Hey buddy? I'm good. Thank you. Thanks for

14
00:00:41,839 --> 00:00:43,745
asking. You're welcome. I'm... I like asking. I

15
00:00:43,745 --> 00:00:45,744
like to know. Yeah. I'm happy. So it

16
00:00:45,744 --> 00:00:47,253
has nothing to do with. I just have

17
00:00:47,253 --> 00:00:49,158
a script memorized. Yeah. Or is that you

18
00:00:49,158 --> 00:00:50,666
care. Or that I carry either. So, yeah.

19
00:00:53,459 --> 00:00:55,124
Man. We got a fun episode for everybody

20
00:00:55,124 --> 00:00:57,369
today. We just got done interviewing

21
00:00:57,899 --> 00:00:58,399
cult

22
00:00:58,772 --> 00:01:00,929
from c builds it. And so we had

23
00:01:00,929 --> 00:01:02,360
a lot of fun talking about a lot

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,664
of different topics actually. Went really long. So

25
00:01:04,664 --> 00:01:06,810
we're gonna keep the intro pretty short and

26
00:01:06,810 --> 00:01:07,286
sweet today.

27
00:01:07,938 --> 00:01:10,167
I think that's a good idea. And so

28
00:01:10,167 --> 00:01:10,645
with that,

29
00:01:11,441 --> 00:01:13,272
we'll take a quick break. It's just k.

30
00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:15,182

Throttle control. That's right. Thank you. And that

45
00:01:46,689 --> 00:01:48,609
is we've had a few listeners reaching out.

46
00:01:48,863 --> 00:01:51,004
Cool asking about those. Yeah. They sound like,

47
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,827
phenomenal thing. I can't wait to put 1

48
00:01:52,827 --> 00:01:54,730
in the tacoma. Yeah. So we need to

49
00:01:54,730 --> 00:01:56,450
get to AU1 for the Tacoma

50
00:01:57,287 --> 00:01:58,664
I need to get 1 on the Bro

51
00:01:59,121 --> 00:02:01,594
and play around more with it. But we

52
00:02:01,594 --> 00:02:03,907
have a couple on some other company vehicles

53
00:02:03,907 --> 00:02:05,981
that have been awesome to see the features

54
00:02:05,981 --> 00:02:06,435
and

55
00:02:06,792 --> 00:02:08,542
play around with. So if you guys do

56
00:02:08,542 --> 00:02:10,849
have questions about throttle controls, please write in,

57
00:02:11,088 --> 00:02:12,940
let us know because I know that there's

58
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:15,956
a company out there that have given throttle

59
00:02:15,956 --> 00:02:18,025
control is a pretty bad rap in the

60
00:02:18,025 --> 00:02:20,196
off road industry and the offered road communities

61
00:02:20,412 --> 00:02:22,481
industry are kinda wary of throttle controllers now.

62
00:02:23,054 --> 00:02:24,888
And these ones are are pretty sweet. And

63
00:02:24,888 --> 00:02:27,042
there's a big reason why because they're not

64
00:02:27,042 --> 00:02:29,036
plugging into your Ob 2 at all. Okay.

65
00:02:29,195 --> 00:02:31,109
And they're not nice messing, and there's no

66
00:02:31,109 --> 00:02:32,625
potential to fuck up your Can bus system.

67
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:34,888
On your vehicle. Okay. So

68
00:02:35,421 --> 00:02:36,851
that's 1 of the main reasons why I

69
00:02:36,851 --> 00:02:38,361
really like ultimate 9 and what they're doing.

70
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:40,824
So right in, if you have questions, we

71
00:02:40,824 --> 00:02:42,112
can get them answered for you guys and

72
00:02:42,112 --> 00:02:44,343
give you some stuff. We are definitely working

73
00:02:44,343 --> 00:02:44,843
on

74
00:02:45,299 --> 00:02:47,450
setting up the infrastructure, and I'll let everybody

75
00:02:47,450 --> 00:02:49,772
know once those are live. And ready to

76
00:02:49,772 --> 00:02:51,438
go on the website. We can get you

77
00:02:51,438 --> 00:02:53,739
1 manually input though if you're interested. So...

78
00:02:54,057 --> 00:02:55,588
Cool. There's those,

79
00:02:56,533 --> 00:02:57,570
we got a bunch of stuff going on.

80
00:02:57,969 --> 00:02:59,883
We're always super active trying to find ways

81
00:02:59,883 --> 00:03:02,674
to, connect you guys with different fun brands

82
00:03:02,674 --> 00:03:05,066
out there. And this episode is is another

83
00:03:05,066 --> 00:03:07,309
way to do that. So, with our partnership

84
00:03:07,309 --> 00:03:09,615
with On off Road, we've been getting to

85
00:03:09,615 --> 00:03:11,523
sit down and chat with some other people

86
00:03:11,523 --> 00:03:13,034
that are involved with On off Road, it

87
00:03:13,034 --> 00:03:15,519
just seems like the the people that On

88
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:18,730
has chosen to partner up with are all

89
00:03:18,788 --> 00:03:19,585
super rad,

90
00:03:20,223 --> 00:03:22,557
really cool personalities that just loves

91
00:03:23,109 --> 00:03:26,058
cars and offered recreation? Absolutely. I'm just gonna

92
00:03:26,058 --> 00:03:27,572
go out on a limb and say Onyx

93
00:03:27,572 --> 00:03:29,667
off road does an excellent job at venting

94
00:03:29,804 --> 00:03:32,134
possible a partnership. That is true. Yeah. Yeah.

95
00:03:32,375 --> 00:03:35,014
I'm very sure. Yeah. It's and not and

96
00:03:35,174 --> 00:03:36,935
I say that specifically because that's a pad

97
00:03:36,935 --> 00:03:38,715
on our back. I was gonna say because

98
00:03:38,854 --> 00:03:40,869
that's really more of a selfish thing. Get

99
00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:41,369
right.

100
00:03:41,986 --> 00:03:43,262
Got it No, but it's a hundred percent

101
00:03:43,262 --> 00:03:45,097
true. I mean, they they do partner with

102
00:03:45,097 --> 00:03:47,411
some phenomenal people, the people that are doing

103
00:03:47,411 --> 00:03:49,808
really good things in the industry. Mh. Just

104
00:03:49,808 --> 00:03:51,474
like C is doing... I mean, he hit...

105
00:03:51,791 --> 00:03:53,616
When we started talking to the I... And

106
00:03:53,616 --> 00:03:55,379
to be bluntly honest, I mean, both you,

107
00:03:55,460 --> 00:03:57,620
and I didn't know much about C before

108
00:03:57,620 --> 00:04:00,099
we started this interview. No. Right? And just

109
00:04:00,099 --> 00:04:01,860
talking to him right at the very beginning

110
00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:03,699
of the episode where he starts talking about

111
00:04:03,699 --> 00:04:06,670
how he just loves learning and teaching and

112
00:04:06,670 --> 00:04:08,746
giving good information out there. I was like,

113
00:04:08,906 --> 00:04:11,221
yeah. This guy gets it. You know, It's

114
00:04:11,221 --> 00:04:13,216
we're we're both all on the same line

115
00:04:13,216 --> 00:04:15,305
here and you know, he's doing some really

116
00:04:15,305 --> 00:04:18,893
cool stuff. Yep. So without further ado, let's

117
00:04:18,893 --> 00:04:20,568
learn a little bit about those cool things

118
00:04:20,568 --> 00:04:22,721
that Cult is doing, and we'll take a

119
00:04:22,721 --> 00:04:24,572

Yeah. Great. Thanks. Thanks for having me out

155
00:05:46,429 --> 00:05:48,593
here. This is cool. I'm I've been excited

156
00:05:48,593 --> 00:05:50,431
to to do a podcast. You guys are

157
00:05:50,431 --> 00:05:52,428
actually my first podcast I've ever been on.

158
00:05:52,668 --> 00:05:54,665
So... Wow. Up in scary it's what we

159
00:05:54,665 --> 00:05:56,695
do. Yeah. We do. I've got a podcast

160
00:05:57,073 --> 00:05:58,348
in the air. Okay.

161
00:06:00,502 --> 00:06:02,017
That's cool, man. Yeah. Podcasts are a lot

162
00:06:02,017 --> 00:06:03,213
of fun. It's a it's a it's a

163
00:06:03,213 --> 00:06:04,032
fun medium

164
00:06:04,503 --> 00:06:05,003
where

165
00:06:05,694 --> 00:06:08,474
there's not a lot of video editing typically.

166
00:06:08,871 --> 00:06:10,460
So that's that's really why you like it.

167
00:06:10,937 --> 00:06:11,175
Yeah.

168
00:06:11,890 --> 00:06:12,843
As a Youtuber,

169
00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:15,245
and myself and you are as well for

170
00:06:15,325 --> 00:06:18,057
C builds it. And, you know how much,

171
00:06:18,912 --> 00:06:21,383
time it takes to do video editing. Prep

172
00:06:21,383 --> 00:06:24,426
and everything, and Man, I I'd... I think

173
00:06:24,585 --> 00:06:26,815
I have over 250 videos on the snail

174
00:06:26,815 --> 00:06:29,045
trail 4 by 4 Youtube channel. And then

175
00:06:29,125 --> 00:06:31,537
I found podcasting, and I'm like, this is

176
00:06:32,169 --> 00:06:34,886
so much easier. And it you still hit

177
00:06:34,886 --> 00:06:35,525
of a good audience.

178
00:06:36,164 --> 00:06:38,722
Good fun audience. Now the monetization side isn't

179
00:06:38,722 --> 00:06:41,368
as there as much, But Mh. Yeah. There's

180
00:06:41,368 --> 00:06:43,035
no audio or video that I need to

181
00:06:43,035 --> 00:06:44,623
be editing is just all audio, so it

182
00:06:44,623 --> 00:06:45,417
works out pretty well.

183
00:06:46,290 --> 00:06:47,560
Well, I think we all do it for

184
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,164
the love of it anyway more than anything.

185
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,345
Surgery true. I... I've I've I had a

186
00:06:52,345 --> 00:06:54,117
much higher paying job before

187
00:06:58,804 --> 00:07:01,680
Yeah absolutely. So, speaking of pain job, let's

188
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,317
let's wheel the wheels backwards a little bit

189
00:07:04,317 --> 00:07:05,915
here, let's talk about you.

190
00:07:06,809 --> 00:07:08,247
How about where do you grow up? What

191
00:07:08,247 --> 00:07:11,204
you... What was fine family dynamics like back

192
00:07:11,204 --> 00:07:12,562
in the day? How do you get off

193
00:07:12,562 --> 00:07:15,613
road? Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, I grew

194
00:07:15,613 --> 00:07:16,890
up... We didn't we weren't, like,

195
00:07:18,088 --> 00:07:20,004
I wouldn't say we were poor, but we

196
00:07:20,004 --> 00:07:21,281
didn't have a lot of money. I went

197
00:07:21,281 --> 00:07:23,437
to school. I grew up in Colorado, Central

198
00:07:23,517 --> 00:07:24,017
Colorado.

199
00:07:24,808 --> 00:07:25,308
And

200
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,778
I actually couldn't stand school honestly. I I

201
00:07:28,778 --> 00:07:31,661
wanted to get out, and I graduated early,

202
00:07:32,113 --> 00:07:33,384
just so that I could get out.

203
00:07:34,193 --> 00:07:36,661
And start working because I work every job

204
00:07:36,661 --> 00:07:37,558
you could imagine

205
00:07:37,934 --> 00:07:40,640
growing up from working in lumber yards to

206
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,448
doing heating and air conditioning and plumbing and

207
00:07:43,918 --> 00:07:46,066
anything that I could do to make money,

208
00:07:46,702 --> 00:07:49,169
I had... I loved off road. My dad

209
00:07:49,169 --> 00:07:50,839
was into off road and growing up. Like,

210
00:07:51,078 --> 00:07:52,453
even before I was born

211
00:07:53,163 --> 00:07:54,678
I kept this so I could remember what

212
00:07:54,678 --> 00:07:56,511
what year it was, but he was the...

213
00:07:57,229 --> 00:07:58,983
He was a race director for Rocky Mountain

214
00:07:59,142 --> 00:07:59,860
Off road racing

215
00:08:00,418 --> 00:08:02,987
Association in the seventies. 19 77. Wow. So.

216
00:08:03,467 --> 00:08:05,544
So, yeah. He was into off road. He

217
00:08:05,544 --> 00:08:06,363
did the

218
00:08:07,381 --> 00:08:08,680
ice racing even

219
00:08:09,232 --> 00:08:11,300
In fact, in fact, if you've ever looked

220
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:13,925
at the ice racing rules in Colorado, like,

221
00:08:14,004 --> 00:08:17,206
we're race in Georgetown and stuff, there's there's

222
00:08:17,206 --> 00:08:19,282
actual rules there. 1 of them says you

223
00:08:19,282 --> 00:08:20,958
are not allowed. And... Because you have 3

224
00:08:20,958 --> 00:08:23,194
different classes. You have Bare Rubber studded and

225
00:08:23,194 --> 00:08:24,630
then the cheater class where we can do

226
00:08:24,630 --> 00:08:24,950
whatever.

227
00:08:25,841 --> 00:08:28,412
And in the study class, he had ordered

228
00:08:29,187 --> 00:08:29,687
Alaskan

229
00:08:30,143 --> 00:08:30,780
snow studs,

230
00:08:31,418 --> 00:08:33,250
and that is still a rule to this

231
00:08:33,250 --> 00:08:34,937
day that you cannot run those. He didn't

232
00:08:34,937 --> 00:08:37,164
even win. He couldn't afford... There they're just

233
00:08:37,164 --> 00:08:39,153
longer studs. They're, like, 2 inches long as

234
00:08:39,153 --> 00:08:40,823
opposed to just getting a little little tire

235
00:08:40,823 --> 00:08:42,591
studs. Mh. And so he could just get

236
00:08:42,591 --> 00:08:44,266
him on the outside of his tires on

237
00:08:44,266 --> 00:08:45,382
his studded snow tires.

238
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:46,600
And

239
00:08:47,137 --> 00:08:48,891
he didn't even win that race. But but,

240
00:08:48,971 --> 00:08:50,566
yeah, I was kinda funny after that, Like,

241
00:08:51,220 --> 00:08:52,660
they they made it a rule that you

242
00:08:52,660 --> 00:08:54,500
can't run Alaskan studs. But he had to

243
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:56,179
keep the paperwork and show, like, these these

244
00:08:56,179 --> 00:08:57,940
are called studs. They fall, you know, and

245
00:08:57,940 --> 00:08:59,792
that's way racing is. Right? You're always pushing

246
00:08:59,792 --> 00:09:01,389
the limits of the rules. So you can't

247
00:09:01,389 --> 00:09:02,208
get mad

248
00:09:02,666 --> 00:09:05,539
when people... Like, you get mad internally, but

249
00:09:05,539 --> 00:09:06,896
you can't physically get mad.

250
00:09:07,949 --> 00:09:10,182
Because racing is just like any other sport,

251
00:09:10,342 --> 00:09:11,777
you know, they're always gonna push the limits.

252
00:09:12,415 --> 00:09:13,474
What it is. But.

253
00:09:14,011 --> 00:09:15,606
But, yeah. So I grew up doing that

254
00:09:15,606 --> 00:09:16,324
and had

255
00:09:16,962 --> 00:09:17,701
actually had

256
00:09:18,013 --> 00:09:20,479
got married to my wife, and we had...

257
00:09:20,797 --> 00:09:22,626
We had our first daughter really young. Actually,

258
00:09:22,706 --> 00:09:25,428
she graduated high school pregnant with our daughter.

259
00:09:25,668 --> 00:09:26,067
Mh.

260
00:09:26,785 --> 00:09:28,542
So I had... I was forced to grow

261
00:09:28,542 --> 00:09:29,042
up

262
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:30,937
pretty quite immediately. Yeah.

263
00:09:31,576 --> 00:09:33,252
And I was in into dirt biking and

264
00:09:33,252 --> 00:09:36,220
off road. I had a couple deer sponsors.

