This will be fun. Hire Katlin! A consideration. I spent 31 years in big wreckers. I've had Samurai's & a Vitara. Great offroading because they're short. Your issue will be wheel base vs front end weight. Wreckers hang most everything off the back. So remember this formula. Empty Front Axle Weight (A) Diveded by 2 Times the Wheel Base in inches (B) divided by the overhang (C) Equals the maxium save weight you can tow & maintain steering. (X) (A÷2) X B ÷ C = X. I know.... it's algebra. But the math doesn't lie. Overhang is the distance from the end of the boom to the rear axle. 1500 faw /2= 750 750 X 80" wb = 60,000/ 60" overhang = 1,000 lbs save lifting weight to tow. This is if your front axle weight is 1,500 lbs. Hopefully you can get there by adding a winch. Since the Samurai's weigh 2,000 lbs. If you 4 link it & stretch whe WB by a few inches? It might help! Have fun. Make It Katlin's project & ride! This will be great to watch. Thanks

Hey Matt, if you're looking for a mini wrecker look for one of those bongo trucks or mini truck. It already has a 8ft bed on it. It might help you save some time in modifying that Suzuki. Then you can turn the Suzuki into a mini banana so you have a support vehicle for the tiny trails. Just my suggestion, really enjoying the videos. Take care.

Miss Lizzie and Miss Caitlin are like blood sisters. I remember the joy Lizzie got being dragged at speed out of the desert in that derelict car, no wheels, no door locks, and more. I reckon Caitlin would be enjoying it just the same. She would make a great follow on.

The samurai is a great idea! Take a look at some of the old Willys rigs with booms, like Moe the Toe a ‘46 CJ-2A. Keep it compact, full of torque and low low gears. Make it so you can cary a small rig out when they pancake all 4 wheels, no trailer, no dragging but pull it up and carry it.

You should do DigDug in the classic brown/cream panel finish, with a chrome pinstripe around the two tone. Classic and elegant. 😊

Kaitlin would be an awesome addition to Matt’s Off Road Recovery!!!! Anyone that can scare Matt is awesome in so many ways! I bet she could scare Paul in a demolition derby.

Kaitlin's fearless, smart and has the right sense of humor for these jokers.

I like the idea, but clearly that thing will need A LOT of work. You're going to need practically a whole new engine to avoid stalls and give enough weight to actually cling-and-climb. Lower gears, and some pretty serious counter-weights not unlike how the Mega-Wrecker is occasionally braced. This is going to be a very interesting build!

Ok, this has to happen. For those of you who may not know, the Double Sammy trail at Sand Hollow, apparently got its name when 2 Suzuki Samurais rolled over there. So, i think the ultimate test for the future "Worlds smallest offroad wrecker", should be the conquering of Double Sammy. What do you say?

What engine are your going out in for more power

You would probably be better off using a Long wheel base Samurai, as a base for your recovery vehicle. More stable, better ride and more room for power/transmission upgrades.

Yes, hire that young lady, with her off-road experience that's a plus!

Caitlin isn't afraid to give it the beans. I knew this was a testing period for Caitlin. Bring her on. It was great seeing Lizzie grow into the position. Pass the torch.

Kaitlin would be perfect. She’s an accomplished rock crawler, fearless, has a desire to learn welding, and above all else has an infectious laugh and smile. I think she’s a perfect fit for the MORR Team.

Matt always bring out the best in his crew in the nicest way. It's so great to see.

Yes Matt, Tom and the MORR Crew...definitely hire Caitlyn as part of the crew...she has a great personality, she's smart, adventurous, fearless and fun (remind you of anyone)?! She will kill it as part of the channel!

Add another YES vote for hiring Kaitlin! She has skills, personality, perseverance, and a great sense of humor.

Hire her! She has a great foundation with off-roading to build from. I'm looking forward to seeing her learn and develop new skills.

Tom go with the two tone paint job, retro the heck out of that retro wonderful truck. and of course Caitlin is a must hire, she has the confidence on the pedal and seems to be a natural in front of the camera, win win for you all

I think dig dug would look great in a gray kind of like the shirt you wearing, similar to what the bed color already is. It sets it up on the MORR color scheme but still sets it apart. And absolutely bring Katelyn on. It's good to show girls that they can be ANYTHING they want to be.

Heck ya Katlin is a definite YES

Kaitlin needs to be part of the crew! It looks like she fits in well with everyone and is willing to learn the ropes. She will make a great addition the crew.

I love the concept of a micro wrecker and like another viewer wrote, it's going to need a lot in the way of power and suspension. What intrigues me the most is how you can keep it anchored. The point of a boom on a small vehicle like that is for lifting while on very narrow roads. In the case of a shelf road you'll want that boom for lifting small vehicles that have gone over the side. For that to keep such a light wrecker on the road, you might think about either more winches, one on each side, or adding telescoping or folding out riggers that can widen the foot print when lifting. Loving the Channel, Keep up the great work!

