      After my retirement I am always in the workshop, I am treated as part of the owners family.
      It's amazing how many customers will come straight to me for advice rather than going to the younger staff.
      You can definitely see that Ed is not only a friend to everyone at morr he is a special part of Matts family.

      I know I posted it before, but the story with Ed, is that when Matt bought the land, Ed was basically squatting there, even though he used to own it. Matt was told that Ed was an alcoholic and a thief and could never be trusted. He was advised that he should throw Ed off the property. Matt not only allowed Ed to stay, but accepted him as a member of his family…. The rest is history

    Just some advise I've learned. When you cut a spring you make it stiffer. I know you said you want it to do good through the whoops and cutting the spring to get the ride height you want might make it to stiff in the whoops. Definitely something to think about. ✌🤙

    • @jaredlancaster4137

    25:55 Year ago I was combining two pickup trucks into one heavy duty flatbed, I put the gs tank out of the scrap truck, on the flatbed so it had TWO (it was a really simple job) ..
    AND I had one of those OLD "two way" brass valves, 26:11 That I got at an auction years before. It worked perfectly, I mounted the valve under the flatbed, and the fuel line plumbing, was simple!
    Only one tank had a fuel gauge though :o)

      @@flurpoidamen, I’ve owned a truck/suv from all 3 of the major automakers and they all do some things good, some things bad. Fords are underpowered (at least in the era of the modular 4.6/5.4), Chevys are in a constant state of needing small jobs done (they’ll always run though, just not well), and Dodge has…. many issues, but lots of soul. And Hemis. And I enjoy all three equally! Declaring loyalty to a brand that exists just to profit off your loyalty is just silly 😅
