I’m surprised you aren’t making a recovery camper out of it, a support vehicle for the overnight recovery’s or long jobs. Hard to beat hot coffee and a warm bed on a long cold recovery job that’s a ways away from home. Also doubles as an unstoppable RV.
Hell yeah good idea, something warm that can actually be used for search and rescue/fire crews as a base and as acomm way out in the hills.
I feel this comment needs more likes
Dave..^^
I would like to add, I have no idea how this platform operates and I have no idea if this would be a good idea or even feasible but it sounded cool at the time.
SMA put together a cool sprinter van for the Pikes Peak electric unlimited superbike record attemp, 2013? three PV arrays the shape of the top of the van slide out to 3X the van square foot area. Something like that could be done with a recovery expedition truck with awnings and pop outs not hard to put more than a half acre under shade, inside a windproof air conditioned enclosure. had a job making inflateable buildings that pack down to 3' x 4'' x 5' times two containers, and inflate into an aircraft hangar with 80' clear span, built with two guys in about 4 hours. Hunter Defense. bought the company.
I love it when you’re left unsupervised
Goose would be proud
It’s not mature it’s like he’s a child lol
😂😂
@@Puillui weel its known that the only difference between small boys and big boys is the price of their toys😂😂
My whole life is unsupervised, every day is a crap shoot, lol.
As a driver of 18 years, I used to drive a mixer truck for about a year and a half. Heavy D, you literally just took my wildest fantasy about trucks right out of my head and you're bringing it to life and you have no idea! I can't tell you guys how amazing this is going to be! I will be following this one closer than any other story 🤣🤣☠️😎💯

@@1nvisible1 no need to cut a hole in the drum, they already have an access panel for that. Or you climb into the barrel w/ a jack hammer..

"I was left unsupervised and bought a cement mixer to go rock crawling in."
Truly a sentence that his never before been spoken.
Makes total sense 😅
$...Or to make a revolving hot tub...or a 40 hog rotisserie!!!"
FIFY Truly a sentence that his never before been spoken... in the last 5 minutes..
R/ brand new sentence
why? Never mind. Someting that I'd do for sure.
Hans’ reaction is the absolute best when Alan says he uses tide on his hair.
No unwanted chemicals gassing off, I wanna puke walking past all the detergents in the stores. Alan could give Sunlight a try. Sunlight bar soap gently cleanses without drying out your skin. Sunlight bar soap is made with 100% vegetable oils and natural fragrances that is gentle on your skin. It cleanses thoroughly, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth. Was introduced to this bar soap by a 6 foot 6 Polish miner back in 1970s when I worked as a miner in Wawa, Ontario, dam good soap, don't need no shampoo. Handwashed heavy socks to hang up to dry in the dry room with work clothes. Nice clean socks to start each shift!
He washes in Tide because it’s too cold outTide.
I love it when Hans spins up from hearing about Alan’s beauty technics. Alan has a way to launch Hans on demand. At first I thought Dave may push Hans out of the inner circle but I think he genuinely enjoys the comedy.
Gotta love you unsupervised with your love for heavy machinery, funds, and connections to make it happen and bring us along with it. And love the fact you have the crew with great personality to improv the whole time 😂 love these types of videos
"Remember kids, this is Hollywood. And respect is earned not given. Be a wolf among sheep."
I would love to see it show up at Matt's off Road Wrecker event, if for no other reason than to see the look on their eye's.
Dave should bring the Chinook to the event and start lifting all five of the Isuzus before anyone else can get to them.
Matt’s off road recovery climb would be legit amazing
Hey my name is Matt
@Team_ASV NOW THERE IS, WOULD BE NO FOOLING AROUND! Un grand spectacle! Mechanical, rigging, driving and critical thinking all rolled into a ball!
You need to turn the mixer drum (once you get the concrete out of it) into the capsule of a rocket. There is a former NASA Saturn 1B rocket on the Alabama-Tennesse state line they want to get rid of.
