When my wife says “You can take my car, if you want” that translates to “It needs gas”. That’s the secret language of marriage.
Usually mine runs her gas out then runs mine out and at that point says hey we need gas. 😂
@@FollowingtheCliffNotes thats a no fly with me i have rules to my car and one is if you use it you must pay contribution to said car in some way. when i use someone car i put gas in it and clean the mess i may have done and for fun check the fluids. i expect atleast gas for my car. not a hard request and im flexible if you cant for some reason there other way to pay me back.
@@Crispy77760 I drive a company vehicle so she calls her explorer hers and my Jeep hers
All the low fuel warning lights in the wife's cars are activated by the presence of a male ass in the driver's seat.
Soooooooo true.
Now we have to see Trever’s 49 Merc.
A 49 Mercury is a perfect match for Trevor
I am also here to second this comment
Come on Trevor.. let's see what you got.
Agreed
Let's see it Trevor
First rule of desert driving: NEVER pass up a chance to top off the tank.
A Double Amen to that !
thank the truck drivers who bring the gas to the station that makes all this driving possible
@@kellyyoung1665 I agree truckers need to be thanked, but lets be real, almost all jobs exist for a reason, we cant function without them, so truckers aren't some special breed. Getting fuel to the station is pointless if somebody didn't design the truck and trailer in the first place, or a worker installing the pumps to get the fuel from the under ground tank to your car. Everybody is a link in the chain, nobody deserves more thanks than another.
@@joker432 Tell that to the "Thanks for your service" crowd. And I'm a vet, so I can say so. Everybody has value.
Truth!! Never go out with out extra water.
That whispered "Dog's don't sweat" and the look on Lizzy's face 😂
My father taught us that "it is better to get gas when it is convenient than to get gas when it is inconvenient". And nothing is more inconvenient than being stuck on the side of the road waiting for someone to bring you gas.
Yep. It's easier to drive to get gas than it is to push the vehicle to get it.
Yeppers!
When my fuel gauge gets to 1/4 tank, I'm stressed out & need fuel NOW!
I get below half a tank and I start worrying.
Fuel up halfway.. dad taught me that when I was young. It saves the fuel pump and if an emergency arises ur ready!
It does not cost any more to run on the top half than it does to run on the bottom half. PLUS, say it is wintertime and you are on the freeway and traffic is blocked for whatever reason, a warm car is preferable to a freezing car. CRAP happens!!! That is a fact!!
Wait, you drop that Trevor is working on a '49 Merc and then just end the video?!?! Hope it does up in a future vid!!
Matt when running out of fuel - "I hate stopping at a gas station for fuel"
Matt when starting a recovery - "Lets get some food" (Goes to gas station)
That's what I was thinking when he said he hates stopping at gas stations...lol
When I was young I used to walk and the buses would drive by me and I'd walk just so I could save the $2.50 for the bus ride to work out smart was that
Thanks for the Country Fried steak!😉
You've got to talk Matt into a small "Swing-out" style Jerry can holder. If nothing more at least one that can hold the smaller NATO 10-ltr (2-1/2 gallon) can. They can be found at the Sportsman's Guide website for cheap, some are actually made in Europe to mil-spec, not China... ^~^
Hey boss could I ask a favor
@@ditzydoo4378 Or just...... Fill the tank before heading out.
@@om617yota8 Naaaaaaa... not Matt's style, at least according to him... ^~^ But for the Morvair and Banana, a definite must.
12:23 i’ve said it before and I will say it again; Matt (and Mr Fab Rat) are like a modern version of a Marty Robbins Western hero, helping out trapped travelers, stranded city slickers, and quagmired cosmopolitans.
When I worked for GM, we had a customer complain about running out of gas frequently with his truck. He frequently went off road. He explained, you know when the gage reads E, then the fuel light comes on, and you keep driving, how are you supposed to know when to fill up? His theory, was once the light came on, you should still have enough fuel to get home from anywhere, get to work the next day, and be able to fill up on the way home. His solution, was to always carry a five gallon fuel can full. I had to bite my tongue, to not say, they call it an idiot light for a reason.
