Banana, Morrvair, The Heavy Wrecker. I'm sure you've all noticed the Banana isn't going out on recoveries as much. What do you all think I should do with it?
Giveaway? :)
Always great to have a spare. Keep it for backup.
It was the only machine that could rescue Ed's Suzuki, so maybe it still has its niche for jobs in tight spaces?
Sell it to me I live in west Jordan it won't leave Utah
Keep it as a backup vehicle for the morrvair
Knowing that Matt's past is as a derby driver who went by "Junky" and Tom's past is being a nuclear engineer makes perfect sense of their dynamics in the shop
I was thinking the same thing. No wonder why Tom is always trying to be precise and use acurate mah-suring tools and Matt's just like, close enuf
Yin and Yang.
Repent to Jesus Christ ““Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”

In one of his (or Fab Rats?) older derby videos there was a sign on Matt's truck that said "Corvair Junky".
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist3go to hell
The Banana is what brought me to this channel from the beginning. It needs to stay part of the MORR recovery fleet.
100% agree :)
Me too I would be sad if she goes into retirement

@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist3 no offence , but why are you here?
I was the one stuck in the RV! Thank you so much for getting me out Matt and Tom!!! Such nice people, didn't even charge me when I asked what I owed! Long time viewer first time recoveree
From Kyle to Kyle you did a good job filming 😅
👏👏
I’ve always wondered what the cost of these recoveries are. That’s incredible they do this just to do it
@@macmedia4913 I figure they do it for content these days. With how well their videos do they're probably making 10x what they made pre-youtube. Now they can give back and use the recoveries for content. I'm sure they still charge occasionally though but that's just a guess
@@macmedia4913 he quoted me $100 at first but didn't charge at the end
I love how that old vet is out all the time enjoying the trails and not afraid to break anything on that nice Jeep. Parts can be replaced but we only get one life! That guy is living it up!
I now understand Tom’s stress when Matt does guesstimate engineering.
That does give a lot of insight. Tom's used to working in situations where micrometers are important and now with guesstimeters
Those were some very impressive qualifications. The next time Matt needs to advertise for new staff, the ad will include, 'Must have genius IQ'.
That’s right there’s no almost in ‘nuke life’
@@jdau2b yes and that's why there's never been any nuclear accidents... oh wait... 🤣 it's all guestimation engineering, also known as ALPHA and BETA testing.
given time problems will arise, insert multiple Murphy's Law's here
I was actually pretty surprised by his background. Now Matt will have to answer the question: how much do you pay Tom to get him to work for you when he could easially have a very high paying career elsewhere?
I love the wrecker, and I can't blame Matt for preferring it, but one of the best things about MORR is watching Matt's brain figure out how to use the smaller vehicles to get out the much bigger vehicles.
Or he builds a new and improved banana
Don't retire anything unless you talk 2me
@@likeablecloud2454didn’t he just do that in the last year? Bigger tires and stroked engine?
@@Kantar53 yes but if he wants to retire the banana isn't it better to just make a new and better one to replace it?
Agree with you, but I’m sure his job has been a whole lot easier daily 😅lol
The first time I remember seeing Tom on the channel he was the camp cook, grilling chicken for the crew. Then he startet working for Matt full time and turned out to be a great welder and fabricator. Now I learn he's been a physicist and nuclear engineer all along. Tom seems like a modest person and all-around nice bloke with two degrees to back up his snarky comments. Kudos! It's a pleasure to see him on the channel!
I could tell Tom was an engineer. The way he problem solves, talks, and thinks. I knew he was educated. Matt and Tom balance each other out. Matt is very talented with lots of intuition and a can do attitude and Tom is very precise and calculated. Great attributes for a team.
Can't retire the banana, it's an icon, there's lots of rescue jobs that its perfect for, or those times there's numerous rescues all at once, or as a chase or support vehicle when the morvaire or heavy wrecker go out
Hell Matt could easily use The Banana to block for his buddies running an illegal interstate beer heist 🤣
At the least it's a good scout or pre-runner, and since the wrecker doesn't have enough seating it has a place as crew vehicle.
Or to bring gas, or customers keys.
Just a click bait title, been a lot of those lately sadly.
It all depends on how strong of an asset it is to the business.
I think tom is over qualified to tell us what the weather is like 😂
even Ed was overqualified!
lmao for real
😂😂
Yup! Also Lizzy and Ed and (fill in name here!).
Tom can tell us Why the weather is.
