Gotta say that I’m amazed by Rhett’s driving skills, given the limited length of experience behind the wheel, that he’s had. Bravo Rhett ❤️🇷🇴
He's probably got more experience than we know. I drove my first gas powered vehicle at 3. I imagine he started young as well
He's done a lot of driving..behind camera...what you know only 5% and he got 95% more behind camera that you didnt know
He's got a good teacher 😀
He has been watching his dad his whole life.
If I'm not mistaken, in previous videos Matt's made the comment that "all of my boys are good drivers". I think he added that they're good because he started teaching them when they were little but I could be wrong about that part. Eitherway, no one gets that kind of confidence and ability by just watching.
Matt, it is clear to me that your dogs are not mistreated and are very happy. If all dog owners did for their dogs what you do for yours, this would be a much better world.
Those dogs are having a much better life than a dog that spends most of it's life in air conditioning watching TV with it's owner.
The biggest thing to come out of this video IMO is just how good an off road driver Rhett has become.💗
Considering how stock the Bronco is (a few suspension upgrades and other minor bolt ons) and how utterly custom the Banana is (nothing Cherokee left under it) - I'd say the Bronco did an amazing job - it made it through every challenge, it basically dominated the sand chute, and it was right with the Banana on the rocks and the slow drag...
As far as I know that is a stock Jeep Cherokee engine, I know it was for years ago but I don't know if that's still the case today
@@the_undeadwell it’s still a in-line six buts it’s a stroker motor now. But I believe still stock transmission and transfer case set up.
Yup was thinking the same thing. And you don’t need a trailer to get the Bronco home.
@@CharonSin technically you don't need a trailer for the banana either, It's just easier on the vehicles to use a trailer and a truck configured for highway driving then to use vehicles that are configured for off-roading on the highway
That ifs will not be durable enough for a rescue rig imo.... I am surprised at its ability though
Lets give this young man Rhett a big hand. His driving skills have really come a LONG WAY. Impressed as heck at them for his age. Had a good instructor too, Matt. Both did a great job in this competition. Wanna see that Bronco after the improvements are done on it. 😀
All in all an awesome video. The Bronco impresses me every time we see it on the trails. Rhett's confidence and skill on the trails is equally impressive.
Rhett is my favorite
Easy to be confident when it's not your vehicle tho.
I'm amazed to realize that I've been watching this channel since before Rhett was old enough to drive. All of a sudden, Rhett has become an awesome off-road driver. Well done, young man!
Tribute to Matt. Rhett’s confidence in taking the Banana into sketchy situations shows that he knows that he will be supported by his dad, as opposed to being scolded and punished for a miscalculation or well intentioned mistake. And tribute to Rhett for respecting his father’s opinion.
Yeah I was impressed. Even the one spot he really wanted to spot (and eventually did) he was going to back down and let Rhett go through.
What a great Dad!
So what's the point ?
Not a very good spotter.
Yea.... Too bad your dad bullied you 🤕
So now maybe you can realize a different aspect of parenting is possible.
Carry that lesson forward into your own future
I almost spit my coffee out with that quick edit to the Rory roast lol. That was perfect.
The editing in of Rory with the gas comment...priceless! Just love the friendships that y'all have.
What an impressive video! The cut to Rory with his out of gas comment was hilarious! The Bronco is amazingly capable, as is the Banana. Rhett is becoming a top-notch driver too! All in all, a thoroughly entertaining video!
I've been surprised how capable the Bronco has been (obviously w/ a solid driver), but still. Jefe & these videos have been the best advertisement Ford could ever hope for haha
I'll bet a lot of broncos get sold because of this. As an off the shelf vs a custom build it really shined. Rhett's experience exceeds his years by far. Great video!
The bronco has plenty of aftermarket upgrades already
@@brians5791 - the owner disagrees.
Bronco is upgraded all to hell. Not near the banana mods. But both are just sheet metal donors
@@anotherdave5107 The Owner only sad ' the engine is stock ' !
That’s why I bought one. Getting to the age where I don’t want to wrench and fabricate anymore. Sold my trail rig bought a Sasquatch Bronco 2 inch lift 37’s and a winch gets me anywhere I want to go these days and in comfort. Also it rides and drives way better than a new rubicon hands down
Actually laughing out loud at the Rory gas edit. Well done!
Hats off to the drivers, Rhett and Jefe, you're both extremely competent! I'm not surprised that the Banana out performed the Bronco in the rough stuff but I am surprised by how well the Bronco did for a mass produced vehicle with bolt on accessories! That was very impressive!
Very impressed with the Bronco. After all the mods I’ve watched over the years on the Banana, to have it roll as well as it did with the Banana is impressive. And, with IFS being more a Baja vehicle, it still got through some challenging rock crawling.
