Eric deserves his own award for Doing what happens to all working Trucks, Overcoming Breakdowns & Obstacles. Glad Challenger came thru with a Lift for the Shop
Team BSF are ROCKSTARS
Eric in my opinion you guys definitely surprised a lot of people with how you got through everything without having a modified tow truck like everyone else. I will give you credit that was an incredible save the car ended up on it's side but you keep the tow truck on it's wheels. When you can impress Rory that says a lot. I am looking forward to your next video
We agree!
The wrecker is modified, though... It has Lockers, Fuel Injection and Hydraulic Assist Power Steering. I would say it's 99% Stock.
@@Kickinpony66 OP can be forgiving for not realizing its modified, given how minimal the modifications were, compared to the rest of the big boys. You have to be a real gearhead to know what goes into offroading, what's truly stock and what isn't.
Eric installed the driver mod. Ol boy can drive.
You have contributed more to the off road community than any of the others. You traveled the farthest, incurred the most expenses, and competed out of your element, all without the resources some others may have. You and your team are the best. Thank you.
Nothing against coil overs, link suspensions, 6 or more winches on a truck, but. You, Rory and Merlon just showed how capable old school leafs and simpler design can be. KISS baby!
For being out of your normal environment and running a rig that wasn't set up for rock crawling trails, your team did a phenomonal job! Big thumbs up!!!
Eric, once you've got the wrecker in the shop, I'd love to see a video of you going over damage, any improvements you have in mind, and any lessons you learned for next year.
Great idea
Definitely... would love to see that video, as well as the same from the other competitors.
THATS GOING TO BE A LONG VIDEO
Thumb up you did get best way.
Verry good idea
Eric and crew seem like such genuinely nice people! Super happy about the lift and I think it’s really cool how Matt credits you as the OG of UA-cam recovery. What a great community to be apart of!
Love your chan Eric. I just recently realized what "BSF" stands for. In the same vid I found out you don't charge , but volunteer your time and equipment to help others. I have so much respect for you and Mara. Congratz on getting the new shop and also on the lift you were given at the games. It's good to see that others appreciate what you are doing. You and Mara are the type that everyone wants for a neighbor. Greetings and best wishes from Eastern Canada.
Absolutely agree. Helping others for free is class act. I love how Matt was able to get Eric a lift for the shop, that alone might have made the trip worth it. Glad people made it possible for Eric to come across the country for the event, and I think I heard someone got Eric a new carburetor for the event. Kindness makes the world a better place.
Eric always seems to be having fun. You can tell he really loves the sport and he knows his stuff.
Outstanding play so far Eric, I love your never give up mentality and the fact that you know your truck so well, nothing bothers you. You are the most compromised because your rig was made for a very different environment. You are doing great, keep it up. Catch you on the next one, stay safe.
The next WGames need to be in your neck of the woods. That way it makes it fair for yall
Yes. Deffinately.
You post it, we’ll watch it. Loved watching the full bodied wrecker doing work.
Absolutely
Maybe even twice
good old bumper jacks I remember the old cars used to have the slit in the bumper
Thanks for representing Wisconsin so well. Next games should be in Midwest mud.
30 min, 1 hour, or lord of the rings 3 hours.. we are here for it Eric!
❤Ole Red is like a loyal ole dog.. never leaves ya side!❤ Maybe one day it will be able to spend some Spa time down in Utah and let the fam do some upgrades to the ole boy, but is still does what it does! Like i Told Rory, i hope the next time ya out on a recovery, you still see us lining the trail and cheering yall on.. cause when we see the videos.. WE ARE! And always have been.. since 2009🎉
The ironic and fun thang about the wrecker games is when the wrecker breaks you can fix it and carry on … for the regular off-roading events when those expensive buggies and what not break they gotta call y’all to tow them out. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👊🏻💪🏻
The mutual respect from all to all the competitors was just awesome. It was great to watch how each competitor made sure the others were safe / good / back on the trail. Nothing but good clean fun had by all. Friendships built that will last a lifetime. This terrain was definitely out of your wheelhouse, but you handled like a pro... After watching the others, I now understand why they bob the front ends (to avoid damage, and to fit into tight spaces). A agree with some of the other comments, it would be nice to see what the ending damage was, and what were the lessons learned... Also congrats on the new lift... well deserved.
