Who’s excited for the Off Road Games this year? Get your tickets at www.offroadgames.com
Not even a little bit. Most of the guys you picked to drive are too obnoxious for me to watch. I'm prolly going to skip the games this year.
Excited to go skiing for $30.00 at Ski Cooper! may have to do some wheeling to make it there!
Hope to make it out to visit one of these days.
My rig my choice.
Sorry Matt over watched since day one I've been bighting my words but who's ever idea it was to do this new idea for the off road games they gotta go I saw your channel go from new and humble to now seems very just not you anymore sorry buddy please get back to your roots

You have to give it to Editors this time 6.35 Mat explaining to kids how he 10x undersold roofing and 3x overbought towing business and them kids sincerely clapping :DDD You are the best :) that was 111%
Hey Kaulin
On the Unimog: That engine is one of the best engines Mercedes ever made, certainly at its period.
One wants such a Unimog for the vintage original package. They are rare in the US.
Breaking one by putting a cummins in is a sacrileg.
Cheers from Germany
Ditto. The Unimog is a specialty European vehicle. Don't think it is anything like a North American truck. Please! Leave it alone. Let it go to someone who has the time and energy to treat it right.
I have to agree with the others, don't change the engine in the Unimog. They are unique vehicles and are configured for many possibilities. They even made a flatbed wrecker Unimog. The rear wheels move outward and the bed tilts down. I think only used in Europe. Yes if you're restoing, no if modifying.
I can see this one either way. If you want the factory original package, keep it stock. If not, put a Cummins or whatever fits and/or works. Its better to have it working and being enjoyed than sitting and rotting. So whichever method someone applies to achieve that is better than the alternative.
@@deadbrother5355100%
I'm a fan of both OEM+ and the bodged together awesomeness that these folk specialise in.
That said, if you're replacing everything and just going for the looks of something rare, pick a non-runner with the floor rotted out.. body swap will cut most of it anyway.😅
@@dzzope fair point, but I would argue a runner is a quicker swap-to-run turnaround. But it doesn't matter to me either way.
Hello, We for more than 30 years ago had a 1987 mod Unimog with crane. A very impressing truck/tractor, but we was much more satisfied and impressed of our little MAN 4x4 truck with short wheelbase, a vehicle which could go "everywhere" with single rear wheels, locker front and rear, winch in the crane, front and rear on the truck, alu tipper box and 12.500 pounds of payload, and could tow a 35.000 pounds trailer. For us that was the right tool for the job, and for us the little MAN truck was a better machin than the Unimog, but you are so clever in building up your own vehicles and will guaranteed be able to build up an impressing and stylish machine from that old Unimog. As disabled and bedridden I'm no longer able to do anything myself, but I'm looking forward to see your new Unimog project. Good luck guys😊.
Absolutely buy the Mog! I had a 404 for over a decade and it was a ton of fun. And in your line of work and fun projects - that seems to be a no brainer. A yellow BeembleMog, or BumbleMog would sure add to your lineup of amazing rides. It even kinda would look like a bee, don't you think?
Yellow yes but a camouflage pattern of the black and grey 👍👍👍
I gotta say - While the whole crew - from top to bottom are fantastic - Credit must be paid to the editing. You tube is my TV and this is my number ONE favorite show. Kudos to each and everyone involved.
I'm a truck driver and just left Las Vegas heading north and just got to see the heavy Wrecker on a trailer heading south. I finally got to see it in the wild haha
Bro that’s awesome and I live in Vegas! Safe travels to you @paddysdaddy 😎🤙🏼
My best friend Andrew was the lucky guy to get to have the honor of hauling it!
Caulins reaction to weld through primer "Why aren't we using this?". Between the kids and Tom Tom Matt's Offroad might start using the right tool for the job.
Yeah, not likely😆😅😂🤣
Except that he's wrong. *"Weld through Primer" is neither weld through, nor primer.* It should be called "Conductive Paint for touching sheets of metal." It only helps for using when you are spot welding (two sheets stuck face to face), when you can't use normal paint (which isn't conductive, and spot welding doesn't have an arc, so it wouldn't work unless the surfaces are conductive), and when you obviously can't paint the area afterwards (the sheets are flat against each other). It does not work as primer, it's gummy and paint will not stick to it. It is not something you weld through with an arc welder, because it's zinc and the zinc contaminates and ruins the weld and makes it shatter later.
