For anyone wondering, i Saw the Video on the BroncBuster channel, It was the wiring harness in the wheel well that was cut apparently because of the big wheels and not the Fuel pump.
Tom and Matt have proven on countless occasions they are as trail recovery certified as their Corvair. Heck an ambulance themed rig would look good out there. Keep wheeling!
@@gregluthy4451 couch potato? LMAO I grew up in the Rockies in northern Montana 4x4ing! Ive been running heavy equipment since 87, got out of our great Marine Corps in 82. I'm all outdoors! Haven't had a tv for many many years!
@@gregchewie3059 dude, the OP's comment was spot on and funny, don't take offense when someone replies that even the simplest of people can make out that the tire size was not correct for the body panels. if you set up all your vehicles to eat your panels at the limit for steering and suspension, then thats on you. i havent owned a tv in decades and i would never set up a dirt bike so the bars hit the tank when i turn 5 degrees. hasn't matt himself tested his limiting straps and full compress, and from that redesign his shock placement on the heavy wrecker? yes. yes he did. the real broncbuster was the fitment of those tires. take care.
That's the 2nd Bronco recovery you've had that I have seen...for as much as they sell for...their steering and front end components sure don't appear ver beefy for off road use... Another great recovery with TomTom..
So Matt, Very interesting to watch a 60 year old custom built machine drag out a New High Dollar ‘Trail’ Rig that broken down. I met you and the Crew in Pigeon Forge. The Morvair is a truly amazing Rig. It seems to perform its needed task almost effortlessly. Your vision for this Vehicle, the Banana and certainly the Wrecker is truly first rate. I enjoy seeing your Sons and their lovely Mother all involved in your Chosen Work. Keep up the great Spirit with which you go thru your day helping others. Bless You and your Family!
I had a neighbor in the early 1970s who did a lot of work on his property that involved driving his 1969 Bronco, with the 302, through the woods and fields, and sometimes out across a high section of the marsh, at low tide. Needless to say, I tagged along as much as possible. It just blew my mind. It is hard to explain how different cars and tires were back then. I had two full sized Broncos for a long time, plowed with them, used them in the woodlot, took them on long trips on logging roads, and they were great, too, until the salt got them. I hope that the modern Bronco turns out to be as good. I am sure that it is much more capable, but it looks like it has a lot of electronics, which seems like more things to potentially go wrong, right in the middle of a trip or job. I wish there was stilled a stripped, simple, capable 4 X 4 out there that normal people could afford. I kept my 2004 Wrangler 2dr Unlimited on the road as long as I could - no power locks, no power windows, no nothing. I would still be driving that, if the salt (and plowing) didn't eventually catch up with it. No matter how much you wash the things, the salt finds places to go to work, where I live.
It is really cool that people are able to create new products for a brand new Bronco market. I'm not sure if it helps or hurts their cause that Broncos don't appear to be particularly capable vehicles. "An Escape with a roll cage" as someone here put it a few days ago.
It's just people that don't know how to off-road thinking they can buy the big tough truck and do whatever with no consequences. The old Bronco that's still alive was driven by someone that understood its limitations and drove accordingly.
I like the video perspective around the 2:10 mark just before hitting the big rock. I could see and feel how much the truck was slanting and how much it was throwing you around the cab. I felt like I was there with you.
Surprised on such a newer vehicle he needs a fuel pump already, and then Ford, unlike several other newer makes didn't put in a fuel pump access door on top.... made my own custom one on older Explorer....
A man's dream is to have a job that he doesn't need a vacation from, I think Matt has succeeded at acquiring that job. He has a vacation after every recovery and it starts with his victory pie and ends with his next call and I think he enjoys that a lot; I would anyway and I love my job as well.
You won't convince me that modern cars have improved until you can change a fuel pump and sender without dropping the the tank, I had a 91 escort wagon that we just cut a hole in the floor with a nibbler to replace the lock ring and seal
Been watching you for a awhile, I grew up on all of you guys, but I'm amazed at how Tomtom is such a sweet and kind guy. I mean, you all have a sweet aura, but Tomtom never stop to amaze me. Keep it up guys ! Hope we will see more Ted soon, weather is not the same without him.
Love my Jeeps, but I was surprised ford didn't offer a package with a live front axle, I hate IFS, But Ford has the old twin traction beam they could have used, but they have their issues too, Oh well, Jeep still rules!!
