Many people may disagree with you Matt but facts are facts. Over time, lots of new technology comes to play. Thing is that many do not understand the rules never change. I give you a lot of credit for the challenge of making it your way and yet still the same in application. You are not afraid of challenges and show real courage to stand up for these convictions. So it fails... not the end of the world because a new day and new idea will come to you. I am truly a old school mechanic and do understand this drawing your portraying.

Matt your "vision" is becoming real now. Wondering if any of your kids would consider learning/studying a Computer Aided Design Program and do all your/their future programs on a computer. It would be a great tool to make your project a reality and to modify ideas with a lot of "what if" something is changed here or there. Also, a lot of the weights, dimensions and forms of the parts can be altered as you change the plan as the plan goes into production. Many ideas from previous projects are archived and can be reused in a new project. Something to consider especially for the younger generation. We usually don't continue doing things the way our grandparents did but we incorporate new technologies, materials, and designs as we go along.

Adding in movie, music and show references completes why it's such a good channel overall. Matt and crew. Thanks for sharing your visions, your work and everything else with us, your audience.

Matt, before you start a big job like this where you need so many holes drilled into the frame then you should pickup a good magnetic drill. I used a Milwaukee for years. Just have to be careful not to pull the power cord that powers the magnet so it doesn’t fall off and land on your foot. It’s better for you and the drill bits. I tie a knot in the power cord so it can’t fall off and you can change one wall plug to a twist lock plug and receptacle so that end stays in. 🍦🏝️

Thanks... Love following this build!

Thanks for taking the time to explain the suspension, Matt. I was really struggling to understand how an off-road vehicle with a rollable back and leaf springs would cope when it needed to flex. The answer is, it'll lift a wheel or two. I'm guessing that the roll-back 6x6 spud truck won't be going all the same kinds of places that you take the banana, the morrvair and the wrecker.

I feel sorry for your Milwaukee drill. You need a small MAG drill
