    Couple of small nits: split lock washers go under the nut, not the bolt. On the skid plate (and any other similar location, the bolt should come from above so that if a nut does come off, the bolt remains holding. When the bottom shock bolts came off (previous video), they should be reinstalled with a castle nut and a cotter pin. Start using nylock nuts, MilSpec AN-365 type when you don;t want things vibrating off. You guys do really good work, keep it up. (edit for spelling)

    I just want to thank you for your videos. I live in snowy west Michigan, and my driveway is terrible when it gets snowy. Today, my wife slid off the driveway and got stuck. Noatter how.much we didn't dig her out helped, but because of what I've learned watching your videos, I was able to yank her out in no time with just my little Subaru Outback. It was nothing like what you guys do, but I knew exactly what to do from watching you guys. I just have an old fashioned tow rope, rather than a MORR Rope, but it got the job done! I truly appreciate the amount of time and effort you put into creating these videos! They're entertaining AND educational!

    I used to work at Teraflex and I hand built A TON of those joints over the years that I worked there. If you don't seat those clips in properly, the whole thing can fall apart or get chewed up when under the vehicle. We used to assemble them under a hydraulic press, but those clips were always the worst part. I can't even guess how many C clip pliers we went through each week.
    P.S. - Ed is so nice. I love seeing him around on the channel. Reminds me a lot of my grandfather that lived the final years of his life in Southern Utah.

    54' 🤔... In 1952 the EX-122 concept car, which had been in development since 1951 and is the first of the hand-built Corvettes, is officially named “Corvette” after a type of fast warship. GM used the “EX” codes to name the EXperimental vehicles before they received a definitive name. Sports car aficionado and GM Vice President Harley Earl is the major force behind the design and development of the vehicle. Together with Bob McLean Earl formed a team that would be responsible for realizing the EX-122. On January 10, 1953, the Corvette concept car debuts at GM Motorama in New York City.

    i cut vents into the inner fender near the firewall on my XJ on driver and pass sides, then cut a vent into the outer fender and built a "splash guard" out of some sheet tin to keep dirt/debris from flying up under the hood through the vents, also my XJ was missing the inner fender skirts, i also wired my Electric fan with a relay wiring the computer control through the NC side of the relay, and the N/O going to the battery via a 40Amp breaker so i can flip a switch in the cab and override the electric fan to run on command, great for extended idling, or i can leave the switch in "off" (no labeled Auto) which leaves the fan under computer control so it operates as normal, and i've had zero overheat issues with my '91 after doing that mod. i did however upgrade the mechanical Fan clutch to a TJ fan clutch and modified it for tighter lockup, then i upgraded the stock "boat paddle" electric fan for the "s-curve" fan for a '96+. honestly i prefer the XJ for building a reliable trail rig, and mine gets more use as a work vehicle/support vehicle than i get to use it as a "play around" vehicle any more, love the build matt, its cool to see you take your R&D that went into the Banana to build Robby a sweet capable rig, and getting some cool ideas for maybe future upgrades to the banana, i'm also going to have to consider some frame stiffners when i do my next upgrades on my xj, seems like a good way of doing 'cheap insurance' so to speak to make sure future problems don't just "pop up"

    Dude. What's half of 30? What's half of 3?. Add them together.
    It's ok - My dad taught me to break #'s down into manageable parts about 45 years ago.
    1,567 divided by two? 750 + 33.5 = 783.5 -OR to MULT - 783.5 x 3 = (700x3)2100 + (80x3) 240 + (3.5x3) 10.5 = 2,350.5 For dividing / multiplying by 2-3-4 it works good. Start to break down with 5 and above. Clif Clavin here. I'm compelled to share this when anyone struggles is simple math.
    Despite everyone having a calculator in their pocket these days, it's handy for when you dont. I'm 'm sure there are even better math tricks, but thats the one I use.
    I love this channel. Being Real enough to publish that clip is Gold.
    And Matt: How can what you're doing to Deja' be "wrong"? Doubt it. You've got a bigass yellow prototyping rig / beta test unit in your yard that's been thru the ringer. I presume you've broke most everything that's gonna break on that, so Deja is already getting the result of that knowledge. (I know you were just being humble when you said it..)

    I like the look and spec of those Milestar tires, was going to use them on my 97 XJ crawler, but the old motor is weak, and the Milestar are very heavy. Went with Cooper Tires. About 10 pounds less per tire. A lot of rotational weight. So if tire weight (lack of engine power) is an issue, the Milestar may not be the best choice. But you cannot beat the price.

    I always thought the hood vents on the Bannana were floor vents from a house😂, now I know they're from a Corvair, but they still look like floor vents from a house😂. And Jaime was right, the sensors are getting put on the new rims!, it's not a wheel until the tire is on the rim and the rum is on the hub, thats when it can be considered a wheel. Crazy how many automotive enthusiasts don't know the differences between a tire, a rim and a wheel 😂

I just watched an old video, Dec. 7 2021. Brother I know you have been working Very hard makeing videos, and trying to make money so your family will be taken care of. Man that a lot of work. Getting to the point. That video from 2021 you looked at least 5/6 years younger. Worry and stress will take you before your time. You need to get anouther assistant to take some of the load off your back. Maybe let someone take care of the shop,an all the stuff that goes with that. Just getting ready for the wrecker games is a mountain of work. Just saying. 🇺🇸👍🤪🥃