265
00:09:36,380 --> 00:09:38,854
I was actually racing in the Sr c.

266
00:09:39,492 --> 00:09:41,407
And I was pretty good. I wasn't great.

267
00:09:41,647 --> 00:09:43,736
I was, like, I would be, like, fifth

268
00:09:43,736 --> 00:09:46,708
to eighth in in the pro class. And

269
00:09:47,006 --> 00:09:48,761
I remember the guy that got first all

270
00:09:48,761 --> 00:09:50,755
the time. There was times where I turn

271
00:09:50,755 --> 00:09:53,184
around, you know, in some of those longer

272
00:09:53,243 --> 00:09:55,161
longer moto and he be behind me. And

273
00:09:55,241 --> 00:09:56,998
I'm like, man, this dude... Like, I'm I'm

274
00:09:56,998 --> 00:09:58,996
not that far from the top, and this

275
00:09:58,996 --> 00:10:00,927
dude's behind me. And I remember he went

276
00:10:01,006 --> 00:10:02,522
Pro May. This is in the area of

277
00:10:02,681 --> 00:10:03,399
Jeremy Mcgrath.

278
00:10:04,117 --> 00:10:04,617
And

279
00:10:05,074 --> 00:10:07,228
in Anaheim, I watched him get lap twice

280
00:10:07,228 --> 00:10:09,062
by Jeremy Mcgrath. And that's why do I

281
00:10:09,062 --> 00:10:09,881
had 0

282
00:10:10,355 --> 00:10:11,654
ability in this sport

283
00:10:12,835 --> 00:10:13,075
guess.

284
00:10:14,835 --> 00:10:17,075
And and with having kids, it was kinda

285
00:10:17,075 --> 00:10:19,014
like, I could only afford 1

286
00:10:19,327 --> 00:10:21,707
option. It was either, you know, off road,

287
00:10:22,262 --> 00:10:24,800
or dirt biking. And so I stepped over

288
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,235
more to off road and jeep and and

289
00:10:27,354 --> 00:10:29,184
and stuff because I knew that I could

290
00:10:29,184 --> 00:10:31,969
take my family. And Yeah. The less chance

291
00:10:31,969 --> 00:10:33,799
of me getting hurt, you know, you get

292
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:35,391
mashed up on a dirt bike and you're

293
00:10:35,391 --> 00:10:36,997
laid up. You're not working and then he

294
00:10:36,997 --> 00:10:39,702
can't feed your family. So... Yeah. Well what

295
00:10:39,702 --> 00:10:41,452
does that adage with age comes a cage?

296
00:10:42,168 --> 00:10:43,782
Right? Yeah. So

297
00:10:44,093 --> 00:10:45,684
So, yeah, I just got, you know, kind

298
00:10:45,684 --> 00:10:47,832
of stepped over completely into off road, but

299
00:10:47,832 --> 00:10:48,945
my dad was a big part of that.

300
00:10:49,105 --> 00:10:50,934
You know, he was for a while there.

301
00:10:51,093 --> 00:10:52,659
He was a mach in the air force

302
00:10:52,779 --> 00:10:54,293
he put 38 years in the air force.

303
00:10:54,453 --> 00:10:55,090
And... Wow.

304
00:10:55,728 --> 00:10:56,206
And

305
00:10:56,764 --> 00:10:59,076
so, like, he was making C tire rods

306
00:10:59,076 --> 00:11:01,402
and stuff like that before like, because off

307
00:11:01,402 --> 00:11:03,556
of... He working on airplanes. So he was

308
00:11:03,556 --> 00:11:05,470
making stuff before it was a thing. Mh.

309
00:11:05,629 --> 00:11:07,145
He's like, yeah, These are super strong, You

310
00:11:07,145 --> 00:11:09,139
know, and he'd take his old trucks and

311
00:11:09,139 --> 00:11:11,149
he'd take the leaf springs know, before they

312
00:11:11,149 --> 00:11:13,069
had lift kits, and he'd put him in

313
00:11:13,069 --> 00:11:15,709
a press and actually press every inch of

314
00:11:15,709 --> 00:11:17,549
that leaf spring in the press to get

315
00:11:17,549 --> 00:11:18,929
an arch out the least

316
00:11:19,309 --> 00:11:20,029
doesn't on lift kits.

317
00:11:21,001 --> 00:11:23,254
So, yeah. I learned learned some cool tricks

318
00:11:23,710 --> 00:11:26,499
from him, for sure. What vehicles was he

319
00:11:26,499 --> 00:11:28,821
driving back then? So he had jeep he

320
00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:30,807
did have jeep and then he had he

321
00:11:30,807 --> 00:11:32,634
had some blazers and some scouts,

322
00:11:33,508 --> 00:11:33,905
and

323
00:11:34,874 --> 00:11:36,623
Yeah. He did a lot of... He really

324
00:11:36,623 --> 00:11:38,769
liked the scout because that scout would get

325
00:11:38,769 --> 00:11:40,279
10 miles a gallon no matter what we

326
00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:41,790
did. We could be on the highway 10

327
00:11:41,790 --> 00:11:43,141
miles a ago gallon before we on this

328
00:11:43,141 --> 00:11:43,936
10 miles a gallon.

329
00:11:44,588 --> 00:11:46,179
And it was a lot more stable than

330
00:11:46,179 --> 00:11:48,566
the Jeep. But I remember he had a

331
00:11:48,646 --> 00:11:51,908
Cj 5 that he actually took... Like the

332
00:11:51,908 --> 00:11:54,629
old school air shocks. You know, like, the

333
00:11:54,629 --> 00:11:56,777
the get... The Gabriel, you know, or Gabriel,

334
00:11:57,016 --> 00:11:59,483
you everyone pronounce it. Air shocks. And he

335
00:11:59,483 --> 00:12:00,858
put them on all 4 corners

336
00:12:01,169 --> 00:12:03,244
because we'd be on side hills, and it

337
00:12:03,244 --> 00:12:05,638
would, you know, you... The Jeep feel like

338
00:12:05,638 --> 00:12:07,074
they're gonna flip all the time those old

339
00:12:07,154 --> 00:12:09,320
Jeep especially. And so he would actually put

340
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,988
an air compressor in there into would air

341
00:12:10,988 --> 00:12:13,609
down but the side like, the high side

342
00:12:13,609 --> 00:12:15,039
and then air up the low side. So

343
00:12:15,039 --> 00:12:16,389
at least you didn't feel like you were

344
00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:16,786
gonna roll.

345
00:12:17,995 --> 00:12:20,384
But, yeah. Just got... Just interesting things like

346
00:12:20,384 --> 00:12:22,056
that. Always push... You know, he's never afraid

347
00:12:22,056 --> 00:12:24,205
to turn anything apart which made me kinda

348
00:12:24,205 --> 00:12:26,687
never afraid to tear anything. Sometimes that burn

349
00:12:26,687 --> 00:12:29,494
me. I'm about, like, I'm batting 500 for

350
00:12:29,631 --> 00:12:31,165
transmission rebuild fraud matters

351
00:12:31,858 --> 00:12:32,358
but

352
00:12:32,669 --> 00:12:34,824
hey, 500 is great for baseball terms man.

353
00:12:34,984 --> 00:12:36,900
You you doing good it. Yeah.

354
00:12:37,698 --> 00:12:39,295
Yeah. No. It it was, you know, that's

355
00:12:39,295 --> 00:12:40,971
kinda what got me into it and I

356
00:12:40,971 --> 00:12:41,711
worked at

357
00:12:42,419 --> 00:12:44,956
4 old parts. You know, my dad tommy

358
00:12:44,956 --> 00:12:46,779
had to do gears and stuff, and, like,

359
00:12:46,859 --> 00:12:48,603
you know, and then I did that for

360
00:12:48,603 --> 00:12:49,529
a while and

361
00:12:49,965 --> 00:12:50,862
had my own

362
00:12:51,313 --> 00:12:53,136
off road shop for a little while in

363
00:12:53,136 --> 00:12:54,959
in South Dakota, and and

364
00:12:55,593 --> 00:12:56,885
Yeah. It did a lot of

365
00:12:57,273 --> 00:12:59,026
did a lot of... That was kind of

366
00:12:59,026 --> 00:13:00,699
my thing was the drivetrain stuff. I didn't

367
00:13:00,699 --> 00:13:02,452
really like working... I mean, I should say,

368
00:13:02,532 --> 00:13:05,093
like, axles and suspension. Those are the things

369
00:13:05,173 --> 00:13:06,918
I like. I like doing axles and suspension.

370
00:13:07,077 --> 00:13:09,243
I don't really like tearing apart motors and

371
00:13:09,299 --> 00:13:10,886
transmissions as much. I don't mind doing tea

372
00:13:10,886 --> 00:13:11,203
cases.

373
00:13:11,934 --> 00:13:13,131
There a lot of... You know, done a

374
00:13:13,131 --> 00:13:15,366
lot of transfer cases. Mh. Built

375
00:13:16,244 --> 00:13:19,038
I had a 87 4 runner that the

376
00:13:19,038 --> 00:13:20,529
back end was smashed up

377
00:13:21,045 --> 00:13:23,525
got it for 800 bucks in

378
00:13:24,055 --> 00:13:25,665
in Denver. And

379
00:13:26,195 --> 00:13:28,034
the thing road great and the rest the

380
00:13:28,034 --> 00:13:29,549
body was in good shape. But just the

381
00:13:29,549 --> 00:13:31,065
back end had a dent in it, and

382
00:13:31,065 --> 00:13:32,740
they had pulled the bolt for the topper.

383
00:13:32,899 --> 00:13:34,654
So the window didn't go up. You know,

384
00:13:34,973 --> 00:13:36,408
in those all in those all 4 run.

385
00:13:36,648 --> 00:13:38,495
There's a bolt there that keeps it puts

386
00:13:38,495 --> 00:13:39,847
a sensor to let you know if the

387
00:13:39,847 --> 00:13:41,358
tops off or not. And I was like,

388
00:13:41,437 --> 00:13:42,789
man, the Top doesn't even, you know, the

389
00:13:42,789 --> 00:13:44,459
window doesn't even roll up and. So I

390
00:13:44,459 --> 00:13:45,573
talked them down 800 bucks.

391
00:13:46,304 --> 00:13:48,784
And check it out to my house and

392
00:13:48,784 --> 00:13:50,324
and divide and built it

393
00:13:50,625 --> 00:13:53,024
outside. I had a single car garage that

394
00:13:53,024 --> 00:13:54,144
was about the size of a shed.

395
00:13:54,797 --> 00:13:56,545
They could just hold my tools basically. So

396
00:13:56,625 --> 00:13:58,532
I built the whole truck outside, but put

397
00:13:58,532 --> 00:14:00,995
did 1 tons under it. Did dual toy

398
00:14:00,995 --> 00:14:01,392
cases.

399
00:14:01,964 --> 00:14:04,111
You know, did A47 gear set in it

400
00:14:04,111 --> 00:14:07,689
and and 05:13 gears in the axles and,

401
00:14:07,848 --> 00:14:09,677
you know, 04:14 bolt and a 60 that

402
00:14:09,757 --> 00:14:11,029
I got from an old farmer for a

403
00:14:11,029 --> 00:14:12,633
couple hundred bucks. You know, he didn't know,

404
00:14:12,713 --> 00:14:14,460
you know, that back when people, you know,

405
00:14:14,936 --> 00:14:17,477
everybody now, the Internet ruins everything kinda, like,

406
00:14:17,795 --> 00:14:19,383
everybody knows what you have, You know, they

407
00:14:19,383 --> 00:14:20,733
think they know what they have in value.

408
00:14:21,463 --> 00:14:21,782
But

409
00:14:22,419 --> 00:14:23,932
yeah. Put it put the truck on some

410
00:14:23,932 --> 00:14:26,002
42 inch Ts cells and that truck did

411
00:14:26,002 --> 00:14:28,492
awesome. Like, it was... That's a model.

412
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:31,038
Yeah. Yeah. But it was geared solo. You

413
00:14:31,038 --> 00:14:32,636
know, I let the kids drive it when

414
00:14:32,636 --> 00:14:33,994
they were little and and

415
00:14:34,873 --> 00:14:36,631
I did a lot of trails with that.

416
00:14:36,791 --> 00:14:39,125
Like, a lot of what people would consider

417
00:14:39,125 --> 00:14:41,285
buggy trails with that old fore runner. Mh.

418
00:14:41,524 --> 00:14:43,045
What I learned though, the difference between a

419
00:14:43,125 --> 00:14:46,017
Jeep and a Toyota is rocks like the

420
00:14:46,017 --> 00:14:47,924
body panels at Toyota. Like, they'll just jump

421
00:14:47,924 --> 00:14:49,989
out and smash them. Like... Yep. You can't

422
00:14:49,989 --> 00:14:52,292
have a toyota to erased place the old

423
00:14:52,292 --> 00:14:53,483
ones, You know, the old ones say, for

424
00:14:53,483 --> 00:14:54,913
some reason, they just like to raise those

425
00:14:54,913 --> 00:14:57,477
things Yep. It's kinda it's kinda like you

426
00:14:57,477 --> 00:15:00,528
don't really actually have an old school Toyota

427
00:15:00,825 --> 00:15:02,898
unless all your body panels are raised up.

428
00:15:03,137 --> 00:15:05,245
So... Right. Yeah. It's a it's

429
00:15:06,256 --> 00:15:09,120
I'm I'm actually working on wrapping my 4

430
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,924
runner right now, and the the poor

431
00:15:11,762 --> 00:15:14,713
vinyl rap dude. He was like, I don't

432
00:15:14,713 --> 00:15:15,909
know what I'm gonna do with all these

433
00:15:15,909 --> 00:15:18,302
dents. He goes he goes the wraps don't

434
00:15:18,302 --> 00:15:20,137
take count the dead. Like, you... You're gonna

435
00:15:20,137 --> 00:15:21,825
see all the dents still, and it's gonna

436
00:15:21,825 --> 00:15:23,418
be... I can I can get it? I

437
00:15:23,418 --> 00:15:24,532
can get the wrap on there. And I

438
00:15:24,532 --> 00:15:26,204
was like no, that's that's good. Like, I

439
00:15:26,204 --> 00:15:28,115
want I want the dents there. Like, that

440
00:15:28,115 --> 00:15:29,721
would... It's not it's not a rock crawling.

441
00:15:29,959 --> 00:15:32,019
Unless there's all these body panels dented. And

442
00:15:32,019 --> 00:15:33,445
he he kinda went back and forth and

443
00:15:33,445 --> 00:15:34,713
was looking at... That me, like, I was

444
00:15:34,713 --> 00:15:36,059
crazy. I was like, dude just just do.

445
00:15:36,218 --> 00:15:37,584
It'll be fine I'm not gonna hold the

446
00:15:37,584 --> 00:15:40,287
thing against you. Is he charging you more

447
00:15:40,287 --> 00:15:41,957
because now there's more corners that he has

448
00:15:41,957 --> 00:15:44,263
to wrap Surprisingly, I don't think so. I

449
00:15:44,263 --> 00:15:44,763
don't

450
00:15:45,217 --> 00:15:46,544
Maybe he was just click on his feet

451
00:15:46,822 --> 00:15:47,297
1.

452
00:15:48,010 --> 00:15:48,248
But

453
00:15:48,882 --> 00:15:50,466
yeah. So it's a it's just it's like

454
00:15:50,466 --> 00:15:52,447
a rite a passage for old Toyota to

455
00:15:52,447 --> 00:15:53,740
have all those dents. So

456
00:15:54,207 --> 00:15:56,116
I I agree completely. Yet. And like I

457
00:15:56,116 --> 00:15:58,025
said, it it... It's only the first dent

458
00:15:58,025 --> 00:15:59,456
that really hurts, you know, you have no

459
00:15:59,456 --> 00:16:00,968
vehicle and you're like, and then once you

460
00:16:00,968 --> 00:16:02,974
get that dent, you're like, okay. Don't care

461
00:16:02,974 --> 00:16:05,211
anymore. Yeah. Exactly. I'm just gonna go with

462
00:16:05,211 --> 00:16:07,209
it. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. If we were just

463
00:16:07,209 --> 00:16:09,446
literally talking about that in the lobby earlier

464
00:16:09,446 --> 00:16:11,533
today, and I was saying, like, I really

465
00:16:11,533 --> 00:16:13,837
don't want to dent the truck. But if

466
00:16:13,837 --> 00:16:14,552
it happens,

467
00:16:15,267 --> 00:16:16,141
Yeah oh, well.