Weld thru primer is not recommended for structural welding.
Don't hold your breath lol.
Ehh, once Matt passes along the business to his off spring...then maybe, just maybe lol.
Thanks for the nostalgia! I built one of those in 1971 with some friends in high school. Corsair rear end, VW front end, frame from old galvanized tubes from the gates of an abandoned gravel pit. Walker brakes - two VW brake cylinders with lever handles - eventually we found money for paddle track tires for the back. SO fun!!! Ran it in the dunes in southern Utah.
That was Corvair rear end.
Corvair sand rails, corvair baja racer…. This channel just keeps getting better. And yes…. The corvair is the greatest car ever built 🤙
Matt, everyone needs a Unimog, especially those 60s ones with the all-fuel engines that run on anything from Jack Daniels to waste engine oil .
The only thing running on Jack Daniels around here is me!!!!
You do not need a Unimog. Specially those old ones are very small vehicles. Best regards. 🤙
Better drink the Jacky and feel happy. Cheers.
Holley makes a laser style gas tank sensor that will work on any size tank, you just have the mount it to the top of the inside the tank. No moving arms, etc.
I went to school in mechanics and worked on my own projects. I spent alot of money to learn what your kids are learning at home.. they best appreciate it!
When trying to align two pieces with holes to insert a bolt, take a tip from structural steel iron workers. Use a "spud" wrench. It has a regular open end wrench (or crescent wrench) on one end and the other end is a round long taper to a point. You insert the taper into the two holes and wiggle it while pushing in until it seats with both holes aligned. Withdraw the spud wrench and insert the bolt. Easy peasy.
I've seen that done. Thought it was strange but did't make the connection. Thanks
Katelyn found the biggest flaw on a hand drill - your hand is offset from the axis of the drillbit. Impart the drilling force by pushing directly on the back side of the motor and only use the handle to hold up the weight of the drill. That drillbit should not wobble, otherwise it will break sooner or later.
Too much pressure and speed was the problem.
When I was watching that I was thinking that is going to break any second now, then snap. But it's alright, we all make mistakes, the important part is that we learn from those mistakes.
And something I didn't learn til I started machining is that drill bit speed is not correlated to removal rate. Your speed is actually inversely proportional to the amount of material you're trying to remove per rotation. If you're not getting any material removal, you should slow down, not speed up, and if it's catching or binding, then you need more speed, not less. The monkey part of the brain gets confused by that.
Best time to learn how to drill smaller holes like that is in a place it won't matter if the drill breaks and there's no finished paint to scratch. When that's not possible, help a personl out and teach them the right way.
I use oil when drilling. Or I strike oil when drilling. Either works
You "need" the unimog. Back up companion to big wrecker. Where's Jaimie's custom rock crawler?
They cut the roof off
Light bright has a Unimog for sale
Absolutely very much need a mog on this channel
Man the Bombi looks amazing, and congrats on the speaking opportunity! It's so cool to see your brand inspiring the next generation, amazing work MORR Crew!!!!
Glad to see the switch to Milwaukee. Finally getting some quality tools.
Tom's face went from shock to joy to disappointment when matt said " now to torque it" 😂😂
I’ve had to speak in front of university and college students. It is intimidating at first but the reality is making the connection between text book learning and real life experience is very beneficial for young people. Good job!
those were weird looking students
Just FYI. the u-joints need to have some degree of movement. if they are perfectly straight they will wear out faster. learned that one the hard way.
5°-7° is the magic number, 12° max. At 0° the needle bearings arent turning enough to keep them from seizing.
I just spent all day reaching out to 7 or 8 people in the trade as well as digging out my college textbooks for auto tech to find this after they said 0° lol
@@dhag72
I thought that too and bronze bushings would be better.
Absolutely love the College Course on Business Finance! As a small business owner myself, you were spot on the reality of Selling & Buying a Business.
TH-cam's often weird feed "you might like" showed me Tom Tom's. His last video got over 300k views. We should support him greatly, and if you don't know his background education and experience he explained it in one of Matt's videos and only once that I know of recently. He is humble and very smart. I think you need to watch this guy.
When you see a man who knows a LOT and work with another man that knows a LOT and they collide over methods of torque measurements yet get along like brothers, it's golden nugget.
