I really appreciate these guys. They are very professional, no cussing, or trying to act tough. They actually know how to have an actual conversation, which is very rare these days.
For those who don't actually know -- Howdy Doody was a popular children's television show that ran from 1947 to 1962. One of its most iconic elements was the Peanut Gallery. What was the Peanut Gallery? The Peanut Gallery was a group of live children who were part of the show's audience. They sat in a special section of the studio and interacted with the hosts and characters. The term "Peanut Gallery" was borrowed from vaudeville, where it referred to the cheapest seats in the theater, often occupied by rowdy audience .
I was in the Howdy Doody show as part of the Peanut Gallery audience in Toledo Ohio. Must have been 1960-ish I was ten years young❗️😃 lived in a small farm village Arcadia Ohio😄 In S. Cal now
Peanut Gallery predates howdy doody - refers to the cheap seats, where the lowest "class/culture" would be and would heckle vaudeville performers by throwing some of the peanuts they were snacking on. I've also heard it explained in a racial way as segregated theaters would only allow blacks be in the balcony at the back of the hall.
It's really nice to see Rudy again! He doesn't know me, but his presence in the earlier years, videos, was always appreciated. And, congratulations Matt, on your continued professionalism!
Hey Matt, In Michigan (my home state) at Silver Lake Sand Dunes, the Heavy Wrecker there used Smooth (take off / 2nd hand used) Aircraft Tires for decades ( since 70’s ) obviously that setup was strictly setup for dunes. But farmers also use those tires on JDeere equipment for extreme load rating air pressure capacity for road use due to high temperature asphalt that smokes a typical tire. You may not need them, but keep those aircraft tires in the back of your mind as you may have a use for them in a future project. Keep on with the great content, love the crew and stay humble. Cheers, Dennis and Leslie
For those wondering Matt straps and Backstraps are very different. One is very helpful to get you out. The other is the reward after you get out and is very tasty when grilled.
The difference is, the suitcase welder is flux core. It's run electrode negative which puts 2/3 of the heat into the job, unlike solid wire which is run electrode positive which puts 2/3 of the heat into melting the wire. Solid wire is great for sheet metal to medium gauge but requires more skill, and you push the weld pool. Flux core is great for heavier jobs and field use and especially on dirty jobs (like paint and grease) and you drag, so also great for welding downwards.
@@ShadowClan1965 Yeah, I believe it's the Karnage Welder someone gave them. Internal battery gives 15 minutes of weld time, but that would depend on what you are welding. If you want something with the same welding characteristics but running off mains power, almost any small MIG welder set up to run gasless fluxcore should do the job. If you have limited power input (eg 110V) then fluxcore will get you welding on thicker materials than solid wire.
"Your dad must still buy your tires"... Brought back a funny moment for me. When I first started driving, my dad said, son, I paid for the first set of tires, the rest are on you. Edit... It was a 1970 Camaro I started driving in 1977
That's funny. Growing up, one of the old man's marine buddies was the general manager of Firestone's Salinas, CA plant. I used to use Parnelli Jones Firesones on my '69 SS396 Camaro. When I needed a set, the old man would call his friend, he'd head out onto the factory floor, grab a new set in the size I wanted, mark them as blemishes and send them to the Firestone store near where we lived marked as hold for me. When I showed up, everybody would come over and want to know how I knew Bob Jones. They'd also remark how there wasn't a blemish on those tires. I also got the employee discount, so the new set was less than half price. I still had to pay for them, but it was much less painful, plus I made a whole new batch of friends at the local Firestone store. Then the Japanese (Bridgestone) bought out Firestone and closed down the Salinas plant. That was a sad day...
I can't believe the build is so close to being complete. It has been amazing to see it all happen. Glad you all had a blast while away too. Thanks for all the awesome videos!
The lower half of a passenger door for a Rzr was 300 bucks a few years ago. I won't say how I know, but I know. MORR excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
MOOR, absolute favorite channel on YT. Thanks for family friendly, off road educational content. I would like to ask where Jeffe has been or gone, I like and miss seeing him around.
