeks left until the Games!
It's been my experience that building a machine like that is an exercise in eliminating weak points. I suspect there will be many more but it will be an incredible machine when you're finished with it.
It has to be so rewarding to finally operate and drive something that you designed and built yourself and see the results. Awesome job! That thing is a Beast. That's what I would call it. The Beast.
TomTom is pretty witty - "The Nuclear Football" - love it. It looks like you found the Achilles Heel of the Wrecker. Oh yeah and the sad music as Paul towed the disabled Wrecker away was very cool - set the somber mood.
I'm just 4 and a half minuets into this episode/ video and I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to all the judges. It's been day of feeling down! But that has made me giggle ! THANKS.
Seen blue steel pulling the morrvair on Thursday when I was headed out to Nevada this past weekend. Felt like a little kid in a candy shop when I saw y’all ride by 😂
You guys are inspirational! In life, things don’t always go according to plan In life things break How you react is the key to success and happiness You demonstrate how to do it right Thanks
Love the channel everyone. Very positive, no matter the situation. They should use these videos for training videos, for employers/employee moral and work environment productivity. It all comes down to mutual respect and a non ego approach. One other things guys, are you going to paint all the raw metal on the heavy wrecker? Keep up the good work everyone.
Loving your content! Hey, working in the iron mines, 100T B Train trucks would be equipped with a torque limit coupling somewhere easily accessible on the drive shaft, when one of these monsters would tear apart the drive train it was at the coupling… few bolts and a new link any you are on your way again… slightly more complicated at -50 in the Arctic tundra under total darkness.
One thing I have found in my 44 years of wheeling is that when someone breaks, someone will do all they can to help you. I'd probably expand that to include most all of the gearhead community! Matt, don't let these breaks get you down. I mean you just did build a whole wrecker from pretty much scratch gathering donor engine, new trans, donor axles, complete custom wiring, 100's if not 1000's of man(and Lady, Lizzy did a BUNCH) hours. To build something so very awesome, One thing I am sure of is that this will most likely not be the last weak link to fail! But, eventually you will get them ll taken care of and you'll some be out recovering with peace of mind that it's gonna do what you built it to do.
'All positive Matt." You gave it a good test drive and found out it's weaknesses. All test drives/flights for prototype and one of a kind from scratch vehicles are meant to find the plusses and fixes. Another bonus, your were on firm ground when something broke and not in mid air! You will be top notch for the wrecker games. Can't wait! Unfortunately for me, I will have to wait for the videos to come out since I live in Northern Michigan. Thank You for sharing all your creative adventures and fun!
You turned your shake down into a fantastic adventure. You had a great time with a whole group of great people and you learned your weak points in the process. Sure it may have been a far trip for a shake down, but I say it was worth it.
As others have said it's really great to see Lizzy and her sister working in the shop. There are soooo few women doing any sort of engineering or mechanical jobs or heavy equipment jobs and even fewer that have any sort of public exposure. The young generations need to see that there's nothing stopping them from doing that stuff if thats what they want to do.
What a great team effort. Kudos to Lizzy for holding the fort down, doing recovery’s and prepping the vehicles for the competition. I see a need for a jump seat in the heavy wrecker’s future. I’m sure Jamie would appreciate it. Amazing fan base you have with everyone assisting you, cheering you on and waiving as you go by.
The main problem they will have is the massive weight and high HP engine! The engine has so much power the drive line can't handle the weight and power. If possible all parts should be forged and come from heavy industrial equipment! FYI They don't come cheap!💰
It was awesome to meet you all at SLOREX Saturday. Matt, thank you for taking a few moments to talk over the mechanical fan upgrade you did on the Banana. He was so excited to have learned a few tips and expectations on the mod from you. Thank you for all you do in your community!!
I just wanted to send my congratulations to your totally awesome build! That thing is a monster, and one of the most impressive builds I’ve seen on the tube. Hope Ed is doing better and send my blessings for a speedy and full recovery. You guys are a great team and loads of entertainment. Cheers! Look forward to getting a chance to see you all in person.
