Final Touches Before Major Assembly For The Largest Off Road Wrecker! 

Matt, you're a pretty smart guy, I hope they keep you around at Lizzie's Off Road Recovery.

4:12 I'm glad Ed has a place to hang out and have fun in his old age. 👍

"Inside all kinds of alarms are going off..." That was pure gold, and I know exactly what he meant! Moments later, Matt admonishing us not to remove safety features from tools - shaking a finger at us with black electrical tape covering up some minor injury. More gold...

I love how Ed knows what hes supposed to do when the camera is pointed at him lol. Matt just walking by with camera in hand and Ed just starts doing the weather report. What a great guy.

I just love seeing Matt wear PPE. Especially safety glasses while you grind. DO NOT LOSE AN EYE MATT. The world needs you!!! From Australia.

The only constant in life is change. Best of luck to Trevor, Skeeter and Rudy. Welcome Tom.

Love that Tom-Tom is going to be on the channel more, but I'm really going to miss Trevor and Skeeter. I wish nothing but the best for them and whatever they're doing now. My favorite part of this channel is all the different characters. The builds and recoveries are nice, but it's the crew that keeps everyone coming back.

I wish Trevor and Skeeter the best in whatever their next endeavor is. The truck is coming along nice!

Pain is a good teacher...in life. Order the parts ahead of time instead of waiting for them. Obviously you'll still be waiting for parts.

The "You should not do it" being punctuated by the finger with the electrical tape bandage really drove the issue home. Nice work gents (and Lizzy), it's looking amazing.

Videos on the Heavy Wrecker are my Favorite! Can't wait to see it doing recoveries of some big stuff.

A tip for Lizzy. Your welds are looking very sound and uniform. The settings are perfect by the sound. One thing I would suggest is to speed up your travel and put a quick whip or back puddle (1/8"-3/16") to it. This will downsize your fillet to bring them closer to spec (1/2 the thickness of the smallest thickness material you're welding) The increase in speed will make your welds arrow straight and give them that machined look. This isn't intended to be negative at all because I think you have natural skills in your application.

You can tell how in touch Matt is with his community by all the help he gets from retailers around him. The community gives back when you give to it.

Thanks for Keeping Mr Ed Around He Remines Me of My Dad. Enjoy Your Blog AJ Mrfixit East,Texas

ED is the best. Wasn't even asked for a weather report but still gave us one. Happy holidays to all of you and your families

You guys don't know how much I appreciate your channel. 30+ years of carpentry and now that I am retired I want to work with metal. I actually learn a lot from you guys.

I'm like a little kid at Christmas lol I can't wait to see that Beast at work on the trails . Thank you so much for taking us on this journey with the HEAVY WRECKER 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👍👌

Lizzy "I'm gunna be here till I leave" This girl speaks the truth!

“I’m going to be here until I leave.” Another fantastic Lizzie’ism.

Lizzy is the daughter every father wishes he had!! My hats off to her Dad and mom it's a team effort to have a well adjusted can do attitude young lady!

Ed has had some extra energy in him lately. It's great to see. Tom is a score to have for an employee. Trevor and Skeeter will always be missed. Heck, I still wonder how Randy is once in awhile. edit: Safety disclaimers while pointing the bandaged finger was funny.

Holly cow, Lizzie's welds are really starting to look phenomenal Good work Lizzie! Nice to see somebody take pride and joy in their work

Whoever's doing your audio now deserves a raise. SO much better than before when I'd constantly have to turn down the volume for the grinding / cutting, and turn up to hear ya'll talk. Great job!

Flog has some of the BEST looking bumpers I've seen in a while.

Great to have Tom Tom in the shop. Keep up the great work.

Matt’s attitude towards these things is hilarious. But he’s also really clever underneath it all. He’s one of those capable people who just gets things done. Brilliant channel.

Who ever taught Lizzy welding did a good job plus it seems that she takes a lot of pride in her work, good job!

Lizzy's welding is top notch! She has talent and a good teacher. Well done Tom.

Gotta say, I love the safety info with the Band Aid-ed finger reinforcing the message.

The A Team 💛 totally dominate’s the Zeppelin of wreckers 💛 Thxs for sharing

Get a good air dryer for the plasma, that will fix that issue. Don't care how dry the outside air is, it's wet once compressed and cooled. Water causes the air to be more conductive, and eats the tips out. If you are close to the power limit of the tip, it will blow them out instantly. You can tell when the air dryer needs to be replaced on a cnc by how long the tip lasts! I recommend a good desiccant dryer dedicated for the plasma, just make sure to install a valve on the inlet. Otherwise when you disconnect it the desiccant will be exposed to room air. Get silica gel based one, and you can buy the silica beads in bulk and reuse them. You just bake them at 250F for 30 min, and they are as good as new!

I love Ed. I hope he is on this side of the grass for many more years!

That Lizzy turned out to be one fine welder. Glad to see the addition ofTom Tom to the team. I do miss Trevor though. Love watching the work on the wrecker, can’t hardly wait to see it finished.

