I’m a new subscriber. Found you by way of the wrecker games. I’m from the U.P. of Mich but spent 3 winters ‘10-11, 11-12 and 12-13 in Havasu. I met more authentic motor heads there than all my life previous. Guys who built what they drove, not bought it at Barrett Jackson. I’m not surprised you are from there. I’m hoping to get back there next winter. I’ll look you up. 👍
I watched a couple of your videos previously but subscribed after you helped with the Yellow Submarine. THIS one showed Mater and I LOVE it. Not only the body style but the well earned patina. Nice , very capable build. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks
Merlin, I saw in another video that you grew up in Orderville. My gggrandfather was Isreal Hoyt who was one of the founders. My ggrandfather, grandfather, and father were all born and raised in Orderville. We are probably cousins!! Love your work!
I saw video of the jet boat earlier. If I didn't live so far from lake Powell I thought about going to get it myself. A few years ago I got a boat from lake Somerville in Texas when water was low. The original owners sighed the title over to me. It was in sunk 5 years before I found it. I still have it.
MAN!!!, The common sense you show is inspiring. It's 7:30p & I'm going in my shop to do something - I think build that alternator for welding you did. Cool stuff!!!
Hot dang! They better let you in the tow truck Olympics, that's one sweet rig. They teased us with the yellow submarine for so long and then only gave us a short video! It was cool to see you're involved! Now convince Paul he needs to step into the diesel world with his boat!
I'm kind of slow but I'm starting to figure out why you are all so successful (you, Matt, Paul), you are rescuing vehicles that you've also built yourself, or worked on, you've had every part of these vehicles apart on your bench, so you understand even more than regular recovery guys exactly what's going on, where the stress points and week parts might be. It's almost an unfair advantage :) Fun to watch as always ...
Man I love your rig I wish you had someone film you more often so we could really see what that suspension can do in that terrain, thanks to you for making my sundays more enjoyable
you might have me by a few years I was 6 years old back in that date .. Great Video ..when I have done chain work towing or hauling I use some elec tape on the hooks so they can't come unhooked .. I moved out of the village into the township where I am at next neighbor is 1/4 too a 1/2 mile away ..when I was in the village and had a grinder out at 8 pm the neighbor was calling the police .. now I can do work at 3am if I want too .. time for a welder in the wrecker .
Bringing back to life an old piece of vehicle memory, that will be profoundly interesting as you put the engine in & work on the body. The recovery of the "recovery guys vehicle" was pretty intense, as it was squeezed in & stuck; & then a two point pull released it and you got it "home". Your unique recovery vehicle is one of kind (it appears) & was more than up to task in doing the job; & you have the talent, art and skill to know what to do. Your friend & the others are lucky you were around to aid & assist. And it's nice helping friends, that would likely aid you, if you were in need or "distress".
Merlin we are definitely looking foward to the Oldsmobile build. Tow Mater did a terrific job on that rescue for sure, thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍.
You made that look easy Helping a friend with a good recovery Have a Great Day 👍 God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 The Olds is going to be a Great experience, thanks for your time and Videos
I'm excited to see more of the old Olds. That sounds like it's going to be a fun project. Has the roof on it been chopped? It looks a little low. I like the recovery videos a lot, and hopefully, the recovery of the yellow submarine gets covered, not just the rebuild. I know it's been in the works in secret for a while. Now that it's been revealed, i know it's gonna be interesting, to say the least.
Always waiting for Merlon’s next video. Thanks for sharing. My neighbors turned me into the city, twice. Luckily the code enforcement officer likes me.
Love your work and your channel, but I wish the cab of your truck was a bit quieter so I didn't have to struggle listening and replay portions just to try and figure out what you say. You seem to put in text for most of it, but if I look away I have to replay. Anyway, still love your channel lol
Shhhhhh ! Yellow sunkn boat . Lol I love guys like you that have been there , dun that & just smart . I’m not far behind at 52 yrs young & somehow still alive & building cool stuff . Your knowledge is just unreal . Thanks to that Utah rat guy helped me find yo channel. It’s a small world!!!
Great stuff Merlin!! Jason was in a bit of a pickle all right!! Even if he hadn't busted his Jeep I'm thinking he may not have made it through there. ?? You did a find job getting him out!! I keep hearing about this "yellow submarine" project. I'm getting pretty darn curious!! 😁 Oh yeah... in 1976 I was 26 and had my second child!! LOL!!

Are the car shows still at the Weinersnitzel on Sat morning and Thursday night on Mcculloch?
Love the flag. A true southerner.

Definitely one of the best looking tow rigs on UA-cam!
Thanks for showing your day to dayadventures
Amen Brother 🙏 ❤️
"Nothing Better than your little white dog coming to give ya kisses to say welcome home" 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

That old wrecker does a Good job. And Cant wait to see Operation Yellow Submarine..With You and Cousin Paul. Fabrats..Great Video...
I love that ole tow truck 👍👍👍 Its a veteran all right.
I saw video of the jet boat earlier. If I didn't live so far from lake Powell I thought about going to get it myself. A few years ago I got a boat from lake Somerville in Texas when water was low.