The damage to Eric’s wrecker bed shows why Paul, Rory, and Matt have rock-sliders for that environment, just like the damage to the rodeos that didn’t have rock-sliders. The link suspension coil springs is special to the rock crawler world.
11:01 that save is always one of the highlights whenever I watch these videos
The Wrecker Games were a RIOT......Matt & Crew came up with a great idea. I was kinda here and there before the Games started but once they did I was full on hoping you'd win. The trail repairs proves how good all of you guys are. The funniest thing was Merlin & Colt getting that PreWar Chevy/Cummins to eat on the heavy pull....bloody funny. When you were awarded for never quitting I lost it. That lift will be a great addition to the shop. Just look at that shop of yours...well done, well deserved !!
No talking smak, no bragging, no acting like you know it all, just get the job done.
Eric, you did amazingly well. So much for you and your team to be proud of. For a rig that wasn't built for that terrain, it came down to a lot of your skill ability. The simple fact is that your rig is incredible, and you do it all to just help your local off roaders. You understand, and know your rig so well, even things like knowing (and adding) certain points on your rig for failure specifically as it means it's a fast easy fix to do.
An amazing job/few days, and you really do need to be very proud of your performance there, it was so good!
Yep, better the shackle bolt break than other parts that cause damage when they break, more pressure.
Robby's laugh is infectious. It looks like it was fun for all, but I'd like to hear how Kris was enjoying her ride.
Your team is outstanding. What you made that wrecker do was amazing.
My dad put food wrapped in tinfoil on the hot engine of his car or truck like you did when I was just a lad and I'm beating the hell out of 70. I remember times we had baked beans and hotdogs with RC cola.
Thanks for bringing back memories.
I saw in another video with Robby taking your bribe hotdogs.
Stay safe and maybe we will meet on the trail. ✌️
We used to do the same thing on road trips and then eat at the roadside parking with picnic tables or on the tail gate. Good memories.
@@EvrttGrn
Yes indeed. 👍🇺🇸
cook book centered around cooking on the engine, Manifold destiny
Eric is the working man with the working truck. I've watched his videos from the beginning. And its STILL the same truck! The amount of work this truck has done coupled with its performance makes it a winner to me. The most important thing is he was able to fix his truck on the trail with what he had on hand! My point is his truck has been in service for a long time, i actually enjoy seeing something break in this torture test, and seeing how the operator will handle the situation.
Eric you better be there next year!!
Well mostly, there was the frame incident 😂
But same body went back on the new frame so I say it counts.
Chris hung in there great I bet she was a little sore the next day lol hope you guys give the wrecker some well-deserved love this year after putting it through this crazy difficult trip
I’ll watch whatever you post. Anything from a short to a movie.
Exactly
Haven't been able to watch all the different videos from all the channels but in the end you guys win , that old GM is the epitome of TUFF
Is winner winner chicken dinner
The love and respect for Eric at this event was palpable. And rightly so. Truly the OG of offroad recovery: you bring the truck you've got. Now I have to get a squarebody.
Good job! Conventional wrecker set up vs off-road rigs... You did very well! Congrats!
Thanks! 👍
You sure got the correct award for not giving up. Enjoyed video. Thanks.
you are the original OG of offroad towing. glad you guys made it out there and you guys suprised everyone
dont be afraid of uploading longer videos !!! if someone is watching a 1:30 MOVIE on your channel the algorithm pays you!!!!! there will be plenty who will enjoy it all you have to do is upload :)
Great work on your pull - to Utah, up-Utah, and back
just look at channels like Andrew Camarata! he records everything like an elephant and does mega (video)dumps!
Eric in the BSF GMC has a breakdown, so Rory from Trail Mater runs a winch from The Fab Rats Rat Rod to assist.
THIS! This is why I continue to watch these people.
I found Matt's Channel first which led me to Fab Rats, Trail Mater, Casey LaDelle, and now BSF. Great content about Great People. I want to watch all the content from everybody, but there are only so many hours in the day.
I'm glad that BSF made the long trek to the games. They didn't need another squarebody, but a different perspective was welcome.