The Banana is the most likely the best support vehicle; when you running more that one team it becomes pretty important. Nice job!
The Banana is in its prime and has a lot more to offer. Front axle just upgraded and it has continued to perform. Do not retire it!
Agree 💯
I For One would be So Sad but She is Your Car!! I Just Love Them ALL Sadly I've Been this way since I was a little girl. My Daddy would take me with him and Mom so I could cry and tell the old Car Goodbye and then Start the process ALL Over again with the New car 😂
Tom. Literal rocket scientist bringing Matt’s dreams to reality.
The closest Tom might get to nuclear engineering today, is changing the battery in an ionizing smoke detector.😁
Do we call him DR. Tom now?
@@doncyr3332 No, he has a Master's in Physics, not a PhD. He didn't say, but it's safe to assume the Nuclear Engineering degree is a Bachelor's degree. So you could call him Master Tom...
If only he wasn’t always yelling
I still miss Trevor but yeah I see Matt’s wisdom in bringing Tom on the team.
LIZZY SAYING "THE BANANA" -is reason enough to keep it 😃
The dogs having an absolute ball following in front. 🥰
Oh, and 1972, eight years old and I really wanted one of those RC cars that had the radio remote and could do almost anything for Christmas. What I got was a battery box with a two wire to a car that you had to reverse to turn left. The disappointment was real LOL.
😂 I remember those REMOTE-controlled cars than only turn in reverse.
The Banana is on the same pedestal as Trail Mater, tested and proven. She is the Flag Ship of the show.
I think she has earned her leisure time.
I’m an XJ guy and The banana is what brought me to this channel! Keep it in the fleet FOREVER! Even if just for a fun car / MOR support vehicle. That thing is a legend.
Totally. That's the rig that started it all. It belongs in the off road HOF.
Plus.....there are some tight spots that the Wrecker and Morrvair won't fit.
I don’t think people realize how truly amazing of a driver Matt is like truly he’s talented
That first customer sure has a lot of faith in his motorhome’s off road capabilities!🤣
Toms credentials are very impressive to say the least. I think you're lucky to have him on your team.
It's the greatest combo when someone like that actually loves wrenching AND gets to do it for work too!! Look forward to his own build series
I thought of Dolph Lundgren being a nuclear physicist.
I mean, I knew Tom was a nerd but wow! I didn't know he was a nuclear super nerd! Very impressive career and education. Props.
I can't go with Tom and "nerd." His capabilities and courage take him out of nerd class.
@@DougBennettActs6-1the meaning of nerd has changed over time from an insult to compliment. It basically means someone is really into something and usually implies they have a high level of competence or intelligence.
Sure, some people still use it to tease each other, but not with any real malice that I've seen.
In that context, he's definitely a nerd (and awesome).
I feel like Tom is way happier doing this job, as to his previous jobs. He makes a very happy impression, smiling all the time
I had the suspicion that Tom was highly overqualified but humble. What a great addition!
He’s really added a lot to the whole team, and fits in great, especially with Matt.
Mechanical Engineer in training here, working as a project engineer - big respect to your career Tom! I always just assumed you were a mechanical engineer by the way you handle things! Loved to hear the background!
NO - NO - NO - No
Don't do it because that jeep is very well loved by all of us watching this You-Tube and needs to still be part of the Matt's recovery family.
You can only squeeze 3 people in the wrecker so the banana could be along to hold the dogs and anyone that needs a ride.
he won't he needs it for the tight trails where the Morvair won't fit.
Possibly only 2 in the wrecker now it is getting a console in
The banana is an integral part of Matt's toolbox. So many times, multiple tools/ vehicles are used to complete a recovery.
Tom Tom, I had no idea about your background but my respect for you has grown even more. I am but a humble electrician and now, knowing that about you, the last couple years of videos all make sense to me.
The Banana can always serve as a mascot even if it's not used as often.
I love how, as soon as I put any of your videos on my 5 month old daughter will stop whatever she’s doing and just stare at the TV and watch until she either falls asleep or the video is over. Thank you Matt. Keep the content coming.
Love to know Tom’s background. The q&a element while driving was fun! I also hope that adding the “what’s in the tank” element will help keep you from being rescued by your customers…😂
The Banana is like a part of the family now man you gotta keep it and keep it in good shape. It deserves to be where it is doing jobs like it always has.
The banana is the icon of this channel, is the symbol of this channel. You can’t sell it neither give it away. She is the coolest XJ in the world. And honestly I miss seen her around, and I was happy to hear that you are falling in love with her again.
