The comparisons to Matt's wrecker, which I love are like apples and oranges. They are both wreckers, and both will go off road, but of course this one will haul way more weight when finished, and Matt's will go way more places than this one ever will. Comparison is the thief of joy. Just enjoy them both for the awesomely fabricated vehicles they are.
From a functionality standpoint, Matt is miles ahead of this. Seems like a build to just say it’s the biggest and not actually have the same level on function
Of course it's a competition. I don't see any thing wrong with some healthy competition. The Hummer wrecker wont be rock crawling iSt George anytime soon tho. Seems to be way to big for that kind of rescue
@@Jamez3l well that’s just my point tho, it’s not a wrecker, it’s a crane more than anything. Matt’s has actual wrecker functionality and this is just a 20,000 boom crane that they’ll take down trails as a 6x6. It’s not apples to apples, Heavy D just giving it a Wrecker title to get engagement. It’s working, but still dumb imo.
Here’s my prediction 1; it will breakdown on first deployment.2; it will be too big and cumbersome for any MOAB trails. Rory Irish does more with Trailmater than any of these giant wreckers and he does it every day. I’m always interested in the builds but reality is they are more show than go. But as an aside his two main fabricators are amazing.
To be fair, other custom vehicles and custom modifications on stock vehicles usually have reliability issues when first used. I agree it will probably be too big for many trails and situations.
@@BlindmanValley yes I watch his channel, that kid has his head screwed on right, that thing is a beast, but tracks don’t work on rocks very well, but for sand, swamp and snow it’s hard to beat.
@@firstname5134 trailmater is a square body Chevy on leaf springs, wasn’t designed for sand. Matt’s is a total custom built frame up truck. If you’ll notice Matt, Paul and Robby are all influenced by Rory and his techniques. I enjoy all the channels but in my book Rory sets the standard for extreme off road recovery and I think Wyatt Hooper is the next generation to watch.
You forget to mention the absolutely not adapted axles / independent suspension... It's good to go on rough flat surfaces with small obstacles and wide enough roads. For the rest? Indeed, useless. The useless weight that is highly problematic for sand and even trails.
I see so many comparisons to Matts Off Road Recovery already but you guys are not taking into consideration that these trucks are built for completely different reasons. Matts is a purpose built working truck meant to rock crawl with a rzr in tow, this one is not
@@dhag72 I have no idea, I’m just saying that heavy D made the comparison himself. So it’s logical to compare it to Matt’s. Unlike what the original commenter said. Your guess is as good as mine.
I know Matt already made a big trail wreaker, but I've seen you go and help Matt in a moments notice. I don't think he would have any hard feelings. Keep up the great content ❤you guys.
Matt already talked about there being off-road wreckers at the wrecker games that were even bigger than his "the biggest off-road wrecker". He doesn't care, it's just a name, a running joke.
I agree, Matt is wise enough to know that what's important is that it's the best off road wrecker for him, not that it's the biggest or anything else about it other than it works for him and his company.
Diesel Dave I met you with my wife before we took a picture out of the shop I still have yet to meet Dave Sparks I sure wish I had the life any ability to do the things that you guys do all the time, I screwed my life up, and I wish you would have had the brains to do the things you guys have done I commend you guys you and cleetus McFarland have fun be happy and God bless!!!!😎🤠😎
You just have to love these guys has the way they go "Over the Top" on every one of the fantastic machines they build, find or are given, every show is a great show, UK fan.
No kidding, it pained me to see that old ass wall unit in the computer design room. With their money it's a no brainer to switch to split units. Far more efficient...
You can't really do that in a weld shop. Enough airflow to improve comfort on a hot day is also going to be enough airflow to blow the gas shield off of a weld
Matt’s sitting back with a hundredth of the budget saying this should be fun to watch and hold my beer (Matt probably doesn’t drink but you get the idea)
Please y'all don't leave any negative comments these guys have been truly nice enough to build this for me where I'm all crippled up.god bless them and thank you for making a crippled old man become a happy happy old man.
@@garthjensen245 Don't overlook the extra heavy frame they are starting with, square tube not just C channel like a semi-truck, extra heavy tires, and military grade suspension that weighs far more than on any semi-truck, then the rotator wrecker boom they plan to add, and that will require hydraulic out riggers, and hydraulics for the boom and tanks for hydraulic oil they will be adding more steel to the frame to support all this, and is there any military Armorer plate left on the Humvee body or has it been removed? it all adds up if you think about it, all I can say is wait and see when it's complete, I could be wrong, but you may find my estimate is very close. 🤔🤔
Those look like the axles Matt had in his yard that Tom bought and they didn't know what to do with because they were too large and heavy for anything they were planning on building. Good luck to these guys. I hope they can make them work for their project.
