I watch this channel because I like to see people who really know what they’re doing but don’t come across as know-it-alls. Most of all love how everyone gets along and shows good humor even under deadline pressure. I could never watch those “reality” fabricator shows where they felt the need for conflict and people yelling at each other to make it more dramatic. Plus you’re just all-around good people. You guys rock.
sure hope that the build includes a run from the battery to the rear end so you can hook up to the trailer wrench without needing to remember to bring the battery jump box every time.
I've suggested that before all my trucks had it. Best mod ever. Especially when your battery goes dead and you're parked nose in a spot. (I just jumped it from the rear bumper)
Rudy is an example of a kid raised right! Good guy with a great heart and Matt is a good dad on how he raised him. Great job to all the guys and gals of the shop. Wish y’all much success
My favorite color is yellow. It's just so vibrant and alive. I played an ultra-rare bright banana yellow American Kramer electric guitar for many years. It was number five of only eight that we're ever made. Best sounding guitar I've ever played. I'm also a huge fan of the XJ. I've owned two and loved them both for many years. Just seeing this bright yellow XJ always puts a smile on my face. Then, to make a video involving that XJ, all of the love you put into it, surrounded by an awesome group of people who are living a life that so many dream of having just sews it all up. I can always depend on this channel to put me in a better space when I'm feeling bitter about how ignorant we all can be.
I was the first to respond to a cutting wheel that injured one of my coworkers. He had to remove the guard to access a tight spot and the disk got stuck between two plates. It kicked back and broke his forearm. Those tools are practical but so dangerous.
@RollinRat give me a little credit I have somewhere between 750 and a million miles of driving a big rig draging 53 ft trailers up and down every single mountain of the east coast of the United States up and down the Rocky mountains Continental divide United States including 11,000 ft pass in Colorado on the i-70 and in the dead of winter with black ice on the road. There are many things that affect the abilities of the cooling system of a airplane a boat a car a truck as a variable that change on a daily basis. An example I help company I was working for at the time as a licensed small vessel captain by a 70-ft crew boat was made of aluminum this had twin 12V 71 twin turbo charge intercooled Detroit Diesel engines. Saltwater fishheat exchanger cooling system when you have the saltwater cooling of a heat exchanger that has antifreeze in the fresh water side. Deller guaranteed that the vessel could make 21 knots which is roughly 23 24 mph ocean water of Texas. Roughly 29° of latitude. However it was shipped to the island of Guam 13° of latitude above the equator the ocean temperatures are much warmer at or near the equator than they are in Texas the amount of humidity in the air meaning water vapor of the temperature of the air itself is quite different that vessel could never exceed 17 knots full throttle in speed runs now the engine room is on the vessel has forced air ventilation meaning fans blowing air into the engine room to aid in cooling. I was a captain of that vessel. As a private airplane pilot I know that anything called sectional density altitude that if the air temperature is above a certain number of degrees that even a jet engine airplane that does not have after burners on it cannot develop enough ground speed for for the airplane to take off.
Matt, a nice trick I learned when cutting threaded bolts or screws is this: Install a nut first onto the threads, make your cut, and then remove the nut. The nut cleans up the threads in the cut area and makes things fit very nicely!
@@traceylocke8690 Yep, good to see they are starting to get the hang of safety glasses. Now it's time to start on the ear protection. Something else that once lost can never be recovered. If you lose both, well...
Thanks for your hospitality the other day Tim! Enjoyed the chat. It was a quick trip to Vegas and back to Sand Hollow that day. Borrowed a shop rag to wipe the plate down, and put the 22 tags on in the yard!
Should add an On-Board welder to your setup! "Premier power welder" makes some kits. Should hit them up! Not too many people know about these things and you could help revive them
Sometimes when your back goes 'out', lay on the floor and wriggle around keeping your back flat on the floor. The Dr. is Out. Nice welding Rudy. You might try putting the nut on first before cutting studs. Removing the nut cleans up the threads Matt. Some thin rubber under the batteries after painting the Trays.
Love the editing, love the personalities, love the natural comfort on film, wildly hilarious & entertaining! You guys are evolving so quickly towards real showbiz it almost makes me kinda sad. Not saying it's a bad thing. Just.. please never forget your roots, and stay true to yourselves! Thanks for the ride along.
@@chuckpreston4981 Bruh, trust me. while you're not wrong, the entire 'hrrrrrrrrh-click' is an AvE meme. And if you like these videos, you'll _love_ the Great Canuckistani, Unckle Bumblefuck.
