he aint teaching them right, those XJ's and ZJ's and so forth are all coated in galvanized steel.... and they are welding right on the frame and body where the coatings are... no respirators is NOT SMART..
I really enjoyed Rudy popping in once in a while and being part of the team, but I don’t think long-term would work out. I think there’s too much testosterone from a few other workers there definitely wish he would do more with his channel needs to take a build and take it all way through versus just showing bits and pieces.
Nothing better than a father and his sons working together and learning a trade. Well done Matt, you are a wonderful example of what a father should be!
Couple of small nits: split lock washers go under the nut, not the bolt. On the skid plate (and any other similar location, the bolt should come from above so that if a nut does come off, the bolt remains holding. When the bottom shock bolts came off (previous video), they should be reinstalled with a castle nut and a cotter pin. Start using nylock nuts, MilSpec AN-365 type when you don;t want things vibrating off. You guys do really good work, keep it up. (edit for spelling)
I report my work as no problems, went smooth! That is almost always a fib. It's crazy to me that these guys lay it all out there: This is our goal This is our earnest speculation This was the plan This is what we ran into This is what we did This is how we fixed what we did You guys crank out BEASTS and it's done with a smile.

Don't lose that golf club Matt. It seems to mean something to Ed the way he wanted to make sure it was safe where he had it. While at the same time he wanted you to have it.
Kaulin, you can alway verify those ‘middle’ measurements by measuring and marking, the flipping the tape measure to measure from the other direction and mark the same length again. If the marks done overlap, that’s ok, the center is halfway between both marks! Have fun.
If you tack weld those nuts in place on the skid plate mounts it will make the rest of your underside work and maintenance much easier! Awesome job, it's coming out nice!
I just want to thank you for your videos. I live in snowy west Michigan, and my driveway is terrible when it gets snowy. Today, my wife slid off the driveway and got stuck. Noatter how.much we didn't dig her out helped, but because of what I've learned watching your videos, I was able to yank her out in no time with just my little Subaru Outback. It was nothing like what you guys do, but I knew exactly what to do from watching you guys. I just have an old fashioned tow rope, rather than a MORR Rope, but it got the job done! I truly appreciate the amount of time and effort you put into creating these videos! They're entertaining AND educational!
This as ALLWAYS is a good video and I am familiar with most of it cause I have an MJ heavy tow package but I don't have a clue what those hyms you were redoing are for and would have like to have seen more detail on your cross member beef up. I live up in the mountains and this is not a car route!!! Only built trucks. No use for Cherokees. The only thing I envy on them is their underslung axle set up. Don't like the spring cackage run ing below the axle to gather Sage.A natural 6" lift to convert to top of axle except for the pinion angle issue. Dam. Been following you guys since you began. Your shop is a dream to me. Dandahermit😅😅
Lots going on with Robby's XJ Banana clone Jeep and progress is moving forward. Kaulin and Rhett are really excelling in the welding trade and looking good! Nice to see Jaymie and Jefe working on the Gladiator give away Jeep. Someone will be lucky to win it!
The very first Corvette ever built was called EX-122, was a General Motors Motorama showcar and was first exhibited at the Waldorf Astoria in January of 1953.
The first Corvette was in 1953, as mentioned several times below... But the WORD corvette goes all the way back to 17th century France. It was a class of sailing ship, smaller than a frigate.
You should partner with Barnes and offer a weld-in Banana kit for XJs. That rig is so capable I would love to have one but don’t have the skills. Something I could hand to the local 4x4 shop with instructions and CNC cut parts would be incredible.
It sure is nice to see how Kaulin and Rhett are turning into real fabricators and welders, two chips off the old block! And Tom keeps a balance so things don't get too crazy! The rest of the crew works well together, and Jamie and Jefe working in the outdoor shop just cracks me up! Keep up the good work keeping us educated and entertained Matt!
EX-122 was an instant hit and the first production Corvette was built on June 30, 1953 in flint, Michigan and only 300 were built-virtually by hand and all on a pilot line. This first year Corvette was available only in Polo white with Red bucket seat interior trim.
