Great video as usual Matt!! It was fun to
Come down and get some time in on the banana see you next week!
Subbed buddy great job in the drip rails etc can't wait to see more of your quality work
You have some awesome talent! Fun watching you work that metal.
Just subscribed to your channel !!! 🤜🤛
You should try a Raptor bedliner paint job on the Banana, it needs something other than shiny paint. I restored my 2000 XJ 18 months ago during lockdown and it is the best upgrade I've ever done. One important thing is how much cooler the truck is in the summer because it is so thick.
Great job bro. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
40 years from now, the “Banana” will be the “Golden Nugget” project when Matt is in his 80s.
"40 years ago I got it stuck in the mud at sand hollow"
Golden Banana 🍌😆
Quick! Go find a landslide to hide it behind.
I'm thinking in 40 years is going to look more like a yellow batmobile.
The only thing is the banana is being built tough so when they go to redo it there in for a tough job
Robbys face when Matt said "I can't believe you did that with vice grips and a couple of ratchet straps" was priceless. I bet behind the smile he was thinking "vice grips, ratchet straps, 20 years experience and finesse with the correct hammer, yeh sure was easy, that's why you called me"
just what i was thinking
yup the pros always make it look easy, that is why they are the pros.
I understand the idea of reversing the impact, and I could pull out the bends. It would end up looking wavy and uneven, though. I would also spend the whole day on it, and it would never look right. The mark of a real professional is the ability to make it look easy.
"Just with some vice-grips and some straps".... don't forget to add 1) knowing where to place the vice-grips and strap, 2) how much tension to apply, 3) where to tap-tap-tap, and 4) knowing when its done.
The body work folks... it's an art form to be admired. Nice work on fixing the Bannana. I suspect some help will be needed on the Nugget too!!
One I've always heard.
"After trying to get an old compressor working for a day, a company called in a professional. He showed up, took a hammer and struck it on the bottom, and it started working. He then billed the company for $1000."
The owner saw this and exclaimed that was way too much for the amount of work he had done, he needed and itemized copy of the invoice. So the repairman revised it to say "$5 for the hammer, $995 to know where to swing it."
Like getting a bus out of the sand "Just with a little Jeep and a yellow bungee cord!"
Lol Matt: " all that with just vice grips and a strap" the look on the kids face said it all. That is like saying to a heart doctor, all that with just a scalpel and a bunch of string.
One of the things I love about this channel is that it’s not just off road recovery work. You guys do repairs and custom fabrications to your vehicles. A lot of awesomeness on this channel!!!!!
Awesome work on pulling those panels out. I used to pull out windows from limousines that way and we’d put them back in using a thin rope. You would lay the rubber around the window frame and put pressure on it and when you’d pull the rope it would pull the rubber over the frame. That part of the video brought back memories. Wasn’t fun when the person holding the window would slip and the glass shatter 😂.
I don't know Ed but i want to thank you all for what your doing for him. He reminds me of my dad. Ed will love this suprise.
The need to cut the rubber to remove the glass depends on some factors, like age of the rubber, price and availability of the glass or even the rubber itself. This guy seems to knows what he is doing, very good job with few simple tools.
Definitely a valid point ! Be suprized what you can do with a bit of fishing line ;) or in Matt’s case a vice grip and some ratchet straps haha 😛
"Just with some vice grips and straps", you undervalued his talkent right there. Ever hear the tale of the old man with the hammer? Knowing where to tap is the key.
I love that parable.
He didn't undervalued, he appreciated it. Even knowing where to tap you will just need some jaws and straps, and you don't really need a hammer to tap.
@ymauser. Of course you tap it (eyebrow) with hammer while under pressure, it's called "stress relieving" the metal. He uses Snap-On body hammers, they are the nicest ones out there
Hope your doing OK Matt, ive seen the drama and think I understand. Your a good dude and your community shows it. Keep your head up and do what you gotta do.
I feel the same way. This too shall pass, hang in there Matt and crew. Everyone who owns a business can relate to dealing with stress and struggles.