That's awesome, man.
Always top notch work! The old girl sounds good!
Your calming voice makes everything works
Merlin's Mater is definitely the coolest looking tow truck....!
Always something a little different. The Olds project sounds like a challenge. Thanks for sharing.
MAN!!!, The common sense you show is inspiring. It's 7:30p & I'm going in my shop to do something - I think build that alternator for welding you did. Cool stuff!!!
Nice to have a tow buddy... I did that once. We made an x with some ratchet straps and drove it out.
Camel Tow he says with a straight face. I’m dying. Regardless, great recovery.
Excellent video, thanks Merlin.
Yeah buddy. Cummins forever 💪🏻💪🏻👍👍
Just watched Paul’s video on the calab can’t wait to see you and his brains work this old cool boat into into awesome treasures
Love it Merlin! This whole video was bonus footage!!!
Tow Mater kicks ass.
Lovin that wrecker Mr. Merlin ....... yellow submarine eh? :-----------)
Thanks again for the recovery help. Such a cool video. Can’t wait to see what you do with that rx7
Tow truck Olympics. Merlin and Matt, is a toss up on cool factor. I love those old cabs.
I really enjoy The channel it’s always a great time watching . Glad I found your channel.

Hot dang! They better let you in the tow truck Olympics, that's one sweet rig. They teased us with the yellow submarine for so long and then only gave us a short video! It was cool to see you're involved! Now convince Paul he needs to step into the diesel world with his boat!

Awesome find excellent cars and your tow rigs are wicked so cool
Thanks for sharing the off road recovery!!!
Job well done 👍.
love the tow truck. Old trucks have style unlike new ones that look like a slab
Looking forward to the Olds. That should be a fun ride.
Surprised you didn't whip out the onboard welder. Time to get one installed on the wrecker.
That is a very cool truck!
Hell Yeah Merlin your so cool I can't wait for this build.
@Merlinsoldschool sorry my friend I don't use telegram so you can give the prize to someone who does use telegram.

Yep Merlin, that non-judgmental, Welcome Home every time you come home from your pooch always makes the end of your journey that much Sweeter!!!
The man with the plan great video old school
You and Paul should take a trip up to Michigan for the dream cruise with some of y’all toys
Oh that’s definitely on the bucket list for sure
I love the old wrecker, bad ass.
Love the rx7 rotary motors are awesome 👌

Worked like a charm Merlon. Well done.

If there's a category for best looking at the Tow Truck Olympics, I think we've got a winner👍
Yeah that is a good looking truck for sure
I bet your neighbors just love you!
Luv that tow truck. So cool!
Brilliant recovery, love,this channel.
That’s awesome!! ❤❤❤
I think that sedan would look sweet as a 3/4 ton 4x4 SUV with your Cummins love your
videos!
Merlin we are definitely looking foward to the Oldsmobile build. Tow Mater did a terrific job on that rescue for sure, thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍.
That was a tight spot to break down ! Thanks for sharing ! Yellow Submarine will also be interesting !
Nice old tow truck. Looks like it does pretty good in them bad spots. Nice video

Yellow submarine looks interesting!!!

God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
The Olds is going to be a Great experience, thanks for your time and Videos
Lloyd is awesome!
That’s a good looking wrecker
Great video. Can't wait to see more on the yellow submarine recovery...
Dang.. Finally I see someone who has a real engine in the wrecker.. AND they have an Rx7!
I'm excited to see more of the old Olds. That sounds like it's going to be a fun project. Has the roof on it been chopped? It looks a little low.

Love your channel , gretings from Tijuana Mexico , keep up the excelent work
hello thanks for watching 🇲🇽🏁
Can't wait to see the build should be awesome
I felt that first drop with the Tow Mater.
Love it. We actually get to the pissed off the neighbors And then we do more.
To me all the older stuff just cool and I love using older things
thanksv for the great content
Love your work and your channel, but I wish the cab of your truck was a bit quieter so I didn't have to struggle listening and replay portions just to try and figure out what you say. You seem to put in text for most of it, but if I look away I have to replay. Anyway, still love your channel lol
I had a brand new RX3 Brand new off the sales lot 23 miles on it! .... small car but go like a bat out of hell!
Can't wait to see what you do with the 32 Olds gonna be nice
There’s a reason there’re other folks building off-road wreckers outta old trucks … there just cool as hell 👍🏻👍🏻
Shhhhhh ! Yellow sunkn boat . Lol I love guys like you that have been there , dun that & just smart . I’m not far behind at 52 yrs young & somehow still alive & building cool stuff . Your knowledge is just unreal . Thanks to that Utah rat guy helped me find yo channel. It’s a small world!!!
Upsetting Neighbors 😂😂😂😂😂 sounds like some noises… not a artillery fire 😂😂😂😂😂
It always seems like I learned something new in your videos Merlin
Great stuff Merlin!! Jason was in a bit of a pickle all right!! Even if he hadn't busted his Jeep I'm thinking he may not have made it through there. ?? You did a find job getting him out!! I keep hearing about this "yellow submarine" project. I'm getting pretty darn curious!! 😁 Oh yeah... in 1976 I was 26 and had my second child!! LOL!!
Rotary’s are what they are. Good or bad.
But the snowmobile sound they make is kinda hard to wrap my ears around!
Still like your truck the best. It looks great instead of a hobbled together hunk of junk.
A desert towing company named Camel Tow is not lost on the less than mature of us in your audience. 🤣
you should hear some of the comments from the customers I would pick up, and not one is family friendly to say on here 😂
Great sounding old truck.
It’s the Anthill Mob!
Who is going to show Yellow Sub first ,you or Paul ,may need two screens and watch simultaneously 😆
We are working together on it I have four episodes and he has three or four but we will let you all know when we bounce back-and-forth
Wow you need a steady camera I’m getting motion sick
I hope your neighbors are friendly, very old and hard of hearing, and out of town!!!