Tom Tom! Paint it in the two tone scheme like they came from Chevy...brown over tan! As for the mini wrecker? Awesome! Based on how much weight you need to lift could one build a telescopic boom to reduce to length of the boom when traveling to a recovery site? Just a thought and heck yeah! Hire her 'cause her experience with wheeling will be an asset for sure! Thanks for the vid and peace out!

Definite +1 for Caitlin. She's got skills.

Definitely hire Kaitlin! Her never ending smile and enthusiasm will light up any situation Matt gets her into! She nailed welding on her first try!

I believe she’ll fit right in with your crazy crew. I love watching this channel. Can’t wait to see the Samorri finished and see if it’s actually useful.

Friend of ours got his F250 sunk in the mud out in the woods, like Blue Steel. It was sunk to the axels. Called several wrecker service and no one wanted to come out. Until refered to a guy who specialized in this type of situation. Guy shows up in a Isuzu pickup on what looked like a 6" lift and mud tires. It was just the frame, motor, and the shell of the cab with a roll cage built around the cab. Huge winch mounted on top of the cab. Made sense, we all doubted but he pulled it out no problem. Smart actually and coolest thing I've seen.

I love the genuine fearlessness Kaitlin shows behind the wheel. Rhett’s the same other people try to nurse the vehicle up things the kids just step on the gas at.

When they first arrived in N. America I had a contract to supply carpet set and rear seat as a dealer option.

The Sam was light, so it did not sink in, so could get close enough to winch out the Chev Ford, Jeep etc. Beat your idea by a few decades. :)

Two-tone white! Paper white all over, egg shell or light warm grey. Drove a Samurai a couple summers. Manual steering, a few inches of lift, 30 inch balloon tires, tiny engine. Good times.

Yup she's a keeper for sure Matt. Willing to help and willing to learn. A hard thing to find now a day.

Katelynn: You can't expect me not to drive it like I stole it, when I have to hotwire it every time I start it Yep, she definitely fits right in with this crew and is not afraid to just send it. She's a keeper for the team

As a 4Runner nut I'm exited to see those 4Runner ORP wheels on the BigDog. Love its lower offset +15 and perfect width for bigger tires with width upto 285mm compared to TRD Pro wheels.

Been watching your videos for a few days now. I finally got to this one, I was kind of saving it because I have a Samurai as well, recently acquired. Used to use them to read meters all over Arizona. These things are indestructible! I found you by watching Myron from Zuk's Off Road, as he had called you out in a video! Hope you called him, good stuff there for sure!!

Yes Matt. She passes the Test! You should pay her for this. 😊 love her sense of humor. And the full send on the hill too.

Love Katelynn's attitude. I think she brings a lot of great energy and knowledge to the team! edit: Corrected Katelynn's name spelling

Tom: If you want to go with the shop colors for the paint, but a bit different too; how about the highlight grey that's around the MORR logo (or the grey on the Morrvair) for the brown of the two tone. And the Banana yellow, for where the beige middle stripe is? Maybe just slim down the width of the yellow stripe.

I think dig dug would look good with the cream in a stripe across the middle, brown on top and below, and white on top and below the brown. Like a 5 layer cake

Hire Kaitlyn, she’ll fit perfect in your mold. Lizzy came along ways with MORR. I can only imagine where Kaitlyn will go.

Yes higher Kaitlin. Watching a young and enthusiastic employee learn the trade and grow as a person is awesome. Especially one that has a good attitude and likes to giggle. Not sure why this works for your channel, but it does. Again, yes.

Stick a all aluminum LS V8 (5.3 LC9) and a manual transmission with an Atlas transfer case in that Sammy, stretch it if you have to. ❤

Yes to Kaitlyn 👍! With a mild makeover. Lumbejack boots, pants are good, MOOR tshirt with sleeves cut off, MOOR hat worn backwards, double braids and a bandana somewhere. Why are there no bananabandanas? Samoori needs about a 3 foot stretch, 37 minimums with total suspension overhaul, and a twin turbo inline 4 gas or diesel.

Caitlin is a KEEPER!!! Her willingness and confidence is amazing!

Hire Caitlin? Absolutely, she is fun, fearless and safety conscoius - even wears a seatbelt!

Tom, the best paint choice for old squarebody General pickups is always going to be The Fall Guy Brown/Champagne and eagle hood! 🙌

One of my favorite upgrades I did to my old samurai beside the 6.5:1 gears In The transfer case, was a bicycle gear shifter mounted to the gear shift that ran to my throttle. So I could run my throttle with my hand while crawling. Slowing me to use fineness the break and clutch with my feet.

katelyn is doing such a great job! already has experience in crawling and has the drive to learn and expand more on her offroad knowledge! i see too many people mentioning her as a “replacement” to lizzy, but let’s not see it that way, and more so as Katelyn being an “addition” to the ever evolving MORR family!

One vote for Kaitlin! Her smiles are priceless...

I owned an 88 Samurai and loved it, it pretty much went anywhere I wanted it to go and it was stock. I actually miss it at times I got it when I was in the Air Force