I wish I could meet you all. But Oregon is a little bit away. ... I can't stop watching your videos. I watch them over and over again 😀. Thanks again for being so happy and genuine.... From dune city Oregon
I have a question will we see the recovery that Lizzy did while you guys were at King of Hammers? I really hope so this was an interesting video in my opinion. You know what you need to fix and improve on the wrecker which is a great thing. Lizzy is good at being in charge and getting her job done I was really impressed
So happy to see Rudy in the video. I love the Morr team and it’s so awesome to see y’all back in adventures together, even if for just the weekend. My wife was not impressed with driving through the RV, something about boys and toys.
Great video! What an awesome wrecker. Good testing done and found some weak areas and know what needs to be done . I've been meaning to say that hiring Tom Tom was a great addition to the team, good guy!
I’m usually the last to offer any advice, but the heavy wrecker might need a driveline similar to what the dudes doing sled pulls use. Similar setups with a TH400/NP205 except they’re pushing way more beans than a NA 6.0 LS block ever will lol.
Awesome to see the WLORW come through that old motorhome. When you were first breaking through it sounded like Godzilla coming through town. Sooo Coool! LOL
The heart of America is right here. Despite the challenges and set backs everybody wants you to succeed at least this is how it comes across. The frontier spirit to overcome and achieve despite the hardships and all ends in a smile. Thank you. (From the UK)
This truck is not only cool, it's Awesome, Matt, from your first thought to build this awesome offroad recovery wrecker, to a drawing/ frame rails, to welding the first two rails, you never let up on your design! And you built a real fine truck! 🙂 This truck is a beast 💪 you will go pretty much anywhere you are called to go.👍. Thanks for sharing. ✌🏻🧡👍🤘🌬❄️🌧🇨🇦. P.S. my apologies for earlier comments, not my finest comments.🤔
Matt it costs the same amount of cash to keep the top half of the diesel tank full as it does to keep the bottom half full! A lesson I learned as a child from my pops. Dig the wrecker. Great build.
When you guys came over the Chocolate Thunder hill at 31:10, that was us camped at the bottom there. Awesome to see you guys ripping around, loved seeing the wrecker go up that hill next to us.
I love the way all of Matt's friends and team and also friends of friends etc all come to gether to help, what a great team. Also considering the size of wheels and the power through transmission the torque on those relatively small shafts must be colassal it really is no wonder they sheared.
I love how Jamie's being all Safety Sally in there with her harness on and hanging on to it and Matt's in the driver's seat like, "What? I've got the steering wheel... I'm good".
It's easy to stay calm about it when you know the cheap temporary stuff you put in is going to break. When you've spent 10x the money and a lot of time on the ultimate fix to make it bulletproof, it's pretty disappointing when it breaks.
I love this channel so much. I can't even explain. It's been so fun watching everyone grow, and learn, and now the originals are all doing now independent work and bringing in new people. Thank you guys so much for sharing your journey and bringing all of us with you.
Oh man, it looks like you had such a good time breaking your new toy. Always have a smile on your face and be surrounded by good friends. It's crazy to watch this awesome build and enjoy getting to see you use the wrecker. Thanks for sharing all the good times with everyone who is sitting at home watching it all. I need to start filming more stuff with my Unimog. I enjoy going out on adventures in the PNW.
I was not sure of the Heavy Wrecker watching the build as it looked well very heavy, but seeing it out in the wild it looks very impressive and actually light on its feet except the driveshafts. 😂. Matt seems to really have a good vision to build these rigs as he’s three for three on the channel. I’m sure the Bomby will turn out great also. Nice work everyone! I will be rooting for the Heavy Wrecker in the games but you have to root for Trail Mater as well as that rig is awesome as well.
Heckuva thing to break output shafts on a 205 transfer case...and to get both in one shot... well, that's just really special! Good job keeping your cool thru all of that!
As much as I and many others wanted this to be flaw-free, I knew that the wrecker was going to have problems. Hopefully they'll be able to find some sort of drive shift that will be able to hold the massive stress. Whistlin diesel had problems just like this with monster max v1. Gonna need some absolute monster drive shafts. Good luck Matt and crew!
