Oh Man!
Let the friendly competition commence!
was thinking cant wait for matt to see this video but you beat me to it yourself lol
It’ll be fun to watch this behemoth pull like a brute on the sand and fumble like a ford escort on any skinny trail.
@michaelloomer9851 oh the irony when the escort is one of the most successful world rally cars in history
@@Flying_GC INDEED!!! But….. less capable as a rock crawler, fo’sho! 😜
Ha ha ha
Building big is easy. Getting to actually go off-road on trails is another thing. I’m looking forward to the build.
Excactly. There is a balance
I bet he saw Matt having trouble with his rig on a trail that that one jeep got flipped on.
No way it’ll fit in the “Toilet Bowl” that Rory backs up, in Trailmater. Not sure more beastly is more better, but, it is interesting to see people use their skillsets to fabricate weird shite on their nickel. Gonna need more popcorn.😂
@@lovedfriend2020He didn’t have trouble, as so much as he was trying not to inflict more damage on the Jeep, with the owner standing right there I might add. Remember, that was a designated “single track” trail network, and he stated that two track vehicles were Not supposed to be in there, him included.
@@blueman5924 Perhaps but if it can get anywhere close it will be able to just lift the rig out, kind of like the hand of god.
What is happening with this build? Is there any more information and will there be more video content??
Matt's wrecker was built with a similar plan in mind - to be a big wrecker, but also to be small and light enough to be able to manage the sand dunes and get onto the trails in the area. By being larger, I think your wrecker is going to be more trail restricted and less "capable" of doing the job Matt does with his. Of course, that's perfectly ok, because I think it'll be better for other things.. Hope you can get it designed, built, and working by the off road games because it'll be cool to see it side by side with the others. One of my favorite things is seeing all the custom vehicles and knowing there isn't really a "best", just a bunch of different, cool, capable vehicles.
Are the axles Tom bought while Matt was away?
@@bigredc222I'd say so. They look about the same.
@@skilletpan5674 I don't recall Matt talking about using them in any future project.
@@bigredc222I think those were MRAP axles
Matt built his wrecker for the area he works in.
The title the world’s largest off road wrecker will always be challenged..looking forward to your build. You have the upper hand, you have more resources, more skilled labor, and great creativity. I like what Matt did with a few people and tight budget
Exactly!!!he ACTUALLY built it himself, with his hands. Dave is just gonna hire it out.
Completely agree mat gets more hands on and does it himself and doesn’t just have his crew bust their balls and slap his name all over it.
Matt's will still be more trail capable would be my guess
Two different beasts for two different styles. Love both of em and wishing everyone the best
@@andrewk8636absolutely, this build will be so big that it will do a ton of damage trying to go down a normal trail
The Hummersaurus wrecks !!!
Totally looking forward to seeing how this beast turns out !!!
Happy new year fellas 👍
Hummersuarus Wrecks! thats awesome
I'm actually disappointed about this... why can't he feed the homeless without spending on unnecessary vehicles or projects to satisfy his fragile male ego smh
Yeah, that's a pretty good suggestion. I was trying to include Duramax in the name or something with it, but kinda like yours.
@@muazunais2378 Did you not see the Christmas video they made, and the hurricane relief video? And the endless times they have rescued others and helped them out ?
Dude has worked hard to get where he is , and this is the way he makes his living.
Just because someone is successful doesn't mean they have to pick up where the government fails ...
Be better 👍
@@justinmason5307 that’s pretty dang good
That Ram is freaking INCREDIBLE!!!!!! The color, the sport hood, the utility bed, tires and wheels it’s just so sick 🤙
Can't wait to see it! Hopefully, you start it soon!!!!!
The thing about Matt's vehicles is that - pound for pound - they are amazingly capable off road machines. The one that stuns me is the Corvair wagon that was rebuilt into a fabulous rock crawler... with multiple winches. Now we're gonna see crazy. I like this game.
In my opinion, the first thing that amazes me about Matt vehicles is that he builds them out of his head with cardboard, in his garage with employees and a few kids. That’s impressive. I love Dave’s but honestly he is not getting his hands dirty. He has the resources to ask for the best stuff on the vehicle he wants. He got a professional rendering made for his vision. Imagine that Elon Musk wants to build the biggest off-road wrecker then he probably would have it because money can buy you anything.
