- So I got a project to make the Jeep Banana an even better off-road recovery vehicle. To do that we need to make some room for bigger tires.

Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I’m glad they got on you about the safety glasses
Messing with a grinder is no joke
This comment is understated. As a fabricator I can say I have full face shields to thank for my face not being mangled.
I've had pieces of grinder disc in my arms and legs a few times too. Those things are no joke when the disc decides to disintegrate.
Skin grows back...or at least can be grafted...eyes don't. Oh, and hearing N-E-V-E-R improves with regular loud tool usage. Your viewers truly care about your ability to keep doing what you all do!👍
No guard, no gloves, guarantee this shop takes safety #3 and thinks it's a joke until someone loses an eye
He still doesnt have a guard on his grinder
I cracked up when you handed Trevor that wire harness!
I thought it was an octopus at first. what is that thing? Oh, the wire harness, that makes much more sense....
Me too.
I died 🤣
shit was hilarious
Doesn't everybody want to work on wiring harnesses while they are sick?
Rudy's stoic moment of silence for Trevor and sage advice about not dwelling on things one can't change -- classic. Oscar worthy right there.
That was brilliant giving Trevor that rat nest of a wiring harness after the soup. I actually laughed hard as hell. Was not expecting it.
Moment of silence…
“No need to dwell on things you can’t change.” Rudy
Wise word
You beat me to it. "There's no need to dwell on things you can't change"...........moving on! (That' s Gold)
It’s been a long time since a channel has had us glued to the screen for every video. Thank you so much for sharing your world with us!
Wouldn’t say that.
@@briankennedy931 I would. and they did
good job rudy & crew
Rudy is really maturing into his own TH-cam personality.
I concur. This is beyond excellent content, beyond excellent human content and beyond excellent solutions to a million ways to get over your head while four wheeling or visiting our national parks.
I really like that they’re being sensible and cutting the fenders for more clearance, rather than installing a stupidly huge lift kit. Many, many lifted truck owners could learn something from that.
So what's the current iteration of this? I know its changed recently.
What's the new engine?
Lift?
Tires?
Gears?
The way those harnesses were pinching, Matt and Trevor may not get another “raise “ ever🤣
Or they'll title this the ... Sopranos. I'll show myself out.
Lol I read this before finishing the video and I thought maybe they did some really bad wiring harness routing.
That looked dangerous, I hope that was before you ate that burger ;)
There should be a "Rudy's Random Thoughts" segment in every video...love it.
"I got my raise and it feels amazing!"
"Matt...OSHA calling on line three."
Safety fifth!
@@8draco8 that’s a few steps before it is around here lol
I discovered this channel a couple months ago and got hooked. After binge watching all 68 hours, 41 minutes, and 17 seconds of videos, I am finally caught up! (Yes, it took forever to add all that up lol).
thats dedication to a channel, all for one comment. respect
@@elastiq1704 haha thanks!
I found this channel maybe four to six months ago, I'm working my way through these old videos. I have a long way to go.
@@bigredc222 its worth the watch for sure!
I still do not understand who gives a thumbs down to these videos ???? Unhappy with life? Failures? Ex girlfriends? Jealous u-tubers? Scrooges? ( in the wisdom of Rudy "don't dwell on things we cannot change") LOL
Casey's off-road followers
Thanks for the laughs. This channel has it all: making stuff, pulling vehicles w slicks-like tires out of mud and sand w the mighty roaring Morrvair, some burnt fingers and a lot of warm humor. Looking forward to every episode
Looks like the banana is finally getting its raise too lol
And get some no ox paste on them link nuts
It gets any taller it will fall over hitting a speed bump.
@@B.Colby107
Working on boats in the ocean I'm a big fan of De ox. I use it on every electrical connection. Grease on bolts in steel. Anti seize on bolts in aluminum or stainless. High temp on exhaust bolts.
Way to go giving Trevor the "spaghetti" to work on.
Lol
Trevor and Rudy's interactions are priceless! Reminds me so much of me and my buddies in high school Auto Shop class messing with each other and letting the sarcasm flow. I swear, Hurricane, UT is in a time warp back to 1986, when folks were honest, genuine, hard-working, moral, and generally fun to be around.
small town vibes
Crazy I just commented that Matt reminds me of the Dude, i scroll down and see your pfp lol
Yes, I remember 1986. I think we had fewer of those virtues then than we do now.
@@allmorrisvideos Exactly. People romanticize previous decades for some reason. I don't know why anyone thinks the '80s (or any other decade) was more virtuous than the present.
@@brent4adv we did have the best rock bands hands down, so there's that.
Father and son work very good together. We need more of that.
