Hello michael my name is MORR (Matt's Off Road Recovery) I work for the foundation of law and recovery. We've got a side-by-side with a broken UTV joint. Let's roll.
I love that Matt did the man pause when the guy behind the counter asked "anything else for you today?" Every man does this because there is a LOT more that he wants to get. lol
Yes! (In your head) I'll take a Flowmaster, a cold air intake, steel braided lines for everything, a new jack, and some of those snickers candy bars. Lol everytime!!!
Yes please on the MORR Crew doing maintenance, repairs and upgrades to the Bombi snowcat well BEFORE fall hits and snow flies at higher elevations in Utah. Most people either haven't seen a snowcat in person, or they've never ridden in one or they don't even live where it snows...and most people find snowcats to be fun to watch, interesting and kind of unique and special as vehicles go. If you build it, they will come! ;)
@@SteelheadTed maybe for mom's camry and dad's corolla ... I'd say this application sees quite different heat and endurance loads than most will ever see in daily driving. Only thing they could add to increase severity of service is add in consistent road salt spray :p
Matt's a fun guy, but his superpower is how much he enjoys the odd ball stuff. He's also a great team leader in that he enables people to become multi faceted individual contributor's.
Matt is often so dry that seeing his absolute joy in the KITT scanner is everything and unlocked his humor bone. The whole thing with the gas pedal and driving barefoot and feeling the bolt just made me cackle.
Matt's "dry" has come a long way since the beginning. It's been fun to watch him get more comfortable,being himself in front of the camera. I could never.
I just love this channel. I spent 90% of my life in southern Utah. Now that I'm in Georgia this keeps me connected to my roots. Man, I love seeing these videos of my old stomping grounds.
@@waggy401 yep. Everything that happened can be seen on the Donut video. Happened quick so there's not a lot to see but it was a pretty intense moment. Somehow I think if Matt's Team had a longer video we'd of seen it by now because they don't seem shy about uploading 45+ minutes of content per video. lol.
Anyone else love the 11:00 min mark. The growing concern on Matt’s face as it holds second gear longer and longer. The “baby what the F are you doing right now, please don’t blow up” look.
I've watched Matt's channel from the beginning years ago, watched many different crew / characters pass thought while new members join the show along the way. It's very clear to me what keeps me watching along with others who make this channel popular. It's Matt himself. Other off road channels are missing that key element, a self-effacing fun loving free wheeling common man. Matt is the spark that keeps me watching ever episode his very talented support crew produce for him.
Matt I love how your inner child is alive and well. Like who doesn't need a scanner light bar lol. It's those little joys in life that make it all worth it.
Only us 80's kids will understand how cool the scanner bar is! I hear O'Riley commercials on the radio all the time but never saw one in NJ. The first time I went to Utah I was blown away by how many were in your state.
Matt gets to pursue childhood dreams. He has a Corvair that he first saw when he was a kid on some sort of family trip and now he has added a little touch from a favorite TV show. I can relate. Little touches of that kind of whimsy add a lot of enjoyment to life.
Cool Jeepster. Nice to see O'Reilly's sponsorship. They're building a new store in my little (pop. about 12.5K) desert town. No chain auto parts stores before. Of course, no McDonald's, no Starbucks, no Subway, no Denny's, no Walmart, Lowe's, drug stores or Home Depot either. No tire shops, no supermarkets, no high school, no factories. When we bought our 1st house here, no gas stations, no cable, no natural gas, no traffic lights, no park, no freeway, no police, no medical, no library, no bank. Most important...No crowds and no traffic, no smog.
That KITT bar is the ONLY thing that was needed to get the biggest smile from Matt! lol Best addition to the team so far! Can't wait to see what KITT will do to help the MORR team, always helped the HOFF when he needed it!!
Matt looks more relaxed and having more fun than he has in a while! I can only imagine all the stuff he has going on. A million and a half subscribers? Wow! Congrats!
FWIW, my dad was a car mechanic. Our cars NEVER got fixed. After I was about 14, I did it. Tom, recall that in Hollywood, Jed was always the one to clamp it! Seats - Recaro - you'll never regret it. Carry on, folks. Always wunnerful.
