It is great that you are showing how the fab works. I have been a welder and fabricator since I was 14. My one regret is I didn't wear flash glasses the whole time. I'm 72 and I now have cataracts and had to have surgery on my left eye due to burns on my retina. It doesn't seem like much but those little spots you see after getting flashed is your retina getting a scar. Get one on your optic nerve and it's lights out.

[@joshuaboehm6419]

[@Bondodon1849]

Congrats to Katelynn! Looked like a rough ride going down the 30 ft rock, but her first words were "I hope someone got that on video". She rocks! (pun intended) Nice job drilling and tapping too!

[@russbell6418]

The best tapping, with the least breakage, depends on straight tap. If you have a tap wrench, remove the bit from the mag drill, set the tap in place, and align the tap with the drill. Get Matt to build a dead center for starting taps. (For the next project, looks like you got this one.) Yep, great roll footage! Glad you weren’t injured. Glad this year was slightly less exciting!

[@SimonBauer7]

​@@russbell6418yeah getting taps in straight by hand is a matter of experience, i have it, took me a long time to get it though.

Im 68 years old and a retired mechanic. When i was 23 or so i had a bench job to build a corvair engine for an air boat. Customer supplied factory .60 over size pistons. I didnt get to hear it run till he took entire shop personal duck hunting in port aransas. Only corvair engine i ever built. When i road in the boat i was quite proud of myself. It sounded like helicopters in the back bay. Customer was real pleased with my work. Love your videos.

[@DuaneCaldwell]

Matt, you have an awesome family, and your whole crew is pretty spectacular too. I have to send a special shout out to you for adding Katelynn, though. She fits right in with her positive attitude, work ethic, willingness to learn, but she has to be the best offroad driver in the whole MORR crew. No slight against anyone else. She just rocks behind the wheel. Literally. She also slings a pretty mean mag drill on a Friday, no less!

[@Deadcntr]

Great job Katelyn! Congratulations on your 2nd place finish.

[@mattjessa1]

Advice for the crew welding on projects. When you're trying to fit steel that isn't the same shape or won't lay flat, put a nice hot weld on the side that is sticking out then smack it. Once you smack it, it will have cooked enough to hold where you want it. May save yall some time. Love all the videos! Keep it up

[@sean_vikoren]

Kaitlyn, you absolutely ROCK!! Like others here, when your XJ rolled off that cliff, and hearing you scream, I caught myself holding my breath. Great job on second place!! You'll be holding podium spots for many years to come! Matt, you have a great team member in Kaitlyn. The entire team is enjoyable. Thanks for years of fun!!!

[@troxel]

Honestly after seeing that whole video on their channel, it wasn't even her screaming, it was some chick in the crowd.

[@TheDaumen]

Katelyn, for future reference you can tap with your mag drill. Even if it doesn't reverse you can run your tap in with the drill then release the tap from the tap holder and back it out by hand. That saves lots of elbow grease and time. It also means the tap will be perfectly lined up with the hole after drilling so much less likely to break taps. Also that roll over was crazy. Even more crazy was the first thing you said while getting out. "Hope someone got that on video" Impressive young lady for sure.

[@michaelalcocer6778]

Taping with all those extensions is almost guaranteed to have the tap go in crooked and on a deep thread more likely to snap if it is threading uneven.

[@BrianHurry]

​@@michaelalcocer6778yup

[@327JohnnySS]

I will take " Tap oil" for a thousand Alex. Ding Daily Double

[@kudostwou53]

Also you can make a tap guide by drilling a thick block of steel maybe 1 inch in the mill so it is drilled perpendicular to the surface. Drill a hole the body size of the tap. But the mag drill if running slow is the better way. ATF is as good as any commercial cutting oil for tap and drilling and saves money by using used stuff. IMO

[@benjensen3426]

Check out the vid of her out with Colt a while back. She is good!

[@327JohnnySS]

This video had everything of what this channel is. Stuck vehicle's, the weather,Ed and Rudy, Jamie. Not to mention everyone else who makes this channel great. When Kaitlyn went over that 30 ft roll over my 💜 froze. One of the best videos of MORR.

