- This video will show you the good, the bad, and the UGLY part of rolling a this expensive piece of equipment down the hill. These Fat Trucks are extremely capable and fun but everything has a limit. Luckily we have some friends to help us get things sorted out. Alan and Diesel Dave from @SparksMotorsCo come to help us get the fat truck back on its feet and off the mountain.

Huge thanks to@SparksMotorsCo and @mtnfortresslabs for the extra man power we needed to get this thing off the hill and back home safe and sound.

I knew from the thumbnail that this was going to be a good episode!
I say it almost every time, but your videos are getting better and better each week 😁👍
Kole, you said I could have a hoodie when your merch was rolled out, but can I come and have a drive in a Fat Truck instead??
I promise not to flip it 😂
We don't get weather like this in the UK, we've not had proper snow for decades 😢
Very sad that Aaron who wrecked the Fat Truck and caused all this to happen had to blame someone in the shop on camera for not tightening a bolt on a unfinished project that was rushed into service because of him flipping the Fat Truck, and then using the 6500HD before it was even finished and checked over before use. The 6500HD sure did look like a beast on that mountain! Glad no one was hurt but calling out the a guy in the shop was low class.
It wasn't a guy in the shop, it was a potential new hire that over sold his capabilities. I'll coach and bring up eager young tradesmen to be the best they can be, and I've found throughout that process I have found that I continue learning and growing. The work this gentleman did was weeks before the rush to get the 6500 up the hill. The difference between an off-road accident and a blatant lack of care towards a trade that someone claims to have mastered is vast. I trusted the man at his word as I do as default, this could be viewed as my fault. I roll, crash, and break things all the time. I find limits of myself, toys and equipment. Could you imagine a guy showing up to work on elevators with some fake credentials and having a near miss accident? It would be viewed as criminal by the majority. In the custom fabrication industry, we don't have the luxury of having any merit system that I can trust to reflect a tradesman's ability. Call it low class but I take my work way more serious than I take my play time. There are times I'll make mistakes in the shop too; I own them and expect my peers to not just let it slide. This is called accountability and I feel it's one of the most important qualities that I've seen lacking amongst tradesman lately.
Yes I agree. It's not very professional as a business owner to blame your workers, as it reflects on the business as a whole.
Would you rather him lie about it?
That's just not knowing how to lead people as a boss. He's the idiot that wrecked the fake sherp copy
But sometimes ya just gotta learn.
If you look closely, when the Fat Truck was airborn it was coming down nose heavy and Aaron must of panicked and got off the joy stick which stopped the drive and locked up the front wheels, causing the thing to ass- over-front flip it.
Yep. Exactly.
Aaron caused all this then blames someone else for a bolt on a project he rushed out the shop before it was ready, real class act
Glad everything went as well as it could and no one got hurt.
It's now evident why it's called a Fat Truck. You're going to need a Fat Wallet to own and operate one. I was waiting for Matt to roll up on the scene and critique the recovery. 😊
Rolls over on flat ground>>>The perfect off road vehicle for the mountains. derp
Wait until you see the footage next week. We were pulling everything out of the snow at the snowed in series with Heavy D
I will watch and see>>That thing has a longer wheel base than the sherp and it still falls on its face. Good for swamps and level ground like Florida. You could not pay me to drive 1 in the mountains in Alaska were i live. Now in a muskeg swamp moose hunting than ya>>in the hills count me out. And 200k fk that i can get an IMP for 15k i could have a fleet of track vehicles for 200K >a ww2 m29weasel can go for 1500$ nun of which will faceplant on flat ground. That thing would not go 1 mile on 50% of the trails up here and if you did you would be a smoking heap at the bottom right next to the pile of jeeps, bronco2s and 3wheelers The hills up here have body counts.@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS
It pulled an overland lambo and a Porsche GT3 up the mountain
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS Ha ha The POS was getting pulled out by the snowcat.
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORSreal low class to blame someone on your shop like that. You don’t have what it takes to be a leader.
Thanks for sharing, Heavy D mentioned that you guys were entertaining. Glad nobody got seriously hurt. 👍🤠
The video clearly shows the wheels stopping at a critical moment and staying locked throughout, not spinning(as claimed "full joystick").
Full dipstick
Based on this fact, alone, it looks like the only thing the fat truck needs is a driver mod.
This is 100% correct. Me being an ignorant careless operator, I returned the joystick to center when the truck was air borne heading down the lip at which point it applies a parking brake. When I went full joystick it did not respond because I didn't hit the button to release the automatic brake. It was my fault for lifting off the stick to begin with. The fat truck is ridiculously capable, I just suck at driving it.
