Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
I honestly thought Rudy was older than that. Not bc he looks older but bc of how much he does and knows already. It's very impressive. Matt & Jamie have obviously raised him very well!
Bro i thought the same aint no kid acting like him
If Rudy wasn't a member of the family, Matt would have to convince Jamie that they should adopt a 37-year-old union welder named Vince.
I like Mattçs way of training Lizzie. Point her in the right direction and let her figure it out.
Rudy is wise, very wise. That's why he think he is older. Wisdom from learning from the best when you only have one option, Success.
21st Birthday, the day when Americans begin drinking Alcohol and Russians stop drinking Alcohol...Happy Bday!
I hope someone has had "The Talk” with Lizzy. About spinning machinery and long hair. Even a ponytail can wrap up on a drill bit or grinder wheel so instantaneously fast , she at BEST could be scalped to death before (if ever) the rapidly whirring machine comes to a stop. It’s terrifying to watch her in the shop with her hair not securely tied back. I keep wincing and telling my self she’s fine or this video wouldn’t be posted. All of your lives would be so horrifically changed from such a terrible thing. Ours too. Love, peace, and joy.
Yup watched a guys in my high school shop class lose his pony tail to a drill press. Never did grow back, just a bald spot. Teacher did lose his job over it. So Lizzy please wear a hat with your hair pushed up under it or tuck into your shirt please.🙏🙏
I was going to write something very similar to what Thomas and Robert here have stated, but they have said it all.
Lizzy and Matt this is no joke! Cover that hair up, remove all your finger/neck jewelry and any loose fitting clothing when in a machine shop area; missing fingers, arms, or scalp in no fun.
I too should have seen this as this happened to a surfer in wood shop class in Burbank, CA. He leaned in to check his work and the drill press pulled him in a scalped him sort of as it wrapped his shoulder length hair around the chuck. I don't remember see him past that so do not know the end of the story. Thanks to Thomas for bringing this up.
LIzzy, i hope you read this!!!
And please wear eye protection when grinding, welding, etc, and while working around others who are grinding, welding, etc.!
I like how they're experts at using CAD, Cardboard-Aided Design, to design and engineer parts to put on the truck.
Hey Rudy, you ever seen a grinding wheel explode. Put eye protection on when grinding or in the area of someone grinding. Im a retired Nuclear Power plant welder. I have seen wheels blow up and take out florescent lights 20 feet up. Protect them eyes.
I worked at a place where someone checked a 440 line and didn’t change his meter. It blew up in his face and they had to airlift him to Denver. He WAS wearing eye protection at the time and came back a few weeks later to thank those who helped him. I remember the dozens of little pit marks all over his face except where those safety glasses where and you could literally see the outline of where the safety glasses where worn on his face.
100% agree! Had a mini cutting disc explode on my die grinder the other day, a piece hit my upper arm and left a small bruise through my Levi jacket and shirt, ALWAYS protect your face/eyes when cutting!
@@onesadtech and the Twig & Berries!
@@maxnovakovics2568 What do you suggest? A cup!?
It's good that Lizzy is flexible in what she does, and no matter what Matt throws her way, she takes it all in stride. My compliments to her dad for helping to mold her this way.
Those Utah girls! Lol
@@johnnyhumbolt2545 who knows, she might actually make some guy a good wife!
Yup. The world needs more like lizzy 💪.
Good comment for father's day.
I'm sure it wasn't just her father who instilled such a great work ethic.
I don't care who you are, this is the most wholesome channel on UA-cam.
"I don't care who you are" .. either .
It was until Matt called the scrapyard and asked what they would give him for the Banana ... in scrap prices!
Vice Grip Garage also
Matt's biggest flex of the year. Using $200 worth of lumbar to hold up a car part.
Next week, he cuts up a entire sheet of 3/4" tongue and groove plywood to mask off a rattle can paintjob of the frame.
🤣🤣🤣
Was offered a 2021 Corvette the other day for two 1/2” sheets of plywood. Laughed at the guy. I know what I got.
It’s a jeep thing lol
@@Newberntrains you know what Jeep stands for..
Just empty every pocket
Lizzy!! Allways wear security glasses when you machinning anything. (grinding, tapping, etc.) Hot metal chips goes directly into your eyes. You don't wont it there.