When you visited Trevor and handed him bunch of Bananas cables.... hilarious !! 👍😂
Thanks for wearing the safety glasses Rudy! Hope to have you healthy and whole for many years to come!
Trevor drops obscure Mash reference … Lizzy continues to feel awkward.
Keep it up Trevor! Glad you’re feeling better.
He had a great "Let's Get Physical" by Olivia Newton-John reference a few weeks ago when Lizzy was pretending to lift weights. I had to tip my hat to him on that 40-year-old reference.
@@davidc6032 Trevor doesn`t seem old enough to have some of the musical references that he does have.
I'm glad someone else caught the M.A.S.H. reference!
"Quiet on set, Lady!" Priceless. My favorite thing about visiting Matt and the crew was getting to pet Lady and Max. You can tell a lot about a person from their dogs, and Lady and Max were both sweet and laid back.
“We’re going to go check on Trevor and get lunch. We’re pretty excited about lunch.”
Sick burn! 😂😂😂
I heard that too!
Hahaha “matt has listened. And today, I’m getting my raise!” -Trevor 😂😂😂
I can't wait to see the improved Super Banana start earning it's keep. Between the Morrvair, the Super Banana, the snow cat, and whatever project those tires you teased are going on, I think you're going to be ready for most anything, anyone can get stuck, just about anywhere!
Thanks for the "behind the scenes" look.
Everyone at Matt's recovery thank you so much for the video watching all the way from Spain really appreciated God bless each and everyone of you as well as your family and your friends peace out guys
I hardly ever wore safety glasses until a few months ago. After 30 years I got a piece in my eye and couldn't get it out, even ran a magnet across my eye. To the doctor I went.
What " seams" to be the problem? Trevor, you are hilarious. Love watching you and all the others. 😊
So much to be impressed with... Rudy knocking out those old wheel wells & Progresso Soup healing Trevor, to RAISES! 💛
I love it how matt can throw together his own 4 link suspension with not slot of measuring and it still comes out great and a beast off road.. you can tell he's built quite a few off road rigs
Favorite part of Sunday!
Rudy needs more random tool placement. Even if the tools are not related to the current job at hand.
I think that's just the way they do it🤣 glad to see she's wearing the safety goggles like people recommended. Lucky he has people out there that love them so much
Was a little nervous when Rudy was swinging that hammer at the Banana 😬😜 And hilarious seeing y’all enjoy the “raise” 🤣 Excited to learn more about the secret project!!! ❤️🐞
Trevor making some obscure references over here! I grew up watchin her on M.A.S.H. reruns right before school.
Trevor is getting to be more and more fun to watch!! 😁 Hope he does get his raise, without being lifted off the ground this time! 😁
Seat of your pants fabrication, with by eye measuring and alignment ... looks perfect to me!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
You guys are awesome for checking on Trevor. Good boss and good friends
You could just tape a quarter under each boot = $0.50 raise. Lol
Great video, Trevor you’re awesome.
Glad Trevor enjoyed his Raise..... It was a long time coming 😜
we need 2 episodes of the banana a week!
I would 👍 this several times if TH-cam would let me. 2 or 3 or 6 per week would be great 😀
Matt is the type of guy that everyone wants as a boss, he cares so much about his team, wouldn’t even call them workers. It’s awesome to see 😎
I see those Michelin tires and I'm thinking bobbed deuce with a engine/trans swap... Then again, the bobbed deuce also makes the perfect platform for a cab swap too! I almost picked up a deuce and a half last spring to swap another body onto it after bobbing the frame.
Either way you go, you'll pay for most of the build with the crazy number of views from the build. I can't wait!
I smell a wrecker, Mayhaps?
Hey Matt & crew,
You all do some amazing work !
Well sorta.
The Banana is going to look like a whole new vehicle and should make you proud.
This is about the greatest crew I have ever seen working on vehicles.
Shenanigans, Jocularity, General Silliness and get er done attitude all working together, make for a fine place to work and a fun video for us to enjoy.
Thanx
Thank you for wearing glasses. I know too well why we harp so hard on eye pro. I got a steel sliver in my eye from grinding a few years ago. Was close to doing permanent damage, would hate to see that happen to someone else when it's easily avoidable.
What great raises!! You guys are making such progress on the Banana. Excellent work Rudy!
What a ending!
Toothbrushes!
Priceless!! 👍👍
I doubt Lizzy got the MASH reference.
Love how you all went and got Trevor some comfort food XD
And a wiring harness!
@@paintedblue1791 That too :P
“saw Matt drinkin' a bottled water at the Off-road Shop…
And his hair was perfect”
Love the M*A*S*H reference. Thanks for that Trevor!
