Thanks for saving my bacon, Robby and crew!
@RobbyLayton You need to run a regulator between the new lighting wiring harness and the alternator. Plus you need to make sure you use the proper gage wires for the lighting and any wiring you replaced. Also make sure the measure the resistance of each wire so that it meats the correct parameters for the lights or and if you still have all the wires you pulled out of whiskers you might want to measure all the wiring resistance lvls on them as well. All just to make sure everything you did under the dash is working properly as well. Check your New Lights and your Wiring for Shorts to ground, or your wiring with a power lead that's grounded.
@MattsOffRoadRecovery I really Hope you guys get a used skid steer and use the drive train out of it on the Bomb-Bee.
hmm out shown by a 300 straight 6. matt love you videos but the ls isnt as great as you think
@@davidsesona4156 No its better than He thinks. That old Straight 6 has old school flat tapper heads on it and its entire internal setup rather is built for TORQUE. So yeah that old inline 6 did a little showing off in this video but that thing will NEVER show a LS. There is a reason the LS is considered the BEST Engine on the planet. SO Dont get all cocky when an old well maintained Straight 6 Shows off. P.S. Your Completely Right I just wanted to sound cool.... lol
@@novicracker1980 ls is over rated I’ll never own one driven many of stuff with ls it doesn’t impress me any proves how small people are
I feel like to motto for this trip was “none of our projects suck as much as all of our projects combined”😂 Improvise, adapt, overcome
LOL..Perfect.
A wild and crazy day! Y’all are so much fun, always good attitudes and full of play; like a pack of puppies!
A fun day out with friends, how cool is that!! The wiring and the brakes, both issues you knew about, now just need to improve.
I love the comradurie you guys all have. Makes these videos so pure and fun.
I watched both your and Matt's videos. Both were enjoyable. It's great to see that you all seemed to still have a good time despite all the issues you had to deal with.
After such an ordeal, have you ever considered that perhaps your crew should go better prepared in the future? You have the room on/in Whiskers for quite a bunch of emergency equipment. In addition, your crew should be dressed for the "what if."
Talk about the turtle and hare toys! I happen to like both. Special mention to the living room sized version. Under stated and over performed. Good luck on the wiring. Vibration turns wiring into putty.
Brilliant! Love you all guys! I got a filling only responsible person is Tom ofc, with all the equipment, but still you all nailed it as always.
Great video! I'm always amazed how you all turn trouble into fun! I love this channel!
When I first learned about designing electronic projects I was told to do the math to determine the requirements of any part and then increase the value, in this case the current available, by at least half to be certain the reliability will always be there. They don't do that in todays designs, but you should.
The Moose mating call [brakes are hilarious. ]
Great video from your perspective Robby. Yours filled in the gaps. All those collective minds working to solve the problem. Whiskers Save the day!!it’s like the Tortoise and the Rabbit. Bombi beat u off the line, but Whisker Finished. Great collaboration video Robby, Hillbilly and Colton🤙😎
If anyone can make this all work this crew can get it done 👍
When in doubt use a bigger wire. You might use circuit breakers over fuses. You could use the Maxi Fuses.
Robby never be afraid to put to big a wiring incase it does over charge it can handle it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Matt’s gotta eat a humble pie for this victory since he made the joke about melting wire smell then you had to go complete the rescue. Also another thought abou Matt’s drive axle, I wonder if it is starving the gears for oil because it’s driving the gears backwards compared to how they normally work.
The Bombi is a Clown Car. Whiskers was designed for the whole gang.
It seems like the differential may have been Matt's issue all along. Those brakes have been screaming since it was put back together.
Too cool Robby! If everything had gone well this would have been Boring! Y'all didn't disappoint! 🎶 "Breakin the Law, Breakin the Law! 🎶 Hilarious. Watched twice 😆!
Get rid of two snow craps. Put your money into a new or previous owned track vehicle. Or put tracs on perfect running vehicle. You should of called Chad to wire whiskers in the first place
Innovation is Matt and robby's code word
Wiskers windows make me sad. New alternator a bit larger wire, you will get it figured out.
Nothing against the bombi, but I like the people hauler version of whiskers. Seems more useful overall.
Whiskers stole the show on this one for sure. This was a great video you couldn't have scripted a better one.