What drama was there? I'm up to date with all the videos, so what did I miss, and where?
Matt's putting his recovering out there so far on the edge of understanding to help people.
Just Google Matt's off-road recovery and it's all over the news
@@DriftWithoutCar oh no... I just saw it. I hope all goes well for them, as they genuinely seem like really good people.
For future reference in regard to the drip rail trim.. all you need to do is put your thumbs on the underside of it or a plastic pry tool and gently push up... I popped mine off to paint the roof without any damage at all and put them back on. I took one off again the other day, half way through a whole driver rear quarter replacement thanks to a hit and run.
I love how Robby had his safety glasses with him at all times . . . . perched up on top of his cap 😂
The XJ is gonna be (more) awesome now!
Great work y'all 👍
Robby looks like he could be 15 and 40 at the same time 😂
Beat me to it 😂
I am thinking Robby knows some stuff!
Almost in the middle 32 😂 my wedding photos look like I’m about 12
That young man doing the body work should start a youtube channel, that was some artwork making that all straight again.
Whatever the outcome of the…. “Drama” we are all rooting for you and have your back! Keep getting them out and we will keep having your back! One of my favorite channels!
Did I miss some drama in this video?
@@JeremyAkersInAustin not in the video no just media/news trying to take advantage of good people
A good body man is an artist disguised as a blacksmith. :-O
Vice grips and straps. It's not the tools, it's the person behind them that makes the difference! !! !!!
I would say the Banana is getting a total make over, you guys amaze me with your multiple skills. The best part is you do a great job and it looks and works like new when your finished.
3 yrs from now he'll be doing the same thing except he'll be swapping in a Tesla drivetrain because ice vehicles won't be allowed on public land. Remember the oboma days you southern utahans? Same folks are back for a do over. Scary activist being put in charge of agencies as we text.
@@49walker44 on paper a full ev drivetrain would work awesome off road... Utterly no slip or have it on a dial Incase you need a little slip
When is a Jeep NOT A JEEP?
When it’s a BANANA
@@49walker44 which is probably why there is an Electric Hummer coming out….
@@francisschweitzer8431 Doug Morrow?? of Doug score fame, got to run a Rivian though it's paces and someone else took one Moab area, very impressive. I think just as they rule the dragstrip so shall they off road IF they have longer legs. Love to see serious rock climbers get in the mix.
Really liked the statement by Matt “ that was for water drainage “ regarding the large gap Rudy was having to weld. My father told me when an oops happens when building a product and an error happens that customers can notice. Call it “A feature “. Been using that motto for years.
@ 8:55
Lady looking back at Trevor and smiling. hahaha. Adorable!
Matt is a man on a mission with BANANA! That guy's technique on the body work was way cool!
Matt says "anything with hammers, I'm good at." What he meant to say was "anything with claw hammers, I'm good at." I love the claw hammer.
I see another saying for a T-Shirt.
My 28-ounce Estwing milled face framer is the best wrench in my tool box. Drives nails, too.
@@jonkirkwood469 the problem is when my buddy was hitting steel with a claw hammer a piece broke off the hammer and went whizzing by my head. It was a little scary.
Thst dudes smile when you complimented the roof. This is why I watch this channel. Sooooo wholesome in a time the world needs it the most
I like Robby, bodywork guys blow my mind with how they see things. My dad used to be one when he was younger and watching them work in their element is just art in motion. A dying art, sadly
Watch some of the paintless body repair channels and you'll see they're taking bodywork to a whole new level. It's incredible to watch.
I have never seen so much where I think, "These guys' work is so impressive." AND "These guys' work is so sketchy." as I do with the MORR channel.
It's derby building
@William Pitcher It's only sketchy if it doesn't work. If it works, That's impressive!
Once you're done with all the mods you might have to rename this rig The Plantain, since it's basically a banana except it's bigger, badder, and way more exotic
That guy is the Chiropractor of body panels! I'm so impressed at how he reformed the roof line.