You could take a 12v garden misting system and fabricobble it up to the front of the radiator with a 3 or 5 gallon reservoir in the trunk. On demand evaporative cooling without sacrificing any more water bottle caps.
1 simple trick to remember safety glasses that really worked for me. When I was younger than Trevor but a bit older than Rudy I had friend who is a brilliant mechanic. He took glasses off for just moment to look at an invoice and didn't remember to put them back on. 60 seconds later he was blind in 1 eye. Had 1 little girl and another on the way. After watching how hard that was for him I have done better at remembering glasses for 20+ years.
As a guy that has been to the Dr twice to get metal from grinding picked out of my eyes, I'm happy you are wearing safety glasses. Oh, and when you get in your 50's and start wearing reading glasses, get safety glass versions with side shields. Metal working accidents accidents suck, I have the scars and the stories.
Replaced the 4.0 on my 1990 MJ about a month ago after cracking a cylinder wall on a water jacket and blowing the head gasket. So much fun watching you guys struggle with the same things I did upon reassembly!
Matt I really like the way this channel is about friends and family doing a job you all enjoy. Thanks for the videos. My son and I think Rudy is the most prepared of the crew.
Trevor. Your back hurts. For a quick fix back adjustment, jump on the forklift seat. Sit back. Plant you feet on the deck. Reach up to the rollover rack and grab on with both hands. Push back against the seat backrest. You will hear some pops, cracks and flexes. Then tonight take a bag of frozen peas and place them behind your back where it hurts. Swap out the frozen peas with a heating pad every 30 min. Life will be better. I do this every day on our company forklift. My back feels better afterwards. Give it a try.
Good video ! That Radiator Looks like it should handle the Load. ⭐️ Remember to blow the Sand out from between the fins everyday. Just Blow it Backwards with Compressed air. it does not matter How Big your radiator is if its plugged up with sand in between the fins & cannot see daylight through it. same Goes for the Condenser up front for air conditioning. blow out sand. Happy Cooling ! 😁
To get the most from that big radiator, make sure the fan is about 1/3 exposed on the back side with as as close a tip clearance as the engine movement will allow. Also should open up those louvers in the hood. The radiator area and fan are largely wasted if you can’t get the air out of there fast and you have filled much of the path down for the air. Unfortunately with the new cowl air intake the engine,will breath a lot of that really hot air from the louvers costing some HPs, but I guess it is hot air anywhere you get it.
The banana is gonna be awesome. You guys are great fabricators, and Rudy is an awesome welder/fabricator for a young fella. Looking forward to seeing the banana in action!
Every team needs a guy like Trevor and Rudy is just the prodigy he does it all Matt definitely showed him the way and he seemed like he just took off from there! Great job guys!!
I appreciate you taking the over abundance of safety glasses with good humor. It's more the fact that you are a large awesome media channel now. Like it or not you are becoming an example to the next generation inspired by your videos. Would hope that we influence the next generation the right way.
We just got back from the eastern Sierras a couple of weeks ago. I hope you weren't planning on catching fish. All of our usual hot spots resulted in a big skunk! But, on a serious note, a young couple, their child and dog were found deceased in the Sierras a few days ago. They were seasoned mountain climbers who have done the Himalayas, Gobi desert among other places. There is one lake in the Tioga pass, Horseshoe lake, that is considered hazardous due to the air quality surrounding the lake. Mind you, this is many years before all the current fires. Stay safe.
Excellent! Such inventiveness, such Heath Robinson creativity, such talent, such a lot of welding and grinding! Love it guys, Your man in Paris can’t get enough yea!
Love the video! You guys are killing it just wanted to share a Tip for cutting bolts! Screw a nut on it so after you cut and clean it up a bit with a flapper, you can unthread the nut and it helps clean the threads. You can run it on and off to make sure it’s clear.
Great work, it's coming along nicely! Thanks to the viewers for all the safety squints! I never damaged my eyes, just born this way, one eye only sees some light and dark, the other better but not perfect. Means no 3D and no depth perception, so it's great to see that your looking after that!

Ha! We are all human, the glasses change give ya an idea how many vid 'cuts' before it was just right. These PPL are great w/their vids, the field shooter is jumping every second it seems.

The BANANA is getting to the final stretch love the video, it's nice to see Ed every time. Stay safe and healthy thanks 😊
Look forward to seeing the banana all together and working again! It was fun seeing everybody at the Peach Pays parade yesterday! The Morrvair is just as impressive in person!