And that dangling hair! Yikes
Amen!! I had a sliver of metal get in my eye and it hurt like hell! They had to let it work itself out which was EXTREMELY uncomfortable!
@@Makitafan there are videos, that show what happens.
Love Lizzy's persistence. She isn't scared to try anything. As my daughter was growing up, I kept telling her I don't ever want to hear because I'm a girl.
I like her optimism. If she chooses she would make a good fabricator judging by how fast she learns.
Unless it's a reason for doing something she wants to do!
Everyone on here is great, hands down, without a doubt. But yeah, gotta give props to Lizzy. She gets right in there & does her part. No, "but I'm a girl" or "hehehe, looking ditzy is cute" stuff. Young women of America, this is what a real young woman is supposed to be like. Most of you are doing it wrong.
Nice idea but Lizzy is prefect.
They have a good role model.
I love: "It's up to our standards" - then cut to Lizzie and Matt hammering and grinding out the lumps - full marks to the editor😂
A grinder and paint make me the fabricator I ain’t. I am really enjoying this video, Matt is taking the time and having the patience to show Lizzie how to do this type of work, passing on knowledge is a great thing.
please wear safty glasses next time, you had me cringing
@@stevethorn9221 YES. I've had a small broken drill bit ping off of my glasses - dead center in front of my eye-hole - and that could have screwed up my whole afternoon. I know a guy who got hit in the eyeball with a fragment of a galvanized nail, and he permanently lost his sight in that eye. Safety fourth!
@@stevethorn9221 Agree. In my case, getting a steel lathe swarf surgically removed from my eyeball was a hard way to teach me to always use glasses.
Matt owes Lizzie another pair of blue jeans.
I have a feeling this will be Matt's most popular series as people will watch it for inspiration on how to mod their XJs.
Also Happy Father's Day.
Good to see the Banana getting upgrades. It has worked so hard for many years and hopefully it lasts for a lot longer.
Lizzy: Your training on the mill was incomplete. Yes, the bolt on top tensions and loosens the collet for changing tools, but its actual purpose is throwing wrenches across the shop.
Across the shop??? How about across the county!!! Happened in a shop I once worked in and we never did find it. Who knows, maybe it made into orbit.
Im saying nothing
@@garyjohnson6640 Check the attic that's where I found mine. It was only missing 2 years.
The lathe is next. That really gets the t handle going....
@@rasfsa theres always the drift in the radial drill arbour. I never did find the emergency stop dangly thing
Nothing like dirt and metal sparks in the eyes to remind you of your safety glasses. ;)
Everyone disregards eye protection until you get something in your eyes 👀
I think it is great the way Matt teaches Rudy and Lizzie both out on site and in the workshop by letting them figure things out themselves. You all should wear safety glasses when sanding and grinding. Lizzie could solve her hair problem by putting all her hair in the ponytail instead of off to one side then when she is working with machinery she could just tuck it inside her t-shirt. I would hate to see someone so pretty and so full of life get hurt but something that is easily avoidable. Keep the videos coming.
Lizzy is a super hard worker! I love that she wants to learn and that Matt gives her a chance to figure things out on her own.
Everybody is a "hard worker" when they have a camera on them...
If you watch Lizzy she almost hangs on every word Matt is saying when he is explaining something, she really wants to learn.
The lack of safety glasses while using a angle grinder………..I used to do the same thing till my eye doctor told me I had “scarring” in one of my eyes. I’ll admit it, I still don’t wear them as often as I should, but that angle grinder is a must.
I had to get some rust drilled out of my eye from a piece of metal that got stuck in it for a few days- and I was wearing safety glasses when it got in there. 100% with ya.
>but that angle grinder is a must.
You mean eye protection?
Please Lizzy just wear those safety glasses.
As an former EMT I was called to those accidents.
Not excusable.
@@alexanderholzer7392 yes
I was raised in a shop doing things I had no business doing, so I get it. Even at my advanced age, I sometimes find myself doing something while telling myself “this is dangerous” and then I cut, bruise, or burn the crap out of myself. Matt, you are old enough to know better, but please insist the kids wear eye protection and Lizzie’s hair is protected. She will make a great mechanical engineer someday because she will already know thousands of ways not to do things🤣
@yaliso gioouy even more so when it's rusty!