I thought you guys were familiar with Steel-IT. I could swear I've seen you use it before... That is cool to see that moment of discovery. The boys are finding the processes that are their favorite. It's very admirable that they are learning skills instead of being human phone cradles. Good Fathers are the best!!!
Zero objections to hammering U-joints. I’ve done probably 100 of them, if not more, hammering every single one together and I’ve never had an issue. You just have to make sure the needle bearings are aligned and the cross partially engaged before hammering. Once everything is assembled you smack the ears of the yoke which settles everything and they’re smooth as butter.
I just love how all Matt's kids are following in their dad's footsteps. ❤
22:26 And that is EXACTLY why you need a highly visible flag extending at least 9 feet off your vehicle at all times while riding out in places like this.
I live over here on the Oregon coast and I've heard of and seen so many injuries from this exact same thing happening, hell when I was a kid a guy was coming up the side of a big old dune on his four wheeler right as a rail was coming off the top and damn near decapitated the guy.
I'm amazed no-one got hurt on this video.
And for motorbikes, the outcomes are even worse than for cars.
Yep I know a guy who lost his leg when this exact thing happened. He fought to save it for 8 years before he finally gave up and had it amputated.
@@craigmaverick 😔
Two spotters standing right by the jeep not doing their job. I've been to the dunes in Glamis for years those flags do very little unless you're sitting still.
Matt’s channel is the best channel to watch while eating
Colby interrupting all the research Matt and Tomtom did just by looking down had my sides crunched 😂😂
😂 that was the best! Always worked with a guy who I constantly had to ask: did you even read the label?
Yes Kaulin, weld through primer is a thing.......
LOVE and miss Linda Carter.
LOVE the brads Katelyn.
The Bombee is looking GREAT.
Kaulin and Rhett are getting to be quite the assets around the shop, I'm proud of those young men! And Tom is such an excellent sidekick for Matt, it reminds of Laural and Hardy! Well, a little bit at least? And Katelynn is coming along well with her skill set! The whole crew is great!
I've driven that same year Mog. Incredible trucks. Amazing step-over for trail rocks.
You need it!
That Irish music while Matt and Tom are "dancing" on the wrecker tire had me dying! 😂😂😂
I've never owned a Unimog, but have driven one off road during wildland fire fighting operations back in the day, honestly I've dreamed of winning the lottery and buying one ever since. That thing would go anywhere. So yes you need one, I may pout heavily if you don't get one so I can enjoy it vicariously through you. Those sand rails remind me of my younger years playing in the Oregon dunes, I had a Baja-ed VW but many friends ran sand rails, great fun back in the day.
11:28 "because we're cheap and lazy" hahahaha
I like Unimogs, got myself a 406. But I don't think you need one. It's harder for you to get parts and keep it working. You already got the wrecker, it would have been a great platform for that
I am glad to see the progress on the Bombi. This is going to be the king of "out of gas" with only 8 gallons. That is 1/3rd the size of the tank in the vehicle the engine once lived in.
Xcellent build.
Matt ! You Really Need the Unimog....... It would come in handy,
those things are the 'swiss army knife' of Utility Vehicles. It ought to have
a pto or two then add half a dozen winches. Waaaa Laaaa Paint it yellow
and call it "The Lemon". Then have Rudy make a set of tracks for it........
Waaaaa laaaaa? Do you mean Voilá?
😂 I'm glad waaa laaa got translated as I was wondering what it meant
The Wonder Woman bit was awesome. Wonder Woman is the best
Lost me at Heavy D, though. Pretty sure D is for Douche.
I want a Unimog. Therefire, uou ewnt a Unimog....lol
Happy Sunday Matt's Off-Road Recovery
I met my first Unimog in Inuvik, NWT, Canada in the early 90s. It was soo cool. Loud enough to wake polar bears at 20km. 6 or 7 people were on board...not clear how. A delightful memory. You need one
Loud not good.
What a beautiful family and crew. The youngins know how to weld and fabricate, everyone does their part to keep this operation going smoothly. You're a very lucky guy, Matt, and your family is very lucky to have you. I don't have any family left, but I get a lot of enjoyment watching you guys do fun and crazy stuff.
I want to see Tom crunch the numbers and get that fuel sender installed.
Helpful hints:
maybe turn the fuel pump 😮 or modify the float rod😮
Bombi is coming along great. It will be a totally different machine with all the improvements that the MORR crew has done to it.
