Not wanting to be a stick in the mud but I didn't see you put in the exit/entry hose going to the radiator I assume you treated/painted the inside of the tank the same as you did the outside. The radiator return hose is normally on the top with a tube down into the tank but stops 3/4 from the bottom so if the radiator spits out muck or small rust bits then it will settle on the bottom of the tank , then when it sucks back on the liquid it only takes good clean coolant if the hose is on the bottom then you can sort of guess what sort of problems this can cause especially if rust flakes settle and block the inlet/outlet.Overflow tanks helps with the overall general health of the whole cooling system not just as a catch can . Other than that it looks awesome and is probably bigger than originally so more coolant must be a good thing
I was in a situation like this-- it was much steeper, but a dirt cliff-- not sand... but we didnt' have enough rope, so I ended up using 100' extension cord.. It was close enough where I could wrap the cord around three times, and then tie it off... and it pulled the truck up the cliff, and didn't even break the cord; we used it the next day. If you try to use an extension cord as a straight single pull-- it will break quite easily, but loop it 3 times or more-- and it has enough copper there to not break. Pretty cool.... I tied the ends with a bowline-- so it was easy to untie.
@@barryking9002 I had the same question about the radiator blow-off hose. Saw holes drilled for filler and two for sight glass, but not for the blow off hose..Great fabrication job!
Matt is old school and eye balls. You have technology and a huge plasma cutter, etc. I love seeing the 2 generations working with their hands creating amazing off-roaders - using the machines of their generation! Wish you continued success! Would love to meet you one day! ❤️🐞
@David Lightman I just did. And so does the dictionary. Engineering: "The application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems."
@Vannadel Yep. And a person does not have to be a professional engineer with an accredited degree to engineer something. The major validation is whether the product accomplishes what it was designed to.
@Vannadel not sure who you referring to as " famous inventors", but engineering degrees we're not available, at least in the US, until the early 1800s. That means there was a lot of inventing going on without anyone actually having an engineering degree. All throughout history, the pyramids, gothic cathedrals, Stonehenge. All of these constructions required a detailed understanding of physics and how materials react under pressure. Many of the world's greatest creations were done without an engineering degree.
As you get the Rudicon "more done", you could change the fraction on the side.......19/32 Dun......23/32 Dun. Blow everyone's mind. They'd be like, "What? How do you know it's 27/32 Dun?" LOL (I like fractions) Loved the part when the hole saw fell out of the drill press and your reaction. Love your videos!!
@@baumsquad222 rly bruh, of all the things they could stage you think they stuck themselves at the bottom of a sandy hill too far down for a recovery by winch? running field shuttles up and down sand in like 100 degree heat?
@@masonsunderland8126 I think he is right though. The rescue was not staged but the call probably was. Like Matt called him, and Rudy said call again in three minutes Dad, I will sat right next to my rig and say my line, then you call me.
Remember all the times we've all called our dad's to get out of a pickle... it's nice to have the favor returned. I know he appreciates it a LOT!!! Nice job on the RAD too!!!
Janelle, truly the Mistress of Understatement. "That's pretty steep" It's always nice how she sums everything up and always looks like 'we should be working'. Nice fab job on the overflow tank and great job on the recovery
The Rudicon has come a long way since I first saw it. I welded in a sheet metal shop, and having the shears and brakes save a lot of time. Great job on the overflow tank !!
It won't be The Rudicon if it's all done, there's always room for new ideas and improvements, trials and tribulations, triumph and desperation. I'm glad to be here, MORR is still good but I miss your cheerful it'll-be-fine-disposition. It's a flashback to my younger self before my life became overshadowed by chronic depression and anxiety 24/7. 👍
Rudy, You need to do a "Background" video of how you and your Dad got into the Jeep XJs. What year is your XJ and is it the first one you owned? They are by far one of the best offroad vehicles, the size of the XJ gives it an advantage over other offroad rigs as you can get in and out of some very tight trails that full size vehicles just can't do. Keep up the great content!
Little tidbit of advice. Shades to protect your eyes need to be UV-a and UV-b blockers. Also side protection is a must as light reflecting off the backside of the linse can damage your eyes. Even though we can't see it, the UV coming off the plasma is very bright and will damage your eyes, especially if its reflecting off the back side of the linse.
Happy 4th Rudy & Janelle, nice job on the overflow can, that's a serious slope getting that razor & your Dad out, if you get any RAD swag let us know, great video ❤😉👍
As a fellow Utahn, thanks for representing us Rudy! You and your duel Canadian citizenship are great ambassadors. We live in a beautiful state, albeit dry, but a great place to be in this lifetime.
The reservoir turned out good, nice little side project. With all of the steel and equipment you have in your shop, you might have to build your own heavy wrecker. Rudcon did good, glad you had the extra motor for it. The channel going pretty good!
Amazing build Rudy, you have a gift my friend, makes me wish I took auto shop more seriously as a kid!!! lol. How did you come to have such an amazing shop full of tools and welder at a very young age??
21st century steam punk design, truly adorable! And here’s why: form still follows function, steam punk or not!!!!!! Oh, and this: that orange and those skies? Phenomenally beautiful! Thanks for warming my heart!
I love your videos. Down home showing everyone can actually do there own work. Just like Eric O says on south main auto. " just remember viewer's, if I can do it, so can you"
@6:30, When I was a rookie machinist an old guy walked by and looking at my setup said, "One clamp is not a clamp." "What is it then?", I asked. His answer has stayed with me for 30 years. He said, "It's a pivot."
Enjoying watching the Rudicon progression. Has to be a pretty good compliment when Matt calls you for help,even though you know it's gonna be a tough job😉
Don't you want to teach CNC usage to Paul ? 🤣 9:03 Like father, like son 😋 By the way, nice job Rudy, you looked so proud that your dad ask you for the rescue :D
Nice reservoir! The clear vinyl hose may work for a while but the heat from the radiator will soften it and cause it to break. There is similar hose with string webbing in it that should work.
Nice job on that can...and it works which makes it even better! so ya got a call to help your dad and then get him out. Great days work ~ have a safe Forth . .Rudy, Jenelle and The wonder Dog Otis.
Yes, the cap is vented on the reservoir.