@@Aaron-JackknifeMotors then its even worse. Then its both- you careless/inexperienced with given rig, and the rig itself has design flaws, as no rig should go into parking and block all its wheels in the middle of driving- especially in that brief moment while being in the middle of the flight(no matter what you do unless you do it intentionally). I thought it was more like short gear/gearbox braking in absence of acceleration or brake pedal in panic.
Haven't you guys ever heard about tire chains?? They are wonderful in the snow!!
100% we would have put those on if we had them with us that night. The Het unfortunately doesn’t have a set of chains.
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORSyou were there for 4 nights. And didn’t even show is the recovery. Just the failure. Lemme guess you didn’t recover it yourselves.
Glad everyone made it off the mountain ok. Sure was a couple of long days for you guys.
Yeah it put us a little behind schedule. Glad everyone is ok and we got the equipment off the hill without anything catastrophic happening
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORSyou got lucky. Don’t blame others if you want your channel to grow.
Glad nobody was injured! Gotta say though…..it does take some courage, to go through all of that, film what went wrong, and then post it to YT.
Not going to lie. I considered not posting this.
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS I think you did the right thing
I agree! This video made my day!
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS If you buy a BLACK HALK use it!
Living in this area I can attest that these mountains are not the best place to be when a snow storm is coming in especially in a rollback with a big machine on it.
Keep up the tough stuff. Love the real situations and how to deal with things when they go wrong.
00:45 "Literally cannot gt them stuck".....And the title says otherwise LMAO!
I really like this episode as it show everything that can go wrong and how you guys fixed it andlea4ned as you go
From bad to worse. This is the most realistic off road recovery videos I have seen. Glad everyone was okay. Thanks for sharing your fails, it helps me to have realistic expectations when i try to do this kind of dumb shit.
Great video fellas. I'm glad no one was seriously hurt, and I appreciate the reminder that I HATE snow! 😂
great job fellas, jackknife jimbo and his team can do a great series of recovery videos, and i guess you SHOULD do that. also this video spoke volume that you guys are related to heavyD 😂😂
So happy that Aaron was not injured and everyone is safe and back home. This is one of the best video's you guy's have done. I just wish it wasn't so costly and scary for you guy's. Love watching you guy's having fun just stay safe and keep up the great work. Thanks for the video.
It's the small things in life that gives you the best content.. Was a journey to follow your fat testing adventures 🙂
Fat testing all day! Haha
Good to see that no one was injured. The operator could use some training...
Of course. Driver error
That was tough a lot of work good job 👏 fellas 😊
These are so cool
I like the enclosed body for the camping aspect
I love your videos, keep them coming
You said sky is the limit Big D!!
Take each bus to the sky and drop from them the ground and impact shall be a show in itself!! Also how cool and first of its kind stunt. Put a bullseye down and whoever wins of the crew. Gets a week getaway from manual labor and eat like a boss on your dime. lol
Good luck and have fun!!!
I like the idea
i CANT BELIEVE YOU TRIED TO START IT FULL OF OIL IN THE CYLINDERS!
Wow... very entertaining, everyone seemed to work together. MR Negative should have stayed in shop !!!
All good! 😊
Damn it sucks that you rolled and damaged the fat truck but it's just amazing that he was wearing his belt and that he didn't have any serious injuries apart from maybe a headache!
It was a great video see you next video 😁
Got alot of respect from me showing the bad days instead of filtering only the good days. Try Running some ballast in the rear of the fat truck so its not front heavy ? Keep it better planted . Hopefully the motor didnt lock up from oil loss on the crank bearings when being upside down. The 6500 looks slick with the headache rack , definately brought it all together.
Rolled over forward because it's too light in the rear which a sherp or Polaris doesn't have to worry about
Thanks for watching! I’ve always thought you gotta show the good, the bad and the ugly.
Hell yeah!! This should be a great video🤙
Hope you like it!
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS that was a very intense video guys!! Almost like a SMCO recovery video I love it! Glad everyone is safe can’t wait for next video!!
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS this should have lots of views, Danger, drama, recovery, Allen, cool trucks. ❤❤❤
whoever does your video editing with the music is right on man great content
Omg what a night mare ! Great show guys ! From a new subscriber
The fat truck must have been engineered in Disneyland along with the 737 Max! Donald, Mickey, and Goofy at work again!
No... just a Sherpa knockoff.
wow god bless you all that no one was hurt and you found out what not to do with the fat truck before you went up on the mountain will watch you all later to see what else happened be safe god bless
Thanks for watching!!
Oh boy Kole remember you need to supervise this bunch. lol so glad everyone’s OK, everything else can be fixed. But I’m pretty sure he was shocked that it rolled over..😂😂😂👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah I gotta keep an eye on these guys for sure! Thanks for watching Lisa!
Great R&D testing! Now engineers know. Good job 2all. Sparks dust off...priceless! Bsafe 🥶🐲
That was priceless!