A little trick for starting the spark plugs in I learned about 60 years ago. Use about a 4 inch long piece of rubber hose that will slip over the plug end. It allows you to start the plug turning and helps align the threads and start very easily.
Matt "I'm going to look for things wrong" The Internet "FUEL GUAGE!!!" Matt "I'm going to change the alternator and then dream about Morrvair meets KIT" The Internet 🤦♂️
Your Corvair / Nightrider lights are "Awesome". Brings back the good old days when my son and I would watch the show. Thank you for bring back family memories.
The KITT scanner bar is just what the Morrvair needed. I liked what you said about the anti-seize on the spark plug threads. I use a dab of anti-seize when I put new plugs in my vehicles too. I feel it’s most important to use when the plugs are going into aluminum heads. Also, the dielectric helps when removing the plug wires after the next 200,000 miles. 😂
Wipers don't work, heater doesn't work, A/C doesn't work. He always has these problems that he mentions. I enjoy his videos, but it seems like he doesn't maintain his equipment.
If you guys haven’t noticed they are a little busy. Not saying they shouldn’t maintain stuff but I can see how it could not make the high priority list until it must happen.
They might be busy, but if you at least look at one thing whenever there's time then the number of issues are going to be reduced to just the big jobs. Swapping spark plugs can be done quickly enough if it's just that. Fixing the seats is also a thing they could have done in under an hour. And they could fix one at a time too. When you wait until things break completely you never know when it's going to happen and what the implications will be. And it also means you now HAVE to fix them even though you don't have time to. And when things break completely it can easily turn into a major job, rather than a small maintenance fix. Imagine one of the sparkplugs breaking such that stuff falls into the cylinder and wreaks havoc there then goes into the valves to bend/break them which in turn messes up the camshaft/whatever. A 20 minute job turned into a 20 hour job.
Matt just seems like he’s having SO MUCH fun working on stuff and making RUclips videos right now and the enthusiasm makes the videos really enjoyable to watch.
The original spark plugs are supposed to have the very end (where the plug wire goes) painted - key words = supposed to. There are a lot of LS's with more than 200,000 on the plugs before they start giving any signs of needing replaced. I love the channel contents.
The Morrvair definitely sounds 11% smoother … Yet another 11% for the scanner bar !!! So cool !!! Tom did a fantastic job tuning the ‘carburettor’ But it’s the scanner that ‘really’ made the changes … We all know that !!!
Hi Matt! When I bought our 2005 Toyota 4Runner from the original owner in 2011, it had 225,000 miles. No codes to be seen. Idle was slow but smooth. I pulled the original copper plugs and replaced with Iridium. Gave one to the Toyota Parts Manager for a souvenir. 120 thousands of an inch gap was eye-popping. Mileage went up 3mpg overnight, idle RPM normal and running like a race horse! Now with 313,000 miles and running strong. Engine has never been open! No oil consumption between 5000 mile intervals. ❤
Love the new addition to the Morrvair, I grew up watching the night rider. This was a great episode. I enjoyed seeing everyone just hanging out and having fun. It was cool seeing everyone riding to O'Reilly's in the blue morrvair.
I bought a 74 chevy truck that ran ok. I pulled the spark plugs and they were pugs that they stopped making in 78. Once I changed them it was like a completely new truck
I’d have wanted to replace that broken rear door glass, it’s really bugging me 🤣 Great episode, and the Morrvair is just about the right era for KITT… Love the Morrvair, it’s handsome and a beast. ❤️🇷🇴
Such a great cast here. I can't get enough of them. And Lizzy, just love her to no end. It'll be a sad day when I see her go, and I know it's coming someday. She should start her own channel.
I love the Morrvair, it is a work of art. I would love to work for you Matt but my wrench turning days are over. Retired bus mechanic of 20 years, before that I was a used and new car mechanic of the 70's-90's. Stay safe.
I was so happy to see our Morvair on the Donut list. Anytime “ Matt’s off-road is mentioned anywhere it just makes me happy. But I do get a bit jealous when our equipment is spoken about like it belongs to them…. Guess what ? No it’s ours!