468
00:16:17,094 --> 00:16:17,333
Yeah.

469
00:16:17,904 --> 00:16:19,256
Yeah. Once you get it, then it's... Then

470
00:16:19,256 --> 00:16:21,085
you just... Okay. I just gotta deal with

471
00:16:21,085 --> 00:16:22,915
it now. Right. Yeah. Is that like ducks

472
00:16:22,915 --> 00:16:23,710
in the Gp world?

473
00:16:25,380 --> 00:16:28,018
I pretty much really, man. I talked to

474
00:16:28,098 --> 00:16:29,233
But, you know, what's?

475
00:16:29,766 --> 00:16:31,911
Very often. I... You know, I got I

476
00:16:31,911 --> 00:16:33,364
got cherokee and

477
00:16:33,833 --> 00:16:34,231
and

478
00:16:34,947 --> 00:16:37,414
you know, the the s 10. So and

479
00:16:37,414 --> 00:16:40,279
samurai. So when I do get Duck, actually,

480
00:16:40,438 --> 00:16:41,871
my wife got Ducks. So I did get...

481
00:16:42,110 --> 00:16:44,611
I bought a cheap a cheap jeep Jk

482
00:16:44,904 --> 00:16:46,966
from a dealership. They thought that the frame

483
00:16:46,966 --> 00:16:48,655
was rotten, and they had just had a

484
00:16:49,265 --> 00:16:50,717
another old wrangler

485
00:16:51,184 --> 00:16:53,172
that the frame actually was rotten. And they

486
00:16:53,172 --> 00:16:54,444
kinda... I I think they might have got

487
00:16:54,444 --> 00:16:56,353
lemon on it or something. And so they

488
00:16:56,353 --> 00:16:57,784
looked underneath it. It was a trade in,

489
00:16:57,864 --> 00:16:59,709
and my buddy worked at the dealership across

490
00:16:59,709 --> 00:17:01,704
the street. And, you know, our dealerships are,

491
00:17:01,783 --> 00:17:03,778
like, it's family owned and then they own

492
00:17:03,778 --> 00:17:04,518
7 different

493
00:17:04,895 --> 00:17:06,491
dealerships, but... Mh. But

494
00:17:07,224 --> 00:17:08,336
And he tells me he's like, hey, man.

495
00:17:08,495 --> 00:17:09,767
They're selling... You know, I told him if

496
00:17:09,767 --> 00:17:11,912
they ever found a jeep a cheap Jeep

497
00:17:11,991 --> 00:17:13,819
Jk a 4 or Jk, let me know.

498
00:17:13,898 --> 00:17:14,398
And

499
00:17:14,709 --> 00:17:15,108
And

500
00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:17,183
he's, like, man this thing's got a hundred

501
00:17:17,183 --> 00:17:17,423
and...

502
00:17:18,221 --> 00:17:19,259
At the time I think, a hundred and

503
00:17:19,259 --> 00:17:21,095
20000 miles on it, and they want 6

504
00:17:21,095 --> 00:17:22,691
grand for it because they looked underneath it,

505
00:17:22,771 --> 00:17:24,376
and they thought frame was rotten. And ended

506
00:17:24,376 --> 00:17:26,202
up just being the gas tank skid was

507
00:17:26,202 --> 00:17:28,027
totally approached. And it was rotten.

508
00:17:28,979 --> 00:17:29,376
But

509
00:17:29,932 --> 00:17:31,677
but the frame was fine. Like, the frame

510
00:17:31,677 --> 00:17:34,004
was totally fine. The way those gas tank

511
00:17:34,004 --> 00:17:35,519
skid are, they just hold dirt and if

512
00:17:35,519 --> 00:17:37,673
you never wash it, they're just gonna get

513
00:17:37,673 --> 00:17:38,651
ruined. So

514
00:17:39,028 --> 00:17:42,035
change that. And then, I'm curious what tech

515
00:17:42,234 --> 00:17:43,133
looked under

516
00:17:43,831 --> 00:17:46,545
the jeep, saw the gas tank skid rotten

517
00:17:46,545 --> 00:17:48,142
and was like, oh, the frame is fucked.

518
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:50,078
Like, what this

519
00:17:50,935 --> 00:17:51,390
what

520
00:17:52,065 --> 00:17:54,530
It's a sure it was probably just... I'm

521
00:17:54,530 --> 00:17:56,359
sure it's probably just a salesman more than

522
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,314
anything, but cheap.

523
00:17:58,189 --> 00:18:00,892
But yeah. I got that jeep for 6000

524
00:18:00,892 --> 00:18:02,123
bucks and

525
00:18:02,659 --> 00:18:04,252
got us, you know, just got another skid

526
00:18:04,252 --> 00:18:06,265
from a salvage yard. And then

527
00:18:06,721 --> 00:18:07,916
and then we put a little lift on

528
00:18:07,916 --> 00:18:09,668
it and some other things, but my wife

529
00:18:09,668 --> 00:18:11,517
was driving it and I come home and

530
00:18:11,517 --> 00:18:14,069
she's like, man, the the Jeep making this

531
00:18:14,069 --> 00:18:15,903
horrible rattling noise. I don't know what it

532
00:18:15,903 --> 00:18:16,143
is.

533
00:18:16,781 --> 00:18:18,376
And so I'm walking... You know, I drive

534
00:18:18,376 --> 00:18:19,572
it and I can hear it, and I

535
00:18:19,572 --> 00:18:21,262
walk... I... So I I pull over and

536
00:18:21,341 --> 00:18:22,378
I walk around the jeep,

537
00:18:23,095 --> 00:18:23,595
and

538
00:18:24,052 --> 00:18:26,842
somebody had put a duck on a key

539
00:18:26,842 --> 00:18:28,595
chain, like a hard plastic duck.

540
00:18:29,484 --> 00:18:31,787
On the on the antenna, and it was...

541
00:18:32,105 --> 00:18:33,772
And so it slowed down the antenna, and

542
00:18:33,772 --> 00:18:35,281
it was flat of the side the... And

543
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:37,843
actually scratched up and, like, though Like, left

544
00:18:37,843 --> 00:18:39,202
big old stars on the side of the

545
00:18:39,202 --> 00:18:40,480
jeep, and I was I was actually pissed.

546
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,318
I was like, man, I hate Ducks. Like,

547
00:18:42,717 --> 00:18:43,676
Just makes me mad.

548
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,709
That's funny. But, you know, like, some somebody

549
00:18:48,709 --> 00:18:50,459
was trying to be cute and ruined my

550
00:18:50,459 --> 00:18:51,595
wife's jeep. So

551
00:18:52,223 --> 00:18:54,525
Yeah. That's yeah. That's crazy. There's people I

552
00:18:54,525 --> 00:18:56,667
see that just absolutely despise them and there's

553
00:18:56,667 --> 00:18:58,333
people that, like, flo them and have them

554
00:18:58,333 --> 00:19:00,174
covered on their dash. Oh, yeah yeah it.

555
00:19:00,492 --> 00:19:02,003
I couldn't imagine getting in a wreck and

556
00:19:02,003 --> 00:19:03,195
getting a black eye from a duck.

557
00:19:05,818 --> 00:19:07,264
Or get 1 of the hard plastic stick

558
00:19:07,264 --> 00:19:08,940
ones to the face or to the temple

559
00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:10,856
or something a death by duck. What do

560
00:19:10,856 --> 00:19:13,011
those people trying glue them down. So when

561
00:19:13,011 --> 00:19:14,687
they go off road If they if they

562
00:19:14,687 --> 00:19:16,299
go off road, they don't fall all off.

563
00:19:16,460 --> 00:19:17,339
Like, I don't know.

564
00:19:17,980 --> 00:19:18,139
Yeah.

565
00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:20,460
Yeah. I don't know. It's

566
00:19:21,419 --> 00:19:21,740
you know,

567
00:19:22,460 --> 00:19:24,275
in that in that same breath, it it

568
00:19:24,473 --> 00:19:26,462
it's whatever. I think if people enjoy it,

569
00:19:26,621 --> 00:19:29,007
let them enjoy it. But for me, it's

570
00:19:29,007 --> 00:19:30,757
really not my thing, you know, I'm not

571
00:19:30,757 --> 00:19:31,257
gonna

572
00:19:31,567 --> 00:19:33,310
I'll I'll I'll give, you know, what, like,

573
00:19:33,548 --> 00:19:35,292
Onyx sent me some ducks and I handed

574
00:19:35,292 --> 00:19:36,639
them out to people and things like that.

575
00:19:36,877 --> 00:19:38,170
But but

576
00:19:39,032 --> 00:19:41,413
Yes. It's definitely not really my my cup

577
00:19:41,413 --> 00:19:43,555
of tea. It's more of a... Like, if

578
00:19:43,555 --> 00:19:45,539
you go to the mall, you want ducks.

579
00:19:46,349 --> 00:19:48,342
Yeah. I don't go to the mall. So.

580
00:19:49,220 --> 00:19:51,373
Well, it's also... I mean, like it or

581
00:19:51,373 --> 00:19:54,244
not, the point that I think you've made

582
00:19:54,244 --> 00:19:56,734
or we're getting to was that it ends

583
00:19:56,734 --> 00:19:58,174
up creating a community,

584
00:19:58,734 --> 00:20:01,054
and it's almost having Ducks has created 2

585
00:20:01,054 --> 00:20:02,894
communities, people that love the ducks People I

586
00:20:02,894 --> 00:20:04,430
hate the ducks. So people that hate the

587
00:20:04,509 --> 00:20:05,950
Ducks can send each other all the memes

588
00:20:05,950 --> 00:20:08,029
of people like, ripping the Ducks heads off

589
00:20:08,029 --> 00:20:09,789
and throw them across the parking lots and

590
00:20:09,789 --> 00:20:11,962
stuff. So we can enjoyment from Right? While

591
00:20:11,962 --> 00:20:13,794
the other community gets enjoyment of giving people

592
00:20:13,794 --> 00:20:15,387
ducks and getting ducks and we're just like,

593
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:17,480
yeah. Let's just destroy a ducks. So.

594
00:20:19,768 --> 00:20:20,268
So

595
00:20:20,738 --> 00:20:22,806
So do they not give ducks to cherokee?

596
00:20:23,522 --> 00:20:25,908
Oh, no. Now. Cherokee with trash cans of

597
00:20:25,988 --> 00:20:26,545
Jeep man.

598
00:20:27,833 --> 00:20:29,185
And I got a nice 1 like, I...

599
00:20:29,345 --> 00:20:30,856
We have a cherokee. We in the studio.

600
00:20:31,095 --> 00:20:32,289
I remember a Toy jerk up here on

601
00:20:32,289 --> 00:20:34,676
the wall, so it's a... Oh, not. Oh,

602
00:20:34,835 --> 00:20:36,528
yeah. There you go. Dumpster. Listen.

603
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:37,080
Fair.

604
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,480
I... That's actually how I fed my off

605
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,855
road addiction prior, you know, previous to Youtube

606
00:20:46,855 --> 00:20:48,454
because, you know, Youtube been around for what,

607
00:20:48,615 --> 00:20:50,295
like, 13 years an now or so. Mh.

608
00:20:50,934 --> 00:20:51,434
Is

609
00:20:51,815 --> 00:20:53,974
I would buy cherokee because they were cheap.

610
00:20:54,309 --> 00:20:55,904
And that's how, like, I could hold my

611
00:20:55,904 --> 00:20:57,759
family in a cherokee. And then

612
00:20:58,216 --> 00:21:00,290
realistically, having the coils in the front, leaf

613
00:21:00,290 --> 00:21:02,283
springs in the back. They're, you know, pretty

614
00:21:02,283 --> 00:21:04,154
decent out of the box. And

615
00:21:04,692 --> 00:21:06,608
I bought 1 for a dollar 1 time.

616
00:21:06,927 --> 00:21:09,083
That they couldn't figure out the overheating issues.

617
00:21:09,322 --> 00:21:10,759
They put a new water pump in a

618
00:21:10,759 --> 00:21:12,537
new thermostat and a new radiator,

619
00:21:13,169 --> 00:21:15,006
and they... It was just overheating They couldn't

620
00:21:15,006 --> 00:21:16,543
figure out what ended up being

621
00:21:16,922 --> 00:21:20,594
was those old Roanoke Jeep, the the lower

622
00:21:20,594 --> 00:21:23,164
radiator hose had a coil in it. Right.

623
00:21:23,404 --> 00:21:25,325
And so you'd grab the... Yeah. So you

624
00:21:25,325 --> 00:21:27,085
could grab the radiator hose, and it felt

625
00:21:27,085 --> 00:21:28,045
like it was good.

626
00:21:28,684 --> 00:21:30,857
But when you pulled it out, the coils

627
00:21:30,857 --> 00:21:34,050
what kept it feeling good felt stiff, but

628
00:21:34,050 --> 00:21:36,285
it was collapsed completely on the inside of

629
00:21:36,285 --> 00:21:38,654
the radiator hose. So I changed it out

630
00:21:38,774 --> 00:21:41,083
with, like, a 15 dollar hose, and then

631
00:21:41,162 --> 00:21:42,834
I was able to sell it for, you

632
00:21:42,834 --> 00:21:45,859
know, 1500 bucks and made a huge profit

633
00:21:45,859 --> 00:21:48,259
a 1500 percent profit. I'm not sure. Yeah.

634
00:21:49,291 --> 00:21:51,753
And and just that story you might have

635
00:21:51,753 --> 00:21:52,809
just solved Tyler's

636
00:21:53,579 --> 00:21:55,485
overheating problem. Yeah. I have a big overheating

637
00:21:55,485 --> 00:21:57,009
issue, and I'm about to the 400 for

638
00:21:57,009 --> 00:21:58,043
a dollar 2. I'll buy it.

639
00:22:01,539 --> 00:22:03,208
I've... It's considered sold already.

640
00:22:05,369 --> 00:22:07,287
But yeah. So, like, you know, that... Especially

641
00:22:07,287 --> 00:22:08,964
the Ren ones, they were, you know, they

642
00:22:08,964 --> 00:22:10,482
had a lot of wiring issues. I bought

643
00:22:10,482 --> 00:22:13,211
a wiring diagram form them and And I

644
00:22:13,211 --> 00:22:14,564
would buy them and and then flip them

645
00:22:14,723 --> 00:22:16,417
I'd fix them. You know, it's been

646
00:22:16,872 --> 00:22:19,021
at the most, maybe 500 bucks for them

647
00:22:19,021 --> 00:22:20,549
and then flip them and make you know,

648
00:22:20,788 --> 00:22:22,781
make a thousand bucks, make 800 bucks on

649
00:22:22,781 --> 00:22:25,890
them. And you know, that, like, for the

650
00:22:25,890 --> 00:22:28,144
cherokee, especially, you know, the the

651
00:22:29,013 --> 00:22:31,084
crank shaft position sensor that sits on the

652
00:22:31,084 --> 00:22:32,835
backside of the transmission on the top of

653
00:22:32,835 --> 00:22:35,463
the transmission. That was super common for those.

654
00:22:35,622 --> 00:22:36,998
And then, like the Gm

655
00:22:38,103 --> 00:22:40,985
the old throttle body Gm. It was your...

656
00:22:41,676 --> 00:22:44,057
Like, it's it's an ignition module basically that

657
00:22:44,057 --> 00:22:46,225
sits underneath your distributor. And

658
00:22:46,852 --> 00:22:48,045
And so they would just die.