If you changed the fuel light to come on at half a tank so he could do that, he'd complain about that too.
If this story is true, how was this guy even smart enough to breath let alone hold a job?!!
figure 20 miles left before running out of gas
Sounds like a Democrat to me
@Carson Hopper Yup, it's that kind of idiocy that gets people like Trump elected as the president. Weird world we live in...
“Hey I found a granola bar for ya”

That thing must have been covered in dog sweat!!! 😆 🤣 😂
Matt, I have visited Hurricane Utah with my wife a dozen times. We start in Detroit, 2,000 miles from Hurricane. We drive for 14 hours, 900 miles, with TWO stops because the car is out-of-gas. Our stops never ever take more than 10 minutes. We love the movement. We arrive late the second day. We have done 6 trips to Medford Oregon, 2,400 miles, 2 trips to Los Angles, 2,300 mi, all these arriving middle of third day. Phoenix, 2100 mile, 30 times, arriving the second day. Yellowstone, 1800 miles, 24 times. This one we always stop short, in Du Boise Wyo. That way we go over the mountain pass into Jackson Hole, with the rising Sun to our backs, and shining on the eastern face of the Teton Mountain range. Magnificent!
As a warning, always wear safety glasses with that Milwaukee impact. Mine shot a small piece of metal into my eye through the vent. An optometrist had to remove it..
Ive been watching these videos for a year and it still blows me away they don't wear safety glasses. I too have had a chunk of metal removed from my eye, and I have one that can't be removed... but I guess I had to learn the way as well these folks... hard to watch sometimes 😆
I’ve had metal removed from my eye also. Safety glasses are the only way to go for me. Matt should set the example and get the whole crew in the habit. Okay off my soapbox. Thanks for the videos Matt.
Darn, I thought Matt loved stopping at gas stations since he always looks so happy after buying their food.
😊😂🤣
"Thank you, Toyota. It's like you think you're Ford or something." LOL!
I read this comment as Matt said that.
"its weird they call them fittings, and here they are not even fitting" lollll
From aviation: The only time you have too much gas is when you're on fire.
Good one!
Or toooo heavy to take off!
Or too heavy to land
Not to mention after I eat beans and brocolli! Speaking of aviation, every sit on a plane near someone with bad gas? Its a good way to get plenty of elbow room in the coach seats!
Can you give us some history on how the banana came to be? We learned that it used to be towed behind an RV and of course it was a different color. Thanks
Well I think there's a video that says a lot of stuff about it,
......unfortunately I don't recall which one. But until then the whole thing is burgundy under that yellow paint,the rear axle is from an ambulance/Van, the front axle is from a Chevy pick-up,I think the rear disc brakes are from the front axle of another Chevy pick-up and
legend has it that the rear leaf Springs come from a top fuel dragster......
JK, Top fuel dragsters don't have leaf Springs or any suspension for that matter..😅😂🤣
@@skeetermcswagger0U812 I think the rear axle is from a 60's hurst, ghostbusters style
@@v12alpine No, that would be cool..... but I doubt it.
Probably a Ford F-350 Econoline Van 1 Ton Eaton rear end from the mid 90's.
The Ghostbusters type ambulances were made by Cadillac back in the 1950 and '60s.
@@v12alpine But it would be a good idea to make their next recovery vehicle out of an Alpine with tracks on it!!!!
I think alpines are the best looking underrated cars ever made!!!
@@v12alpine Not an actual V12 Alpine,... tracks on a stereo amplifier would be kind of weird.😂

Maverick... Adventures First Stop. If you live in Utah, you'll know what I am talking about.
I love you all but Trevor is my favorite. Dude has my sense of humor.
I never run out of fuel. My truck has a 40 gallon main tank and a 105 gallon tank in the bed. As soon as the gauge moves off of full, I stop and refill EVERYTHING... LOL
Lizzie needs to be on fill time. Her humor is perfect.
Rudy, with all the confidence of a long-term politician- "I regret nothing."
Rudy is a nice guy. I admire Lizzie because she is willing to do anything they ask her to do. Welding? No problem
@@pkerit308 she's definitely an awesome young lady. I'm sure she's got a very proud papa, and a couple of overprotective uncle's watching over her!