Nice to see lizzy driving the morvair
Giving Trevor the wiring harness was epic LMMFAO
I wish I worked for a Company that would bring me food when I was sick. You guys ROCK!!!
Good advice Rudy, "we don't need to dwell on things we cannot change".👍
I love the progression of this channel 😂 it’s like a family vlog
Great way to wake up on a Sunday! Thanks Matt, Rudy, and Crew… keep them coming
The underhood graphics are honestly 🔥🔥🔥
I lost it when you guys handed Trevor the wiring harness!! LOL! Truthfully though I always want to be busy myself when I'm sick.
Love you guys and love seeing the channel grow and progress! I have been watching since the very beginning. Getting to see the different builds is awesome and I love the ingenuity of the MORRvair!
For those that don't know, wearing gloves while using a rotating tool is a serious safety problem. The grinder can pull gloves into the rotating grind wheel. I wound up taking a coworker to ER because he wore gloves while putting wood on a gang saw, and seriously cut his hand. For those that know OSHA rules, this is a big NoNo.
Cause hoisting people up with a tow truck winch isn't an OSHA "no-no"
Totally agree. One of my coworkers LOST 3 fingers due to wearing gloves while operating a 16 inch jointer.
He turned them into chips and sent them into the dust collector.
@@matthewwetzel6941 they weren't doing any work with the winch, and were in total control while playing around with it.
I've done work that requires full fall protection, so I know the right way to do things.
If you actually knew OSHA rules, you would know that while you don't wear gloves around stationary rotating equipment such as drill presses and bench grinders, OSHA requires leather gloves when using portable grinders. I have worked metal fabrication and structural installs on Navy ships for 40 years. I am well versed in OSHA and Navosh regulations.
A grinder wheel doesn't pull in anything anywhere because it has nothing to grab a piece of clothe... no teeth, edges or anything. But a grinder wheel to the skin definitely grinds and burns your skin
We are so excited to see "Trevor finally got his RAISE"!!!!!!! yaay clap-clap-clap-clapping loudly !!!! ;)))))
I think it's great that you're building such a car, which probably leaves most high tec SUVs standing. And all without much electronics. Ingenious.
Well there’s the title of the shop “Just Wing It Fabrication” with the Red tailed hawk as the mascot logo
Laughed my ass off when you handed Trevor the loom 😂
I like when Rudy says "I'm not messin' around anymore". Get to work and make it happen!!!
We love your off road recovering. And the rebuilds. We live in Alaska n every time we get in sand. We say let’s call Matt. I guess you don’t service Alaska. Lol. But we really have got good ideas from you all on how to get unstuck. 😀👍
The “using random things as a bending jig” is cool, but I prefer the KNC, also know as the KneeNC or knee bender
All that was missing was Matt & Trevor saying "Look Ma, I can fly!"
I'm predicting a 1.5 million subs before the years up. Just a great channel. When it's released, I click and enjoy this with my coffee. Glad Trevor is back up and running. Always great to see Lizzy as well lol.
I love how "on the fly" all the work on the banana is. Just working out the problems as you go.
So Trevor comes back to work early after being sick and then gets dangled in the air by a makeshift engine hoist just for our entertainment? Give that man another raise!
I cant wait to see how this thing turns out!
That harness really accentuates the dadbod! 😆
Trevor and Matt showed a lot of "Guts" getting into the air!
Ok. Two things from the peanut gallery:
For God's sake - In "honor" o,f Trevor, not "memory". We love Trevor.🤣
It is such a pleasure to watch a young person like Rudy with skills and a work ethic - speaks volumes about those "before him".
Your videos just make me feel good. Thank you.
"... Rudy is just going to get after it..."
"Get after it!" I'm sorry, I didn't know this was a FabRats collab!
Pretty common phrase here in Southern Utah
@@stolman2197 No kiddin...? I'm sure they must have said it before then, but I can ONLY hear it in Paul's voice.
The way you cut your fenders/body for more clearance is brilliant. I might have to steal/duplicate that idea for a build.
As an ironworker, Rudy, I'd recommend you wear ear protection and gloves as well. I was using a cutoff wheel once, and the wheel bound up. The whole grinder jumped, skittered across my arm, and flew into the dirt. Luckily, I only had a few surface scratches on my glove and wrist, but it could've been much worse. Stay safe!
So it’s almost midnight here down under and time to sleep - but no, MORR shoots a new vid at me - well better watch it and sleep another time……
No way. Those tires are commercial size. And wow this is the first time I've heard someone got sick and it wasn't covid.
They blame everything on covid.
You saw the diff? He's building a single drive 5 ton I bet.
Handing off the wiring harness was HILARIOUS!!