Yeah, I guess you have to think of what you need to say before you have to do a re-take. Nice they left them in though. Matt, your boys are really becoming valuable essentials to your business. Very nice to see Ed again, trying to sharpen up Matt's putting skills. And Rudy stopped by too. That Commanche is going to make somebody very happy. Thanks for the video.
The Chevrolet Corvette debuted as a concept “dream car” in 1953 at the General Motors Motorama show in New York. Following this, 300 Corvettes were hand built at GM's Flint, MI factory, releasing to the public on June 30, 1953.
Do those winches come pre-streched? If not, it's a good idea to unwind them and put them under a small load, then reel it back in. It helps when pulling free-spool, so there's no snags!
The first full-scale Corvette concept was displayed as a “dream car” at GM's Motorama in New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel in January. 1953. On June 30, the first production Corvette rolled off of the assembly line in Flint, Michigan.
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. But watching this today made me wish that I would’ve had the opportunity to work in a shop as a teenager like yours Matt. These boys are learning so much. Great job teaching these kids. These are skills I wish I knew how to do. But I’m pretty much past the age to do this now in life. Keep up the great videos Matt and crew.
I used to work at Teraflex and I hand built A TON of those joints over the years that I worked there. If you don't seat those clips in properly, the whole thing can fall apart or get chewed up when under the vehicle. We used to assemble them under a hydraulic press, but those clips were always the worst part. I can't even guess how many C clip pliers we went through each week. P.S. - Ed is so nice. I love seeing him around on the channel. Reminds me a lot of my grandfather that lived the final years of his life in Southern Utah.
54' 🤔... In 1952 the EX-122 concept car, which had been in development since 1951 and is the first of the hand-built Corvettes, is officially named “Corvette” after a type of fast warship. GM used the “EX” codes to name the EXperimental vehicles before they received a definitive name. Sports car aficionado and GM Vice President Harley Earl is the major force behind the design and development of the vehicle. Together with Bob McLean Earl formed a team that would be responsible for realizing the EX-122. On January 10, 1953, the Corvette concept car debuts at GM Motorama in New York City.
Incredible to watch the growing skills of the younger generation in the shop; we shouldn't be surprised when we remember Lizzie's same path, and how wonderfully competent she became...
As a Jeep owner I loved this video. As a school teacher I cringed at the youths' math and grammar skills. But great to see the young guys working on cars. Thanks for the video.
I know Tom Tom loves that drill press, and quite frankly I would be proud as can be if my drill press was that nice, but I think you should check out the air operated punch that Fab Rats just acquired. It punches very clean holes in a fraction of time as drilling in sheet steel. I have seen them punch some pretty thick material and I am impressed. Paul said it didn't really cost that much.
Many years ago a neighbor with an original 1953 Corvette roadster would come by once a week in fair weather. Even in 1978 they were considered special. They were white with gravel guards on the headlights. 235 ci Blue Flame Six.
Congratulations Matt, having your family working together is something to be proud of. 😂😂 Your whole team is fantastic to watch, congrats to all of you. 🥳🥳🥳👍👍👍🥂🥂 Ps, what's the story with Kaitlyn, we miss her.
I think she's a sweet girl with a lot going for her, but she doesn't seem to want to get her hands dirty like Lizzy did. I wish Lizzy all the luck in the world, but I do miss her.
I want to give a special shout-out to the editing team. I know there's a lot of footage you have to cut out. And all the special little inserts to give the show that pop is awesome. So thank yo.
I love the look of the louvres on the CJ hoods. The black on yellow for the banana is so sharp. Hopefully Robby paints his royal blue with black or silver louvres.
I was given a blue jeep cherokee like this by my inlaws about 8 months ago. I called it the blueberry before ya'll mentioned it! Looking forward to copying some of your build.
Great to to see Rhett and Kaulin working along side of their dad, Matt. They can only get more better. Haven’t seen Catelynn. Did she let the Morr team?? Jejablue is coming along nicely. Great job! 🤙😎
As a dad trying to get my teenagers in the shop more, it’s really great to see how much work your boys put into learning this stuff. It’s damn inspiring Matt.
New Tires: Yellow dot is aligned with the valve stem of the wheel, which reduces balancing weights. Red dot indicates the tire's highest point, which is the most imbalanced part. Hope this helps!
