The banana is in good hands!👍🏻

[@RobbyLayton]

Thank you I am excited to get your projects after!!

[@goooochch]

Who'd of thought the Banana would be out of gas.

[@timothygeiger437]

Is Robby going to paint your FJ after you get it done?

[@RobbyLayton]

@@timothygeiger437 I sure hope so

[@gravityskeptic8697]

So is the Gold Nugget 😉

[@dawabbitt3079]

It's really beyond 'cool'... perhaps even *awesome* - that there are *SO* many different KZbin channels coming together on a regular basis, providing content that links them into one big Off-Roading Brotherhood. And it's so much better than any of the past Cable-TV series where shops and their employees turn to more *drama queen* content, than they do actual *build* & educational content. Thank you, for yet another entertaining and inspiring video to watch on a Sunday morning! Looking forward to the day you hit 100K Subscribers and hoping it'll sneak up on you faster than you can imagine!

[@RobbyLayton]

Thank you for subscribing and commenting it all helps and we are overwhelmed with how well every one has been taking our context we will do our best to keep it coming and keep everyone entertained!!

[@CajunWolffe]

Well said, I couldn't have said it better myself. I learned a lot about bodywork in just this video and the one where Robby fixes some dents in the Bannanna while helping Matt install the cage.

[@CajunWolffe]

@@RobbyLayton Keep the great and very educational videos coming because it's that "watching how it's done" content that attracts the DIY spirit in all of us who are craftsmen that have to have stuff to tinker with and fix. I'm a 69-year-old retired industrial mechanic, an Ed type. LoL, Ed, and I could sit near the shop stove on a cold winter's day telling stories all day long.

[@brendenvandyke6874]

Are you going to power coat the bumpers? I'm here in Ephraim and do power coating would be more than welcome to do them!

[@adammorgan7874]

I couldn’t agree with you more!! I don’t watch tv show’s anymore. I watch KZbin channels from down to earth like minded people and it’s far more entertaining and I can watch it with my son who also enjoys it. Keep up the good work my friend and I look forward to seeing your finished product with the banana.

[@rustybell2722]

"Everything is better when you clean it." I totally agree.

[@johnme7049]

@Rusty Bell Yep, You just cannot paint dirt people. Clean it, degrease it, then clean it again. It cannot be to clean before you paint it.

[@richardhobbs7107]

THAT is what 'Sarah-n-tuned' always says ! ! !

[@petejoy6328]

I was very impressed when Matt said he wasn’t that picky about some of the paint, and you said you only do your best! Hell yeah Robby!!

[@skippylippy547]

This group of people are so much like family, aren't they?! This is how life should be lived folks! ❤ Wonderful group of very special people here.

[@stevebowser7248]

Dude, you are a natural on these vids. This 26.7k subscirbers needs to get to 267k....... Im amazed about all the little pieces and parts that have to come out....then go back in! Yes, Matt will CRY first time he dings it. Those are what we call 'happy problems'......

[@aaronb4286]

Can’t wait to see it done! Nugget and the banana…good luck!

[@redwave4454]

The banana brought me here. You gained a new sub! Can’t wait to see more content! The banana is in great hands

[@josiatokirina1788]

Robby, your attention to detail and excellence is exactly why I watch your videos! There are way to many "good enoughs" in this world. I especially love how you prep. When the prep is done well, the final results will not only last longer, but show the beauty better.

[@petertarantelli]

You’ve got a great crew Robby, the Banana is in good hands!

[@donkoltz1]

No doubt. Looks like he has some hard workers on the payroll. Seems the Banana is in good hands.

[@gsettlemyre]

The crew are his older brothers!

[@tennesseepride5255]

Put a roof rack on top to hide the damage. Matt could use the extra room.

[@toysoldier46552]

Yeah, for gas cans lmao. The one thing he forgets all the time.

[@ThisOldMan-ya472]

Add a couple of collapsible chairs, instead of riding the spare tire.