Awesome! Thank you!
BSF Welding Winner! No welding gear. Field expedient measures taken and a weld made that would have got a broke down vehicle out the woods. That is overcoming adversity and getting the job done. I was impressed. Definitely the Winner, well done Eric.
Great competition. It was like watching a whole class of kids out playing in their SANDBOX!
Eric u and Mara are our favorite UA-cam channel you guys were amazing at the wrecker games and are amazing all the time glad you are getting a lift for your shop God bless and stay safe
I am amazed at what that little wrecker can do! If you broke it you fixed it and kept smiling the whole time...loved it.
You had the nicest looking Isuzu out there. Excellent technique Erik. IMHO yo and Rory stole the show.
Thank you very much!
In true wheeling action ( no one left behind ) Awesome to see everyone coming to get you back in the game. Maybe someday we will get out there to wheel. Love the North East with it's rocks but not so much with it's mud. It still blows my mind at how your trucks will get it done!
Loved that this showed the interaction between competitors, judges and fans! Great camera angle on the back of the wrecker showing the Isuzu!!
Awesome, I thought you had to tap out after the leaf spring bolt broke!!!!! I am so glad you fixed it and were back on the trail!!!!!
Thanks 👍
All the competitors helped out when Eric needed it. A class act by all of you!!
So glad you guys came to Utah!
Considering the environment you put the truck through it was impressive. Definitely not built for the rocks. It showed us your ability & knowledge behind the wheel. Trail fixes happen to everyone, but the answer was the best a broken bolt is a 10 min job & a couple bucks as opposed to a couple hundred & how many hours. Rory has said the same thing about his shackle bolts. Makes me wonder who taught who, or you both had the same teacher. Thanks for taking us along for the adventure.
I'm wondering if Rory picked up that little trick from Eric their first visit out there a year ago (Easter run?)...
you gotta love they way everyone helped out ,The way they supported you Eric and crew to make sure you got through and it was going back to the old times of helping your fellow man ,All the best Glenn from New Zealand
Awesome man! Looks like it was a blast. Hopefully you got a few bucks left from the birdhouse to help get the ol girl back in action. Knew she'd suffer a little bit but it got the job done. We love seeing what the square body can do while still looking like a square body!
It still amazes me when this old square body on leaf springs front and back performs just as well on trails as those 4 linked monsters,
And then add in the fact that your truck isn’t really rigged up for this style of sand and rocks?
Truly amazing, and always glad to be able to watch you guys giving it your best time and time again
Ole Gmc out there still pullin, and BSF doing a great job driving! Keep up the good work bud!
Thanks! Will do!
My favorite GMC sating

C CRAZY
I’ve watched hours and hours of the wrecker games never gets old thanks for the entertainment and thanks to all of your employers for accommodating time off .
Throttle Watch - Well , Paul Cox , Rory Irish , Matt Wetzel ,and Merlon Johnson are self employed . Only Eric has an employer . I don`t know about all the crew members for all the
teams . For example , I don`t know what "Cameraman Gene" and Chris do .
@@williameddy3740 people had to take time off to attend wrecker games and I myself am thankful for the company I work for to allow me to take the time off I need to do different things. I’m just hoping employers read this and are considerate of time off and not abusers of time off
@@throttlewatch4614 I think that I " rubbed you " the wrong way . Appreciating good employers is always a good thing . Saying , " Thank you." , to those same employers is always a
good thing . Many of the spectators travelled long distances , and did have to take time off . Thank you to those employers who did facilitate that .
A shout out to all those who helped out , whenever a competitor struggled . The crowd pushed Matt backwards when he was operating with no reverse on day
#2. The crowd turned over Paul`s tow car when it rolled over . Rory and Paul helped Eric when his driveshaft came free . Several guys helped Merlon after his
transfer case disintegrated .
I'm from Costa Rica (Central America) I've been following your YT channel for years now, you guys are amazing! I am really happy you did a heck of a job down there! The Wrecker belongs to a whole different environment, but it definitely kept going forward!
I'd love to meet you Eric and your crew some day.