659
00:22:48,681 --> 00:22:50,192
And this is the same issue for both

660
00:22:50,192 --> 00:22:51,703
rigs, but it they would just die,

661
00:22:52,259 --> 00:22:53,850
and then people be like, I don't know,

662
00:22:53,930 --> 00:22:55,218
and then it would start and then it

663
00:22:55,218 --> 00:22:56,813
would die again, and and it's just this

664
00:22:56,813 --> 00:22:58,089
1 simple, you know,

665
00:22:58,966 --> 00:23:01,439
15 20 dollar part at the time. And

666
00:23:01,439 --> 00:23:02,635
you could just change it out and then

667
00:23:02,635 --> 00:23:03,432
it fix it. So...

668
00:23:04,483 --> 00:23:06,631
That's kinda how I fed my fed my

669
00:23:06,631 --> 00:23:07,370
off road

670
00:23:08,302 --> 00:23:10,847
payments is is doing that. Right. Sure. And

671
00:23:10,847 --> 00:23:12,533
then have it know, just doing all these

672
00:23:12,533 --> 00:23:15,080
random jobs growing up, You know, I kinda

673
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,535
like the the Roosevelt

674
00:23:16,910 --> 00:23:19,059
motto, Jack of all trades, master and none.

675
00:23:19,298 --> 00:23:20,832
Yeah. That's kinda how I learned

676
00:23:21,142 --> 00:23:23,205
how to work just work on stuff. It's

677
00:23:23,205 --> 00:23:24,872
funny. How, a lot of... It seems like

678
00:23:24,872 --> 00:23:27,253
that's a very common theme in the operating

679
00:23:27,253 --> 00:23:28,919
world, especially the rock crawling world. Right? It's

680
00:23:28,919 --> 00:23:29,529
a lot of

681
00:23:29,967 --> 00:23:31,798
people who just love working with their hands

682
00:23:31,798 --> 00:23:34,128
and have a lot of random knowledge

683
00:23:34,902 --> 00:23:36,493
about how things work.

684
00:23:37,623 --> 00:23:38,660
And they're able to,

685
00:23:39,298 --> 00:23:41,771
Mc ge and put vehicles back together after

686
00:23:41,771 --> 00:23:43,207
we destroy them on our trips. So...

687
00:23:44,004 --> 00:23:45,919
Well, starting a family at, you know, when

688
00:23:45,919 --> 00:23:46,955
you're 19 years old,

689
00:23:47,608 --> 00:23:49,683
you know, you... You're poor. Yeah. So Yeah.

690
00:23:49,922 --> 00:23:51,438
It's either it's either fix it or die.

691
00:23:51,598 --> 00:23:53,273
Because that's how you getting work and pay

692
00:23:53,273 --> 00:23:54,332
your bills. So

693
00:23:54,884 --> 00:23:56,643
You know, my wife and I were... We

694
00:23:56,643 --> 00:23:58,800
were really... I mean, we had a a

695
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,718
little single wide trailer that was built in

696
00:24:00,718 --> 00:24:03,835
the, I think 64 19 64. Mh.

697
00:24:04,407 --> 00:24:04,907
And

698
00:24:05,596 --> 00:24:07,816
and I took a loan out for it

699
00:24:07,816 --> 00:24:10,273
for 4000 bucks, and I remember thinking how

700
00:24:10,273 --> 00:24:12,274
am I gonna be able to afford this

701
00:24:12,274 --> 00:24:14,194
loan, You know, and it was whatever the

702
00:24:14,194 --> 00:24:15,875
payment was was dumb, You know, But

703
00:24:16,674 --> 00:24:17,875
how am I gonna be able to afford

704
00:24:17,875 --> 00:24:19,714
this, and there were times even where we

705
00:24:19,714 --> 00:24:22,049
couldn't afford? Because the lot rent in the

706
00:24:22,049 --> 00:24:23,487
trailer park we lived in had

707
00:24:24,366 --> 00:24:26,763
you know, electricity and everything water was all

708
00:24:26,763 --> 00:24:28,042
part of the lot rents. I don't have

709
00:24:28,042 --> 00:24:29,880
worry about that. But, like, propane I did.

710
00:24:30,214 --> 00:24:32,368
And grown up, you know, live Colorado gets

711
00:24:32,368 --> 00:24:34,203
cold in the winter. Mh. And so there

712
00:24:34,203 --> 00:24:36,757
were times where I couldn't afford propane, so

713
00:24:36,757 --> 00:24:38,930
we would bundle our daughter. Our son wasn't

714
00:24:38,930 --> 00:24:40,769
born yet, but we'd bundle our daughter and

715
00:24:40,769 --> 00:24:42,529
her and my wife and up and... Because

716
00:24:42,529 --> 00:24:44,930
it's just a... It's technically a 2 bedroom

717
00:24:44,930 --> 00:24:45,890
1 bath trailer.

718
00:24:46,464 --> 00:24:48,697
But it was more like a closet and

719
00:24:48,697 --> 00:24:50,212
then, like, a bigger closet.

720
00:24:50,690 --> 00:24:53,242
And then a bathroom. Mh. And so we'd

721
00:24:53,242 --> 00:24:55,809
we'd bundle up with her and blankets. And

722
00:24:55,809 --> 00:24:57,642
then I'd I get 1 of those radiant

723
00:24:57,642 --> 00:24:59,874
heaters that the plug in radiant heaters, oil

724
00:24:59,874 --> 00:25:01,627
style heat. And I'd put that in front

725
00:25:01,627 --> 00:25:02,902
of the door. And I just drained the

726
00:25:02,902 --> 00:25:04,905
water and then know, kinda turn the water

727
00:25:04,905 --> 00:25:06,492
off to the trailer, and then that's how

728
00:25:06,492 --> 00:25:08,079
we would sleep some nights in the winter

729
00:25:08,079 --> 00:25:10,302
because we just couldn't afford propane. So.

730
00:25:11,349 --> 00:25:12,869
But yeah. So it's like, you know, you

731
00:25:12,869 --> 00:25:15,109
kinda learn how to do it. Yeah Yeah.

732
00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:17,990
Center. You know, I can't afford a mechanics.

733
00:25:18,150 --> 00:25:20,250
So... Yep. Sure. You know

734
00:25:20,804 --> 00:25:23,196
I think for me, I needed to have

735
00:25:23,196 --> 00:25:24,951
my kids young. It it, like, it was

736
00:25:24,951 --> 00:25:26,227
forced me to grow up. I had to

737
00:25:26,227 --> 00:25:28,939
probably ended up dead at 25 because I

738
00:25:28,939 --> 00:25:30,509
was out of control and

739
00:25:30,867 --> 00:25:33,252
I, you, fearless. Mh. Like most kids at

740
00:25:33,252 --> 00:25:33,967
that age. But,

741
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:35,580
legitimately,

742
00:25:36,113 --> 00:25:37,964
fearless. And and so

743
00:25:38,274 --> 00:25:39,870
Yeah. That was a good thing. Good thing

744
00:25:39,870 --> 00:25:41,306
for me and now I got, you know,

745
00:25:41,944 --> 00:25:44,338
2 awesome kids and my daughter, you know,

746
00:25:44,976 --> 00:25:45,476
being

747
00:25:45,869 --> 00:25:48,506
being in my early forties and already having,

748
00:25:48,586 --> 00:25:51,643
you know, a son and and a granddaughter

749
00:25:52,022 --> 00:25:54,555
is pretty cool. So I was just having

750
00:25:54,753 --> 00:25:56,814
Yeah. And being able to, like, be young

751
00:25:56,814 --> 00:25:58,162
enough to play with them too.

752
00:25:58,954 --> 00:26:03,099
That's kinda my worry. I waited. I'm 36,

753
00:26:03,660 --> 00:26:05,660
80. I got 8 04:36.

754
00:26:05,820 --> 00:26:07,900
So I'm 36, and I just had my

755
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:10,299
case. He's 4 months old now, and I'm,

756
00:26:10,380 --> 00:26:10,619
you know,

757
00:26:11,594 --> 00:26:14,229
it's it's, you know, nice because I waited

758
00:26:14,229 --> 00:26:16,065
so long, so I have the resources to

759
00:26:16,065 --> 00:26:17,981
be able to take care of him and

760
00:26:17,981 --> 00:26:19,578
provide for them and and, you know, have

761
00:26:19,578 --> 00:26:20,796
a family comfortably.

762
00:26:21,586 --> 00:26:23,807
But I worry because I'm like, man, I'm

763
00:26:23,807 --> 00:26:25,394
gonna be in my fifties,

764
00:26:26,584 --> 00:26:28,409
when he's 18 and starting to do all

765
00:26:28,409 --> 00:26:30,650
the fun things that that guys do in

766
00:26:30,650 --> 00:26:32,801
their their late teens and twenties, and I'm

767
00:26:32,801 --> 00:26:34,156
like, alright... Am I gonna be able to

768
00:26:34,156 --> 00:26:36,228
keep up with them? I don't know. So

769
00:26:36,228 --> 00:26:37,980
it's... Well, I can tell you. I can't

770
00:26:37,980 --> 00:26:39,669
keep my son's 20 and I can't keep

771
00:26:39,669 --> 00:26:41,269
up with him now, so it doesn't.

772
00:26:42,549 --> 00:26:44,230
Perfect. There we go. But

773
00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:46,710
but... Yeah, It's... They both have their pros

774
00:26:46,710 --> 00:26:48,079
and cons for sure. It'd be, you know,

775
00:26:48,477 --> 00:26:49,990
my brother's in that boat. So my brother

776
00:26:49,990 --> 00:26:51,922
and I are only a year apart, and,

777
00:26:52,218 --> 00:26:54,367
you know, his kids are just a few

778
00:26:54,367 --> 00:26:56,778
years old. So Mh. It's

779
00:26:57,169 --> 00:26:59,327
you know, I I think I scared him

780
00:26:59,327 --> 00:27:01,724
into being being afraid of girls and kids

781
00:27:01,724 --> 00:27:03,983
and tell he was later in life. But

782
00:27:04,522 --> 00:27:06,774
but, yeah, that's it. Yeah. Good Thank. Yeah.

783
00:27:07,014 --> 00:27:08,772
Yeah. It's and it's both ways. Like I

784
00:27:08,772 --> 00:27:10,130
said, that they both have their pros and

785
00:27:10,130 --> 00:27:12,528
cons for sure. I, you know, being financially

786
00:27:12,528 --> 00:27:14,365
stable to have your kids is probably a

787
00:27:14,365 --> 00:27:15,085
good thing as well.

788
00:27:15,818 --> 00:27:17,572
For sure. Yeah. It's a it's... Yeah. It's...

789
00:27:17,811 --> 00:27:19,964
You know, what is the saying? Half a

790
00:27:19,964 --> 00:27:20,464
dozen

791
00:27:21,081 --> 00:27:22,197
1 way. Half of it does the other?

792
00:27:22,357 --> 00:27:23,712
I don't know whatever takes. My half a

793
00:27:23,712 --> 00:27:26,032
is you got. Man. I got you. It's

794
00:27:26,032 --> 00:27:27,936
not like throwing cats across your footage.

795
00:27:28,808 --> 00:27:32,239
Julie's cliches. So what what moves so you

796
00:27:32,239 --> 00:27:34,317
had these early, You know, you had a

797
00:27:34,317 --> 00:27:36,474
child early. You were doing odd jobs. You

798
00:27:36,474 --> 00:27:38,333
were, you know, flipping

799
00:27:38,872 --> 00:27:40,470
cherokee to make some cash.

800
00:27:41,281 --> 00:27:43,030
That started the off road career. How did

801
00:27:43,030 --> 00:27:44,857
you move from that into Youtube?

802
00:27:45,573 --> 00:27:48,929
Well, so I did I did make some

803
00:27:48,929 --> 00:27:51,645
early early Youtube videos. Like I... We took

804
00:27:51,645 --> 00:27:53,023
some videos. And

805
00:27:53,722 --> 00:27:55,021
before Youtube was monetized.

806
00:27:55,414 --> 00:27:57,008
Yeah. And they actually did really good, like,

807
00:27:57,087 --> 00:27:58,840
at the time. I mean, I'm talking, like,

808
00:27:59,478 --> 00:28:01,310
2800 to 6000 views,

809
00:28:02,027 --> 00:28:04,179
you know, the beginning of Youtube. Yeah. Because

810
00:28:04,258 --> 00:28:06,897
I was doing stuff, that other Youtubers weren't,

811
00:28:07,056 --> 00:28:09,677
you know, like Carnage Canyon and Bun vista

812
00:28:09,677 --> 00:28:12,536
had just, like, just opened up. And so

813
00:28:12,695 --> 00:28:14,283
I was doing trails like that, which I

814
00:28:14,283 --> 00:28:16,214
got to help know, kinda put that trail

815
00:28:16,214 --> 00:28:18,294
in and and help work on...

816
00:28:18,934 --> 00:28:20,294
I've helped put in a lot of trails

817
00:28:20,294 --> 00:28:22,154
over the years too. You know, people

818
00:28:22,628 --> 00:28:25,410
people are kinda anti 4 drive clubs, and

819
00:28:25,569 --> 00:28:27,953
I'm gonna tell you that I've lost trails

820
00:28:27,953 --> 00:28:30,098
that I worked on because the National Forest

821
00:28:30,098 --> 00:28:32,500
and Beyond they don't recognize single entity. They

822
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:33,000
recognize

823
00:28:33,855 --> 00:28:36,905
companies here or or organizations associations and

824
00:28:37,282 --> 00:28:37,782
and

825
00:28:38,159 --> 00:28:39,217
organizations. And so

826
00:28:39,608 --> 00:28:41,122
I learned the hard way that if you

827
00:28:41,122 --> 00:28:43,272
wanna keep a trail, you have to you

828
00:28:43,272 --> 00:28:44,547
have to be part of a 4 drive

829
00:28:44,547 --> 00:28:45,901
club, and you have to be part of

830
00:28:45,901 --> 00:28:47,733
ones. There's a lot of ones out there

831
00:28:47,733 --> 00:28:50,453
now that they're just get together, you know,

832
00:28:50,691 --> 00:28:52,837
drink beer and do... And and 4 wheel,

833
00:28:52,996 --> 00:28:54,744
but the ones that are actually proactive in

834
00:28:54,744 --> 00:28:57,208
the off road community, putting in trails, marking

835
00:28:57,208 --> 00:28:59,460
trails. It's a 6 to 10 year process

836
00:28:59,460 --> 00:29:00,740
to put a trail in and... A lot

837
00:29:00,740 --> 00:29:02,820
of people don't know that. And so...

838
00:29:03,460 --> 00:29:04,980
But... Yeah. So it kinda worked out that

839
00:29:04,980 --> 00:29:06,740
way for the Youtube side, You know, as

840
00:29:06,740 --> 00:29:08,745
as doing some stuff, and it was doing

841
00:29:08,745 --> 00:29:10,973
really good, but it wasn't paying any bills.

842
00:29:11,291 --> 00:29:13,280
So I didn't focus on it a whole

843
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,190
lot. I learned how to edit and make

844
00:29:15,190 --> 00:29:17,350
things like that. And as I went forward,

845
00:29:17,588 --> 00:29:18,936
I just... I got into the oil field,

846
00:29:19,174 --> 00:29:20,522
and I stayed in the oil field for

847
00:29:20,522 --> 00:29:22,346
a long time. And so the nice thing

848
00:29:22,346 --> 00:29:23,853
about that is I could work hard.

849
00:29:24,664 --> 00:29:26,664
And then on my 2 weeks off, I

850
00:29:26,664 --> 00:29:28,424
could work on my rig and then take

851
00:29:28,424 --> 00:29:30,444
the family 4 wheel, You know? So,

852
00:29:30,825 --> 00:29:32,265
you know, and to end and be able

853
00:29:32,265 --> 00:29:34,667
to you know, try these harder things and,

854
00:29:34,826 --> 00:29:36,256
you know, you know, every time you build

855
00:29:36,256 --> 00:29:37,528
a rig, you're like, the next 1 I'm

856
00:29:37,528 --> 00:29:39,037
gonna build, I'm gonna change this and this.

