Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
The only thing I can think of that makes the Corvair better than it performed is the fact you built that with your Son. Outstanding!!
Wait. Rudy is Matt’s son??
@@dipsylogic1715 yes he is
No way, I thought they were brothers this entire time!
I thought it some young kid who worked for him🤣
@@elchucofried5683 same here 😂
MATT’s little dance after the hot tub obstacle, made the whole video worth it.
Matt : "I don't think i want to do this"
Rudy: "oh, we're doing it"
The "oh were doing it" cracked me up. Every dad needs that kind of support before making a risky move like that 😂
@@jimcollins8097 the absolute best line.....should be the title of the episode....
Great to see him having fun (his job looks like an incredible amount of fun, but I know it always better when u are not working)
"Look at mah bad self!" Why we love Matt.
A bit more than a year later, it's cool to see how much more confident Matt has become driving the Morrvair. Its capability has continued to exceed expectations, too.
Man if people knew what an accomplishment it is to do a build and have almost no issues on its first major outing. That's absolutely incredible!
I was thinking the same thing! Usually there is always a little grimllen hiding waiting for the worst possible moment to show it's ugly little face!! They probably had a few bolts that needed to be tightened up, but that is just maintenance and doesn't count in my book LoL
@@firstnamelastnameisallowed7943 I had a '61 4-door Corvair that came out of the factory with gremlins that would show their ugly faces and I would sit along the side of the road with two little kids !
way to spoil it! lol
@k henne Electrical issues are the worst in my book!
@k henne Maybe the best part is that there's VERY little original beyond the Corvair body. What a spectacular debut for a project like this!
As I watched this I couldn’t help but think of all the people that just got out flexed by a corviar wagon
Would they call that suspension articulation? Whatever they call it, it was epic. Incredible angles and in opposite directions sometimes, and keeping the tires in contact with the ground so all four wheels are pushing you forward. I think Matt mentioned that a lower crawl speed gear would have been good, but if that's all he could think of with a just completed major project, then that is a spectacular success in my book.
@@TrevorDennis100 it’s usually called flex as a casual term, but suspension articulation would be technically correct.
@@TrevorDennis100 I believe Rudy did a good bit of the fabrication so that’s a testament to his skills for sure!
Dude you went through the hot tub with out the least bit spinning!!!! That's a huge achievement
Great job guys, for a fresh build that Corvair did amazing and drove over ever obstacle without a fuss! And you never even had to make a call 📞😃!
That's a sweet new winch line Matt. Great idea!
What a great time, we are so stoked that you all brought the Corvair out to play with us in Moab!
I would say Excellent overall, for a 1st major test run, Minus an exhaust pipe which can be shortened a few inches on each side, The gearing worked out great, while it may not be perfect or low enough etc, didnt fuss ( as you said ) too much at all... Might be 1 of the very few Car based Custom builds that have ever gone through so smoothly, Im sure It's going to turn a lot of heads on the trail's etc.
I was pleasantly surprised to see you and your crew with MORR at MOAB!
The winch line is very nice.
Figured you were gonna just kinda settle down and take it easy after saving
Tennessee from the Super Volcano and the Nazees, so it's good your still wheeling.
Can’t believe how clean you kept that windshield for two days.
Incredible it’s almost like it’s not even there
@@danquaid7103 Yaw except for bugs in the teeth.
@@Sillyturner Bugs in the teeth because they were smiling the whole time!!!!👍
I bet they used Invisible Glass window cleaner.
A little bit of rain x goes a long way.
man, I've been hooked on this channel for the last few weeks and I love everybody on it. They have such great chemistry together and they do such awesome work with pulling people out of sticky situations and their fab skills are on point too. The best part is that they are all so modest about everything and seem so chill. Usually when you catch a channel about anything off road or shop related stuff it's all in your face, loud music, we're the baddest, OC choppers type horseshit. These guys are just fun and relaxing to watch as they do their thing. Cheers to Matt and his squad, yall seem like good people!