Rory: "Yeah .. When it has gas in it" .. instant classic!! lmao
Thanks for a great side by side video. It’s fun to see how the different vehicles take the same challenges. Y’all treat those dogs better than people-and you already set the gold standard for treating people well in all situations.
One of the best things I’ve found about this channel is how awesome it is that no matter what’s going on he always has time to teach his kids and whoever else wants to learn he always has time. Along with always allowing his kids and his employees he’s more than happy walking cause his kids or wife is doing the driving. I tip my hat to ya Matt ur a hecka guy. Thanks for teaching us also
I don’t think the sand is too hot for the dogs but it’s kinda funny that Matt who welds without gloves is like “ let me touch this rock to show you it’s not hot. “ This man clearly feels no pain when it comes to temperatures lol
😂
Also t shirt in the frozen mountains
That bronco is awesome! So glad you guys added it to the team
Rhett's skill, temperament and finesse bely his years. He turned into a top notch driver remarkably fast.
LMAO @ Rory "When it has gas in it".
A couple more years with this crew, Rhett will be a real pro. Altogether a wonderful and enjoyable video.
Rory got me chuckling right off the bat.
I love these channels.
I will say I’m impressed with the Bronco , when I first saw the Bronco , I was sure it would have been a “Road Princess”
Not the case at all
Props !!!
Rhett deserves mention. For his age, he is an amazing driver! He held his own in this test. Way to go Rhett!
Okay but I wanna know how much better Rudy was at Rhett’ age then!
Great job guys! I am impressed with the way the Bronco handled the rocks. Solid axle is best for rocks, as you guys demonstrated, but for 99% of us the Bronco would be great because it does better on road and high speed off road. Hats off to Rhett for recognizing his dad's "suggestion" for a spotter meant you really need one for the line he had chosen. Matt was calm and Rhett was accepting of the "suggestion". A camera is a plus. Experience is a plus. Rhett had neither compared to his competition but the Banana and Rhett's confidence in it made up the differences.
Great video!! All I saw was two skilled drivers in very capable machines. And I learned a few things.
Amazing how well be Bronco does with how much of an OEM machine it still is. Very little of the Banana is what Jeep did to it years ago, very purpose built for these conditions. Both are excellent rigs, glad the MORR team is well rounded with lots of different equipment.
I guess a 10 speed vs 4 speed would be OEM as would a cell phone vs rotary dial.
Nothing against the bronco but this one is far from stock. I venture to say it's 10 to 15 thousand from stock.
@mikesmith-bt6um Bumpes, rails, tires, and lights only though. I don't seem much change to the suspension other than a beefier tie rods, maybe I missed it.
Rather tall lift. The steering upgrade that a bronco has to have. I believe axles were down...more than once. There was also another major, I think steering, upgraded part a few episodes back
@@mikesmith-bt6um correct, this bronco is far from stock, except for the engine.
That was fun to watch. Hefe and Rhett both did great. I am surprised Ford hasn't contacted you guys. I bet lots of folks are considering Broncos after watching how it performs. Hefe is going to have to open a driving school for new Bronco owners.
Ford still trying to keep up with tie rod demand. That bronco isint stock
Love Rhett's confidence in how well the Banana would do and then his confidence while driving it are awesome! Good job to both guys and both vehicles.
Yall really are the best comercial for bronco out there I swear. It really holds it weight for a dealer purchase vehicle vs a completely custom built unit.
watching your son dominate the trail with the jeep must make you a very proud Papa, he has turned into a great driver
Matt, I like how much you let your family members do the driving! A tip of the hat to you!
Also, it amazes me that people are so concerned about the dogs! They're having a blast and loving every minute!
Absolutely agree. Those dogs are well taken care of.👍
Wow that was a lot closer than I thought. “Great DRIVING on BOTH DRIVERS “. You ALL ROCK !!. THANKS
I loved that part with Rory. 😂😂😂😂
I think Rhett should get bonus points for asking for spotter. Especially considering that it was Dad's jeep. That's just smart!
I totally agree. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness!!!!
@@robertgallant6422and asking just to be sure too, that's safety-minded. Takes mental discipline to do that in a competitive situation.
Rudy didn’t get any extra points when I drove the banana back then..
Seeing the dogs watching through each obstacle is so funny, it’s like they wait for the pass and give their approval.
AWESOME VIDEO MATT, would be cool to see Dig Dug do this !!! Rhett did an amazing job with the Banana
Extremely impressed, that the "relatively" stock Bronco performed almost as well as the very custom built Jeep. Both extremely capable rigs.
I'm more impressed with the XJ compared to a 90k plus new off roader that's been upgraded as well.