Those are so cool. Do they make a plow that you can attach to the front for pushing snow? I would love to see how that would work out since I have a long driveway and that would be perfect for taking it hunting and camping in the mountains. I would get rid of my side by side and get one f it plows snow.
I appreciate the video
Thanks for watching!
lol love these guys
I'd say that Fat Truck has some serious design issues.
Can't spin the front tires up fast enough to prevent a front rollover is a major design flaw.
No auto shutdown when inverted is dumb.
No way to disconnect the drive line so it can the tires can is so thoughtless is defies belief.
Glad you guys are safe, and made it off the mountain. Just imagine this had happened some place really remote, you would have had to wait for spring (assuming it would even come).
One little promo vid turn to a nightmare for you guys. Hey I enjoyed it though. Glad Aaron is safe and the vehicles were recovered.
I'd give it an A for style and A+ for accidental creativity. 😁😜🤟
Unfinished truck already proving itself!
What an adventure!
Thanks for watching Skeeter!!
Great vid! Bit of a let down at the end not filming the end but wow that was intense
Thanks for the demo I will not be getting me 1 ofe them now
The original sherpa is better/safer, probably cheaper.
Recover the recovery to get recovered and do it all again...wow...looked fun for a minute or two. Then just Intense
It was a little bit of both! Thanks for watching
Looked just like the bronco flip from cople years back
Definitely properly built according to that rollover. Those things are pretty cool and with testing like that, fixes should be easy for weight. Does the CAI use exhaust? Some redundant way should be built-in. Fatter tires would have helped loading. Can't imagine if they had been lower.
I could be wrong but i think the rubber side down.😂😂
How does the HETT not have locking diffs!?
I believe it does, I was surprised no one locked them in
Thinking it was already at near full speed so there wasn't much more to give. also might have sucked air at the pickup so very quickly the pumps weren't pushing fluid to the drives. Causing them to stop suddenly. Especially if the motors have brakes that are hydraulicly released.
Great job getting it down on the 6500. Maybe next time u can try to let out the air on all the tires, that may help with being so tippy 🤷♂️
“I’m having a hard time understanding what happened” 😂
The Tip-over point is not a problem in judging in modern 4WD because the Bronco has front and rear cameras.
Airbags would be the best recovery tool to upright that big tire buggy.
Yep. Like the boat lifters.
@@PD-we8vf Just put a exoskeleton roll bar and recover it from the cage or a super beefy roof rack and a bunge cord tarp coving the roof rack so you don't get any leaks in your roof. It needs a roof fan anyways so might as well. Are you going to drown in that thing if it tips in the water?
@@shoutingatclouds1050 good point. The sherp has a rear door for cargo and a second escape. This design is more dangerous.
6500 looked good, rear steering axle would be nice along with on board air inflation/Deflation system.
Also side winches in the sexy Quantum angularity headache rack.
Or if they just brought a battery operated inflator. Or lowered the air on the other side to even it out.
Try filling the tires half way up to the axles with water or antifreeze, it'll be heavy but it'll lower your center of gravity immensely. Old tractor trick.
Hey, your law of average is you are going to have trouble! It does make for a good video, even though it is a lot of trouble!
Amusing how often the coats y'all are wearing kept changing. LOL I've watched this like 4 times now. Turned the CC on so I could "hear" all that was being said. Nasty conditions out there, I certainly wouldn't have enjoyed that. I didn't understand the need for the commenters to be ragging on Aaron. You can imagine how stressed he was. This video showed how easily sh*t happens. Good video everyone!
Thanks for watching! We have all made unfortunate mistakes. It was nice for Aaron on this one he built it back better! Haha
Sounds like hydrostatic drive, and probably why those 4cylinder engines are plenty.
Guessing the starting issue had something to do with the hydraulic system tripping a fault sensor.
They have plenty of power
All the drama could have been prevented by using tire chains.😅❤. Better than network tv .
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
The video tells the story. Obviously, the tires stopped moving forward and the momentum flipped it. It doesn't matter what you say. Your joystick full-forward comment is wrong. You panicked and didn't think the camera would have picked it up.
It looked like the Fat truck did a jump and kicked the rear into the air, then there wasn't enough front wheel speed on the landing to keep it from going over. Because it landed on a downhill, it basically did a stoppie. Glad everyone is ok.
Wonder if the sherp with wagon body shape has the same issue, they've been around for a long time and haven't seen one of them on the roof
You dont need to be rocket scientists to that it come to nosedive, its way to light at back.
And wintertyres or chain is a genius thing used when the track us with.
Luckily everyone survived and nothing else then someone's proud was hurt 🤗
Turns out when a vehicle looks like the little flipping rc cars we all had as kids it tends to do similar things
When he landed on those front wheels, they was not turning fast enough caused him to flip.
