Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
As a retired television production tech, my opinion of whomever does the editing of these videos is that he's pretty darn good at his job.
English teachers: whomever or whoever? Thanks.
I agree, I think they have a full time video editor now
@Piyath I thought it was Randy and the drone pilot?
editing is an acquired skill and yes someone here has skills.
Maybe the editor is a she.
We were very good at changing gears on the truck, when we finished we had 5 reverse gears and one forward gear.
Ha !!! Cheers
Just rotate the seats 180°
You mean like an Italian tank in WWII
🤣 Some guys workin on tractors have done the same thing.
Nah, you just mistakenly installed a French tank transmission.
Rudy: "That bearing was still hot, wasn't it!"
Matt: "Nope. It just didn't take me very long to look at it."
As previous videos show, Matt does for some reason like to touch hot surfaces
@@kenleppek I've heard some people like to learn from their mistakes. I'm not sure, though - it might be just a myth.
@@DaddyBeanDaddyBean seems to be these days
Best part of Sunday morning is a dose of "Matts Off-road" and "Fab Rats"
For sure!
And two girls D cup
Yep
Its Monday here
Anybody know if The rats built the flatbed on the white Tacoma? Is there video of it? I want to design a similar bed for a 3/4 ton .
We gotta make sure we "Maysure" these shims 👌😎
ok good it wasn't just me. Thanks Cory.
Yep, maysure twice, cut once.
My step dad does same thing, and says “warsh” instead of wash😂😂
midwest accent this is anyone from montana to northern arizona
I used to work with these brothers from Kentucky and that's the way they said measure. The would also say "hit it with your purse" if someone was not hammering hard enough.
Probably too late but Precision Transmission has a TH-cam channel that goes into great detail on assembling a rear end. It is complicated. They are good guys running a small local shop out of Amarillo. They know as much about transmissions as you do about recovery. You will enjoy watching Richard.
Thanks!!!! I'll definitely be watching them.
I know that Matt and I are big fans of Precision Transmission. Hopefully we can work with them on a future project.
Thanks Marc! I just subscribed.
Trent and Richard build awesome transmissions and gear swaps including my 700R4 and 4.56 gears. Glad to see a shoutout to a local shop.
Precision Transmission is amazing.
He can tear down a transmission in minutes,, and make it look easy.
Much respect to you for setting up your own gear sets. It's a tedious process and your results directly reflect your patience level.
I love the honesty, no bull. When you aren't quite sure what you are doing but know enough to be dangerous.. Honest about how many times it took to get the shims right, awesome
Perfect Sunday morning now has gotten a whole lot better.
Oh yeah
It's evening over here... Helooooo❤️❤️❤️
Cant wait til the virgin recovery for the corvair. Hope it blows away expectations.
Did we ever get a final weight?
@@chuckstith838 no cause the covair obviously isnt done yet.
It's a TowVair now. Just add a few MattYankum ropes and send it!
I think whoever’s the beneficiary of the Corvair’s first recovery needs to get a special, one-off t-shirt and a glass of bubbly (or maybe just a cold one)!
Those are damn good looking hammer for in the garage. Watching you pull out those claw hammers was tough.
Some people go to church on Sunday morning and some of us watch Matt and the crew work... Amen to both! Stay safe everyone!
Some do both!
Church on Sunday is a scam.
I enjoy both!
AMEN to that!
Or watch matt in church...
i still smile every time i see the diff pumpkin .. wagon is going to be awesome when it's put to use
"This isn't a how too video. This is a how not too video." Kept running through my head when your hand-crometer checked the pinion drag.
@Kim Andersen If you've built diffs before you'll have an idea what good drag feels like.
I kinda shook my head at air hammering the bearings off. Reminds me of when I was a kid & lacked the right tools for the job.
Yeah... it's not "old school" either... its just rough, bearing splitters and pullers are not some new fandangled thing that only young fellas use. Apart from they are like 50 bucks ya spend once and have till the day ya die.