Matt's voice of amazement at what people can do with a trained eye, and some strap tension to pull out something that's where it's not supposed to be. Not like that's not what he does for a living or anything.
From the looks of that roll cage, Ed left something really important farther up the trail
Roll cage one of these equipments that you hope you never need but when you need them you are so happy that you did spend the time on it.
You can't imagine my glee when I saw the MoClamp tool in use!
I love seeing this beast evolving and continuing to avoid the junkyard. Dont ever get rid of her.
Happy Sunday Matt & friends. Hope everyone has a great day & an even better week! MUCH LOVE ❤️
Good stuff! I'd be adding a mesh cargo barrier behind the back seats. I've seen the damage of loose stuff in the back reaching the passengers... Not pretty! Keep up the good work!
This.
Lady smiled in the shop!!!! Greatest thing I’ve seen today.
I want to see a rematch of the Banana vs the Morrvair after you finish the upgrades!
The best part of my day was watching the dogs run free in the desert. Now all I see running is Trevor, the angry garden Gnome.
You know those times when a laugh cannot be contained and it just bursts out of you? This comment made that happen 🤣
I love seeing Max and lady. Lady has a beautiful smile
A good body guy is an artist. It's amazing to watch.
Good to see actual body work being done instead of someone just replacing body pannels
Love seeing that the dogs are well, it’s been a while.
dogs in the videos is always a good thing👍
She smile when she was greeted at the 9:00 mark lol
I know!!! I've missed seeing the dogs!!
“Just vice grips and some straps?” Oh yeah, and the knowledge and experience of the pro using them...........
good to see you all today 12/6. Thanks for letting me take up your time. your yard looked good and good job on the gates Rudy! was going to tease lizzy a little but she wasn't in super mood. maybe next time. I'll stop by again some time.
As Always,
John Vincent
Cedar Ciity
Makes me feel old when I see a young pup like that with so much expertise and skill. I'm sure he went into heavy debt at some "college" to get that smart.
10:48 OSHA compliant doggo 😂
Had to laugh when those dents were being pulled. Just yesterday I applied the same principle to straightening a 3 point implement top link... however I used 2 4 ton come along's with the implement chained to a tractor loader with the bucket holding it down and then the other end hooked to my truck hitch with my buddy's truck hooked to the front of it. Its amazing how much force it can take to bend 1/4" wall 3" steel tube lol! got it done and fixed though.
I can't wait to see the unveiling of the" GOLDEN NUGGET " ... and the smile 😁 on ED'S face....!!!!!
The BANANA is turning into a BEAST of a recovery unit...!!!!
The Banana is coming along nicely...Its going to be a Tank when its done... Good Job Rudy on the welding...Looks great...Great Video...
Matt's "close your eyes and weld" technique is legend.
Not really. You only get one set of eyeballs. He might wanna take care of them.
Or so says Blind Melon Chitlin…
Yes once the damage is done it's permanent . Welded for years .
@@Ornelas11B He's one of the most stubbornly careless guys I've ever seen with regard to eye protection.
My dad did that in his younger days. He melted his contacts to his eyeballs once.
I cant believe you guys do all the editing in that old Jeep. Crazy!
Not a lot of room in that editing room 😂
Feels strangely comfortable, though...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
0:08 Lizzy's "Howdy howdy let's get Rowdy" now makes much more sense.
Ed : "why do you like the XJ?"
Matt: " because all you need is 32 inch tires and a 3 inch lift... Take off the sway bars... And you can do anything!!!"
5 minutes later ...
Serious welding operation on the XJ.
All in fun Matt . I believe you. It's just crazy all the mods . Keep it coming !!! Don't stop until it's a monster truck !!!
Who's a good boy? LADY! I love that ending. And it's true, lady doesn't run off mid-call lol. Wish you all the best!
So true! Lol
I am looking forward to see Matt running up the dunes with a camera to find out if being a cameraman is really easy.
