Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!

Collin, that was some fine parts cleaning work! It's not a glorious part of the job, but it is necessary.
I was thinking the same thing. Nice work Young Man!
Agreed, now sell them on eBay and call Clifford performance and order new ones more compatible with the new engine.
Matt you’re a great leader. You have a lot of patience and educate your team well when working but you don’t get angry and you somehow manage to run a shop while not being an asshole. Props to you I really see you as a great example of how a team should be run
Something tells me that Matt’s whole life has consisted of using the wrong tool the right way to get the job done, and I admire that.
it also works using the right tool the wrong way
Americans only seem to possess adjustable spanners (wrenches) must be the lack of 13/32nd spanners.
Haven’t watched every video here but I’ve yet to see that Bridgeport used. Definitely a lost opportunity for it right there. Love the vids, though.
Wouldn't the wrong tool automatically be the wrong way?
"Whoops there goes another harbor freight drill" is the best, truest song ever sung.
Both my father and step-father were aircraft machinists. I have thusly acquired a lifetime supply of good quality drill bits of every conceivable size. As a consequence, I own maybe 4 Harbor Freight drill bits (step bits that work great). My drill bit life is good.
@@watcherofwatchers can't knock the h.f. step bits for their cost
@@danbrooks8241 I wait until the indexes are on sale, then I buy 4 or 5 of them, and I take all of the bits out of the indexes and store them in a small bin with many drawers. I do buy quality bits from time to time, but for 99% of my drilling, the H/F bits work just fine.
Whoops therès a lovley press drill/milling machine just there..with a vice...Naw!
@@danbrooks8241 Those HF step bits are legit.
Finally, after watching your videos for a year, I got the chance to pull someone out of a difficult situation. The things I've learned from watching yall helped and we had them out in no time. Thanks MORR!
Trevor is the big secret hit of the show , glad you're back in action !
I like Matt's approach to designing his vehicles, there is a legendary Latin term for it known as; "Wing Imus Maximus".
Watching from Japan, it’s the last thing I do every Sunday night. It ends my weekend on a happy note!

I love that Trevor has upped his his game as the camera man and added more heckling from the background
Cameraman heckling is an underappreciated fine art!
Matt appears to be a born teacher. Not only for his crew, but for his audience as well, the way he explains things into the camera, talking directly to us. I see others try, but no one does it as well as Matt!
Excellent.
This is for Lizzie, learn as much as you can about how a vehicle works and how to repair one. You make this channel complete. You whole team is so great to watch.
Almost 65 and helped over 20 years in my husbands garage, it was his " hobby" but now I find my self gravitating towards auto repair instead of decorating my living room. Funny how that goes. So learn as much as you can. 🤗
I married a girl like you. She was rebuilding her eng (with help of neighbor) when I met her in High school. It's been a great life!
I have found Harbor Freight offers Two grades of Drill Bits, Wire - Soft and Extra Brittle.
You mean they've stopped selling the "blunt on sale" range now?
Sharp enough to get you out the door
Harbor Freight drills are fine, it’s not their fault they don’t make idiot proof drills. Both of those drills that THEY broke would have been just fine if they had them in a drill vise and using a drill press at a low rpm. Also a little cutting fluid helps a lot! Both of those drills can be re ground if any of those knuckleheads knows how.
@@waynerainey2606 I've literally seen a Harbor Freight drill catch in a hole and the twist un-twist and the flutes straighten out. Harbor Freight drills are not fine. lol
@@waynerainey2606he wrote drill BIT my friend not drill. on that note, they are pricey but I have had great success with there cobalt drill BITS, it's like $75 dollars but they work well.
Matt: "Who's a good boy"
Max: *Not me, I don't get taken along any more...*
Poor Max but still a good friend.
