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.

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.

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.

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.

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 KZreadr 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 😉

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.

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.

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