"Deja Blue" is the perfect name in my humble opinion. The name pays homage to the Banana in a way that if you know, you know and is cool.

Just make it work. And sometimes all you have is a torch and hangers to work with. Just make it work.

Deja Blue was spot on. Welder description was spot on. Our maintenance crew at the sawmill I was at from 1994 to 2020 went through so many guys. The rare certified welder that would actually start to work for our wage that was beneath them didn't last long. Once they figured out you couldn't bring the entire plant in the shop to the bench they quit. Welding parts that broke in below zero temperatures at break time was even less appealing. We had a couple guys that might have been certified but never talked about it. Lincoln made a great aluminum rod for stick welding and it was great on "clean aluminum".

Gotta go with Déjà Blue! The fact that ya'll are basically building the Banana all over again, and Robby gets to paint it again, but this time blue; it just fits. Plus, Dory the Explory is cool, but it would be better if you guys were building him a Ford Explorer and gave it some combo of pink and purple with the blue and yellow (like blue and yellow exterior with a pink and purple interior).

Thanks to all of you at Matt's Off Road Recovery. Your humor and comradery are helping me get through some tough times. As for the name, both. Why? To Dory, everything is new, though she has lived it before, thus the "Deja Vu." She always has a great attitude and is never afraid to go "exploring" her world and help those in need. Cheers.

@AlWorth9738 Cool, don't come across many other people that program PLCs!

Matt - Cut a square hole for a window in a 1/4" thick plate steel door and weld in a 1/4" thick wire reinforced glass window sealing it water tight without having to go back with sealant while leaving the glass clear. Farmer who taught me to weld could do it using a gas torch but sadly he passed before he could show me how he pulled it off. He did a lot of things the "School Book" welders with high certifications would tell you they learned in school were totally impossible. I say that sometimes your held back when they teach you things are impossible when it might be better stated that we haven't figured that one out yet. Many things that Farmers figured out unfortunately haven't been documented and included in the textbooks. Best!

I absolutely love the collabs between all the channels I watch. Robby Layton, MORR, Fab Rats, Chad's Fab, TrailMater etc..

Because I haven’t specifically called him out yet - Jake’s teamwork and perpetual optimism and good attitude is an excellent model for men and masculinity. We can’t all be the Matt, in every aspect of our lives, the leaders, and Jake is exactly the kind of follower I try and strive to be when it’s my turn to follow, at work, with my partner, wherever. Jake sets a quality standard and it’s excellent to see in him a broader range of the expression of masculinity that we’re not regularly shown in traditional media. Because that guy’s tougher than I’ll ever be, but handles himself with grace and positivity.

Still love your recoveries. Shop stuff is pretty good too. I hope you all have a great new year. I liked Blueberry too, staying with the fruit theme. Except the wrecker, kinda reminds me of a giant dinasour egg.

I never knew or even thought about why we call it a dash board. Thanks for the learning experience.

I really like The Blueberry, keeping it all fruit themed

It should be called the Bluenana

It's cool to see the camera crew getting involved as well. Learning how to set up and use a plasma cutter seems like a very useful skill too have in your back pocket

I just have to say that, that was the most inclusive, welcome and unexpected holiday greeting, in my long life. Thank you everyone that we both know and love and thank you for those that we don't get to see, but also are part of this community.

Deja-Blue gets my vote. If it was a Ford explorer then Dori the Explori would be best. If it belonged to Matt, Blueberry would work. Wishing th MORR team a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Robby will love this Banana clone and Matt will love getting the Bombi back. Good video and Merry Christmas!

Love your engine building Matt. I’ve rebuilt plenty of engines with a lot more run time on them than those Corvair engines and haven’t measured the cylinder bore at all. They all run great. What you have done is more than adequate for the job at hand.