The salvage possibilities if you can reach orbit are literally out of this world.
Would make a great TV show.
Dave…we all love Dave because of exactly this. 😂
I love how the team just rolls with it at this point.
Yeah he's not a terrible person at all 😶
My hubby used to drive a mixer for a living. I remember him complaining how hard it was to get hard cement out of them. Good luck!! I can't wait to see what you do with this bad boy!! I would like to see you use it to help the Wizard on the compound and Brent at Cerro Gordo. I love it when you team up with them. It makes for exciting new content!
there’s another channel which shows they use small charges to break up the concrete without damaging the drum.
Mythbusters figured out how to do it back in 2005.
He needs to be left unsupervised more
Ya
Yes more unsupervised
Trueeeee
I remember so clearly when Matt said that he doesn't want a 5 tons truck for recoverys " because is as off road as a ciment truck"
And now Dave is taking a ciment truck to do rockcroling.
I'm laughing my soul out
Cement/Concrete trucks are amazing my dad drove one for a couple years 6 wheel drive when he was full it was 75,000 inside of the barrel and a 15k truck they’re monsters off-road when empty he use to have to off-road at job sites in the Florida rainy season and those things could be up to the frame and still make it through
Turn it into a safe. For keeping money and expensive stuff.!
@@tjboylan20 I just barely watched a Ron Pratt video where he had to help one get unstuck from a muddy job sight after he was empty.
Just out of curiosity: Why does no one hear busides me know how to spel?
@@wynottgivemore9274 it depends on the model of truck, the ones he drove were Macs with the L9 cummins in them they had 54” tires on them also
Everyone: Dave, why the hell did you buy a mixer!?
Dave: Tuesday
Everyone: Makes sense
This is a childhood dream come true for me. Honestly. I always loved the big beefy tires and wondered what they would be like offroad. I'm so happy about this
I can't wait to see you show up as a "late entry" at the MORR wrecker games 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That would be great!!
I thought the same
Dave, Dave, Dave..... I'm glad you have no self-control when it comes to buying cool shit. Thank you for the content.
That thing would be a beast in the snow, I could see it getting brought down to a long flat bed then basically enclose it and set it up for good camping. Or maybe have like a mini custom storage shed to carry tools or accessories on part of it and the rest open to store the utv or snow mobiles or whatever.
Those government auctions are a dangerous place!
Fr. How ?
@@carlosquintana3386 wallet
I wonder since it was bought from the government, if it's tax deductible.
Several years ago, I saw everything from cheap sparkly dresses to skids of unidentified metal parts. Brand new.
@@firesurfer they weren't from Sam the Nuclear waste guy were they?
You have got to be kidding me
BUT YES GO TO THE OLYMPICS SHOW THEM A REAL ROCK CRAWLING RECOVERY MACHINE 💪
I'm all in for the hog barbecue truck let's have a big party 5.00 admission
Oh boy!
To say, I am intrigued, is a bit of an understatement.
Please proceed with the unsupervised insanity!
NowaDays wrong is rite and insanity is sanity! LuvD
Wreckr challenge with Matt's recovery would be awesome
To me, these truck are quite unique on their own without altering their appearance. I've seen some in truck shows, but they're usually clean, restored, and look fresh from the factory. But turning one into a rock crawling rig? Now that would be very interesting to see.
It’s always awesome to see, bud on the channel as much as we like to all think we’re perfect we are not and to see him such a down-to-earth person, and a little bit of reality always goes a long way to relate to the people that watch
What are you talking about? Bud reminds you that we're not all perfect, what is that supposed to mean? What about bud is so "common wealth" that would make you say something like that. Bud makes more money than you, don't forget. He is perfect you, ya little sausage
What are you trying to say about bud
I bet Matt's Biggest Off Road Wrecker will be finished soon. He is looking forward to do some recovery. This will be amazing video! 😀
I kinda like the BBQ idea. Roll up to a location with the days' menu, kinda like a food truck but not.