For the fuel floater, you should easily be able to get the same size steel/aluminum rod and bend it a little longer so you can get it in there at an angle. Pretty much extend it passed the bottom and bend it there. Problem solved. Fuel gauge will work perfectly!
The issue wasn’t that they couldn’t get it in the tank, it’s that the tank shape doesn’t allow it to extend up or down. If you bend it so that the float is angled like an ‘L’ and it’s running the length of the tank it will then be trying to pivot, as opposed to actually lifting. If you try and extend the float down and then over under the tank there isn’t enough room at the bottom of the tank to lift, as the bottom of the tank is quite thin.
4:17 A few Pocket Drawstring Bucket Bags will help keep a bucket like that nice and tidy, if you remember where you put things. 😅
Just for the sake of pointing out (since most people know it) you do want to have some bend between your drive shaft entry point and drive shaft exit point, because the rollers inside need to work, otherwise, if they're perfectly flat, they end up digging into the same spot with tension and they eventually become loose. Not the case here, because there is some H difference between point A and B, if one were to make a perfectly straight shaft, one should use coupler joints (the star type that are joined by a rubber star) rather than the common U joint. You'd only need one and it would last for decades before it would ever need any sort of maintenance (especially with modern rubber compounds).
05:10 "...so we need to get one moron" 😂🤣😂
Yeeeees, I know, I'm not supposed to yank this out of it's context...but it made laugh uncontrollably.🤣😂
Colin and Caitlyn looked like a really cute couple. ❤ I'm saying it now maybe this is foreshadowing.
21:55 When I saw Katelynn in the sand rail with no goggles or face protection I knew sandy unpleasantness was near!
Wondered about that choice myself. Especially since she has driven in these conditions. Nothing can take the fun out of speeding around on the sand faster, than having it blast into your eyes.
@@Kiki-Kauai She has, but in a semi-enclosed vehicle... I don't think she considered the fact that there was _zero_ shielding in front of them. She'll know better next time if she decides to play with sand rails again - she's a naturally aggressive and daring driver; she just needs a bit more experience in different rigs.
Over here in Scotland the word we'd use is 'haunless'
No good with their hands.
I have the feeling that Katlyn wasn't hired to be an asset to the fabricating side of MORR.
Odd, considering the girl was hired for her offroading rock crawling abilities?
This cannot be the first time she's had a facefull of dirt thrown at her in a buggie.
I'd cut her some slack considering the sand did appear to be damp, less likely to be blown by the wind.
But maybe vanity is the issue; pretty wee lassie, eye protection spoiling her appearance on camera.
Fairly or unfairly, I don't get the no-nonsense, practical, ranchgirl vibe from this Lizzy..
when i worked on custom semis i found it was easier to use those red plastic cups you have, for bolts and just make a label with masking tape. the cups can be stacked and you can have them neatly organized in a cardboard box. then for next project you just put a new piece of masking tape over the old and mark what its for. they last surprisingly long time before the cups tear.
I like that idea because you can keep the parts in order by stacking them. I’m stealing this idea. Thanks!
34:10
So matt going big brain here.
1- Buy all the corvair stuff.
2- Make an entire Colleg wanting them.
3- sell parts for a huge mark up.
4- Stonks
The unimog is a great offroader, but specially for deep muddy terrain. Yours is more sticky rock. Don’t know if it suitable but it would be ALOT of fun!
When Looking at the Orange Bucket…
One would think To
Bag &Tag in the Future.
When it comes to Disassembly….?
Painters Tape, Sandwich Bags..😎👍✅
This has been an Update.
That's no fun 😂... Who wants to save hours on a build 🤷😉...you enjoy a smooth well planned job ??? I agree it's 42 miles one way to a store!!
Enjoy ✌️🤠
The shot of Katelyn drilling had me so wishing she had eye protection on even before the bit broke. I have a friend who had a piece of broken drill bit end up in his eye. Not a good trip to the ER for something easily prevented with a set of safety squints.
Not to mention the lack of eye protection when they went sand railing, and the nearly catastrophic lack of awareness of the camera guy at 22:26 - that could have been WAY worse!! If the uphill car was going any faster, they would have impaled the other car.
@@92804dv That's just how it goes in the dunes. DNR will have you convinced flags prevent it, but the fact of the matter is they don't do jack.
