I've lived my entire life in the USA. I've been to New York city for just one afternoon. I've never been to Vegas, Los Angeles or California, or Florida. And have spent just a few days in a few of our big, big cities. The USA is a big place. It's a mistake to think of the USA being just the big cities of New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. That's the TV America. It's just one slice of it. The bigger portion is out here.

Matt and Matt's crew have done a great job rebuilding the Banana. It performed flawlessly!!!!!!!

Pretty awesome to see all the KZreadrs in one video, just missin Casey Ladelle and his Grand Cherokee!

This is extra impressive because Matt made a recovery vehicle, not a rock crawler. We can only try to imagine what he would build if he wanted a dedicated rocker. --- Thanks for upload. ---

Those tow rigs in the vid are so RAD!!!!. Also have mad respect for Rudy's XJ. It's a real world vehicle, kinda like what the majority of us XJ owners have

I’ve learned from many years in the woods that XJs, even in stock form, are basically unstoppable. Even if they can’t drive straight through, there’s always a XJ line that works.

You really couldn't pick a better crew to 4x4 with than the banana, and not one, but TWO tow trucks! Nice riding, folks

I spent the last week watching all the banana build videos, great series of videos. The best part about the banana is the straight six engine, the straight six is a great workhorse.

In the 1970's I was an engine rebuilder worked on mostly Volkswagen engines. In the 1990's I had my own business repairing Computers going house to house with my little blue Chevy Van. In Reno before leaving for the Philippines I owned a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I was a Photographer and videographer in the Air Force 20 years, and Telephone installer and repairman right out of high school. Also in the 1990's I was a computer programmer and computer operator on the big IBM Main Frame computers. So I have been sort of a jack of all trades. And I am now 75 but look, act and feel like a 40 year old as you see in my KZread photo.