Really nice to see the little kid in Matt over the scanner lights. Don't ever lose that... They do serve as a way to find customers who leave bad pins though.
Thanks MATT! and Tom Tom, That's great reminding us of Kit and a good old Doc reference too. it's great to see the team working together and knowing your fridge is stocked up. Paul is probably due for a visit. 😇
I only commented on this post, but I watched the whole series of the Corvair build. I must say you guys are the best team and most versatile group of people I’ve seen and y’all work together so well. What you were able to accomplish is nothing short of amazing. I love your videos and have seen too many to count. I’d love to meet you someday Matt. I kinda feel like I’ve known you forever. Best wishes for you and your family and your business. Keep getting ‘em out!
TT now that you are family, and I can say seeing those plugs go in after 200,000 miles, lets get the gas gauge, air conditioner, weather stripping, and what ever else the Morvair needs. Now as I watch the rest of this, it seems Matt wants to fix things. Go for it...
Led works plenty fine under water. The controller does not, unless it is waterproof. The conroller can be dipped in plaasti dip for tool handles. Works awesome. Greeting from a long time rc'er who is used to submerge leds on trails.
Wishing Colby a speedy recovery! I'm glad Jake is part of your team, he certainly is a good addition. I'm also super happy to see all the improvements including headache rack in the back. Well done Tom Tom on the tune, that sure makes a massive different. The KITT addition is awesome!!!
Matt and his crew have specifically mentioned heading over to O Reilly for parts many times. O’Reilly would be stupid as a company NOT to want to take care of a patron that has brought so much attention and business to their company. Matt deserves all the attention and recognition he gets, weather it be from an individual or a company. Word of mouth is the most powerful form of marketing, always has been always will be.
Oh Matt, why can't we always be this happy happy mood that links back to even my father and his car humor.thank you for that,can never be a not part of me.
I truly enjoy your antics and the fact you and Tom play off each other soo well and still produce effective, simple improvements! Be safe, looking forward to the next installment of the "Matts off Road show.
I love your attitudes I’m trying to learn from you all and just be a happy person! Nothing seems to bother you especially Matt. Some of the stuff he has to deal with as far as stuff not going right or fitting right on the vehicles he is just always happy and it’s awesome to watch. Trying to learn from ya Matt! You guys are all awesome I’m so glad I found this channel!
Matt and Tom make such a great duo! Matt you have assembled such a Great Team, much knowledge and tons of respect for each other. I enjoy and look forward to each of your videos. Also great job from Hefe, Lizie and Jamie. Thank you!
In any team, there are boundaries, of what the ‘team’ knows. Matt has a preclusion, about, the process, that is not wrong , yet , doe complicate future repair. I’ve never changed my xj spark plugs, and I’m impressed.
The “Knight” light is great! It’s good to see maintenance being done on the Morrvair. Hoping the broken pelvis mends quickly. LOVE the old International Scout!!!
Hopefully, the scanner printed circuit board has a conformal coating on it. Conformal coating protects it from moisture and corrosion. I like the MTG silicone conformal coating. It dries clear.
I have been watching you guys for so long. Alot of jumping forward and backward thru all the videos and I have decided you guys are one of the most genuine RUclipsrs around. Thank u for the most genuine material around. Alot of videos out now are click bait and you always provide a great video, and great trail suggestions and ideas. Thank you for your channel. You, Robbie and the fab rats are so genuine, I love it... Thank you so much for the info and step by steps
Hey guys and gals. I recently had a major injury and ran into your channel. I just got a Tacoma TRD Sport to take my son to more remote backpacking trips, and then I go and trip and fracture my ankle. I wanted a manual transmission, access cab, and six foot bed and figured I could install a locker later. I started looking up all kinds of off road techniques and modifications, including recovery since the whole off road thing is kind of new to me. Your incredibly positive channel has gotten me through some tough times recovering. I appreciate it.
Iridium plugs are designed for 75000 to 100000 miles. Typically it's recommended to check them at 60000. The iridium plugs can't be gapped because the electrode tips are "fine wire" and break very easily. I usually run the NGK plugs in all my vehicles simply because I've never had a bad one out of the box. All the other brands I have.