I'm sorry guys but not everybody wants to use eye protection, it's their choice if they want to use it or not it's not your choice, your choice is to watch the video or not and not be OSHA 😂. we got enough rules in place, we don't need your two bits, just because your friend was ignorant enough that he did not know what he was doing, does it mean to everybody else is ignorant, I cut my hand with a skill saw and almost lost the use of my hand, was I used in protection, it don't always protect.
@@chrisjohnson5888 not trying to be OSHA, but not all young people have the experience to recognize the hazard of what they're doing and make an informed decision on protecting themselves. Rest assured ICGAFL about what risks you take for yourself.
@@chrisjohnson5888Rules? How about common sense…which some posters seem to totally lack!
The unimog would be cool as a support vehicle for remote jobs where you could use the extra bed capacity for parts/wheels (land rover job) or another winch anchor point.
Matt: as a former owner of 2-1/2 corvairs, I fully support your decision to build that ‘60 Vair for the Baja 1000. The spirits of Doug Roe, Tom Keosababian, Ted Trevor and John Player are smiling down on you. Just make it ALL Corvair, no LS transplant! If you get any negative feedback, start a separate YT Channel; Matt’s Off-road Monza. Good luck.
Yes. Definitely Corvair powered.
The Morrvair got an LS for what I hope are obvious reasons.
There should be at least some minimal angularity in the U-joints, otherwise the rollers won't roll in the cups and they will wear dents in the races.
I was always told three degrees of difference...
@@vernonslone8627its 12°, I dug out my college books because of what Tom said around the 9 minute mark
Of course you need a Unimog! Its the best stock offroader available, Amazing trucks! The one we had at work had a forward and reverse selector, and all the gears worked the same in reverse. And low low gearing is amazing for crawling.
34:00, LOL MATT, A STANDING OVATION 😂😂😂 well done..!.!
Teamwork making the dream work, have a great week and count your blessings amen.
Love the whole crew. Caulin is like Matt, amazing in front of the camera. Jamie is the best. Rhett is a cutie & talented. Tom is awesome. Jake is a doll. Katelynn reminds me of being around my older brothers working on their cars, wanting to help but doing more damage than good. Hurts my heart to see her scratching the Bombi after all the hard work Robby put into it. Wish she’d be just a bit more serious. But she brings the youthful spirit, I guess.
I like the idea of the Unimog for Matt's off road recovery and the Big wrecker maybe out on a job and this truck could fill in nicely for recovering vehicles off the trails. Good video seeing the whole Matt's team with family and friends being involved with the Bombi and sand dune rails. Love your visit with VGG Derek and that was a nice hat Matt before someone lifted it! We love Vice Grip Garage!
the unimog looks to be propane powered. at 15:48 you can clearly see the regulator and the fuel cutoff.
Absolutely love the Robby sticker.
Before the Unimog you need to build the spud truck
Wow, a 404. Yes you need an Unimog, awesome vehicle, you'll love it
I own its sister Truck, a 1968 Mercedes LA 911 with the HL 5/1 S-10 diff locking rear axle.
Nuclear Physicist works on the transmission mount. TH-camr speaks to students of higher learning. Up is down, down is up.
Looked like Matt torqued those perfectly! Hear me out. You tightened them up. Set the torque wrench to 175. And it clicked! So they were at least 175! Perfect!
A Unimog has always been on my vehicle dream list. I have zero need for one, but that's not important.
Did you invite Derek from VGG to the Off-Road Games?
I'm 99% sure he's going
The Bombi is coming along and should be ready very soon. Looking good. It sucks that someone stole your had from Vice-grip Garage. Glad no one was hurt on the dunes with the little fender bender. A mask and goggles look like the thing to ware when driving or riding in the buggies. Still having fun and enjoying everything I see. Stay safe and Healthy
Ready for the summer 😂
That ending was hilarious
Great video! I was immersed right up until the end. Love you guys!
10:15 Jake in the background hearing Tom say "this vehicle might have the ability to tell you how much gas is in the tank" 😆
Doing jumps over Sandune’s is a much different experience than rock climbing on trails. The multiple close encounters should have been a wake up. Helmet and neck protection and some better seats are a must. Life long injuries are no joke.
HEY! Gooooood morning everyone and thumbs UP to Matt and crew! 👍
A lot of nice work you all do.