@@tulipcritter2375 you’ve got an inch pound calibrated hand? This why I’m always fixing hack jobs.
@@AnonyMous-jf4lc I was a heavy equipment mechanic for 45 years, and I always rotated the pinion by hand to check the rotating torque. Never had one fail. I do however have a dial indicator for checking backlash.
@@Rat-Builder The "I've never had one fail" is because they aren't bringing it back to you. Every single technician has had things fail. Sometimes it was your fault, sometimes it's a bad part, sometimes it's random. There isn't a ton of room for error on bearing preload. I've seen a lot of diffs destroyed because someone thought they could feel what was correct. The pinion is the easiest to correctly set, so why wouldn't you? Even the Dana axles with shims are quick to get right. The fact that you even had to state you did at least one thing correct tells me all I need to know.
I didn't subscribe to this channel to watch a "build" show, but dang it, I'm enjoying these episodes. And I'll tell you why. It's like being a kid watching your old man and his friends work on the car. He'd say things like "I don't have the right tool for this, but we'll see if we can't make this work."
It's a pleasure watching people work with out them trying to prove to you that their the best.
Brought me back to childhood with that torque wrench. Haven’t seen a beam style torque wrench in 25+ years! Didn’t think anyone used those anymore. Lol.
Thanks for the weather update Ed... when you say "we'll get em out" ... this time it means the gears !
Who needs a dial indicator when you have a eye-crometer...😂😂👍👍
Lol...
News paper
One of my favorite of your build videos. Went into enough detail to explain it but not so much as to make it a sleeping aid.
Remember when spike tv had 4x4 tv on Sundays Matt's off road reminded me of the good tv growing up 🤟🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Just a small tip about bearings, find a deep fryer, and heat the bearing up in hot oil. Been there, done that. They go on easily and it is better than taking a chance on ruining the bearing with a torch and heat stick. Love the Corvair by the way....
What kind of batter would you recommend I dip them in first?
@@ianjohnston8057 You don't want hot batter on your balls.... in the bearings I mean lol
@@doublel7337 Don't threaten me with a good time
@@ianjohnston8057 I'll try not to, but it's hard lol
I had a single 120 volt heater that you use to heat 1 cup of boiling water. I used that with 90# and heated all bearings that way from then on.
You put a pipe in the pumpkin's mouth, how quaint :P Nice to see this thing finally coming together :)
"hang on, we've got bigger fish to fry". What I say to 90% of my kids complaints. Spoken like a true dad 😂
4:21. Awww doggie all curled up!
Ed always know what's going on and enjoys watching you guys learn more and more each day.👍
Sounds like you need to make a call lol Paul is waiting!. Have a wonderful day from Beautiful Colorado
Matt, you are a very smart fella.
I'm glad you figured out to bore out the bearings. I was going to comment to do that before I saw that. Nice job.
Thank you Matt and the whole crew for another great video! I think my favorite thing about you is that you are not afraid to admit your not an expert or know exactly what you are doing. But you always persevere and get the job done! I Can't wait to see that Corvair put to work.
I like using a toaster oven for bearings so I can get even heat and to be sure I dont go over 250 so I dont mess with the heat treatment.
Closer and closer! Thanks for sharing, stay safe.
I have no idea what they’re doing but I enjoy watching that they are so knowledgeable about it
Today on Matt’s offroad and recovery matt messes with things he probably shouldnt, and the grace of god saves him as usual
Great job guys! Doing gears is one of my worst nightmares as it just takes a lot of patience of which I have very little. So congrats on getting that done!
Ford and the damn crush sleeve on the 8.8 rear ends, I always buy 2 cause I never get it right the first time.
"So congrats on getting that done!" *sips Dr Pepper*
Diff gears are easy peasy.