I liked the story of the Roadrunner, maybe that should be the name for the wrecker? Or perhaps Rocky as a tribute? Also, Lizzy is a star, I hope my daughter grows up to be as talented and capable as her.

I thought the same thing when he tried to get on the trailer cause he needs help all the and can’t do it alone.
I was thinking 360 lighting would be great too.
Floor/wheel cams would be a huge benefit too.
The world needs more Lizzys. I am so encouraged by her work ethic. She is an amazing woman who gets the job done. Good luck for the upcoming wrecker challenge. May the best team win!
At the start of her joining the team she appeared to be just a pretty face. She has really learned a lot and does not appear to be afraid to take on any challenge. She is now capable in so many areas of their work. Her welding is impressive. She handles rescues and definitely a valuable member of the team. Great job as role model Lizzy.
Also we females need way more men like Matt who treats us as equals
@@facamp38 that’s a big amen to that. I love to see women take on the challenges of male dominated careers and in fact surpass men. Remember Rosie the Riveter !!!!
There is only one Lizzie! Did you ever notice those biceps?
@@brucedoxey5815 yeah I wouldn’t want to arm wrestle with her. She is a rancher as I understand so lots of hard work to do.
I absolutely LOVE this build! To spite the difficult field wrenching situation, y’all pulled it off!! Idc that it broke, like it did, any build has it’s short comings in the testing phase. I’m in the midst of putting a truck together with an 8.1L and seeing how Matt’s truck seemed to effortlessly snap those output shafts, i find his experience to be my gain as i know what to expect ant perhaps put some beefier shafts in my build to avoid the same problem. THANK YOU Matt for this content! Great vids buddy!!
Dang, Lizzie-- wish I could do HALF what you do.!!!! WOW-- you have really impressed me with your progress!!! The world needs more like you.. !!! GREAT JOB!!
I can’t get over just how far this channel has come, it’s pretty amazing. When I got recommended this channel you only had the banana for recoveries and the videos looked like you were using a cell phone . And now look at you guys. Incredible
Wow, some really kind and motivating words right there. Seems you came much earlier.. I got recommended when they were just about to hit a Milli... look at them now.
Yeah i remember when matt said he was filming these vids on his cell phone and editing them himself with some amateur software. They've come a long way.
Yep, somewhere back there is a video of Matt thinking about stopping the videos because he ran out of storage on his phone...
@@Kevinr14 true,vids hitting million in views...in two days, definitely demands professionalism. Matt's a true witness you gotta start somewhere.. however humble.
i know right?
remember when mr Matt kept filming without realizing all those videos were being stored on his phone as opposed to the cloud? as i recall they had a difficult time retrieving the footage, the phone was that out of space... :)
I loved the roadrunner in the background behind Matt while he was telling us all about Rocky the Roadrunner!
Seeing this monster unit come to life and do what it was designed to do is so freakin' cool. Thanks for taking us along on the ride.
Thank you to the whole team for the content. I really admire lizzy for taking on welding the willingness to learn the automotive trades.
I really enjoy how you guys all work together with the other TH-camrs and respect each others right to use specific content on your individual channels. Awesome cooperation, and really gives a great representation of the people that y’all are.
Great to see Rudy and Matt working together again.
Kudos to Jaymie for riding along with Matt through that motor home.
I am so excited to see this monster after all the bugs are worked out. The MORR crew has done a PHENOMENAL job on this build.
I REALLY love the wrecker-videos and it comes out freaking awesome...
...but unfortunately from an engineer's point of view, I think it will be very common that we see something break on the wrecker. During the building process I thought to myself "ohh this is going to be critical" a few times.
I have absolut no idea about offroading, so i hope Matt proves me wrong.
@@12Cortana for sure!! Matt was certainly behind the 8 ball since the manufacturer never sent the assembly manual. 😄😁🤣 I think when it's all said and done they'll get the bugs out and fix the weak links. It'll be a solid and reliable tool in the fleet.
@@12Cortana he'll prove you wrong... just stick around.
@@stevedeornellis8657 Matts other builds seem very reliable, and the Morvair takes a heck of a beating sometimes, but you don't see Matts rigs break often, and when you do it is mostly because of worn out parts as his rigs are used hard and often.