Ever seen a battery explode? If you're having it there either put it in a box of get a gel cell

Does Matt get a Rudy's Adventure and Design shirt? He made a call!
He didnt get a shirt but he gets to wear the shame at family supper i think!! LOL
Forget the shirts, he should be able to stick a RAD sticker ON the bananna (or other MORR rig) as payment for the call.
🤔
No nope
LOL
Gassing up before the rescue? That’s breaking with family tradition! 😉
Always good to see you and your dad working together. That was quite the hill.
They do make a good team don't they
@@warrenpartington3211 Matt and Jamie have a habit of raising little people right it seems.

And both guys have great spacial reasoning, creativity, practical understanding of engineering and physics, and the guts to try stuff.

I second Mr.V's fractioning idea - and throw in a few decimal points for good measure
Great recommendation! Awesome personality 😎!
It could eventually be 150/100 more Dun than expected..
@@reverendhortonheat163 Yeah!! Decimals are pretty cool, too!! :)
The timing of the call was perfect. "Reservoir is done, now we have an excuse to go roading." *ring, ring*

Love the tank build and love that Matt HAD to be rescued...lol..great job Rudy...
Can hardly wait to see Matt's video of this rescue and why he made the call 🤣
Go get em Rudy and his little man als your special lady !! 🇺🇸Happy 4th🇺🇸👍🏻🦅😎
Amazing work all around Rudy!!! Great seeing what you are up to!! 😋
I actually do miss Rudy on Matt's channel but I'm glad he has this one tho
Best Rudy content yet. Feels like you are finding your own voice with this one. And Jenelle and Otis are integral to that voice.
Happy 4th Rudy & Janelle, nice job on the overflow can, that's a serious slope getting that razor & your Dad out, if you get any RAD swag let us know, great video ❤😉👍
Rudy to the rescue lol
Pausing at 0:38 - As one working in infosec, that backdrop on the CNC, the Tux penguin with "Command and CNC" was epic!
WOO HOO! Good job Rudy and Jenelle!
We are enjoying your videos Rudy. I liked watching you design and cut the parts.
Excellent job on the reservoir Rudy and Saving Matt
Hi Rudy, Seems like your channel is growing pretty fast. Keep up the good work and just be amazing. God Bless!