Bad Dog!😒🙄 Dangerous making Ed chase down a dog in 95°F+ weather after towing the customer. Need to keep the team cool. Those emergency waters in the Banana used to be for customers who were stuck overnight, not lost doggy rescue. 🤦🏻♂️
I love everything about this channel and all involved, but I absolutely could not ride in the back with the dogs panting on me 😂
@@dicktrickle4197 what’s wrong with dogs panting and drooling on you in the back seat of an un-air conditioned car in the desert at 98 degrees and 100% humidity?
@@dicktrickle4197 will question you now a dog person own a Siberian husky like my wife and we have you ain't have nothing like husky fluff
Thank you for the longer vids... Doesn't have to be anything special. You always do more doing than explaining. Thats always a plus. No matter what it's always good to have an inside look in the Matt's offroad recovery GARAGE of custom engineering.😃
I am absolutely loving this way more casual format with lots of random behind-the-scenes stuff.
Hey Winder Crew,
How can ya not have a good day after watching this video ?
This is a really great crew !
Matt has assembled a really fun, energetic, hard working bunch of people who work well with each other and get the job done.
It is a pleasure to watch their videos !
Thanks to Matt and crew.
"Looks" like Matt needs to borrow Paul's eyecrometer for an afternoon.
😜
My thoughts exactly 🤣🤣🤣
The Taking of the wrench from Rudy at 10:20 was priceless
Plan C: paint Rudy's Jeep with yellow blotches and call it "The Plantain" and send it on the mission
This Channel is such “A Trip”!! AN AWESOME group of folks.
I second that !
You wouldn’t think so if you had a life of your own instead of cheerleading someone else’s. I’m glad I have Adblock installed. I already have to fast forward through so much of the munsters do towing, I’d hate to have to Fast forwArd through a bunch of ads too.
@@waynerainey2606 and yet , here you are , commenting on a channel you just watched 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@waynerainey2606 Give me your address, and I will give you a hand getting loose from all of those chains holding you down in front of the screen. From your comment, you MUST have other much more important things to do.
@@waynerainey2606 I have read several of your comments, and every one of them is in poor taste. The one where you insulted Matt's wife was just uncalled for. You must have a very unhappy life. I disliked every one of your comments. It is a shame that they don't show up.
I got schooled by an old guy when I accidently called a cylinder a ram. The look on his face when he said "a ram is one way and a cylinder is push pull". He was a lift installer by trade and very good at it. Me I was just help learning a lot and aggravating him well. lol Good video !
Has a nice milling machine and probably a drill press. Uses screw driver to drill 8mm holes in solid steel bars.
The tie rod end to help stabilize the dual joint steering shaft is genius. Eliminates the common problem of one of the joints binding up
I really love this family type work environment! Super dope. Everyone goes to lunch together!? I hope my company can adopt this kind of morale/attitude and find good hearted employees like this.

If you’re looking for a good PS pump, the v8 wj pump upgrade is a fantastic, and bolts right up. Very minimal modification to the valve and its good! For $25 at the junkyard you can have a much stronger pump
We are doing two XJ builds and might have to give this a try!
Nathan there should be writeups online. You might not find xj specific, itll probably be for tj. Its the same tho. It bolts up, just gotta use the valve from the xj pump and drill it out. Then ever so slightly bend the line to get around the bigger reservoir. Nothing to it
Most of the front suspension will swap over also. At least for the TJ. I did the pump, track bar and drag link from the WJ. And the brake booster from a dodge Durango on my 04 LJ.
This has quickly become my favorite channel and I love watching what these awesome folks are gonna do next. God bless ya'll! Preciate ya!
brings back memories from 1970,s. Machining up engine to gearbox adapter sandwich plate . no CAD in those days .. just a compass and some decent eyeballing .
“We’re trying to do a good job” and then cut to Matt beating on stuff with hammer 😂 😆
Claw Hammer at that?
As a carpenter, I have indeed done some mechanic'in with my claw hammer.
@@jfraz3570 he explains in another video that claw hammers are preferred for fabrication because you're always prying, tweaking etc.
Love waking up Sunday mornings to the Banana Build!!!