Lost my dad a few years ago. It brings me so much joy to see Matt and Rudy and the rest of the group having such a great time together.
Yep, it does. I lost my Dad to Covid this past December 😢😢😢
Lost my dad in February to cancer. I was thinking the same thing watching this video. Enjoy your parents while you can, this life doesn’t last forever.
Sorry for your guy's losses chin up
It does something similar to me but bitter sweet for different reasons, it shows me what the relationship should be like
The drone shots around 6:35 were incredible. What a cool place.
Yes and the thought of driving up to that edge and standing there has my feet sweating haha.
The mutual respect between Matt & Rudy is such a beautiful thing. Y’all make me proud to be an American❤
Matt, your pride is warranted, you and your team built an exceptional machine. More than that, you have raised a good son “Rudy”. Both of you are the best of friends, and you just don’t see that very often. Congratulations on your build.
“That was quite the climb” “Yeah, especially when you’re fat” 🤣 Matt...when all the math, fabrication, blood, sweat and tears performs that well...all you can do is smile brother! 👍
I gotta give props to your camera crew. Your channel is fun to watch because y'all seem like good people and do some cool stuff. But having great documentation is what really brings it home. Your attitudes/personalities make the content super down to earth and relatable, while the videography and editing make it flow like high end production. Good work to the folks behind the scenes! Thanks for keeping our attention focused. Hard to stop binging on these videos.
I think Rudy's fab work on the corvair impressed me most. Glad to see him get an ataboy for the effort.
And please... Everyone let's take a moment and appreciate the amazing cinematography here. Wow, wow and woooooow.. 😮👍
Mega-nana did awesome. Major kudos to Matt, his family, and his work team for their countless hours. This video is proof that their efforts are paying off...in spades. The clearance that you have, on something with that long of a wheelbase, is actually impressive. Pushing the tires towards the corners really pays off when off-road.
I was just thinking how those approach & departure angles couldn't get much better unless Matt found a way to hang the axles all the way out under the bumpers! The proportions on that Corvair are just perfect. It might even better with windows! I know... all in due time. ;^)
You built an extremely capable vehicle. That departure angle is crazy.
That little dually wrecker was also as much fun to see
It has a fan following on youtube.
Hi Matt from the UK - You have built one hell of a vehicle - you and the crew should be proud, hope it performs many rescues
Two things:
• This video series inspired me to nut-up & just start fabricating. Nobody can tell you "what will work" but you. Your rig runs smooth as silk and looks badass!
• Matt, were you more proud of the rig itself, or the fact that your Boy is a wicked fabricator and damn good driver? Totally looked like you were having a "Proud Papa" moment lol. I love that feeling!
To think that you did all of that engineering in your head and to have the first go be executed so well is an amazing feet. Matt, you and your whole team should be very proud of what you built. Great work, great scenery, great video!
Amazing Feet? It is Toe-Riffic !😆
Zone and the
The camaraderie, togetherness, and benefit of good friends can be appreciated with this group of kind, down-to-earth people. Thank-you so much for helping us get through this time of fear, uncertainty, and trepidation. Cheers to Matt's off Road Recovery crew and please keep making these wonderful videos!!! My father was a mechanic for 50+ years and if he were alive I bet these great adventures would have added years to his life. 😊
I used to do a lot of off-roading, wilderness camping, back-packing, and fishing with the Toyota Tacoma SR5 4X4 I had and your videos bring back great memories.
Greetings from Canada!
Matt always gets it done with less drama than anyone else. Very smooth operator.
Always amazed by how the camera flattens out Hells Gate. People don’t realize how steep that climb is in real life. Corvair made it look easy though, nice work boys!
As a Aussie I totally fell in love with Moab, Ive been there 3 times now, amazing place with really nice people.
