"I've been doing so much with so little for so long that i can almost do anything with nothing" is what matt would say about being underprepared 😂
We're you in the USAF? That was our motto.
..........so little for so long , I now attempt the impossible with nothing !
We the willing led by the unknowing have done so much with so little for so long we are now qualified to do absolutely anything with nothing at all. A common saying in the Oilfields.
@@markthegunplumber8376 That also was a common saying in the telephone company where I worked.
Here at MORR OR LESS PREPARED we aim to get er done son!
Incredible machine you've built there.
I vote for the snowcat as the next project, do it now while you have time and be prepared for next winter.
lol .. we all know Matt will leave it until first snowfall ( whether he wants to or not )
@@888johnmac petition for Tom to goad Matt into doing the snow cat 😂
I think my favorite part about Matt is he likes seeing his team succeed and allows everyone a chance to play.
😮.2..😢
You can definitely hear the difference in the exhaust, especially when you were climbing some of those rock sections. It sounds really good now
I know Rudy has his own channel, but I still miss seeing him on this one, especially when I know he's there.
My guess it we'll see his part in this ride on his channel in a few days.
We need more of Ed teaching Lizzie or anybody else. All of your vehicles are mustard yellow!🤣 Go Kermit.
Hell Ya. Call the Next Vehicle Yellow Mustard Matt. :)
Kermit?
Great to see Ed out helping Lizzy on the saw. That angle at @14.02 is wild!
“That’s gonna save a lotta rabbits.” 😂
The editing on this channel is genius. YT gives higher ranking to videos watched in their entirety, so that’s why they always give us a laugh out loud moment at the very end. Brilliant! 👍
The best thing about Matt, Fabrats, Chad and Rudy is that they are great at reusing and rebuilding. Anybody can buy new , takes a special madman to build these great vehicles.
PLUS, new won't work as good, or as long as a beefed up part!!!
They just don’t build them tough like they used to. The body can actually rip apart. I love old vehicles, tough and real steel.
And hell, Matt doesn't even use math 🤣
@@pipisugboit's called farmers math bro. How much torq can you put down by hand? Dout you even know!! How much torq should you lay down on a spark plug with aluminum heads?
exactly i have a newer vehicle that had electronic injection which has been converted to mechanical injection which is more reliable and take less to run...
Wow, the Banana has become a lot more capable, it does just crawl up really big, steep obstacles now, good job upgrading it MORR Crew. And it is so fun seeing Jefe grinning so big as he wheels his new Bronco...it is obvious how much he loves it. And Jamie is a wheelin' driver, she's getting a lot more brave and confident. Then there's Lizzy...positive stuff, positive stuff, positive stuff, yadda yadda. ;)
Get the snowcat done BEFORE winter comes 😂
isn't common that so many mention 'buying' it instead of you making it but really, what is the fun in that and in the process it;s what you learn on that journey that is so amazing. Keep it up ya'll , your doing amazing things!!! Thank you!!!!
And because of the nature of Matt's businesses (TH-cam content creator) buying a pre made part assembly will actually work out to being more expensive in the long run.
The answer to why don't you buy it is multifaceted. First the poster wouldn't have anything to post about, then they wouldn't have anything to watch, then Matt wouldn't have the YT money to buy the new stuff, so he would HAVE to fix the old stuff. Then the poster could post about it and everyone's happy again.
And besides who would want to watch someone just buying new stuff. That's what makes MORR unique! That's for other TH-camrs.
Having a hoist makes all the difference. Anybody that has spent much time on a creeper will look at a purchase, so they can spend less time having the dirt, grease and grim falling into their face.
Definitely do a maintenance overhaul on the snow cat
Looking at Bronco scraping, bashing and jumping on these rocks, helps to realize how capable Banana, Morrvair and Wrecker are! True beasts! And it's evolving constantly... I'm curious how Bambi will be transformed before winter, I'm sure it will be as cool and capable as the rest of the pack ;)
My Dad would have LOVED this channel.
He took his trucks (and daughters) EVERYWHERE! I loved it!
I like that Tom is full time on the channel. He really adds a lot to the videos ✊🏾
Best reason ever for not buying new: "I enjoy designing and working on things." Your time is money, and video is your source of income. Besides, most of us find it inspiring to watch your out of the box thinking as you solve different problems.