BTW - Rory's Kudos say a lot about you and the experience you got 👌🏻🏆
Being acknowledged as the OG by this crowd shows the Respect the Wheelin' community has for you and your family/crew. Make good use of the Challenger lift Sir, you do deserve it! You all did great at the Games and as Icons of the off road world. Examples for our youth are few and far between but BSF is a terrific example of Humanity and Unconditional Love for our World and what she has to offer if we respect and care for one another.
You all are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
Thank you for your kind words. It really means the world to us.
@@christinasternertalley927 aside from your close loyal fans, there are so many more of us that appreciate GOOD people and your works.
Well said!
Great job guy's. The old truck done well. Love the old square body chevys. Glad challenger gave you a lift for the shop you deserve it. Stay safe and God be with you alway's. Thanks for the video.
Thanks 👍
I'm glad you all had fun out there. I wish I could have made it. I'd say you did extremely well considering your truck is a mud/woodland crawler vs their purpose built rock crawlers.
Will watch whatever you post OG
Old school beast doing work with period Correct modifications.
Awesome footage. I love how Eric's wrecker is set up and handling the rocks. Also I do like how Rory and the others highly respect Eric and his wrecker.
Hats off to you and your team Eric. My vote was for you guys. You folks grabbed that bull by the horns and ran with it. Congrats to you and your team.
Eric, I've watched all the wrecker games videos at this point and to be honest, you had the most impressive performance at the games. Everyone else had purpose built machines and were familiar with the environment where they'd be wheeling. You took a old square-body wrecker on leaf springs and did one of the hardest trails in the area. "Dually impressed". Next year, you need to have everyone come to your neck of the woods for Round 2.....
Looks like a ton of fun. I love your comment about game plan being to make the bottom of the hill, without rolling it. :)
I would love to see all the footage. Although other people hit the highlights, I like watching the old school suspension wrecker articulate over the obstacles. Just something cool about watching.
I would like to see them come up to dresser and get them away from all that traction the are used to.
Eric this was a great video. So glad you guys were part of this wonderful off-road show. You should be very proud. Can't wait for the next part.
That shot out the rear window at 8:45 helps put in perspective how steep some of those obstacles were! Enjoyed the show!
I think yall did a amazing job ,the fact that the wrecker is built for the woods and mud didn't bother it a bit .and we all learned exactly why rory doesn't use a hard bar but even breaking that couldn't stop bsf .ps congrats on the lift what a amazing gesture by challenger.
I hope B.S.F. recovery is super proud. You did amazing for being new to rock crawling in a truck built for very different terrain
Great adventure, will get there next year
Congratulations ! Awesome entertainment you guys all provided through your hard work and effort ! Thank you to all the competitors!
Our pleasure!
Eric your content is always enjoyable -- your wrecker is a great ole rig and I really enjoy your presentation. I wore my hat from Texas for you during the games.
Great job driving Eric! The truck crawled the rocks even though it was not built for that. Very entertaining video, thanks.
I've been watching bsf long before I even heard of those other guys and you were definitely the underdog in this competition and you and your team/ wrecker did very well, good job bsf!!
I had to LAUGH when Robby said to join him in a derby car if you wanted to be scared, compared to Paul and Matt Robby doesn't even show. But then Robby looks terrified drivin a Derby Car, maybe that's what he means, that makes sense, Gotta give you a lot of credit Eric, your truck isn't really built for rockin it's set up for Bush and mud and you still managed to finish CONGRATS
What strikes me about this sport, the guys doing it like working on their rigs as much as operating them. So when a rig breaks, everyone stops and the competition comes to a halt while the guys all work on the broken rig 👏🏻👏🏻
The way you all come together. Amazing. Keep it up.
Thank you! Will do!
Eric, your wrecker is the top of the game by getting out of its element midwest off- roading and showing it’s a top truck still in slick rock country. Yours, Rory's and Merlin's, are the time-tested trucks. Of course, Merlin's is a show stopping vintage metal. Not a hit against Matt's or Paul's. I wish I could have been there.
What i love about your wrecker Eric is it's simplesity leaf spring lift and HD drivetrain. and it's a beast!
Considering the different rigs and the varying skills needed to get them up the same trail you are definitely the 1st winner of this
Wow, thanks!
