We’re Building The World’s Biggest Wrecker! 

Oh Man! Let the friendly competition commence!

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

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.

That Ram is freaking INCREDIBLE!!!!!! The color, the sport hood, the utility bed, tires and wheels it’s just so sick 🤙

Building big is easy. Getting to actually go off-road on trails is another thing. I’m looking forward to the build.

The Hummersaurus wrecks !!! Totally looking forward to seeing how this beast turns out !!! Happy new year fellas 👍

Can't wait to see it! Hopefully, you start it soon!!!!!

Definitely nothing wrong with a little friendly competition👍

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.

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. 😂

Man, we’re excited for this series and thanks for hooking us up with OnX!

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.

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.

Dave, I'm looking forward to seeing the final product on this one, can't wait!! 😉👍 (and seeing it in action!)

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!!!!

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!

Can’t wait to see how Matt recovers this😜

I paused on the Couger pic. Dayum! Hummawrecker for the win! Awesome concept you have!

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!

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 cant wait, please make this a genuine build series and take us along for the whole ride. F-ups included. Love you guys!

Can't wait to see it complete and in use!!

Love your idea of a rotating boom on the Wrecker. I have asked others like Matt's if they could incorporate some kind of tank turret winch system, so maybe you could build winches around your boom system . Just a thought Name: "Sparkster".

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!

Major respect he is showing towards Matts Offroad Recovery.

That massive green thing can just make its own trails. Good luck, Matt will have to grow his wrecker now.

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 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!

I dig how all the off-road recovery RU-vidrs all hang out. It must be nice to be able to bounce ideas off each other. Makes great content too

Can't wait to see this come to life !

Thank you for continuing to do content. I love your channel and all of your content ❤

Matt saves Hummers all the time :)

@01:29 you have to be nominated by your audience for wrecker Olympics, per Mat's "rules. " 🌞

Here's the name for the biggest and baddest off road trail wrecker: "BRUTUS"........

“Last Resort” 🫡

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 😉

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

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.

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.

Really enjoy your excellent content along with your graceful demeanor.

That guy actually stopped by Matt's shop while Matt was out of town and Tom Tom bought them.

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 RU-vid look forward to the build guys

Those axles are cool af. gonna help you have a nice low center of gravity for using that crane you're tryna put on the back.

Oshkosh. Just 70 miles North of where I live. A few relatives work there. Yes they make big special trucks that are very good. I’m pretty sure they are expensive. I didn’t know they made those trucks you showed for the Army. Amazing how they put that much moving parts in those axles you bought! They’re not that big, but I bet they weigh a lot

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.

😂 Haha, Matt's Off-road Recovery rig, lives rent free in your mind's 😆 🤣 😂

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!

What a nice project, your explanation was great.

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.

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.

Call it the "6 Pack" ... looking forward to the build 🙌🍻

The trail Slayer...hell yeah.. one love fam ❤️

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!

Matt be like "Hold my Mountain Dew!" Looking forward to the project.

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"!!

Haha the moment I saw Matt post that wrecker last year I knew it was going to be the start of the wrecker war between you two. You should just pull your pants down and whip it out there and get it over with. 😂

These are the videos that we need. Let's get back to building bad ass rigs like you did on discovery.

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 ...

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

Love all the stuff you guys build always very inspiring!

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!!!

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.

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

REALLY beautiful Truck! OMG. So Nice.... Much ❤ Guys

It’s the Humvees’s knees!!!cannot wait to see the progression and results. Good luck to everyone entering the competition.

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!

Minotaur is my choice of name... Am yet to see the build 👷 of this Humvee, any Highlander modification? 2008 model classic restoration?

Looking forward to this build. Like the idea of you guys getting even more involved with the off-road community

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!

That's Crazy !! ... Letz get it on !!

Some friends ain't really friends. Two faced . Keep em coming Dave- ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Friendly competition is such a great thing to see among the RU-vidr community and I am excited to see how it all turns out

Let's not forget he's the king of building large axle tech full size rigs . Looking forward to this build

I wouldn't ordinarily think of D and Matt in the same league. D goes for projects that are much larger, whereas Matt tends to stick w/ everyday problems. You want a broken RV out of a lake bed, that's Matt, you want that same RV delivered to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, then D's your man. Plus, both are missing one simple fact, D has a BLACKHAWK; short of a Chinook, that is the ultimate offroad wrecker. Difference? No insurance will pay D for that option on a recovery, unless it's a commercial recovery of unique circumstances. Best of luck to both anyway, love the games.

Hope to see you in March at the Off-Road Games. We might have to have seperate classifications for wreckers some day. Power on.

Looking forward to this build already. Thanks, Dave for all you do for everyone and for all of us.

Dave an team you have the ability to build an amazing tow rig an I’m sure you will think of every part as your team is true talented and creative

Look forward to see the build, definitely be some straight up competition this year

Gonna be a tough one if this wrecker gets stuck lol. Might be challenging to keep a low center of gravity with a rotator.

Matt’s offroad recovery holds the title in my eyes. He built it with his hands and his crew. He didn’t hire it out. You have a cool concept but will never hold the title.

Sounds very cool brother, have you thought of or considered adding center extending stabilizers, really it would be center and rear stabilizers to make sure no matter what you do or where you do it you always stay level and up right running you rotator. Simple pass thought extensions that have legs that can be slide into the end knuckles would work best as long as you set the pass through cores to have like a five degree rise and drop at the ends of the core pass threw tubes using either hydraulics or a screw drive system to give down pressure. Regardless can't wait to see your wreck crushing and recovering beast. Just call it your tomahawk crusher. LoL

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

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.

Matt is going to make a 6x6 C30 off/on hwy recovery truck. 😊

With that mad crane on the top It needs a name that really shows off that feature. The Puppeteer! All the wires & bits in the concept art really gave it that feel.

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

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

Ok now this might be a great build best build on this channel.

This is going to be epic. I love matt's stuff and trail mater too. Watched a lot of your vids and this series should be great. Subbed and ready . Although in my mind looks to big for trails I'm sure you know your trails better than I .

Part of what makes these other off road wreckers special is the ingenuity without spending like money is no object. I mean, if you want to show how much more money you have than anyone else, I guess go for it. But if you really want to impress people, keep it real man.

Can’t wait to see the final product. I will definitely be watching each episode of the series

Mankat 8x8 tank recovery unit, had this one sewn up nearly 40 years ago

I designate this the beast of the desert as the Hummercabra not just a monster. But a legend

I really love that you challenge the rest of the big recovery teams! I will love this build series.

the OG is BSF Recovery

Can't wait to see this build!

HumWreck my joice for a name. I follow your channel for about 3 Years and i enjoy watching it, seeing all the cool builds you punched out over the years, can't wait to see your version of The World's Biggest Wrecker. I'm sure it's going to be awesome.

Honestly I cant wait to see more of this project, I hope you guys push them out lmao. Thanks for the content and keep it up guys.

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.

Im kinda partial to the name OMNI-TOW-TENT. The ultimate god of a trail towing machine.