How's Leanne?
that kid has a bright future, very humble way about him
You know you got a good window guy when they can pull the windshield without breaking it
Never EVER scrap the Nanner....keep it aside if it ever gets that bad- as memorial to faithful service.. and TRADEMARK development. Nanner is family!!
Yard art is what I call it. I got a few vehicles I can't bring myself to part with because of all the times they had my back no matter what when they shouldn't have taken the abuse. Faithful stead now deserves a peaceful rest, until I get around to restomodding them.
My friend's trucking company took his grandfather's first truck and mounted it on a post at the end of the driveway
@@1987FX16 I have neighbors with about a dozen faithful steads in their yard galleries.
Build some storage on window side of cage in rear. Places for ropes, shackles, and organized space. My drivers rear window in steel plate because you cant see out if it anyway.
OK, Matt: Not just "vice grips and some straps," but also the knowledge of how to apply them! Thanks for having Robbie in this video. I learned a ton!
Vice grips, ratchet straps AND experience. The last bit being the hardest and most expensive bit.
Great job and video. 👍🏻
watching you from saudi arabia 🇸🇦, keep posting 👍 I really enjoying watching your videos
Very impressed with the professionalism and work from this young man. Keep up the good work Matt and crew!
Love seeing Robby work this stuff is awesome!
Never knew lady smiles!!! So cute, out aussie does it every time we get home.
Not the tools you use, is the skilled person operating the basic tools correct ways. To repair/build the task at hand.
You should build some storage in the back for all the towing gear since you got it all torn out. Maybe like a sliding drawer or something
Straps, vice-grips and a well-placed hammer! What's not to love??
Good body shop guys are a different level of skill for sure
Good to see young guys still into body work. I figured you'd do a few weld tab pulls on the quarters near the rear hatch before paint.
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery Makes sense. Can't wait to see the fished product!! 🔥🍌🔥
Has anyone ever recorded Ed telling old stories from mining or anything? That would be interesting.. to me anyway.
We need this!
MORR STORY TIME WITH ED!!! see what I did there?
Yes. Check out the MORR Facebook page.
@@JohnFL - Just say NO to Facebook & Twitter!
@@anotherdave5107 No worries, I don't have an account with either. MORR has a public page.
Can't wait to see the bigger, better, badder, Banana when it comes back from paint!
You will be able to watch the process of it being fixed and painted as well!!
Very Cool to see the Camstraps and Vice Grips body work. What a sweet recovery that was! Also I enjoyed seeing Lady’s smile and how patient she was having her glasses fitted.
Got a kick of the dog with the Glasses on ha ha "Detective Holmes"
More safety-concious than all the humans there combined
You might not like that shiny dash when you’re headed into the sun. It’s going to blind you and during the summer it will reflect the heat right at your face. Just a consideration. Maybe a good idea to find a dash mat just incase.
I wonder about he legality of that dash. Where I live you would be towing your vehicle home.
They'll probably painting it black.
@@swapnilmankame Or yellow!
If only someone would invent some sort of spray on coating that could change the colour and/or finish of surfaces, preferably in an easy to use can with a button on top.
Buy a flocking kit to do the dash
America's new "Sweetheart" Lizzy. That young lady couldn't be any more apple pie. Nice work raisin' that kid. ;)
Its so awesome to see young kids so skilled and working hard Excellent parenting 🇺🇸👍🏻🐻
Won't a shiny dash produce a lot of glare in your windshield?
And heat on those 100+ days. I wonder if they're going to cover it with something?
@@TheAntinowherelane May also want to put some defroster vents in for those cold recoveries.
@@Marty54GMC Just carry a little torch and hit it when it ices up lol
There are dash covers that you can made or that some companies do with your specific measures, like Covercraft.
It's like painting the engine compartment a light sucking black. A whole lot of, " we shoulda probly not done that" events. Foresight? We don't need no stinkin' foresight.
"I can't believe it came out so well, just with some vice-grips and some straps." That guy is thinking: vice-grips, straps, and an autobody professional.