I do have a question for Tom. Why does Matt's eye-crometer cause you so much angst when the engineer's code of precision is to measure with micrometer, mark with chalk, and cut with axe?😂
I'm well aware of the code and you can't skip the first step😄
@@tomtomsshop as the old joke about the mathematician and the ngineer says, it's close enough for all practical purposes. I still think Matt should have to do a project where every measurement is within .001 inches tolerance for running out of gas that day.
It's nice to see Ed getting around 😉
It was really great to see him again and teaching Lizzie the proper way to fix the cord.
Don’t change a thing mate love your videos and your crew you’re very lucky to be able to do the job you do and it shows because every one around you is always happy and looked after. Ed needs some upgrades on his old Ute maybe a quick fix up for the old fella for your next project 👍
It's very cool seeing how you end up optimizing by breaking every part and replacing, extending the use time then waiting for the next thing that breaks. Really the example of tried and true!
I love how the Channel is Matt’s off-road recovery but it’s really about everybody else as well. Matt does an awesome job making sure everyone else gets to drive and be just as much a part of the videos as he is.
Jefe is one cool dude.
Tom is a great addition to the team. I appreciate that you show him respect by calling him Tom rather than Tom-Tom.
Tom-Tom is the term of respect. Nicknames are earned rather than given.
Hey Folks, awesome Q&A and upgrade coverage! Nice to see everyone getting some seat time too.
I’m looking for a spectacular 6x6 rollback. I’d love to see y’all build one. Might be awesome for sand recoveries. Another crazy idea that might be useful is a rotator. Might be very useful pulling vehicles back on the trail from precarious situations.
Tom, Kermit is a talented multifaceted character who is the glue that holds the team together.
Until it was mentioned I didn't notice. Now I can't stop hearing Kermit 😢
Lindsey is what holds this group together. All the others are just fluff
@@robertbates5537 Who is Lindsey? Lol
@Marty's 4x4 that young lady who does all their welding
@Robert Bates Tom welds, but you mean Lizzy. All the others are fluff? I was trying to give a compliment, which you seem to have missed.
Matt, Tom Tom, Lizzy and Ed are a solid team of personalities & technical talent 💛 Love your videos 💛 thank you 😊 not to excluded Jamie, hef, Colby and peanut!!
The memories you are making and knowledge you are passing down are priceless. Keep up the good work.😊
😂 love the humor, and thanks for tackling the questions, I love learning new things :) it’s also fun watching the team developing and being given opportunities to grow. Ed-great to see you around again!
I can't even imagine how excited Milestar is to have Matt as one of their customers as I can't imagine a better advertisement than watching those things crawl up the rocks. They have transformed that XJ into something exceptional and to see it crawl up that first obstacle was incredible.
Yellow Mustard is the BEST. Very healthy food as compared to most other condiments, and delicious… but it’s not for everybody.
I love mustard so much I’ll put it on Sausage McMuffin w/Egg AND the hash browns. Perfect day-starter.
I love the landscapes you drive through and how you gradually develop & evolve the vehicles to cope with it and not break. If you prepare for EVERYTHING you can't get up the hill. As a photographer I look at the magical sky above you. Plus the way light grabs every colour and hits you right in the eye with it. I'm bloody envious at times guys.
So glad to see Lizzy! She is such an incredible role model for the younger generations. Extremely talented and confident while remaining humble and always upbeat and personable.
Way to go!!!
PEOPLE, REMEMBER, Tom is a former Aerospace ENGINEER....he knows the math....they got it under control, quit 2nd guessing them..
Yet can't secure a brake pipe so it dosent get damaged
@Ashley Wright so that automatically means you know more.
@Tex_Gil never managed to sheer a brake line off and loose all brakes 🤷🏻
@@ashleywright1991 ahh gotcha. Well you are a PERFECT specimen of a human being. Our lord did humanity such a favor 😂
@@tex_gil117 our Lord? You really are a nutter go preach to your weird friends
This has to be one of the best videos I’ve seen so far with your fabrication skills your driving skills having all the crew test the vehicle on rugged, terrain seeing Jefe enjoy his new vehicle seeing Ed make an appearance and seeing Rudy join your adventure and yes, we love Lizzy. Thank you for such an enjoyable video this time, especially answering all the questions people have about your operation. It was so educational and thorough.
Agreed, this one was great,... not to take away from other ones, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one hah.
You’re right, it was a good video.