Props to Dave, I’m looking forward to seeing this monster but Matt would be holding the title in my heart.
This is a terrible compatision. Dave absolutly gets his hands dirty @The_editor28
@@jacobpoucher he gets his hand dirty building? I’m not hating on him. I love the content he creates but I don’t recall seeing him building nothing. Send me a link if you have it.
I remember a video in which Matt tested a military vehicle making research to design the wrecker, and he found that it sink in the sand like a rock on water because it was too heavy. And already there have been a video or two that shows the wrecker being too heavy like it is. So it looks like for what he needs it could not be more heavy, and by a lot of videos, not bigger also.
What can I say I think it going to be a Big Mama love it 👍🇬🇧
Don't forget CAPABLE. If you watched matts early struggles. it included things like being overweight and being able to fit on trails in general.
Yup. There's far more that goes into an off road machine than just big tires.
Or melting everything from locking tubes to electrical wiring.
That engine runs HOT...
@@ColinRichardson cause that header design is terrible is part of the problem
@@infiniti1123 Have you gone to Matts workshop and shown him your design? I bet he would appreciate someone who is knowledgeable and able to take the initiative to show how it can be improved.
@@ColinRichardsonthey had rather set here on TH-cam comments and run their fingers about someone than actually get out of their mom's basement and actually do something with their lives
Man, we’re excited for this series and thanks for hooking us up with OnX!
Can't wait to see this come to life !
This is going to be a cool build. tell the camera man to show more footage of the components. We already know what Dave looks like.
THANK YOU!!! I've said it before. He tells us to take a look at it...and the bloody cameraman stays ON HIM!!! Pain in the ass and annoying AF!!!
The camera man always misses the shot
I'm actually disappointed about this... why can't he feed the homeless without spending on unnecessary vehicles or projects to satisfy his fragile male ego smh
He said half way through that he has a second channel that shows more of the build process and not just main updates.
@@FWtravels I hardly watch and that's the first thing I noticed the Cameraman is a pain.
It's a hummer turning into an off road wrecker, so it obviously has to be named H.O.R.R. (Hummer.Off.Road.wRecker.) 😂 plus it's a good play against Matt's M.O.R.R. 😂
You win best comment
4 doors more HORRs
Any thoughts on how you pronounce this, “who**”?
no
Theres some horrs in this house
I paused on the Couger pic. Dayum!
Hummawrecker for the win! Awesome concept you have!
Can't wait to see it complete and in use!!
Can wait to see the final product. One of the things I enjoy about your channel is that you don't bad mouth other's. Matt always talks highly about you ... Let the games begin!
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist_ And are you build an Offroad Wrecker to use in heaven. STAY FOCUSED!
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist_ And are you building an Offroad Wrecker to use in heaven. STAY FOCUSED!
I cant wait, please make this a genuine build series and take us along for the whole ride. F-ups included. Love you guys!
When will you start to wrecker build??? Can't wait to see you guys start the BattleAxe Wrecker build!!! It's going to be Awesome!!!!
Always keep your sense of hummer!
Can’t wait to see how Matt recovers this😜
Right not sure who would be able to this things gonna weigh 20k
Matt will bring all his corvairs, they'll assemble into a giant humanoid robot and just pick this thing up with one hand. =)
Major respect he is showing towards Matts Offroad Recovery.
He knows youtube comments would roast him over anything and is trying to get out in front of them.
The fact he bought axles off the same guy Matt bought 2 off of is hilarious
Yah I'm thinking he needs a different video title. Matt's the current record holder
Matt also got 3 for a 6x6 with a Drive thru axle@@BrokeWrench
these dudes are several orders of magnitude better in every way then matts off road. matts off road isa hipster channel.
For one to be awesome there is no need to bring the other down, Both are wholesome and different, Matt s channel hipster..thats hilarious@@jacobpoucher
Definitely nothing wrong with a little friendly competition👍
Dave, I'm looking forward to seeing the final product on this one, can't wait!! 😉👍 (and seeing it in action!)