@@DMHltd No, Ed said that they had Corvair before they had Corvette. The first Corvair wasn't until 1959. Matt's right, at least about the order. Came here to say there was in fact a 1953 model year Corvette, but Dennis beat me to it.
The Blueberry is coming along nicely, Matt should take some load of Robby and help with the painting too.. Rolling some blue tractor supply paint on it to finish it off nicely
Good morning, Matt and crew. You guys have a great balance of content. BTW Wrecker Rick is getting nervous. He really wants to bring his build to the Off Road Games. He has not heard back from you. Have a great a safe week.
Here some advice, you should lower the ramp when installing tires, so you don’t hurt ur back from lifting them up. Unless you don’t mind worker’s Comp. and/or light duty work. Work smarter not harder lmao.
I always thought the hood vents on the Bannana were floor vents from a house😂, now I know they're from a Corvair, but they still look like floor vents from a house😂. And Jaime was right, the sensors are getting put on the new rims!, it's not a wheel until the tire is on the rim and the rum is on the hub, thats when it can be considered a wheel. Crazy how many automotive enthusiasts don't know the differences between a tire, a rim and a wheel 😂
‘53 Corvette Matt. There were only a few hundred built but it was the first year. Now if a new vehicle is started at the end of June it will be the next years model.
Deja Blue is coming out great, awesome to see Rudy in the shop too! Matt the reason you're having trouble welding onto the Jeep is that the tub and a lot of the panels are probably galvanized. Welding galvo is just a pain, not much you can do about it. Make sure you guys have plenty of ventilation in the shop when doing so, the fumes are muy malo!!
1953. The first full-scale Corvette concept was displayed as a “dream car” at GM's Motorama in New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel in January. 1953. On June 30, the first production Corvette rolled off of the assembly line in Flint, Michigan.
1st year for Corvette, 1953, they made 300, all white w/red interior. Straight 6 engine, w/automatic/power glide transmission. There was no 1983 Corvette. First V8, 1955, first 4 speed, 1957, first fuel injection, 1957.
General off-road question. I was going to get a set of bead locks for my jeep but was told they aren’t street legal. When Matt mentioned driving the gladiator home if you win, I thought I would ask this question here knowing someone who watches this channel would know the answer.
Just drive safely and follow the speed limit and all other driving laws. Most law enforcement doesn't care. They are looking for drunks, guys running drugs, stolen vehicles and speeders.
@@Berm_BlasterI know there are simulated bead locks on the market that look to the average eye like real bead locks. Is that what you mean by street legal bead locks?
These build videos are so good. To see family members working together and learning skills they can use the rest of their lives! First class family time.
…and this 8:33 is why I use Metal Cloak joints. I have been down the “greasable joint” road with Rubicon Express and have the grease stains to prove it.
When an old pressure grease fitting is missing. You hit it with a high-pressure fitting and it works just fine. I’ve been doing this in aviation for the last 44 years giving away my age you’re pretty smart Matt.
1) Matt has a pretty decent singing voice. 2) The instrumental music playing in the background with all the hacking and cutting going on was hilarious.
Awesome build! I just gotta say though, where I live, Rust belt in Canada, all that bare steel would be Swiss cheese in a few years! Luckily for them that’s not an issue in Utah!
i cut vents into the inner fender near the firewall on my XJ on driver and pass sides, then cut a vent into the outer fender and built a "splash guard" out of some sheet tin to keep dirt/debris from flying up under the hood through the vents, also my XJ was missing the inner fender skirts, i also wired my Electric fan with a relay wiring the computer control through the NC side of the relay, and the N/O going to the battery via a 40Amp breaker so i can flip a switch in the cab and override the electric fan to run on command, great for extended idling, or i can leave the switch in "off" (no labeled Auto) which leaves the fan under computer control so it operates as normal, and i've had zero overheat issues with my '91 after doing that mod. i did however upgrade the mechanical Fan clutch to a TJ fan clutch and modified it for tighter lockup, then i upgraded the stock "boat paddle" electric fan for the "s-curve" fan for a '96+. honestly i prefer the XJ for building a reliable trail rig, and mine gets more use as a work vehicle/support vehicle than i get to use it as a "play around" vehicle any more, love the build matt, its cool to see you take your R&D that went into the Banana to build Robby a sweet capable rig, and getting some cool ideas for maybe future upgrades to the banana, i'm also going to have to consider some frame stiffners when i do my next upgrades on my xj, seems like a good way of doing 'cheap insurance' so to speak to make sure future problems don't just "pop up"
4.50: Kaulin, you put the lock washers in the wrong place. The lock washers don't go on the head of the bolt, they go on second to last, just before the nut. Their purpose is to prevent the nut from self-loosening.