@@12Cortana I haven't seen any stress analysis done during the build. Matt seems to have a good eye for load paths when he's fabricating the chassis, bodywork and lift structure, and then he just goes with 'you can't go wrong with big and strong.' But the drive train is a different matter, especially with the very untypical shock loading that he subjects it to. It might actually be OK for its stated use as a recovery vehicle, but I think he's just going to keep breaking stuff if he keeps doing the heavy rock crawling. He might be able beef up parts at the failure points but he'll just keep chasing the weak points in the system until he realizes that he has to upgrade the whole drive train.
That wrecker is such a flex and seeing it work its way through a trail is like art. All those people there are great people too, helpful.
Too bad it can't do wrecker things..
@@dopeman420It does. Didn't you watch it WRECK that RV? 😂
Thanks for showing things breaking, making mistakes, etc.. but more importantly, thanks for showing your positive attitude when things go sideways!
That was a great shakedown event for the Wrecker. You learned a lot.
Lizzie and her sister make for an awesome teardown team. Great work girls!
Erica
After watching hundreds of your videos, what i love the most is the camaraderie between the communty!!!
Id love to be a part of that.
Tom has really turned out to be an asset (not trying to overlook Lizzy and other crew members) to Matt's off-road recovery Enterprise. Such a gentle guy, good work guys.
Still missing Trevor
@@ingemaraugustsson295 just move on won't you..?
The humble dispostion of all the characters is a primary reason the show is so succussful. Lizzy however is the linch-pin holding it all togeher.
Matt said that Tom had always been there behind the scenes as a friend, helping Matt to "imagineer" and bounce ideas off of, for all of his projects. It's just that Tom is now an official member of the crew.
Trevor, tucker, Rudi, who else am I missing?
Odd, my sound was off. Still a great video. Shame about the drive shaft, but that was a ton of torque being exerted. Lizzie is doing a great job on taking those SUVs apart. She’s my daughter’s favorite :)
So great to see Matt and Rudy together again!
The sound was off by a few seconds for me as well. Tried stopping, restarting, nothing worked.
Yeah they had some syncing issues and static. Not sure what's going on.
Yeah makes it tough to watch but still watching anyway
@@brandonsmith6144 Agreed
We're also having audio sync issues.
I’ll just keep saying this! I loooove the long videos. They’re awesome.
Nothing is boring to us. We love all the content
Thanks for coming up to SLORex this weekend, I am amazed at how small the door is to get into the MORRvair. You guys make that thing look so easy to get in and out of haha.
Also glad to catch Tom without a crowd and give knuckles for all his work on the wrecker. He's a good dude!
The MORR team letting all their cohorts that don't have as many followers post KOH videos with the wrecker before they did is a lowkey power move for the entire crew. Setting the example as usual!
Lookin excellent Matt...I can't believe Jamie was wheelin with you.....I'm impressed !!!.... thanks for sharing this
I have seen this in the past. This is what you get when you mix high torque, and good tires/grip with a high weight vehicle.
As you beef up the parts the point of failure will just keep moving through the drive train. I hope you get it worked out Matt, she is a beast.
Yep. Throughout the build I kept thinking that they should be trying to eliminate 5lbs. here 20lbs. there in order to take advantage of the extra beefy drivetrain. Instead the kept adding more.
It is a bit like the same idea behind putting 1 ton drivetrain under a Toyota or jeep. Light vehicle + heavy duty drive train = less breakage.
This thing broke under it's own weight in a non recovery situation.
Hopefully that prototype transfer case he had to take out makes up for it when it is ready.
@@just_me2797 Remember, they aren't using the transfer case that is being designed for it right now. They are using a stock NP205. The correct T-case is a prototype, and wasn't going to be ready in time for KOH, so they swapped in the 205 just to see how the rest of it worked.
The front driveshaft, as they said, needs more strength, and that will be solved pretty quickly.
But, Matt also _wants_ the weight of it. Because of the bigger jobs he has been getting. Like dragging 40+ foot motorhomes out of deep sand, or dragging SUVs off the sides of hills, or literally picking up SxSs and dragging them out of trails, or any other situation where he needs the sheer mass, to counterbalance the weight and resistance of the other vehicle he is recovering.
