New Plan, We're Turning Ed's LJ20 Into A Rescue Jeep!

Matt made a call to make a new plan. We're installing a tow hitch on Ed's Jeep so he'll be able to pull people out of the desert.

8:50 That is incredible that there is a fresh grill to use for Ed's GN! Craig and Cissy are so awesome for donating that! WOW 🤯

[@user-ng2uq8sj7r]

Yup … awesome donation from these guys , thank you Craig and cissy

[@Stratos53100]

Looks great with the integrated factory logo

[@tosgem]

I made a comment already, but they should send the old grill to those people signed by these guys, Fab Rats, Matt and even Ed if possible. Even add that chain link in the same spot so they can hang it where the old one was

[@Adrian-Pryke]

Love how many companies are getting behind this build, it’s going to be epic once done 😎

[@JF32304]

Here here!!! Love all the collaboration!! Fantastic!!!

[@mrmotofy]

But remember these companies are offering a few dollars of products for nationwide advertising and publicity...they're getting off amazingly cheap in the advertising world. Realistically it's general business operations. Try asking these businesses to just offer free products for your build without a video or fanbase...bet I know the answers.

The "taking Ed to the Store" segment was hilarious!! You guys sure seem to have a lot of fun! I can't wait to see the finished product. And I REALLY can't wait to see Ed's reaction to it. I am amazed by the outpouring of love for Ed! GREAT JOB, guys!!!!

[@claytonfs]

This isn't a paint job, it's a full restoration. Robbie and crew sure do a nice job and are putting in a LOT of work, I just hope no one is milking this project for views at the cost of not getting the Nugget back to Ed sooner.

[@hardlybentspoke1506]

Your KZbin videos are especially welcome right now. At age 84 I'm too antique to be active in such projects anymore, but I can participate vicariously, nodding in concurrence as various brackets and gizmos are dreamed up, and decisions made. It's amazing to feel like I'm sharing real world experiences with Robby, Matt, Fabrats, MischiefMaker, and others related to this extended family. Living out here on the left coast, I eagerly await every report on the reconstruction of the Tally Ho, a 100+ year-old sailing cutter, by Leo Goolden. And then there's the energetic Dutch woman, Noraly, who is traveling the world by motorcycle, and sharing the ride as "Itchy Boots". Everyone: it's perfectly acceptable to crowdsource as needed to keep your dreams moving ahead, in return for bringing us along.

[@davidparsons5727]

[@alopandur]

Matt said once that Ed does not watch anything... Unless someone makes some hour - hour and the half compilation of entire build and organize an event, brings Ed in the room and make him watch, I doubt he will see any of this... Also, he looks quite pragmatic, I am not sure he will be as exited seeing his new car as we all, the KZbin followers, are.

Love love love these videos!!! You guys are awesome what you’re doing for Ed and the funny cutout sketches leave me laughing. I was the only girl in auto shop and I took a class in college on auto body repair, used to do small projects that weren’t perfect or professional but worked for me. I had a 75 CJ5 with a straight 6 in it and painted it pink and black. I loved it and I know Ed will be over the moon with his!!!

[@karenminard2464]

The most amazing thing about you and what you do and your company etc. is how motivated and goal oriented you are to produce excellent outcome in your work and how respectful you are of your own tools and equipment etc. You should be very proud of yourself for being as young as you are having set your goals and continue to achieve them. You are the type of man that younger men of today should use as an example instead of sitting back like so many of them do today with their hand out expecting to be given to instead of them having to work for what they get. I love your channel as well as Matts and the fab rats and Casey’s and a few others. Just because I’m a woman and 75 years old doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the heck out of these kind of videos. 😍

Definitely not overkill with the hitch. Personally, I would have even put a 2" hitch.

[@blueheeler4807]

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.

[@wesleyedwards2764]

That is a teeny tiny atv of a rig. It will be overbuilt though. I don't think it needs a big receiver. That one will be just fine and easy for Ed to swap out. It had a little piece of wire welded on for "pulling" before.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

I think it's sized about right, it's too bad that it couldn't be reinforced a little more due to the gas tank though.

[@williamwallace9826]

I was thinking the same thing. The little hitch is adequate for strength, but it's so much easier to find 2-inch drawbars.

[@KD5XB]

No such thing as overkill in that part of Utah. I'd want the 2" too. You never know when you're going to want to borrow a hitch and it's only in 2".

[@DonovanColbert]

Amazing how clean and shiny those doors still look after 40 winters in the woods in the Sierras, being dragged through a river, and loaded up and transported cross country to Utah.

[@swnorcraft7971]

If you are in the habit of water quenching welds that "don't mater", you inevitably will quench something that does..........Don't quench welds. I agree with all of the "don't quench" comments this far. Robby, love your channel. Your body and paint work is top notch. The Nugget is gonna shine!

[@blackheart30518]

Just for future reference on anything steel that needs to be as strong as it can possibly be never ever rapid cool with water you weaken the weld and the steel and if it cools to quickly it can crack or crystallize the steel. So anything hitch related or anything that need 100% strength let it cool slowly at ambient temp for the shop not freezing winter temps outside or water cooling if you absolutely have to cool it a little quicker use a fan. I have been a certified welder for over 20 years. Rapid cooling is not your friend if strength is needed. Love the channel and your shop does awesome work wish you were here in ga I would definitely have you do my bodywork.

[@allenbraun8759]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who freaked out on the inside when he dipped it!

[@lunchbox2784]

Depends on the steel. Some steels it doesn’t effect the strength much. High carbon steels are more sensitive.

[@nintendogamer5472]

@@allenbraun8759 it's way over built to begin with cooling it quick ain't going to make a difference, this thing won't be able to yank a prius out of the sand, I was surprised they beefed up the hitch as Ed will like never use it.

@@nintendogamer5472 no doubt, but if your going to go through all the steps of building it you may as well just assume some day someone will overestimate its strength and do silly things to it!

You and your staff have a lot of fun, but in between the fun you find some real talent. This is only possible with a good leader, Hillbilly does have some real skills, and Dinner is really devoted to the work and great follow thru. The nugget may not be a true rock crawler, but it just might be most expensive LJ20 by the time it's done. If you figure in what it took to get it rescued with man hours and equipment, donated part, and ED cutouts and bobble heads.