One of the best youtube channels! Watching the videos with my coffee in the morning, i call it my Morning Recovery!
Can we assume that Rudy is getting the banana? He will not need to beat up his Jeep on jobs.
Or just another shop jeep. I mean, we've had episodes where it's lizzy and the cameraman pulling people out lol.
Yeah, that's kinda the impression I was getting. Matt seems to be less "hands on" with this build than he was with the MORRVAIR. Maybe Rudy will pass his Jeep to Lizzie and they will build that one up next?
@@snoozeflu I got the impression that the Morrvair build was more of the culmination of a distant dream that danced around in the back of Matt's mind since he first laid eyes on that wagon. I suspect it was everything he'd dreamed it would be!
@@arizonapapa9453 Lizzy never leaves Rudy's side lately and that other girl hasn't been around in a long time...
@@drags666 I think Lizzy's an exceptional young lady, she's catching on fast!
We're gonna get Trevor something to help him feel better.....knock knock....hands him spaghetti mess wiring harness😆
Good call with the glasses. I have had many friends visiting an eye doctor to get metal pieces out. No permanent damage fortunately.
The crew being lifted by the hook truck, great time for a fan to roll into the yard for a visit! Haha
Christmas parade, Lizzy with angel wings and harp flying from the back of a wrecker.
This sounds like she lost a bet! ROFL
Bought time Trevor! LOL
At the beginning when we saw the B I G tires I thought what is Matt doing to that banana?!? Looking forward to seeing and watching the rebuild and to seeing what beast those big tires will go on. Your content is great and your crew is amazing-each adding to the personality that is MORR. A 10 star channel. Thank you for taking us along on extreme recoveries and those daily stuck in the mud/sand/snow messes that people get into. I know they are all so grateful when a yellow recovery vehicle pulls up.
I was sure he was going to use the cutting torch from the very start, but I suppose it's always good to know exactly what's behind your cut before you do that. Glad to see he ended up using it though. Then the explanation about VW guys knowing, I was just thinking he was going to use an English Roller of some sort. That was perfect acknowledgement of the third wall for Rudy. Pretty sure Matt is conscious of eye safety, just hope he keeps his vision as long as possible. 7:19 I have not gone through this thread but I am so glad you self checked out. 1. You don't have anyone else touching your stuff. 2. They can hire people to do the other work. 3. No job or skill last for ever, ask any whip manufacturer, buggy wheel designer, or street corner newspaper salesman (let alone newspaper). Every time Matt used a hammer on the wrench to get it to move I was expecting him to extend a pipe on the end but because of all the locktite and corrosion perhaps hammering might have been a good choice. Just call me a killjoy. Seen some pretty scary situations in my life one involved using straps just like y'all did. Stay Safe!
I imagine it's a real pain in the balls to use ear protection when trying to shoot a video or be efficient in your modding work, but I really don't wish my tinnitus on you guys. I have to use ear protection now just to use a vacuum cleaner to prevent a blast of extra ringing on top of the constant stuff.
If there's a way to make regular ear protection viable in the shop, I hope you guys will keep searching for it.
You can still hear people talk when using hearing protection. The camera operator could always use earmuffs and in-canal headphones connected to the camera. I do it all the time when grinding and listing to music out in the garage.
I hope they at least use the foam inserts for hearing protection soon. My mother had constant ringing in her years for the last 34 years of her life. Nothing will take the joy out of a day than that, eventually she had to wear a hearing aid but still had the ringing. Damaged cilia in her ears, something you would wish on anyone.
Please do wear some kind of ear protection.
The tinnitus is not fun.
_Up at eight, you can't be late_
_For Matthew & Son, he won't wait._
Matt is so funny when he's studying something! With the left hand on his hip and his belly pouched out.
You guys are just the right thing for my Saturday. I work in a 4x4 shop and really like your perspective because we work on 2019 and newer stuff. I like watching you guys fight the old stuff, it makes me appreciate my work.
Y'all flying like Peter Pan! You guys crack me up!
I grind with grinders. Saw with a saw. I worked with a guy with a gnarly scar down his face from a 7 inch grinder wheel coming apart. He was cutting sheet metal. It's ok until you try to go around an arc.
Rudy deserves his own channel......There I said It🙋♂️
That turned out pretty good but those big tires you had there for that big military truck you guys were looking at that'll be your new toy can't wait. 👍👍😀🇨🇦
Trevor has a Japanese house, never would have imagined.
Brad's Food Hut! Yummy!
U guys crack me up, cant wait to see banana completed 👍🇺🇸
Didn’t have the time to watch a whole video, but you guys have such a positive attitude, that I always find it worthwhile to watch at least a few minutes of you talking/working/joking:)
