It Doesn't Get Much Harder Than This...Pushed To The Limits!
So I got a call for a Ford Explorer stuck in one of the worst spots I've seen.

I can't believe people are blaming Chad. Chad rushed to get the wrecker ready in times for the games. It's a testament to Chad's near OCD level of organization that given the time constraints that the entire harness doesn't need to be scrapped and started new. To just be chasing small gremlins is a huge win for the job Chad was asked to do.
Considering he didn’t even have time to even field test his fabrications after design,build and install the small gremlins they are chasing should be considered a miracle.
If you blame Chad you probably have never built a car's wiring harness from scratch in your life, or your project is still in the garage waiting to be perfect, everyone else gets it good enough and then field fixes what they find later.
No one will appreciate his work. Only those who know how much that work consumes the time
I was actually concerned this wrecker was becoming a technological nightmare, I'm honestly shocked at the amount of work Chad and his guys were able to accomplish in such a short amount of time.
Chad got what was comin to him. He's a perv anyway
The fact that the Wrecker can do *dramatic hand motions* ALL OF THAT, without lockers, and "its not done yet" is amazing, impressive, I love it and I'm excited to see the Wrecker get into some dramatic stuff
I love how Jamie just hops in and drives that wrecker. A lot of people would be intimated by such a beastly invention.
She's known that wrecker since before it was born, lol.
Amazing to watch the wrecker climb up the muddy sides of that river. That was truly a tough recovery, the way that Explorer was stuck in the mud.
It always amazes me at Matts willingness to to get his feet wet. There's few things that annoy me as much as having water over the top of my boots & them fill with water. His "by whatever means necessary" attitude is commendable. Great recovery 👌
When I get a new pair of boots the first thing I do (as long as it's not winter) is soak them for an hr then wear them till they're dry it form fits the leather to your foot something grandpa taught me when he got me my first pair of cowboy boots to show I was ready to start helping on the farm
Can’t do Matt’s Off-Road Recovery if you don’t want to get dirty.
where he lives they are dry in 2 min
I'm always amazed by the capabilities of these vehicles. Their performance under all conditions is incredible.
They excel at the purpose they were built for once the little gremlins are worked out of the wrecker it'll be even Morr of a beast than it already is
The more I see of Rhett the more impressed I am. He may still be a kid, but he's very observant and consistently shows that he knows more about off-road recovery than most adults. And hats off to Colby (and Rhett, I'm assuming) for the great camera work. 👍
i don't know...seems like that thing is always broken....stupid diffs won't lock this episode
How many offroad wreckers have you built?oh none? Eat those words now because that truck has been incredible since then@robanderson4137
@@coyoteden3773 People can have their opinions Dude, try not being such a fanboy!
Chad rocked it. That wrecker is already impressive. Can’t wait to see you iron out the bugs.
one of the best things about this channel is watching y'all fix the known unknown problems that arise. its surprising when a recovery goes without any problems at all.
Open the noor🐕
Chad is a electrical genius and his oldest boy is to himself nothing but love for ol Chad and he seems to be a excellent human
He's no electrical genius, the dude has the electrical sense of a Pepsi can. Let's not get this twisted. The dude might have been able to do it, but it's not done well. 6 weeks is plenty of time to wire up a vehicle. He's slow and inefficient. Just because he's on KZhead doesn't make him good, let's leave credit to our electrical boys where it belongs. We're only seeing the problems that Matt and crew feel like sharing with us, not the entire story, and after seeing what he did, it's not great. I'm all for giving credit where it's due, but Chad aint it. Good on Matt for supporting his team though, it's good to see.
@db are ya goin fer da most cantankerous comment?? Ifn ya are , with that lonnng winded rant ya got my vote 👍 nice job circl’n ur waggn’s at the end 🙃 Well done sir 😎
@@dBJerryI highly doubt there’s an ECU on that wrecker. I know it has a lot of auxiliary features but it’s just wires, fuses, probably a few relays. You can usually tell if someone is good by their routings.
I love candy crush🍫🍬🍩🍭
@@Slide4Diddyyou are wrong. The 8.1 liter has an ECU.
Matt always has something up his sleeve that gets the job done. It might not be pretty but he gets the job done. It's always fun to see what he does. He also knows how to handle the peanut gallery. A man of many talents!