It was the only vehicle to get to the Golden Nugget! Imagine taking the Morrvair and Heavy Wrecker through that forest to recover the Golden Nugget! You never know when you may need it again. Imo it’s just another tool in your towing arsenal. Keep it on the team! 🍌💪🏼🔥
This is my take on the retiring the Banana angle. The Banana AND the Morvair, as vehicles, built this channel. The adventures and escapades of the recoveries you have accomplished with them brought your business attention AND kept it with the RUclips videos. The build of the wrecker was fantastic and yet like the Golden Nugget build it had to come to an end. The Wrecker Games was such a success it has to be kept an annual event. Recoveries with the wrecker have been, and don't get me wrong, sort of "plain Jane and vanilla" due to its capabilities for which it was designed and constructed. I am not saying to ever stage any recovery just for "dramatic effect". I am saying that the recoveries with the Banana and the Morvair were more entertaining and educational. There will always be a time where the wrecker is not the right choice for a particular recovery AND you will always may need to have a "support vehicle" for the wrecker if not for just having extra needed personnel on the ground. With the console installed in the wrecker riding three abreast is not going to be an enjoyable ride of any distance. Riding on the back can become a hazard and unpleasant to say the least. That's my take on retiring the Banana. Back to the video.
I agree, but i think the Banana Should Be a support vehicle to the Wrecker, Morvair is Fine by itself, with the age of the banana and the constant failures they had, with axles i think its better suited for support work
@@emer07jiffy The "age" of the Banana has really nothing to do with its abilities to carry out various roles. I have an 20 year old 03' Z71 Tahoe with 328,000+ miles on the odometer and as long as I keep the maintenance up on it I imagine I'll get another couple of hundred thousand miles out of it. It is my daily driver, tow vehicle and play in the Gamelands here in NC. It is slightly mod'd, nothing extreme as I am now disabled and getting in and out of it is a little bit of a PITA. The thing is I know what has been done to it and what can be expected of it and what may fail in the future. The Banana is way more built than my Tahoe as it is a "tool for the business" as opposed to me having to make trips to WallyWorld, the VA and such at 64 years old. But yeah, it seems we both agree it needs to stay.
@Ernest Paul the tahoes are great actually, im a mopar guy, i drive a 08 ram in the same situation as your tahoe, i work on mopars and ive seen some crazy stuff, the banana itself isnt bad because of age, its not bad at all really, it just seems the banana struggles at the bigger jobs, and manages it, from a content standpoint he should keep it, from a buisness standpoint it seems like it should be more of a support vehicle and for smaller jobs like the razors?
@@emer07jiffy I am 64. I grew up in a garage of Mopars, from little fire breathing 273's to 440's with a coupe of Hemis thrown in. I stayed rather loyal to the camp with a few Chevys in the mix, but after my 97' Dakota and the wife's 98' Durango computers went south I was done with them. I ended up in a money crunch when my heart decided to start to play games and sold my two 86' and 87' Ramchargers along with my 88' 3/4 ton PowerRam. I would like to get the PowerRam back and I know where it is sitting right. Back to the Banana. It will and should continue to be of use for the business in whatever role it is regulated to. I have this thing about whatever built a following and brought in money to get something going should not be put out to pasture. Sort of like when NASCAR screwed over the fan base in the South, particularly N. Carolina, to set up camp in Texas and California.
@Ernest Paul oh i agree with you, they shouldn't just throw it out, still use it, just in less intensive jobs, also happy birthday dont know when that was
, i lost my grandfather when he turned 61. He also sold a power ram and bought this 08 ram i now drive, to pay medical bills, which i am now looking for, ive been looking for 5 years now, it had about 15k on it and was pristine
Good to see Lady and Max out with you again. Now we just need Trevor, Tucker, and Skeeter back too
Where has Trevor been?
@@johnathonfontenot8187 He found employment that both was closer to home and offered more stable hours. Hour-long commutes and getting called in just as dinner hits the table both get old VERY quickly.
Keep the Banana as a tool in your box. She brought me to your channel on that long drive to the mountain top for the sideways Chevy? The honesty and surprises you show along with your courtesy and even temperament is why I watch. I’ll keep watching too.