[@georgevindo]

14:26 That was neat how Peanut wagged her tail right on cue! Way to go Kaitlyn in the rock crawling! Great seeing Ed still keeping an eye on the progress. That's a torquey little engine Rudy, I hope it does really well for you. Thanks for the video.

[@mntmantimes]

Caitlin you are an amazing off-roader and fabricator. Two things my boss at the machine shop taught me that can speed fabrication: Once you've drilled a hole going back and forth won't make it any bigger or better. 2. You can tap holes in mild steel using an impact driver as long as you have plenty of lubrication. Watch Paul's videos, he does it all the time.

BTW please tell Lizzy that we miss her. We also miss Hefa, as we don't see much any more. I love all of you.🤟

[@johncannon310]

About a month or two ago I suggested that you get a mag drill. Awesome to see you using one today. Today's suggestion is to tap the holes you drill before you remove the mag drill. You can either power thread them, depending on the thickness and material, or use the drill with a pointed centering pin. Makes it much easier to have the drill hold the center of the tap. Love your videos!!!!

[@SnowPiercer1975]

I concur. As a tool and die maker myself, power tapping saves all kinds of time as well as ensuring the threads are straight. We have two mag drills where I work...both probably 50yrs old and ready for the boneyard. They make it more challenging to drill what should be easy with a proper magdrill😂

[@MechanicalMercenary]

I was wonder how a auto reverse tapping head would work with a mag drill. I use mine a couple times a year, well worth it in my opinion

[@ericjohnson1897]

@@MechanicalMercenary I use tap matics everyday. They are amazing. But probably too tall for the mag drill.

[@ScottDLR]

A bunch of us made that suggestion over the years!

[@blythkd9017]

I agree, couldn't believe MORR didn't have a mag drill with all the frame drilling they do. But then was a little surprised to see the new mag drill is cordless. I mean, it's not like it needs to be that portable. Nice not to be tripping over a cord, I guess, but I still lean toward corded tools or air tools when I don't really need cordless. They just last longer without having to spend a bunch of money on them. I get tired of buying batteries. But I assume MORR gets freebies from sponsors!

[@Rob1970s]

I'm very very impressed with Katelyn . I Never even had a incling that she was involved in Rock crawling. This has made her One cool Chick !!! Not that she wasn't already a cool Chick !!! I really appreciate a woman who show's the men how to drive !!!

[@t3chnicianb3000]

Katelyn is a total sweetheart on flat land. Put Her in a rock buggy and She is fierce!! Bravo to the whole MORR team. ✌

[@dalegereaux1863]

Kaitlyn, If the mag drill has a really slow speed, you might be able to tap with it by only applying slight pressure on the handle. The tap should pull it through the metal. Just make sure you use plenty of cutting oil or tapping oil. When you get close to the depth you want, turn it off, brush away any chips, then reverse the spindle. Provided it has reverse. We always did it that way on the hand milling machine. As for that roll over you did a few years ago, if you call it an off-road vehicular somersault, I think they'll give you extra points. 😉👍

[@davidhorting1613]

Tapping all those holes, putting the tap in a hand drill in lo-speed is better than trying to do it by hand with tee handle or socket. You put too much side loading into the tap, and they can’t flex as they’re about as hard as glass. Also works very well in the mag drill too! A two-flute taper tap is the way to go. Clears the chips out and doesn’t jam up and break the tap 👍 Loving the spud truck progress, and awesome to see the next generation gaining fab skills!!💪👏

[@stevo6430]

Matt, if you use “Gun Taps” you can power tap as long as you use cutting oil

[@derekhartley4480]

Was looking for someone who was thinking this as well. I prefer a spiral flute tap for power tapping, but any machine tap will work. Spiral flute will just pull the chip out so you don't have to fish them out of the box section. If you use a countersinking bit before you tap it you can add a chamfer so the bolts start a little easier too.