Kaulin and Rhett's fabricating skills just keep on improving more and more. Nice to see Rudy again also.
Does my heart good to see the relationship y'all share with Ed.
It’s great to see Matt teaching the young men and building a great team. Those life-lessons will outlive any jeep they build.
The man word!!? ! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee🧂
The best part is the young men and women.
he aint teaching them right, those XJ's and ZJ's and so forth are all coated in galvanized steel.... and they are welding right on the frame and body where the coatings are... no respirators is NOT SMART..
Your kindness and patience with Ed shows what a good soul you are Matt.
Matt’s voice sound like he has a head full of snot.
Honestly I feel like Ed has been with Matt so long it's more of a father son relationship
I only watch to see Ed❤
It's really nice seeing Rudy on the channel. It would be cool if he was on more, or a RAD collab, or honestly if he just came back.
Yea especially since his channel is pretty boring
I was wondering where he went! Don't see much of him anymore.
Bet his something to do with that girl of his
I really enjoyed Rudy popping in once in a while and being part of the team, but I don’t think long-term would work out. I think there’s too much testosterone from a few other workers there definitely wish he would do more with his channel needs to take a build and take it all way through versus just showing bits and pieces.
Rudy is busy with his welding/fabricating job/business
Nothing better than a father and his sons working together and learning a trade. Well done Matt, you are a wonderful example of what a father should be!
Trump said he is the ''Father of the vax''. 🏆
It nice to see the whole family doing a little work
Huge props to the underdog editors… 20:46, a perfect sound track cut at a spark flash. Well done!
+1. Funny as hell. Fabulous editing on this one.
It's a great version. Any idea where I can hear the whole thing?
Couple of small nits: split lock washers go under the nut, not the bolt. On the skid plate (and any other similar location, the bolt should come from above so that if a nut does come off, the bolt remains holding. When the bottom shock bolts came off (previous video), they should be reinstalled with a castle nut and a cotter pin. Start using nylock nuts, MilSpec AN-365 type when you don;t want things vibrating off. You guys do really good work, keep it up. (edit for spelling)
The problem with bolt down for skid plates is that the threads get buggered up on the rocks
Proud Dad showing off sons skills and Tom.. A real smile video 😀rest of the crew!!
It's great to see Kaulin and Rhett fabricating. They both are doing fine behind the camera. Keep up the great work guys!
I report my work as no problems, went smooth! That is almost always a fib. It's crazy to me that these guys lay it all out there:
This is our goal
This is our earnest speculation
This was the plan
This is what we ran into
This is what we did
This is how we fixed what we did
You guys crank out BEASTS and it's done with a smile. What a fine example you set for your audience! I learn a lot from each if you.
Corvette was introduced in 1953, not 54. But yeah, long before the Corvair. Deja Blue is coming right along! Really looking good!
BIG Shout out to Ed. Good to see him in the video.
Don't lose that golf club Matt. It seems to mean something to Ed the way he wanted to make sure it was safe where he had it. While at the same time he wanted you to have it.
That blue is called gunmetal blue pearl. It was introduced in 97.
I've owned mine since new, in 97.
I have same color 98
First Corvette 1953, my Mom worked at the factory in St. Louis (in the office) at that time.
Your new golf club has alot of sentimental value. What a friend to have Ed makes everyone's day⛳️
My brother Matt.... The C1 Corvette was introduced in June of 1953 and originally were assembled in Flint, Michigan.
Kaulin, you can alway verify those ‘middle’ measurements by measuring and marking, the flipping the tape measure to measure from the other direction and mark the same length again. If the marks done overlap, that’s ok, the center is halfway between both marks! Have fun.