Well played Matt! Watched this recovery last week on broncbusterx. Those 2 broncos could have easily recovered themselves without your help. They used you for traffic to their channel! Not cool. What a tool! You and Tom as always did an excellent recovery, but I could see on your face you knew what was up. Love all you and your team does.
TomTom and Matt reminds me of what a friend said one time we loaded a trailer in a very akward place. He said we would never finish if I was in charge, and we would have damaged the heavy lathe and the car if he was in charge. Together was just perfect.
The origional Bronco Buster was a green "70" ford bronco driven by Alan Dalton from Roswell Ga. as seen in the movie " Smokey and the Bandit "77". Filmed in Cumming Ga. Best sounding small block V8 you ever heard if you can find the clip. Wasn't me , I drove a beautiful coppertone '73 bronco v8 as the Bronco Kid (CB time). Biggest regret of my life was i traded it in on an '80 Ford pu. Still banging my head against the wall!
Tom deserves a raise!! Huge asset to the company. I forgot how the heavy wrecker only seats two, that’s unfortunate when a lot of the time the crew is more than two. However they also tend to tow it in. Ok LOL just forget about this entire comment LOL
Reminds me of a saying: "I don't know where we're going, but we're making great time!" Edit: After watching their video, I knew you had better footage of this recovery. Team effort made this one much easier.
a bit of info get yourself an Inline Fuel Pump for High Performance with a Marnie fuel tank (outboard motor gas tank) rig it up with some High pressure cam connectors. when a fuel pump goes out you hook your potable fuel pump and tank and drive out. word of caution in line fuel pump high pressure and 12 volts power don't mix. have brought home several cars throughout the years with this setup when gas pumps go bad on the road.
It's a good thing Tom was there to throw some doubt into the plan. Finding that road to go out on was much easier then trying to go back the way they came.
I enjoy the videos you guys put out. I'm always amazed at how you all handle the recoveries. Not sure if this has been suggested before, or if there is a need for it really, but if you had a small drone you could use it as recon in instances like this to find the path of least resistance and a good recovery route. All the best!
@@goodbyemr.anderson5065 Ask Tom how useful it would have been after he ran up to the top of that hill. A drone would be immensely useful for scouting routes and spotting customers.
I love the early comments about using your 4wd. I can attest, most things can be done in 2wd. I hate that people think they need to buy 4wd because of local weather of ice/snow, I have outdriven 12 of 20 4wd trucks in my 21 camaro in street using summer tires during icy conditions (in my local area). Overall its not how many driven wheels you have, it is you.... There is a point at which it is traction and I would for sure lose, and that is when you STILL need to know how to drive (which is why channels like this exist). This doesn't count for AWD, which is anywhere from 4wd to 1wd when traction is lost.
Matt; "I don't even know what this trail is rated at!" TomTom; "At least PG-13!" 😂😂😂So true! That is a great way to rate trails! Sometimes you just need a little parental guidance then there are trails that require some Mature thought and consideration. And then There is X that you just don't do unless you are a pro and properly equipped!! Thanks guys! Hope to see that big yellow wrecker out there soon!
1:54 indeed it is Tom. As a driver of only 2wd trucks I'm surprised you made it that far in the sand.. must be aired down great tires and combined with keeping momentum in the right spots...2wd takes some skills offroad
Great job guys. Seems like these new Broncos are not built Ford tough... This the third one w major failures or breakdowns in just a few weeks. For the $60-90k they are getting for them you would think they were built a bit better. They look good cool but seems there is issues.
@@ymvrr my friend always buys fords and I don't know how he puts up with the crap that breaks on his cars, suv's and trucks. I've put about 1M miles on all of my Toyotas and have had no where near the amount of issues.
Same thing as with the side by sides, less experienced people buying something and driving it hard. Though if this is really a fuel pump failure, it’s a little more suspicious.
Good to know things haven’t changed lol. I had a ‘91 full size Ford Bronco that went through 3 fuel pumps in 185k miles… I felt like I replaced everything on that vehicle including engine and trans multiple times. A shame, because those were awesome looking and could mid-tier off-road out the lot.
@@karlschwaber9568 new everything has issues. The new trucks are riddled with electrical problems and are way over complicated. I’m not buy anything newer than ‘06.