Well... It's good TV🤷🏻♂️
Maybe if you add a third snow cat😆
Robby grinning ear-to-ear in the family truckster
Matts front differential welded together because they didn't put fluid in it, because even a little bit of fluid that would have never done that. Did you mean to put a 16 amp alternator in it Robby?
Wiskers has a voltage regulator issue. Buy a 1 wire alternator. They are self exciting and self regulating. Problem solved.
It’s like a rerun of Matt’s video
"Why are we always fixing things on top of a mountain?"
Two broken snow cats in one video 😂😂😂😂 hopeless 😂😂😂😂😂
The 300 vs 5.3 ls…..hmmm well you got steering! I know how fast you can go lol
That 5.3 is going to break stuff.
Great video guys
Matt plans to all-season his Bombee, so yes you guys should do some demonstrations of them in sand or whatever at the games. 🗿👽🗿👽🗿👽
You gotta be KITTEN ME!!
Amps Roby amps you wired it like trying to pull a bugs buttt over a water Mellon
Two halfw make a whole. Whiskers and bombi a snow cat make😂
Expertly watched! And enjoyed
Yes wiskers to off road games.
Tom looks so disappointed
I'll be disappointed if you don't do up Whiskers like the cat version of the Dumb & Dumber van.
Who needs Chad......Robbie does.
Yes I do!! I need that new alternator installed
Why do I feel like Whiskers is evidence that things are better left stock?
Robbie, what were you saying about Chad a little while ago? 😀😀😀
I hope when you paint whiskers you leave the kitty cat on him still needs to be a tiger striped kitty cat Can’t beat the old school engines ford power
What a comedy of errors! But all's well that ends well!
I want first ride in Whiskers!!! Oh and a replacement robby sticker I'm is falling off 😢.
Take whiskers!!!
he should have not cut off lateral stabilty off tracks
a lot of hillbilly type fixi. lol
you should always carry electrical tape with you! Good as zip ties and duct tape!
I subscribe to a LOT of automotive channels, and there are several more that I visit occasionally. They all seem to have one thing in common: crappy parts. The most frequent thing I see on a daily basis is brand new parts that are bad right out of the box or shortly thereafter. I wonder (China) where (China) all (China) these (China) bad (China) parts (China) are (China) coming (China) from (China) ?
Snow cats are not very dependable. Maybe you just have to work the bugs out?
Thanks for the help Robby!
Matt, did you add the limited-slip differential additive to the Bombi's 9-inch? If not the clutches are most likely burnt up.
Edit: I got to thinking that you're using an open differential which wouldn't use an additive, but it seems an open diff' wouldn't steer or perform properly in many situations. And I'm no specialist at this so all I can do is wish you luck. lol.
I know ripsaws use a spool differential and 3 brembos for braking per side
Wiskers might break but she won't let you down ❤
She deserves the full Robby Layton Nation quick and dirty rebuild now.
Fresh paint, dual alternators, some glass. Would be great to see.
This is the best episode yet guys. Love your work.
not worth a perfect paintjob. it will get scratched real quick. let Demri and the kids give it a creative paintjob then Robby can drop some clear over it.
i once had a car painted at a kindergarden. just covered off the lights and windows and let he kids go crazy XD . they loved it and waved like crazy when they spotted it in traffic.
Whiskers is awesome !
I agree that whiskers needs a full rebuild and wiring by Chad.
I agree. I said it last year when they were talking about getting a different one, that Whiskers is a character on the channel now and they need to fix it up and keep it!
@@delbutler885 nah the wiring is Robbies baby now. Chad could perhaps give some advice. But Robbie did an amazing job to get that dash working first go.
If he's got an ammeter up in the cluster I suspect he's seeing some weird things going on if he doesn't have a current shunt at the alternator to feed it and he's running the whole system power up there to get the reading.
Aside from that though it's a damn tidy job he gets to make even nicer the second time lol.
This isn't dissing Chad in any way just to be clear. I just don't think Robbie will let this beat him after he put so much effort into it the first time around.
“why are we always fixing things on top of a mountain” the boss had me laughing very hard at that!
I love Whiskers despite its little imperfections. I also like that it doesn’t have a fancy paint job and looks like a workhorse. It has personality! Love the collabs and that Tom Tom had his backpack and snowshoes; always prepared! 😅
I think Wiskers needs updated, he totally redeemed himself. New paint job, new windows. Come on, Robbie, give that thing some love. ❤❤
I totally agree. This would be one hell of a machine when redone.