Fix the snowcat while it's summer time! Lol
Matt, my experience has been the most serious injuries of over 100 journeyman workers in the different trades I worked with over the years were those in their 40s and 50s who became cavalier with safety. I myself almost became one of them if it wasn't for a vigilant coworker and there is no question I would be dead or severely disabled. I don't want to see you joining that group, but based on your videos, I wouldn't be surprised to see you in a eye patch or with a serious hand injury in the next couple of years. A 58 year old lead carpenter just lost all 4 fingers on his dominant hand last week at my brothers job so it is on my radar. Sorry to be a downer but I really like you and your videos and hope to see many many more in the future with you fully functional. Touch your safety sign every morning and embrace it! As Joe Walsh has sung so many times "Life's been good so far......"
I can’t understand why would anyone want to buy something if you CAN build it yourself. It’s not always about saving money it’s about being able to say and see something you built with your own hands and own team. So well done Matt and team! Keep building stuff I know I enjoy watching and wishing I could do even half the stuff you guys can build. And I agree Lizzy is awesome! 😄
Don't you just love it when all the "experts" tell you your doing something wrong? They've probably never fabricated a vehicle in their lives.😅
Yup, you can spot the armchair keyboard experts that have NEVER actually done a thing in real life other than watch videos right away just from their comments,, while it's nothing compared to the Banana,, my 98 zj grand cherokee is built as far as I feel nessacary,, it is after all just a daily driver,, tho a quite capable one,,
People are crazy. Like CRAZY. Tom or Matt could do one thing wrong and all of a sudden they don't know what they are doing at all and are a danger to everyone. Like dude calm down and go buy some feet pics on feet finder or whatever your hobby is 😂.
@@tex_gil117 👍👍
@@edzimdahl1158 👍👍
I have always said that Lizzy was awesome, because she is. And on top of her many skills she is just a sweet down home country cowgirl whit a kind heart and a humble, sunny disposition. Lizzy is just great. But that can be said for everyone there at MORR. It is also great to see Ed out of his brace and looking better. Everyone there please have a wonderful weekend, God bless you all.
Hi Rudy, We saw you there!🤠😁 Best to you and Jennell too.
I just love your videos, Matt. You have an awesome team, and I appreciate the way that you treat everyone. Early this morning, I felt that if it was possible for us to move to your country, to enjoy what you're doing. I'm also not very healthy, but looking at dear Edd, my health could only benefit, by being a bystander in your beautiful team. I love the vehicles that you build. Here in South Africa, we can only dream of a Yukon difflock for my 1998 Land Rover Discovery v8. If I could have one wish today, it will be to join your family. My sincerest regards to all you beautiful loving people 😢❤😊 let me also admit, Lizzy is an awesome young lady 🌹
Love that you went from “shall we retire the banana” to now upgrading it so it is even more awesome and helpful to your business
Wow, Ed showed her how to fix the cord right. My grinder still has a duct taped cord from 20 years ago. LOL
Living in Edmonton Alberta Canada I can honestly tell you all my battery packs freeze have froze unintentionally. It happens at -48. I can’t tell the difference
I watch SO MANY THINGS FROM YOU AND YOUR CREW!!! I think you guys are THE BEST!!! You and Jayme are so GOOD TOGETHER and we are Kent II & Jamie. I Pray Gods Blessings for you and your family Matt and your entire crew🙏🇺🇸
The Banana now has a mellow roar to declare its presence. It is neat to see a variety of vehicles tackle the features of Sand Hollow. Each one takes one step just a little bit different than the others. This Banana is tops! The original unique off-road rescue vehicle.
I am very proud of Jamie. Her off road driving skill has gotten to be awesome. She is not nearly as scared as she was.
I'm scared just watching the videos. The bananna is 45+ and they haven't abandoned the vehicle nor attached the winch, is amazing.
I agree, yellow mustard has to be the grosses thing ever!!!
I have a small jar of white lead marking compound for setting up differentials, I used it sparingly because I hated the new stuff . I made that jar last 10 years.
Matt's final comment at 22:07 nearly had me choking on my coffee! 🤣🤣
My suggestions to you...Keep being yourself. Quit worrying about what commentators want. Do not change what your doing to appease the haters/lovers.
As your fans we found your channel in some way or the other and have hung around for some reason. That is a good thing for any youtuber to have. Because as long as you have people watching, commenting and/or liking/disliking the videos, it gets pushed higher up the suggestions list.
Do whatever you feel like doing. What you do is your choice. We will still be here doing whatever it is that we do as fans/haters no matter what.