Excellent jerb on the reservoir tank... and another successful rescue of dad...
The '1/2 Dun' is coming along nicely 👍
Thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing
Good job on the recovery tank Rudy. You got dad out also, you are just an OK son to have around.
Matt's off road recovery recovery..
Good job 👍🏼👍🏼

GLAD TO SEE UR TECH SAVVY AND SAFETY SMART!!
Good timing on that completely coincidental call just after u finished 11:24 😅
I love your videos. Down home showing everyone can actually do there own work. Just like Eric O says on south main auto. " just remember viewer's, if I can do it, so can you"
I'm impressed of your GO, and I like that you are making your ovn business, and I lIke that your brothers are with you, go on brothers!!!
Nice design on the reservoir nothing gives you a better feeling than tried and true
ahhhh, yes,,it does feel good to get Dad out once in awhile doesn't it.
I'm hooked on your channel bud! Ya got sum gumption man!!! I dig how you have gone on your own! Well done !!!!
Well ! That sure was Different ! Thanks for Sharing !
Rudicon and the Banana working together like they should do! Just like Matt and Rudy!! Good I missed this!!!
Nice work Rudy. The Morrvair is laughing. Miss you on your dad's site
You know the sand is deep when it comes over the top of your boots.
Really nice work, Rudy. 💕
Great job Rudy . What a beast.
Love your channel, Rudy!
Well done on the reservoir and the recovery!
Please make sure that your reservoir has a vent in it so it doesn't create a closed system
Great job Rudy, that Rudicon is a monster!
Good job always take care of pops
Hey Rudy nice to see you back nice to see you a few more times a week THX
That is a very nice can. Great job on the design and assembly!!! Keep up the great work!!
Cool video & recovery 😁. I hadn't realized you had your own channel, should have known,lol. Thanks for Posting.
It's awesome to see the Rudicon back out on recoveries! Glad your reservior worked as designed!
Nice Work on the Tank, Rudy and the Bail-Out of your Dad too👍
Good work Rudi. The reservoir is quite cool. Nice!
Happy 4th Rudy
That was awesome Rudy. You knew exactly what to do. 👍👍👍👍 Have a safe and happy 4th. God bless 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏🙏

Dude that’s dope! Son to the rescue 🛟!! Sometimes the good old man needs a hand or two here an there. & remember even a good superhero needs help.
Your dad seems like a cool guy.
Enjoying watching the Rudicon progression. Has to be a pretty good compliment when Matt calls you for help,even though you know it's gonna be a tough job😉
Nice Work! Solid Fab and Recovery!
All that work, welding, fittings, etc, for a recovery bottle that can be had for around $ 20.
Don't you want to teach CNC usage to Paul ? 🤣
9:03 Like father, like son 😋
By the way, nice job Rudy, you looked so proud that your dad ask you for the rescue :D
that is the coolest looking overflow reservoir ever Rudy! What a shakedown run! Looked super steep and very hot. Keep up the great videos Rudy!
I still love that rack and cage you built for the Rudicon.
Rudy, half done , is better than halfass done. Keep on going, and build it to your vision. Looks great from here. 👍
Great job w coolant box and awesome job on recovery, ottis panting in back round made me hot .lo👍🇺🇸
Rudy, great soup to nuts video of day-in-the-life of you & your shop's activities!
So lucky he has you and your experience. The new Rudicon is a beast....That pop has to be getting old...Have a feeling a conversion is coming soon.
Nice reservoir! The clear vinyl hose may work for a while but the heat from the radiator will soften it and cause it to break. There is similar hose with string webbing in it that should work.

Nice build on the reservoir!!!!! It looks good and works well and great job on getting your Dad out.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍
Great job Rudy , your jeep is "KILLER " enjoy the 4th of July weekend with family and friends.
Matt made a call! Nice work.
Nice job on that can...and it works which makes it even better! so ya got a call to help your dad and then get him out. Great days work ~ have a safe Forth . .Rudy, Jenelle and The wonder Dog Otis.