Please keep the Banana, it still has great utility as others have mentioned. Also, the Banana brought me to this channel and although I wouldn't leave if the Banana went away, it would not feel the same. Even as a view from the other side of the US, the Banana also holds a special place in my heart. The enormous growth in my interest in Utah, off-roading, recovery, and any of those combined can mostly be traced back to watching the Banana. Side note: with the awesome people around you, yours and their amazing attitudes and KNOWLEDGE, and your amazing contributions to the community, would you consider hosting/organizing a youth offroad learning experience?
Thanks for taking the 3 dogs and giving them the opportunity to run free and scout ahead. With them around, you probably don't have many problems with snakes, and letting them run free shows the world you are a true dog lover. I'll bet they can even find gasoline, when you run out of gas in the middle of nowhere.
Being in love with the Banana is reason enough to keep it around. It gets the job done, and while you might not call on it as much, it's still the smallest rig in the fleet and can get into some tight spots.
Matt, I've got to say that I love that you let the dogs run and be dogs when you're doing recoveries. A lot of dogs that ride along on recoveries in a big dangerous city like Phoenix never get to hop out and run alongside. Keep up the good work my friend.
Really enjoyed the time with just Matt and Tom in the banana chatting. The big production videos are fun, but these classic type are great.
Here and I thought the Banana was perfectly capable, given it's past performance. It's always done what was asked of it.
Matt, grab yourself 3 of those inexpensive round metal lap counters, slap some velcro on it, and stick it on the dash or roll bar. Each time you get in the vehicle to drive off after disconnecting the customer's vehicle, give it a click. Make clicking the counter part of your filmed recoveries, and the comments section will never let you miss one.
Tom's credentials impressed me. Having started as an electrical engineer and ending up with a degree in digital technology I spent my career in IT because the engineering was too theoretical and I like making things. My hobbies 4WDing, photography and metal and timber fabrication - all self taught.
Definitely keep it as a support vehicle for the wrecker. Between hauling extra manpower and the customer it will be handy as a pocket on a shirt.
Ok I haven’t watched yet and I’ll happily eat my words if the episode changes my mind, but… the show was at its best when it was Matt and the banana, and sometimes you weren’t sure if he was going to get it out, and maybe he had to call his friends once and awhile. The heavy wrecker takes all the ‘drama’ out of the show. I’m still watching, and I’m not complaining about where the show is at now, but I kinda have a little place in my heart for the Banana.
I'm still waiting to see how he "modifies" the heavy wrecker boom system so he can't damage the customer vehicle on the way out.
No. It's the best recovery vehicle you have. Love watching the banana getting it done. ❤
probably one of the best episodes ever! a little q&a with a technical recovery
I think you should "re-tire" the banana whenever the tires wear out. It's way too useful to just park it!
The Banana is the head of your recovery "fleet" and the inspiration to go for more.....And needs to keep on doing what it has always done! Always a good reminder to go back to the basics of recovery! I have always enjoyed how the Banana can work in so many dif recoveries!
I remember watching when it was just the banana, the dogs, and ed. Miss those recoveries. I also remember asking at that time if you’d ever consider a big truck like a power wagon and you said it was too big for the trails. Now there’s the morrvair and wreaker 😂😂 so much too big
Honestly, I first started watching these videos because it showed how well the small banana (giggity) did for its size. It's like the icon to your channel personally. I'd keep it.
Toms a flippen genius! I love that hes experienced his career and has decided to do what makes him happy! I cant think of many jobs more fun than Matt and teams job!
Keep the Banana for tight spots and good ole backup!
That Cherokee is Iconic for your channel.
🎉Keep the Banana going🎉
I'm sure you guys are always watching but those dogs are greatly trained to keep up with you and avoid the trucks, I love it and I love them!
I personally like the banana. So I'd say to keep it and keep using it. Its a great back up vehicle!
Please don't ever stop using the banana.
I came to the channel back when the banana was the fleet. I saw a thumbnail of the banana pulling something why bigger the it self and being an xj guy completely in love with these trucks I had to click.
Watching you pull out full size pickups, RVs and even pickups attached to trailers in that legendary xj got me hooked to the channel and you and your team. The whole fleet is super cool, but the banana has a special spot in my heart.
The fuel update with the weather is definitely a go for future recoveries Matt.
I agree. Weather, fuel and if you've got the keys of the customer vehicle update on every video. The Q&A was great too.
Tom, I worked at Hanford for 4 years doing physical security system. Have been an aerospace engineer for 40 years. Rockets, radars, satellites, software, hardware. Spent 10 years running around in the desert in tanks. Lots of wrench time LOL. Enjoy watching your adventures. F=MA brother
Gotta say Tom Tom has been such a great addition to the channel. These two make a good duo together.