Agreed and as someone who's followed the channel from virtually the beginning, I find it frustrating when so much time is given over to appeasing the absolute miniscule number of people who are leaving negative comments. The world spends too much time worrying about these people, and I'd prefer that you not feel like you have to do so. To me, it's telling me that they are more valuable than the rest of us who don't complain and that is all it says to me.
@Chuck Hickl oh yeah I agree people complaining in because of the lack of ppe I do get.I personally get so tired of the comments constantly complaining about protectI've equipment.. It's your personal decision whether or not you want to wear protective equipment. A lot of times people don't realize It can get in the way And get you hurt worse.
@@ChuckHickl I love the "Tongue in cheek" owning of these pompous a$$es that post their drivel like anyone cares.
I can understand caring posts suggesting "Eye protection" or protection from welding radiation...
Yeah.....What Duane said.....
Y’all next project could be helping finish my Jeep.
Hi Matt, I would love to see a comparison of the Banana's capabilities from 3 or 4 years ago compared to now. Perhaps even redo some of the "sketchy" or failed obstacles from back then.
The exhaust on the banana is perfect. It comes through a phone speaker really well.
I love how much Jefe is loving pushing his Bronco on these trails!
That was a fun video of working in the Banana and wheeling it. I worked up an apatite just watching it. I'm going to make a yellow mustard sandwich, on white bread. Man, I love yellow mustard sandwiches sooo much!! I Love any kind of mustard, it's just not right to go through a day without eating something with yellow mustard on it, I'm not even sure it's legal!!
It looks like it’s doing well and that leads to more companies making parts
I think it need bigger tires. I'm just glad to see a Ford that's not being recovered. lol
Yes, Lizzy rocks - and so does Jamie too :-) Also nice to see Ed in vigour.
Keep the videos coming! You have a great and talented crew. It looks really fun working on and testing out all the new upgrades.
It's good to see Ed back and involved. Thank you for explaining what you're doing. Some of the suggestions fans offer show a lack of knowledge/experience but that comes with the territory when your videos are exposed to the world. Keep up the good work and wear your seat belts.
I do like the wrecker, and I can't blame you for using it, but from this side of TH-cam (watching) I do enjoy watching the Morrvair and Banana pull a David and conquer Goliath on occasion.
Matt, you dont have to explain yourself. It's like you have hundreds of armchair supervisors. They need to watch and enjoy the video.
You are also being a armchair supervisor...
D Kirk, you took the words out of my mouth totally agree.
Sure, he doesn't "have to" interact with his audience, but he likes to keep his viewers happy, and returning to his channel.
@@AFloridaSon Good point.
Amen there’s some truly ignorant people out there
with the snow cat my only thought was "he wants to replace everything except the frame and the tracks!"
engine to small, cab to small, tires some proprietary things you probably want to move away from, steering not what you want...
it's amazing that even with all that it still was able to work mostly well! and i'm here for the overhaul!
I def agree that it's much more fun to kludge something together that works and doesn't owe anything to anyone except you!
the fact you guys can use old iron for your cabs just gives you such a cool look about your stuff.
I've got an old six cylinder Jeep that I'm getting ready to work on and I love hearing that "six cylinder music" coming through the exhaust, I've long enjoyed straight sixes, just so clean and even. The banana really looks and sounds great strolling through.
Good to see Ed looking well and sharp as a tack in his guayabera shirt. Also good to see Lizzy back more frequently. Had been missing her. That Banana is one mean crawling machine now.The way it effortlesly cruises up those rocks makes it look like it's being winched. Outstanding!
I have 2 guayabera shirts and I love them.
Great upgrade for the Banana, Matt. It is an amazingly capable vehicle.
So I have recently seen Jaimey drive a Rollback, the Wrecker and now
the Banana on tough trails. What a genuine Treasure She is!!
Great to see Ed up to his old self and really enjoy seeing Rudy out with
his family. Be Safe in your endeavors!!
Thanks for taking the time to answer/respond to some of the more popular questions. Love that you take the time to do engage the viewers.
Nice one! Thanks for taking the time to answer those comments and questions.
Banana is the real OG
Yes, and you can build what YOU want instead of the car manufacturers building what THEY THINK you want. Yours will be better too.
The snowcat deserves a real upgrade and you will thank yourself next snow season!
Why did people hate seeing you set up gears previously? I like everything y’all do!
I’m looking forward to seeing the exhaust fixed on the heavy wrecker. My vote for next project👍
You just showed me why we don't need a bunch of new stuff. I love watching y'all put it together and make it work like it should.