With an answer like that I see politics in Rudy’s future
@@clearingbaffles Let's hope not. Rudy along with his family and coworkers are high quality people. I think that's why this channel is popular. I'm pretty sure politics or PC corrupts most folks, even at work. Almost every election in my lifetime has been a giant compromise in choosing the 'least worst'.
@@clearingbaffles - I think not. Rudy seems to have a conscience. And a soul. The whole lot of them are refreshingly alien in today's demented society. We would be a lot better off if there were a lot more like these folks. Even their dogs are blessed.
I call BS. A video with this much welding and hot metal and Matt didn't touch any of it? INCONCEIVABLE!
During the first charge of the MORVAIR he was up against the engine.. Didn't show the mark on cam..
Was thinkin' the same thing lol.
OMG! Banana getting a new headliner! LOL
Going all the way with that interior, old girl gonna be like new!
What I like about this channel is that they won't leave anyone stranded. I'll bet if Matt had passed that woman with the flat tyre and had not stopped. He wouldnt have stopped thinking about if she was ok or not. Great family and employees 😊👍
get a large fuel tank at the yard so you can fuel on your way out without having to make an extra stop.
You can always pay 25% more and get the no corn. Get 3-4 months out of it and smells glorious.
That would make sense for his type of business
@@devilselbow fuel stabilizer you can get at least 6 months
Project Farms episode on fuel stabilizers would interest you... might be suprized
That's an outstanding idea,...... But knowing Matt,he'll keep running the yard out of gas.
Ending in Jamie coming to the rescue with the gas truck.🛢⛽
"Smash!" Uh, it's not for sale anymore! 😂 You guys stopping to help that lady was completely awesome.
Interesting Fact: Dogs technically do sweat, mainly through their paws and noses.
I 💛 Trevor , Rudy, Lizzy, Ed, Jayme, & Paul from Fab Rats!.
I think each team member needs a Fan Club!
When Matt lifted the driver's side front fender and held it up beside him (1:49) I thought he was gonna start strumming his "fender" "guitar " 😂
Dad joke Haha!
That is funny.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What was he going to play, The Orange Blossom Special?
@@loosemoose9799 Yes we have no bananas in Scranton Pa😂😂
This group is so much fun to watch!
They do seem to work and play well together! I know I find it entertaining to watch
You hate stopping what so ever , but your a good enough man to help someone stranded.. goes to show . I broke down in my jeep two days ago and one person stopped out of probably 100 cars … your the man matt
Rudy - what you've been learning is worth a lifetimes savings and satisfaction. You light years ahead of kids in my neighbourhood.
All the while, watching this video made me think of "Jonny 5"...No Disassemble!... Poor Banana.
malfunction, need input....
Matt, I used to want to go for hours while my wife wanted to stop. Now I'm 72 and can't pass up a restroom.
Yeah it sucks being old. I'm almost 40 and wish I could be in my twenties again
@@leadnsteel1428 I have heard told it sucks even more not getting older.
Hey John, how may times a night do you have to get up to drain your tank? I am 74, and it is usually 2 to 4 times for me.
You need "Saw Palmetto". You can buy it over the counter at any drugstore. But make sure its at least 400mg per pill. I have been taking it for about 10 years for treating my enlarged prostate. One pill in the morning and one in the evening and I only get up once maybe twice a night. And the flow is half as strong as when I was 15.
Hearing Matt sing a tiny bit of Down Town reminds me of being on holiday in the South of France. My English sister-in-law was practicing her French on a market stall holder who laughed and said 'You speak French like Petula Clark'. Petula had been living in Paris for a good many years by that time, (I believe she lives in Switzerland now) so I guess her native Brit accent has stuck with her despite living _much_ longer outside the UK than in it.
I'm with Matt. I /hate/ stopping on road trips. Man of solid principles
Matt: "If it doesn't leak it's beautiful."
Amen to that, brother. Words to live by.
Right along the lines of 'if it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid'
Shouldn't you only peel the outside of a banana?😂🍻
It'll b all bruised underneath. 🤣
They took all the innards out
They are devouring the inside....