Sparks Motors, give Troy some love. Troy's off road recovery, He 100% knows about a military rotator as he served as a Marine in the Afghanistan war. You should see what he built as his beast of a wrecker. I do feel a little bit sorry for his 50% lung capacity but he is a super trooper. When he's able to post a video using his military skills in off road trucks, it is fun to watch. Casey LaDelle and Troy have done some amazing clean ups in the Forests of Oregon. Reach out to him and ask if he is interested in helping you.
The "Sparks Rotary Wrecker" is finally a reality!❤ The Hummer needs to sit lower in the frame of the 6x6... it doesn't look right. 🤔🧐🤷♂️ Hi 👋, Daves mom and dad! 😂❤
I think that the total we will be around 9700 lbs the world's off-road Wrecker. You guys are the best on help folks out . I be watching you guys for long time . I have stop by the shop before and help out the guy that built the Dissol motorcycle that you guys built. On the show when he broke down on hwy 89 and I 84. You guys are the best. I'm glad you are still around and my have something for you guys to do if you could do for me. Thanks
They should make it out of aluminium. More strength for less weight. Off road vehicles are better lighter so they don't sink. Use hydraulic blades instead of vehicle mass. And I guess 32000lbs
@@yzinger9878 per weight aluminium is approx 10 * stronger per weight. so if you have 100*200*5mm steel you can go 100*200*15. weigh less and much stronger. this is why most planes are aluminium. the confusion is usually people comparing 1mm of steel to 1mm aluminium. clearly the steel is stronger. but try comparing the thicker plate.
Could we see close-ups of the welds that stitch this monster together? The cross-bracing of the main beams and those that secure the axles to the beams. They look very well done. Will the Dura-Max be capable of hauling all the weight around with the projected installation of the rotator assembly with the lift arm? Maybe 30K? Seems like more power will be necessary. Just saying.....not a hater, love everything that comes out of Sparks Motors! Shout out to Dave's parents, congrats on your terrific family.
Actually now that I think about it, Matt is actually making a tilt bed wrecker for hauling side by sides exclusively so it's not really a tow truck but more of a haul truck
Hey, Heavy D.... I mentioned 20,000 pounds. Did I WIN a million dollars??? Ha, ha. You fellas are one of the few shows that I REALLY like to watch. When you go "out of your way" to help others, it is something that TOTALLY warms my heart.
I watched the video where Dave and his friend Matt's recovery idea surge, on the comfortably of my couch, my wife kicked me out of home, jun 24 I'm watching the wrecker build on my cellphone inside of my f150 home 😆
This thing is going to be AWESOME. But “trail” might not be the word for it. Then again i guess i am from really narrow mine trails in Colorado, utah is totally different.
Good respect D , we all know who claims the world's largest off road wrecker ! But that little ( Trail ) makes it a cool Tuber video ! The You Tube crowd is not about downing other channels ! It's working to better the whole Tube experience... It's a competition but a friendly one ! With no one treading on anyone else ! Thanks Diesel and Heavy for doing your part in making it a cool way to gain knowledge and be entertained at the same time !
No way this can "properly" rock crawl with that setup...zero articulation and crazy long wheel base. Also I can only imagine the width limitation...very edge case build but that being said freakin cool man...beast mode enabled.
@@SparksMotorsCo Yea I guess I was a little hyperbolic, seriously tho respect man. I guess I will have to see it, it may have the range for articulation but those springs are so heavy will they actually compress when needed? Rock machines are unforgiving with their requirements, always a trade off to be made. Seems heavy on the size (pun intended) to be effective for the 80 percentile type recovery but I get it, its just cool to build cool and nothing wrong with that.
@SparksMotorsCo is it gonna even have the duramax that was in the humvee? Not saying it isn't cool looking but it looks like the shit we as rednecks used to do like slapping a mustang body on a bronco II frame and mudding it... what about it will still be a humvee besides the body sitting on massive truck frame rails?
It will suck on trails and gonna be a slug with the weight and being diesel powered its literally a big truck shit gonna be usless on semi tight trails
Bro that will truly be a bad ass off road wrecker. And I can't thank you guys enough being all crippled up like I am thank you I will be able to hunting again love you guys.
@@sebastien2498yep, these sre the 3 tom tom didnt buy. Was hoping they would do this right and re-engineer the axles. This is basically a SEMA truck. Built to be cool, and capable enough to minimally functional
The huge difference between Matts off road recovery wrecker and every other "worlds largest off road wrecker" is Matt uses his daily in a real local business. Everyone else builds for youtube then tows once in a while.