Matt just tell the truth, you love what you do, and the people you do it with! Your a Good man!
17:15 OK, I am REALLY impressed. I always figured those were all for show. 🙌🏻
It makes me happy to see the amount of effort that goes into the exhaust note! Nothing better than the sound of a good exhaust.
If your not sure what your next project is, your more than welcome to install that exhaust and lockers on my XJ.🤣😂
Amazed at how well your vehicles handle the terrain. Really enjoyed the clip of Ed and Lizzy fixing the saw. Really glad to see Ed out and about without the neck brace.
Taking the banana out and going thru the technical difficulties of the obstacles is a great addition to your videos !
Well done 👍
For sure and to remember it will be dragging a trailer most likely.
I think a good future project would be to find another XJ and build it with everything you've learned on the Banana and possibly power it with a 5.7 Hemi, if one will fit. I think a good name for it, considering Matt's distaste for yellow mustard, would be Colonel Mustard.
Agree, and implement the knowledge of the bomb proof Morrvair! 🖒👌yesss, good WCTARHEEL, gooood! Now do it!
I think the engine they have is actually pretty ideal, the way they’ve built it up. I don’t know the weight comparison between the straight six and a 5.7 Hemi but I know that weight is always a big consideration, as is low end torque, which the straight 6 has. That being said, I’m happy to watch any build.
I love your answers, but there's another! You build this stuff as a TH-cam content provider - Putting in a new axle is what others do. You built a business doing this stuff! Of course, that's what you will do!
Every shop should have yellow mustard in the fridge. It's great for taking the sting out of minor burns.
Thanks for addressing so many comments!! I love the variety in the questions AND answers!!
Oh, and good to see Rudy in this one!!!
The "O.G. Banana" 🍌 is still my All-Time favorite vehicles In the Matts-Off Road line -up!!!!!
You are right Lizzie is awsome, a young lady of many talents. It seems anything she turns her hands to turns out fantastic.
You're very right on that. I would really like to see her on her horse, handling cattle too.
Lizzy should build a Rig...
I am very impressed, you chose to rewire the chop saw and not spice the cord, Go Team MORR!
They don’t make ANY new vehicle as good as the rigs you have Matt! Definitely all of them are awesome and built very tough and perfect for all the jobs that you all do!
Great to see the down to earth video's, seeing you restore classic cars and use them in your operation.
A big thank you to Matt and the MORR family for the great content. The only chanel that I watch on a regular basis. Have a great weekend all and stay safe.
It's also really cool to see the evolution of these old rigs, it makes for good entertainment!
Totally agree
Enjoyed the question/answers today. Thanks for another great video!
Love the sound of that new exhaust!
All the fun is in the ‘journey’ of the build. That’s what builds a good story with all the hilarious moments! Keep up the good work MORR!
THAT is simply THE BEST sounding straight six I have ever heard. Nice job, MORR Team!!!!
I think I would have used a HUSH THRUSH !!!!
Imo sounds worse with the new temporary exhaust 😀
Such grand adventures! We look forward to every next video. My husband has a line he speaks at the end of every video, "I wanna drive the Banana!" 😂
Ok Matt, how about a contest to win a chance to drive it ??? This could be a great fundraiser. I'll be 1st to buy a ticket.
I like they way you share your toys by letting Colby drive.
Matt and Gang, you have built an incredibly capable fleet of vehicles! Congrats and keep up the great work.
For me (a retired master mechanic), I love the fabrication work. Keep doing what you do. It's impossible to please everyone.
Great to see Mr Ed in your videos again! You need to get him out on a small recovery with you guys. We miss his weather reports.
I’ve always liked the tone of your exhaust when under pressure. They seem quiet till pulling and climbing. Great work.
Also we love Lizzy!
Glad to see Ed get involved in the saw fix.
I just recently started following this channel and it is actually one of my favorite to watch. Very informative and entertaining.. cheers Matt
Way cool video - the upgrades to the banana worked great.
I love Jaime too - I'm glad she got to crawl the fruit can up those hills.
I really look forward to watching your videos. What makes your operation so top notch is you are more than a skilled team but a big caring family 😊 .
"why dont you buy parts" .. because then we would all miss out on watching the fantastic builds .. keep building Stuff please. Also loved the Q&A, good for you to be able to explain why you do things the way you do
Luv Lizzy, she is an absolute gem! She reminds me of the airplane assembly girl with the overalls and headscarf flexing her arm muscles in the that famous WWII poster!