I don't know if you've noticed really, but in the early days of the channel, Matt was just using the Banana and other Jeeps to just tug people out of sand, or drag them out of dirt roads when they broke down. Then, as they got their winch situation sorted out, they started taking bigger, heavier jobs. With the Morrvair, they've been dragging 40ft motorhomes out of deep sand pits, or 1+ton trucks with 40+ foot full profile fifthwheel toy haulers out of sand, or hanging off the side of a mountain, with two other vehicles trying to haul a truck back onto the road, or various other situations that are far beyond what they had the capability of doing, and _needed_ the mass of the Morrvair, because the Banana would just get dragged.
With the Wrecker? It will make a lot of these bigger jobs a hell of a lot easier, and will be able to do what it would take 2 or 3 vehicles to do, just by itself.
I get where you are coming from, I love light weight builds. But sometimes, you just need mass.
But with mass, comes the need for non-factory parts, like the transfer case. When the correct transfer case gets in, they will see where the next weak link is. There is going to be a bunch of parts breakage in the next year I bet, until they get get breaking point pushed high enough on all of the parts, that they will rarely encounter it, or at least get it to a easily, and quickly fixed "fuse" part. Kind of like the Morrvair and it's stub-shaft consumables.
@@just_me2797 I kept thinking of where is the tipping point of when weight of Vehicle exceeds the grip ability of the vehicle..... The gravity of the situation is Gravity.
@@dposcuro I addressed the transfer case situation in what I wrote.
I am well aware of all of Matt's rescues, what he has been using, as well as the transition of recovery vehicles and methods.
Having sheer mass to get rv's out of loose sand mere hundreds of feet from a hard road combined with massive tires AND ultra low gearing for torque in order to do serious off-road recoveries isn't a great combination though. He will never be rescuing an RV miles up an off-road trail.
I am certainly not suggesting using an ultra light vehicle. You will notice I referenced 1-ton axles under a light vehicle, as in making a comparison not a suggestion.
I am aware of the need for weight when an anchor point is not available, but if the weight and tire size is such that it is pretty much set back to, maybe, being reliable at just getting itself through off road situations then the benefits are lost.
@@marks4925 There is definitely a lot that can be said about the traction being able to hold the weight on a slope. Traction/grip is a bit important and the more force pulling against that grip the less capable it is at holding it.
The amount of Welding Lizzy put into that thing deserves insane props. Too bad she's stuck back at the shop while the boys are having fun with it.
Someone had to stay behind to do the other prep work for the Games as well as doing off-road recovery calls.
I don't know what's scarier, the fact that the wrecker could drive through an RV without getting damaged or that the RV provides little to no resistance to a vehicle driving through it.
Well it was obvious there was some sawzall work to the roof before hand
Haha he said little to no resistance wtf that’s a 10000+ lb vehicle
Cool to see everyone pitch in to help after the wrecker broke. And Lizzy is awesome, great to see her confidence and skills
Spelled with a "y". Who knew?
Saw her doing her autograph with the welder on Tom's birdhouse project...
@@chazfaz3595 thanks, fixed
there may be an old guy somewhere who used to drive the original yellow International truck which is now the 'World's Largest Off Road Wrecker' and what an unbelievable transformation this must be for him.
Agreed on all characters mentioned!!! What great content and how it has matured but stayed true to its roots.
I love that these videos drop around 8-9am for me, a good way to start off the day
I normally would be as well on a Sunday morning but this is old news. Nothing new here as everyone already posted the highlights throughout the week. Big letdown.
7-8am for me. Absolutely love it
@@MrThisIsMeToo I’ve avoided the other channel spoilers. I’ll catch up on everyone else’s vid later.
100%
No better way to spend a Sunday MORRning!
Thank you Matt and everyone for putting up with us nimrods at the off-road expo. I know it is strange to be mobbed by all of us. It is strange for us because we watch you so much we feel like we are your friends, but you don't know us at all. I got to stand next to Lizzy and get my picture taken. she is so talented and I have loads of respect for the way Matt is with her and his entire crew.