If you tack weld those nuts in place on the skid plate mounts it will make the rest of your underside work and maintenance much easier! Awesome job, it's coming out nice!
At first thought it is until you trash the bolt heads and need to remove them or get stripped out. It can be done but more of a pain then.
The jeep is coming along awesome!!! Thank you guys for your hard work I can’t wait to see it
See it? Just pretend the Banana is blue. Lol
I just want to thank you for your videos. I live in snowy west Michigan, and my driveway is terrible when it gets snowy. Today, my wife slid off the driveway and got stuck.

The first Corvette was built in 1953 not 1954. It only came in white and had the blue flame straight six.
Love your channel.
Ken
Great content, as always! Point of order, the first year of the Corvette was 1953.
Matt is a silly guy ... I was thinking that he knew that but didn't mind saying otherwise. tongue in cheek
Came here for this comment! Lol I'm not a Corvette guy and I knew this .. gotta love Matt
Not that anyone cares, but the entimology of the word goes back to the 17th century... Anyway, keep up the great content guys!
I don’t think it was available until 54??
sorry Matt, Corvette 1953 first year only in white color, red interior. love corvairs, sipder with the 4 speed. you got any laying around
Thanks Matt for keeping the Corvair references going for this episode! And by the way, 1953 was the first year of the Corvette.

Matt looked physically in pain at the prospect of giving up his rare corvair vents. It shows how much he appreciates Robby and co. efforts.
You have quite the imagination...
I honestly don't know why they would use original Corvair hood vents??? Louvered panels are available brand new from anywhere and all different sizes.

I always thought the "air" part of Corvair had to do with its air cooling.
The Blueberry is coming along nicely, Matt should take some load of Robby and help with the painting too.. Rolling some blue tractor supply paint on it to finish it off nicely
Good morning, Matt and crew. You guys have a great balance of content. BTW Wrecker Rick is getting nervous. He really wants to bring his build to the Off Road Games. He has not heard back from you. Have a great a safe week.
Here some advice, you should lower the ramp when installing tires, so you don’t hurt ur back from lifting them up. Unless you don’t mind worker’s Comp. and/or light duty work. Work smarter not harder lmao.
True, once you hurt your back, it's a lifelong battle.
I was wondering why he didn't lower the lift there. Lot easier to lower the lift than to lift four 37" tires mounted to wheels.
I always thought the hood vents on the Bannana were floor vents from a house😂, now I know they're from a Corvair, but they still look like floor vents from a house😂. And Jaime was right, the sensors are getting put on the new rims!, it's not a wheel until the tire is on the rim and the rum is on the hub, thats when it can be considered a wheel. Crazy how many automotive enthusiasts don't know the differences between a tire, a rim and a wheel 😂
‘53 Corvette Matt.
There were only a few hundred built but it was the first year.
Now if a new vehicle is started at the end of June it will be the next years model.
Matt don’t let Tom Tom change you… *It’s Dory!* Not Deja Blue
Right!
Deja Blue is coming out great, awesome to see Rudy in the shop too! Matt the reason you're having trouble welding onto the Jeep is that the tub and a lot of the panels are probably galvanized. Welding galvo is just a pain, not much you can do about it. Make sure you guys have plenty of ventilation in the shop when doing so, the fumes are muy malo!!
You guys always keep me motivated to upgrade my Jeep :-)
Me too. My wife is not very happy about it, but I am. 😁
1953. The first full-scale Corvette concept was displayed as a “dream car” at GM's Motorama in New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel in January. 1953. On June 30, the first production Corvette rolled off of the assembly line in Flint, Michigan.

Only 300 produced but they were '53's in any case; all were white with red interior.
1st year for Corvette, 1953, they made 300, all white w/red interior. Straight 6 engine, w/automatic/power glide transmission. There was no 1983 Corvette. First V8, 1955, first 4 speed, 1957, first fuel injection, 1957.
Haven't seen Katlynn for a while.
She was on vacation when this was filmed
General off-road question. I was going to get a set of bead locks for my jeep but was told they aren’t street legal. When Matt mentioned driving the gladiator home if you win, I thought I would ask this question here knowing someone who watches this channel would know the answer.