Heading to the “Crawling for a Cure” Cancer Run in Tahuya, WA! Wish y’all were here!!! ❤️🐞
I've always wondered what those events do like do you pay a fee to participate how do they raise money
Should be a great event. Washington has some great crawling spots.
Great work, Bug.
@@ironicchannelname6457 yes, most of those events you pay per trail, plus there are vendor set ups so I'm sure they earn money from the fees for that. I know the two bigger ones at Sand Hollow are like this.
@@ironicchannelname6457 - The event was free to anyone that wanted to come and go wheeling. We had several companies donate gifts for a raffle we held before we all hit the trail. Was an amazing turnout for our first annual event. Approximately 100 rigs showed up to show support.
Matt uses the Wrecker as an engine hoist. It ain't stupid if it works! 🤔
I've used my wrecker to do body and frame work.
Better than an engine hoist except you need at least 2 people. Definitely not a negative thing, it's their trademark enginuity.
Been there done that. Works great for pulling one if you’re not in the shop
My boss has done that a couple times and is about to do it again for an engine swap in a lifted F250 in our back lot.
“Whoops there goes another harbor freight drill” 😂. I laughed entirely too long at that 😆.
Also, I’ve really enjoyed watching the Jeep up grade. Keep up the good work crew!
dont tell me their cheap... i bought a ste of harbor frieght tools and my dad laughed at me saying they cheap 😂😂
it solved like 40+ jobs already and hasnt broke yet!
When HF has those tool disposal sales, at first I thought they were advertising that their tools were disposable. 😄
Just being 100% honest 🙏
Would love to hang out with you guys around the shop just for one day, and go on a recovery mission. God bless you guys ✌️stay healthy, stay strong 💪 and keep up the great work.
❤️ big fan .. LETS GO CHAMP!!
Drilling tip. Low speed, high pressure, lots of oil.
Or use the milling machine that is right behind them.
Speed kills.......................Drill bits!
Better yet, DRILL PRESS!
@@davewinch6029 Make sure that you have good drill bits .
And relieve the shavings regularly.
"A Stabbing in Hurricane" a new mystery novel from Matt's Off Road Recovery.
clever, I liked it.
Or it could be a reference to the heritage of the 4.0L ... It was developed from the Hurricane from the Willy's days . . . . Hmmm
This is the way to do it all in America... thats the comment of a german, which worked in America.
Great job...
I can't be the only one who gets a huge smile on my face when Max or Lady make an appearance?
Hi Matt, Invest in a Drill Doctor. They work great and you can sharpen broken or dull drill bits in minuets and get back to work. No trips to buy more bits. You can sharpen them all the way down to the end of the flute. Saves big time and money!!!
I watch Mike Patey build airplanes in northern Utah and Matt build Jeeps in southern Utah, and it couldn't be MORE different! Mike's tolerances are nuts, Matt throws things together and both work for them.
This channels so wholesome he just went over about how there's a time crunch now and they needed to get a lot done in a short while. Then next part is all of them having a nice dinner with family and Friends 🤣
You guys should record that song. It was pretty good. In the background just have a track of snapping drill bits, ding included.
Max looks like he would even settle for a toy rabbit at this point.
He's like, "Am I still grounded?"
“Cut it to length, beat it to fit and paint it to match “ was my old motto. Works pretty good!
This custom build would make the best craftsmen proud for sure.
Lol love how they use a framing hammer to pound steel and a Ball peen hammer to break apart the wooden engine crate. 🤣
So glad to see a stroker installed into the amazing machine
Stroker equals more torque and better pull for stuck vehicles.
YES! Main Street Cafe. The folks who run it are fantastic and the food is even better. If you are ever in Hurricane, you will not be disappointed by a visit to the Main Street Cafe.
Country music poetry slam interlude was fab!