Matt is was a pleasure meeting you and your boy after the derby in juab county. Glad to see he is recovering well from his surgery.
The smiles at 16:00 say it all -- Matt is BEEEEEMing with satisfaction of what his BIG BAD WRECKER has done --- Heee Haaa and Jamie is SO Proud of him -- Beautiful ! !
Chad did an amazing job for sure! Great recovery!
That heavy wrecker is an absolute BEAST. Great work again MORR.. That heavy wrecker is an absolute BEAST. Great work again MORR..
Matt at his most professional and his most humble, rescued a 4×4 and a large grub, l salute you kind Sir ❤
Those of us who were watchin knows what Chad and his crew did and why. He did an amazing good job! Anybody whose trash talkin either didn’t see that part or is just bein a jerk. Cool to see the wrecker earning its keep, not many vehicles could have done that job 👍
Never underestimate the power of the Internet to bring out the jerks of this world.
Every time I think "There's no way...", you find a way to git 'er done. Well put, Jaymie - "We don't have 'no' in us."
When that big wrecker starts to look like a normal vehicle you know you're in deep doodoo. Incredible job guys!
The wrecker coming through the bushes was something out a b tier horror film. I love that thing so much.
I really don’t know why anyone would ever doubt this team. You guys rock!
I was going to say, Colby, you got some great shots and yes we did see you in the river above your knees. You're a trooper. That was a tough job and even though the wrecker wasn't up to 100%, it got the job done. Thanks for the video, all of you.
I love to fly car🚘
He's going to have to get himself some waders...
Loved, "we don't have no in us". I have always told my kids and grand kids, "can't never could". Attitude is everything in all things!
This was the job the wrecker was built for, it finally happened. Just awesome.
Wow! What an impressive recovery. That mud and those river banks were insane. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Flash floods will make for some interesting conditions
Was thinking the same thing.
17:34 I appreciate how kind Matt is to critters. Aww Tom you’re cool 😊 20:38
The fact that Matt also has a garden is awesome. A well-rounded individual 👍🏻
I get those in my garden but not that big, I throw them nextdoor for the free range chickens to eat....
@@Bumblebee4788 I toss them in my duck pond next to my garden the squishy and bug infested fruit and vegetables I find get tossed over the garden fence for the chickens my birds keep my yard grasshopper free
I was once "rescued" in my '74 GMC Jimmy by a buddy with a "borrowed" logging skidder. Why does the Wrecker remind me of that day? Mostly because it comes across as unstoppable. The articulation combined with the rear steering, the tires and the power make the Wrecker an awesome offroad recovery vehicle. The combination of winches beats a logging skidder hands down.
Love the way the wrecker sounds when Matt gets on the Gas. Awesome recovery.
We had a saying in Vietnam... 'The difficult we do immediately, the impossible just takes a little more time. Well done as always...
That would have been difficult, without that wrecker. Every time it goes out, it proves its worth, and shows where its weak and those times get fewer and fewer.😀. killer show, nice editing, great attitude.
The wrecker is a fantastic piece of kit. I want one!
What a job. That took specialized equipment and a lot of skill and experience. Bravo!
It's really satisfying to see the Big wrecker at work and so well suited for most jobs! It will be good to see it get it's lockers back in full time action so it can even excel more at what it does so well! Rhett is sure turning out to be a top hand for the team. But we still miss Lizzy and 'The Fall Guy'!
Great video! I’m happy to see the wrecker in action. It takes time to perfect any custom build, & it will be a fun process seeing the wrecker becoming more complete & fit for purpose. I also enjoy seeing more of Colby on these jobs. His happy, positive attitude is a great addition.
Will the wrecker ever be completely in a working order.
Agreed, love seeing the wrecker in action. I remember just after it was built and Rory said (JOKINGLY) "I don't know why you're having issues cause when I built mine everything worked perfectly from the start". LOLOL
@@karelbeck7045 It is currently in a form of working order, as it did the job, i doubt it'll ever be problem free, because of the punishing job it does but thats just the reality of the job.
@@karelbeck7045 Of course it will. Though working vehicles like that are in constant need of maintenance. Especially being a complete scratch built one-of-a-kind custom. It's not like they can take it to the World's Largest Off Road Wrecker Dealership. Designed themselves, built themselves, and fix themselves. That's quite an accomplishment. I bet they're not in Cult-45. They're too smart for that!