That is a good question and one that I do not know the answer to. I hope that by me replying your question will get noticed.
Seems to me I see beadlocks all around the roads and highways here in Maine.
Just drive safely and follow the speed limit and all other driving laws. Most law enforcement doesn't care. They are looking for drunks, guys running drugs, stolen vehicles and speeders.
I'm pretty sure there are off-road only beadlocks and DOT approved beadlocks
@@Berm_BlasterI know there are simulated bead locks on the market that look to the average eye like real bead locks. Is that what you mean by street legal bead locks?
Shoutout to the filming and editing crew. They do a great job every video. Thanks for the content!!
Roby's xj should be called Dolly like the cloned sheep.
These build videos are so good. To see family members working together and learning skills they can use the rest of their lives! First class family time.
Great, another raffle youtube channel! We never have enough of those! /s
Side note, the video title used to be : "I'm Building A 80 000$ Jeep FOR YOU!!!"
So glad that they make the odd mistake and that they admit to it.
Such genuine people.
Is Katelyn gone ?
Vacation
Making progress have a good week and count your blessings amen. 🙂👍
$80,000 and Jeep should not be in the same sentence.
🥱
…and this 8:33 is why I use Metal Cloak joints. I have been down the “greasable joint” road with Rubicon Express and have the grease stains to prove it.
It's always great to see Jamie. She has such a great smile. Probably because everyone there is always in such a good mood. Stress free workplace
When an old pressure grease fitting is missing. You hit it with a high-pressure fitting and it works just fine. I’ve been doing this in aviation for the last 44 years giving away my age you’re pretty smart Matt.
1) Matt has a pretty decent singing voice. 2) The instrumental music playing in the background with all the hacking and cutting going on was hilarious.
trouble starter...😁😁😁Think you need a separate room, with ventilation set up with plasma cutter, water jet, and other cutting equipment
I noticed a Corvair for sale just outside of Princeton, Kentucky. Didn't stop to check the asking price. It's only 1,685 miles from Hurricane, UT.
Rhett welds as good as his big brother Rudy. Excellent!
And almost as good as Lizzy!
Awesome build! I just gotta say though, where I live, Rust belt in Canada, all that bare steel would be Swiss cheese in a few years! Luckily for them that’s not an issue in Utah!
i cut vents into the inner fender near the firewall on my XJ on driver and pass sides, then cut a vent into the outer fender and built a "splash guard" out of some sheet tin to keep dirt/debris from flying up under the hood through the vents, also my XJ was missing the inner fender skirts, i also wired my Electric fan with a relay wiring the computer control through the NC side of the relay, and the N/O going to the battery via a 40Amp breaker so i can flip a switch in the cab and override the electric fan to run on command, great for extended idling, or i can leave the switch in "off" (no labeled Auto) which leaves the fan under computer control so it operates as normal, and i've had zero overheat issues with my '91 after doing that mod. i did however upgrade the mechanical Fan clutch to a TJ fan clutch and modified it for tighter lockup, then i upgraded the stock "boat paddle" electric fan for the "s-curve" fan for a '96+. honestly i prefer the XJ for building a reliable trail rig, and mine gets more use as a work vehicle/support vehicle than i get to use it as a "play around" vehicle any more, love the build matt, its cool to see you take your R&D that went into the Banana to build Robby a sweet capable rig, and getting some cool ideas for maybe future upgrades to the banana, i'm also going to have to consider some frame stiffners when i do my next upgrades on my xj, seems like a good way of doing 'cheap insurance' so to speak to make sure future problems don't just "pop up"
Tom's drill press is so quiet when you were talking to Ed I thought you were just punching holes. I was super impressed for a second!
4.50: Kaulin, you put the lock washers in the wrong place. The lock washers don't go on the head of the bolt, they go on second to last, just before the nut. Their purpose is to prevent the nut from self-loosening.
Enjoying this build series. Can’t wait to see Robbie’s crew working it on recoveries. King Fred and Blueberry bringing back off the mountain!
The first use of the Corvair nameplate was the fastback coupe concept of the C1 Corvette.
Corvette started in 1953 not ‘54. Lol. I love Corvettes!