The amount of times I laugh to myself and shake my head just because Matt is exactly like me is hilarious. From the way he mechanics to his poor maintenance to his incredibly good luck by winging it is like my twin.... lol Oh and I get massively impatient and then have to redo stuff all the time.....
So sweet to see that lovely old Corvair rollin' round the streets! The Banana always seemed more tractable, especially just off-idle, but the Morrvair now sounds as good!
Okay. I might be wrong here but it looks like the only brake pedal travel stop you have is the brake light switch itself and if that's the case then it's no wonder the old switch kept getting stuck in the open position. You should really have a mechanical pedal travel stop that takes care of the pedal stop and not the switch as using your switch will cause it to wear out prematurely and or stick due to being hammered inward. Take care and I love your video's Matt. 👍😀
Awesome Knightrider theme Fellas, I'm 45 years old I was a Boy facinated with that show when it came out. Ahead of its time. Awesome, loved the episode after kit went into the acid pond and that team of mechanics rebuilt it even better.
In Australia we sell a lot of NGK spark plugs @ Repco Auto Parts (part of the NAPA family) and we recommend 75,000 km's which is only around 47,000 miles so well done !!! Cheers Pete.
Try switching seats , left to right and right to left . The inward lean could be from the seats [saddles] being on the wrong side . Love the fabricobbling. Good job and good luck.
I completely understand about the XJ seats. my frame was broken in 3 places. I had to pull the entire base apart down to the bare frame. straighten everything out and weld in reinforcements so it wouldn't break again. but honestly they have been great for about a year now. we will see what the future holds.
Love seeing Corvairs out and about as support and shop vehicles! I've driven my Dad's '64 Monza coupe with Kelsey Hayes wire wheels and bias plies, and then with radials.......so much better with radials! I run Maxxis MA-1 radials on my Corvair cars, & MileStar 14s on my FC Corvairs.
Lizzy was just sitting around watching. How rare! She’s usually always welding or cutting, or fixing something. Great to see the puppy dogs in the videos. You owe Max an apology for not warning him. A nice filet minion will do, over easy.
As a man of roughly the same age as Matt, the Knight Rider references and light addition is the best thing that I've seen you do to the Morrvair and I've watched since the beginning of the build. Add 22% coolness factor for the Kitt scanner lights!

Hello michael my name is MORR (Matt's Off Road Recovery) I work for the foundation of law and recovery. We've got a side-by-side with a broken UTV joint. Let's roll.
Fun fact, Mountain Dew is actually called Barthel skeet
I love that Matt did the man pause when the guy behind the counter asked "anything else for you today?" Every man does this because there is a LOT more that he wants to get. lol
Yes! (In your head) I'll take a Flowmaster, a cold air intake, steel braided lines for everything, a new jack, and some of those snickers candy bars. Lol everytime!!!
@@Jizden_Mipanz . .. . And gimme a bottle of ANYTHING & a glazed doughnut ~ to _GO_ !
Usually it is "I know I'm forgetting something, but I can't remember what it is."
I usually say , "one of everything" !
I had the same thought lol. That was the look that said "I can't think of anything, but I know I'm going to be back"
Hey, it's time to work on the snow cat! It's the perfect conditions for getting the tracks repaired. Spread the love to the rest of the equipment.
Yes please on the MORR Crew doing maintenance, repairs and upgrades to the Bombi snowcat well BEFORE fall hits and snow flies at higher elevations in Utah. Most people either haven't seen a snowcat in person, or they've never ridden in one or they don't even live where it snows...and most people find snowcats to be fun to watch, interesting and kind of unique and special as vehicles go. If you build it, they will come! ;)
@@twiddlinbits Oh ya 671 gmc powered or? And extra extra cab with room for activities!
Matt, you only need anti-seize on the plugs if you need to take them out again. I'm not completely sure you'll benefit 😃
You don’t need it at all, they are coated from the factory.
400,000 mile the motor may not need them anymore
Nothing worse than hearing the crunching of thread when loosening sparkplugs. Anti-sieze forever.