I'm not much of a germophobe or a dirtophobe, but watching them pull out that carpet made me cringe!
@@dbmail545 yeah I wanted to start coughing
Matt is legit my spirit animal....I too detest having to stop (I'm a truck driver) so i am on the road for up to 11 hours and working for up to 14 hours sometimes and I will go the full 14 hours without stopping for a restroom break. like matt says a lot of people can't but I can dunno if it's healthy or not but i have been doing it all of my life and I have never had an issue.
1:15 Max is like, "You can lay that where ya like, but I'm finishing this here nap."
Trevor has one of those personalities that just makes your day better. Funny dude.
I agree, he has such a subtle sense of humor that it's awesome. You never quite expect it when he says some things. Lol.
Yes! I’m happy she is getting more love! She deserves it
Here for jeep content. !
The intro was my favorite ever. I have been asking you to replace that headliner for a while now. My OCD hated that ratty thing! Lol!
I love Matt. I’m the same way. When I get in my vehicle I don’t stop unless I absolutely am forced to!
“I regret nothing.” Haha classic
Matt would have said "Je ne regrette rien" 'cos he's older.
Man, if I tried to take a car apart it would never run again. You guys are amazing and having watched all your videos I am confident and excited about the project. 👍👍👍👍👍........and I loved the gas issue, and helping a stranger and A Fab Rats creation. All good. And so much stuff in one video. 👍👍👍👍👍
He's a great example of the type of people who make rural America such an awesome place to live!
Its’s not anti seize as much as it is Utah! I lived in AZ for 20 years and working on desert trucks was awesome. Now I live in the humid south where you need a torch to take out suspension bolts! Love your channel, you do a fine job at towing and entertaining! Thanks for going through all the work to provide a quality show!
Love the fact that you guys decided to keep the banana and do a complete overhaul on it which it deserved being the icon vehicle of the business! Awesome work!!
I drive my wife crazy, if it gets down to 1/2 a tank, we're "almost out". Of course, I haven't run out of gas in about 48 years.
I never let either of our cars below 1/4, usually top off at 1/2 if I'm not on a schedule/late, but I also don't drive through the desert without any gas stations to pass by
Only time I've run out was from a bad sending unit I didn't notice stopped moving the gauge (digital, miles-to-empty only display).
Same here, fill at half tank. Has saved my ass a couple times.
Good fellow. My dad also taught me to till up again at 1/2 a tank.
Saves on the fuel pump. Those that run in that lower bit of fuel really cook their fuel pumps as it's cooled by gas.
part of the 1/4 tank club myself.
I can say the same although I would have to add "since" I ran out. First I was lucky to be able to coast into the station and the second was on prom night. There I had to walk better part of a mile if not more and back right past where today stands a gas station.
Dog sweat.😂😂😂 That’s called saliva,slobber or hot dog breath!
They sweat through their paws.
@@yasotay This guy knows whats up
Was gonna say Lizzie was half wrong.....Dog Slobber
OFF with her HEAD..liner. You could tell that except for Matt, that was a long time coming. Ed dropping the most important wisdom as usual, we work in here where it's cool heheh. Stay hydrated & take care Ed!! Weather's really rough right now. I hate frequent stops too Matt, but sadly we don't all have big bladders lmao. This was seriously entertaining. You guys bring a certain charm that keeps me glued to the screen. Stay cool & be safe out there!
I had a 70s Cherokee two door and I put a Chevy 350 with Edlebrock carb, Mallory ignition, headers, dual exhaust, rebuilt turbo 300 w/ quardratrac with a locker ect ect ect......drove that sleeper everywhere for years + cross country five times. When I'd down shift at 60 it chirpped! Loved that sled. 🚓😎
If only all Americans could see this video, on how to be Americans!! FAMILY!! FRIENDSHIP!! FUN!! HELPING OTHERS, even a stranger!! Being productive & positive no matter the situation!! Thanks for the hope & joy your channel gives to me!!