857
00:29:39,196 --> 00:29:40,173
You know? So

858
00:29:40,484 --> 00:29:42,319
So that's... You know, I've I've I owned

859
00:29:42,479 --> 00:29:44,814
I owned so many vehicles at 1 point

860
00:29:45,272 --> 00:29:47,666
that the state of Colorado actually sent me

861
00:29:47,666 --> 00:29:50,230
a letter saying if I auto sold another

862
00:29:50,230 --> 00:29:51,821
vehicle, I'd have to get a dealer license.

863
00:29:52,856 --> 00:29:54,528
And half the vehicles I wasn't even changed

864
00:29:54,528 --> 00:29:56,095
in the title over into my name

865
00:29:56,613 --> 00:29:57,012
like, yeah.

866
00:29:57,889 --> 00:29:58,846
I anchored.

867
00:30:00,202 --> 00:30:00,601
But

868
00:30:01,478 --> 00:30:02,116
yeah, that's

869
00:30:02,914 --> 00:30:05,567
you know, so so step forward,

870
00:30:06,359 --> 00:30:08,619
quite a few years. My dad was

871
00:30:09,159 --> 00:30:11,079
a heavy... He he recently passed away, but

872
00:30:11,079 --> 00:30:13,079
he was a heavy Youtube watcher. He really

873
00:30:13,079 --> 00:30:13,579
enjoyed

874
00:30:14,132 --> 00:30:16,599
watching Youtube, watching people build stuff. I mean,

875
00:30:16,759 --> 00:30:18,112
even grown up like we watched,

876
00:30:19,385 --> 00:30:21,136
extreme 4 by 4, You know, like and

877
00:30:21,215 --> 00:30:23,627
John, you know, and and and and jesse

878
00:30:23,627 --> 00:30:25,565
and and, yeah, back in the day. And

879
00:30:25,784 --> 00:30:26,263
and

880
00:30:27,221 --> 00:30:29,152
you know, and some, you know, like, 4

881
00:30:29,152 --> 00:30:30,744
wheeler Tv and think, you know and and

882
00:30:30,903 --> 00:30:32,574
Scott or what was the super lifts off

883
00:30:32,574 --> 00:30:34,564
road adventures that Trent Mcgee did. You know.

884
00:30:34,723 --> 00:30:36,872
Yeah. And yeah, some of that stuff and

885
00:30:36,872 --> 00:30:38,168
that... And so

886
00:30:38,638 --> 00:30:40,786
you know, he he liked watching that on

887
00:30:40,945 --> 00:30:41,661
Youtube as well.

888
00:30:42,377 --> 00:30:43,969
And he told me he's like, hey, you

889
00:30:43,969 --> 00:30:46,356
know, bleep and Jeep Matt is looking for

890
00:30:46,356 --> 00:30:46,993
an f c.

891
00:30:47,804 --> 00:30:49,265
And looking for an Fc.

892
00:30:50,044 --> 00:30:50,544
And

893
00:30:50,924 --> 00:30:52,144
I was actually headed

894
00:30:52,605 --> 00:30:54,365
across the country. We lived in South Dakota

895
00:30:54,365 --> 00:30:55,585
at the time. And

896
00:30:56,059 --> 00:30:57,414
and we lived up there for about 12

897
00:30:57,414 --> 00:30:59,645
years. And I was headed across the country

898
00:30:59,645 --> 00:31:01,478
with an empty trailer because I was buying,

899
00:31:01,717 --> 00:31:02,217
I

900
00:31:02,594 --> 00:31:03,572
I had sold

901
00:31:04,044 --> 00:31:05,960
1 of my rigs to buy a twisted

902
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:06,678
customs Buggy.

903
00:31:07,476 --> 00:31:09,951
And my buddy, Jason Poly owns, twisted customs.

904
00:31:10,669 --> 00:31:12,745
And, you know... Anybody knows anything about, like,

905
00:31:13,078 --> 00:31:14,510
old school rock crawling.

906
00:31:15,465 --> 00:31:19,045
Twist customs kinda set the stage. For bug.

907
00:31:19,204 --> 00:31:21,352
Right? They set the stage for link design,

908
00:31:21,923 --> 00:31:24,543
and Bug ease. And that's where, you know,

909
00:31:24,781 --> 00:31:26,766
like, Red dot and and even Jesse hands

910
00:31:26,766 --> 00:31:28,909
a of these guys kinda, you know, followed

911
00:31:28,909 --> 00:31:30,671
into that. Okay. We need to build them

912
00:31:30,671 --> 00:31:32,338
like this, and and they've taken it to

913
00:31:32,338 --> 00:31:35,117
the next level, of course. But twisted customs

914
00:31:35,117 --> 00:31:36,704
definitely started. Well, I had this guy. Was

915
00:31:36,704 --> 00:31:38,372
gonna sell me a a buggy, and I

916
00:31:38,372 --> 00:31:39,977
was I was like, oh, man Cool. You

917
00:31:39,977 --> 00:31:41,568
know, We had a handshake deal on it.

918
00:31:41,807 --> 00:31:43,954
I sold my rig, and then he backed

919
00:31:43,954 --> 00:31:44,193
out.

920
00:31:45,878 --> 00:31:47,311
With the agreement that I'd have to sell

921
00:31:47,311 --> 00:31:48,289
my rig. So

922
00:31:48,664 --> 00:31:49,460
so he backed out.

923
00:31:50,177 --> 00:31:51,848
And so now I was buggy. And I

924
00:31:51,848 --> 00:31:54,077
was, man, I need something like now because

925
00:31:54,156 --> 00:31:57,456
I'm losing my mind. And Tim Cameron had

926
00:31:57,592 --> 00:31:59,604
a a little rear steer Samurai.

927
00:32:00,377 --> 00:32:02,500
And so, you know, and he lives out

928
00:32:02,619 --> 00:32:05,012
Tennessee. So I just messaged Matt and said,

929
00:32:05,091 --> 00:32:06,766
hey, you know, if you're if you're picking

930
00:32:06,766 --> 00:32:08,042
something up from this side of the country,

931
00:32:08,281 --> 00:32:09,796
I'm heading over with an empty trailer.

932
00:32:11,312 --> 00:32:11,812
And

933
00:32:12,442 --> 00:32:14,430
So, you know, he got back with me

934
00:32:14,430 --> 00:32:15,407
and and then

935
00:32:15,782 --> 00:32:16,975
said that, yeah. I got 1, you know,

936
00:32:17,054 --> 00:32:18,804
in Utah, if you wouldn't mind picking it

937
00:32:18,804 --> 00:32:19,997
up, you know, I could pay you the

938
00:32:19,997 --> 00:32:22,089
difference going down to Utah and grabbing it.

939
00:32:22,250 --> 00:32:23,769
So I went down to Utah grabbed it,

940
00:32:24,410 --> 00:32:26,410
went out there, and then we kinda hit

941
00:32:26,410 --> 00:32:29,378
it off actually realizing that he had kids

942
00:32:29,378 --> 00:32:30,094
young as well.

943
00:32:30,729 --> 00:32:32,103
We're both the same age

944
00:32:32,716 --> 00:32:33,216
and,

945
00:32:33,908 --> 00:32:35,759
you know, both obviously kinda

946
00:32:36,385 --> 00:32:37,440
started on Cherokee.

947
00:32:38,050 --> 00:32:40,135
Whole lot of it was on cherokee. And,

948
00:32:40,428 --> 00:32:42,806
yeah. And then that kinda just spiral from

949
00:32:42,806 --> 00:32:42,965
there.

950
00:32:43,854 --> 00:32:45,610
I was still in the oil field and

951
00:32:45,610 --> 00:32:49,042
then doing Youtube and then when when the

952
00:32:49,042 --> 00:32:51,277
oil tank for the last time, you know,

953
00:32:51,516 --> 00:32:52,888
it was getting the was just like, you

954
00:32:52,888 --> 00:32:54,406
know what? I can stay with Youtube and

955
00:32:54,406 --> 00:32:56,084
just try to make this work. And then

956
00:32:56,084 --> 00:32:59,280
that kinda how how that worked. But I've

957
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,286
always you know, even in the oil field

958
00:33:01,286 --> 00:33:02,957
as I moved up, you know, you learn

959
00:33:02,957 --> 00:33:04,787
how to teach people stuff. You really wanna...

960
00:33:04,946 --> 00:33:06,855
You know, I want... The more people know,

961
00:33:07,253 --> 00:33:08,606
like, I like knowledge.

962
00:33:09,339 --> 00:33:11,419
And so if I can share knowledge, even...

963
00:33:11,579 --> 00:33:13,019
Like I said, you know, my motto for

964
00:33:13,019 --> 00:33:14,539
my channel is there's the right way to

965
00:33:14,539 --> 00:33:15,500
do it the wrong way to do it

966
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:17,508
and the way I do it. So and,

967
00:33:17,588 --> 00:33:18,781
like, I understand saying that I'm doing it

968
00:33:18,781 --> 00:33:20,452
the right way. I'm just saying this works

969
00:33:20,452 --> 00:33:21,588
for me. And

970
00:33:22,122 --> 00:33:22,917
so, like,

971
00:33:23,569 --> 00:33:25,164
You know, you learn... You kinda learn how

972
00:33:25,164 --> 00:33:26,839
to... You know, if you've ever been a

973
00:33:26,839 --> 00:33:28,195
a boss or a manager,

974
00:33:28,833 --> 00:33:31,465
you learn immediately that you're more than just

975
00:33:31,465 --> 00:33:33,321
a boss or a manager. You're also

976
00:33:33,712 --> 00:33:35,851
you know, you're also, you know, a teacher.

977
00:33:36,168 --> 00:33:39,733
You're also a psychiatrist, sometimes you're also, you

978
00:33:39,733 --> 00:33:40,209
know, like,

979
00:33:41,095 --> 00:33:42,680
all kinds of things, especially in the oil

980
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,106
field because these guys are away from their

981
00:33:44,106 --> 00:33:45,928
families for a long time and there's all

982
00:33:45,928 --> 00:33:47,775
kinds issues with that and

983
00:33:48,083 --> 00:33:50,068
And so you you learned to really try

984
00:33:50,068 --> 00:33:51,973
to help people out, and I've always liked

985
00:33:51,973 --> 00:33:52,767
helping people out.

986
00:33:53,402 --> 00:33:55,308
And so with the Youtube side, I was

987
00:33:55,308 --> 00:33:57,228
like, what I wanted to do was, you

988
00:33:57,228 --> 00:33:59,932
know, share history, share my knowledge, but also

989
00:33:59,932 --> 00:34:01,204
see if I can help people out if

990
00:34:01,204 --> 00:34:03,351
somebody's like, hey. You know, like I just

991
00:34:03,351 --> 00:34:05,418
recently not too long ago did a video

992
00:34:05,418 --> 00:34:07,182
that didn't really do that great. I was

993
00:34:07,182 --> 00:34:08,616
like, I'm gonna do it anyway. I knew

994
00:34:08,616 --> 00:34:10,367
it wouldn't take off, but it was just

995
00:34:10,367 --> 00:34:12,517
had a d to tire, basically on c

996
00:34:12,517 --> 00:34:14,906
to tire. Mh. And I had a lot

997
00:34:14,906 --> 00:34:17,395
of... But older guys messaged me and say,

998
00:34:17,555 --> 00:34:19,072
man, there were some ways that you showed

999
00:34:19,072 --> 00:34:20,269
me that I didn't... You know, I've been

1000
00:34:20,269 --> 00:34:22,185
doing this my whole life and didn't know

1001
00:34:22,185 --> 00:34:23,702
that I could change this, you know, pop

1002
00:34:23,702 --> 00:34:25,734
a tire off a bead this way. So

1003
00:34:25,872 --> 00:34:27,468
so that kind of stuff I I like

1004
00:34:27,468 --> 00:34:29,303
that a lot. You know, when people kind

1005
00:34:29,303 --> 00:34:31,139
send you private messages and say, hey, you

1006
00:34:31,139 --> 00:34:33,228
know, you really helped me or or or

1007
00:34:33,228 --> 00:34:34,424
even like, you know, there's a of people

1008
00:34:34,424 --> 00:34:35,780
that say that you need changed their life.

1009
00:34:36,019 --> 00:34:37,375
Like, you're the reason they get up in

1010
00:34:37,375 --> 00:34:38,890
the morning and stuff. And that's that's huge.

1011
00:34:39,050 --> 00:34:40,725
Just like, man, I did not realize I

1012
00:34:40,725 --> 00:34:42,454
was making an impact like that. And it's

1013
00:34:42,574 --> 00:34:45,127
Yeah. That's that's just, like, you know, he

1014
00:34:45,127 --> 00:34:46,962
gives you all the field goods. That's absolutely

1015
00:34:46,962 --> 00:34:48,877
like... That's it keeps you good motivation Keep

1016
00:34:48,877 --> 00:34:51,756
going. Yeah. I had a video where I

1017
00:34:51,756 --> 00:34:54,221
was just... I was doing an upgraded suspension

1018
00:34:54,221 --> 00:34:55,652
on a fore runner, and I just said

1019
00:34:55,652 --> 00:34:56,550
something nonchalant.

1020
00:34:56,925 --> 00:34:59,171
I was, like, hey, whenever you pull a

1021
00:34:59,171 --> 00:35:01,885
tire off, just throw it underneath the vehicle

1022
00:35:01,885 --> 00:35:04,680
so that if randomly the vehicle falls off

1023
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,755
Jack stands, it falls onto the tire,

1024
00:35:07,407 --> 00:35:09,313
instead of on to you underneath. And I

1025
00:35:09,313 --> 00:35:10,981
had a guy messaged me and said, you

1026
00:35:10,981 --> 00:35:11,695
saved my life.

1027
00:35:12,410 --> 00:35:14,474
I was working on my vehicle in the

1028
00:35:14,474 --> 00:35:17,109
driveway. It fell off Jack stands. It fell

1029
00:35:17,109 --> 00:35:19,330
onto the tires. I got bruised up and

1030
00:35:19,330 --> 00:35:20,679
banged up, but I was able to climb

1031
00:35:20,679 --> 00:35:22,266
out from underneath the vehicle, and I was

1032
00:35:22,266 --> 00:35:23,397
like, Oh my gosh. Like,

1033
00:35:24,354 --> 00:35:26,268
Like, I can't... Like, I saved somebody's life

1034
00:35:26,268 --> 00:35:28,421
just by saying something randomly on Youtube. You

1035
00:35:28,421 --> 00:35:30,574
know, it's it's pretty wild and crazy, and

1036
00:35:30,654 --> 00:35:32,090
I'm so thankful I was able to help.

1037
00:35:32,424 --> 00:35:34,654
No. Yeah. For sure. That I wish I

1038
00:35:34,654 --> 00:35:36,964
would thought about that when I was, like,

1039
00:35:37,363 --> 00:35:39,992
20 because I was doing a suspension on

1040
00:35:39,992 --> 00:35:41,368
a a grand cherokee

1041
00:35:41,839 --> 00:35:42,319
And

1042
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,159
like I said, I was doing everything out

1043
00:35:44,159 --> 00:35:45,920
in the granite under dirt on a hill.

1044
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:46,900
And

1045
00:35:47,359 --> 00:35:49,839
my jack stands collapsed underneath themselves and the

1046
00:35:49,839 --> 00:35:51,414
rear bumper landed right in the middle of

1047
00:35:51,534 --> 00:35:53,287
chest. Oh, shit. And I couldn't breathe that

1048
00:35:53,367 --> 00:35:54,641
I was trying to scream and every time

1049
00:35:54,721 --> 00:35:56,394
I try to scream I lose more oxygen

1050
00:35:56,394 --> 00:35:58,089
out of my lungs, and I ended digging

1051
00:35:58,147 --> 00:36:00,557
myself out to the point, like, just digging

1052
00:36:00,557 --> 00:36:02,256
with 1 hand that I had free

1053
00:36:02,795 --> 00:36:03,194
and

1054
00:36:03,754 --> 00:36:05,751
got climbed out underneath it or, you know,

1055
00:36:05,911 --> 00:36:08,322
because the least the the where the frame

1056
00:36:08,322 --> 00:36:10,156
hit the ground, and then I just dug

1057
00:36:10,156 --> 00:36:11,751
myself out underneath, but I could barely breathe.