The collection of Oshkosh vehicles is coming along nicely.
Thank you so much for taking this down to the olympics to show matt what the largest off road wrecker could really look like. If you do that it would be epic! Just think about all the subs you could gain from it.
I never did understand Matt calling his rig "the world's largest off road wrecker". It's not even close. I've seen wreckers in Australia that would pick it up and toss it like a toy. Not to mention every single army recovery truck.
@@dannyalvarez4259 He specified this in a video. Largest Off-Road Wrecker isnt quite the right term. He even had an example in the video of a bigger wrecker, but he defined his as the biggest functional tow truck (boom, winches, etc) that is a Rock Crawler/Buggy trail capable rig. Sure there are plenty of trucks that are way bigger, and can haul way more, but his will be able to get down those super technical rock trails where people with hardcore equipment go. As Ive said before, the problem with having a super capable rig, is when you get stuck, nobody can come get you. Thats essentially what he is building his wrecker for. He can go get the extreme rigs stuck and broken down difficult trails that nothing else can get through.
Essentially, the Largest Off-Road Wrecker isnt the right term, a more accurate way would be something like the "Worlds Most Extreme Off-Road Wrecker".
@@tennisontower8003 haters gonna hate. No point in trying to explain things to people.
It's simply a gimmick. Nothing more.
Heavy has the biggest wrecker
We converted a front discharge into a grain hauler for our farm. We took all the axles off since grain is so light. Its awesome when unloading.
By all means, just show up at Matt's Offroad Olympics. That would be hilarious to see their expressions!
Allan is a different kind of being. He's awesome hahaha.
So is Bud, even as awesome as the wizard!
I just started watching your videos a few weeks ago and I'm hooked. I love this video. I bet it's so much fun working with you guys!
-Tavish
So good to see Skeeter. I hope to see more screen time. But Hans will always be my favorite.
Skeeters trash
@@kevinschewa2927 sounds like a good buddy talking smack.
@@tinairvin260 that guy jumps from one job to another not loyal to anyone and what exactly is he good at?
@@kevinschewa2927 it sounds like you have personally met Skeeter to know the intimate reasons he has left previous jobs. I have never met him but I enjoy his personality. Until he does something to me, I have no reason to trash him. Everyone has their opinion. There is a fine line between an opinion and being a judgmental person.
There are books and career counselors that guide people to not stay in one job very long. Always two sides to the story. If Skeeter left Matt and Hunter in a bind, then you might be correct about the loyalty statement. Still, not something for me to judge. The world has enough judgmental people unfortunately. Hunter did a video about Dave Sparks giving him the chance he needed. He spoke highly of Dave Sparks. For all I know Hunter may have told Skeeter that it would be a great opportunity to work for Dave Sparks. Until I personally know Skeeter is trash, I will enjoy any screen time he gets and not judge.
I was surprised to see Skeeter in the video. Who’s Hunter?
Never know what another day is going to be at work for you guys. Great for us viewers/followers. Thanks
Nice.....!!!!
(Ever consider building up a couple off road service trucks to carry your recovery gear and parts....?)
You guys make work look fun, you all have such a good attitude and I swear there is nothing your team can't fix/work through. I love you guys!
Jesus loves you.

I hope you can make it into exactly what you want. You are so funny, and should not be left to check out auctions unsupervised. LOL. I will be excited to see what this becomes. Be safe one and all. God's blessings to you.
Restor/upgrade/customise it! Do a video of it being done and keep it! You'll have so many memories in this. The smile at 6.00 minute says it all!
Messed up situation with skeeter and hunter, hopefully y’all work it out well. Good luck brother
Yes go to Matt's Off Road Recovery event !!!!
Make it a Mud Buggy recovering, announcement stage platform. This would make it super easy for off Road events and would sale. 2nd option, off road RV home would sale great in tough areas like Alaska.
Honestly the tide laundry detergent is genius. No need for 5 different soaps and cleaners, just the one. True life hack 😂😂
I have been using dish soap for the last 50 some years for my all-purpose soap needs.