@@SteelheadTed maybe for mom's camry and dad's corolla ... I'd say this application sees quite different heat and endurance loads than most will ever see in daily driving. Only thing they could add to increase severity of service is add in consistent road salt spray :p
Totally love Tom being a part of the crew. He is definitely getting more comfortable on camera. Go Tom.
Matt's a fun guy, but his superpower is how much he enjoys the odd ball stuff. He's also a great team leader in that he enables people to become multi faceted individual contributor's.
Matt is often so dry that seeing his absolute joy in the KITT scanner is everything and unlocked his humor bone. The whole thing with the gas pedal and driving barefoot and feeling the bolt just made me cackle.
Say what you will, there's nothing like barefoot driving
Needs one of those pedals that are shaped like a foot.
Brother had one that would stick. Learned how to shift to neutral and hit the brakes!!
Matt's "dry" has come a long way since the beginning. It's been fun to watch him get more comfortable,being himself in front of the camera. I could never.

There Is A Distrubition Warehouse Here In Lubbock, It Has Been Instrumental To Being Able To Get Parts Right Away For Jobs.
We have quite a few locations in Columbus, Ohio, also.

That KITT bar is the ONLY thing that was needed to get the biggest smile from Matt! lol
Best addition to the team so far! Can't wait to see what KITT will do to help the MORR team, always helped the HOFF when he needed it!!
" _MATHEW_ "
Kitt would short out with Matt
That's the best smile I've seen him have
“Matthew, your fuel level is low!”
Doing something because "I just wanted to" relieves the pressure of all the times you did it because you "had to do it". And it makes you feel 😊.
Matt looks more relaxed and having more fun than he has in a while! I can only imagine all the stuff he has going on. A million and a half subscribers? Wow! Congrats!

Real good to see Matt, TT, and Lizzy spending time together in the shop.
Jake adds a lot of value. I'd be happy to have more of him. Not so sure about Colby, and I am definitely not a fan of that little goblin lad.
I like Jake being part of the in front camera crew. He adds a bit of comedy to the crowd.
LOVE THE BLUE COLOR OF THE CORVAIR. WHAT A WELL PRESERVED PAINT JOB
Loved seeing the "new" Corvair. So cool to see older cars back on the road and appreciated.
Matt "I'm going to look for things wrong"
The Internet "FUEL GUAGE!!!"
Matt "I'm going to change the alternator and then dream about Morrvair meets KIT"
The Internet 🤦♂️
Man the way she hits in the gears when Matt fed her.. from 2nd to 3rd was impressive.
What about giving the poor old girl a full oil, coolant and filters change, given where you guys drive that thing, that’s important . Great video
Your Corvair / Nightrider lights are "Awesome". Brings back the good old days when my son and I would watch the show. Thank you for bring back family memories.

Yes, dielectric grease is a good ideal to use on spark plug leads or other electrical joints.
Matt: I'm guilty of neglecting the Morrvair for far too long... I'm going to fix it.
Matt never checks air filter.

Ask any mechanic how well their own stuff is maintained & they will tell you not well at all
@@SelfEvident Well they did do one my constant complaints regarding 'the rules' - TomTom - no seat belt on.
They might be busy, but if you at least look at one thing whenever there's time then the number of issues are going to be reduced to just the big jobs.

Yes it sure was.
I thought Tom's launch was a little soft, but then Matt buried the pedal! 😆
The Donut video was really good, it was super nice to see James finally reunited with his dad.

As a fellow 80's kid all you need now is an A-Team Van and you are ready rock and roll lol, great video keep up the good work!
A great video and a well deserved spa day for the Morrvair. The only thing missing was Matt driving up a ramp on a moving 18 wheeler!
That's a beautiful old Jeepster. Love the sound of that Dauntless V-6. My folks had a '68 CJ-5 with that engine.
I bought a 74 chevy truck that ran ok. I pulled the spark plugs and they were pugs that they stopped making in 78. Once I changed them it was like a completely new truck
Lizzy is such an asset to Matt's off road recovery she can pretty much do anything anybody on crew can do
Her great can-do personality fits in well with the group. Its good to see such a young woman in YT videos who has real talent and skills.
Yes - sweeping up today !
I really enjoyed how happy Matt was this episode.