0:55 just love Demri's Laughter! .. Makes me think of springtime and petty flowers :)
And sheez Purdy 😅😅😅
Def!! :)
This is what friendship is all about, what a great episode!
What could be better, two unfinished snow cats on a mountain recovery, wow! You all came through together. I hope to see Wiskers and Bombi in final working order soon. Thanks both of you for sharing your professional lives with us.
When you have as much fun as you guys are having its hard to call it work. Awesome job. Whiskers totally redeemed its self.
I love the happy disposition of your and Matt’s crew. Everybody laughing while smoke is coming out of the dash… amazing!
The only thing Whiskers needs, is a giant ddecal of Bombi,(the cat), on the side, with Robbies logo circle dangling off its collar !
Bombi sound like a beached walrus when turning 😊
The bombi needs a hydrostatic transmission.
ya.... raid a hydro hay swather..lol
Love Katlin’s pink cowboy hat too
Whiskers rescues the truck and the Snow Goose with the honking brakes! Epic!!
Holy Cow!
That was a Murphy's Law episode, if there ever was one! Yikes!
A lot of team work and creative thinking got the job done though!
Well done!
Fuse are your friends. Fuses open before wires melt. Electric 101. Wire size is never too big, Electric 102.
The lower the voltage the more critical calculations are . I'm a sparky and forever getting it wrong with low voltage stuff on my camper , my boat etc through laziness but I always play safe on fuse sizing , a professional cheat then lol . Impedance is your enemy, and as you say, fuses are your friends .
Yes fuse is my friend indeed. Relay is nice guy too.
I hate wiring…every time a new problem…. Cable are the butches of a vehicle……
And understanding the technology your working with. If that ammeter uses a built in shunt that requires the charging load to be fed through it then you need cabling capable of carrying that load going both into and out of it all the way from the alternator to the ammeter and back to the battery. On a the typical 32 amp Ford alternator used on older equipment that wasn't that big of a problem but with the newer ones tipping the 100 amp scale then you need a remote shunt for the power to pass through and an ammeter that just reads a low powered signal wire going from the shunt to the dashboard. That's why many today forgo the in-dash ammeter and go with just a voltmeter to show 12.5 to 14/15 volts as Ok and above or below as a problem. Second item is to eliminate the load on the ignition switch and dash wiring by using relays. Generic 40 amp relays are still just about $10 each and only require a few Milli-amps of power to activate and using them tends to make ignition switches in older vehicles last a lot longer along with become much more reliable.
For many going with a Painless brand wiring harness for a classic vehicle along with the relay box option relieves a lot of the headaches since you just buy the one that supports the dashboard and number of circuits you need to run and just connect the labeled wires to the battery, starter, alternator, lights, signals, gauges, senders, etc, etc. As the name suggests they do take a lot of the Pain out of the process.
Best!
You all are using Murphy's Law to the full capacity. 😅
Whiskers ROCKS!
Days of Thunder + Snow Cats = THUNDER CATS! 😂😂 Bombi vs Whiskers 🎉
Tom Tom must have been a Scout 'BE PREPARED' It's great to see you guys all together having a blast great content keep it up😊😊😊
Tom has been around long enough to make sure he has a backup plan.
Yeah, & isn't he from Idaho, or Montana, or Canada or sum such northerly place? Where there's year round snow on the mountains...😊
@@davidcampbell4465 he moved there from Idaho.
I think this video defines, "A Comedy of Errors".
I’m going to the off road games from Florida and would love a ride in whiskers.
Floridian in a SnowCat in Sand. I like it.
I don't know how but they just keep getting better. So many things have been mentioned. At 20:28 with Tom's motivational moment cracked me up. Then in the 28 minute where they were jumping in the suburban, like hopping on a freight train.
There's the doubters and whiners to talk about not having these rigs prepared before you go out. I see that you fix the problems and pretty soon they'll be golden. Great to have these two teams work together . I previously subscribed to three different shows on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Now I just watched these two because of their values and attitudes.
Thank you for all that you put out
The Bombi's brakes for steering need a 2nd look me thinks LOL. Love watching the crews get together and have fun while helping customers. Always a good time! Cannot wait to see Bombi doing donuts without issues!