As a mathematician who also recently fell in love with a ton of practical stuff, Toms' trajectory is incredibly cool to hear!
That was an incredible recovery
I’m a 72 yr old from Melbourne Australia and I just love watching all the episodes. All you guys especially Matt seem genuinely glad to be helping people. Keep up the good work and hope to see “Ed” back on the recoveries giving his weather updates.
He hurt his neck so maybe in a few weeks he might be back in the videos
@@Dlutheran He said a few months, a few weeks ago. You Tube time is distorted.
@@toddwilliams5905 oh ok
Not often I see someone else from Melbourne on a US channel! Don't have much to add, other than hi there neighbour.
@@Dlutheran In the last video he said the neck brace should come off "on the 7th". I don't know how far behind RUclips is, but I would assume that means May 7th.
As an "engineer" myself, listening to Tom saying he loves working with his hands rather than theoretical stuff is exactly how i feel. I love building and fixing whatever i can, and it got me into cars, ive been a passenger vehicle mechanic for about 8 years now and i love it. But knowing Tom was a nuclear engineer and physicist is crazy! Definitely a good member of the team! I love watching you guys and it inspires me to build cars like you guys do, even though i dont have a shop or any money... yet lol
Very impressive Tom !!!
And you are so humble and a realist with sooo much practicality…
Please don’t retire the Banana
She’s such a capable rig !!!
I'm just happy to see max out on a recovery again
Don't ever get rid of the Banana!! I lover the Morrvair and the Wrecker but when I think of Matt's Off Road Recovery, the Banana pop's into my head first!! Even if it doesn't get used as much it's an AWESOME backup and trail vehicle!! Plus you just did all that work on it!
Matt, The escapade with the Rubicon that would not turn left is like taking one step forward and then two steps backward. You made it work. At least on the camera you showed a heck of a lot of patience. But I know in reality that no one person can "make you mad". You bring that all on yourself. It is a choice or a mindset. Something I need to remind myself more of. Like your attitude when it is cold!
I remember being so excited to have an r/c car that could finally turn with a servo, now it was finally like a real car... But no, apparently it was a decade of training in the 80s for this moment. Amazing driving Matt!
No need to retire anything. Your fleet is like a mechanics tool box. You have multiple tools that can do similar jobs, some better than others but all capable of getting a specific job done. If one of your tools is out of service for any reason, or out on another job, you have back ups. Besides, how often have you needed multiple vehicles on the same job?
Thank you TOM! I've mentioned your background to people in the comments and they've laughed at me. A couple of people I know have worked with you in the past.
Old school Matts off-road recovery can’t be beat by any RUclips channel
Old school is the best.
Matt - you do not cease to amaze me with your mad skills. And Tom Tom - wow, you have an impressive background.
👏 round of applause for Kyle
It always amazes me the level of schooling that someone has and they abandoned their field to do something different. Great stuff.
It’s called burn out. You just get tired of it and want to do something different.
Keep the Banana! Sometimes you need multiple vehicles on one recovery and sometimes multiple recoveries at once. It’s another tool in your tool box!
Respect to Tom, a lot of us engineers spend our free thinking time planning our escape but most of us never do.
The banana is always my favorite. It's the original MORR vehicle from when I started to watch :)
The banana is a great 'tight' trail recovery vehicle. I get that it's losing some of it's gumption out on the rocks compared to the others, but in the tight scrub mountain-trails out here that thing would be a godsend.
I think you should keep the banana working cause it is a legend of the channel! I want to see it around forever! Awesome video guys!
Haven't seen Ol Max for awhile. The Banana has sure taken a beating over the years, it's a testament to unibody durability. A lot of welding has been done to keep it together for sure.
Hey Matt! I love watching your videos and I just wanted you to know something. I am 60 years old and I have pancreatic cancer. And believe it or not it's on my bucket list to meet you, your family and all your crew. Hopefully I can make it out into your neck of the woods eventually. Love you guys! Keep rockin'!!
While we miss seeing Rudy and Trevor, Tom has filled the void nicely…he has proven to be a fantastic addition to the MORR family!
doesnt really replace trevor. I miss that dude, wish the work environment was better so he could stay around.
@@ittotaq why exactly did he leave??
Weird for you to assume he left because of the “work environment”
@@spitfire20122000 nobody has said
@@spitfire20122000 His new job is closer to his home and has more regular working hours than the towing business. He left MORR on good terms and they're still friends.