" We'll Get It Done ". Good work, I be happy to see the Banana back in service! 👍👍👍
When you said stabbing and engine in there. I knew exactly what you meant. I've used that term while doing a few jobs. Usually it's used in "now I got to weasel and stabb that in there. A few choice words and possibly a busted knuckle maybe involved."
We do thank you for your nice joba and being such a lovely family to watch and learn. God bless you all.
“Lay off at the gym, Rudy!” Funny comment, Trevor. 😂😅🤣
Goodmorning here from Colorado! Love Matt's off-road recovery
Glad to see at the end of the day ya got it stabbed in there 😂🍻👍
Love your videos Eric! Helped me out quite a few times and your rust prevention treatments are the best
Here's a big thumbs up from a ZJ owner in the UK. 👍 🇬🇧
I like everthing about this video but the best part of all is watching a family having fun & working together ! Y'all are truly blessed . :-)
With the new self driving vehicles. It's only a question of time. Before we get a song about a cowboys truck leaving him. Lol God bless
Lot's of stuff going on but you made some good progress guys !! It's been hot here too and working 10 plus hour days leaves little time for anything else so congrats on getting done what you did/have gotten accomplished !!
Awesome show as usual ....
That is a thing of beauty. Makes me wish I took more interest in learning about automobiles when I was younger. Now I just learn from youtube videos and do minor diy projects to my own car.
I THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKEING THESE VIDEOS..ITS A PLEASURE TO BE INCLUDED IN ALL THAT UR DOING..MAY GOD BLESS EA OF YOUS IN MATTS OFF ROAD RECOVERY GROUP...STAY SAFE ALLWAYS...
Measure third, cut twice, safety...
Matt and teams design style gets rear world results, nothing wrong with that.
Yep they get ‘rear’ world results, I agree.
*
My bad, but perfection doesn't get noticed.
Matt “no napping!” Rudy “watch this!” 😂
After watching you guys & Lizzy redo the Banana, Morvair and created the Wrecker … as well as pushing vehicles to their edges … I have a completely different perspective now … thank you for sharing your amazing world!
You moved the jeep to the motor! I once jacked a car up, connected a chain to the motor, then jacked the car down. I know that was dumb and sketchy, but it worked. I like the way Matt gets things done! Great video!
New MORR video and new Fabrats video. Good Sunday 👍So Lizzy's making rescues on her own? Awesome 👌
I hope Lizzie has captured some of her solo MORRvair recoveries!
Colin got that manifold looking pretty good
This was good stuff. I love going back and watching these old classics. Your guys engine shanking skills are pretty impressive lol.
The winder towing crew is the most funny fabrication youtube group. Not the jokes they try to make, just unintentionally.
I Can't wait see my Jeep Running again!!
Matt is a Genius he knows how to motivate his crew which is rare now days. Teaching young people skills like this is almost unheard of
blue lives dont exist....
@@perryleduc1954 neither do do losers like you. We always know who the criminals are. Lol.
Yes you can get the tropical configuration for build and cooling system on that Cummins and it will run like a champ.
Ive been away for three days tenting in a nature reserve with little to none phone coverage just enjoying the silence. This video is the fist one Ive seen since coming home, its like s visit to a nuthouse. Keep on keeping it a bit nutty
"Stab" is not an uncommon term for installing a powertrain, particularly when the engine and transmission are longitudinal and installed as an attached pair and where it's actually possible to install in that fashion. The particular verb is fairly dependent on exactly how one goes about doing the install. I would not expect that word to be used for the installation of a powertrain into rear engine, rear wheel drive vehicle where it installs by lowering the car body down onto the positioned assembly.
ABSOLUTELY.
I agree with the rear engine idea, No one wants to be stabbed n the rear!
@@rctjacksonville There are entire genres of films that would seem to indicate otherwise.
@@TWX1138 Your probably right about that.
@@TWX1138 even in rear engined vehicles I’ve always referred to it as stabbing the engine.
Good ol' one eye Matt running a grinder again without glasses and Rudy too. The devil always gets his due when you tempt fate. It's a long drive to St. George when you're blind and bleeding.