Eric, you tackle the impossible jobs and they become possible due to your knowledge and expertise. Enjoy watching you do mechanic work in your shop.
Thanks 👍
Your completely out of your normal and still killing it!!! I personally think it shows who is the true king of off road wreckers!!! Can't wait to see more videos on it. And if it's an hour long video I bet it will still be watched all the way thru!!!!
I love your old truck I have a -982 Chevy 3/4 ton with a granny four speed I’m building and your a big inspiration thank you for your amazing videos I wanna get your sticker for the back window too god bless
Wisconsin Squeaky Cheese! Can't bring enough of that! Fun Times, love your we'll catch 'em attitude!
"I didn't even know where I was most of the time" lol
This event was so wholesome. I'm glad to watch the footage in so many different places, because no one was able to capture all of it, there was too much going on!
All the competitors make a big point out of supporting one another's channels, so I think it was by design that none of them even tried to capture everything. That way all the channels get their fair share of viewers.
@@KimonFrousios And I think that's great! Matt's a generous guy and it's obvious that he cares about people and wants to share what he's got with everyone. Giving BSF the credit they deserve, and even a special prize! It's really something special that's going on here.
I’ve been watching you guys for years now, started watching Matt’s off road a few months ago, I’m seriously stoked that y’all got to come together for this event, y’all did great out there!
You done a great job Eric, that rig is better than most, glad you were able to attend, may not have won but looks like yous had a blast, 😂thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Thank you so much it was a great time
Yes it was
I would have used the tow bar to because I'm in Florida towed for 30years and watching yaw was fun and you can teach a old dog new tricks
The best part about the games was you, Eric. You treated it like a real tow. everyone else was there to just drag a rig as hard as they can.. The showing off cost Fab Rats a new fender and headlight for Matt!
To be fair, Rory was also treating it as an everyday tow. Paul and Merlin were the ones who were in full derby mode.
@@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC Didn't see much of Rory's tows but he was a lil easier on things.
wow that last shot diwn the hill was scary looking 😬 you guys did a spectacular job being completly out of you element.🙂
Awesome ! Glad to meet you and you did great .
Love watching you brother, your inspirational beyond words. Keep it up!!!
I appreciate that!
Love the new video! What your wrecker can do with you behind the wheel is amazing. I really appreciate that for most of the games the towing you did with the sling. That takes more skill and in the real world how it would be done to reduce damage to the wrecker as well as the towed vehicle. Awesome to see Rory's respect for you and understanding that your truck is set up for a completely different type of terrain. It sure looked like a great time and can't wait for the next video!!!
So Fun , Thank You . What you did with a Relativly 'Stock' Wrecker , You do have a Small Block Chevy , and yet you have almost the same Hp. I agree with ALMOST Every comment . What I saw Was a group of Friends, Competators Yes , but still working together . There is so much wisdom , Skill , Comaradery , So Thank You.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. I have seen to many, but I am looking forwards to your next video as your taking a different perspective than the others. I hope you make a few shorts, of key highlights. FYI, I was rooting for you the whole time. I feel you were a bit of an underdog, as your wheeling is primarily in the forests of Wisconsin. Your Minnesota neighbor :)
Awesome, thank you!
Keep up the good work Eric!. And props to Rory for coming to aid others and being there when someone needs help while the others just drive by and wish you good luck.
Thanks! Will do!
You totally rocked it!
So glad you were there.
With all of the adversities that y'all had to overcome, we were surprised that you didn't win it all! And the hot dogs were brilliant 😉
I found your channel several years ago and I thought it was awesome you built an offroad wrecker to get broken rigs off the trail then I found out you do it for free which is very cool.
Considering you had one of the heaviest trucks in the games it's very impressive what your able to do with it.
Eric super amazing job considering the
Wreckers not design to rock crawl . We love the channel here in the UK .
Thanks! You guys know how to have some fun.
Our pleasure!
Personally think you guys did awesome. Basically stock square body, only small block, definitely held your own with the rest of the "athletes". Great content edit and present how you see fit.
So happy for you all you did a great job You made it there and back safe everything was good
good times had by all
I'll be watching everything you put out one minute ninety minutes it's all good