Lots of us were brought to this channel due to the Banana!! We've watched you due things with that Jeep that we Jeep lovers are very proud of!! PLEASE DON'T retire it! ✌🐢
I think a lot of people love XJs because they're like underdogs, they're small and they've got the ol reliable but ancient 4.0, they've got a bunch of known issues that mostly aren't severe but kind of add character and charm in a way.
They'll make you proud one day, doing something that you didn't think anything with 4 wheels could do, let alone the little rig. Next day they'll puke out their fluids and start making a new noise, but everyone thats had one has a story about how it brought them home running on 3 cylinders with a dented driveshaft and a trans with no oil in it.
Absolutely gotta love em.
Great to see all the dogs along for the recovery! Seems like it's been a while.
It's one of your icons so it really deserves to stay and promote the business. Sometimes it can still save the day. Maybe also take it to schools and shows to educate everyone about what you do, why you do it and how it's a load fun.
Great to see Max and Lady out on a recovery. I do miss seeing them regularly.
Plz don’t retire the banana. It made you who you are today. The premier XJ owner. You and the banana changed the landscape of XJ value. Crawl on to the rescue brother. We’ll be watching.
Thanks for bringing the dogs. It’s great to see all of them living their best life again.
It gripes my gizzard that people reported Matt being cruel making them run! See little Peanut wanting to get out of the window so she can go for a rip? That's a happy doggy right there.
I guess they're going to have a massive moult soon, especially the Borders. Please Ed, stop over feeding them! Don't let the big soulful brown eyes fool you!
Don’t retire the banana, long time viewers like myself enjoy watching it pull out rv’s. That’s what brought me here and will keep me here, the wrecker and morvair are just bonus content
I like seeing Lady, Max, and Peanut. Did they get some weight off?
Tom, what an education. I hope you are enjoying what you are doing now. I graduated from Purdue in 73 with a BSME. I worked 43 years before retiring.
Max is like me looking a little old , what a good pup
When it comes to affairs of the heart, and old Jeeps in particular, I totally get Matt's renewed love for the Banana. When I had 90s-vintage Cherokees (for pulling boats or just messing around) I'd often choose them over the "newer" cars that I had available. If you love your Jeeps, they love you back.
Still have my two ZJ’s as well. Cheap to own and better built then a new vehicle
I still use my 86 4runner tho it's not a jeep but she never let me down
Tom looks very happy with where he is at right now and it shows.
The banana being retired, too funny, like the Movair will never be broke 😜
Tom Tom, great respect for those degrees you earned. I have a good idea how much work that was. I got just one and went straight into general contracting because I wanted to build and couldn't stand being inside. Matt you find great people to work for you and you do treat them well, giving them the opportunity to learn mechanics and driving and give them credit for their success. Good for you.
Each of the three vehicles you’ve been running all have jobs that are suited for each vehicle. And I think I heard you saying you’re building that Suzuki samurai to do side-by-side recoveries. So I think you have a well-rounded fleet of vehicles that if one breaks you always have a vehicle able to do the job.The only thing you need now is a fueling station set up at the yard and with that hopefully you never run out of fuel again.
Love the idea of a Bulk tank at the yard. I believe it is time for this and will pay for itself in fuel costs quickly. They could put a refrigerator beside it and buy food in bulk, another big savings in time and money. A small ice chest in each vehicle would be wise too. I wonder if they could mount a seat ice chest on the back of the wreaker with a seat belt?
@@DougBennettActs6-1 I see the video now- the vehicle slowly rolls to a stop, Matt looks at Tom. Tom looks at Matt. Here's where Jamie edits in the footage of them driving past the bulk tank.....
@@dmelson7502 Lizzy has to check equipment I think daily. With bulk tank in yard, equipment check would be done while the filling the vehicle tanks.
Keep the Jeep! The whole reason that I and probably alot of other people started watching your show was seeing the Jeep and hearing that Straight 6 sing. I'm also a nuclear/mechanical engineer (only a bachelor's in nuclear chemistry and modern physics but I have my masters in mechanical engineering. I love my ZJ and enjoy living vicariously through you guys. Great video with the Banana!!
Tom is an example of being happy is the most important thing no matter what. All the best from a Aerospacial Engineer colleague Tom :)
You see that Matt Since you changed out your front axle your Jeep is doing much better in all categories in climbing and just going through sand and mud. Good job sir.😊
