Matt's Off Road Recovery.

No chance this company offered them a free drill press, and they made a story line to be excited about it. Nope, no chance.

what difference does that make? if you don't 'get' the show and are the types who always point out the technical flaws in Gilligan's Island, hint: you aren't the one's 'on top of things'

jesus, you are kidding, right?

Dude's running what's basically a low buck reality TV show. Dramatizing shit because you can or because of some mistaken belief that's what people want comes with the territory.

first time I thought your irate name made sense. you have not watched the show at all. it is like you are watching andy griffith show and critiquing the way Barney has a single bullet in his pocket or how letting otis stay at the jail in enabling... what is wrong with you?

I like watching Chad explain wiring, face it neither Matt or Fab Rats would have been there if he and his crew hadn't spent days running miles of wire, and airlines, because neither of them are smart enough to do the job

i started watching Chad's channel and he said he'd only actually wired a few vehicles before and that 'mistakes were made' on the jobs for the wrecker games, but that he'd fix them.'

He would be a great guy to work with if you wanted help on a build. Calm and exacting with a sense of humor and tremendous knowledge and skill.

I saw one of his vids where his son was attaching a rock light to the tube frame of a SxS.

Most hack shops would Right Stuff it on, tie wrap it on, or, at most, maybe run a self-tapper (in which case the light would be crooked).

This kid drilled and tapped and used a SS machine screw with anti-seize. These dudes seriously do good work.

No more Lizzy. She has moved on.

She seems like a great kid. I will miss her positivity and happy spirit! That was nice of them to buy her a truck and I dig that it wasn't brand new and it was just an F150 and they tossed some sponsored tires (and did the ad for it) so, win, win.

People talk shit about Matt etc, but I sure like his kids (Rudy and the younger boys) and his wife is a gamer (doesn't whine and doesn't take shit in a pleasant way) so, he must be doing something right.

The only constant in life is change... people come and go at my work, they retire or move on and they are missed but someone new comes along and they take up that space just fine.

She's a trooper. Not many people would climb into a vehicle that is precariously hanging from a cliff. I know I wouldn't :laughing:

Not sure what exactly happened with Trevor, but I suspect it was a mismatch of temperments. the advent of Tom Tom and the very recent use of Jamie, and the younger boys makes the show better. The conversations between Tom and Matt are thoughtful and humorous, I think the show is getting better. Ed is aging and just not available. the other new cameraman and the other guy that is both cameras and working (like Trevor) is going to be great.

I think that most folks move on to something better for them.

on Rory's channel, I think those three are happy and at an age where they are content with their setup even though, they are moving shops etc.

I will admit, I can’t stand listening to Jefe. Poor dude has serious mouth issues he’s correcting with braces. I wish there was a way to correct what comes out.

truth. I think if there is a dick to deal with in that crew, it is jefe.

It is funny, if I were going to have any of the different channel people work on something, it would be chad. He seems to be super grounded and a good mechanic. He is less off road guy though.
 
Skeeter is working for Sparks and is on some of his videos.

Trevor came up in my feed the other day, says he will be making more videos soon.
 
Holy O fuck that sloth Tom Tom is Delta pilot! :eek:

At any rate I are surprised...

I think Tom is a former research engineer. He is not a dope. I kind of think he was burned out in his old gig and this came up..... here was the crazy connection I made today about shows...

The Fab Rats are related to Anchor Ranch or whatever.. I had no clue... and the Fab Rats brother, Ben, has started a channel.

it must be like printing money.