I love my THOR Cowl Induction!!!! It's a little noisy, and when hard on the throttle and then you let off really quick it smells like fuel sometimes. And at certain throttle percentages it whistles. It's fun to make my dog look all dummy when I hold it just right and make it whistle.
I put an aluminum 3 row radiator in my 1981 f150 and I am amazed how much cooler the water temperature is on my gauge. I am very surprised how good an aluminum radiator works. thank you for sharing.
Very true, but I think Matt will try to do a road test in the next video, assuming he gets it running first, so if any last minute adjustments that may be needed, get done before he officially takes off. I would not be surprised if Trevor gets at least the wiring back enough to put the dash back in, have proper lightage, and at least the front seats in and of course the steering wheel and shifters so they can drive it and be road worthy for the trip and then finish all that when he gets back.
i love how happy matt is using his claw hammer! don't you worry matt i think all of us have used one fabricating at some point or another. people just wanna seem professional on youtube thats why they hating on it. i personally have one in my toolbox for those moment like you had in this video!
Loved the positivity of the returning Boss Man. So happy that safety has become more than a suggestion. You're still going to go through those safety glasses quicker than your average shop, primarily because y'all aren't use to the availability. I would suggest being careful with where you place and store them. To see who loses the most glasses etch names on the temple of the frames or otherwise make them distinctive. Rudy working at a welding shop may have a bit more recent experience in wearing such devices. Love you guys. Just wanna have ya around for years to come.
LOL, I was the same growing up, even found one year the Monopoly game under my parent's bed, LOL, that was before Christmas, and have been able to make an "educated" guess by the not so vague impressions through solid wrapping paper of an album I got, and guessed right. Still, the thrill of getting it was not lost. But my parents were also enterprising enough to surprise me by giving me my Dad's old Ford Fairmont a(POS) by hiding the X type of tire iron in a flat box with rocks to disguise it, and then a similar trick with a 35mm point and shoot Canon camera.
@@Whabligone I figure they mean they have enough for this month, so maybe set an Amazon Subscription to automatically send a single pair once a month? ;)
The way you guys work in the shop was just like I was in the Marine Corps. Get the job done by any means necessary damn the safety. A lot of bumps and bruises but that was about it.
Trevor rockin' the Bubbles safety glasses! Rudy using his to protect his....hat? LOL Kidding aside, it's entertaining and I even learn a thing or two watching you guys work. Thanks for putting up with juggling cameras and tools, and bringing us along.

There is nothing "real" about those "reality" shows. All producer created BS.

Ha! We are all human, the glasses change give ya an idea how many vid 'cuts' before it was just right. These PPL are great w/their vids, the field shooter is jumping every second it seems.
Trevors Rockin’ the sporty eye protection.
Please wear both eye and ear protector. You only got two of each, and you’ll want them working good at 60 or 70 years old.
Next recovery vehicle needs to be a short yellow off-road school bus. Then you can fit the crew in and all can sing "the wheels on the bus.."
Came back to add...then you can also use it for that Tik-Tok "Bus it" challenge
3:52 ... I always cut driveshafts with a pipe cutter .. no need to square up the pipe .. no matter what use use it for
Pickles aid in the reduction of muscle spasms, just an FYI.
We just learned this, and it Really works. We drink the juice at the first sign of a cramp, and no more cramps!
And bananas
@@davidhedberg2732 Ohh yes banananananans
@@ronaldfulton1175 I always drink a large glass of water with 2 or3 Ibuprofen's b4 going to bed, I swear I wake up energetic, a lil bit of a buzz still, and then I start remembering the stupid crap I did... if I say Ahhh Mannn, my wife asks me what I remember...lol
and can almost reverse an oncoming heat stroke. Working construction in an AZ summer , I've seen a few people need the help. Still need to go to the hospital as a precaution, but at least you "Hopefully" wont die on the way there.
Uncle Sam, just love to see all of you wearing PPE it's good for you. The channel is awesome just real people doing work for the BANANA up grade. No drama just reality of life you guys Rock !! The BANANA is getting to the final stretch love the video, it's nice to see Ed every time. Stay safe and healthy thanks 😊
Lady barking (translated): "Hey, Ed, let's go outside and run around."
Ed: "How about no..."