Look at the Bronco front suspension view in the video at 13:06. The scrub radius of it with the aftermarket tires and wheels is probably over 7"!!! This is why the Bronco has such heavy steering under one wheel bumps. If wheels are installed with a lot more back spacing in front, the car will drive a lot better.
I would love to hear a recap of how the various vehicle's windows were cracked. Particularly the front windshield of the wrecker as I don't recall seeing that explained.
Forgive my ignorance , living in South Africa , where we dont get the Bronco , are those cars a bit soft on the hard rocks , seen 2 vids in close succession and all the time it appears the front suspension is not quite up to it . Here in SA we are spoilt for toughness in 4x4 with the likes of the solid axle front and back Land Cruiser 76 / 79 & 78 series , we also have tough motors in them too , the 4.0 v6 you guys get in the Tacoma , the diesel 1Hz 4.2 non turbo and the 4.5 single turbo D4D diesel ( a very tunable motor . If you guys had those there , jeep amd the bronco would have a hard time on the reliability and toughness stakes .
@Leggo My Ego I agree... you'd have to be super special to own one of these. I wouldn't call them stupid, though, cause that's just plain rude. Anyone who buys a Ford is supporting local business owners who have to rescue and / or repair them. Shout out to all Ford owners, they're the REAL heros!
@@Springfield-1903 LOL, I own a Bronco, been on these trails every week for 20K miles, no issues. The issues arise from guys like these that modify their vehicles without knowing what they're doing. Same thing happens with Jeeps, but for some people special people like you have a weird hatred of Ford and therefore judge them from a different and absurd standpoint. When the failures are due to the bad modifications that the users make, that's not on the manufacturer.
@Leggo My Ego I don't have a hatred of Ford! It's their owners I have a problem with as they think they're the best thing since the washing machine. And they're not. I've been working on vehicles for 27 years and I basically dislike ALL manufacturers for the shenanigans they're guilty of. They ALL try to force owners into the dealership for repairs by employing several different strategies. Ford though, of all the domestic manufacturers is by far the best at it. Pull the cab to change a glow plug??? It's totally ridiculous. Built Ford tough means that they've intentionally designed them to be tough to work on. Sorry to offend your Ford fanboy sensibilities.
And that is why you don't put big tires in a stock fender well. (edit) I have now watched where the sway bar is broke. I take back some of my vitriol, but not all of it...
surely there's a hatch in the floor under the back seats to get to the fuel pump? it should be an easy minimal tools trail fix, assuming of course it's the factory tank and pump and and like tow points american cars actially have the hatch in the first place
Matt for ur for mud extension finders use the black flower bed border. that way it will bend or break lint the metal extensions. a cheap fix that wont bend nothing
@@johnnygreene5447 Great to hear that you and your wife are interested in visiting Costa Rica again! There are so many beautiful places to explore and things to do here.
Matt. Long time listener, first time caller. Been watching your videos since the early days. I Just saw a 1962 Morvair. I mean Corvair station wagon on KSL classifieds in Pahrump Nevada. It was only listed a couple hours before listing got pulled! I hope you bought it so you can build more morvair's ! "Morvair II". Your about ready for another project arent ya?
Glad I am seeing these new Bronco's being put to the test. They don't appear to be very offroad capable. A fuel pump? Ad one of these and the tools to the "offroad extra parts bag" and stow it in those rigs. Makes me skeptical of these rigs now. Pavement princess's.
The aftermarket is going to have to come up with some fixes for sure. Lots of axles, sway bars and tie rods breaking. This is the first fuel pump. Seems a little premature.
@@truckguy6.7 It was noted in earlier comments that it wasn’t the fuel pump after all. The oversized wheel had rubbed the wiring harness which is in the wheel well (go figure) and broke the wire.
Has nothing to do with the Bronco, the rescues have all been user caused, including this one. I own a bronco and I've done almost every major trail in the area without issue.
You have a ton of people that never wheeled in their life that bought a Bronco because it was the cool thing at the time then you have this guy that isn't the first Bronc he's Busted :(
Still a new vehicle that people haven't figured out all of the quirks yet and what to reinforce when aftermarket modifications are done. In this case the wheels were too big and damaged the wiring harness for the fuel pump.