As I watched you guys breaking drills, I couldn't help but notice the milling machine in the background...I think they invented those a long time ago, when some guys were working on most likely a Banana vehicle of some sort. One guy said, "If only they had a machine that would drill holes safely, straight, and at the right RPM. We could stop breaking these drills." then the other guy said " Nah we have Makitas"....
Kind of reminds me of my old 69 ford pickup with a 300 inch straight six motor. Boy I wish I had all that torque in my 2022 jeep Gladiator Rubicon boy that thing would go about anywhere.
Matt I can’t wait to see how the new engine and steering works I always liked the Toyota style boxes anyway looks great my compliments to you and your team👍🏻
good job on the intake colin.thats where i started cleanup
When matt started singing the theme song, we were at that point, both singing together. It was beautiful.
Doing laundry here in Cali after a great Sunday, Morning coffee with the guys, Home Depot shopping and puttering around the yard.
If you guys don't have one yet I think it's time for you to get a drill press machine. Like the cool vids and hope everyone is having a good day.
I've seen them use a vertical lathe as a press before.
Bridgeport comes to mind....
You should have had a little ceremony to salute the Banana 4.0 motor and all the pulls it did. RIP soldier.
You guys with your $40 hand drills when you have a Bridgeport style mill in the background!!!! Killing me.
I learned to drive my 1st farm truck sitting on a milk crate that was awesome
We are going to get a lot of work done today. Let's go to lunch.
You have everything on this channel, singing, graffiti, impression, lunch, and no naps for Rudy. The Banana is going to be cool!
Yeah, the nap thing was a bit of extreme. It's like no one has ever heard of Siesta.
VERY VERY glad to see Lizzy's hair up out of the way in the workshop, Thanks Guy's, Fan of Lizzy and the rest of the crew from Australia.
Can we all just appreciate how buff Rudy got??????????
Dewalt drill bits are the best bang for buck. I stopped using the HF ones as they are garbage by comparison.
Spend 10 bucks for a good bit or spend a buck each and buy 20...
So you're saying . . . you plan to take the Banana out of state after a fresh seat-of-pants rebuild, on tight schedule for an urgent mission. I think my entertainment for late September is already lined up.
For the record, I'm with you Matt. I've always said stab it in too. You're not alone.
692 thousand subscribers outstanding Matt and crew and Lizzy as well hello Lizzy and yaw your family that helped as well and your lovely beautiful wife too!!!!!
I was just in Utah yesterday exploring the state never realized how big it is
It’s like most western states, just huge expanses of nothing and the majority of population centered along the northern mountain ranges and small towns scattered around the rest.
@@chubbrock659 I really enjoyed the expanses of nothing felt less crowded than colorado
@@ironicchannelname6457 me too man, love it.
"How do we have a successful CZcams channel" next scene they are all skipping out the door
I really want to learn that editing technique.
Because there's plenty of goofy people that enjoy them bring goofy
Well not typically people you'd want to meet (needing your vehicle to be towed), but nice people & family business (plus you get a free t-shirt!). Fabrication work on vehicles (like the Banana) very impressive. Laid back work atmosphere reminds me of Mayberry (circa Andy Griffith Show). Few people are as lucky these day's in that regard & best wishes to them..
You know someone has been busy when they can sleep in an uncomfortable chair in a noisy workshop. Love afternoon naps.
Please wear safety glasses, Matt. Especially with a grinder.
Trevor: "Where do you want to start?"
Me: "With the pressure washer."
Rudy: "On one side."
... I guess I'd have to be there to put in my 2¢. 😂
Soo nice when u have the right equipment and the right people. Well some of the right people lol
Matt that's an amazing video thank you so much watching all the way from Spain I really enjoyed always a pleasure watching you guys build stuff put things together and enjoy what you're doing God bless you guys as well as your family and friends thank you so much I really appreciate it all the way from Spain peace out