It was great to see all three dogs out there. I missed seeing Lady’s smiling face. 🙂
LOMA at teeter totter! BOTH drivers did excellent! Especially younger Rhett! That was a lot of fun , thanks for taking us along!
I don't think anyone has perfected the art of calling out comment trolls, light-heartedly educating them about why/how they're wrong, and doing so in a concise way that doesn't interfere with the flow of the video. I really want to work with MORR!
Loved the quick Rory clip "Yeah, when it has gas in it"
I agree with Jefe......Rhett had an unfair disadvantage since it was his Dad's jeep. He most likely would have gotten thru that obsticle without a spotter but Dad wasn't gonna take the chance 😅 Matt, Rhett's driving skills are awesome. Shows that he watches, learns, and applies. Great job Rhett. Awesome job by both vehicles. Jefe.....loved your "Teeter Totter" everytime it went to three wheels. Thank you for sharing the adventure
He would have ripped the mirror off and scratched up the entire driver's side if he kept going as he was. Thats why Matt stepped in.
watch the replay back, rear tire was slipping and jeep would of go side ways.
Yes Matt saved the banana’s mirror. Rudy should have driving it!
Rhett had the advantage it wasn't his car, Jefe was way more careful because it's his personal car.
Thank you Matt for being the voice of logic on the IFS vs straight axle debate lol.
Already cracking up in the first seconds of the vid😂😂 Rory is legendary 😂
Absolutely love your channel. So much fun and so much to learn and experience. Thank You for sharing all your builds and adventures!
HEY! Goooood morning everybody and thumbs UP to Matt and crew! 👊👊👀
Rhett has some really good instincts and driving skills. I am really impressed that he is so young.
Rhett's driving skill 😲 .. The Bronco's capabilities 😲 .. A very good explanation of why a solid axle works better at articulation ... what a great video ❤
Rhett is quickly becoming a great off-road driver. Good work Rhett!
Very cool love to see people actually use their off road cars off road !
Jefe you're doing Bronco buyers proud! Great video and contests. Thank you for the video.
Great job to the both of you. Jefe, hanging out with Tyler is showing! Glad to see your confidence & technique improving!
I'm proud of Rhett, that young man is turning into a first class hand in the shop and a very competent off roader! Matt, keep an eye on the rear view mirror for that Bronco, it's becoming a real capable performer!
As someone with no significant off road experience, I am completely amazed that any vehicle can get through some of those obstacles !!
Great job guys, both trucks are extremely impressive!
You guys make that trail look easy!
Thank you for the inspiration.
The way jefe took that obstacle at 21:04 was textbook for the Bronco and showed that he's quite the Pro rock crawler. Great video!!!
Paused at 2 and a half minutes to tell you that this format or video style is kickin man!
Great job editor!
What's even more amazing is that the Bronco came really capable from the factory already. The changes made were made to make it better at the kinds of obstacles it encounters in Hurricane.
But it was already pretty good from the factory and that's really a unicorn when it comes to factory cars.
The Banana is custom built EXACTLY for these kinds of obstacles and there's nothing factory about it as far as the suspension, drive line and everything that matters for its progression on a trail goes. A factory XJ vs a factory Bronco would see the Bronco win everything every time.
And that's what's scaring Matt the most, not that Hefe is going to make the Bronco compete with the Banana, but the fact with only a hand few modifications the Bronco is already where it's at and there's still plenty of room for improvement.
What scares Matt is that he might have to make his next recovery vehicle based off a Bronco.
I agree with everything you wrote.
The main difference is the cost, you need to be making a good living to afford a Bronco, but most anyone with mechanical skills can build a banana little by little.
There also aren't many people that are going to spend 70 grand on a vehicle and then take it rock crawling.
Great job everyone on this vehicle comparison test. Had me going "oh no!" a couple times.😮 The dogs were the spotters and knew how to take care of themselves. Thank you for sharing ❤
Very entertaining 'n informative vid dudes...Thank you, I really enjoyed this vid, exceptionally good. Hefe 'n Rett, you dudes have exceptional Off Road Driving Skills...
Great job Rhett,and great job Matt on the Banana Build. Also great job Hefe your driving skills have come along way. Thanks for the video guy's.
You all are awesome! I love waking up to something fun to watch!
I think I'll stay in bed a little longer to watch this.
Same lmao
Lol same, Just finished !
Me 4
Where’s the hot broad
That’s literally me right now
What a lesson of life. Rhett, you made your instructor proud today. Please give Jefe an applause for teaching Rhett his moves.
It’s so good to see you guys out there having fun! You are my favorite channel!
Love this video. I wouldn’t mind having either one of these vehicles
Good MORRning!