The noise the Corvair door makes when it gets shut is so satisfying.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE HAVE A AMAZING SUNDAY :)
you too
yes happy zombie Jesus day
what i love about the morrvair, is no matter the obstacle, everyone else is spinning and bouncing etc, then the morrvair comes and just rolls up, doesnt really spin, bounce, anything. it just makes everything look effortless. its amazing to watch
I was amazes by how little fuss the Corvair generated going over the obstacles. It just tractored over them.
Right, strong!
I can't believe how easy the corvair conquered that hot tub! Amazing.
Matt, Rudy and CREW should be proud of their build -- can't wait to see it perform recoveries
That build and the team not only knocked the ball out of the park, but it knocked the ball through the wall and sent it two counties away. This is becoming one of my eagerly watched for events!!!
The original corvair engineers are grinning from ear to ear seeing that beast clear angles and obstacles they never could have imagined
Just what I was thinkin!
We need a .gif file of Matt’s ‘look at my bad self’ dance created immediately!
That shot with the drone of all you guys at the precipice was epic!
beautiful place to get together
The father and son interaction made the video for me. Everything else was just gravy. Thanks for the awesome video.
I am a Land Cruiser fan and have had a 60 series Land Cruiser as a daily driver since 1984. I always felt that it was a perfectly proportioned vehicle.
You and your son and crew have created the same thing with your Corvair. It is a pleasure to look at from every angle and thanks to your Moab video I have seen it from every angle. Great build.
Man the air Corvair is a beast. You guys did one hell of a job.
Wow! The exhaust sound is so clean and smooth- no miss-firing and no thrash popping... VERY nice tune!
Letting Rudy have the first "go" on the Goonie Bird Toes and Metal Masher is so classy and Dad-like. Loved it!
that grumpy growl she makes when she's climbing obstacles is awesome, really great build guys👌
Yeah the Exhaust sounds good, for what it did on the 1st major run as a test, couldnt have got much better, except for a bent pipe, which could be shortened a few in. on each side.
The Corvair has turned out to be an incredibly capable rig! It's wonderful to see Matt do a little dance of celebration . When the capabilities of your vehicle are stronger than your nerves to tackle an obstacle, you know that you've done well with your build and you can always work harder on yourself to catch up with the abilities of your vehicle! Congratulations to the whole team, P.S. I love the winch rope, perfect sense!
Nonsense
Matt: "This is a great trail..."
On next weeks episode "we get a call from a prius, in mickey's hottub"
Or that girl with the Mazda in the hot tub.
That's funny rite there 😁
Probably a rental, no less.
Im working on that...
An intelligent man knows his limitations. No shame in an easier route.
@Ron Johnson, you said it right that it was Matts limitations and not the limitations of the Corvair. On the second day, it was obvious that Matt and Rudy were getting more confidence and that the Corvair could very easily handle everything that was thrown at it! A very capable Corvair that the team has built!
It spoils the trip if you break your truck on the first/ second day. Especially if it's a new born.
Good call
Matt smiling like a Cheshire Cat! Looks like all the blood, sweat and tears paid off and a testimony to the team skills it took to build a very unusual rig. ROCK ON!
You guys can be immensely proud of the Corvair build, it really did great!
The entire team that built this Corvair should be proud. You guys did a tremendous job on set up. It went thru these courses with flying colors.
You have every right to be as pleased as punch guys... that’s one hell of an impressive rig you’ve made, WOW! And she sounds so laidback, gently purring with the odd growl and easy roar. She is a serious beauty too, I love the company colour scheme!
I can't stop smiling with these guys. Some of the most pleasant people on TH-cam. Congrats on the awesome build!
You should definitely name it "The Banana Split". It is a two tone Banana. Has a nice ring to it and pays homage to The Banana!
Dam that is what i thought also
My vote for a name is, "Second Banana".
Bump because this is a great idea
Banana split would be a cool name lol
Bananna Split is perfect!