I like your channel, but y'all will never be Matt's off-road. Y'all are Hollywood, have had cable tv shows. Matt comes from the bottom and you see that in their shows, which is why and I believe many others love their content!
I'm guessing the hummer all done will weigh about 48,600 lbs. I hope I'm pretty close but it'll be nice to know wen it's finished, great work guys, love your builds keep it up thanks from New Hampshire
Man!! Ya'lls video production is way better than NASA'S!!! And smarter - more robust men too!! I Figure that rig will be about 26,500 lbs when done! Good Job yall!
This would not stand a chance against the one the only M.O.R Wrecker feel a competition could be on the cards.Remember Matts got those huge axles that Tom Tom bought.
very curious what the use case will be. Obviously not small trails to get a side-by-side out of the mud or whatever. So, like... crashed planes? 18 wheelers that drove off a bridge? Those seem like a suuuuper niche markets.
When squaring something long use the 3 4 5 rule. If something is 3 foot long and 4 foot wide, measure from the 3' to the 4' it should be 5' it square. If you apply multiple of each leg it has to be applied to each. Like 15' 20' when square it will be 25' if square.
Seeing this video, gave me a great idea......... An 8x8 off-road platform rollback tow truck. I work for a tow service and it would probably work for off-road recovery.
you've always had one of one ideas. That boaterhome Is how you get back on track with all that. Take the shell and the platform and make it above and beyond overkill amazing like you always do with everything
Not sure if it was already weighed! Seems like most people in the comments are too worried about comparisons…my guess for final weight will be approximately 13,230lbs
Looks like it 3.5 to 4 tons either way hows it going to do in tight spots. Also was wondering are yall going to supercharge it or go with a triple turbo setup to move it lol. Can't lie with a twin turbo supercharged bulletproof duramax with a Allison transmission would be a pretty wild ride.
I went to the motor pool one day. We were going out in the back 40 for exercise. I asked the guy if he was sure it would go back there. He said you can't get a Hummer stuck. He said it was unstoppable.. 5 minutes later I was walking cuz the Homer was stuck as hell... You couldn't pay me good money for one. I think they suck. Atrociously slow. 💥 But what you guys are building now we're talking unstoppable, unstickable. And wicked ! I expect nothing less then a bad mama jama. Put the Sparks to it.
I am so late to this but I've been waiting for so long for this to get done. But after I watch this ima see if there's another video for this that's newer.
The comparisons to Matt's wrecker, which I love are like apples and oranges. They are both wreckers, and both will go off road, but of course this one will haul way more weight when finished, and Matt's will go way more places than this one ever will.

Nailed it.
How can any gear head throw shade on anyone that's building a badass vehicle I totally agree just grab a cold beverage and enjoy the show
Very well said
the best thing would be to stop calling it the largest whatever and comparing dicks. just build your stuff and go on imo.
Truck looks awesome! Can't wait to see it in action!

Hi my name is John 30,000 lb
22,236 lbs gross
Right, proof's in the puddin'!
Thinking of converting a 75 rotator for off road, then I can call it the world's biggest off road wrecker. Beat that Mr D.🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂👍
Plus the skill to actually build it himself, with some help, rather than having other employees build it for you and never touch it.
The fabricators, welders, precision metal workers are top tier craftsman. Much respect to those guys.
27,650 lbs

It will suck on trails and gonna be a slug with the weight and being diesel powered its literally a big truck shit gonna be usless on semi tight trails
WAHOOO !! At last the Hummersaurus wrecks is ALIVE !!!
What a name
I actually really like that name 😂
Bro that will truly be a bad ass off road wrecker. And I can't thank you guys enough being all crippled up like I am thank you I will be able to hunting again love you guys.
Those look like the axles TomTom bought when Matt was out of town.
Good eye, I was thinking the same. They were far too exteme for any of Matt's builds.
Or were they...?
If i remember correctly, that same guy that sold Matt/TomTom the axles also sold these to HeavyD. He was trying to get rid of them loll
@@disgruntledegghead6923 Matt also got the same axles and he said that he got plans for them. So be on the lookout
@@sebastien2498yep, these sre the 3 tom tom didnt buy.
Was hoping they would do this right and re-engineer the axles. This is basically a SEMA truck. Built to be cool, and capable enough to minimally functional
first off this thing is way to heavy Matt's will go way more places than this one ever will.
There is no way that ridiculously big thing will be able to take on the trails in the Moab area. Its simply too big and heavy.
Go big or go home i guess….😂😂

Just an old Hummer literally placed on top of some steel beams. Wow... Genius.