Love the CAD drawing templates (cardboard assist drawings).
This is a fun and crazy rebuild! Lizzie wear your safety glasses when you are grinding things you only get one set of eyes!!
Exactly what I thought. Matt was the only one wearing safety while grinding, and only goggles. Always wear the welding mask with no blackout. I’ve had grinding disc pieces slam my mask many a time, as well as metal come around goggles.
Exactly true..
"No measuring, just convenient guessing". I live my life this exact way.
You freekin’ killed me with that “I do sand dune recovery, (welding glasses rip), and I need a light vehicle.” Love this with my morning coffee.
Lizzy's willingness to just jump in and try to get it done is awesome
People from the rust belt were screaming when you were going to scrap that body.
That “maybe it’s valvoline ad needs to be turned into it’s own little meme! I LOL’d
I ROFL'd
I totally lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I came here for this comment! That was hilarious 🤣😆
That was awesome! 🤣
I think Valvoline may have just found their new ad campaign.
Lizzie's attention to learn how to make a " better" Banana is, well encouraging to see in a young person. Go young lady, go.
And those hips 🤤😍
@@krustiestone1596 Bruh chill she's young enough to be your daughter wtf
@@krustiestone1596 Totally uncalled for. Grow up.
@@PabzRoz Agree. This young woman deserves respect!
@@krustiestone1596 way to class it up bud.
"Does it still have the cats?"
"Yes"
"I'll give ya $80"
Lol sounds about right!
Lizzie should really tuck that ponytail in the back of her shirt!
Actually feel compelled to warn Lizzy about her hair and that angle grinder....if she's not careful, that sucker will yank those pretty braids out at the roots. Banana earned a rehab utube video. Just get 'em out.
As a suggestion: The rear cargo area of your Cherokee could use a custom-built cargo drawer system to stow all of your tow straps / recovery ropes, etc. - The top can be either a simple cargo liner or something padded... All this for organization, but mostly for the comfort of your dogs.
Are you a Jordan Peterson fan?
I'd like to see a cargo barrier. All those nice people with tools, chains and winches bouncing around in the back waiting to give a life changing head injury.
Don't be silly, Matt doesn't bring anything that he actually needs on a recovery.
Tuffy makes a great slider drawer box for the yj that I'm sure he can make work in the xj
@@geepuller1 yeah, I end over end rolled my 78 Trailduster and there was a old school metal tool box, chains, hooks, and probably a kitchen sink in the back. Factory roll bar did its job and how none of us end up with hole in our heads from heavy metal debris flying around I still don’t know.
I love the way you’re training up Lizzie. She’s learning so many skills. 👍🇬🇧
I know you weren’t serious from beginning but if you ever auctioned it off I bet you would get a darn site more from fans buying it
I could see fans getting in a bidding war.
I bid $81.17 🤣
If he actually auctioned it off, I am fairly sure he'd get at least $100k for it.
And then have to send the Morrvair out to rescue it later the same day. 🤣
A very appropriate episode for Fathers Day with Matt being an excellent father figure showing how to work around the shop. Happy Father's day everyone.
Even though "Safety is Fourth" at Matt's Off Road Recovery. Everyone should be wearing Safety Glasses when you're on grinding metal. Look at ALL of the viewers comments about the need for wearing Safety Glasses.
This is just a good family and we all admire them. They have amazing skills. The first thing I felt though is watching all the unsafe shop practices. Even if you get by with it for decades, it can catch up with you. This is not criticism, just concern.
Look at all the people who have a terrible story to tell.
Shake Hands With Danger!
Yes, keep your recoveries for the off road kind.
I'm an ironworker, and we use water soluble cutting oil whenever we're drilling through steel. It comes in a 5 gallon bucket, you mix a small amount of it with water, and it works great, stops you from breaking expensive bits and makes them cut much faster. Plus it lasts just about forever, we've been on the same bucket for nearly 2 years now and we use it regularly.
Machinist checking in. There's pretty much no benefit to using emulsion since your feeds and speeds are so low. You will get better results (more tool life) using dark (sulfured) cutting oil on steel. Emulsion is still better than nothing in your situation, though.
You know there'd be a mutiny if you actually ever got rid of the Banana.