“Corviar don’t care” you will have to get that put on it! 😂
Fantastic Job Matt, Rudy and the rest of your team, for building a wonderfully badass vehicle that does EXACTLY what you designed it for with apparent ease.
The Corvair did a great job on its first outing. Taking those trails like a champ. And I love the way it sounds.
That was the best exit out of the hot tub I have ever seen
...The Wagon thought it was a small, slightly irritating pothole, and handled it accordingly.
I live in Alberta where the mountains and scenery are incredible but when I visited Moab I was in awe at the beauty of the desert
Man, my stomach was in knots before the 20 minute mark. I can't imagine what it would be like riding. I'm very happy watching it from the comfort of my chair. Rudy and his Corvair made it look real easy. Matt, I'm sure you taught him everything he knows.
Hey guys, I briefly said hi to Matt and Rudy by Lite Brite's both. These guys are so down to earth. Thank you Matt and Rudy for bringing us along on your adventures and also demonstrating what a good family looks like...in today's society that's not seen enough.
This is amoungst my favorite episodes of MORR, seeing you and Rudy just out stretching your limits in your amazingly built vehicle. I have watched the whole build series again over the last few days. Such an amazing job. The scenery shots in this episode are off the hook and I wish you would do more of this style of video. Thanks for taking us along.
I love the wrecker! That thing is a beast.
Check out, recovery team,
“Look at my bad self!” (Insert rooster strut and Jedi arm wave). He’s bad so bad. Recovery, Matt’s Offroad Recovery. Baby.
Yep, Matt is as happy as an early morning crowing rooster in the middle of a hundred laying hens in the barnyard. When a corvair moves that gracefully over hill and dale, it becomes referred to as a "SHE". So guess the future name might be a female name. Its wonderful to see all the hard work end up so successfully. Matt and Da Crew? Totally awesome!
The Winder Towing crew should be very proud of yourselves. The Corvair Wagon took everything you throw out it. Very AWESOME build.....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Imagine going through all this and at the end of the trail there's middle aged woman stuck with rental Honda civic
Oh, I see you must know my wife.
Jeez...if your gonna have a fantasy make it a good one
I've taken my 95 accord up part of Hell's revenge.
@@josephfootball8446 You haven't seen his wife.
Sounds like the beginning of a missing 411 case...
That Corvair is a beast! The fact that you built it with family makes it even better!
Awesome results! Very happy and proud of you guys for a job well done. Really cool to see that rig perform so well on its first outing. Not just it’s ability to wheel through some really difficult terrain, but the vehicle seemed very reliable. No stalls, overheating or electrical gremlins. A credit to the team, great mechanics and fabricators
People at EJS must be rolling their eyes like "not ANOTHER LS swapped Corvair wagon".
A real good dad letting your son drive it for the first time going jeeping awesome man you are Matt
I don't know why but there's something so satisfying about those tires squishing against the rocks and biting in as the truck crawls!
The fact that you took that new vehicle and that you let Rudy drive it says a lot about the future of Matt's Off Road Recovery. Hats off to you guys and look forward to watching a lot more of your adventures.
How big of an incline can the Corvair do?
Corvair: Yes 14:00
Now we know where Lizzy gets her moves from.
The clarity of the air is just amazing to this east coaster.
Corvair made that look easy but you want to know the real reason?! The person behind the wheel. Good job guys. This was so entertaining and was stoked for you guys watching the whole vid.
Edit: As Matt said, "I'm pleased as punch."
0:43 Matt: He's also our tour guide.
- I don't know if I'd call myself a tour guide, I thought you were leading?
That laugh of Matt's though. Golden!
Only a few minutes into it but damn, I love that group shot on the over look thats a classic blow it up and put it on the wall picture.
jesus. I couldn’t imagine living in such a beautiful place. having that as your playground is so dope.
As a member of an offroad club in Michigan, I totally agree.
I was thinking the same thing, but it might just mean you would always be broke unless you could avoid the temptation to do all that fun stuff.
Living in the midwest, I totally agree!