@@Icum4u Dawn is the best! 👍
Dawn does it all! Even cleans Ducks!!
I’ll go with Dawn, use if myself can even wash the car when I’m done.
You are definitely full of surprises. I must admit, I didn't see that one coming! 😎
Unbelievable some of the stuff they come up with
I drove a mixer for 10 years. They are a beast!! I always thought it would be the coolest off road camper.. you can take these things anywhere
You should try to build it as a transporter and help transport people for the wrecker Olympics! Would be awesome if you were in it but that would help out more than anything! Sell your own tickets for transport
Matts off road Adventure…..✌️😎👍
Heavy D, you are the craziest, coolest, most original youtuber ever.
That's why i got your shirt
I actually like the recovery aspect but the rock crawler would be cool as well. The idea that you had about the winches and boom would be a good thing for the off-road community
The equivalent to sending a kid alone into a toy store with their parents credit card 😂 I love it! Now let’s take it to Moab! 😂😂 Just when I thought things couldn’t get any wilder, this happens! This is truly what success and hard work looks like! 😂
No, this is truly called goofing off with more money than you know what to do with.
Super cool characters and great interactions! Loved it. I felt that they talked honestly and did not aimed their general energy to be liked; how cool is that?! Thanks for the great content; you deserve the ~2.8M
Keep trucking!
Haha love Alan. What a addition to the team he has been!
Showing up at the off-road wrecker Olympics unannounced would be fricking epic.
I worked for Oshkosh truck where this truck was made , back in 2006 Parson's ready mix flu in 75 drivers to drive 75 new mixer from Oshkosh WI back to Utah ! That was a parade !!
Dave you are funny guy. Thanks for knowing how to still have fun even when you have loads of $$$$
You always do a great job when left Alone. Looks like a great item to go crazy with. Can't wait to see what it gets turned into. Thanks for sharing this video. Looking forward to the next video.
Not what I was expecting at all, hope the next video is out soon!
You definitely should make it a rock crawler. The seats in the back would be great for people who want to try rock crawling but don't have the money to do so. You could also take people site seeing in it too. Lots of routes you take can take with that idea of a multiple seat rock crawler.
I would make it a crawler with some real big king coil shocks and some huge mickytompson tires with a LOT of weight reduction 🫣✋🤚
There's actually multiple companies in moab that offer that exactly but instead of cement mixers they use humvees with like 10 seats in them.
I love it when Alen said he uses ride to wash his hair and everything else and hans look was wild like wtf heck I use Gain
I LOVE his version say Good Morning Deal with it Mr I hide my feelings even though your happy.BEE HAPPY !!!!!!!
You could remove the drum and add seats as you mentioned and take it to the MORR Off-road Tow Truck games to use as a spectator shuttle.
That seems like the one trouble item of getting people around.
Really interested in the 40 hog hopper but seriously what’s going through Dave sparks mind right now… we’ll just have to wait and see.
standard ford ranger passanger floor: used oil pint and an empty pack of malboro reds
Love how Hans is the steady Ether Guy 🤙🏽
This is where Skeeter went! He disappeared from Matts Off Road
No, skeeter went to work for hunter, till dave went behind hunters back and hired him
@@thejoshdawnsubielife6053 Who is Hunter?
@@Iam1uglyguy the fella that has ginger hair that sunk the bus on the salt flats
@@thejoshdawnsubielife6053 Kinda assuming a bunch arent you? We dont know what happened or who did what. We dont know why Skeet even left MORR, did you say Hunter went behind Matts back and hired Skeeter from him? NO, because you dont know a single thing about what or why he left.
Michael don't assume what I didn't say. I marly said what hunter himself said.
It was great seeing Skeeter! Hope we see more of him with Dave and the team.
I thought thats who that was!!! Is this where he went after Matt's Offroad? Is he in other videos here?