We'd all unsub :P
@@daveisnothere For Sure! I came here for the XJ!
I stayed for the morvair.
@@kingofbrutaltheocracy9201 the MORRVAIR is definitely awesome, but the Banana is the tool that helped build the channel. The people are awesome as well.
XJ All day!
Matt, you nearly made me cry when you said you were going to sell the old "Yellow Banana" for scrap, it deserves to be preserved for all time.
“We didn’t do a lot of measuring, just convenient guessing!”
There is a bavarian saying: I never guessed that wrong as is measured wrong

I cannot believe the amount of work that Banana puts in day to day. I love this channel. So excited to watch the build!!!
I can't believe Jeep hasn't given Matt more love as a company. They couldn't buy advertising like this.
"Maybe she's born with it... Maybe It's Valvoline!" 😂 😂 😂

I didn't see that coming, lol!
The young’uns won’t get it.
That was gold hahah
I nearly died laughing🤣🤣🤣
I enjoy Lizzy’s willingness to learn and work on projects. Good job guys
I enjoyed Lizzy's facial expressions when she was working on the drill press changing a drill bit. Great Gal. Not afraid to tackle new things
Lizzie, don’t ever change.
SIX! agagagagagaga
Lizzy's face at 10 minutes in when Matt's telling the plan of lifting and sliding in a piece of metal was priceless. You can see the head gears turning hard, she knows it's a bad idea just doesn't have the words.
at 9:49. yep. I had similar cogs turning inside my head while I was watching that process.
I have no idea why I enjoy watching this so much. Im not the greatest Jeep fan, I know nothing about cars or fixing them but I watch every episode.
Nothing makes my heart smile more when it comes to a vehicle having to say it works everyday and doesnt ask for much that is the jeep xj for u 4.0 strong and it proves its reliability and simple structure to continue hard journeys with ease , love the the 4.0 because u can have all the work u want done to the jeep but its the 4.0 that took u everywhere u went .....👍🏻👌🏻. And Lizzie watching u weld nice job lizzie its an art a women can master .....👍🏻🤙🏻
I'm so glad the Banana is getting the upgrades it deserves. It's such a reliable go-getter and it really built this channel. I think it's just as much of a character as anybody else on the channel. Looking forward to the builds to come!
Matt, i literally have been addicted your awesome videos as you have so much love for your co workers. sense of humor. the love and showing us what you do with the repairs etc and most of all you are an extremely soft teddy bear/father as you treat them like family.
Lizzy, wish you would wear safety glasses(eye protection).. You only get one set, once their gone, their gone... Be careful young lady....
And please, please tie up your hair near that milling machine. It would be a mess... :(
I just love her young happy curious self so much joy in life
Her dad must be proud
I love how patient Matt is with the kids.
"That thing hit a rock sometime in it's life", I can't imagine that
And the rock looses the battle😋
Banana beats rock.
Maybe it’s Valvoline!😂
FAB RATS!!! best fab in UTAH
Fab rats! Legends
16:26 LOL
I came to comment this exact thing😂😂
I laughed my but off on that one.
So happy for the little banana that could, she deserves this! Excellent work by everyone involved, can't wait to see how this all turns out. 😊👌
I just knew that you were “wolfing” about the getting rid of The Banana!! You would have huge problems because it’s definitely a fan favorite!!
I am a Machinist up here in Canada, and people will always cry about something..
There is always better, faster, more correct way to do things.
However, you got the job done without damaging the machine and getting hurt...
That is most important.
One key thing I did see was safety glass use...when grinding, crap is going
everywhere, this is a case that wearing safety glasses is very important.
In Canada we must always wear safety glasses in the shop!
Always , safety first...
I always watch your videos...keep up the good work.
Lizzie, a suggestion. You only get one set of eyes. Use goggles more when grinding or scraping dirt. And congrats on learning a bit about the milling machine. Everyone has a first time, and it looks like you had a successful first time. If you get a chance, take one of those drills to a real machinist and ask him/her to teach you how to sharpen it.
I was thinking the same thing (for all of them). I can't do anything under my truck for 5 minutes without getting stuff in my eyes, let alone grinding and scraping.