I hear ya . I've only done maybe close to 20 installs. If I can't get things right after 3 tries , I'll wait a week and come back to it. Obviously, if your working on a customers vehicle , just force it in and call it a day. Lol
Im in beaver utah picking up my ford f150 from anytime towing ran into a girl names madison that was recovered by you , She over heard me bragging about you , 2 weeks ago i called you guys John gave me good advice very happy I called rhank you guys god bless!
We used to heat our bearings by setting them in hot oil for a few minutes.....it made for a great sweat fit.
Can't wait to see this thing do some crawling and recovery.
So cool watching the gears being installed.
Matt is a master mechanic and Lizzie is learning the trade, The others do their respective duties well. This is great channel and I enjoy every minute of it no matter what they are doing.
My father is 93 years old. He had an auto mechanic shop for 50 years. He loves every one of your videos. Thank you for bringing him joy by watching your videos, he especially loves the golden nugget ones.
Genuinely love this series
I put myself through college working with diffs and I have to say this was a little diff-icult to watch.
no dial indicator was used :(
@@JV220 You're joking, right? Initial setup of a differential is crucial to it's performance and longevity. Even though I know how I'd let a diff shop monkey around with my stuff because they do it all day every day. You don't just eye ball and ball park setting up a new diff. But when it blows up I'll watch and enjoy that video too.
@@mcombsemail Same. When I saw the air hammer I cringed. Bearing pullers...right tool for the job......diffs really aren't something to just try out and hope for the best. I just feel bad knowing this is a waste of money bc it won't last. Bummer but live and learn. Still love the channel though as well, haha.
No crush sleeve?
I would never feel comfortable with out temp gauges routed to the dash
if it doesn't make noise and has a stable temp it will live ...heat is the enemy
From the first time you guys showed it in the yard to now it's really amazing how far it's come. Can't wait to see it completed.
You are the engineer Matt! I just r and r. No modifications for me. I know enough to diagnose and fix.
You know Fab-Rats is your go to! Plus that would allow Paul to be close to even! PS loved the calibration of the lash measurement.
I taught my girls how to do a little welding and wrench on a few things growing up, but they didn't get anywhere near the education that Lizzy's getting. Great job!!!
Also that 90° makes it look like the pumpkin is smoking a pipe 👍👍👍
Man I love this channel, it’s great entertainment while also gives advice and tips for recovery and how to not get stuck. On top of it you and fab rats both do work on your vehicles which has taught me so much about my own. Keep it up, I remember when I first saw your channel on my recommendations and it was when it was still small. It’s awesome to see the support from you and from your fan base to you. Thanks a ton!
You have raised Rudy perfectly what a help.
Not a lot of kids like him now a days unfortunately.
@@MrWiseinheart Get out of the cities, and you will see many many more. Large cities suck the life and common sense out of people.
Matt's honesty is admirable, and his skills aren't bad either, lol, thanks for sharing guys.
15:33 I like the pumpkin face on the pumpkin gearbox
Instead of a torch, I would use a shop oven and then maybe a torch to get the last bit of expansion if needed. That's just me and your way worked. Enjoyed watching.
Two words: Set-up Bearings. That job is so much easier with a bearing puller and set up bearings. Love the videos.
I came down to the comments to say this. Setup bearings are well worth it.
[EDIT] LOL, just needed to watch the rest of the video. He used setup bearings on the front.
Curious, are there enough variances in bearings to where you'd still be off, or are they generally within tight enough specs that with a quality bearing set, you're ok?
Keep the custom bearings for future setup bearings
Good job guys, and checked box! Glad to see my Hawty Rudy in 90% of the video, that SMILE!
Matt and Company-I love your videos, I love listening to you discuss and describe what things are and what you are doing. I hear the words but, in truth, I don't understand what you are saying. It doesn't matter though, because I just enjoy listening to all of you do things together. You are all a joy to "hang out" with, even just virtually. Please continue...