That's great so many folks to meet the crew!! Very cool to be so appreciative too!
I think an offroad Recker named Rocky fits perfectly and goes with Matts old smashup derby name too
You folks are giving us some great entertainment, Thanks!.
See you at the wrecker games!
I love watching you and your crew, the extended family you've made. Im glad you all have fun even when things break.
Big heavy truck, with big heavy wheels and tires, the motor seems real healthy so it is going to be very easy to find the weakest link. Once you get through the proving process this huge wrecker will be as reliable as anything else Matt has. This big truck is very specilized so it is going to take a little longer to get the bugs out. The end result is going to be awesome. You will get it together Matt!!!! We all have faith in you and your team.
My 7 year old daughter was watching some World's Largest Off Road Wrecker videos with me earlier and she loves it! We just got a 1/24 scale RC Crawler that looks very similar and I think we have to make a scale version of it, now! Get all the bugs sorted in the drivelines, only a few weeks left until the Games!
❤ RC crawlers!! I have a few 1/10 TRX4 and SCX10.2 crawlers and a Traxxas X-MAXX.
It's been my experience that building a machine like that is an exercise in eliminating weak points. I suspect there will be many more but it will be an incredible machine when you're finished with it.
It has to be so rewarding to finally operate and drive something that you designed and built yourself and see the results. Awesome job! That thing is a Beast. That's what I would call it. The Beast.
Yepp the BEAST sounds good 👍
TomTom is pretty witty - "The Nuclear Football" - love it. It looks like you found the Achilles Heel of the Wrecker. Oh yeah and the sad music as Paul towed the disabled Wrecker away was very cool - set the somber mood.
Jst for the record, we love watching Lizzy doing all the things she does.
The smile on Matt's face at 2:29 was priceless. Thanks for another great video.
Been waiting to see this. Nice work guys! Poor Jamie sitting on the floor in the middle of the wrecker, need to build a bar stool style jump seat...
Add a buddy seat from a JD farm tractor.
@@timdenowh95 yeah something like that!
@3:12 The dog judging had me rolling! Good stuff right here.
I'm just 4 and a half minuets into this episode/ video and I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to all the judges.
It's been day of feeling down! But that has made me giggle ! THANKS.
Seen blue steel pulling the morrvair on Thursday when I was headed out to Nevada this past weekend. Felt like a little kid in a candy shop when I saw y’all ride by 😂
This channel is like Saturday morning cartoons was when I was a kid. Thanks for the content!
:)
You guys are inspirational!
In life, things don’t always go according to plan
In life things break
How you react is the key to success and happiness
You demonstrate how to do it right
Thanks
Love the off-road wrecker build. Can't wait to see it perform in the recovery videos.
The beastly groan when it crested over the rv with the sun shining from behind was epic
I love the roadrunner that is in the background as you were making your video. Someone has a heck of a good artist.
Love the channel everyone. Very positive, no matter the situation. They should use these videos for training videos, for employers/employee moral and work environment productivity. It all comes down to mutual respect and a non ego approach. One other things guys, are you going to paint all the raw metal on the heavy wrecker? Keep up the good work everyone.
They want to paint it but they want to be sure all welding is done before. So first they're testing and optimising it.
Nice to see Rudy in a MORR video again.. I think we all know who we really want back tho. WE MISS TREVOR
Yep...we all do. The channel has lost its X factor since he left.
Trevor was the man!! His talent is obviously missed as things are just madness without him!
Loving your content! Hey, working in the iron mines, 100T B Train trucks would be equipped with a torque limit coupling somewhere easily accessible on the drive shaft, when one of these monsters would tear apart the drive train it was at the coupling… few bolts and a new link any you are on your way again… slightly more complicated at -50 in the Arctic tundra under total darkness.
Seeing the whole wheeling community come together to repair the wrecker is just awesome.
One thing I have found in my 44 years of wheeling is that when someone breaks, someone will do all they can to help you. I'd probably expand that to include most all of the gearhead community! Matt, don't let these breaks get you down. I mean you just did build a whole wrecker from pretty much scratch gathering donor engine, new trans, donor axles, complete custom wiring, 100's if not 1000's of man(and Lady, Lizzy did a BUNCH) hours. To build something so very awesome, One thing I am sure of is that this will most likely not be the last weak link to fail! But, eventually you will get them ll taken care of and you'll some be out recovering with peace of mind that it's gonna do what you built it to do.