Matt is very careful on recoveries, but "Safety Fourth", is some honesty about the shop work.
no safety glasses while using a grinder you only get 2 eyes
6:35 Wear your safety glasses Rudy! Really don't want to see a future episode where you have an eye patch.
We responded to calls at the auto shops every so often. Had one guy with hair about as long as Lizzy's get it caught in a creeper wheel. He normally kept it in his shirt but some fell out and when he gave himself a push with his legs it ripped out a chunk of scalp. He was pissed his hairdo was messed up. Said it took him 5 years to get it that way.
Oh and I didn't know that's how to stiffen a frame. Learned something today!
I love Lizzy in there doing this stuff , but please protect her "baby blues" by wearing safety glasses .
She is so cute .
There is nothing tough or cool about not being able to hear or see. I see lots of guys not wearing PPE when grinding on UA-cam as well.
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony yep it only takes 1 quick mishap to change one's life.
About Matt's comment about how sharp the drill was or wasn't, as someone who sharpened cutting tools for the last nine years before retiring, I would say it was still in good enough shape to do what he was doing. My criteria, he was getting good even chips off both flutes and the holes looked fairly smooth considering the material. Could it look better, that goes without saying, but he wasn't/isn't building a rocket. As the saying goes, it was good enough for who it was for.
I was wondering why he didn't use a smaller drill first, but then maybe what he used was not a drill but another tool.
Yeah, it’s not going into space. Drill worked fine. Could have increased the rpm a bit.
As a graduate of Machine Tool Tech (Machinist degree) he was using a milling machine, usually they're Bridgeports.. He had what looked like good RPM, but dont hesitate to put a good amount of oil on it, the oil helps a lot. There's actually a Machinist handbook, that tells you the best RPMs for the diameter etc. too, but in this case if you sacrafise a drill bit cause too fast, or too slow, Oh Well lol buy another one.
@@c0mputer faster and more lube
The question is, will the Banana be able to "peel out" when you're done?
I see what you did there.
The Morvair won’t be, “done,” until it has air conditioning.
It has windows...
No air? That’s is a killer living in a place like that.
And a working filler cap...
@Matt Pipes It already has 4-55 a/c! 👍
Even then, it won't be done, though that might be all it gets until something crucial gets broken...
I just 20 minutes watching y’all cut janky metal pieces and say “ah ah ahhh.”
LOVED IT!
I remember when poly bushings were the latest tech, and all the rage. I and my friends have also noticed over the years that they just don't have the durability of good 'ol rubber, and have gradually been going back to OEM rubber as we do maintenance on our junk and find broken poly.
I recognize the "big hole" that was covered up as the access for the stock upper control arm bolt. Not a problem if you've moved the mounting location for a lift. Definitely a problem if you haven't. Just an FYI for others thinking about this dive.
As a former safety manager who’s had to deal with serious injuries I say this from the bottom of my soul. PLEASE WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. I’m begging you. It may be an inconvenience but so is having one eye. I’ll let the other 87 safety violations go but please just put on the glasses. Love the show!!!!
The lack of glasses always kills me. I had a piece of steel removed from my eye one time, never making that mistake again
@@Beandiptheredneck Had an angle grinder disk explode and embed a chunk in my upper left cheek. 2 stitches and lifetime supply of face shields later, I agree 100%.
@@pppaybackkk ouch! I know a guy who's blind in one eye because the exact same thing happened to him
Just to educate people who don’t know, At 18:14 where they say, “holes drilled 19 turns apart.” A turn is actually called one revolution. One way you can think about it is with cars and rpm which means revolutions per minute
The best lesson I ever learned working with my hands was, work smarter, not harder.. you live that motto and it is awesome..
You can rebuild him, you have the technology and the UA-cam subscriber base.
You can make him faster, stronger, and tougher than any other Jeep.

You develop a emotional attachment to the Cherokees. My 96 has half a million miles, a hole in the roof, no interior other than front seats and dash, and it sits for months at a time, and starts right up, and doesn't burn a drop of oil. Everything works except the A.C., and that I can fix. If only I held on to women as much as I do this Jeep.
Lack of safety equipment is staggering to watch. Shortsleeved, I’m not sure the glasses are safety impact or just against strong light protection . Scary but them some of the recovery operations are also. Stay safe folks!
