Looks great Rudy!! Once 1/2 dun is ALL DUN let me know if you need it painted :)

Rudy I've been watching you and your fabrication skills for along time and as a welder/ fabricator myself for over 38+ yrs, your channel will do GREAT!!! Keep at it my friend! Your a good man! Troy

I spent 35 years working with tubing and I am really impressed with Rudy’s bending skills.

Rudy, you might want to add B and C pillar supports for your cage, as well as a side to side triangulated cross brace so it doesn't just fold over like a taco if it rolls. When I built my XJ cage, I did the upper halo, the A pillar support through the fenders like you did, then B and C pillar supports through the cab to the floor and then tied to the frame. I also added a side to side cross brace to the two C pillar tubes coming through the cab. I plan on adding one to the B pillar as well.

Congrats Rudy! The fab part of Matt’s, Pauls, Chads, Robbie’s, channel is my favorite. I’m looking forward to your endeavors!

Happy to see Rudy striking out on his own. As the saying goes.."nothing risked, nothing gained"

One of my favorite parts of watching Matt’s off-road Recovery is the fabrication and custom work you guys do I’m looking forward to more of your videos!

Congratulations Rudy on your new venture. So, I'm curious, and I'm sure many are, about the shop and how this came about. Please do a video on the shop and where this all started and so on. I'm excited to see how this goes. By the way, the shops big and it echoes a bit in the videos. Might need to invest in a lapel mic.

Rudy, you are one of my favorite characters on matts off road recovery, with the age that you are, your fabrication skills are phenomenal, can't wait to see what you do on the channel. Feedback wise, please get a wireless mic to mount on your shirt, the audio will be a thousand times better.

My fiance Tim and I would love to see a shop tour video and story time about where you are, your equipment, etc. We've been following you from MORR. Can't wait to see more of your videos!

Um, Rudy… music choice? Congratulations! Best of luck on your new venture! (What I love is you have regular tools just like me… and the same number of people helping you… maybe my truck needs an upgrade…) I can’t wait to see the Rudycon full done!

Rudy I can't tell you how much I enjoy your Channel and how much I miss you on Matt's off-road recovery and that you and Janelle make a awesome team you've always been an enjoyable watch. THE roll cage was an awesome build and shows your creative skills and fabricating. So I can see that you wanted to go out and do your own thing and not be I won't say control but you wanted to do your own thing which I enjoy good luck I'll always be there watching

Here. Congratulations Rudy. Can’t wait to see where we go! We? Yes, because guys like you, Matt, Paul… inspire the rest of us to build stuff in our home garage.

Rudys adventure and designs and Matt’s off road recovery is the future for you and your kids, and your generation. Best way to expand great to see you whent solo Rudy Congratulations 🎊🎈🍾

Nicely done, Rudy, nicely done.

what a go Rudy, by this time next year you will have an old man in a chair helping, an amazing mechanic friend stopping by and a hot chic as a regular!!! Oh ya dont forget the dog running around on your adventures. Mark my works you will have 250k subs by this time next easy peezie.

I was wondering where you had gotten off to. This is a great idea/plan. Your shop looks great as well. Looking forward to tagging along on all of your adventures!

I mentioned this before that he would do well having his own fabrication shop with his mad skills. Having his own channel and doing his thing is a huge step. Before you know it, he'll have his own camera guy.. Grats Rudy!!

Rudy!!!!!! I found your channel! Yay! Tell your dad to link it in his videos descriptions! But great so far can’t wait to see more!! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🍻

I am very impressed with the new roll cage. It turned out very nice. Good luck on your channel Rudy

Everything was great, except the sound. That thing is a Beast. Can’t wait to see the adventures! Thanks Rudy.

Can’t wait to see what you end up doing with this channel Rudy, happy to be one of your first subscribers 😁 good luck & god bless homie

Love the way you are all supporting each other's channels and growing so fast! I look forward to Sundays SO much more these days. Rudy......fix the right-hand drop on that thing! :)

I love your dads channel but this is very cool seeing all the behind the “scenes” type of stuff as well, also you got a big bonus jump start on your channel from all Matt’s off road recovery fans it’s awesome to see 😎🇨🇦

Very well designed, engineered and constructed Rudy. It looks great too!

That is THE nicest looking exo cage I have seen on an XJ. Awesome job Rudy. I would love to see how you did the uprights in the rear. Watching the roof video now. 👍🏻

Nice work Rudy well done.

How exciting! Been missing you on your Dad’s channel. Good luck with your channel. I’ll be watching!!

Really very happy to see you starting up your own channel Rudy. I have really wanted to see this happen for sometime now. Really looking forward to watching your fabrications and other projects along with your off road adventures.

The off road recovery is great, but I live for the fabrication. I've seen you weld and you are good. I will watch every video you upload. Good Luck with your channel.

