[@blondebeard6335]

Does my heart good to see the relationship y'all share with Ed.

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.

[@daveboberg67]

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.

[@cmichaelhoover8432]

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)

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!

[@DB-yj3qc]

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.

[@deuceAl]

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.

[@Mewsielynx]

Good morning ! Warmed up to -20 ,C with blowing snow..enjoy your day...from The Yukon Territory...

[@TwoTrakMind]

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!

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.

[@fredfrederick5607]

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.

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.

😂😂😂 Just saw your comment! Totally works!

[@mattoneill9723]

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!

[@musicman8942]

I don't know of any winch, especially if it's one with a wire cable that are pre-stretched.

[@DB-yj3qc]

No the winch line isn't pre-streched even if it was, it's good to make sure the line is spooled correct.

[@8Zk3]

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.

[@cobrakenny]

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!!

[@davidgates1122]

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.

[@roadmasterz]

Thanks Matt for keeping the Corvair references going for this episode! And by the way, 1953 was the first year of the Corvette.

@@sjv6598 seriously. And it doesn't work if you have to halve a number like 35 5/8 it'll get you close. Most fabricators or people who use a tape regularly should be good at adding and subtracting. I have to use basic math constantly when fabricating.

[@RadDadisRad]

Hey Kaulin. Neat trick with a tape measure. Take the 0 and put it on the full number of the tape measure, middle is where the tape measure bends. Also if you need to add to numbers just place the number you need to add up against the number you have and your 0 mark on the tape measure will land exactly on the = of those 2 numbers

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.

[@jeeper426]

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"

A few videos ago Matt mentioned that he wanted to build a Baja Corvair. Way back in the early 1970's my best friend's brother in-law did just that. He shortened the wheel base, cut off the top, welded the doors shut, cut the wheel wells, put on bigger/wider tires and lifted it. He said it performed well, handed well and was a blast to drive. I found a picture of a car online that looked very much like my friend's brother-in-law's car. I was going to attach the picture but I can't find a way to do so in the comments. But go to Google and Google shortened wheelbase corvair, and it will show up. The one in the picture still has the top on and the doors are not welded. But the wheelbase is very close to the car I saw back in the 70's. I hope you find this helpful. Tom

Rhett don't worry about what you say to the camera you're becoming a great welder. Kaulin it takes a bit of time to get things right with a tape. Measure it twice to get it right!

I hear you with the short people problems. My dad bought a brand new Honda Pilot back in June that my mom was having trouble getting in and out of. I had to buy and install running boards on it. Of course, the downside is I keep tripping over them.