Oh my Matt, is Santa 🎅🏼 beard, toy shop and elf’s that just love what they do!

Matt his wife, Lizzy and Ed are my favorites EVERYONE ELSE is expendable

Tom is a great addition to the full time crew. Always enjoy watching Lizzie weld.

Matt if you ever want a spray to use on something where it will never rust in your lifetime consider using a product called Glyptol. It was invented by GE to coat the inside of large electric motors. The NASCAR boys now use it inside differentials and also inside the blocks of racing engines. I used it for years on the decks of truck cranes that were exposed to the fallout from acid plants and fertilizer plants and it's still holding up years later. Give it a try. You will love it except for the price.

I have never been disappointed with the pace of the wrecker, it’s just one of those things in your line of work. I enjoy watching everything you get involved with. Its at about the same speed as Paul and Bens wrecker. You have so much to do along with running a business that there is always more work than time in a day to do it. You keep it all going Matt by prioritizing the jobs that need doing in order of importance and end up with a mad dash rush at the end to get ready for whatever it is comes your way. It’s the same with Fab Rats, Rory and crew, Chad and I am sure many others. The thing I like is that you never seem to let these things faze you. You just take it all in your stride and keep going. Your suck it and see style of fabrication might give some people cause for concern but for me, I just think of all the amazing things you have done, your vehicles are outstanding and that’s all down to having a blue print (ish) inside your head and a card cad program in your shop, if it works, why try and fix it? Kudos to you all, I do miss Rudy not being around and will miss Trevor and Skeeter, Trevor was always blamed for everything by shouting Treeeeeevor, I will miss those guys and wish them all the very best in what they are doing. I have always liked Tom; he is a good addition to your team and somehow you always manage to have a friendly capable team around you Matt that the show will go on. Stay safe all of you and I look forward to the next one.

Lizzy and Ed has become a staple in MORRs videos!

TWO ace welders in the shop, it's the Lizzy and Tom-Tom show! Can't wait to see and hear it finished now..

Man it's looking good. Firewall turned out awesome as well. Great job everyone. Lizzy is doing a great job too. 👏

Rudy took so much with him when he decided to go out on his own. Make sure y'all send him some love.

Lizzy's welding is so good and great to have Tom Tom full time, the project is coming along really good, Bilstien will have a solution for the shocks. "I will be here until I leave" great line. In Australia we say "I'll see you later" even if you may never see them again and the response, sometimes, is "Not if I see you first", which makes absolutely no sense at all. Hi Ed, you're a champ!

Of all the builds out there on the 'Tube, this is the best.

Litzy is just killing it. She is Getting really good at welding. I think she could beat Paul at a wedding competition.

You will get the wrecker done, of that I'm sure !! You are running a business and filming episodes at the same time, I don't think anyone could call any of your crew lazy !! I know some people get on your case about it, but your real fans will wait and understand . Good stuff, keep up the good work !!

Beautiful sunny 27°F Sunday in southeast Indiana. No wind(finally)😉

This is getting exciting, soon we can see the Big Wrecker go to work! Your team has done an astounding job on this build Matt! I don't know how you would ever top this build with any project you might come up with! I wish you could bring Trevor back, I miss seeing him on the videos. I am glad Tom Tom is there, he will be a real asset to the team!

Liz, you are becoming a MASTER WELDER! VERY NICELY DONE INDEED..you are a super star🌟 👍👍!

WOW when the wreckers chassis rolls by the banana it give some real perspective on the size of that BEAST!!!!

I love that Matt emphasizes that you shouldn’t remove safety features from gear, by pointing at us with his finger that he burnt earlier, which, rather than being covered in a bandage, has a piece of electrical tape around it.

Ed has gotten so a custom to the camera that without asking an just seeing the camera walk by he breaks out a good ole weather report haha love it

I love how a hammer is one of Matt's main fab tools.

I watch Bad Chad every day. And Jolene. Lol . Just like I watch you . Thanks everyone for sharing .

Resonant frequencies, different thickness plates, dude, you're a Guru ! I get it !

Wow Matt, the firewall looks great! Love the build, can't wait to see the rig in action! You are an artist!

Lizzie works like a machine! She is very knowledgeable and not afraid to work hard and weld all day! What a wonderful person on the team!

Bad Chad is freaking awesome and one hell of a great guy..had the pleasure of meeting him on a few occasions including at his property for the Rockabilly car show weekend.. if you haven't heard about him definitely check him out

Good Ole CAD - Cardboard Aided Design, can't hardly be beat!

Ed’s old door on the wall looks sweet

Like to see all the team work can't wait to see it working.

A quick question. Have you considered using Dynomat on some internal surfaces (possibly even on the fire wall itself) to limit the transmission of engine noise into the cab? Keping the heat in and the engine noise out. Seems important now.

You folks are AWESOME... Watch your shows every day!

Nice having Tom toM on the channel. He’s a smart fella.