No other vehicle would have been able to do that rescue with such ease. The wrecker is a beast!
"It's got lettuce so it's healthy." I approve that message.
I am impressed how Matt doesn't judge his customers. It is a sign of extreme ability but also humility. Manhood 101.
Watching Tom being completely unhelpful with that air hose at 18:40 was hilarious.
Lol right!!!! How was yelling watching the video at Tom to drop the hose it would've been easier to roll up lol🤣
@@jerrymestas1231what??)
@@jerrymestas1231me, too, in my mind. Lol
@@kjsgarden lol!!!!!🤣🤣 so much for speaking into the phone🤦🏼♂️ I showed it to my wife and she was busting up😂 I think this one makes sense🤔
I thought that was Tom's job!
That heavy wrecker is an absolute BEAST. Great work again MORR.
Excellent recovery guys....Jamie just blows me away....that girl has more hair on her a$$ than most men....she's up for any challenge and IS NOT afraid to drivr,climb,jump anything.....Matt's one lucky fella
Ok. I've been watching from the beginning and this might be my favorite. Watching the wrecker push through that deep mud is very satisfying. And then when Matt had to bomb up those steep river berms -- that wrecker is a FORCE OF NATURE!!! WOW!
You guys might want to plumb that air setup with metallic tubing in that hot location, then change to your plastic tubing where the heat isn't a problem.
Flash floods in the desert are terrifying. Glad that the customer and his family got to safety.
those air lines you've got in the hot area of the wrecker. rather than switch the whole lot out for hose, you can actually get that same size of air tube in PTFE which will handle a higher ambient temperature. it's also cross compatible with the fittings you have. Might be usefull info for you guys :) Amazing video, cool as heck to see the wrecker perform a super super hard muddy bog recovery!
Good thing you don’t charge retail for these recoveries..just driving to the job site would have been double the value of that old Explorer! You guys are amazing.
Freaking impressive folks! Confidence in the wrecker just grows higher and higher👊🏻👍🏻💪🏻
The day they find something it can't recover is the day they need an 8x8 military wrecker but with the axles TomTom bought and the C65 Matt picked up (my guess on what those axles will end up under) in Idapimp (yankum ropes HQ) and build the worlds largest off-road rollback (again my guess what the plans are for that beautiful machine) to complete the off-road recovery fleet if needed and able to get within winch reach they'll have a vehicle that can recover it
The wrecker is just such a beast! It's a custom car with incredible specs, it's only natural you run into certain issues
It's amazing that you have been able to build an offroad wrecker from the bottom and a white piece of paper like this. The rig is incredible and an impressiv construction. A construction that should be fantastic good also in other situations and other industries. Just think of one simple thing, tractors used on bad roads or paved roads. The problem often is that a rig is good on the fields or offroad, but not so good on different types of roads. Some will maybe be angry with me, but I have never seen a rig like this one. I'm bowing my disabled old body in the dust because I'm madly impressed. Congratulations to Matt, Tom and all the rest of the team. You are really doing an impressiv job, but I have in a relatively short time written so much praise of you that I have to be careful that you shouldn't just take off my friends😅.
That was a lot of fun to watch. I like recoveries like this where there is a lot of technical stuff that I would never have thought to do, even if I had the same equipment. I can honestly say, if it had been me and my friends out there with the same equipment, we would all still be there.
Rhett is really stepping up and learning the business and how things are done.