@@CrAZymAn-Ehno he originally went to work for hunter on his channel he stayed there for about a month then Dave stole him under the promise of job security because at the time hunters channel wasn't doing so well
Being unsupervised is really cool when you let your creativity rule your wallet, that's an amazing piece of equipment. Rock on brother, this is going to be another great one. Loved the reaction of your crew when they went to get it :) :)
It also helps that 11 000 is not a lot of money to him.
THIS! Epic content with editing that was on point! Just the right amount of funny clips without being annoyingly repetitive and I had a huge grin on my face the whole episode seeing how much fun you guys had! 😁
I'd love to see this turned into a 20 seater rock crawler just so I can get a seat in its debut! 😂 👍
You guys look like a lot of fun! I can't wait to see how this project turns out!
Need to make a rotating cage with seats at the back. Rotating the people while rock climbing 😂😂
You had me at “Goverment Auction!”😊
Back in the 70's, there was a show about a junkyard owner who bought a cement truck. He used the tank as a space ship to go to the moon!! Good Luck! :)
@HeavyDSparks12 You're video reminded me of Salvage One, an Andy Griffith show about a junkyard owner.
I appreciate what what you're doing with rescue operations. I am retired but worked as an Aerospace engineer. It's neat seeing you being able to repurpose diverse equipment (concrete truck and Blackhawk) for rescue operations. Keep up the good work!
This would be a great viewing platform where y'all to go down and watch the off-road tow truck games with Matt's off-road recovery
Finally, a video that doesn't tell everyone what's about to happen in the title, thumbnail, or even the video, until it actually happens!
Love it that you met this legend Alan and he became your buddy
That would make a hell of an off road rollback. Might make up for having to push the firetruck around all the time.
There's an engine in the way.
One small problem
Hope to see you at Matt's off-road wrecker games with that hog.
Your cement mixers are super wacky looking compared to ours in the UK! Love it ❤
They switched to a front discharge option many years ago for 'safety' so the driver could see clearly.
Also depending on the weight restrictions some states have multiple axles
Most of ours don't look like that. That there is a front discharge, which are way more popular on the East Coast. Out in Cali, we use rear discharge. Those front discharge are nice because you can drive right up to the forms, no backing up. And the operator can stay in the cab.
Most the concrete trucks I've seen here are not this style. Supposedly these are better though, they sure are goofy 🤪.
@@Roger_Rabbit_Adventures thanks Roger, that makes sense now 👍🏼
@@gregwaters7830 interesting, thanks Greg 👍🏼
You need to keep Sparks away from the exhaust fumes of his truck LOL 😂

That bottle motor is going to make one hell of a recovery winch
What’s the starting torque on the motor 🤯
@@wintersun398 I think those bottles hold about 60,000 pounds and to mix the baffles have to be able to lift half that, so it’s got to be able to shift 30,000 pounds from cold

No he went to work for hunter .
@@nottoday7495 wait which one is hunter
@@tjm8994able Hunter , the red headed kid with the beard, he looks like Rudy, Matts son from MORR. Hunter quit Dave and started doing more on his own channel. Skeeter quit or was let go from Matts off road and went to work with Hunter for a short while. Now he seems to be working here with Dave. This is becoming the man version of "The days of our Lives" LOL
@@warrenmichael918 bahahha! Thanks for the info.
Good ol’ Hyrum, Utah! Lots of good finds and great people in Cache Valley
Dude if heavy really wants something he’ll get it. Hella good person. Makes me happy he got something fun.
Dave is the only person locally that could recover Matt’s wrecker if need be 🤷🏻♂️😂
Get a few buckets of the self expanding grout.
Drill about 15 holes with an SDS.
Take you about 20 minutes.
Insert grout into holes. Cover.
Next morning= profit.
I was wondering why I hadn't seen skeeter on matts channel in a while.
He has been on Hunters channel working, where he was working after leaving or being fired from Matts.
You MUST turn it into an off road wrecker, and call it the "Worlds Largest Off road Wrecker", just to one up Matt (sorry Matt).