Lizzie, Please Please Please start wearing safety glasses when grinding. It only takes one small particle to blind you for life! Eye Patches are only for Pirates.
It's EXTREMELY unlikely that "one small particle" will "blind you for life". As a 20+ year auto tech I've had more things in my eyes than I can count, hot metal, chemicals, ect. and at 57 just started wearing reading glasses. I think you're being a bit hyperbolic.

This guy is pretty special. What an amazing family he leads. Just great people all around. So real and respectable.
Matt, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE insist your employees wear eye and hearing protection. They're worth it.
They’re adults who make their own decisions - what bothers me more are the kids watching this channel.
When grinding steel - or anything else for that matter - just one tiny flying piece of melted steel in one's eye is all it takes to ruin one's day.
And the ponytail around rotating machines. Definitely could use a few refresher courses. Nothing is worth a lifelong injury.
It'll be too late when you're over 50 and have permanent ringing in you ears to regret not wearing ear protection all those times.
@@Sashazur They're young adults making poor decisions and they're employees of Winder Towing. Like it or not Winder Towing or MORR has an obligation to it's employees to provide safe working conditions. Someone gets hurt unnecessarily and the evidence is right here on YT for Utah's equivalent of OSHA to use as proof of negligence on Matt's part as the employer. Responsibility may bother you but it's law and it will bite Matt on the @$$. And no saying PPE is available and they made a choice doesn't work. Years of experience in workplace safety here, how about you?
Thank you in the name of the banana fans in the world .....and thanks for the next upgraded ....the banana, beyond the jokes, is the spirit of winder towing....greetings from Argentina👌👍👍👍
Safety glasses are a MUST for ANY shop work.....you don't get second chances! Face shields help a bunch as well. One small particle of metal traveling fast can ruin your day. God be with you. Thanks for sharing.
At some point in it's life, this hit a rock... everyone watching: Only one?
shout out to trevor for being a great cameraman and keeping the conversation going
Someone needs to tell them all to wear safety glasses when grinding, drilling or operating any machinery. Metal slivers come off that grinder at a crazy speed and if it gets in your eye, which it very easily can it will mean a trip to ER. Drill bits can break, especially when being forced. Lizzy really needs to tie her hair or wear a hat. If her hair gets caught in that milling machine she could easily be killed.
Don't think there is a pair of safety glasses in the shop!
As a metal fabricator for 20 years I agree wear glasses kids steel in the eyes is not a fun experience 🧑🏻🏭
As a retired Safety Officer I can tell you for a fact that you don't even want rust in your eye. Oh ya, and there is no such thing as an accident. The word, "accident" is just an excuse. I've investigated hundreds of safety incidents and there is always a "reason" that someone got hurt or injured. So wear safety glassed..........ALWAYS! 😣
Completely agree. I like these people too much to think one of them could lose vision.
Also agree about the long hair. She needs to tie it up. It could be fatal if caught in rotating machinery.
Looking at the comments, I agree Lizzie needs to wear safety glasses to protect her eyes as do all of you. Lizzie tie your hair up and put all of it into a cap when work around machinery including welding equipment. Look at pictures of women in the factories during WWII You will see the hair up and covered.
Yeah, hair gets in the way. Had a girl get her hair hung up while doing some rappelling training. Not fun.
Better yet, look at pictures of women who got their hair caught in rotating machinery. It WILL scalp you!
Title scared me to death!! I'm sure I'm not the only one. And I love how half of sand hollow drops out of the underside as you take bits off!
Im so glad I came across your channel Matt. I have been pent up in the house with a bad Total Knee Replacement for 4 weeks now. I'm only getting a couple of hours of sleep every night because of the pain and discomfort and having your adventures to watch has been the light in my darkness. I have now watched so many new and old episodes.Thank you to you and your family and workers for the hard work you do and for sharing your time with us. It keeps me in good spirits in this difficult time. Can't wait for the new episodes !!
It's two years down the road. Hope you and your knee have made a full recovery. Darn knees can be so painful. Watched my Mom suffer from two knee replacements. Doc said it's one of the most painful and long recoveries you can have. Anyway, hope you are well.