That was great. Front and rear cameras really are an awesome upgrade on trucks and off-roading.
I enjoy watching all of your videos, my favorite of course are the ones with sketchy recoveries 😅. But i must say, i love these kinds of videos a little more because of the comparison of what both machines can do. ❤
Props to Rhett…driving his dad’s jeep while he watches through all those obstacles was probably some of the most stressful moments of his life. 😂
That bronco is definitely impressive, I can’t help but wonder how many folks watching these videos will now go check out getting a bronco instead.
Looking forward to seeing what upgrades are done and how much they improve.
Fully built XJ $10k-$15k. Stock bronco $100k+ if you can find one.
Bravo for both vehicles, the bronco was impressive on the sand shoot hill.
"when it has gas in it" - Rory 😂
So I drive a Hyundai Sonata that I just put a trailer hitch to tow a enclosed U-haul trailer on for a camping trip. The final hill and steep grade before arriving at the camp site on a gravel road definitely had me worried for when I had to leave today. So I took what I learned from this channel.
I turned off traction control, and f-in GUNNED it and I will be damned, I BARELY made it and had to kinda steer left to right at the very end but I made it! So thank you for the knowledge! It save me a ton of embarrassment!
Matt don't worry about the Dogs 🐕🐕🐕 so much 😉.
Your dogs are smarter than 3/4 of the people in the World !!!!!!!!!
I have enjoyed your off road adventures 👏👏👏. Take Care ✌️🤠
Rhett building that young man confidence with the support of old men wisdom👊🇺🇸👊
A great competition. I'm impressed at how well an almost stock Bronco did against the Banana. Thanks for showing us what they both can do. Both drivers did a great job too!
I was visiting your fair city today from central Illinois a cool 2100 miles. We drove by your facilities and spent a few hours at Sand Hollow State Park. You do not show your beautiful scenery enough. I have enjoyed your videos for years and I loved the chance to see the area in person. We were out seeing the Grand Canyon and we are spending the balance of our time visiting Utah. Keep up the good work.
Good job Rhett! 7:25 amusing race.
The Bronco really impresses me on the Sand Climb.
Awesome video Matt one of the best ones this month. Can't wait to see y'all om the bombe
Very VERY informative video gentlemen. Thanks for putting out such amazing content.
This is fun but I miss the Sunday build videos. Great channel Matt !!
The dogs live their best lives with you guys, Rhett is remarkable, and the Bronco is growing on me. Best Sunday morning entertainment ever - thank you! And Happy Thanksgiving from Canada!
I'm a Bronco owner and I was completely sure that the Banana was going to be the better rock crawler. But I was surprised at how competitive the Bronco was in this matchup and how well it hung in there! The Banana is a custom built rig with a suspension designed for rock crawling. The Bronco suspension is factory stock on a daily driver chassis! I think that this video showed the Bronco at near it's limits rock crawling while the Banana is capable of a lot more! Great video!
I believe Jefe mentioned in the video the front camera is no longer accurate because of the suspension lift.
I totally agree. However I have the Badlands w/ SAS so it may have done a little better but man the Bronco really did put up a fight - STOCK. 🙌🙏
Amazed about both Rhett and Heffes driving skills. Nice video and I'm really impressed what that Bronco can do!
Good morning MORR!!!
If the bronco has an advantage of a front camera, then all your rigs should have live cockpit video on both axles. Seems like a very doable upgrade.
Awesome driving by Rhett. And wow super impressed with that bronco for something that’s not far from standard.
Rematch!!! No cameras for Jeffe. Rhett's skills behind the wheel are awesome. Outstanding Dude!!!
I gave the new bronco such a hard time when I first saw them out on the roads. I have an entirely different perspective about the new bronco now after watching this challenge. Awesome content guys! I'm loving everything you guys put up.
Never judge anything until you feel it for yourself.
Love this! Both rigs were so so close in their abilities, and both jefe and rhett were in touch with their rigs. Very impressive!
A better test of *just* the vehicle would be to put the same driver in both vehicles, on the same trail. Get Tom Tom to drive the Banana, and then the Bronco… Or vice versa… And see which one does better. That being said, I am not complaining about the video. I believe it was pretty fair.
I'm impressed by both....I wouldn't have thought the Bronco would do as well as it does....really great!
Another brilliant entertaining video a definite pleasure to watch as usual, thanks guys.. That said "man of the day" that has to be Rhett, well done Rhett, you showed your skills admirably, so you should get the Victory pie!
it's incredible what these cars can do
Oh man that's so cool. I'm waiting with excitement your every post. Thank you guys keep up the amazing work 😊
Excellent video guys.....testing was superb.....yes it is close !
I love the side clips from all of your friends after you say something then they come in such a good touch lol