[@JimSealyJr]

@@toysoldier46552 That reminds me of the seats on the bumpers of Marlin Perkins Land Rovers they used shooting Wild Kingdom back before you could just stick a GoPro on a fender.

[@machintelligence]

Or put a reflective sun shield on half inch stand-offs to keep the interior cooler in those 110 degree days. Land Rover used to have something like this.

[@flam8882]

Yes, Trevor needs a place to hangout.

[@brantmcfarland517]

That is going to be a lot of work. But I have faith in you guys. I do believe you all will make it turn out very beautiful. Good job guys. Thanks for sharing your videos with us and me

[@argentum530]

The paint job is only as good as the prep! Great to find another off-road oriented channel, yours is a welcome addition to my growing slate of channels discovered since I first came across MORR...

[@RobbyLayton]

Absolutely it’s the things you can’t see that are most important to just about everything in life especially autobody prep is everything!! Thank you for watching we hope you stay around a wile

[@canyonrunner]

Slourpie paint for body work!!!! Seems somehow appropriate for the Banana. As an old time subscriber, all I can think of is Tweety vs. the Roadrunner. The background scenery is perfect. The “Banana” is the perfect Tweety. Matt’s business card should simply say, “Matt, Genius”.

[@truenaturestormers2525]

Nice job on the Banana and Matt Birth Day Party was awesome, you guys are great friends.

[@104silvae]

Between this channel, MORR and Fab Rats, sunday mornings just got that much better! Love the videos. God bless!

[@larrydavidson3402]

I can already tell this crew is going to do a fantastic job on the Banana. Great bunch of people to put together a party for Matt.

[@countrygal854]

So cool you get to be involved in the Banana make over.

[@ecka4x4]

That birthday was so cool. I've always thought of having a chainsaw to cut up a cake, but hitting one with a flamethrower is next level. Good to see the poor old Banana getting so love. Matt's work life is a bit like one long derby except he's only driving hard & putting in dents & breaking stuff, not killing other cars. You guys have to do a face off one day.

[@frcon200340]

Glad Matt got you involved. Its gonna be awesome watching you work on the banana and golden nugget.

[@bucsh00tt28]

The walk around with details and explanation of work going on is a pleasure. Your team is impeccable. The work shows it.

[@keithcrawford1290]

Robby. You ave the confidence of a true pro. Love watching your helper,as we can tell he is happy with his job. Very cool. glad to become a subscriber.

[@bc30cal99]

Greetings from the mountains of southern BC sir. Nice to see how the shop is set up and the crew work with each other and you as well. It gives an old guy more than a little hope for the next shift coming up - kudos to you all. Merry Christmas to you all too.

[@Cap513]

Couldn't Agree More!!!

[@BUKWulfSh0t]

12:17 dude that is some beautiful welding skills!

[@dwal2165]

Good job and glad to see everyone working together building great entertainment as well as great vehicles.

[@SwedishCook1]

“I can fix that” love your attitude!

[@ryancoke9]

This is so awesome… the collaboration between fabrats Matt’s off-road and now Robby Layton!!! Greatest thing I’ve seen all year, especially with the different view points from everyone videos!!!! I really hope these continue down the road!!! It’s literally gold

[@dragnfli520]

Robby, lovin' your channel! 💙

[@montgomeryrothschild4986]

Big Dinner is a good guy! Hey brings a lot of positive energy to the team.

[@north_of_bangor9867]

Man you’re def one of my new fav KZbinrs! Glad Matt sent me over to you! Like your style!!

[@ronaldbarnes8302]

Nice to see your channel growing Robby! Look forward to seeing your magic on the Banana and Nugget! Doesn’t appear there’s to many vehicles that are to far gone for you to bring back. Thanks for the video!

[@blakeley98]

Came over from Matt's channel. Begins with Toyota (forklift) Pulling Jeep. Paul would be proud

[@Nathan8rr]

GGs getting the Banana back up to snuff for Matt and the crew!