2:17 Future handy tool - Could be as simple as a U-Bolt (muffler clamp) clamped to the end of round tubing. Level the flat. It's a good reference as to keeping the tube from spiraling while rolling it. 6:07 Put a hole in down tube that lines up inside the cross tube. Also have a hole at the bottom of the down tube. For water to escape. I am impressed with your fabrication & design skills.

Congratulations on your channel! Wishing you success and just have fun! My husband and I love your dad’s channel and have so enjoyed you and Lizzie. We know you will do well!!

Wow, I found out that Rudy was going to get his own channel about 30 minutes ago……..and there is already 11,000 subscribers onboard. I’m seeing great things in this boys future. Go Rudycon!

I’ve been noticing things in the background over the last few months and especially during Rudy doing/welding that gate. I figured there was “expansion” in the air. Neat looking shop Rudy and congratulations. Oh, doesn’t look like you’ll have to worry about punching a hole in the ceiling with vehicles on the lift👍

We love Matt's recovery here in Dominican Republic and I think you will do an excellent 👍 program, just be consistent 🇩🇴

Super cool roll cage Rudy. You have a real talent for designing and fabricating stuff. I still watch your Dad`s videos and i love yours too although i miss you in your dad`s. You have moved on and i am sure great things are in store. Love the adventures too. Best wishes from the UK.

I hope this takes off for you, I really enjoy the fabrication and modifications you have been doing to half-done.

Congrats Rudy! Been watching you for years! Looking forward to your channel!

I have enjoyed watching you build for your Dad now for yourself that is great 👍

Changes are always around the corner. Can't stop progress! Matt's off road recovery won't be the same without you Rudy..... All the best for you and your channel, You're very tallented guy.

I am super stoked to see what you do with this channel. Ny favorite parts of Matt's Off-Road Recovery fabrication parts always involved you doing your magic. You're quite gifted and I love watching it, and I am so looking forward to this new channel very much!

Congrats Rudy, on taking the next step and starting your own channel!! You have amazing skills when it come to metal fabrication and the ability to bring your ideas to life! Can’t wait to see what the future has in store for your channel.

Congratulations on the new channel Rudy... And dam that's some good fabrication work done there Rudy!!!..🙂🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲

Great start Rudy ! Looking forward to many more...

Not cheesy, efficient. Great videos and I can’t wait to see more of your process.

Congrats on your channel Rudy. I really enjoyed the fab you did on Matt’s channel and look forward to your creativity on your own projects. The Rudicon already looks great with the cage and really cool roof. Nice work man.

I came as soon as I heard you say you had your own channel. Don't tell your dad but I paused his video to come find yours lol. I look forward to seeing your builds. That's one of my favorite things on the channel. Congratulations on branching out. When I saw your exoskeleton the other day I was kinda upset there wasn't a video on MORR of it. This was a great surprise. I bet your dad's proud

Good job on the roll cage Rudy! Looking forward to see your creative designs & adventures! Enjoyed seeing your growth on your dad's channel, Matt's Offroad Recovery. Glad you will still be on his channel too. You all make a great team.

I feel like people are going to learn a lot from you! I think this channel is going to be WAY bigger than you imagined

Your going to have a great channel, the skills and energy your bring makes it fun to watch.

WOW, 90K+ subs and your channel is 2 weeks old! fastest silver KZfaq badge in history. Congrats Rudy!

You ABSOLUTELY shoud template every tube and make a feew of these to sell! Best exocage/rack I have seen on an XJ so far! I would probably buy one for our project.

Congrats on the new channel, Rudy. Looking forward to seeing it blossom and grow!

Rudy, your channel is a great development, and I very much look forward to you designing and making plenty of cool stuff.

Guest appearances from Ed would be a neat feature! Thank you for sharing the great content.

A beautiful "out of the box" roll cage Rudy.

Congrats Rudy on the new adventure! Love the 'outside' rollcage. Haven't seen that before. Sure saves both headroom and doesn't inhibit your access or egress... Looking forward to joining you on your escapades even though only voyeuristically!

Awesome even with the low volume. You are very talented fabricator!

Rudy, well done video. You've grown into such a capable young man since you first appeared in your father's videos - I hope he is justifiably proud of you! I like that you're designing your vehicle from a functional standpoint - it is certainly turning into a rather unique creation! Really nice job fabricating your roll cage.

We will look back years from now and watch some best of RAD and see how this wonderful young man grew into his own and be greatful to follow the journey. We look forward to your Adventure Rudy. 👍👍✌

Again Congratulations on your channel, looking forward to the adventures as well as the designs that you come up with. Glad to be on the ground floor of what is going to be an epic channel!!!

Here we are Rudy. Now entertain us 😂. I'm sure this channel will do great things.