Not a red flag, it's volume. Remember there were 175,000 pre-orders for these dating back to July 2020. As these things continue to roll off the assembly line, you're going to be slammed with hundreds of them on the roads...and a strong percentage of them off-road...in Hurricane... breaking tie-rods :)

For anyone wondering, i Saw the Video on the BroncBuster channel, It was the wiring harness in the wheel well that was cut apparently because of the big wheels and not the Fuel pump.
Blah blah blah… don’t come up with excuses and just admit the unreliability of your though looking vehicle.

Thanks for the comment...I thought it was highly unlikely a new fuel pump would fail..had to be some other reason
Yep, rerouted the harness when I installed the mudflaps...
Tom is a VALUABLE asset on these recoveries, and around the shop!
Odds of damage go down drastically when Tom is around. He is just that guy every get her done person needs.

I can tell Tom is the kind of guy who like to do things right, and has some good skills and logic to match.

@It's The Sun that's exactly what I was thinking 😆
Did you catch the part where the guy said that he had already replaced the fuel pump once?
This was happening on the raptors as well.
I love the contrast of Tom being so concerned about safety and Matt not caring at all😂
I was gonna say the same. Laughed good from the "I want rocks in my windshield" comment!
So Matt, Very interesting to watch a 60 year old custom built machine drag out a New High Dollar ‘Trail’
Rig that broken down. I met you and the Crew in Pigeon Forge. The
Morvair is a truly amazing Rig.
It seems to perform its needed task almost effortlessly. Your vision for this Vehicle, the Banana and certainly the Wrecker is truly first rate. I enjoy seeing your Sons and their lovely Mother all involved in your Chosen Work. Keep up the great Spirit with which you go thru your day helping others.
Bless You and your Family!
Having on board air would be awesome in cases like this. Airing up the tires seems like it could've helped with steering ease.
You can just tell that Matt is I good person and it makes me happy to watch someone who is as good of a guy as Matt.
he made tom walk to the driver side to lock in the hub :(
That’s the shotgun riders job. Get out lock hubs open gates and what ever else that comes up.
@@Staindsoul16 Yeah that was weird, he could've at least done his own side

The new Ford Bronco sure seems the new towing gold mine.
I'd rather build an old school Bronco than own one of the new ones. It would be more reliable and much cheaper.
People are just starting to realize these are not your grandpa's 60s Ford. Ford today builds completely trash to include the bronco.
It's just people that don't know how to off-road thinking they can buy the big tough truck and do whatever with no consequences.
The old Bronco that's still alive was driven by someone that understood its limitations and drove accordingly.
Trouble is so are the new Jeeps. They are built for looking good in the driveway and WiFi. You can watch a show while you are waiting for a tow!

@goodbyemr.anderson5065 DJI drones have ranges of 2.5 to 4.5 miles. Sounds pretty significant to me.
They've used one in the past for videos.
Most of Utah is federally controlled, where it is illegal to operate a drone. There are a number of other issues, but that is the main one.
That bronco look cool and all but either needs a bigger lift or smaller tires
It needs a solid front axel

1:54 indeed it is Tom. As a driver of only 2wd trucks I'm surprised you made it that far in the sand.. must be aired down great tires and combined with keeping momentum in the right spots...2wd takes some skills offroad
In a way, attempting technical trails in 2WD tears them up with excessive wheel spin. Some trails in Colorado request being in 4WD.
In another video I think they said they keep the morvair tires at 6 psi
Really enjoy when Matt knows the capability of his vehicles and ask do you know what drive he's in .
My vote is for "just right throttle". Good job!

Good to know things haven’t changed lol. I had a ‘91 full size Ford Bronco that went through 3 fuel pumps in 185k miles… I felt like I replaced everything on that vehicle including engine and trans multiple times. A shame, because those were awesome looking and could mid-tier off-road out the lot.
Man... The wrecker is a BEAST, but the moorvair is still an AMAZING off road machine!!
damn these Bronco's are doing the front splits left and right...
Yall make that look a lot easier than it really is. Love your content.
Matt's never even seen this trail & was like yep. We got this! 💪
Nice to see that Badlands winch putting in work. I love mine and you can’t beat it for the price. Got mine for $400 USD and saved me twice in 3 years.
4:44 It always amazes me to see both desert and snowy mountains at the same place.
That bronco looks pretty new for the fuel pump to go out .
Yep, the new Bronco have a lot of issues, the main one is in the engine.
it seems many Broncos get pulled out of Utah trails. New Jeeps and new Broncos seem to have a reliability issue.