8:30 apparently: The verb squizzle is an imitative or expressive formation that was first used in the 1850s. The earliest known example of squizzle in writing is from 1856 by "J. Phoenix". Also Squizzle is also the name of a watermelon pomegranate beer by Lupulin Brewing. The beer is described as a bright, fruity blend with a tartness balanced by sweet and juicy undertones.
Great channel. Thanks. FYI, I am 74 years old and not being of your background I spent a good portion of my young adulthood frequenting local watering holes and I even held a couple of part time jobs as a bartender. Back then the long skewers that you used to stir mixed drinks and spear olives for said drinks were called " SWIZZLE STICKS ". 😮😂
Rudy!!! Oh Hi...! It was a ton of fun to see Rudy here again, fixin' stuff and gettin' it done with Matt like old times. (Rudy must need a few spare parts!) 😉LOL Now get back to work, Rudy! You have a really cool Mini Cooper to finish, and we all wanna know where you're gonna eat, and sleep, and "etc" in it during the ride! Have a good one. Your On-X Mini build has been a blast to watch. Great to see you workin' with your Dad- and "Kudos" to you, Matt! You're a fine teacher!
It's insidious stuff. It's not like quartz beach sand. Gets into everything (gets into your shoes, then goes right through your socks) and changes the color to pink/orange depending on the sand. My floormats were pink for a week after leaving Utah, lol.
Thanks for the video and welding lessons. My dad made up a similar word “skirkle”! He used it for multiple reasons, but most when he “accidentally”squealed the tires on Mom’s Cutlass.✌️
Squizzle, first used in 1850's. I love it ! Great video, as usual. Good work everybody! The editing is on point, thanks for the hard work it takes to share these gems with us!!
Jake has to be one of my favs, funny guy and when we met up at your shop, he was super friendly and great to chat with. I am sure you all are proud to have him as a member of the awesome MORR crew! Keep up the great content.
Great video! Nice recoveries and no damage, no injuries and no charge!! That's amazing!! The customers must really like you a lot!! LOL!! You'll have to get Jake out and do some dune time so he's comfortable driving in them. Keep up the good work and be sure to tell Peanut she's always been the real star!! LOL!!
Knowing how to weld and knowing what to weld are 2 different things I see. That Lower Track Bar mount was not well attached to begin with. I agree with Matt's assessment.
Those were the best welds added to that axle! I think that upper brace is more tacked in and held up by paint. I'd recommend checking them over at home. Great kids Matt!
MATT! Hope you get this. Here, in New Mexico, the wife and I went up up on Mt. Taylor (just outside Grants). The mountain got a TON TON TON of rain this summer, and it showed. The road up was just fine, but once the small gravel ran out, it was on to the dusty dirt surface of the road/trail to the upper elevations. To cut it short, everything was dry, but the rain had left serious "ruts" and "washouts". Was having fun going up that I didn't realize what I was getting into. Finally, the wife and I decided "ENOUGH!", as the road was just not passable any further ahead. This was a narrow rut filled trail. From this point (10,000ft), I needed to do a 180 to escape the jaws of getting stuck up there. (trust me, nobody would have found us for several days, I am sure!) "WHAT WOULD MATT DO?", is exactly how I approached it. Got out and assessed the situation and create a game plan. I put my 07 Sequoia in reverse and used the side of the mountain to back up the rear and turned hard "driver". Locked into 4L .... I spun the tires in reverse. WHAT A BUNCH OF NOISE!! LOL It helped that the toe ball/hitch acted as a buffer to the mountain side wall, too! Sure enough the front of the Sequoia wheeled to the right, as I was able to achieve the 180 status required. (am making this sound too easy... it wasn't) lol Once we started on the downgrade we saw what seemed to be easy going up, but a big trial heading down. I asked "what idiot would have come up here in the first place?". I didn't have to look in the mirror to answer that! lol We evaded the rest of the deep ruts to get to level forest floor. WOW.... what a trip. Kept my cool, like I say.... asking myself; "what would Matt do?". It worked. So just wanted to say what influence you had on a 72 yr old/cancer trying to have some fun. The trip up was a blast. Cyndi (wife) and I laughed about it several times today. I know we will get more laughs out of it going forward, as well. Just wanted to share. Oh, and the purpose of the trip (from Albuquerque) was to see the Aspens in full color, and it was that. Fantastic time!! Paul From New Mexico!