Awesome that the WLORW had solid, easy access, recovery points! Great welding Lizzy!
'All positive Matt." You gave it a good test drive and found out it's weaknesses. All test drives/flights for prototype and one of a kind from scratch vehicles are meant to find the plusses and fixes.
Another bonus, your were on firm ground when something broke and not in mid air! You will be top notch for the wrecker games. Can't wait! Unfortunately for me, I will have to wait for the videos to come out since I live in Northern Michigan. Thank You for sharing all your creative adventures and fun!
You turned your shake down into a fantastic adventure. You had a great time with a whole group of great people and you learned your weak points in the process. Sure it may have been a far trip for a shake down, but I say it was worth it.
As others have said it's really great to see Lizzy and her sister working in the shop. There are soooo few women doing any sort of engineering or mechanical jobs or heavy equipment jobs and even fewer that have any sort of public exposure. The young generations need to see that there's nothing stopping them from doing that stuff if thats what they want to do.
What a sick first recovery for the wrecker. Perfect tool for the job and a cool, unique vehicle to tow!
What a great team effort. Kudos to Lizzy for holding the fort down, doing recovery’s and prepping the vehicles for the competition. I see a need for a jump seat in the heavy wrecker’s future. I’m sure Jamie would appreciate it. Amazing fan base you have with everyone assisting you, cheering you on and waiving as you go by.
keep your head up matt you are doing something nobody else is. Backdoor is one hell of a shakedown run
So nice to see Rudy working with you!! Glad the wrecker is gradually having all the issues resolved - just a great video!!
The main problem they will have is the massive weight and high HP engine! The engine has so much power the drive line can't handle the weight and power. If possible all parts should be forged and come from heavy industrial equipment! FYI They don't come cheap!💰
It was awesome to meet you all at SLOREX Saturday. Matt, thank you for taking a few moments to talk over the mechanical fan upgrade you did on the Banana. He was so excited to have learned a few tips and expectations on the mod from you. Thank you for all you do in your community!!
Great Job MORR. The WLOOW didn't let me down.
I just wanted to send my congratulations to your totally awesome build! That thing is a monster, and one of the most impressive builds I’ve seen on the tube. Hope Ed is doing better and send my blessings for a speedy and full recovery. You guys are a great team and loads of entertainment. Cheers! Look forward to getting a chance to see you all in person.
I wish I could meet you all. But Oregon is a little bit away. ... I can't stop watching your videos. I watch them over and over again 😀. Thanks again for being so happy and genuine.... From dune city Oregon
I have a question will we see the recovery that Lizzy did while you guys were at King of Hammers? I really hope so this was an interesting video in my opinion.
You know what you need to fix and improve on the wrecker which is a great thing.
Lizzy is good at being in charge and getting her job done I was really impressed
that video will be out a week from now pauls editors are the slow I have ever seen! we watched them break the drive line a week ago on fab rats.
So happy to see Rudy in the video. I love the Morr team and it’s so awesome to see y’all back in adventures together, even if for just the weekend.
My wife was not impressed with driving through the RV, something about boys and toys.
Great video! What an awesome wrecker. Good testing done and found some weak areas and know what needs to be done . I've been meaning to say that hiring Tom Tom was a great addition to the team, good guy!
Great R&D run. Just goes to show, you don't know until you know. Keep thriving for excellence crew!!👍👍💪💪
I’m usually the last to offer any advice, but the heavy wrecker might need a driveline similar to what the dudes doing sled pulls use. Similar setups with a TH400/NP205 except they’re pushing way more beans than a NA 6.0 LS block ever will lol.
Awesome to see the WLORW come through that old motorhome. When you were first breaking through it sounded like Godzilla coming through town. Sooo Coool! LOL
Love how everyone pulled together. it just shows what true friendship is.