@@karlschwaber9568 new everything has issues. The new trucks are riddled with electrical problems and are way over complicated. I’m not buy anything newer than ‘06.
Sweet deal to get your Bronc Busted channel exposure to a potential 1M+ views
Hey! Good morning everybody! Thumbs UP to Matt and crew! 👀👍👀
Matt I’d say the new Broncos will keep you busy for a long time 😂😂😂😂👍
Well the name Bronc buster was fitting. I had to change out my Nissan Frontier in tank pump also, but at 300 K miles.
Matt says it all at 08:32 -- "This doesn't seem like that much of an obstacle"
Fords!
Great recovery, guys!
I think a level would be nice to see on your dash so we the viewer might get a better sense of your angles. Thanks for the great videos
Look at the Bronco front suspension view in the video at 13:06. The scrub radius of it with the aftermarket tires and wheels is probably over 7"!!! This is why the Bronco has such heavy steering under one wheel bumps. If wheels are installed with a lot more back spacing in front, the car will drive a lot better.
It's amazing how far (in two-wheel-drive) in rough terrain you can overcome with the right tires, HP, and skill.
Fun part of that bronco is it has TWO fuel pumps, one in tank and one high pressure on the engine. Double the fun.
Same with the turbo Wranglers
@@mediocreman2 and nearly every other car made nowadays, almost everything has direct injection
Bet it's the computer shutting down the fuel pumps because it "sensed" an accident.
@@jeffhutchins7048 well they also showed at one point that the LF tire was rubbing a harness. Not sure if the fuel pump wires run in that area or not
Double the failures. It seems the tire rubbed a bundle of wires. Great place for wires in the wheel well. LOL
Hey Matt can't wait to see what the next big back story will be with you and the gang. The Wrecker Games were great, going to be hard to beat!
Lizzy's ride must be next!
@@MR-ex4vh you cant build a off-road horse
I would love to hear a recap of how the various vehicle's windows were cracked. Particularly the front windshield of the wrecker as I don't recall seeing that explained.
Forgive my ignorance , living in South Africa , where we dont get the Bronco , are those cars a bit soft on the hard rocks , seen 2 vids in close succession and all the time it appears the front suspension is not quite up to it . Here in SA we are spoilt for toughness in 4x4 with the likes of the solid axle front and back Land Cruiser 76 / 79 & 78 series , we also have tough motors in them too , the 4.0 v6 you guys get in the Tacoma , the diesel 1Hz 4.2 non turbo and the 4.5 single turbo D4D diesel ( a very tunable motor . If you guys had those there , jeep amd the bronco would have a hard time on the reliability and toughness stakes .
Just food for thought. Up here in Alberta we like to cut a small hinged hatch in the floor above the fuel pump. Easy peasey. Cheers 😉
Special shout out to Ford and the new Broncos for all the great content 😅
🤣
This was because of the idiot owners modifications that cut the wire harness. Has nothing to do with Ford.
@Leggo My Ego
I agree... you'd have to be super special to own one of these. I wouldn't call them stupid, though, cause that's just plain rude. Anyone who buys a Ford is supporting local business owners who have to rescue and / or repair them. Shout out to all Ford owners, they're the REAL heros!
@@Springfield-1903 LOL, I own a Bronco, been on these trails every week for 20K miles, no issues. The issues arise from guys like these that modify their vehicles without knowing what they're doing. Same thing happens with Jeeps, but for some people special people like you have a weird hatred of Ford and therefore judge them from a different and absurd standpoint. When the failures are due to the bad modifications that the users make, that's not on the manufacturer.
@Leggo My Ego
I don't have a hatred of Ford! It's their owners I have a problem with as they think they're the best thing since the washing machine. And they're not. I've been working on vehicles for 27 years and I basically dislike ALL manufacturers for the shenanigans they're guilty of. They ALL try to force owners into the dealership for repairs by employing several different strategies. Ford though, of all the domestic manufacturers is by far the best at it. Pull the cab to change a glow plug??? It's totally ridiculous. Built Ford tough means that they've intentionally designed them to be tough to work on.
Sorry to offend your Ford fanboy sensibilities.
And that is why you don't put big tires in a stock fender well.
(edit) I have now watched where the sway bar is broke. I take back some of my vitriol, but not all of it...