Dave, we like your style. It's a combo of experienced bravado and sincere humility (not "humiliated", just "humble"). We like how you considered that couple that were stranded in their Class C then went scouting in their Kia... You treated that situation with care for all involved. Then, helping Matt pull those crumpled up cars from that deep, deep canyon... We are really looking forward to your building the WLOR Trail W. Yeehaw!
I hope you guys simplify this rig as much as possible. I want to see this thing succeed. I love the military axles! Matt's largest off road wrecker is very agile and I don't think y'all are gonna outmaneuver it on the trail unless you shed as much weight as possible. Keep it light, keep it simple. Good luck!
The Duramax diesel engine should be replaced by a big block V8 for instant power and less weight.
@@frank-t6857 agreed. Matt's wrecker is gonna be hard to beat. This is gonna be fun to watch.
@frank-t6857 Also... how fast that engine rev up for those 'burst' of power needed most of the time? The big block Matt choose has more torque than the Duramax of the same year.
@@pcihector Totally agree with you
My son and I have watch all of your channels and the series on Discovery Channel. My son is special needs, anytime he sees a helicopter he thinks it’s Heavy D flying it. FYI we live in Hawaii 😊
That's Crazy !! ... Letz get it on !!
I dig how all the off-road recovery TH-camrs all hang out. It must be nice to be able to bounce ideas off each other. Makes great content too
I wonder what TH-cam channel was talking trash about Heavy?
@@that0ranger That channel wasn't talking trash about Heavy D, he was stating facts. Of course this will hurt some feelings in the process.
@@SpakasAlberthe asked for a name, not an passive aggressive explanation
@@that0rangerAnd I wonder the same thing. BUT: I do only watch Heavy D‘s channel, the other mentioned channels I do not watch at all, again, poor time management from my side 🥴😀
Would be awesome to hear which channel or creator Dave meant in the beginning with his comment about „talking trash“.
Best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋
Suspect he’s referencing a trail mater video where Rory said he was doing a recovery job cheap to keep another TH-camr from doing damage to Moab whilst doing the recovery, Rory didn’t name anyone but the comments made suggestions
😂 Haha, Matt's Off-road Recovery rig, lives rent free in your mind's 😆 🤣 😂
That massive green thing can just make its own trails. Good luck, Matt will have to grow his wrecker now.
All the off road rigs are amazing
All of you guys have exactly what you need! Your rig couldn't go thru the trails Matt's does, but your stuff could pick up everything Matt owns in one pull. Love it all!
@01:29 you have to be nominated by your audience for wrecker Olympics, per Mat's "rules. " 🌞
yeah, all dollars no sense
@@TacoUP 😂
I got to admit these easter eggs are good... 👍🏽
Irish also hates his guts and finds him to be destructive to the environment
How to nominate??? But we can ¡¡¡Let's get it done!!!
@@FusedDNAinGOD-InLove92118 if I remember correctly, the audience nominates the candidate to Mat's recovery website or on the comments section on his TH-cam channel...
The trail Slayer...hell yeah.. one love fam ❤️
Really enjoy your excellent content along with your graceful demeanor.
Matt saves Hummers all the time :)
An off road wrecker must be able to do trails as well as massive hauling! There is a limit to how big and rediculous you can get before it becomes non functional!
*ridiculous 🙄
Thanks capt obvious!lol
Truth
I'd like to see it go down the switchbacks on Elephant Hill.
@@buellb0y i think he was using the spell from harry potter
Thank you for continuing to do content. I love your channel and all of your content ❤
These are the videos that we need. Let's get back to building bad ass rigs like you did on discovery.
yaaaaaaaaas
Exactly!! Remind them who you are DAVE!
Agree, much prefer this content then the other rubbish that's been posted the last few years.
Love it!! Well said!
I watch Matt's channel all the time he has invited anyone who thinks they are up to the challenge of the Off-road wrecker games just like you Matt's pretty much has his plate full running an actual business and making content for TH-cam look forward to the build guys
Been eagerly waiting for some build videos. Checking here and Sparks Motors. Maybe a Short just to give a quick update. Really like your content. Especially the helicopters as my sons are flying in helicopters, and now fixed wing turboprops. Rock on!