Great job Rudy ! Nice looking cage . Going diagonal with the tabs was a great idea! Looking forward to following your adventures .

Great job Rudy. Now all you need is one of them fancy camera people to do all the recording for you. Congratulations on your new channel.

Awesome fabrication work Rudy! I love how that roof rack turned out on the Rudicon. Looking forward to future episodes to see what you build next

We gotcha bud! As much as I do love watching the banana tear stuff out of nasty situations, I've always been a fan of what you're doing with your rig, on the fun and adventure side and find it inspiring for what I want to do and be doing with my XJ.

Looks good Rudy. So happy for you and your own channel

Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Your channel is going to be great. Nice work on 1/2 Dun. ✌️🙏☘️

Congratulations to you on stepping out on your own. looking forward to watching your promising future with builds and everything else you do

Bravo Rudy-I like the vibe of your channel: nice music selections, appropriate time lapses, and you are a natural in front of the camera which is challenging when solo. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻

Great job!!!! That is what makes a Jeep, an exo-cage! Very clean look too. I've seen a few nasty hatchet jobs. Again, great work.

I got a glimpse of that roll cage in another one of your guys videos and thought it would be interesting to see how you put it together. So far so good Rudi. We'll keep watching your chanel.

Will be looking forward to watching many more videos Rudy. As a retired steel fabricator myself I was really impressed with the gates you made, so I am happy to be here on day one of your new channel. Good Wishes my friend and God Bless !

That cage came out really good! Its always tough to have a good sleek exo cage on jeeps. Keep up the good work 🤟

Cool concept Rudy, with the exterior design. Great job.

I really enjoy watching all your fab work. Reminds me of my dad, he was always doing something like this; making his own topper for an El Camino or splicing two Lincolns together into a "Ranchero" look. The Rudicon is looking good. Keep up the work and channel!

Glad to see all the great stuff you come up with on this channel. I'm still interested in buying that sweet rear bumper you designed and built lol.

Looking forward to seeing great things on this channel.

Beautiful shop, Rudy...looking forward to your adventures

You are the greatest welder I have ever seen! Greetings from Chile!

Looks great Rudy! Congrats on your starting a channel for yourself! Your a talented guy, as proven on your dad's channel. You've got my support. Subscribed!

good luck on the channel Rudy, looking forward to more adventures

105K subs in a week??? WOW!!!!! that's AWESOME!!! Congrats!!!!

You really do great work Rudy. Glad you have your own channel, but I do miss seeing you more on MOOR! Hope you plan to stay busy on that channel as well. A man's gotta do his thing though...so I totally understand. You have some talent and I appreciate you sharing that talent with the rest of us. God speed.

Your cage looks great. Consider tying the roof bar into a harness bar behind the front seats. Maybe add a piece of 2x4 from your frame rail to the slider as a harness bar mount through the floor. Would give you a secure place to attach some harnesses as well as shoring up the middle of the roof bars. I love the look though. Very nice.

That roll cage looks sweet you have had a great start in fab work so I can safely say that you will go far it may not stay on the same path but the not knowing is what makes life interesting

I like that roll cage! You did an excellent job Rudy!

Rudy I am looking forward to seeing the videos on your new channel. You are a natural in my opinion when it comes to KZfaq. I like the roll cage it will definitely be added safety to have

This is epic. I am capable of building things myself, but it is quite humbling and inspiring to watch someone at your level fabricate. "I don't have the ideal tool, but I do have this angle grinder with a flap disc" was highly relatable.

I really like the way you designed that. Love how tight to roof line it is.

Congrats on going out on your own. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for fabrications and also seeing the Rudicon completed doing some rescues. You have always been a favorite at Matts Offroad Recovery. I wish you the best.

Great for you to have your own channel. Good luck and God bless.

Great to see more of your welding projects.. exocages are pretty cool so you’re not banging heads on the usual roll cages on the inside …

Rudicon, still has that gangster lean. Looking good.

DUDE. Watching your video where you were testing the Rudicon. You stopped at Mavericks which we don't have here. But in the background we seen a FRICKEN Sinclair with the dinosaur. MAN, I haven't seen one of them since I was a kid. You made my day!!!!

Wow Rudy….What you have created with this video was amazing. I have watched all of Matt’s Off Road. What you did was really well done. The “one man band” is a great perspective. I don’t mean that like you broke up the Beetles, but as nice break off from the recovery side of things. If Matt’s Off Road had a son it would be this, I mean it is this. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!!!

Man I wish I had known about this a while ago. I think it's cool that you got your own channel and you're going to do very well obviously! Can't wait to see future videos

For those worried about a B/C pillar, he has additional vertical supports running inside the body in the back and the cage is bolted to that

I am there for you Rudy. showing how you get your angles and bends will make interesting content.

Looks Great Rudy Excellent job
