Matt’s Off Road Recovery Wikitubia Fandom

Posted on Posted in Sober living

Matt met Katelynn and her dad through the rock bouncing competitions that they participate in. While there is much controversy over Matt calling it the World’s Largest, Matt defends his position by emphasizing the type of terrain it can handle. The Heavy Wrecker, on the other hand, has no problem with difficult buggy trails, and in some cases is more capable than a Jeep. Matt owns and uses the Morrvair as a recovery vehicle on Matt’s Off Road Recovery. Matt restored it completely on the channel, and Robby Layton painted it. The Morrvair was named for the fact that it is a Corvair on MORR (acronym for the channel name).

Matt

When something gets done behind the scenes, Jefe likely has something to do with it. He is responsible for accounts, budget, websites, crew organization and rosters, human resources, marketing, and asset/property management. In addition, Jefe is Matt’s second-in-command and a member of the B-team along with Matt’s son Rhett. Consequently, the crew calls him Jefe – which means “boss” in Spanish. Jefe always creates a well-rounded plan before executing on it, and works very methodically, in contrast to Matt’s more impetuous approach. Ed uses the Golden Nugget, a 1970s Suzuki LJ40, to run his errands and pick up supplies.

The Rudicon played a major role in recoveries on Matt’s Off Road Recovery before Rudy started upgrading it. The Heavy Wrecker is a custom-built off road recovery rig with the cab from a 1956 International Harvester R220 fire truck. A playlist on Matt’s Off Road Recovery contains all the build videos for the Heavy Wrecker since the beginning. Matt built it to replace his Jeep-and-trailer setup for recovering side-by-sides in the sand dunes, as well as for more heavy-duty pulls.

Ed works at his claim every Fall, and is absent from the channel for long periods of time as a result. Randy is a former employee and camera man of Matt’s Off Road Recovery.

When he returned, he helped out with wiring and electrical fabrication in addition to swinging the camera. In early 2023, Lizzy announced that she was going to part-time so she could spend more time with her husband and help out on his family’s ranch in Kane County, Utah. She ultimately left on the best of terms in July, because her passion lies in ranching and not in vehicle fabrication. No doubt her welding skills will be of advantage to her in the future. Matt’s family and Lizzy’s family have known each other for multiple generations, practically making Matt an uncle to her.