Idiot, I’m guessing you havnt seen any of their other builds ?
Thanks for introducing your folks Dave
The huge difference between Matts off road recovery wrecker and every other "worlds largest off road wrecker" is Matt uses his daily in a real local business. Everyone else builds for youtube then tows once in a while.
first off this thing is way to heavy Matt's will go way more places than this one ever will.
Looking forward to seeing the recoveries, also I'm guessing around 25 thousand pounds
I like your channel, but y'all will never be Matt's off-road. Y'all are Hollywood, have had cable tv shows. Matt comes from the bottom and you see that in their shows, which is why and I believe many others love their content!
19,250lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good build so far!
Hi Mom and Dad 👋😃
38,652 lbs... I'm calling it now, Its gonna be a beefy boy.
30,000 pounds
Matts was built for the wierdly placed new jeeps that were not set up lol
Wow 😲 that’s crazy! Sparks did it again!
No way this thing will be able to hang with Trail Mater in MOAB
Best part was meeting the parents and the excitement to see them. Awesome!!
I'm guessing the hummer all done will weigh about 48,600 lbs. I hope I'm pretty close but it'll be nice to know wen it's finished, great work guys, love your builds keep it up thanks from New Hampshire
Bro, I relate to those "quick" no-look welds. Totally going to have skin cancer later in life thanks to those!
29767 lbs - looking forward to see more progress on this build!
Man!! Ya'lls video production is way better than NASA'S!!! And smarter - more robust men too!! I Figure that rig will be about 26,500 lbs when done! Good Job yall!
This would not stand a chance against the one the only M.O.R Wrecker feel a competition could be on the cards.Remember Matts got those huge axles that Tom Tom bought.
I’ve been watching a lot of they UA-cam videos one question do you still have the muscle working for you
Will it have hydraulic legs that come down to support the wait when lifting and staberlise the weight
very curious what the use case will be. Obviously not small trails to get a side-by-side out of the mud or whatever. So, like... crashed planes? 18 wheelers that drove off a bridge? Those seem like a suuuuper niche markets.
I think their idea's are cool it's awesome to see what these guys come with no matter who builds it..
When squaring something long use the 3 4 5 rule. If something is 3 foot long and 4 foot wide, measure from the 3' to the 4' it should be 5' it square. If you apply multiple of each leg it has to be applied to each. Like 15' 20' when square it will be 25' if square.
Ustedes son la definición de literal de 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Gigante , Monstruoso, Poderoso
Seeing this video, gave me a great idea......... An 8x8 off-road platform rollback tow truck. I work for a tow service and it would probably work for off-road recovery.
oh wow, maybe it could even start as a spud truck!
Looking forward to additional progress on the huge off road wrecker
31,750 lbs. Gonna be the Monster of all wreckers.
i miss u building stuff.. need more like this..
For the spare space on the back you should build a little chill room or a sleeping area or something
Awesome Wrecker. Good meeting your parents. Good video 👍🇺🇸
Bans is the MAN!! I actually hurt my ribs laughing! Bless you wonderful bu h of muppetts 😅
I just want to say that you guys are truly blessed and very inspiring to me 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
you've always had one of one ideas. That boaterhome Is how you get back on track with all that. Take the shell and the platform and make it above and beyond overkill amazing like you always do with everything
That’s is amazing can’t wait to see it on a rescue
Nice caveat to Matt’s Off Road Recovery!!
It has been three months, Any update about this wrecker?
I’m really excited about this.
Can’t wait to see this finished.
You guys are killing it
Love it! Where are the next build videos.
I'm going to guess the weight at 37,373 lbs. Long time viewer, love the purity, progression and variety of your content guys keep it up!
Not sure if it was already weighed! Seems like most people in the comments are too worried about comparisons…my guess for final weight will be approximately 13,230lbs
Looks like it 3.5 to 4 tons either way hows it going to do in tight spots. Also was wondering are yall going to supercharge it or go with a triple turbo setup to move it lol. Can't lie with a twin turbo supercharged bulletproof duramax with a Allison transmission would be a pretty wild ride.
I went to the motor pool one day. We were going out in the back 40 for exercise. I asked the guy if he was sure it would go back there. He said you can't get a Hummer stuck. He said it was unstoppable.. 5 minutes later I was walking cuz the Homer was stuck as hell... You couldn't pay me good money for one. I think they suck. Atrociously slow. 💥 But what you guys are building now we're talking unstoppable, unstickable. And wicked ! I expect nothing less then a bad mama jama. Put the Sparks to it.
I am so late to this but I've been waiting for so long for this to get done. But after I watch this ima see if there's another video for this that's newer.