Great video! Should come with a disclaimer label. Some assembly required, batteries not included, some parts not provided, void where prohibited, must be 18 to enter, if itching persists more than 3 days please see a doctor. And only you can prevent wildfires.
'49 mercury... I had that car in HS back in the mid 50's. Great car, and buddy had that in a convertible. Brings back great memories..
Loved that the shop dog did not flinch at all when the bumper was put down.
My Dad told me when I first started drinking “it gets the same mileage on the top half of the tank as the bottom. So I’ve always tried to keep my tank half full at least
This is either an increadibly funny mistype or you've got a severe alchohol problem :)
@@Stumper52 yup that’s pretty funny. Supposed to be driving 🤣
Is Ed ok? He looks off. He's a good man and seems to pull his weight. I love the Matt's recovery family and videos.
Thought the same..
Hopefully just feeling the heat. I'm less than half his age and working outside saps all my energy.

Rudy I need a play by play of taking out all of the carpet and interior.
And Trevor I will need that electrical diagram because I have to pull everything electrical 🤣
Excited to see the Banana transformation ❤️🐞
Great job on the A/C and on stopping to assist the lady with the flat tire - also on taking Paul and Michelle to dinner! 😎
I am born and raised in New York from a kind hearted loving family and every time I watch your videos I want to move to Utah. I love you guys. I’m going to have to send you a link for some -22AN hose for your radiator in the morvar
heh reminds me of my dad about when to fuel up. He was a traveling salesman and going through Wyoming, Nebraska, Utah and Colorado. His rule was if it was less than half a tank fuel up cause out in some Parts of Wyoming and Nebraska (of course Utah) you won't see a gas station for a long time and don't want to get caught in blizzard with no fuel either and that was in the late 70's and 80's probably not as many gas stations. Always peace of mind of something you can control.
I was out four wheeling in the soupy slop years ago. On my way back, a large tree had fell across the road. I had a couple of good chains, but I was concerned about getting stuck attempting to remove the tree. The other way out was much longer, and I wasn't sure I had enough fuel to get back to civilization. I hated that feeling so much that when I got back, I mounted two GI fuel cans.
Ten gallons of gas will get me back from most places, and I have helped dozens of people in the years since then.
I also keep a $100 bill in my air cleaner for emergency situations too. I don't want to get stranded somewhere and my debit card not work. The Boy Scout Moto has served me well!
Agreed. As much as I hate stopping to get gas, I've been on quite a few roads where you don't see civilization for a long time. There are quite a few roads in Nevada, and Arizona where if you see a gas station, you should stop and fill up because you probably won't see another gas station for another 150+ miles.
I appreciate that you guys have no stupid drama, just calm attitudes and some healthy humor and laughter.
Have to agree with Matt's not wanting to stop during road trips. It's what I liked about my old Suburban so much - I could drive 500+ miles before having to refuel because the tank was huge (44 gallons).
Really enjoy when Fab Rats & MORR get together ... :)
I spotted the Morrvaire traveling east on I-80 near Knolls Utah last weekend! Hope you guys had some fun adventures!
Ed's laugh is good for the soul
We in Canada consider 1/2 tank empty mostly because you can freeze to death if you can’t call Matt’s off road recovery
"And after years of neglect they still come out because of anti-seaze" 🤣🤣 drive around for a couple winters in Wisconsin and tell me that's still the case when the bolt head rusted away to nothing. They don't know the struggles. 🤣
Its not much different near Pittsburgh, Pa, lol
@@mattcat231 As someone who grew up near Pittsburgh (North Fayette Township) I agree. I thought it was funny listening to people who live in the desert southwest extol the virtues of anti-seize. They don't even know the joy of working on an old car which has been driven through the winter all of its life.
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony Exactly, lol, I'd hate for anyone out west or the south to have a peek under my 02 Silverado 2500HD, lol, and im in the mid mon valley in Pa
We are all gonna love it when this plan comes together!
I Love Bananas, Because they Have Appeal! XJ's are terrific platforms, and so versatile. And you folks and your leader are amazing too! Fun, funny, hard working, not afraid to try; decent and honest! I'd love to spend a day following and videoing y'all!