1058
00:36:11,910 --> 00:36:13,505
I barely had enough oxygen to get it

1059
00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:15,440
through it. Oh. Got out of

1060
00:36:16,057 --> 00:36:17,826
They feel like is big old bruise on

1061
00:36:17,826 --> 00:36:19,740
my sternum. Yeah. Holy crap.

1062
00:36:20,538 --> 00:36:21,256
That's crazy.

1063
00:36:21,735 --> 00:36:24,047
Wow Yeah. You learn... You you make mistakes

1064
00:36:24,047 --> 00:36:25,643
and you learn from those. That's that's the

1065
00:36:25,643 --> 00:36:27,812
biggest thing. I think people think that you

1066
00:36:27,812 --> 00:36:29,409
you have knowledge and it's like, most of

1067
00:36:29,409 --> 00:36:31,803
the time your knowledge comes from personal experience

1068
00:36:31,803 --> 00:36:32,601
of your own mistakes.

1069
00:36:34,597 --> 00:36:34,836
Yeah.

1070
00:36:35,969 --> 00:36:39,159
So here in the recent future, you actually

1071
00:36:39,159 --> 00:36:41,073
left Bleep in Jeep, and you moved on

1072
00:36:41,073 --> 00:36:42,908
to start your own Youtube channel. Do you

1073
00:36:42,908 --> 00:36:45,221
wanna talk a little bit about, oh, why

1074
00:36:45,221 --> 00:36:47,869
that happened end? Yeah. Well, you know, the

1075
00:36:47,869 --> 00:36:50,183
the biggest thing was it was just time

1076
00:36:50,183 --> 00:36:51,859
to move on to my own. I I

1077
00:36:51,859 --> 00:36:54,106
was pushing a lot of you know, bleep

1078
00:36:54,106 --> 00:36:56,492
and Jeep is kinda pigeon hold into Jeep.

1079
00:36:56,811 --> 00:36:57,311
And

1080
00:36:57,765 --> 00:36:59,754
every time I built something that was non

1081
00:36:59,754 --> 00:36:59,992
jeep,

1082
00:37:00,644 --> 00:37:02,713
you know, I would get... I'd get a

1083
00:37:02,713 --> 00:37:03,987
decent amount of flack for it.

1084
00:37:04,703 --> 00:37:07,170
Interesting. Okay. Yeah. Just because, you know, well,

1085
00:37:07,250 --> 00:37:08,683
this isn't a Jeep why am I watching

1086
00:37:08,683 --> 00:37:09,956
bleep and Jeep, You know? And it's like,

1087
00:37:10,528 --> 00:37:11,802
Yeah. But I'm still showing how to work

1088
00:37:11,802 --> 00:37:13,236
on vehicles. I'm still showing you how to.

1089
00:37:13,395 --> 00:37:15,704
Like, I could be designing... Literally, like, I

1090
00:37:15,704 --> 00:37:16,204
redesigned

1091
00:37:16,898 --> 00:37:19,463
my entire suspension on that you know, that

1092
00:37:19,463 --> 00:37:21,162
samurai I got from Tim Cameron

1093
00:37:21,701 --> 00:37:23,219
was set up more to jump and it

1094
00:37:23,219 --> 00:37:25,136
wasn't set up to rock crawl. And so

1095
00:37:25,216 --> 00:37:27,702
I redesigned that entire. So suspension and redesign

1096
00:37:27,702 --> 00:37:29,849
the cage and redesigned, you know, and made

1097
00:37:29,849 --> 00:37:31,440
all new things and showed people how to

1098
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,586
do that, and I get flack for it

1099
00:37:33,586 --> 00:37:34,461
because it wasn't a jeep.

1100
00:37:35,111 --> 00:37:37,652
And so, you know, it's like, man. Yeah.

1101
00:37:38,128 --> 00:37:40,112
I'm, you know, I wanna build stuff. I

1102
00:37:40,112 --> 00:37:41,541
wanna show people out to build stuff. You

1103
00:37:41,541 --> 00:37:42,987
know? I think Yeah.

1104
00:37:43,862 --> 00:37:46,010
Understand the system. And once you once you

1105
00:37:46,010 --> 00:37:48,476
really understand how that system works like a

1106
00:37:48,476 --> 00:37:51,759
suspension system or your axle system, then you

1107
00:37:51,759 --> 00:37:53,194
can apply it at all or ever... Any

1108
00:37:53,194 --> 00:37:55,268
vehicle, Any any platform. So...

1109
00:37:55,906 --> 00:37:57,900
Yeah. That was my motivation for the S

1110
00:37:57,900 --> 00:37:59,597
10 last year was

1111
00:38:00,068 --> 00:38:02,142
You know, last year, the the winner got

1112
00:38:02,142 --> 00:38:04,535
to go to ultimate. An ultimate deb adventure

1113
00:38:04,535 --> 00:38:06,688
have been on my bucket list for forever.

1114
00:38:06,847 --> 00:38:08,443
The problem with ultimate deb adventures is it's

1115
00:38:08,443 --> 00:38:11,561
very expensive. Mh. You know, it... It's very

1116
00:38:11,561 --> 00:38:14,820
expensive to travel wherever they're gonna go get

1117
00:38:14,820 --> 00:38:16,887
those hotel rooms, get all the, you know,

1118
00:38:17,619 --> 00:38:19,690
and and if fuel, and then if you

1119
00:38:19,690 --> 00:38:21,204
break parts and you need parts.

1120
00:38:21,921 --> 00:38:24,311
And so I knew that if I could

1121
00:38:24,311 --> 00:38:27,125
represent On Off Road, I would have the

1122
00:38:27,125 --> 00:38:29,364
opportunity to maybe have them kinda foot some

1123
00:38:29,364 --> 00:38:30,965
of that bill, and that's kinda how that

1124
00:38:30,965 --> 00:38:31,820
worked out. But

1125
00:38:32,257 --> 00:38:34,247
that was hoping that, you know, I've always

1126
00:38:34,247 --> 00:38:35,918
wanted to do ultimate adventure, so that was

1127
00:38:36,396 --> 00:38:37,930
on my list, and I was motivated,

1128
00:38:38,545 --> 00:38:40,693
very, very motivated for that build. And I

1129
00:38:40,693 --> 00:38:41,193
knew

1130
00:38:41,662 --> 00:38:42,162
that

1131
00:38:42,615 --> 00:38:43,806
starting with an s 10,

1132
00:38:44,362 --> 00:38:46,109
I hadn't seen, you know, me and my

1133
00:38:46,109 --> 00:38:48,809
brother built a sonoma years and years ago,

1134
00:38:49,619 --> 00:38:51,610
solved axle swapped it, you know, and did

1135
00:38:51,610 --> 00:38:53,204
all that. So I knew what it would

1136
00:38:53,204 --> 00:38:55,138
take to make that. And

1137
00:38:55,673 --> 00:38:57,426
I just hadn't seen anybody build an s

1138
00:38:57,426 --> 00:38:58,860
10 in a long time. So that's the

1139
00:38:58,860 --> 00:38:59,987
old you know, the mini squares.

1140
00:39:01,018 --> 00:39:03,081
Yeah. And I was like, you know, lee

1141
00:39:03,081 --> 00:39:04,827
springs still work good. Like, you're not gonna

1142
00:39:04,827 --> 00:39:06,987
get the same flex you get with links

1143
00:39:06,987 --> 00:39:08,579
and coil overs and all that, but you

1144
00:39:08,579 --> 00:39:11,047
can build a leaf spring suspension. Mh. You

1145
00:39:11,047 --> 00:39:12,560
know, like I said, my old 4 runner,

1146
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,471
like we're talking about earlier. You know, I

1147
00:39:14,471 --> 00:39:17,361
did you know, Carnage. I did Boulder Canyon.

1148
00:39:17,601 --> 00:39:19,838
I did, you know, tons of, like, extreme,

1149
00:39:19,918 --> 00:39:21,835
you know, captain Crunch, you know, which is

1150
00:39:21,835 --> 00:39:23,682
probably, you know, and crunch and boulder candidates

1151
00:39:23,682 --> 00:39:25,111
on the toughest trails in the country in

1152
00:39:25,111 --> 00:39:26,167
my opinion. And,

1153
00:39:26,540 --> 00:39:28,287
you know, did those with leaf Springs. You

1154
00:39:28,287 --> 00:39:30,034
know, a 4 runner on leaf Springs. Mh,

1155
00:39:30,114 --> 00:39:31,702
you know, At granted, I want 1 tons.

1156
00:39:32,511 --> 00:39:32,828
But

1157
00:39:33,702 --> 00:39:35,845
but, you know, so you don't have to

1158
00:39:35,845 --> 00:39:37,298
have the fanciest

1159
00:39:37,671 --> 00:39:40,053
suspension, and that's why I was motivated to

1160
00:39:40,053 --> 00:39:41,029
build that rig

1161
00:39:41,419 --> 00:39:43,177
on as much of a budget as I

1162
00:39:43,177 --> 00:39:44,455
could, You know, and you can pick those

1163
00:39:44,455 --> 00:39:45,893
s tens up. You can still pick them

1164
00:39:45,893 --> 00:39:47,971
up cheap, Like, they're just cheap trucks, and

1165
00:39:47,971 --> 00:39:50,456
they got a decent flat form Drivetrain train

1166
00:39:50,456 --> 00:39:53,080
wise. You know, you got, you know, 4.3

1167
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,227
you know, and then depending on your transmission,

1168
00:39:55,386 --> 00:39:57,709
you know, a decent a decent 5 speed

1169
00:39:57,709 --> 00:39:59,626
or or the 700 R 4 and then

1170
00:39:59,626 --> 00:40:02,263
at 02:31, which 02:30 ones are, you know,

1171
00:40:02,343 --> 00:40:03,621
they've held up to a lot of stuff.

1172
00:40:03,861 --> 00:40:05,951
You know, they're not the strongest transfer case

1173
00:40:05,951 --> 00:40:07,865
in the world by any means. But usually,

1174
00:40:08,025 --> 00:40:09,700
when guys break them, it's because of 1

1175
00:40:09,700 --> 00:40:11,853
or 2 things that they're bolts are loose

1176
00:40:11,853 --> 00:40:13,130
or they didn't have fluid in it.

1177
00:40:13,927 --> 00:40:14,405
Right. Yeah.

1178
00:40:15,139 --> 00:40:17,213
Yeah. The the 4 3 is such an

1179
00:40:17,213 --> 00:40:17,713
awesome,

1180
00:40:18,889 --> 00:40:19,389
engine

1181
00:40:19,846 --> 00:40:22,021
power source too. It's a it's

1182
00:40:22,414 --> 00:40:24,748
I wish that it would... There was more

1183
00:40:25,206 --> 00:40:26,641
stuff written out there about how to put

1184
00:40:26,641 --> 00:40:28,077
the 4 3 and utilize it in other

1185
00:40:28,077 --> 00:40:28,476
vehicles.

1186
00:40:29,114 --> 00:40:31,347
Right. Yeah. And it's what's funny too is

1187
00:40:31,347 --> 00:40:33,588
like the throttle body is the same as

1188
00:40:33,588 --> 00:40:34,302
the 03:50.

1189
00:40:34,619 --> 00:40:37,000
The... The 4 3 is a chevy 03:50

1190
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,824
minus 2 cylinders. Same bore stroke.

1191
00:40:39,538 --> 00:40:42,735
Same, you, like, same connecting rods, same valve,

1192
00:40:42,894 --> 00:40:44,964
same everything. Everything else is the same. It's

1193
00:40:44,964 --> 00:40:46,875
just short 2 cylinders, You know, And you

1194
00:40:46,875 --> 00:40:47,693
talk about,

1195
00:40:48,069 --> 00:40:48,228
like,

1196
00:40:49,359 --> 00:40:51,434
You know, like, when Tracy Jordan was competing

1197
00:40:51,434 --> 00:40:53,691
in in We rock, and

1198
00:40:54,069 --> 00:40:55,506
he had that what they call that the

1199
00:40:55,666 --> 00:40:58,001
Sc motor that was an Ls,

1200
00:40:58,633 --> 00:41:00,461
that was chopped in half. You know, there's

1201
00:41:00,461 --> 00:41:02,210
he was we're still in AV4

1202
00:41:02,210 --> 00:41:04,674
ls. Wow. And it's, like, no wonder, he

1203
00:41:04,674 --> 00:41:07,161
was just dominating. You're talking about an aluminum

1204
00:41:07,456 --> 00:41:09,941
that chop in half that can has tons

1205
00:41:09,941 --> 00:41:11,694
of power. Yeah. And you have all the

1206
00:41:11,694 --> 00:41:14,325
great engineering because, I mean, you know, you

1207
00:41:14,325 --> 00:41:16,172
can you can love or hate know, I'm

1208
00:41:16,172 --> 00:41:17,920
not a vehicle P by any means. I

1209
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:18,874
I think there's a great...

1210
00:41:19,510 --> 00:41:21,577
I think every company has great and bad

1211
00:41:21,577 --> 00:41:22,951
stuff. Mh. And

1212
00:41:23,499 --> 00:41:23,817
you know,

1213
00:41:24,613 --> 00:41:26,602
I'm sorry, but an Ls, anybody can take

1214
00:41:26,602 --> 00:41:29,069
an L, And you see these kids, you

1215
00:41:29,069 --> 00:41:30,740
know, what? They'll grab a, you know, a

1216
00:41:30,740 --> 00:41:31,933
250000

1217
00:41:31,933 --> 00:41:32,433
mile

1218
00:41:32,824 --> 00:41:35,076
throw a couple Chinese spool boys on there

1219
00:41:35,133 --> 00:41:36,884
and just go rip down the road and

1220
00:41:36,884 --> 00:41:38,317
give it all the beans and the thing

1221
00:41:38,317 --> 00:41:40,068
is still holding up, You know, which is

1222
00:41:40,068 --> 00:41:42,073
crazy to me. Yeah. It's pretty nuts. Have

1223
00:41:42,073 --> 00:41:44,221
you have you seen the new 4 cylinder

1224
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:44,619
Ls?

1225
00:41:45,732 --> 00:41:47,934
I don't think Have actually no. It's it's

1226
00:41:48,372 --> 00:41:48,872
very

1227
00:41:49,405 --> 00:41:52,028
impressive. The stats that they're claiming from it.

1228
00:41:52,267 --> 00:41:52,903
It's something like,

1229
00:41:53,777 --> 00:41:54,970
450

1230
00:41:54,970 --> 00:41:55,470
horsepower.

1231
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,889
And, like, Oh, was a 350

1232
00:41:58,889 --> 00:42:00,730
foot pound torque, 300. So I don't have

1233
00:42:00,730 --> 00:42:03,289
semi rather there. And it's it's very... And

1234
00:42:03,289 --> 00:42:03,609
it's, like,

1235
00:42:04,329 --> 00:42:04,829
aluminum

1236
00:42:05,223 --> 00:42:08,082
based blocking and everything. It's super lightweight twin

1237
00:42:08,082 --> 00:42:11,180
turbo, I believe. It's... I'm I'm interested to

1238
00:42:11,180 --> 00:42:12,530
see it as a crate motor and see

1239
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:14,539
what people do with it because it's it's

1240
00:42:14,929 --> 00:42:15,668
it looks

1241
00:42:16,125 --> 00:42:17,960
pretty phenomenal, but I haven't heard of anybody

1242
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,315
getting 1 yet and doing anything with it.

1243
00:42:19,475 --> 00:42:21,628
So... Yeah. They're probably a out of the

1244
00:42:21,628 --> 00:42:22,905
price range of most of us that are...