I really enjoyed watching the sand rails and the side by side thst hot all the air. Matt your boys have grown up so much and work good with others.
That Unimog would fit well in as a rescue truck. Those are pretty impressive machines.
New shop looking awesome!
Unimogs are SUPER cool btw
Good morning MORR
So cool to see all these potential side projects. Can't wait for the school bus offroad action!
That bucket is what my dad would call a ‘farmer’s mix’.
I’m not a farmer, nor was my dad, but we both did, and I still do have a bucket like that. I even paid $85 for a “Manager’s Special” 5gal bucket of SS nuts and bolts at the local Fastenal store. I probably have $1000 worth of individually priced retail hardware in that bucket but I don’t really need most of it. But, you never know. 🤪
@@Dave-ei7kk Dad worked at a lumber yard decades ago and the nails and screws that fell out of the bins over the course of a week or so were just put in the farmer’s mix bucket and marked ‘free’. Wasn’t worth trying to sort them back.
@@hrothgar014 I think the “Managers Special” bucket that I bought at Fastenal was the result of similar motivations. The manager didn’t want to pay someone to pickup, count, and repackage broken quantities of spilled hardware.
I wish Lizzy would come back she was good at building these machines. Sorry Katelyn you wake me nervous when you do things and im scared your going to get hurt or do some damage to what ever you work on. Hopefully you will slow down and learn more by watching the guys do it😂
I was surprised someone didn't correct her before the bit broke.
I love Tom's comments. I also liked the ending standing ovation. What a great channel!!! Good group of people.
Tom brings some professional engineering to the shop.
No disrespect to Matt!
Would be nice if somebody recorded the whole thing
I want a video of the classroom speaker, I absolutely love all the Corvair content. I also just really enjoy the excellent content from this TH-cam Channel
I owned a U1700L38 Australian military unimog for about 3 years, just recently. They are a good vehicle, but need parts that are expensive (mine was in very good road registered condition however), so when I say parts, I mean aftermarket parts to make them better, better wheels and tires, different gearing and possibly gearboxes (all depending on what you want to do with it).
Really, they shine at having weight on them offroad, but, the beds are also short, so not all THAT useful for recovery (I mean, they are, but not for big american pickups) - they're also very high and very wide.
Honestly, I'd forget the relics and if you were genuinely interested in one, look for something like a U1700, everything is stronger on them, much bigger portals and axles etc.
Much better platform to begin with.
Even with all that in mind though, the wrecker is really better in almost every way, it would only be worse in the event you need an actual bed.
I am a long-time viewer, and I love the family and the easy-going viewpoint of Matt and his family. The dune buggy accident was very minor, but it should be a warning, to increase those wipes on both, it was not visible! I just want everyone to be safe. I know ita a good idea, I'll take the Jeep Gadiator.
Matt, you need a unimog! Just do it. But, put the gas engine in it for the sand.
Try to get him be heavy douche? Matt needs stay in his own lane.
@@ddracing2257 It might be useful. Tow pig, winch machine etc
This was a very cool episode. It's great to see how much Matt enjoys the craziness of so many things going on at once.
Unimogs are the GOAT.
The comraderie and sense of fun that pervade your videos make them such a joy to watch. You never disappoint. Kudos to your camera people, as well. Good job!
You need that unimog!!! With some love and upgrades it's almost unstoppable.
That final scene is gold.
You guys really out here living! Keep it up 🤌🏽
AHHHHH TOMMMMM! How do you not know to put the sending unit in the hole first and then rotate the pump assembly in behind it 😢
I feel like you've got to be messing with us
Thanks for taking the time to speak to us at SUU!
So, did you learn anything? Other than that Corvairs are the greatest cars ever made?
9:00 I did the research guys. A straight driveshaft with no angle can work, BUT, with zero angle, the needle bearings in the Ujoints wont be turning, causing them to fail prematurely and/or seize. 5°-7° is a good number to go with, up to a MAXIMUM of 12°.
I'd hate to see you guys eating through Ujpints, so put some angle on the dangle before you seal it all up in there like King Tut and end up with a driveshaft swinging around!
Source: read through my auto tech college books, reached out to a few auto tech professors/instructors, a couple college mates, and another technician friend. All mentioned the Ujoint cups needing to rotate to keep them lubricated
The Unimog would be a cool build Matt!
Rett is just naturally a funny dude.
