I’ve been impressed with Rhett, he shows great maturity and skills at such a young age. You can tell he was raised well.

[@keithdunlap8981]

Since you are adding inconsequential forward thrust from the engine fan, you might as well have the engine exhaust be straight pipes out the back to double the inconsequential forward thrust. Or you could have the exhaust pipes turn down so the inconsequential thrust would make the Bombi slightly lighter under load. BTW - I'm a retired mechanical engineer so I really appreciate these types of discussions.

[@nataliepifer78]

The way Ed Practically ran over to Matt to help Matt lift the bed frame,you could tell it made his day being able to help.

[@SPIDERMURPHY-np8bj]

I appreciate the shows honesty. You guys are not afraid to admit you're human and do make mistakes. Being able to edit your mistakes would be a temptation but instead you guys show it in a humorous way which adds a little comedy. Great Job by everyone !

[@zachdurrett1357]

Watching Ed help do anything warms my heart. You guys are freaking hilarious!!! Rhett is going to pass up Rudy at this rate. You add Papa Dar & Robbie returning Blue Steel (with a bonus Corvair) you’ve got one hell of a video!!!

[@mtacoustic1]

Lookin' good! Suggest two things: 1) Rubber isolation mount the radiator - aluminium has very poor fatigue resistance and will crack in short order; and 2) Make the engine top panel and frame a bolt-on removable piece for future mechanical access.

I really enjoy seeing the young ones getting into the full service capacity, when I was about fifteen, I bought an old Ducati 250, my first motorcycle with a title capable of "street legal". I went to a friend, about a decade older, with a cracked seat frame, he shoved a piece of steel at me, and the torch after demonstrating, and I've been a welder ever since. Getting real world experience in my teens set up the whole of my machine shop, welding life, still at it as I turn 66 next month. You've got a great life going for all those around you, thanks for sharing!

[@alk7142]

Exhaust would be better as two stacks I think. You guys are doing a nice job.

[@Smallestpond095]

better Idea absolutely! It would look better by far, the manifolds are going in the right direction, most of the hot exhaust would be out of the engine compartment as well as directing the volume upwards! A couple of glasspacks would look great!

[@paullenart9396]

Exhaust would run cooler, ventilation to fan would be cooler & it would also free up more room for engine maintenance!

Thank you for all the work you put in to provide us with regular content of such high standard. This is a thoroughly enjoyable channel to watch and most educational. Some of my favourite lessons so far- -Don't drive down a sandy hill to see which (if any) vehicle can get back out. -Always fuel up, especially when driving into the middle of nowhere with no fuel station. -Always remember the keys. Keep up the great work.

Suggestion: If the whole cage was removable, down to the top of the tub it would do make the engine access much easier. That can be done with pegs inside the hollow square legs and locking pins through them. Just cut it all off after you have finished construction and it will fit perfectly.

[@R.Sole88109]

Good idea.👍🏻 I was thinking some hinges on the back so the whole platform flips upside down with the top of the headache rack touching the ground so it'd create a work platform. If you picture what I mean.

[@redneckdave1968]

The "Bomb Bee" is looking great. I love watching your channel, following the builds and rescues. Ed's just a great guy helping you when he can, going on rescues or helping around the shop. It's also cool to see your sons working with you. I looked it up "Rigamarole" (North American English) (also rigmarole British and North American English) [uncountable, singular] ​a long and complicated process that is annoying and seems unnecessary". I don't think your builds are rigamarole. They may be long, complicated and sometimes annoying for you but definitely not unnecessary. Keep up the great work and videos I'm always looking forward to the next one.

Like most commenters, I love Matt's relationship with Ed and of course Max, Lady, and Peanut. But, this video has tons of the banter between the crew that I enjoy listening too. Their expertise about things about engines, vehicle operation, and tools is amazing. It is also amazing how often they use some version of a hammer given that they are surrounded by much more complex tools. Thank you for making such great videos.

[@davidblalock9945]

I got to say, you're completely overlooking the opportunity to put stacks on it with tractor flaps! You could also run a snorkel up the backside of the cab too to ensure you've always got access to air, no mater how much snow or sand gets kicked up.

[@ronaldgillespie5714]

I think I would put the battery under the floor of the cab to keep it away from the heat. Possibly put a bench seat along the back for extra help , passengers or for the occasional parade, and a box under the seat for the Matt's recovery rope and ties.

Bed finishing idea: since you are already making it black, how about some kind of non-slip rubberized type coating? People will be climbing up there with snow covered gloves and snow covered shoes. That'll save someone (or 5) from getting hurt. And for your headache rack panel, how about a negative laser cutout of your MORR logo. Thanks for sharing, BEST channel on YT!

[@AndreasMadsen]

Awesome stuff as usually. A little thought about the exhaust. I'd probably go for stacks or a boring downwards solution, just to avoid getting exhaust fumes in the face when working behind the vehicle and also to avoid getting burned. Stacks would probably enable you to shorten the exhaust inside the compartment and get some of that heat out of there earlier. I'm not an expert by any means, just seems like a really bad place to have exhaust blasting out for your particular use. Thanks for sharing your shenanigans with us.

[@surlyogre1476]

Additionally, I would expect the tracks to be throwing snow and sand right back into the exhaust outlet all the time.

[@luppano]

Stacks seem like a good idea !

[@iandownie9848]

Consider the rooster tail of snow from the tracks getting thrown into the exhaust pipes?