I've already watched a few of your vids in my YT-stream, but being a subscriber to Matt and a big fan of his off-road wrecker, I KNOW I have to see this one, so it earned you a subscriber ;)
I love a friendly competition, but what I love even more is when there's a touch of that competitive spirit behind it, i can feel it here and I'm invested.
Matt mentioned an offroad rollback and had the truck in his yard, he also had a bus he was looking at using to shuttle for this year's offroad games. Not making any comparison, just letting you know what you missed YT wise.
I would love to see a tracked rollback or a tracked PLS that can haul the stuff you recover back onto the road. As cool as your recoveries are, it there is a lot of time and energy expended in dragging wrecks back to a road or parking lot to load up. I just think a vehicle like that would make for easier recoveries and less impact on some of the sites.
A 6 wheel humvee sounds amazing! I can't wait to see thus build! The military elected not to pursue the humvee wrecker concept, so it's cool you guys are.
Some friends ain't really friends. Two faced . Keep em coming Dave- ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a nice project, your explanation was great.
Matt be like "Hold my Mountain Dew!" Looking forward to the project.
😂😂😂😂
Howdy from the great state of Texas, your whole crew rocks. I've been welding for over 60 years and love your channel. This off-road wrecker will be " BODACIOUSLY UNBELIEVABLE " !!! By the way Dave, Sparks is derived from Sparrowhauk. My paternal grandmother was a Sparks. Blessings and love, Shalom. Greg Davis
REALLY beautiful Truck!
OMG. So Nice....
Much ❤ Guys
Call it the "6 Pack" ... looking forward to the build 🙌🍻
Always good to have multiple rigs to help each other. So realisticly if one of those large wreckers ever brake down on the trail you guys can call each other for some help. Looking forward to seeing all the friendly battles all the off road youtubers are doing.
I imagine this thing is going to be so big that it couldn't do any sort of technical recovery... But I do look forward to the build and seeing what you guys come up with ...
Love all the stuff you guys build always very inspiring!
Matt's wrecker are more daily trail and rock recovery-able being for its size. Rory and Trail Mater team are the beast in rock and trail recoveries. If you oversize this it will not be allowed in Moab due to land management. Keep it in this range so y'all can also recover off road. I think Rory mentioned sumtin about 6 axle wreckers that can't do rock trails without issues. 2 axles with capabilities that other wreckers don't have. Matt's got stuck trying to go up that hill that was sand like Rory's did. Fab Rats flew up it. So having sand capabilities is a must as well.
That guy actually stopped by Matt's shop while Matt was out of town and Tom Tom bought them.
I'm stoked on this build
I always love to see these ground up builds, so im in for that.
Independent suspension is not the way to go for a trail rig and a rotator is going to be crazy heavy. If you can get the center of gravity low enough it could work in the more mild trails. Should work well everywhere the HETT can go plus a bit further
These are all the same things i told Matt when he picked up a couple of these.
Friendly competition is such a great thing to see among the TH-camr community and I am excited to see how it all turns out
This will bo doubt be the heaviest offroad wrecker. Also the most dramatic. Would like to see it in the Offroad Games. Tip: go get a vcr already heavyd 😉
Ok now this might be a great build best build on this channel.
I’m excited to see Murphy’s Diesel 5500 Wrecker at the Off-road Games and now you’re going to be there too, it’s going to be worth the trip from Pennsylvania. Thanks for sharing!
Let's not forget he's the king of building large axle tech full size rigs . Looking forward to this build
But you guys will knock it out of the ballpark like always you guys are the bomb your crew is awesome. God bless you all
Can't wait to see this build!
It’s the Humvees’s knees!!!cannot wait to see the progression and results. Good luck to everyone entering the competition.
Nothing better than friendly competition with a bunch of friends, will be interesting to watch all the little games they play on each other’s
Hey Dave this is Tim from Suffolk I can't wait to see this build, you guys be safe and have fun with this project.
Finally a build video !!
Gonna be a tough one if this wrecker gets stuck lol. Might be challenging to keep a low center of gravity with a rotator.
having a rotator on the back end is probably the worst idea of all for an off road truck. thats why you dont see them an anything but hard top!