What a mess 😳🫣 I‘m really sorry for all the mess you created for us viewers so that we can enjoy this new episode while sitting in my warm house and on my very enjoyable couch 🙏
🥴😉
Would be awesome if someone would have a helicopter to fly the Fat Truck down to town. If these were the correct numbers a Fat Truck weighs about 4.900lbs (2.222kgs) to 5.400lbs (2.443kgs).
Thanks for this adventure episode, best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋
After watching the majority of this video, i think it's time for redesign of the fat truck.
Did you watch the rest? Just wondering
Glad you were not injured Aaron, but I will have to say that vehicle is super unstable being that high off the ground. I guess for all of its benefits there has to be some drawbacks.
Do these come with different seating, configurations, or any type of shell to put over the rear?
We are going to be doing some modifications to this. Possibly some sort of shell or cage…. But they do have other models with more seating. We wanted one with a truck bed to start.
Cletus knows all about needing some weights on the rear.
You guys in the USA have the koolest toys. Was all going good till it wasn't. Good no one got hurt
They are pretty cool and seem to be very sturdy.
Unfortunately we will never see anything like that here in Australia
Definitely envious of you guys
And the area looks amazing we definitely do t get snow like that here
Keep the awesome content coming 👍
I watched all that just to be totally let down in the end because it wasn't filmed!!! Thanks alot!!! ✌🐢
A+ today boys!
Also luckily it didn't slip and fall because it would've took that Jeep winched to it with it ! 😱 Pitty you'z didn't film it. I'm all intrigued now. You left me (and the truck) hangin'.
Trust me that counts as stuck!🤣 Look if you gotta use a HET to get you moving again you're stuck!💯🤣🤣
That’s a great sales move because you can’t get a better view of the underside of that bad Larry. Beefy!
One reason I hate using lift blocks. Easy to mess up vs using rearched springs to get the lift. Hope the person who installed them wrong learned something, lol.
It's got the center of gravity of a pregnant giraffe 🦒🦒
4:28 was some foreshadowing actually held up good for flopping on its lid 😂
I'M NO TOW EXPERT, but I'd think flipping it sideways back over would decrease damage using the rubber of wheels as a buffer and also needing least effort.
Being you chose to pull it normally, atleast flip it rear end over cab, not cab over rear end like you did. Not only will that require the most energy but more likely to drag a little before flipping.
AND You Wanted To Get Stuck. Shit you got all the info you wanted, What A night Glad Ur Good
Baddass tow Ram 👍🇺🇸💪🏻💪🏻
Be safe
Imagine someone was in a jam when they went back to the shop and whoever installed the parts that failed
U can absolutely see in the video u let off when the rear came up. It would have pulled out if u would have stayed wide open.
He basically went too fast over a sharp bump causing the rear tires to fly up into to air. Then he panicked and either released the joystick or even slightly pulling it backwards causing it to decelerate quickly with all the weight on the front axle. The way a sherp and this copy of a sherp are designed with the center of the axle near the bumpers and a high center of gravity caused the front axle to become the fulcrum point and roll easily while torque was being applied in the opposite direction on the front axle. Nothing is idiot proof no matter how capable it may be, somebody will always find a way. To top it off, he blames somebody else for an unfinished truck rushing out of the shop and not having it sqaured away so it could save him from his own f***k up😂😂
It is not very good for the new machine to have so much damage on a rollover. The jump was not even high. I can't imagine driving down a back road and hitting a snow drift and rolling over on a back road. It needs a design modification so it can be rolled on its tires quickly and for all the oil and fluids not to spread.😮Glad you are ok though. Very scarey ride out.
We will be making some changes to this one. Luckily we were able to get it off the hill and work on it in the shop.
sometimes you eat the Bear and sometimes the Bear eats you. tomorrow is another day . keep on keeping on.
My first thought was a turtle on its back.
does the HET not have locked axles?
Curious as to why you didn’t deflate the tyres on the Fat truck to lower its centre of gravity?
These things are very cool but I would think unless they're half the price of a Sherp you might as well have a full cab and be able to get more people in it And keep your gear high and dry.
Happy no one got hurt. But you can clearly see what happened. He got scared and hit the brake as he was going down the hill & that is why he went over. Next time, if you decide to do it again, drive out of it. But luckily no one was hurt.
"messing around, trying to cause problems"
Guy in the red jacked Said what they were doing.
They pushed it too far. Thats what you get when your pushing.
JIMBO!!
Excitement - Stuck - Yes - Broke - well, you don't have fun if something doesn't break.
maybe a bit too much air in those tires on the flip forward? :)
Who else flinched when the oil flew out lol
I got some in the face haha
We use tire chains a lot wonder if they would have helped getting down.
For sure tire chains would be the way to go