TT now that you are family, and I can say seeing those plugs go in after 200,000 miles, lets get the gas gauge, air conditioner, weather stripping, and what ever else the Morvair needs. Now as I watch the rest of this, it seems Matt wants to fix things. Go for it...
Led works plenty fine under water. The controller does not, unless it is waterproof. The conroller can be dipped in plaasti dip for tool handles. Works awesome. Greeting from a long time rc'er who is used to submerge leds on trails.
The new gas pedal needs green LEDs on either side ,hooked up to the throttle position sensor. Then the MORRvair will be ready for season three.
Wishing Colby a speedy recovery! I'm glad Jake is part of your team, he certainly is a good addition. I'm also super happy to see all the improvements including headache rack in the back. Well done Tom Tom on the tune, that sure makes a massive different. The KITT addition is awesome!!!
You have way more patience than most folks I've encountered Matt.
So O'Reilly must now be a BIG sponsor.
Fact!
yeah, this is new low
@@courgetteehow is having a sponsor and growing your business a low? Come on man.
Matt and his crew have specifically mentioned heading over to O Reilly for parts many times. O’Reilly would be stupid as a company NOT to want to take care of a patron that has brought so much attention and business to their company. Matt deserves all the attention and recognition he gets, weather it be from an individual or a company. Word of mouth is the most powerful form of marketing, always has been always will be.
I bet they are.
VGG is also sponsored by them.
As a child of the 80s I love how happy Matt is with the Knight Rider scanner on the Morrvair :) Brightened my day, great video.
Great watching the three of you Matt, Lizzy and Tom Tom
Oh Matt, why can't we always be this happy happy mood that links back to even my father and his car humor.thank you for that,can never be a not part of me.
I hope you made the fuel gauge senders priority when you’ve been upgrading the Banana and Morvair.
I truly enjoy your antics and the fact you and Tom play off each other soo well and still produce effective, simple improvements! Be safe, looking forward to the next installment of the "Matts off Road show.
Nice vid as always.
What a dog life. Max is loving it. You are stepping over him when he is snoozing. Love it.
I have been watching Matt's off-road recovery for quite a while. First video I saw was Matt pulling a race car out of his attic!!!
If you haven't yet, I highly recommend going way back and watching the early recovery videos before these overly built vehicles were employed.
Great upgrades ! I LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!!
I love your attitudes I’m trying to learn from you all and just be a happy person! Nothing seems to bother you especially Matt. Some of the stuff he has to deal with as far as stuff not going right or fitting right on the vehicles he is just always happy and it’s awesome to watch. Trying to learn from ya Matt! You guys are all awesome I’m so glad I found this channel!
@5:42 The look of a man desperately trying to think of just one of the dozens of things he should buy while he is there.
Matt and Tom make such a great duo! Matt you have assembled such a Great Team, much knowledge and tons of respect for each other. I enjoy and look forward to each of your videos. Also great job from Hefe, Lizie and Jamie. Thank you!
who's Tom?
@@butchgreene Tom is the engineer amongst the farmers
In any team, there are boundaries, of what the ‘team’ knows. Matt has a preclusion, about, the process, that is not wrong , yet , doe complicate future repair.
I’ve never changed my xj spark plugs, and I’m impressed.
23:20 "...Guess I'm just a good man. ...Well, I'm alright."
Also, every time you zoom in on that scanner I smile and giggle with glee.
The “Knight” light is great! It’s good to see maintenance being done on the Morrvair. Hoping the broken pelvis mends quickly. LOVE the old International Scout!!!
Wasn't that a Jeepster?
@@randytolle6706 From the badge on the hood, it was a 1966-71 Jeepster Commando.
Hopefully, the scanner printed circuit board has a conformal coating on it. Conformal coating protects it from moisture and corrosion. I like the MTG silicone conformal coating. It dries clear.
That Scanner bar is exactly an 11% improvement.