There are 100s of different Rivnuts with as many other names, some are extremely strong and will hold anything you require. The secret is to research and check the numerous types and materials. Once you get good ones, buy in bulk because they can quickly vanish from the market. The rule of thumb is if they are steel then the smallest tool you will need for setting is the one Matt is using, although there are wrench (spanner) setting tools. The types do not all require round holes. Use the correct one for the thickness of the material and its use. Love the Bombi work best. But I do watch everything. It is nice to see the old fella enjoying the twilight years, well done for taking the time and loyalty to include him.

[@MrChrissy1r]

Many years ago I was fitting a Yacht hull with new gunnels in hardwood and found that one side was 3 1/2 inches longer than the other side, it was a brand new fibreglass hull too straight out of the mould and delivered to our marina.

As with all of your projects I'm all in to see how the build shakes out. I didn't have any real exposure to father/son stuff like this so I pick up as much as I can and love how you have a 3 generation crew that all work and learn from one another. Thank you for the possibility of winning one of these batteries. I got quite a kick out of it when I discovered that Full River is in my own hometown!! I'm in Oregon now so this kind of battery would be very beneficial to my Cummins converted Jeep J20 build and the cold temps that love to unalive batteries a lot like the summers basking in Hades when I spent 8 years too long in AridZona. Keep doing all you do, MORR crew! We love ya! 🧔🏼👋🏻

[@jamesnessen3054]

Use Crome flanged tips like a boat has with through hull exhaust. Use a larger tip than the exhaust pipe. That way you have clearance for motor movement and will not transfer to the body. Also when you remove the rear side plates the exhaust will not interfere with removing the bed

I'm seriously thinking about retiring at 60 and living off my 401k and pension until I get to be 62. The only thing is my pension will only be a 20-year pension because Hormel only made us Hormel supervisors 29 years ago. Probably to save money on the pension program. My only problem is insurance. I did see your video on this subject, but I'm still concerned on this issue. Everything we own is paid for exseped my new 22 Bronco. My plan is to keep making the payments and pay more on them.

[@MrFturner]

I say stacks for exhaust up the corners of the cab. Put a chrome heat shield around it OR black, and you will keep the bends to a minimal for the exhaust. At the tips, I'd do a 45 bend that is angled 45 degrees out from the body and finish it off with a vertical cut straight down. That way you can easily work around the bombee while its running and not worry about getting exhaust in your face and it would look really cool, and tough.

[@spaight711]

4:15 A heads up for Tom et al on the drill press. Keyless chucks are awesome, but they have a shortcoming. They can’t handle the torque of larger diameter cutters. You can bury a straight shank bit as hard as you want, but anything with a necked down shank, like S&D bits or a hole saw can make the chuck lock up solid if you go too hard. I keep a keyed chuck to change out for sketchy purposes.

Blue Steel looks like a just-off-the-showroom-floor new truck. Beautiful craftsmanship! We know we'll be seeing it in some dirty action soon. That new Corvair is a year newer than the 62 Monza coupe I had in college in Youngstown about '68. I'm sure it's less rusty than mine was. A friend had to weld in a floor plate on the driver's footwell before my feet went through it. Good old "rust belt" living I'm so glad I've been out of for over 50 years. Beautiful fabrications on the Bombi!

[@MikeBaxterABC]

7:37 .. the steel ones are great, and they’ve been around a while. In my time as a Millwright, I have seen them used multiple times on equipment and machinery directly from the manufacturer. They can fail like anything else, when that happens, they are super easy to remove (I’ve even torched them out) and just pop a new one in If they fail a second time we would weld a nut on … or flat bar and drill and tap

You should try to add a Decked system (or fabricate a similar long silding drawer mechanism) for the bed of the bombee. You could mount it horizontal so they run the width of the bombee. Lots of covered storage, easily accessible, and it would maintain the low profile so you can see out the back window. And you could still have a bed on top of them

I Think (I am sure.) you need to limit the fan power. That fan, without a clutch or being a flex fan, will draw many HP at high RPM. (Over 20 HP possible. Also the extra wear on the accessory bearings is no joke.) Also, Tom will have to play with tuning a lot as the Engine Compartment Pressure WILL be lower causing Reference to Atmosphere to be wrong. This can be compensated for but gets tricky. (Think about how enclosed the engine area really is.) I just had to mention this.... Finally, All of you guys are great and thanks for the videos.

I reckon going in the diagonal from the back of the rear quarters to the radiator frame extension would clean up the look on the rear a ton. Looks kinda like lego at the moment. Gonna be a beast, can't wait to see Bombi 2.0 in action!

I love that Matt's kids are involved in working in the garage, but I think everyone would benefit from taking a welding class at the local community college or tech school. The kids have some welding experience and are at the perfect age to absorb the theory and know how to apply it because of their experience.

Not sure what your final plans are for the bed. You may want grip tape or texture on it. I just see it being super slippery in winter when it’s wet.

Engine heat should keep it clear of snow/ice. Maybe wet

Nice to see Ed doing some stuff 👍🏻

Hi Guys! Food for thought. The way you have the side panels set up might suck alot of snow thrown from the tracks into the engine compartment and cause issues when the melted snow freezes. I have seen this happen on a similar design. They had to make a baffle system so that the snow was deflected down. It was interesting.

7:20 People were saying the rivnuts wouldn't work?! I have a feeling those people never used them before. They are amazing little things that make life so much easier. Not to mention they look nice and clean when your project is done.