The heart of America is right here. Despite the challenges and set backs everybody wants you to succeed at least this is how it comes across. The frontier spirit to overcome and achieve despite the hardships and all ends in a smile. Thank you. (From the UK)
This truck is not only cool, it's Awesome, Matt, from your first thought to build this awesome offroad recovery wrecker, to a drawing/ frame rails, to welding the first two rails, you never let up on your design! And you built a real fine truck! 🙂 This truck is a beast 💪 you will go pretty much anywhere you are called to go.👍. Thanks for sharing.
✌🏻🧡👍🤘🌬❄️🌧🇨🇦.
P.S. my apologies for earlier comments, not my finest comments.🤔
Good MORRning folks! Hope you all have a great day!
Same too you JF
Matt it costs the same amount of cash to keep the top half of the diesel tank full as it does to keep the bottom half full! A lesson I learned as a child from my pops. Dig the wrecker. Great build.
The lifter fuel pump with thank you too!
When you guys came over the Chocolate Thunder hill at 31:10, that was us camped at the bottom there. Awesome to see you guys ripping around, loved seeing the wrecker go up that hill next to us.
I love the way all of Matt's friends and team and also friends of friends etc all come to gether to help, what a great team. Also considering the size of wheels and the power through transmission the torque on those relatively small shafts must be colassal it really is no wonder they sheared.
Love the wrecker build! Definitely think a set of rear mud flaps, to protect the customer base, could be useful, particularly on muddy or rocky jobs
I love how Jamie's being all Safety Sally in there with her harness on and hanging on to it and Matt's in the driver's seat like, "What? I've got the steering wheel... I'm good".
😂 man you gotta love Paul he is such a nice guy always in the right place at the right time
Matt seems to be one level-headed dude! Two busted drive trains and he's still smiling.
some pro & semi-pro pit crews can repair their vehicles almost as fast as matt&crew
… his trains are now called east Ohio
… my old boss was like that… I would distroy something and he would just be like … soo -to-doo…
It's easy to stay calm about it when you know the cheap temporary stuff you put in is going to break. When you've spent 10x the money and a lot of time on the ultimate fix to make it bulletproof, it's pretty disappointing when it breaks.
I love this channel so much. I can't even explain. It's been so fun watching everyone grow, and learn, and now the originals are all doing now independent work and bringing in new people. Thank you guys so much for sharing your journey and bringing all of us with you.
Oh man, it looks like you had such a good time breaking your new toy. Always have a smile on your face and be surrounded by good friends. It's crazy to watch this awesome build and enjoy getting to see you use the wrecker. Thanks for sharing all the good times with everyone who is sitting at home watching it all. I need to start filming more stuff with my Unimog. I enjoy going out on adventures in the PNW.
I was not sure of the Heavy Wrecker watching the build as it looked well very heavy, but seeing it out in the wild it looks very impressive and actually light on its feet except the driveshafts. 😂. Matt seems to really have a good vision to build these rigs as he’s three for three on the channel. I’m sure the Bomby will turn out great also. Nice work everyone! I will be rooting for the Heavy Wrecker in the games but you have to root for Trail Mater as well as that rig is awesome as well.
You are super energetic to be fixing it on site! I totally understand, saving face after your mishap.
Heckuva thing to break output shafts on a 205 transfer case...and to get both in one shot... well, that's just really special! Good job keeping your cool thru all of that!
As someone who has driven through and crushed quite a few motorhomes…. I can tell you that it is always a terrible idea 😂
It's always fun until you're the one that has to clean it up.
LOL , yes normally you are the one dragging them out of the woods where they were abandoned and stripped. 😉
As much as I and many others wanted this to be flaw-free, I knew that the wrecker was going to have problems. Hopefully they'll be able to find some sort of drive shift that will be able to hold the massive stress. Whistlin diesel had problems just like this with monster max v1. Gonna need some absolute monster drive shafts. Good luck Matt and crew!
I never relied just how much Matt looks like Yukon Cornelius until the shot of him under the wrecker with his hat off 😁
I liked the story of the Roadrunner, maybe that should be the name for the wrecker? Or perhaps Rocky as a tribute?
Also, Lizzy is a star, I hope my daughter grows up to be as talented and capable as her.