1245
00:42:23,144 --> 00:42:24,260
They would wanna do some.

1246
00:42:24,754 --> 00:42:27,380
But. Right? Yeah. That's... I mean, that's, like,

1247
00:42:27,539 --> 00:42:30,164
my perfect my perfect tow truck we would

1248
00:42:30,164 --> 00:42:32,328
be a ford king ranch cab with cummins

1249
00:42:32,328 --> 00:42:34,321
and an Alison. So I'd make every curious.

1250
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:34,879
Yeah.

1251
00:42:37,031 --> 00:42:37,430
For that.

1252
00:42:38,546 --> 00:42:41,513
Oh, it's funny. So the s 10 actually,

1253
00:42:41,753 --> 00:42:44,469
won, the build challenge last year. So you

1254
00:42:44,469 --> 00:42:46,946
were... Want... I want you to give us

1255
00:42:46,946 --> 00:42:49,351
a quick rundown of the build of the

1256
00:42:49,431 --> 00:42:51,021
S 10, what you kinda did with it.

1257
00:42:51,418 --> 00:42:52,077
And then

1258
00:42:52,611 --> 00:42:55,393
talk a wee bit about the off road

1259
00:42:55,393 --> 00:42:55,712
challenge.

1260
00:42:56,364 --> 00:42:58,839
Yeah. So the way... The way... The only

1261
00:42:58,839 --> 00:43:00,196
way I could figure I could sell it

1262
00:43:00,196 --> 00:43:02,512
on bleep and Jeep was using Jeep Leaf

1263
00:43:02,512 --> 00:43:03,789
spring, So I went with

1264
00:43:04,348 --> 00:43:05,705
GYJ

1265
00:43:05,705 --> 00:43:08,184
front springs. Yep. And that was my selling

1266
00:43:08,184 --> 00:43:10,726
point for that. And then, obviously, kinda pitching

1267
00:43:10,726 --> 00:43:13,348
that, like, the 5 speeds are kinda interchangeable.

1268
00:43:13,428 --> 00:43:15,588
And the 02:30 ones are kind of interchangeable.

1269
00:43:15,747 --> 00:43:17,416
The front parts are different, but the guts

1270
00:43:17,416 --> 00:43:19,561
are the same. And so I went with

1271
00:43:19,561 --> 00:43:21,469
old school stuff, ma'am, my brother and I,

1272
00:43:22,199 --> 00:43:23,949
you know, pirate 4 by 4,

1273
00:43:24,903 --> 00:43:26,256
you know, there's was a guy that used

1274
00:43:26,256 --> 00:43:28,506
to make 02:31 double, and

1275
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,925
that's what we did on his sonoma was

1276
00:43:31,044 --> 00:43:33,186
02:31 double. And so that's what I did

1277
00:43:33,186 --> 00:43:35,328
on this was, you know, dual up cases,

1278
00:43:35,567 --> 00:43:37,630
which is, you know, super common for most

1279
00:43:37,630 --> 00:43:40,273
people with 5 speed transmission Toyota guys, you

1280
00:43:40,273 --> 00:43:42,186
know, they'll they'll do triple k stuff. So

1281
00:43:42,186 --> 00:43:44,737
that's common there. And and, you know, and

1282
00:43:44,737 --> 00:43:46,491
same with my samurai, you know, both my

1283
00:43:46,491 --> 00:43:49,367
samurai had dual cases and they're both manuals

1284
00:43:49,367 --> 00:43:51,828
as well. But but... Yeah. So, you know,

1285
00:43:52,067 --> 00:43:53,893
the the 02:30 ones, I think we're a

1286
00:43:53,893 --> 00:43:55,815
big hit. That really brought back. There's a

1287
00:43:55,815 --> 00:43:58,302
company Fro now that makes those. And

1288
00:43:58,755 --> 00:44:00,424
and I bought it. You know, I didn't

1289
00:44:00,424 --> 00:44:02,594
ask him for a discount or nothing, and

1290
00:44:03,143 --> 00:44:04,816
just bought it and ordered it and, you

1291
00:44:04,816 --> 00:44:06,728
know, and saw what... How, how it showed

1292
00:44:06,728 --> 00:44:09,516
up. And, you know, he was I was

1293
00:44:09,516 --> 00:44:11,190
almost getting worried that it wasn't gonna show

1294
00:44:11,190 --> 00:44:12,360
up, and I was gonna have to have

1295
00:44:12,479 --> 00:44:14,391
machine shop make it because he was not

1296
00:44:14,391 --> 00:44:16,303
responsive on emails. He was... I was like,

1297
00:44:16,463 --> 00:44:18,295
this is... Is this the same dude that

1298
00:44:18,295 --> 00:44:19,650
used to be on pirate? Because he was

1299
00:44:19,650 --> 00:44:21,083
the same way. Like, you would call him

1300
00:44:21,083 --> 00:44:22,014
and he wouldn't answer...

1301
00:44:22,609 --> 00:44:24,513
Yeah. It's gonna ship out tomorrow and then

1302
00:44:24,513 --> 00:44:26,893
4 months later, it ships since. And

1303
00:44:27,765 --> 00:44:29,193
but, you, you know, it ended up showing

1304
00:44:29,193 --> 00:44:30,090
up, and

1305
00:44:30,639 --> 00:44:32,659
And then I, you know, did that, and,

1306
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,460
you know, I found a junkyard axles. So

1307
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,159
the the front 60 was

1308
00:44:38,574 --> 00:44:40,248
you know, it was a snow fighter, you

1309
00:44:40,248 --> 00:44:42,580
know, the 78 79, which is a rare

1310
00:44:42,638 --> 00:44:43,594
a rare 60.

1311
00:44:44,311 --> 00:44:46,940
And usually, people want stupid money for those.

1312
00:44:47,259 --> 00:44:47,759
Fortunately,

1313
00:44:48,787 --> 00:44:51,251
mine like, the... They were worried that it

1314
00:44:51,251 --> 00:44:54,193
might have been bent or twisted because it

1315
00:44:54,193 --> 00:44:56,203
wasn't a bad fire. Like, there was

1316
00:44:56,514 --> 00:44:58,764
everything was melted on it, and it was

1317
00:44:59,059 --> 00:45:00,434
the second worst

1318
00:45:01,206 --> 00:45:02,877
smell at... When I pulled that diff cover,

1319
00:45:03,449 --> 00:45:04,808
You know like, you're old doesn't smell that

1320
00:45:04,808 --> 00:45:07,206
great anyway, but it was the second worst

1321
00:45:07,206 --> 00:45:08,724
1. Like, I was gag off it And

1322
00:45:08,724 --> 00:45:10,802
the worst 1II swear the person pooped in

1323
00:45:10,802 --> 00:45:13,373
it. Like, I'm I'm just... I'm swear.

1324
00:45:13,931 --> 00:45:16,324
It was a guy he... It had some

1325
00:45:16,324 --> 00:45:19,195
other dude, another company put the the gears

1326
00:45:19,195 --> 00:45:21,109
in, and he kept bringing it back to

1327
00:45:21,109 --> 00:45:23,198
him, and then it was, like, and it

1328
00:45:23,198 --> 00:45:24,474
kept... They kept putting them in wrong or,

1329
00:45:24,634 --> 00:45:25,910
you know, mess them up, mess them up.

1330
00:45:26,468 --> 00:45:28,542
And I'm pretty sure those people actually literally

1331
00:45:28,542 --> 00:45:30,057
pooped in it, put the cover back on

1332
00:45:30,057 --> 00:45:31,334
and just send them down the road and

1333
00:45:31,334 --> 00:45:32,291
until gave the finger.

1334
00:45:32,944 --> 00:45:33,983
That's why you came to me and then

1335
00:45:34,063 --> 00:45:35,422
I pulled off the, you know, the poop

1336
00:45:35,422 --> 00:45:37,260
diff, I think. But but... Yeah.

1337
00:45:38,219 --> 00:45:40,377
Like, there's a new pre everybody's at camp.

1338
00:45:40,537 --> 00:45:42,155
Right? Particularly. So

1339
00:45:42,948 --> 00:45:44,702
So, yeah, you know, that was

1340
00:45:45,419 --> 00:45:47,911
it was a nasty, nasty rebuild

1341
00:45:48,288 --> 00:45:50,121
to rebuild that 60, but, you know,

1342
00:45:50,774 --> 00:45:52,528
that was 1 of the things. Like, Yukon

1343
00:45:52,528 --> 00:45:54,682
was 1 of the title, you know, title

1344
00:45:54,682 --> 00:45:58,032
sponsors, they're elite member for for On. So

1345
00:45:58,271 --> 00:46:00,367
you know, I could get every single part

1346
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:03,140
that I needed for it. And the rebuild

1347
00:46:03,140 --> 00:46:05,307
stuff, as far as the rebuild parts go

1348
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,904
don't didn't count towards your build on the

1349
00:46:07,904 --> 00:46:08,953
on that. So.

1350
00:46:09,670 --> 00:46:11,663
I could get, like, King pens. I I

1351
00:46:11,663 --> 00:46:13,895
actually charge that to the build anyway, but,

1352
00:46:13,974 --> 00:46:15,649
like, you know, I I could get the

1353
00:46:15,728 --> 00:46:18,058
King Henry rebuild and, you know, breaks and

1354
00:46:18,058 --> 00:46:18,697
all that stuff.

1355
00:46:19,416 --> 00:46:21,733
And re... You know, So I rebuilt that

1356
00:46:21,733 --> 00:46:24,310
axle, you know, inside out, and then

1357
00:46:24,781 --> 00:46:26,370
and, you know, checked it, and it was

1358
00:46:26,370 --> 00:46:27,402
true. You know, I didn't have to worry

1359
00:46:27,402 --> 00:46:28,911
about it being in dent or nothing, so

1360
00:46:28,911 --> 00:46:31,135
that worked out. And then, you know, kinda

1361
00:46:31,135 --> 00:46:32,327
went on a budget with it.

1362
00:46:32,980 --> 00:46:34,579
You know, I've changed the shafts out since,

1363
00:46:34,740 --> 00:46:36,740
but went with a, you know, I only

1364
00:46:36,740 --> 00:46:39,140
did the outer stubs, the 35 sp outer

1365
00:46:39,140 --> 00:46:41,235
stubs Because maybe a lot of people don't

1366
00:46:41,235 --> 00:46:43,075
know this, but, like, Dana sixties, a lot

1367
00:46:43,075 --> 00:46:45,235
of them are 30 sp out. Mh. And

1368
00:46:45,235 --> 00:46:46,835
they are usually the first thing to break.

1369
00:46:47,315 --> 00:46:48,614
And then the second thing

1370
00:46:48,994 --> 00:46:50,923
the lockout. So that's why I went with

1371
00:46:50,923 --> 00:46:53,945
the 35 sp outer and then the and

1372
00:46:53,945 --> 00:46:55,298
then the Uc yukon lockout.

1373
00:46:55,855 --> 00:46:58,015
You know, So I broke, you know, I

1374
00:46:58,015 --> 00:47:00,317
broke pretty much every lockout out there. In

1375
00:47:00,317 --> 00:47:02,618
fact, I've even broke 1 Yukon lockout, but

1376
00:47:02,697 --> 00:47:04,047
I won't blame Yukon for it.

1377
00:47:04,778 --> 00:47:06,773
I had a, a shaft that was too

1378
00:47:06,773 --> 00:47:09,007
long and it actually caught the lockout because

1379
00:47:09,007 --> 00:47:11,321
the Yukon lockout sit inward, and it caught

1380
00:47:11,321 --> 00:47:13,410
the lockout caught at, like, 40 miles an

1381
00:47:13,410 --> 00:47:16,042
hour. James just ram jammed it. Yeah. It

1382
00:47:16,042 --> 00:47:17,956
made it made a pretty rad noise too.

1383
00:47:18,196 --> 00:47:20,429
So I all that bad. And I told

1384
00:47:20,429 --> 00:47:21,306
probably locked up.

1385
00:47:22,199 --> 00:47:22,516
And

1386
00:47:23,312 --> 00:47:25,062
yeah. It it it broke it pretty good,

1387
00:47:25,221 --> 00:47:26,574
but it cooked it at the same time.

1388
00:47:26,812 --> 00:47:28,903
But then the rear 14 bolt

1389
00:47:29,454 --> 00:47:32,014
actually had an Ar ar b and 05:13

1390
00:47:32,014 --> 00:47:33,775
gears in it. Wow. And I got it.

1391
00:47:34,255 --> 00:47:35,234
The guy wanted

1392
00:47:35,534 --> 00:47:37,066
a thousand bucks and he was up in

1393
00:47:37,145 --> 00:47:39,452
Bismarck, North Dakota. This is the time. Nobody

1394
00:47:39,452 --> 00:47:39,850
wants to go.

1395
00:47:40,646 --> 00:47:43,112
Go right that. Yeah. And and

1396
00:47:43,844 --> 00:47:44,882
I was like, man, that's a good deal,

1397
00:47:45,042 --> 00:47:47,117
but, you know, had crane cover disc brakes,

1398
00:47:47,597 --> 00:47:49,433
and I was like, yeah. I don't know.

1399
00:47:50,072 --> 00:47:51,748
And then he dropped to 800 bucks. Then

1400
00:47:51,748 --> 00:47:53,025
he dropped it to 600 bucks.

1401
00:47:53,599 --> 00:47:55,358
And I was like, okay. I have a

1402
00:47:55,358 --> 00:47:56,876
buddy that lives in Bismarck. I should at

1403
00:47:56,876 --> 00:47:58,155
least call them and have him go look

1404
00:47:58,155 --> 00:48:00,472
at this thing. And it was exactly like

1405
00:48:00,552 --> 00:48:02,390
I expected. It had... It did have an

1406
00:48:02,470 --> 00:48:03,050
Air ar

1407
00:48:03,443 --> 00:48:06,088
that the seals were no good. It had

1408
00:48:06,543 --> 00:48:08,688
it had gears that weren't set up right.

1409
00:48:09,086 --> 00:48:10,699
You know, It had all the stuff

1410
00:48:11,010 --> 00:48:12,449
But it, you know, it's like, okay. I

1411
00:48:12,449 --> 00:48:14,369
gotta rebuild this as well. So it it

1412
00:48:14,369 --> 00:48:16,690
was 1 of those situations where, you know,

1413
00:48:16,849 --> 00:48:18,769
I had to rebuild the entire thing, and

1414
00:48:18,769 --> 00:48:21,201
then and then put it back together. But

1415
00:48:21,659 --> 00:48:23,255
since then, you know, I've probably put...

1416
00:48:24,292 --> 00:48:25,271
Gosh, maybe

1417
00:48:25,649 --> 00:48:27,245
15000 miles on that s 10,

1418
00:48:27,819 --> 00:48:30,453
you know, leaf sprung. You know, I showed

1419
00:48:30,453 --> 00:48:32,687
people, you know, like, you guys probably know

1420
00:48:32,687 --> 00:48:34,204
us being Toyota guys. You're, like, the old

1421
00:48:34,204 --> 00:48:35,934
school train of thought with Toyota just make

1422
00:48:36,054 --> 00:48:37,490
know, make your rear shocks into a v.

1423
00:48:37,650 --> 00:48:40,122
Mh. You know, reverse v. Mh. And then,

1424
00:48:40,441 --> 00:48:42,036
you know, you'll get more flex, but it

1425
00:48:42,036 --> 00:48:44,429
rides, like, trash and it doesn't actually help

1426
00:48:44,429 --> 00:48:46,517
your suspension at all. So, like, making your,

1427
00:48:46,597 --> 00:48:48,351
you know, your chalk straight and getting them

1428
00:48:48,351 --> 00:48:50,264
in the outside of your frame rail as

1429
00:48:50,264 --> 00:48:51,460
close to the outside of your frame rails

1430
00:48:51,460 --> 00:48:53,851
as you can. And just stuff like that

1431
00:48:53,851 --> 00:48:56,979
and you know, moving my... Going down with

1432
00:48:56,979 --> 00:48:57,479
1

1433
00:48:58,097 --> 00:49:01,210
1 break line up upfront, and then and

1434
00:49:01,210 --> 00:49:03,466
then running hard lines across my

1435
00:49:04,016 --> 00:49:06,398
across my axle and then doing soft lines

1436
00:49:06,398 --> 00:49:07,669
right at the call.