I love when girls work in the shop and aren’t afraid of machinery and dirty hands. Maybe she is born with it or maybe it’s valvoline
"This doesn't need to be removable, so we are going to weld it in" - Bets on there being a future episode where the team figure out why that needed to be removable, and have to cut it out - ROFLMAO
Love your videos! I just want to mention one really important thing. Safety! It is not a joke once you have had a preventable accident and have a permanent disability. Keep hair and cuffs secured away from anything that moves. When you are grinding or welding, please use eye protection. I love the "safety squint", but it won't stop a darn thing. I really hope you keep your vision protected so you can continue to make more awesome videos for years to come.
I really enjoy the channel. The lack of PPE makes me cringe though. When you have an employee lose an eye, finger, or foot, your going to be sued into the ground.
I'm watching this, while in my shop , and my wife comes in and says..."who are you yelling at about safety glasses?"
I'm sick of commenting on the lack of safety awareness, its going to bite him big time one day, welding, wire rope whiplash, goggles, rotating machinery. Matt can't deny it, its all on his vids. We love his casual attitude to getting the job done but, come on!
Sounds like y’all are BITCHING harrrddd. This isn’t your shop and it’s most definitely not your business! You have no idea what the ins and outs are in his shop and it sounds like none of you guys get anything done from what I’m reading.
Mat a good role model never seems to get mad, lets his helpers figure things out, teaches, jokes around, has fun, makes mistakes, and breaks for lunch.
The couple times he's gotten barely frustrated he's felt bad and apologized. Seriously great guy.
Boy you guys bring me back to my younger days like in my teens... because my boyfriend always worked on his car with a new motor and so on ...then he moved to a Van well he restored a Coca-Cola Van and redid the inside really nice .... remembering the good old days!!!❤ thanks for the Video!!! Just to let you know we Broke up lol...but married a great man and been together for almost 40 years now!!!!❤❤❤
Rudy missed the day after his 21st birthday? I can't imagine why!
thats exactly what i came here to comment! haha!
They are all LDS so that is unlikely.
@@yurikozhokin8348 what's LDS?
Funny thing, most places you break loose when you turn 18- the US is the outlier on this... (poor Rudy could have partied hearty three years earlier anywhere else...)

“My whole life is cutting out unnecessary work” that’s an awesome moto, been living by that one for a while now.
I'm an engineer and I always wonder what an amazing engineer Matt would do. He's got a level of intuition about mechanical stress that a lot of professional engineers don't.
🤣🤣🤣 The Maybelline joke was hilarious!
it deserves to live on, it has been the backbone of your business, the image of success
Second that. The Banana has to live on!
@@urs7288 just refresh interior
4.0 rebuild add performance goodies . Improve suspension
Done ..
Rudy - great that you kept the name Gracie. From day one of watching this channel and knowing that you name all your vehicles, has made this channel more appealing.
All my vehicles are named. When I go register my vehicles, the lady who hands me my envelopes writes the name of my vehicles on the envelope.
These people are so damned young...Rudy having his 21st birthday? I married my 19 yo wife when I was 21, we spent 40 years together. I find it hard to believe I was ever that young.
@Steven
Hard to believe aging happens in the blink of an eye. At 21 I had a 3yr old and an ex-husband. The kid turned 55 this year. The ex is now on marriage number 4 😂
Tim you can thank Instagram and fakebook for how these girls act now days lol
@Tim Rock-It Saunders I think the kids I know have the same level of maturity that I did when I was 18. No different. With age comes wisdom and maturity. Oh and grey hair 😂
@@christiandruan and no parental control!
@@jcrefasi1 Yeah,You don't feel old though....until you see yourself in the mirror.
Hey Matt! About your shop safety:
My dad always told me "When you're dumb, you gotta be tough".
I gotta grandson who's going to grow up real tough🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe she’s Valveline! Lizzy is learning some great skills because Matt see’s her potential. She’s not afraid to get her hand dirty. I noticed that Matt is very humble and allows everyone around him to shine as he looks for moments to help them be recognized.
This is going to be my FAVORITE series. I used to own an XJ. I miss it everyday. All of this modern tech and self driving takes the fun out of it. I still own a pretty raw/ analog sports car, but my daily is just to modern for me.
my modern car is a 1976 El Camino lol, I hate new cars. They always argue with you about what you want to do.