Definitely better for a kid than having their nose burried in a screen playing games all day most my kids have automotive related careers a couple went the fabrication/welding route 1 works for the co-op and my oldest boy is now the DON (director of nursing) at the nursing home he worked in the kitchen throughout high school and while they paid for his CNA classes he just keeps taking the next step everytime he gains a new title (he's the youngest and first male DON they've ever had) and on top of working long hrs for a living they've all bought into the family farm we call a hobby and somehow we all find time to work in our 25 acre garden so we don't buy much food at the store and I take fruits vegetables eggs and honey to the farmers markets around the area we use that money to feed the yard birds slaughter steers and hogs and our guard dogs that run the first 300 acres I purchased myself (my kids all got 10 acres along side mine overlooking the river to build their house into the hill for a copy of their high school diploma I could hang in my family room) they all grew up in my shop now they have their own shops next to my salvage and towing yard the 10 acre bribe for a diploma began with my oldest daughter and set of twins who were going to drop out of school to take care of me and the farm when I was all messed up in a wreck and couldn't work they all ended up going to trade school and I helped them build and start their own shops and they're all taking a college buissnes course to learn the bookwork side of it anyway before I got distracted my point was it's good to see kids with a good work ethic still instead of glued to a screen
the wrecker is a beast.... and you guys have the greatest job in the world... congratulations Matt & the whole team
This was probably my favourite recovery you've posted. Really pushed the wrecker to its limit and yet still got the job done. Great work, great video (as always)
Great Job! The wrecker is doing a tremendous job. Thanks to the driver😊
Oh man Matt's recovery team had a very tough. The biggest wrecker is so awesome nothing else would have done this recovery. Glad Matt got the lockers working. Jaymie is so awesome she loves that big wrecker and so do we! Rhett, Colby, and Tom did a good job assisting with this recovery too. Good recovery video Moor team! Love seeing you stop at Fab Rats and checking out the new shop and trailer turnaround spot. Always good to see Paul, Ben, Hunter and the team there.
What a recovery! Great work Tom and crew. Jamie is just down for anything!
Hey now.
Brown cow
Honestly been loving these "old school" type videos that renind me of Matt and Rudy back in the day. Keep it up MORR team!
That wrecker is amazing and the look on your face is priceless, when you get on it. Good stuff!
With Matt’s driving style and maintenance habits, how could anybody ever blame Chad.
man oh man, the wrecker just keeps blowing my mind every single time you take it out on a job. its list of abilities seem to be endless and im always left pleasantly surprised! I absolutely LOVE the wrecker! Thank you all again for another awesome video!!
Seeing the wrecker do wrecker things is very satisfying. I can't imagine how it feels to operate something you built to things other vehicles just can't.
Really cool recovery! Love your channel. Just a reminder for you checklist: Fix the air for the locker
Put it on the white board 😊
Great to see the wrecker back out in it's element. It is a fantastic tool that gives true benefits to your business.
I already said this before that the wreaker is a beast and always gets the job done. Matt's recovery vehicles are very well built and are great tools to use.
You guys never cease to amaze me. Your whole operation is awesome. Your wife said it best, " You don't have NO in you." Great job guys. And tell Tom he can't flat foot in mud.😂😂😂
I loved seeing you guys do something outside of your normal recovery. Being born and raised in BSF land my whole life that looks to be a more normal recovery lol. Mud and more mud is what we have. Interesting to see how you navigated the muddy parts. 4x4ing in the Midwest I can tell you don't see it all that often! Lol. Great video guys! God bless
Chad is the man. Thank you for your work on the WLORW
Thank you guys for saving us. You’re Awesome!!
Matt, you needed the big wrecker for jobs like this. What an amazing machine! Another great show from the Matt's Off Road Team!
"Here we see.. this. Theres the old stuff" is just the right amount of words for the tour..
matt and co are out here building iconic vehicles that perform AND look cool. great job as usual guys!
You guys did a great job designing the wrecker for the job you do, improving it all the time the cliff jobs you do are unreal 5:53 thanks for your tapes.
all the recoveries you do are phenomenal but as a guy who as been playing guitar for 60 years I really admire whoever the guitar player or players who work on your sound tracks. Those are some awesome musicians!
The way you pulled that out is how cable skidders pull wood. They will kick the winch into free spool. Then Climb over the obstacle then pull then wood back into them.
Wonderful video and crew. The wrecker is one badass machine for sure. It is almost impossible to stop, and I am sure Matt will just keep making it better with Tom. I sure liked the sign on the back of the Ford that said, "cancer sucks." If the customer or his family has cancer, I wish them nothing but the very best outcoming! Fab Rats shop looks great!
I hope my guess is right on the next build and those monster military axles TomTom got awhile back go under that C65 Matt picked up and the worlds largest off-road rollback gets built to complete their growing fleet of off-road recovery vehicles and I agree with the cancer sucks sticker I have them stickers made in 6 inch pink letters for all my vehicles and 2 inch for my tractors combines and all other motorized farm equipment we get it's the first modification I make in memory of all family and friends lost to that misery
That wrecker is very impressive. Great build!