Color: Yellow vs Deja Bleu Fruit: Banana vs "Blue Java" Banana - greenish blue hue, vanilla fragrance, best color when unripened as ripened ones will turn yellow. Extension of the banana family. Other Blue fruit names: Sloe Plums, Blue Marble tree fruit, Damson plums, Brazilian Jenipapos ("Robipapa"), Kastoree - blue mangoes [bluangos]. Great to see Kaulin welding, fabricating and comfortably working is a discombobulated manner.

Wow this is tough! As much as I enjoy the incredibly appealing situation of a name that will make Robby annoyed every time he has to use it, I still can't get away from how incredibly awesome and fitting DejaBlue is!!

Déjà Blue hands down. And make sure to put really high end parts and accessories on it to really show him how upset you are!

It is really great to see how much more fun Matt and everyone else is having on the channel now vs when he first started. So hope each of you have a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for the countless hours of videos.

I love seeing another XJ build. I'm a little biased, because I have a 97 Xj and the first time I came across Matt's channel was in the very first few videos of him doing recoveries in the "banana" as I was searching for Jeep Xj Videos. I was instantly hooked and been a fan ever since. And to think my 11 year old son and I sent him and Tom two custom signs and they actually hung them in the shop. One on the door "Caution Matt it's Hot!!!" And "Tom Tom's AMAZING Miss Sally.....Matt secretly loves it" above Tom's drill press and milkshake machine...😂

The A-Team is back at it building a copy of the Banana. While Matt is rebuilding an engine for his Corvair! But they are all cutting and welding on Dory! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of the members of Matts Off Road Recovery families!

Merry Christmas MORR crew.

Always enjoy the collaboration between you guys. It’s awesome to see people supporting people.

I hope everyone of the MORR crew had a great Christmas. I have to go with Deja Blue 🔵 for the name because it's going to be a copy of the Banana 🍌. I just learned something new that I didn't know about why it's called a dashboard, thanks Matt. I'm looking forward to another new year of awesome videos with great builds and recoveries. I can't wait to see what you do with the school bus.

"Blue Java" Blue bananas, also known as blue Java bananas or ice cream bananas, are a unique variety of banana that have a distinct blue-green color when unripe and turn pale yellow when ripe.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the MORR family!!! I think Deja Blue is the best name for it. Colin is doing great, Katelynn is learning.

it's just so good to see the builds epsiodes, just love the crafts and handson mentality. Happy hollidays, greetings from the Netherlands. Oh and my vote is on deja blue. And please share some videos on the corvairs

May I offer: Black and Blu-iser. But my vote is for Deja Blue! It perfectly honors the Banana and Robby simultaneously.

DORRY THE EXPLORRY is definitely something Robby would say as well as MAN-DOR-RE-EN. On the inside roof or dash put a MORR’s yellow splash and have the MORR crew sign their names!

Deja Blu is the name to go with since you are building a clone of the Banana. It feels like we've been here already. Deja Blu for the win! ❤

That is a great way to measure the bore! May not be the most accurate but if it is good enough, than it is good enough.

Matt, back in 1960, until '67, my dad was a Corvair specialist for a Cen Cal Chevy dealer. In 1960, he was crew chief for a sports car racer named Chuck Cornett. He built a Corvair engine that they ran in a Cooper chassis in Class D sports, and dominated for several years until the Cooper chassis was banned. I don't recall many specifics, but I remember they kept burning valves on the "long end" of the heads, and dad used plastic aluminum to fab extra carb bbsses, making 4 carb heads before the factory did. He used 409 rod bolts, and it would rev to 9500 RPM. Later, they used a Crown kit to put a 327 mid engine in a " 65 Corvair and ran class A sports. He had a Greenbriar van that would pull the Grapevine at 90+ mph.

Love your show! Having had Corvairs in high school (1970-1974) and having recently recovered my first one from the local salvage yard, I love to watch your Corvair adventures!

Deja blue works real well. Oh Merry Christmas to all of you🎉

I'd like to see you "bob" (shorten) the back end so the rear doesn't scrape as you come down off of large obstacles, like the banana does. That would be easy to do on the rolled tangerine.