9:38 you could get at least two people under the engine cowl remember Colton got stuck there ?😂 great collaboration.
Great job! I’m always amazed at the absence of a Snow Brush?
What happened to the locals that went to town to get a spare cam sensor?????
Probably next weeks episode.... Rescue the lost local's......LOL
This is Lowell. We ran down to get the sensor, we came back up and put the sensor in the rollback. It looks like they were able to get the Bombi back without replacing it tho.
How many things can go wrong and still "we'll get 'em out".
"Derby Car Fixes" and jumper boxes to the rescue!
Since you posted the video, I was confident no one got hurt. So I just leaned back and just enjoyed the episode. This is just good entertainment. Y’all gotta do more joint episodes. Thanks, I really enjoyed this one.
Lots of traffic on that closed road.
I noticed that too!
Lowell here, closed roads are always the most fun.
Thank You to the 2 men who stopped to help and went for the sensor !! You're good people.
It was cool to meet them! I’m Lowell.
The teams, the drama, the suspense, on trail wrenching, fire, ice, our pets heads are falling off!!!!! 😂 Fun , fun, fun!!✌️
Hey Robby, your point of view Video clarifies even better, your
Recovery of the Recovery of the Recovered Suburban & Blue Steel too !
Poor Matt's got some eatin' of his 'Humble Pie' but it was A VICTORY for sure.
Cheers Guys, Gals, real AWESOME !!!
If you have ever lived with a mechanic you smiled through this whole episode. Never a dull moment on any adventure as field tests and road side repairs are the norm.
I just love you guys to the moon and back . The best team and not a team lol. I have learned so much from both or your channels . Keep Trucking guy!!!
Great team work! Just enjoy watching your content.
We don’t have cable, we don’t enjoy much streaming stuff. Robby, Matt and Paul is what we look forward to watching. Love y’all!
Every problem is an opportunity. Wish I could live with that attitude.
I'm glad to see I am not the only one having these types of challenges with projects. Lol.
I bet Matt is really giving the full weld rear end a second thought. And the Boss Demri has the cutiest giggles .❤❤❤❤😊
One of the best combined videos ever,, hilarious when it hits fan 🤣 just keep on going
TEAMWORK MADE THE DREAM WORK. HEY ROBBIE DID ANYONE THINK ABOUT TURNING ON ALL OF WHISKERS LIGHTS ON : BECAUSE THAT WAS THE REASON YOU UPGRADED IT. SO IT DIDN'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO DUMP THE EXTRA VOLTAGE, TRUE. YOU COULD HAVE ALSO CHARGED THE JUMPER PACK WITH THE EXTRA POWER, PLUS ADDING THICKER GAUGE. YOU'LL ALSO NEED TOO CHECK THE MAXIMUM LOAD OF THE GAUGE OF WIRE AND PUT A FUSE ON IT. GOOD RECOVERY FOR WHISKERS . HAVE A GOOD WEEK AND COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS AMEN.
Tom brings snow shoes and goggles, a thinker!
Here's an idea for a new axle: how about a drive axle from a Bombi. Big oil bath differential. Internal band brakes that can be relined protected from snow and ice.
Take into consideration how many bombi-like snowcats lasted many decades with that set up. Kind of like they knew what they were doing. Having had experience with external exposed brakes on a tracked vehicle I expected there would be some issues in some snow / ice / temperatures.
You knocked it out of the park building the Banana, Morvair and worlds largest off road wrecker but the old snowcats seem to have been designed pretty good right from the start..
Would think there is enough turbulence to throw oil around in that inverted axle diff but the pinion bearings wouldn't be getting the same volume of oil from above.
Those aftermarket auto shop sensors for all makes and models seem to be a gamble. OEM often a better bet.
Did you know that NASA has a big fleet of 1970's vehicles (cars, trucks, service vehicles, ambulances) that are all mechanical. No ECU's control modules, sensors etc. Old school points distributors, carburetors, etc that can be fixed with a screw driver, pliers (ocaisional claw hammer). Just sayin'.
These videos are definitely some of my favorites!!! Y'all's crews together are the best parts of UA-cam!!!
One of the best recovery videos I have ever watched. All you guys and girls get along so well, like said somewhere else in the comments: this no longer work, this is having a good time.
Not gonna lie. Robby has the best personality ever. Demery is the luckiest person to have him as his better half.