And that's why stick welding is better. If you're carrying 3/32" 7018 and 1/8" 6010 you don't need a flappy wheel. The 6010's aggressive burn will clean all the paint off and give a good root pass. And no need to change settings because they burn at the same amperage with the two different sizes.
That wasn't true MIG with a shielding gas, that was a Flux Core wire he was using. You can tell by the absence of a gas bottle and the lite brown/tannish color of the slag left behind. There are flux core wires that are pretty much the functional equivalent of 6010 or 6011. For burning through truly knarly garbage the stick is a bit better but some of the flux core wire is pretty good at it also. He certainly got the job done here. As for laying down metal it's not even close the wire feed is far superior. As these small portable suit case wire feed welders become less expensive, stick welding will probably go the way of the dodo.
@@stuglenn1112 then you don't really understand industrial welding that much do you? I've been a millwright for over 25 years and I came up in a steel mill. Wire feed is welding for dummies. A monkey can mig. And unless you're running 1/16th wire, you're not getting penetration. Did you ever set up a mig a hundred feet off the ground on the underside of a crane?
@@jpolish420 Retired now but worked 33 years in power houses everything from nuclear to a wood burner. We use to say some trades required a big hat (brains) and some a big shirt (brawn) as for millwrights they had the biggest shirts of all. Sorry you don't like MIG, I guess having to adjust two knobs instead of just one is too much for you to grasp.
Khalin was impressed with the suitcase welder. Good job flipping the SXS and letting Jake get some sand time. Rudy did your dad tell you the same thing when you did a burnout?
5:37 😂 Little that the boys know that they've been in training all this time, to take over the business cus their pops is basically retired now so get ready boys!! 👍🏼 🙌🏼
They put a camera on her before, it's almost nauseating to watch, extremely shakey and all over the place. You can't really watch video of a dog running around. Only when they are going real slow, or stopped.
Whoa, Rudy is all grown up now!!! Man, these years have gone by really quickly!!! From the first Matt's Off Road Recovery video he was in until this one. I obviously say this from the perspective of if I didn't continue following Rudy after he left his dad's channel - for anyone who wasn't wise enough to realize that - Yep, Rudy does have his own channel and it was the main reason for branching out on his own LOL
You should bolt some Milwaukee Packout mounts in the back of the rigs, then figure out what you want inside the Packouts.. that way you can just move the boxes from rig to rig, plus have them locked in place, so encase of a roll over, you don't have tools flying all over the place.
You know how whiskey barrels are used again and again by another distiller or wine maker? Is there some sort of trade network for worn 4x4 tires? New for mud or whatever and then when they're well-worn they go to the sand trails.

You said it well! One reason I have kept coming back.
They are not!
Matt, you have every reason to be extremely proud of your sons. They are all friendly and skillful. Great family.
Matt and his wife did a great job as parents
It was awesome to see Rudy on a job with you all again!! Thank you for sharing MORR team💯💪🏼😀
What's the bet the customer will be four wheelin' for the next 5 years on those welds... 🤣
It's only temporarily until it's not.
It is very good if he also takes Matts suggestion of adding extra
Every temporary repair is a permanent repair.
Nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.
They should have talked it down more - the clint will just throw a coat of paint on it and keep wheeling!

Jake's Nascar entrance was flawless.
The gearing and power on those winches blows me away. Combined with the thinnest of the synthetic rope it looks like straight up magic.
Love seeing Matt and Rudy together. Rudy is a good kid. My favorite episode with him is when he bought Kaulin the chevy pickup.
Mine is when he backed his XJ up suicide road on that super sketchy recovery of that guy who services cell phone towers.
So good to see Rudi again. Matt should do whatever he can to get Rudi on as much as possible.
9:29 - okay okay, hmmm.. okay 😂😂😂 watching the older brother and dad inspections is great lol
You know it's a good weld when it passes the dad AND big brother tests 🤣
Peanut is living her best life.😃
"Your dad must still buy your tires"... Brought back a funny moment for me.
When I first started driving, my dad said, son, I paid for the first set of tires, the rest are on you.
Edit...