You could use a "40 hog hopper" truck in Canada. To cook up their massive "super hogs", 600 lb feral hogs. To cook and dispose of lots of problematic feral hogs, and then donate the meat to the homeless in California etc.
Mad genius.
Youze guys are awesome!!
Yeah, this man should NEVER be left alone at an auction.
Dave knows exactly what he is doing, he probably got it dirt cheap, seeing how it has a full barrel for ballast. It's one hell of a job to jackhammer to clear out the concrete and horribly noisy, you need really good noise canceling headphones. Modify the barrel with steel liners inside to turn it into a mobile ball mill for gold recovery. The rest of the truck is a monster truck capable of many uses, would not be surprised if it has low mile/hours.
If this is a result of unsupervised Dave then I definitely need to see more unsupervised Dave 🍻
Agreed
I'm watching the episode with the Gama Goat, we in the UK can't have such cool vehicles, it is far too much fun than we could handle
Always good when Dave is left to his own machinations
😂 just waitin for Hans to vapor lock one on one of these videos💯
Or blow a rod out the side of the block and then have to explain why.
Haven't seen you for a while missed your truck mods shows glad you people moved on in a good way with the laughs😅included😅. From Melbourne AUSTRALIA 👍🤠
It's crazy how capable they are yet none of the cement companies are willing to take them anywhere that has even the slightest bit of a wet spot, I build houses for people off grid and it's always a nightmare trying to get cement on site it has to be a perfect day out.
Mostly because if they do get stuck its alot to pull them out and customers always say it ok and they dont mind the property damage then after they get shocked and angry with how big the ruts are.
They don't want them to get stuck or break. You only see these types of concrete trucks in areas that have hills and snow
Mixers and soft ground don't mix.
I like the ultimate recovery vehicle suggestion. Making it into an RV just might piss off some staffers in the long run. BUT you can make it into the ultimate recovery asset. Turn that mixer generator into a winch pull system. Have storage and additional assets all in one.
I also thought you bought a sandcrawler since you kept saying government and big and the thumbnail sure looks like it. Options: offer to buy the remaining 4 or 5 mixer trucks at 80% value (if 4, offer 33k etc) and make a few different things out of each one. A (Not-a-star-wars-sandcrawler) could easily sell for 50k, perhaps offer a few different types, as an off-road RV. Plus you can repurpose some metal from the mixer bowl. If Elon can market not-a-flame-thrower, aside from disney copyrights, you could sell these. I'd suggest you make your rock climber fun toy, use it, enjoy it, then later sell it. Make a recovery asset that's everything you wished you had. Not an engineer, but you guys may be able to do that ultimate winch system. Weld a tunnel over the winch or turn the generator around so that the winch is in the back. And those RV sandcrawlers you could make and sell.
I was wounded in the Vietnam War...After I got back from Vietnam in 1970, they re-trained me as a supply technician, which included "Property Books" (Inventory control) One of my jobs was to handle "Turn ins" of Army equipment to be sold at auction. ALL military vehicles have a record book of maintenance/service history. All you have to do is ask for a look at it when you go to auction... in 1975 I went to one such auction as the maintenance division was turning in their parts truck as it was pass it's age (use by date) . A 1968 Chevy "Side Step" pick up...3 on the column, six banger. It needed new wood for the box bottom (I bought a custom kit and a muffler). I read the millage book and since maintenance owned it ...the engine and body was flawless ... picked it up for $800. The only issue when buying is you need to inspect the item as maintenance workers may swap parts to fix another... such as a master cylinder ... be safe ... by the way Delta was there buying a Jet engine from a crashed aircraft ... I was told that wing's side wasn't damage???
3:46 - Omfg, it's SKEETER?! Where is Trevor?! I thought Matt buried these two in the desert.
That was interesting start to the video, leave people wondering what is up with the mystery purchase. A large truck like that would make a great recovery vehicle, especially if you can rock crawl with it. Looking forward to see what you do with it and what modification you will make for it.