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

It always amazes me how much work their is to body work. I struggle to keep a vehicle together and you take one apart in no time.

[@carlauten]

Great video Robby and Team. I am a viewer of Matt's Off Road Recovery and have been following all of the recoveries and projects. We have been following the Banana build as well as the Golden Nugget build with Paul at Fab Rats. Can't wait to see your future videos of the body and paint work for both projects!

[@Cap513]

Nice Teardown young man. You've got A Great Crew it seems.

[@acanfield87]

Great work! I liked the idea of black interior with yellow roll cage.

[@randyjones2494]

Robbie Get after it! That looks like a lot of work but is in great hands Good luck guys!

[@TrzCharlie]

Cool stuff, it looks like Matt has the right crew for the resto. Kudos guys, enjoyed the video.

[@dgmills5351]

I just found this channel and I am happy to see the surgeons work their magic on the Banana! 🙏😇👍

[@MadhuSudhanpro]

Stumbled upon your channel after Matt's instantly subscribed because of the quality content 👏 thank you

[@eastunder55]

I watched Matt's Offroad Recovery channel video of the birthday party intrigue right before watching Robby's channel version. It is one huge family there in Utah!

[@rctjacksonville]

What a unique opportunity, this guys are working n what could be the most famous Jeep on the internet, no pressure, right? With almost 1 million subscribers, this young guy is going to be very popular!

[@davidstringfellow4101]

Robby, first video of yours I've seen. You guys do a great job and are a pleasure to watch. It's cool to see how you, Matt and Paul work together and support each other.

[@nevillecartwright7292]

I just love this bunch of guys!! Everyone is just so down to earth and genuine, and so good at what they do! I really do enjoy watching these episodes and can't wait to see the Banana and the Nugget get completed! Thanks so much for sharing this with us - it's so entertaining! Wishing you all a merry Christmas, and sending warm greetings from South Africa!

[@youshouldknow7969]

So pumped to see the banana back in action with fresh suspension and paint/interior. Good luck! 😆

[@TJfromAZ]

Good to see the Banana get a good bath!

[@anthony5227]

Hell yea. Matt’s the goat. Can’t wait to see how it looks!

[@mikerafone4736]

Much cinamatic improvement. Keep er movin.

[@TrevorDennis100]

Goodness Robby. You _really_ took on a job there. I was not expecting it to be so thorough with the Jeep completely torn down like that. NZ is a bit too far away, or I'd be coming to your shop for any paintwork I needed. It's looking like you do outstanding work, and I can't wait to see the finished job.

[@pitbullocked]

cool vid's Robby Layton.....Matt,you and Fab rats make the morning with coffee go sweet.

[@andyrbush]

Wow you guys really get into the work fast. Fascinating to watch.

[@bigjaz8768]

Hell yeah. You boys seem like a good bunch of guys.

[@samh4100]

YOU want subs, well here it is when you said "EVERYTHING'S BETTER when its CLEAN" , you had me. No body can dispute that . And your show is pretty cool too, keep on working with Matt and his ratts and you'll go far .

[@sandkworkshop]

Love all that is being done on the banana. It will be fun to see finished as well as the nugget.

[@lnaesll]

Glad to see this project quadrupled your views. Keep it up bro!

[@RobbyLayton]

More then quadrupled like 300,000 times the views haha thanks for watching!!

[@tyhogue8316]

Looks like a lot of work! Once your done he’s gonna be afraid of scratching it. I would say it definitely earned its keep and is deserving of a little pampering! Great job guys.😁

Here is a comment for the algorithm. Hope your channel grows

[@bartondean4260]

Weld a lower door armor kit on it first to go with the new rock sliders, then paint it Robby. Guaranteed it needs it, you can just order one, they are 3/16 metal and you plug weld the bolt holes and make nice beads across the top, I did it on my 2000 XJ. Worth every penny. Quadratec has the Rough Country kits, $130