Thanks for coming to the CACHE VALLEY CRUISE IN! It was a pleasure to meet all of you. I hope youll come be part of our show again next year
Has Matt ever considered getting fuel pumps installed at the shop? Never have to visit a gas station again. Buy gasoline in bulk at a cheaper rate. Save money, save time. Not selling to customers, so don't have to deal with regulations that gas stations do either. Simpler and cheaper install.
But they would still have to stop for food!
I'm not sure about Utah, but various and numerous groups of alphabet soup have a mission to make that more difficult than the average person would think. The Department of Environmental Quality is almost a domestic terror organization now.
Or get a Prius for running shop errands and misc. transport..... 640 mile fuel range, elec. + gas combined.
They would look great in YELLOW.
He really should. I have some friends that had a couple pumps put in on their farm and they practically pay for themselves with the convenience it gives you.
@JP Stone I just threw up a little thinking about a Prius parking by the Morrvair...
I think the only way a Prius would "look great" is UNDER the Morrvair!
My wife and I went to that dinner a few times when we were on our honeymoon and staying at the Zion mountain ranch. Good food!
Trevor has a '49 Mercury? That's an acceptable excuse no matter WHAT the delay is! AWESOME!
After 7 months of my own top-to-bottom XJ restoration, that interior demo was a bit haunting. Nothing quite like unbolting the driver seat and finding 5+yo FroYo crust, or lifting the console and unleashing a shower of maggot husks. Couple quickies: 1-Are you buying or fabricating the replacement back console bracket? 2-Crutchfield still sells the Metra double-DIN conversion face for the center dash, if deleting the radio you could put a double-DIN storage pocket there for stashing phones. These things are pretty short on such spaces.
I love all you guys "Matt's off-road Recovery" Team. Love ❤ from India
I'm tired of losing my coffee cup all the time!
I'm anxious for my new Matt's Off Road Recovery insulated cup to arrive!
That blazing yellow color should be difficult for me to misplace!
Good job Trevor! You work hard for the man and give it your all everyday! You deserve another raise.
(Disclaimer: I am in no way related to Trevor and he did not ask me to compliment him.)
Awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing how new carpeting will be installed in the Banana.
I love watching your adventures, but I also love seeing the area. I used to guide down there, and so when I see coming up the highway on Mt. Carmel Junction, or passing Coral Pink Sand Dunes, or Main Street in Logan, or any of the millions of other spectacular sights, it sure brings back a lot of memories! Thanks guys!
I changed the oil on my quad this morning, wore me out lol. The work these guys are doing is much harder and more effort than they make it look.
I replaced a radiator on my Mazda Minivan on a sidestreet this morning at 630am and it wore me out. Finicky work when you can't pull off the bodywork. Fun to watch someone else do it all while sitting on a comfy chair.
Matt's obsession with yellow runs as deep as my obsession for blue anything. Hell, just bought a blue four wheeler yesterday and some new blue grips for it.
When I worked in Northeast Wyoming and lived in Southwest Nebraska I typically had a 10-12 hour drive to get home. I had a 55 gallon slip tank plumbed into my already big 35 gallon tank on my truck and i routinely made that drive in one go. I was so conditioned to driving ten hours at a time that no one ever wanted to ride with me on my days off if we went somewhere because they knew there were no bathroom breaks. I had to be reminded often that not everyone can go that long without a stop. 😂
A jerrycan still means that “A” you still need to stop and fill it, and “B” you still need to stop and fill up when you run out, so “C” is still the best option. Fill up before you leave.
I like to fill up around 1/2 a tank, but once in a while I will not look at the gauge. It is usually when there is no station near, and I am on fumes. Nobody's fault but my own.
One time I was driving my Caterpillar service truck home, and I was 50 miles from fuel and on empty. I stopped at a rancher's place and asked him for 20 gallons of fuel. I had the office ladies sent the man a check after I got back to the shop. Again, I should have fueled up in Ely, but it would have had to back-track 35 miles from the mine where I was at. I did not make that mistake again.
Finally getting some much needed love and care
I'm with you Matt. I get in the car or truck and don't want to stop. It just adds time at the end of the trip.
