Glad you got the back seat put back in so I could hitch a ride at EJS! Great job on the rock slider paint job Janelle! The other stuff that was done was alright too.😉

[@treyveston7965]

Nice to see Trevor chiming in and adding support! You and Rudy have awesome chemistry on screen (but in a manly way...) and it would be cool to see you guys collaborate on some upgrades on the Rudicon. Former 12B here wishing all the success in the world for Rudy's new channel!

[@lonhoschar1943]

There always seems to be a ton of "last minute" things to do before a trip. I learned to give myself twice the time I think it will take. Even then it sometimes is not enough. Enjoyed watching you tackle the "getting ready to load" things!

Half done looking great. Rudy good to see you have a Lady that doesn't mind helping you out good luck to both of you

[@JohnGoingAndDoingThings]

I'm so glad we have another channel to look forward to. Thanks Rudy!

[@TheFalcro1234]

Imma say it again (because I think I am right lol) Even when the Rudicon is finished it will not be finished, crawlers are never finished and 1/2 Dun Rudicon is the perfect name for a crawler built by you. That is all lol. Love then content on your personal channel and I am very excited to watch it grow.

Good job Rudy. No to thrilled with the hose clamp shock mount?? They will fail at some point, so when you get back, cut a piece of round stock in half and make two shock beds to put them into! !! !!! Stay vertical.

[@CarswithNash]

Hope the trip goes smoothly for you Rudy.

[@danhambrick6331]

Nice job Rudy.I like the purple....😁😁👍👍

[@mrheart4242]

Just a little tip. When tightening a nut and bolt. Turn the bolt in then turn the nut to tightening the 2. It takes more friction and force to turn the bolt. It also tends to Gaul the bolt weakening it. Love the show.

[@kurtwerner4258]

Your not wrong at all. But those shock bolts don't need to be very tight, hence the nylon lock.

[@jamessmelcer616]

Great show Rudy and Janelle and Otis!! I am in agreement with a few other comments, get some jackstands! I think you are doing a great job with your channel! Thank you all for sharing! Please stay safe and keep the videos coming. Jim

Don't worry, Rudy. The channel will get better as buy the equipment you need. MOR was a little rough in the beginning. You'll get it. I LOVE THE SHOCK HOOPS! MY FAVORITE COLOR!

[@johntimm7265]

Looks like you are making good progress. Like any Jeep I don’t think it will be ever fully done. 1/2 done seems like a permanent name.

Hey Rudy , I thought that you were going to use the cinders to encase the reservoirs by siding them into the cinders , but that worked out well. Have you decided on the color for the jeep? Your girlfriend did a great job on the rock sliders, I still like those 40's, you guys have a great time at the Easter event and show us the video, later from Texas 🤠👍

Hi Rudy and congrats on 117K+ subscribers already. I'm one of them of course. Been watching you and your dad in his vids from the first ones. I love that you now have your own channel. It's gonna run. Your helper could use an introduction, please and thank you. Don't get under that machine while it is only held up by the fork lift! I almost sh*t myself when I saw that.

If you paint the whole Jeep purple. You could call it a the egg plant, or plum. The color you chose is GREAT!

Damn those shocks look noice! I am wondering about the masking taped Rudicon on the side: would it be neat to spray paint that bit to create a negative text? Keep the masking tape, spray some paint around, remove tape. tadaaa. Rudicon in nice and janky lettering. Just a thought

[@cotton-Dave]

Wouter--I get that and LIKE IT! If he just "rattle-canned" around the immediate area in a puffy pattern, when he stripped the tape the lettering would be like in a cloud! YAY!!

Thanks for the build along Rudy! As a BC resident my entire life I would like to say, with all due respect of course,….. you don’t even understand rust from your part of the world hahaha

[@joseywales3789]

À good salt water sea breeze, winter snow and ice and summer heat and sun.......... vehicles don't last long and if they're more than a few years old, nobody wants to work on them because every fastener shears off or is so rusty that only vise grips work! Ah the pleasures of living near the coast in Scotland! But the view is nice and it adds to the flavour of the Whisky!

Rust ? I'm in Southern California. I've heard of rust, but I've never seen it in person. 😏

Understand the need to relocate the fluid reservoir but now you've introduced another issue as the hydraulic hoses will rub on the underside of the hood.

Let's hope your UJs last better than my record of 10 (yes TEN) miles of Staffordshire's finest gloopiest stickiest mud before one handed in its notice and totally failed with a broken spider....

[@gordbaker896]

Good thinking covering the Battery when welding. Many don't at their peril. Lovely Helper. Always consult with her when choosing paint colour or barber. Always were safety glasses when removing 'Jesus Clips' . Those U-joints didn't happen overnight. Just Sayin'. Grease the spline and remove that zerk fitting 10:10 and put it into the U Joint.. Complete the bracket weld at 4:50, -both sides for control arms. *"JACK STANDS"* Audio is Fine. Pinion Angle? Should point slightly up for those Cordon Joints I believe.
