The RUDICON is Almost Done for KOH!

[@donlarsen9807]

Rudy and Janelle, watching the two of you doing things together warms my heart! Nothing better than a woman by your side that is not afraid to jump in get her hands dirty and help you reach your goal so you can enjoy things together. And her giggle is a plus. Thanks for sharing, have fun and be safe.

[@dennispalmer6007]

Love Janelle’s attitude. Willing to try anything even if it is her first time. If you don’t try and make mistakes you will never learn. Oh and when painting rims try some soap on the tire . When the paint dries wash the soap off

You have a awesome lady Rudy she helps you with a smile on her face

Yes! Perfect partner to realize your dreams Rudy. I watch Matt's videos and now I will yours. I enjoy them. I love fabrication but don't have a shop.

[@billsimmons7754]

I would like to know what Rudy does in his spare time. Not much I can give advice on but I did see one tip for you. When cutting rubber most of the cutting force is actually friction. Just wetting the blade (spit will work) will greatly reduce the effort. And of course laying down a trail of dawn on the cut line will work great.

[@FUCK_________googIe]

this is his spare time, he has a job

RUDY, I like the way that you approach your metal work with one EXCEPTION, FOR LARGE, FLAT PANELS (the bottom for the fuel tank has two), do slight cross breaks to kill the harmonics of SOUND VIBRATIONS inside your passenger compartment!!

[@matthewmccumber56]

Helpful hint... when cutting rubber mats.... spray your razor or knife with a spray lubricant such as wd 40 or jb 80 or aero kroil or something. Makes cutting nearly effortless.

[@maxironpaw]

Hey Rudy - A few suggestions for next time: (1) When painting a large horizontal surface like that trailer deck, just pour paint right from the can onto the surface and use a roller on a broomstick to swab it around. Much faster than spraying but spray the details and nooks and crannies (tow rings, etc.). (2) When cutting horse mat lay a piece of pipe or tube under the cut. That puts the material in tension at the cut and it will cut a lot easier. (3) Drill or burn some drain holes in the gas tank tray for drainage. Good luck at KOH!

[@cameronskaggs4188]

❤ great job Rudy and Jenelle On the gas tank, you should build a cover and use it to cover the gas tank so you can put stuff on top of it other than that great job. I love what you did to the trailer.

This one has a nice flow, a good amount of narration, and shots from numerous angles in and around the shop. I agree that your fenders have flair...good job Janelle. You guys have a natural interplay that's sweet. Also, don't want to step on any toes here, but I miss seeing you with not just "Matt's Offroad" and crew/family, but also Rory @ Trail Mater, Fab Rats, and the other shops and friends in your group of rock crawlers.

I was there at KOH the week before. Crew for a 1450 desert race truck. Broke a big 44 spline axle shaft. Would have loved to have been there for week 2 and meet all you guys that I follow. Matt, Paul, Rory, Rudy& Janelle, etc. But I was working on putting a running engine in my Toyota 2wd desert truck. All my toys are broken right now. Toyota, Baja Bug, buggy, and even my dirt bike...☹ Ah well timing is ... uhhhmmmm...important. It's not everything because having a Jenel (spelling of my former love's name) with you that shares a big love with you is much closer to "Everything".

Instead of using tape to mask off the tires, apply a layer of Vaseline, shoot the rim and wipe the Vaseline off. Easy, cheap and it makes the rubber shiny too.