It was a 1970 Camaro I started driving in 1977
🤣
Ain’t that the truth, man having this on in the background I instantly caught his words.
That's funny. Growing up, one of the old man's marine buddies was the general manager of Firestone's Salinas, CA plant. I used to use Parnelli Jones Firesones on my '69 SS396 Camaro. When I needed a set, the old man would call his friend, he'd head out onto the factory floor, grab a new set in the size I wanted, mark them as blemishes and send them to the Firestone store near where we lived marked as hold for me.

I also got the employee discount, so the new set was less than half price. I still had to pay for them, but it was much less painful, plus I made a whole new batch of friends at the local Firestone store. Then the Japanese (Bridgestone) bought out Firestone and closed down the Salinas plant. That was a sad day...

Great to see Rudy with the you all! Just like old times!
That little wielder in a box does a pretty good job it looks like. The back seat is Peanut's domain so it appropriate to be named the Peanut gallery.
Its a Karnage Welder
Beautiful scenery. Very talented crew. That side by side looks EXPENSIVE and super fun to drive.

@@jpolish420them are some funny words magic man
@@jpolish420 Retired now but worked 33 years in power houses everything from nuclear to a wood burner. We use to say some trades required a big hat (brains) and some a big shirt (brawn) as for millwrights they had the biggest shirts of all. Sorry you don't like MIG, I guess having to adjust two knobs instead of just one is too much for you to grasp.
"Doors busted, Nascar engaged" really caught me off gaurd. I almost spit my Mtn Dew all over 😂😅
OG Rudy! I love it...feels like the ole days....more please.
RUDY!!! So nice to see him back at the old nest! ❤
The difference between a temporary weld and a permanent weld is a can of spray paint away 😊.
Khalin was impressed with the suitcase welder. Good job flipping the SXS and letting Jake get some sand time. Rudy did your dad tell you the same thing when you did a burnout?
It's nice seeing an XJ and a WJ wheeling together in the same shot.
5:37 😂 Little that the boys know that they've been in training all this time, to take over the business cus their pops is basically retired now so get ready boys!! 👍🏼 🙌🏼
How about an episode filmed from Peanut's perspective? That pup rocks!
Colby, put a goPro on Peanut's collar, and see if the footage will make some good edits.
It sure has been nice to see Rudy and Eric on the channel! Love the end scene… “Your dad must still buy your tires!”.. LMAO!😅
Man, you can tell Peanut is just living her best life.
I really like that you work with your sons.
Could Peanut have her own channel when she goes out with you guys if she had some sort of pov camera and let us see what she sees?
They put a camera on her before, it's almost nauseating to watch, extremely shakey and all over the place. You can't really watch video of a dog running around. Only when they are going real slow, or stopped.
Awesome Rudy ! I miss him on the channel
A squizzle is also what comes out of a Cheez Whiz can.
Whoa, Rudy is all grown up now!!! Man, these years have gone by really quickly!!! From the first Matt's Off Road Recovery video he was in until this one. I obviously say this from the perspective of if I didn't continue following Rudy after he left his dad's channel - for anyone who wasn't wise enough to realize that - Yep, Rudy does have his own channel and it was the main reason for branching out on his own LOL
Give the guy a break. He can weld. 😊
Love your videos! And always love seeing peanut. New shirt idea- came for the offroad, stayed for peanut 😁😁
Loved seeing the two boys with you! Laughed at "The older brother inspection"!
Y’all rescue vehicles all the time. Have y’all ever had to rescue people? CPR, treat wounds, etc…. Great show!! Really enjoy watching!!
You should bolt some Milwaukee Packout mounts in the back of the rigs, then figure out what you want inside the Packouts.. that way you can just move the boxes from rig to rig, plus have them locked in place, so encase of a roll over, you don't have tools flying all over the place.
@22:00 NASCAR engaged! 😂😂😂 loved it!
You know how whiskey barrels are used again and again by another distiller or wine maker? Is there some sort of trade network for worn 4x4 tires? New for mud or whatever and then when they're well-worn they go to the sand trails.
Oak barrels should only be used once for aging whiskey. Then they are turned into chunks or pellet fuel for smokers.
I love Peaunut! She seems like such a sweet girl.