I have been watching you guys for so long. Alot of jumping forward and backward thru all the videos and I have decided you guys are one of the most genuine RUclipsrs around. Thank u for the most genuine material around. Alot of videos out now are click bait and you always provide a great video, and great trail suggestions and ideas. Thank you for your channel. You, Robbie and the fab rats are so genuine, I love it... Thank you so much for the info and step by steps
Hey guys and gals. I recently had a major injury and ran into your channel. I just got a Tacoma TRD Sport to take my son to more remote backpacking trips, and then I go and trip and fracture my ankle. I wanted a manual transmission, access cab, and six foot bed and figured I could install a locker later. I started looking up all kinds of off road techniques and modifications, including recovery since the whole off road thing is kind of new to me. Your incredibly positive channel has gotten me through some tough times recovering. I appreciate it.
Nice to see the Morrvair running so well! Great job on the tuning Tom!
Iridium plugs are designed for 75000 to 100000 miles. Typically it's recommended to check them at 60000. The iridium plugs can't be gapped because the electrode tips are "fine wire" and break very easily. I usually run the NGK plugs in all my vehicles simply because I've never had a bad one out of the box. All the other brands I have.
The amount of times I laugh to myself and shake my head just because Matt is exactly like me is hilarious. From the way he mechanics to his poor maintenance to his incredibly good luck by winging it is like my twin.... lol Oh and I get massively impatient and then have to redo stuff all the time.....
26:33 dang Lizzy, you almost ripped O'Reilly's door right off the hinges!! 😂😂
So sweet to see that lovely old Corvair rollin' round the streets! The Banana always seemed more tractable, especially just off-idle, but the Morrvair now sounds as good!
Okay. I might be wrong here but it looks like the only brake pedal travel stop you have is the brake light switch itself and if that's the case then it's no wonder the old switch kept getting stuck in the open position. You should really have a mechanical pedal travel stop that takes care of the pedal stop and not the switch as using your switch will cause it to wear out prematurely and or stick due to being hammered inward. Take care and I love your video's Matt. 👍😀
^^ and if it comes out too far once, the rod may drop down and no brakes at all! always put a physical stop(with rubber bumper).
You know you made it when O'Reilleys is your main sponsor 😂 These guys are killin it
Next level content. The evolution of the filming and editing is great to see. Keep on keeping on. Great show today
Awesome Knightrider theme Fellas, I'm 45 years old I was a Boy facinated with that show when it came out. Ahead of its time. Awesome, loved the episode after kit went into the acid pond and that team of mechanics rebuilt it even better.
In Australia we sell a lot of NGK spark plugs @ Repco Auto Parts (part of the NAPA family) and we recommend 75,000 km's which is only around 47,000 miles so well done !!!
Cheers Pete.
Try switching seats , left to right and right to left . The inward lean could be from the seats [saddles] being on the wrong side . Love the fabricobbling. Good job and good luck.
Throw a couple of washers in that corner and straighten it right out.
I love Matt's off road recovery ❤
I see Matt’s still avoiding the caged tiger of the SnowCat 😂🤣😂
I completely understand about the XJ seats. my frame was broken in 3 places. I had to pull the entire base apart down to the bare frame. straighten everything out and weld in reinforcements so it wouldn't break again. but honestly they have been great for about a year now. we will see what the future holds.
Love seeing Corvairs out and about as support and shop vehicles! I've driven my Dad's '64 Monza coupe with Kelsey Hayes wire wheels and bias plies, and then with radials.......so much better with radials! I run Maxxis MA-1 radials on my Corvair cars, & MileStar 14s on my FC Corvairs.
Y’all bring a smile to me face on each episode great team you have Matt!
Matt could make his life easier by working on the Bombi now.
Not his style😂 We will see repairs in November is my guess.
Lizzy was just sitting around watching. How rare! She’s usually always welding or cutting, or fixing something.
Great to see the puppy dogs in the videos. You owe Max an apology for not warning him.
A nice filet minion will do, over easy.
Pregnant I think.
I had a filet "Minion" once.😂
The Knight Industries Two Thousand! I am a child of the 80s. KITT & The General were two of my favs. Love the scanner.i should get one for my Taco 😊
As a man of roughly the same age as Matt, the Knight Rider references and light addition is the best thing that I've seen you do to the Morrvair and I've watched since the beginning of the build. Add 22% coolness factor for the Kitt scanner lights!