Yeah he’ll have to have stabilizers or something
It will have enough winches to get itself out.
Have to put water in the tires like if that's an issue.
@@ozzypawsborneprinceofbarkn3249 gonna be a heavy beast 😲
I'm sure you'll go bigger, it all depends on the trail. Some wont even fit a dually, some even have a width limit. If building for the wrecker games I'm sure you go and see how big Sand Hallows triple 7s or whatever its called is at its narrowest and make sure you fit, and can turn tight enough.
You do what you do! All others can only dream!
Can't wait. Just call it unstoppable
8:17 love seeing one of my favorite YT channels use one of our customer part. Knapheide uses our software to cut the parts for that truck bed!!!
Looking forward to this build. Like the idea of you guys getting even more involved with the off-road community
Holy moly this is going to be incredible
Matt is going to make a 6x6 C30 off/on hwy recovery truck. 😊
Pretty excited to hear you are aiming for Matt’s wrecker games.
In 2025 perhaps? Don't know if he has enough staff+hours before the 2024 competition to get this done.
just glad to see friendly competition and just happy to see you're still giving matt credit for having the largest for the time being, also hes had those axles for a while also dont know when this was filmed so its just interesting
@@krisa3685 ah that's where you got me didn't know who that was till you mentioned him. how well does he give back to the community like matt and dave, ill probably check him out if he does. also matt hasn't released video of the new build with the axles...
Love the spirit you guys are bringing to this. Would've been a lot cheaper and easier to stay in Utah and just make a video sitting on top of the HET...
But instead, you treat the world to THIS!
Battle-axe for sure, and play the reggae song, "Small Axe"!!
I can't wait to see her in action!
Definitely can’t to see this thing be built. Matt’s big wrecker is almost too big for some of the trails he does recoveries so excited to see how yours turns out.
But he always gets them out. Just 1 time that he's had a challenge is when the dude rolled over on a mountain bike trail.
Look forward to see the build, definitely be some straight up competition this year
I have built those axles as well as the cougar cat 2 which is what those are from. They are monsters that are almost impossible to break!
For a year I have been working on the world's biggest off-road wrecker I'll say I started with an old cabover and added a cab from the same year conventional and a second conventional so it's a 6 foot cabover with a rotator boom and outriggers with a hydraulic winch system that will lift 85 ton at 56 feet extension and a 30 degree angle all while 9 people sit comfortably in the cab and enjoy the built-in soda dispenser and ice machine we have 8 hydrologic winches and 8 warren 25 ton winches and a real wheel lift stinger so nothing will be slamming into the back of our toe truck
Looking forward to this build already. Thanks, Dave for all you do for everyone and for all of us.
I really love that you challenge the rest of the big recovery teams! I will love this build series.
Good luck, I like your recovery videos, same with Matt's off road recovery.
Y’all are awesome!
Hope to see you in March at the Off-Road Games. We might have to have seperate classifications for wreckers some day. Power on.
Can’t wait to see the final product. I will definitely be watching each episode of the series
Brother I remember when you guys started wish the best for all of you guys
The name for the hummer to me would be Sledgehammer
Leave it to Dave Sparks to one-up the competition! Love it 😍 Excited for this build and seeing you at the Wrecker Games in March!
March 2025.
With the overall beefiness of the build along with having a rotator I would go technical with the name and call it "Rotating Mass". Looking forward to seeing this build so please show lots of your awesome content!
Call the wrecker, the BRUTE!
So excited to see part two
I assume Matt's gonna use those big axles for the potato truck he's turning into an offroad rollback.
Yea he kinds said he had them because somebody I'm his crew were moving them around the yard on day and it was at about the same time he made a video or two about that spud truck.... your probably right
I was wondering about those axles.
@@brianyazzie4538 yea someone else in the comment section also reminded me that Matt bought that buss to turn into a shuttle to get people moved around for the off-road Olympics also so probably the spud truck or the off-road buss
Dragging through the mud is just part of the deal, love all the off road content and I can see where some criticism came from and appreciate the work you all do
Will be enjoying your build.