I regeared my F150 both rear and front and it was a pain in the butt but well worth it can’t wait to have lockers
Didn't do the lockers when u re geared ? Oof
@@w0wnoothernames Naa man I wish I could but didn’t have the $$$. Maybe later
Yukon is a third party purchaser. What that means is that a lot of store fronts don't but enough volume from say Spicer to get the price down. Yukon builds a list of people like this then they put in a large purchase order for optimal pricing. Then resells them to the people on their list with a small mark up. All this is drop shipped to the customer so the actual Yukon I think is actually a couple of offices with no warehouse which is how they make money. The reason for explaining this is so those who don't know now know that everything from Yukon is coming from the big brand manufactures like Spicer, Eaton and so on. Unless things have changed recently there should be no cheap china junk. This should be all the good stuff made in the U.S.A.
My favorite part of your post was the last two sentences.
@@Mr.Mopar.23-7, unfortunately the KEY word to notice is MAY.
Democrats use that word as well as could, might, etc to LIE their asses off.
How you liking your $3.00 gas and the new war in Syria?
I’ve bought lots of Yukon gears , lockers and master rebuild kits for off-road and drag race applications as wells as street vehicles. usually come with timken bearings (made in USA) And I’ve never seen a gear set or carrier etc not come packaged / labeled by Yukon. However the incorporated address is that of Randy’s ring and pinion / Randy’s world wide auto (10411 airport rd Everett wa 98204) so who knows but it’s always good stuff
Man I was getting ready to comment on the fluid level and BAM Matt does it again, simple solutions are my fav... Great video, keep up the good work!!!!!
Love the progress reports. I find this all amazing. I want to see the MORRVAIR and Dar’s Fab Rats Jeep out on the trails. 👍👍👍👍👍
Here’s my obligatory Sunday morning coffee and Corvair comment! Keep up the good work!
You need to make a kick ass reveal when this beast is released to the trails!!
its amazing how much detail is involved in all his, Thanks for putting it all on You Tube!
Great team work gentlemen and lady!!! God bless y’all!!!
wtf? i started smelling differential oil while watching this. you really make me feel like i'm there!
That’s smart making a sacrificial set of bearings just so I can go in and out easier and keep the same tolerances
I wish I had a father like Matt to learn from and work with ,you fellers are lucky to have each other and ed is awesome grand dad to hang out with.
Matt, I’m loving where you’re channel is going. You’re editing skills have gotten great. I remember the video you did when you felt like giving up. Keep em coming, awesome content 👍🏼
I like how the dog made a cameo appearance, both times taking a nap
It wouldn't surprise me to much if the dogs lived better than the owner.
Hey y'all hope your having a amazing Sunday today :) enjoying some Matt's offroad recovery with a nice cup of coffee
I look forward to this segment weekly.
Thank you and I am.
I had the same thing on my dana 70 about six months ago, Bought a Carrier off face book, Brand new old stock. Good thing I had a lathe and some stock with a surface plate and height gauge. Still working.
Getting closer & closer to the Corvair's first recovery ! Awesome !
When all else fails.., Call the Fab Rat, he owes you for towing him out,
These guys are long term besties, I sincerly expect they are way past keeping score. 👍
@@richardelliott9511 me too, I have no reason to think otherwise, you can see by the way they interact with each other
@@IR-nq4qv both of these guys conduct themselves in a manor which I can only hope to aspire to.
@@richardelliott9511 I think we can both agree, if everyone acted like these guys, it would be fun to get out of bed in the morning
@@richardelliott9511 What`re you nuts??? bwahaha They live to get one up on each other so they can razzz.
Make sure you have a pinion seal in there 😂👍
Now who could you be referring to 🤣
Boys boys boys. Carrier jig starts with pulling the pin, finding a 3/4 all thread rod 36” long, some coupler nuts, and grade 8 or higher washers in the right diameter to sit on the carrier housing axle portal. From there you should be able to figure out how to press and pull carrier bearings with ease. I’ve also adapted the same jig for a pinion by welding the old pinion nut(NEVER REUSE) to one end of said 3/4 coupling nuts to extend the pinion threads via all thread so a second coupler nut, a washer, and pipe could line up on the all thread to press pinion bearing.