I lived there for 15 years. Raised my kids there, it was awesome. Now it's so overrun it's not so pleasant. The town permits more than 10 new hotels every year. My friends call it hotel Moab. Then the city went and put a moratorium on air bnb's. It got pretty annoying living there.
@@brenthunsaker9042 My brother and I wanted to build a hotel there in the 80's before Moab started getting popular. The banks turned us down for a loan saying Moab was a dying town. There were only 3 or 4 hotels there at the time with a motel or two shut down for lack of business. We could see the change coming. A couple years later the hotels started popping up. Like you, other locals moved out because it wasn't quaint any more.
When you went through the hot tub I was so worried it was going to contact the body somewhere! That was tight!!! Nice wheeling and an epic rig!👍
Might be a horrible idea but the way modern cars have cameras everywhere and 360* birds eye view of your ride...that seems valuable in many of this situations. The clearance of the Corvair was spot on for so many of the obstacles. Thing is a beast.
Rudy seems like a good kid, Matt must be proud👍
You can see Matt is very proud of him. He let him drive the Corvair, because he knows how hard Rudy worked on it.
Without complaining.
I still like the "Snaggin' Wagon." I am extremely impressed that your guys ran that rig on its first real outing without any mechanical failures.
Your team built an amazing car. There is nothing it can't do. Its cool to see how pumped you are about this project. You guys are a blessed group. Keep it up.
When the engine revs the captions say [music]. And that is right.
That weird feeling when it's okay to be proud and then overwhelmed that you've done a good job great build what a great day..
I have got to say , for a home made machine , that is a monster , it didn't even bat an eyelid , even at Hells Revenge and the Escalator ! Well done guys , that is one awesome offroad beast , will be excelent at its recovery job by the look of things !
Every episode i kept waiting for Matt to paint over the Halloween face on the rear axle but noticed it's there to stay, too funny. This is such a cool vehicle to watch climb these trails. Great job team
I could easily watch hours of this thing just out there wheelin' w/ Matt & Rudy. That suspension work was just perfect.
My friend Jim's nephew went to Utah with his rock crawler
he said slow is what it's about he loved it
his name was John John - RIP John John
Your Crawlvair is amazing! Such sure-footedness. It makes all of the challenges look so easy, and I know they're not! I cannot believe how perfectly you designed and created that machine! You must be extremely pleased!
Matt you summed it up perfectly in one sentence......"The Corvair was shining" I for one is super amazed!
To all the guys and gals at Matt's workshop you did a great job. I believe that your station wagon did a better job on the trails than the purpose built trucks. The LS sounded great and didn't even work hard, it just walked around the trails. GOOD JOB!!
“Saturday Saturday Saturday.... you’ll pay for the whole seat but you’ll only need the edge!” 😂
if Bleeping jeep has "Curious George" then the Corvair should be known as "The man in the yellow hat"!
I’ve never heard of rock crawling. I’m torn between cringing at the damage to the beautiful area and total enjoyment of watching y’all rock crawling!
You made CORVAIR PROUD. Fantastic job.
The name for the Corvair should be “banana split”!
Liking it
I like it. Just "split" can work too!
Should be the “Banana Hammock.”
MORRvair
Not stuck at any speed
Glad you had trailmater along just in case!
"Bad luck" doesn't worry me, it's "worse luck" that tends to bite me in the butt!
"I don't know what it is but it sounds like a chicken" from this day forward I'm calling it the "Scalded Chicken"
I was thinking almost the same, anything with chicken in the name I can get behind. Not to mention they are eating Chicken Biscuits at 8:45
Great first 4 wheeling adventure !!!!
Cool collector car/ crawler/ recovery vehicle !!!!! Gotta be the only one of its kind !! Glad you shared the experience with Bleepin' Jeep crew, Matt & Matt, & their killer crews !!!
Corvair is an instant legend! You've all built one heck of a machine. Happy Easter!