I can't get enough of the breathtaking landscapes and heart-pounding action in this video.
Great to see the wrecker tested... it's truly a beautiful beast!
Rhett is really learning the physics of the job. Yall and fab rats' kids are growing up way too fast! Tom is an excellent play by play narrator!
Super cool to see the world's largest off road wrecker doing some serious recovery work! I watched the build episodes wondering if this beast was worth all the effort and gladly I say it was! great engineering and execution you guys!
That wrecker is a BEAST!!! I love it, fixable flaws an all.
That mud and Jaymie's sandals won't get along, lol. That mud is a shoe stealer. And can't say it enough, that wrecker is a beast! 6:12 "Cancer sucks". Yep. I got over mine 20 years ago now...
I absolutely love this video. There is nothing like recovery and getting muddy. Seeing Fab Rats, you couldn't ask for more!😊 Thank you for sharing!
The last three videos of the Wrecker makes it apparent why you put in the rear steer. Without that your job would not have been very possible. Also good to see the dedication of your 'camera crew'. Mud, rain, dust sand...whatever, they are there to document everything going on. BTW - Still miss seeing Lizzy on your recoveries. Hope she is doing great with her ranch life.
Chad IS the man when it comes to rigging! That job would have been near impossible without the wrecker. The wrecker passed with flying colors, but will be better with the lockers. Great work! You & your team are a class act!
I'm sure Matt will be thrilled to finally get 4 wheel drive on the wrecker.
I was wondering why are you don’t add jump seats to the heavy wrecker on top of the toolboxes
Agree, it would be a good cameraman position and maybe a .50 cal or a laser on the other side (or a big drinks cill box!)
I love watching these recoveries and learning all the little tips and tricks. It seems no matter what, Matt and Crew always find a way to recover the vehicle in need.
I love mud recoveries. A true test of equipment and knowledge on using such equipment. Good job Team MORR.
I get you, that complicated of a build needs a lot of shakedown time. Great video, keep them coming.
Matt - those mud tires don't work if they arent spinning fast enough to clear the treads. Put the pedal to the floor and let the mud fly. You can see that they just held onto the mud and turned into slicks.
Yeah, but you can use mud just as sherp. Swim through it. If you eject all the mud it will lay on the axels.
@@tramvaj12 Exactly, you have to have a good idea of what is under your layer of mud. If it is is harder below it, then sure spin out if you think you won't bottom out. However, in a situation like this where you are on a river that just flooded, there is no guarantee there is a reachable bottom and you could wind up stuck. Sticking the "World's Largest Off-road Recovery Vehicle" means there aren't really many things that will be getting you out.
Agreed, let those tires eat!!
Would sipes help?
@@bulldozer7656 if there's no bottom then you're stuck
What a lot of folks tend to forget is that this wrecker is a full one-off build. Nothing is stock or unmodified. The fact that it does what it does now and it isn't even finished says a lot about the people that built it.
Man that wrecker is a BEAST and sounds like one also!!!!! Love it!!!!
so army corp of engineers "The difficult we do right now, the impossible will take a little longer" chad did what he could with the time he had in the deadline he was given, as matt said, it was a rush job because he needed it for the wrecker games, he did 6mos of work in a 14 day slog, stay safe out there guys
Chacos are definitely the choice footwear for this trip. Good on ya Jamie.
You guys are an inspiration!! "We don't have no in us." Thank you for making such incredible video stories!
The worm at 17:38 is a tobacco hornworm. Most of us can't stand them because they eat our tomato plants, but I'm glad you did that one a favor!
Glad to see The wrecker out would love to see more videos with the world’s largest off-road wrecker
eventually we have seen the wrecker used for what it was built for! well done
Matts face at 15:32 climbing that bank. He LOVES that wrecker period.
ANY new system will have problems. The fact that the machine was ready for the games is a testament to the planning and execution of a very difficult task. Well done Chad's fab and Matt's Off Road Recovery.
I enjoyed this one! Good to see the Heavy Wrecker again too, it's been a while. Sure would like to see all it's little problems solved tho. Losing air compression, lockers not working, all that. I think a good plan for Tom would be to wait for Matt to be out of town and then fix stuff, not saying a thing about it! How about that Tom, see any gas gauges in the MORR fleet you care to tackle when Matt's not looking!? ;)