Glad to see the gloves getting some use.
I always say there’s a right way a wrong way & my way 😂
My dad always says "there's the easy way, the hard way, and my way- which makes the hard way look like the easy way."
I love watching you guys, but this was extremely painful to watch
I’m glad to see there is someone else that will work harder by not removing the tie rod because we are a little lazy. Makes me feel better. Took me forever to get my lockers right. Can’t wait to see the finished product! What an awesome job by the guys!!!
I believe that the key to Matt’s business success is undoubtedly due to his genial, friendly and kind personality. People just like to deal with Matt.
just getting here before 1,000 s of others and less than 20 Comments , I can live with that :) , Still can´t wait for the first real drive or tow in the dunes ..
I see matts off road recovery... I watch im a simple man
Me too. He built a vehicle from scratch. No computers required, just some common sense. Matt uses common sense in fabrication AND recoveries.
Rudy’s “cousin Eddy” hat is awesome!
Been waiting for this video since the one tire fire burnout!!! That rig is coming together great!
Rudy: **Looking at micrometer confidently**
Me: "I always see those...I wonder how you use them"
Rudy: "I have no idea how to read these"
Every now and again Matt you do something that makes me think "hmm, not just a pretty face is he?" A lot of mechanics wouldn't know how to lap a diff and will through their entire career without doing one. Not many who can design, build and then set up a fabricated suspension system either, especially using string lines and squares.
Me, I would have gone for ARB Airlockers rather than a Detroit style of locker, I like the control I have over when they are in and when they are out, no sudden surprises.
Get a room! Lol.
It's coming along GREAT.. what a BEAST. Going to love seeing it recover. And the looks you are going to get..some youger folks never ever seen a Corvair.. not common like an XJ :- ) Awesome !!
This was a nice addition to my Sunday morning, I'm old school too Matt I take expert advice to get that nitch then do it my way, the LS wagon is coming along great 😉👍
Matt you burning your hands again when you just torched it, lol.
Wow! I remember the first rear end I ever did.
I have good news and bad news.
First the good news: It will either work.
Bad news: Or it won't.
Love the videos, keep them coming …. please ;)
It's incredible all the effort that's behind that vehicle, thanks for sharing Matt!
So much attention (LOVE) on whole build.
That machine is going to be A-1. Impressive work!!
Love to see Lizzie learning and doing new things. She’s a keeper!
Just enough time to watch this before church! 😁
Looking good. Can’t wait for see the next one. Keep up the hard work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Thanks Matt. I enjoy watching you and Fab Rats. You both have different ways to accomplish the same thing. Both are good ways. I is alot the way I do my wrenching. Keep up the good work and good ideas. I have a Matts yankum rope in order. Thanks for the youtubes.
Gears, Lockers, Bearings, blah blah blah, We just wanna know did you fix the check engine light in the bananna yet???
🤣😂👍
(figured it was overdue to give you crap about that 😁)
If he built his jeeps diffs. and they still running strong with all the hammering he does on them then I would say he knows what he is doing.
I wish I had half the knowledge as you guys and was lucky enough to have a dad that could teach me half as much as Matt has taught Rudy. While Matt was teaching Rudy something useful I was learning how to weigh and sell drugs definitely something I’m glad I’ve never used in life. I’d much rather know how to do some fab work. Matt did encourage me to spend a thousand dollars and buy a welder setup to start teaching myself on and I’m getting pretty good (okay halfway descent) good enough to build my daughter stuff and hopefully teach her one day. I have much more to learn hopefully I’ll get a plasma cutter this month I definitely under estimated the amount of practice and knowledge it takes to be good at welding. Matt deserves a dad of a lifetime award or something I don’t even know him and I look up to him and hope to be like him one day.
Ahhh, setup bearings......such a simple thing that saves so much frustration. I used to have sets for a variety of axles when I worked at an off road shop