13:10 Matt, my grandfather was the same way. I used to be, too. If we could get away with driving 8-12 hours we would do it. Later in his life he started developing kidney problems because of it. Not drinking enough water, not taking enough bathroom breaks when driving. Nowadays he's gotta be real careful with his liquids. Seeing that changed my ways. Driving for more than a couple hours with no breaks, and especially not drinking and peeing, is real stressful on your renal system, and neither of us drive nearly as much as you do. Don't take this as me trying to tell you what to do, Consider it food for thought. Nowadays I will stop around every 3 hours if I gotta do a long drive and walk around for 15 minutes. And I drink as much water as I need to, and if I gotta stop on the side of the road for a minute somewhere then so be it. You might be able to do it now, but that won't last forever, so you're gonna have to get used to the fact of stopping for breaks sooner or later anyways, may as well start sooner like I did.

Trevor: As in Michael Jackson bad?
Lizzy: who is Michael Jackson?
Introduce Lizzy to Michael Jackson and she’ll be Mars walk-in’ in a week
Gives me joy knowing there is still people in the world that don't give a crap about a disgusting plastic dude who loved little boys
Ed is the real star of the show. Keep up the great work Ed!
Hey Mr. Matt
I drive truck for a living and just a suggestion for the rebuild. In the sleeper is a condenser and fan for the Ac that is plumed to the compressor on the engine. That would help for the rear area cooling with a little space used for it. The Freon lines run underneath the semi to it. Just an idea for the Banana for rear cooling. CTR. great show btw.
I was actually going to send you two new sun visors until I saw this. Long live the Banana!
Remember to listen to Jamie more often when it comes to fueling up.
I can't wait to see what is in store for this thing.
But sorry, guys.... ya gotta work on a few rust buckets every now and then to know what it is really like to deal with stuck bolts that are going to break. And that anti-seize... Salt water just washes it away within a month.
I'm talking real rust. The crusty / corn flakes kind of rust with bolts that seize into the rubber inner bushing collars. Instead of sweeping up dirt after working on the car, you sweep up five pounds of rust flakes. When you pull up the carpet, you see the ground. Where wheels and brake rotors won't come off.
That's got to be the most convoluted a/c and heater system I've seen built from scratch... I LOVE IT.
Do something about the overheating, every jeep I've had was prone to overheat except the one I have now which is a diesel
The LS should fix that
mine was fan relay, blows every 5 months, they get wet, its under passenger side headlight , can cut hole in plastic and its right there , otherwise have to take of entire front grill..👍. I also remounted it so wasnt sitting flat , i put on side and was in dryer area
So, the main issue with the 4.0L and heat is the iron head+block combined with a closed deck design. The design is incredibly reliable mechanically but unfortunately absorbs a tremendous amount of heat then has a very poor way of disappating it. Modern inline 6 BMW engines have the same issue except they have rediculous sized radiators and intercooler but still run north of 280F.
@@brianboehmer43 are they doing an LS swap, or are the just putting in a stroked 4.0? I hadn't heard an announcement either way, but from the way he was initially talking I was expecting a 4.7 stroker.
@@LaPapaMollido I haven't heard either. Super excited to find out. Figured it was a swap though when they said they needed move the gear box and stuff.
Just a thought, where is Randy? we've not seen him for a while.
you're right :O
"All terrain randy" on TH-cam
I was wonder that too.There has been no mention of him leaving. I think he deserves at least an acknowledgement of service.
I thought I saw him on Casey’s awhile ago?
Someone asked this a while back. Someone else responded and said he no longer works with MORR.
Matt, you have an impeccable travel policy. Mine is similar but safer. Once going there is only one acceptable reason to stop, and that’s for gas. Food and bio breaks must all be accomplished within the timeframe required to fuel up. Oddly enough, today I drove my 20 yr old RV with NO AC from Zion to Dana Point Ca (500 miles - 8 hours - no stops). Unfortunately that same policy meant I couldn’t swing by the shop for some merch!
When you put that dash back on, make sure you re-felt all the pins/holes. That will keep it from squeaking when you are riding trails.