I have to compliment that young man pulling those dents out along the roof line and window. The stainless steel at certain times A-day is going to blind people. Like the idea of all the roll bar work you're putting into it. 5 point harnesses would be well advised. Thanks Matt always enjoy your show.
Really chain watching these excellent videos, in the depths of a British Winter, where a week of steel left out it would be dripping and to see a steel shop with no rust is something to see!
Love how much matt and the fab rats are learning soooo much about video production and editing!!
4:02 (ish), its crazy that you can actually see the metal pop with one tap of his body hammer. Body work fascinates me. It goes along with the story of the mechanic, the big engine, and a hammer.
$5 to hit it with a hammer.
$9995 for the expertise to know where, and how hard.
Caught a glimpse of Lady's beautiful smile!
Will you all stop the comments about the shiny dash. Matt is not stupid! The dash will be padded and covered in vinyl just like the MORRvair was.
Loved how you put glasses on lady the dog and she skullked off in shame!!, Happy sunday guys from UK.
We need an app that tells the weather in Ed's voice .
A reciprocating saw with a putty scraper attached for taking the windshield off. That is a serious tricks of the trade tool right there.
Methinks you should order Jaymie an "SOD Rise 4x4" (Stone Offroad Design) for her own rescue vehicle ... so she can go out and rescue the crew when you have one of those long rescue's ... for hot meals, a nap or just a chance to cool off" or maybe just grab a Unimog U5032 and build one in the shop.
Id love to see Matt build one, mostly for what he cobble together to put inside.
My like goes for Lady's smile at 8:59
Matt: installs roll cage.
Recovery team: never wear seatbelts.
I was half expecting him to say that they were leaving seat belts out to save weight since no one uses them anyway! Lol
But they harass Lizzy about not wearing a seatbelt.
@@JaneWagman well Lizzy is what we call.. very good looking. They just don't want to see her purdy little face get banged up. I'm thankful for that. =)

Man, you and your crew and your friends are so refreshing to watch! Thank you for the recovery videos, and even more so for these build videos.
Matt, You’re just gonna tear it up again when the “next” golden nugget type mission comes about 😂😎 Dents give it character.. Kind of like scars, Each one comes with a story! 😎🇺🇸👍🏻
Dents give it character up to a point but Trailmader's wrecker is going too far 😁
Once again, so many keyboard warriors who know sooooo much more about what Matt wants/needs than Matt does. If you're a long time viewer, you know that Matt knows what he is doing.
Hell, yes!
Great video..and good to see Lady and Max again. Great family members. Lady seemed to like the safety glasses. A little bit.
Very impressive to see how quickly and effectively Robby straightened the body.
Checking his channel ..... looks interesting
Using a grinder and a plasma torch without protective glasses = risky
Yeah Matt, running in 105° heat is "easy" for the camera man. Lol.
LOL yeah. Trevor just makes it look easy, but I dont see Matt running up a 30º sand hill in 105ºF
Funny thing is, in the beginning trevor was super out of shape but now that he’s got “used to it” more than before, he seems to enjoy it more now since i can tell he feels way lighter on his feet, Conditioning training at Matts Offroad Recovery is real👌🏻💪🏻
@@Alexwinter123 exactly!
Matt: "I don't carry jerry cans because I need it to be as light as possible."
Also Matt: "Let's put a roll cage in it."
😂
Rather run out of gas than roll it
Running out of gas won't kill you. Rolling without a roll cage could. I'd say his priorities are in order.
Oh I know. All in good fun. Safety third!
Things change.
Matt always hated a winch, now he's all about one. You learn as you go.
@@ronaldfulton1175 they need the extra gas
It's definitely not the tool what's worth the money is the knowledge of doing a job. Robbie and Matt are a perfect example.
It’s all about finding the right person with the proper skills…you do that really well Matt! I don’t remember a rollcage being part of the Banana upgrade. The plasma cutter always amazes me.
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery …gotcha, thanks!
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery …rollcage is perfectly logical considering the stuff you guys do!