Hilarious as usual, and props to the lovely person doing all the editing, adding bits like the tear to Matt when he says "I may sound a little sad..", and adding the Complicated Math overlay to Lizzy as she's talking about about placing the 2x4 beam on the small dumpster. And .. it's all a setup to the first time that the Big Wrecker's actually used on it's first job. PS Love the old door to the Golden Nugget mounted on the wall. PPS I've been watching these videos for a long time. Keep up the good work! :)

I hear no alarms! I was sitting here watching and I was thinking you need to see who can guess how many spools of wire ya'll have used on the Largest Offroad Wrecker build. Great progress! One of these days I hope to make the 1482 mile drive to see it in action!

Good to see the progress being made on the WLOR Wrecker. Lizzy continuing to do an awesome job welding, Tom Tom also showing his expertise in welding and completing the firewall, making it look real pretty. I am confident by the time Matt gets done with this project that it will be an awesome looking wrecker, not just a bunch of parts thrown together to be functional like some wreckers are, but something that is appealing to the eyes. That new bumper on Blue Steel looks beefy. Looking forward to getting the transmission in so the rest of the wreck can take place. Great footage of the work being done.

"You should not do it", as he points his electrical taped finger at you.... Love It Matt!

Bad chad builds some very cool rids. Without a shop full of fancy equipment and talented builders.

well I agree you don't necessarily have to be the safest person in the shop the one thing I will say is always wear safety glasses. you can cut yourself or even lose a finger and Carry On Through Life perfectly fine but if you lose an eye it's devastating. my mom lost her eye in a freak accident when she was young and I almost lost my eye few years ago working in the shop. it can happen to anybody. now that you have air conditioning being installed you should really consider wearing safety glasses more often.

The wrecker is looking great. I can’t wait until it’s on the road! However, I really enjoy watching the work on the wrecker, and sorta like it better than the tows. I hope you have some other build in the future. Wow, Lizzy has turned into quite a nice welder! You better keep her happy as she can probably get a job as a welder making pretty good money. Great video!

Lizzy keeps impressing with her welding skills, great to see Tom-Tom becoming a regular part of the team.

Sign that floor board and sell it. Let everyone on the team sign it. Priceless.

Tom is a genuine artist with the electric glue.

I love how Ed immediately jumps into a weather report if he notices he's being recorded

I am not a welder but I have watched countless welding videos in an attempt to learn how. Lizzie is a welder. She is a very impressive young lady.

Ed will give you the “ weather report “ if you want it or not. Lol. Thanks Ed!

That floor jack with the big wheels is fricken brilliant!

20:03 oooooo boy, now that's a rebuild that Vise Grip would be proud of!!

Sucks Trevor is gone but good having more Tom Tom ! As long as Ed and Lizzy stick around everything is good 😎 Also been cool seeing Jefe step up recently and showing more confidence and being more comfortable on camera ! Oh and don't forget Rory refined Robbie's process...it's blowtorch and static now....much faster 🤣🤣🤣

love the unprovoked weather report from ol' Ed

Tom: "we could really use a new hood, this one is so bad." Also Tom: "this hood is too nice to use, don't want to ruin it"

Engineering at its finest..... Great looking bit of kit....

Suggestion for the ropes in in the banana and Morvair. Put hose spools for the lines and yellow milk crates for the soft shackles.

just seen Skeeter over at Robbies it was good to see him again.

We could have used a goodbye party for Trevor and Skeeter before they left. Something at least.

I know Rudy, skeeter, and Trevor moved on but can they do more cameos?

I'm glad you are getting back to basics. That was the reason many of us began watching you because you were mostly real not conjured up to gain attention. Don't forget to wear your seat belts. We want you guys to have long life.

Painting a firewall is always a major moral boost. Even if you’ve got to cut some pieces out, weld some brackets on, and touch up the paint again. Paint is magic for reviving the motivation juices.

dude, these videos are like an addiction. i think i may need help

Let's goooo

When cutting for the rust patch...so many fiery darts headed straight for the beard.

Great job Cody, looking good, check on you all tomorrow have a great day!!!

You should go to the desert more often there’s cars out there with a lot of holes in the firewall !

I'm happy TomTom is on the team full time now! He's great!

Lizzy looks like she is doing A Fine job 👁️👁️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tom Tom you are a good friend and great fabricator. Good video guys and you're getting closer. Cheers.

Ed’s thumbnails remind me of my Slovakian grandfather.. he had some serious claws, witnessed him drive a flat head screw into pine unassisted once. Talk about some legends!!

I've got that plasma cutter.... it looks like those plunge cuts, without a gouge tip, are diverting your arc on that thick metal. There's a manual somewhere that says start the arc at the edge of your work. Instead of having the torch perpendicular to the work, and going straight down... start with the torch at a big angle, then roll your hand up to perpendicular after the arc is lit. Good Luck Matt.

Great that Tom Tom is full on board but don’t forget Lizzy is the star of the show. She’s your anchor!