We loved the Wrecker Games. What family fun!❤
I started the video and about 5 min in the ad break was for Sunoco. I just had to laugh 😂 ... Love what you guys (and girls) do.
Wow new bronco and fuel pump already??? Gotta love fords
So many broken down broncos lately uh oh, trying to remember the last time I saw you go rescue a jeep lol
Fuel pump on a new bronco.. wow
Man, this show is addictive. The adventures never end!
surely there's a hatch in the floor under the back seats to get to the fuel pump? it should be an easy minimal tools trail fix, assuming of course it's the factory tank and pump and and like tow points american cars actially have the hatch in the first place
Matt for ur for mud extension finders use the black flower bed border. that way it will bend or break lint the metal extensions. a cheap fix that wont bend nothing
Me gusta mucho empezar las mañanas con estos videos😃, muchas gracias Matt, saludos desde Costa Rica
My wife and I want to go back there to Costa Rica!
@@johnnygreene5447 Great to hear that you and your wife are interested in visiting Costa Rica again! There are so many beautiful places to explore and things to do here.
I've enjoyed the wrecker build and games. Good recovery y'all !
Matt. Long time listener, first time caller. Been watching your videos since the early days. I Just saw a 1962 Morvair. I mean Corvair station wagon on KSL classifieds in Pahrump Nevada. It was only listed a couple hours before listing got pulled! I hope you bought it so you can build more morvair's !
"Morvair II". Your about ready for another project arent ya?
Man! Those new Broncos are breaking left and right.
Imagine getting stuck and the guy coming to rescue you drives up in 2wd to get you. Thats a moral breaker 😂
*morale
Glad I am seeing these new Bronco's being put to the test. They don't appear to be very offroad capable. A fuel pump? Ad one of these and the tools to the "offroad extra parts bag" and stow it in those rigs. Makes me skeptical of these rigs now. Pavement princess's.
Can't articulate very much if need to with those street fenders either - ( : < (
it wasn't in the end, the oversize tyres took out the wiring harness and blew the fuse.
I have seen two many bronco’s being rescued by you and Rory. I guess if I had a bronco I wouldn’t take it off the main roads
The aftermarket is going to have to come up with some fixes for sure. Lots of axles, sway bars and tie rods breaking. This is the first fuel pump. Seems a little premature.
@@truckguy6.7 It was noted in earlier comments that it wasn’t the fuel pump after all. The oversized wheel had rubbed the wiring harness which is in the wheel well (go figure) and broke the wire.
@@JT_70 Good to know, it did seem odd a fuel pump would fail that fast.
Has nothing to do with the Bronco, the rescues have all been user caused, including this one. I own a bronco and I've done almost every major trail in the area without issue.
@@2011blueman So your new Bronco must be leaking water like crazy too hey?
Looks like the Bronco is providing lots of entertainment for Rory and Matt.
Tyres look great do they fit when you turn . " nope" . Great job 👏
It’s amazing how many brand new Ford Broncos they have had to rescue recently.
You have a ton of people that never wheeled in their life that bought a Bronco because it was the cool thing at the time then you have this guy that isn't the first Bronc he's Busted :(
@@rydfreeNot built beefy enough for extreme conditions maybe. Aftermarket will solve the issues shortly I’d think.
Still a new vehicle that people haven't figured out all of the quirks yet and what to reinforce when aftermarket modifications are done. In this case the wheels were too big and damaged the wiring harness for the fuel pump.
Built Ford "tough"
@@mediocreman2 It was a cut wire during other modifications and not the pump from what I've read elsewhere.
Lots of Broncos being recovered. Red flag to me.
Not a red flag, it's volume. Remember there were 175,000 pre-orders for these dating back to July 2020. As these things continue to roll off the assembly line, you're going to be slammed with hundreds of them on the roads...and a strong percentage of them off-road...in Hurricane... breaking tie-rods :)
The fact that it's american made garbage wasn't a red flag in of itself? LMao. Buy toyota if you want reliability
I preordered new Bronco but after testing one decided to stick to my FJ until it can't drive no more (which will probably never happen).
FORD product new or old hare just good to the scrap yard in FRENCH FORD mean Faraile ordure rebu dechet or ferail ordiner reparation dispendieuse you do very good job Matt's
Always a good day when I see you in my notifications 📢
You seem to be pulling out a good number of the new broncos