😆
Look forward to seeing the banana all together and working again! It was fun seeing everybody at the Peach Pays parade yesterday! The Morrvair is just as impressive in person!
cant wait to hear that new 6 banger motor run
I love my THOR Cowl Induction!!!! It's a little noisy, and when hard on the throttle and then you let off really quick it smells like fuel sometimes. And at certain throttle percentages it whistles. It's fun to make my dog look all dummy when I hold it just right and make it whistle.
Trevor and Rudy- y’all are fun and FUNNY! Love watching the Banana build ❤️
I put an aluminum 3 row radiator in my 1981 f150 and I am amazed how much cooler the water temperature is on my gauge. I am very surprised how good an aluminum radiator works. thank you for sharing.
Glad it's coming together. A great job as always by Matt and crew!!
Rudy sure does a great job welding and fabricating. You too,Matt. Thanks for another nice video.
Great video, love the build, and cannot wait to see the Banana in action on “The Secret Project” 👍👍👍👍👍
The banana is turning into a sand throwing machine. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family stay safe out there. 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌😊✌
Im so hyped to see this seceret mission already
Put a nut that fits the bolt on and then cut the bolt, you can bevel the bolt a little and then remove the nut 🤞💀
Testing out a brand new build on a secret mission sounds like a recipe for some entertaining content!
Ha- yes,most disasters usually are!! ha. (kidding).
Very true, but I think Matt will try to do a road test in the next video, assuming he gets it running first, so if any last minute adjustments that may be needed, get done before he officially takes off.
I would not be surprised if Trevor gets at least the wiring back enough to put the dash back in, have proper lightage, and at least the front seats in and of course the steering wheel and shifters so they can drive it and be road worthy for the trip and then finish all that when he gets back.
Shenanigans is more like it with fabrats along for the ride!
i love how happy matt is using his claw hammer! don't you worry matt i think all of us have used one fabricating at some point or another. people just wanna seem professional on youtube thats why they hating on it. i personally have one in my toolbox for those moment like you had in this video!
Matt sure loves his claw hammer. Lol.
Also known as the "Tonya Harding". :-)
@@gerfmon1 especially if you’re VGG!
@@gerfmon1 I understood that reference. LOL
Loved the positivity of the returning Boss Man. So happy that safety has become more than a suggestion. You're still going to go through those safety glasses quicker than your average shop, primarily because y'all aren't use to the availability. I would suggest being careful with where you place and store them. To see who loses the most glasses etch names on the temple of the frames or otherwise make them distinctive. Rudy working at a welding shop may have a bit more recent experience in wearing such devices. Love you guys. Just wanna have ya around for years to come.
“Years of Christmas experience “ lol good one!
LOL, I was the same growing up, even found one year the Monopoly game under my parent's bed, LOL, that was before Christmas, and have been able to make an "educated" guess by the not so vague impressions through solid wrapping paper of an album I got, and guessed right. Still, the thrill of getting it was not lost. But my parents were also enterprising enough to surprise me by giving me my Dad's old Ford Fairmont a(POS) by hiding the X type of tire iron in a flat box with rocks to disguise it, and then a similar trick with a 35mm point and shoot Canon camera.
@@johnhpalmer6098
That's gotta be one of the wackiest, miscombobulated stories I've read. lol
Cramps? Staying hydrated during warm weather helps! Look after yourselves Matt’s team!
To whoever the wonderful humans are who overstocked the shop with safety glasses, THANK YOU! Lmao!
That's brilliant, wish I had thought of it ;)
lol... they said no more.... let's send them a few boxes more just for the fun of it
@@Whabligone I figure they mean they have enough for this month, so maybe set an Amazon Subscription to automatically send a single pair once a month? ;)
Matt's of road recovery, Trevor and Rudy. You guys rock. I like the music tune that plays in your videos as well. Good work fellas.😎🇺🇲
The way you guys work in the shop was just like I was in the Marine Corps. Get the job done by any means necessary damn the safety. A lot of bumps and bruises but that was about it.
Trevor rockin' the Bubbles safety glasses! Rudy using his to protect his....hat? LOL Kidding aside, it's entertaining and I even learn a thing or two watching you guys work. Thanks for putting up with juggling cameras and tools, and bringing us along.
If you still have shop classes in the area the boxes of extra safety glasses would be greatly appreciated.
As a mechanic who now wears hearing aids; don't skimp on the use of hearing protection, you'll regret it if you do. Love watching your channel!
Trevor: If you use it on a bolt or spark plug, it's called "Anti-Seize". If you get it in your eyes, it's called "Never Sees".
For those cramps take 500 mg of magnesium. Or drink Gatorade. Take the magnesium before work or right when the cramps start.