1437
00:49:08,066 --> 00:49:10,369
So you don't catch twig and rocks. Mh.

1438
00:49:10,607 --> 00:49:12,433
That's a that's a huge 1. I see

1439
00:49:12,433 --> 00:49:12,933
that

1440
00:49:13,243 --> 00:49:15,414
May I I didn't run into that problem

1441
00:49:15,471 --> 00:49:17,142
until I went up to South Dakota. So

1442
00:49:17,142 --> 00:49:19,211
south Dakota has a lot... They get a

1443
00:49:19,211 --> 00:49:21,378
lot of down trees. In the winter. So

1444
00:49:21,378 --> 00:49:23,296
in the summer, like, you know, because they

1445
00:49:23,296 --> 00:49:25,213
close the trails from November to May. So

1446
00:49:25,213 --> 00:49:26,891
when you get out there in May, and

1447
00:49:26,891 --> 00:49:27,870
you're hitting trails

1448
00:49:28,422 --> 00:49:30,805
early on, there's just tons of debris that

1449
00:49:30,805 --> 00:49:32,791
comes up and tries to stab your tires

1450
00:49:32,791 --> 00:49:35,039
or rip out brake lines. So that was

1451
00:49:35,348 --> 00:49:37,015
something I actually talked about that I learned

1452
00:49:37,015 --> 00:49:39,636
from, Jason Paul actually. Hey. You should move

1453
00:49:39,636 --> 00:49:41,780
your brake lines down, you know, single on

1454
00:49:41,780 --> 00:49:43,703
it down the middle and then kick him

1455
00:49:43,703 --> 00:49:45,219
off and then just have a tiny little

1456
00:49:45,219 --> 00:49:47,691
break line for your steering. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah.

1457
00:49:48,249 --> 00:49:48,568
Cool.

1458
00:49:49,127 --> 00:49:50,722
So how was the how was the build

1459
00:49:50,722 --> 00:49:52,397
challenge then with the S 10? And how

1460
00:49:52,397 --> 00:49:54,482
did it do what kind of the the

1461
00:49:54,482 --> 00:49:56,550
contests you guys were competing in and how

1462
00:49:56,550 --> 00:49:58,380
did you feel that you... How'd did you

1463
00:49:58,380 --> 00:49:59,812
feel the S 10 was gonna do versus

1464
00:49:59,812 --> 00:50:01,641
how it actually did in the contest?

1465
00:50:02,293 --> 00:50:04,121
Well, 1 of the things that I I

1466
00:50:04,121 --> 00:50:05,552
knew is I was looking at...

1467
00:50:06,267 --> 00:50:07,778
I was looking at what Nate was doing.

1468
00:50:08,096 --> 00:50:09,606
And I was like, man, you know, he's

1469
00:50:09,606 --> 00:50:11,688
gonna... You, he's running a solid platform form.

1470
00:50:11,926 --> 00:50:14,626
Mh. You know, a a land cruiser already

1471
00:50:14,626 --> 00:50:16,294
coil. You know, it's already linked.

1472
00:50:16,929 --> 00:50:18,755
You know, run an Rc shafts in it.

1473
00:50:18,914 --> 00:50:20,343
I'm like, this is gonna be a good

1474
00:50:20,343 --> 00:50:22,265
rig. And I didn't know... You know, we

1475
00:50:22,265 --> 00:50:23,615
didn't know where we were going yet.

1476
00:50:24,330 --> 00:50:25,681
I wanted to just have fun.

1477
00:50:26,316 --> 00:50:27,428
You know, I wanted it to be more

1478
00:50:27,428 --> 00:50:29,175
fun and that guys got a little serious

1479
00:50:29,175 --> 00:50:30,739
with it. I wanted to just be more

1480
00:50:30,859 --> 00:50:31,599
fun. Now

1481
00:50:31,977 --> 00:50:34,212
I did have... I... Although I'd had never

1482
00:50:34,212 --> 00:50:37,085
done those specific trails and Mont, I did

1483
00:50:37,085 --> 00:50:38,922
have some home field advantage wheel and Mont,

1484
00:50:39,081 --> 00:50:41,511
and I feel like Probably wield some harder

1485
00:50:41,569 --> 00:50:42,069
trails

1486
00:50:42,686 --> 00:50:45,318
than those guys had seen before, Mh. Just

1487
00:50:45,318 --> 00:50:45,818
from

1488
00:50:46,195 --> 00:50:48,190
wheel harder trails. I was in into hardcore

1489
00:50:48,190 --> 00:50:49,567
rock crawling. And

1490
00:50:50,039 --> 00:50:51,155
And so... And actually,

1491
00:50:51,953 --> 00:50:54,344
way back in the day, when you rock

1492
00:50:54,344 --> 00:50:56,497
existed, I was a spotter in You rock

1493
00:50:56,497 --> 00:50:57,853
too for a team Effing and Zoo suzuki.

1494
00:50:58,092 --> 00:50:59,860
So I was like, I spotted in that.

1495
00:51:00,019 --> 00:51:02,248
My buddy Sheldon was a driver, and I

1496
00:51:02,248 --> 00:51:03,601
spotted for him a few times as well.

1497
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,228
So there was there was that. So I

1498
00:51:06,228 --> 00:51:06,728
had

1499
00:51:07,038 --> 00:51:10,378
you know, some competitive rock crawling experience on

1500
00:51:10,378 --> 00:51:11,911
top of that. But

1501
00:51:12,286 --> 00:51:14,114
they s 10 exactly like I thought, you

1502
00:51:14,114 --> 00:51:15,705
know, it's leaf sprung rig so you have

1503
00:51:15,705 --> 00:51:17,862
to drive it like a leaf sprung. Yep

1504
00:51:17,942 --> 00:51:19,844
You know, I did some things that were,

1505
00:51:19,924 --> 00:51:21,588
you know, prepped for it, you know, making

1506
00:51:21,588 --> 00:51:22,857
the bottom of flat belly,

1507
00:51:23,491 --> 00:51:23,991
and

1508
00:51:24,458 --> 00:51:26,527
and, you know, going 1 tons, I think

1509
00:51:26,527 --> 00:51:29,072
is at advantageous, you know. I think Nate

1510
00:51:29,072 --> 00:51:31,140
was, you know, still, you know, Toyota Axles,

1511
00:51:31,473 --> 00:51:32,587
you can build them as strong as you

1512
00:51:32,587 --> 00:51:34,337
want. You're on 40 inch tall tires.

1513
00:51:35,053 --> 00:51:36,564
You gotta drive, like, you know, just like,

1514
00:51:36,723 --> 00:51:38,888
building, a, you know, anything. Know, you... You...

1515
00:51:39,047 --> 00:51:40,164
If you don't put 1 tons in it,

1516
00:51:40,323 --> 00:51:41,838
you gotta drive it like the axles that

1517
00:51:41,838 --> 00:51:43,774
are underneath it. Yeah. And

1518
00:51:44,151 --> 00:51:45,906
so you gotta prepare for that. I like

1519
00:51:45,906 --> 00:51:47,044
being over built

1520
00:51:47,421 --> 00:51:49,275
for from what I'm doing. And then I

1521
00:51:49,275 --> 00:51:50,554
don't have to worry about it. So that

1522
00:51:50,554 --> 00:51:52,554
was kinda of my theory with the s

1523
00:51:52,554 --> 00:51:52,795
10.

1524
00:51:53,514 --> 00:51:54,014
And,

1525
00:51:54,315 --> 00:51:56,244
you know, I I did get a little

1526
00:51:56,244 --> 00:51:57,834
bit, a seat time in it. I didn't

1527
00:51:57,834 --> 00:51:59,106
really get to wheel it, but I got

1528
00:51:59,106 --> 00:52:00,298
the flex it. I got to drive it.

1529
00:52:00,457 --> 00:52:02,286
I drove it around. I drove the s

1530
00:52:02,286 --> 00:52:04,684
10 around. We'll get for even building it

1531
00:52:04,684 --> 00:52:06,590
to make sure that it was halfway dependable.

1532
00:52:06,828 --> 00:52:08,416
It didn't have a collapse lower radiator hose.

1533
00:52:09,051 --> 00:52:09,846
Yeah. Right.

1534
00:52:10,798 --> 00:52:12,802
And you know, our a blown head gasket

1535
00:52:12,802 --> 00:52:13,836
like naked that.

1536
00:52:14,711 --> 00:52:16,143
You know, so it was unfortunate for him.

1537
00:52:16,302 --> 00:52:18,609
But, you know, and I saw what Rudy

1538
00:52:18,609 --> 00:52:20,934
was taken on and and know, I was

1539
00:52:20,934 --> 00:52:22,215
like, well, he's got a lift and he

1540
00:52:22,215 --> 00:52:23,894
has a plasma table, so he can do

1541
00:52:23,894 --> 00:52:25,574
a lot more things and I I had

1542
00:52:25,574 --> 00:52:27,894
the ability to do in my single car

1543
00:52:27,894 --> 00:52:28,135
garage.

1544
00:52:28,695 --> 00:52:29,829
You you know, a lot of people don't

1545
00:52:29,829 --> 00:52:32,389
realize too when you're setting up length suspensions.

1546
00:52:33,030 --> 00:52:35,110
You gotta tune those, you know, especially with

1547
00:52:35,110 --> 00:52:36,550
coil overs. Like, it takes a little time.

1548
00:52:36,710 --> 00:52:38,155
It's... You're, you know, you're tuning it, you're

1549
00:52:38,155 --> 00:52:40,221
working it your flexing in it, and it's

1550
00:52:40,221 --> 00:52:42,231
a lot of work. And so,

1551
00:52:42,684 --> 00:52:44,694
you know, that's that's some of the stuff

1552
00:52:44,989 --> 00:52:45,489
that

1553
00:52:45,798 --> 00:52:47,469
why, I was just kinda sticking with the

1554
00:52:47,469 --> 00:52:49,298
kiss method, you know, keep it simple stupid.

1555
00:52:49,536 --> 00:52:50,650
Mh. And

1556
00:52:51,525 --> 00:52:52,957
you know, I was I was prepared for

1557
00:52:52,957 --> 00:52:53,832
it to do well.

1558
00:52:54,404 --> 00:52:56,555
You know, when we went to Mont, I

1559
00:52:56,555 --> 00:52:58,627
was not prepared. I was I was like,

1560
00:52:58,786 --> 00:53:01,415
man, we were doing stuff that, like, this

1561
00:53:01,415 --> 00:53:03,248
was supposed to be kind of an overland

1562
00:53:03,248 --> 00:53:05,097
trip, and we're doing stuff, that is definitely

1563
00:53:05,097 --> 00:53:07,329
not. There's no overland running in any trailing

1564
00:53:07,329 --> 00:53:07,808
in Mont.

1565
00:53:08,526 --> 00:53:11,157
Hands down. Like, there's just not. So that

1566
00:53:11,157 --> 00:53:13,013
was 1 of the things that I definitely

1567
00:53:13,071 --> 00:53:13,571
was

1568
00:53:14,045 --> 00:53:15,724
like, well, we're gonna do some hardcore wheel.

1569
00:53:15,965 --> 00:53:17,644
You know, like, this is legit. We're gonna

1570
00:53:17,644 --> 00:53:19,264
give you some hardcore stuff. So

1571
00:53:19,565 --> 00:53:21,416
this year this year is to be a

1572
00:53:21,416 --> 00:53:23,320
little different. We're doing a trail though that

1573
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,065
is on my bucket list. It's been on

1574
00:53:25,065 --> 00:53:27,048
my bucket list for a long time for

1575
00:53:27,048 --> 00:53:30,012
my buggy. Supposed So I'm curious how this

1576
00:53:30,012 --> 00:53:32,489
is gonna play out. But Mh. I am

1577
00:53:32,489 --> 00:53:32,989
excited,

1578
00:53:33,368 --> 00:53:35,925
you know, moving forward. You know, the ended

1579
00:53:35,925 --> 00:53:37,849
great. And it's still doing great. I still

1580
00:53:37,849 --> 00:53:40,313
use it regularly. Mh used it as my

1581
00:53:40,313 --> 00:53:42,618
lumber truck as my daily driver, you know,

1582
00:53:42,777 --> 00:53:43,572
it has Ac,

1583
00:53:44,143 --> 00:53:46,530
Like, it it does it does great. So

1584
00:53:46,689 --> 00:53:48,757
I'm... I can't be upset. You know, 1

1585
00:53:48,757 --> 00:53:50,507
thing I would like to do in the

1586
00:53:50,507 --> 00:53:52,178
future is I'd like to make a bed

1587
00:53:52,178 --> 00:53:52,496
for it.

1588
00:53:53,228 --> 00:53:54,422
And a flatbed?

1589
00:53:55,060 --> 00:53:57,631
Yeah. Well, kind of. I wanna make a

1590
00:53:57,768 --> 00:53:59,702
utilitarian bed. So it'd be more

1591
00:54:00,414 --> 00:54:02,894
a little everything. Like, I wanna have toolbox,

1592
00:54:03,375 --> 00:54:06,094
integrated toolbox and and have my tire placed

1593
00:54:06,094 --> 00:54:08,434
a little different. Still have a cooler and

1594
00:54:08,669 --> 00:54:09,546
I don't want it just to be, like,

1595
00:54:09,626 --> 00:54:11,779
a simple flatbed with some boxes mounted on

1596
00:54:11,779 --> 00:54:13,374
it or something, But I want it to

1597
00:54:13,374 --> 00:54:14,911
be like a a legit

1598
00:54:15,368 --> 00:54:17,681
utilitarian bed that has, you know, hook points

1599
00:54:17,681 --> 00:54:18,181
and

1600
00:54:18,571 --> 00:54:20,553
and just things that I can do with

1601
00:54:20,553 --> 00:54:20,790
that.

1602
00:54:21,504 --> 00:54:23,723
The... As far as the the rest of

1603
00:54:23,723 --> 00:54:25,411
it, you know, it wouldn't hurt

1604
00:54:25,799 --> 00:54:27,713
You know, I put a big transmission cooler

1605
00:54:27,713 --> 00:54:29,229
on it, and so it holds a lot

1606
00:54:29,229 --> 00:54:30,585
more fluid, but it wouldn't hurt, you know,

1607
00:54:30,744 --> 00:54:33,217
it had... It's got 230000

1608
00:54:33,217 --> 00:54:35,664
miles on it. Probably wouldn't hurt get another

1609
00:54:35,943 --> 00:54:38,097
another motor and another transmission 1 day and

1610
00:54:38,097 --> 00:54:39,613
just put them in. Mh. I mean, right

1611
00:54:39,613 --> 00:54:41,367
now, they're still working just fine, but I

1612
00:54:41,367 --> 00:54:42,963
wouldn't mind doing that. I'd like to make

1613
00:54:42,963 --> 00:54:44,797
a trip to Alaska, Alaska has been on

1614
00:54:44,797 --> 00:54:46,803
my bucket list. That's on my budget list

1615
00:54:46,803 --> 00:54:48,712
too. I'm like... Yeah. I'd like to drive

1616
00:54:48,712 --> 00:54:49,189
it. So

1617
00:54:49,905 --> 00:54:51,655
To do that, I think it'd be nice

1618
00:54:51,655 --> 00:54:53,422
just to have all new. New parts. You

1619
00:54:53,422 --> 00:54:55,176
know, everything else behind that, You know, I

1620
00:54:55,415 --> 00:54:57,248
I've built... You know, I rebuilt both of

1621
00:54:57,248 --> 00:54:59,321
those transfer cases, and I rebuilt the axles.

1622
00:54:59,481 --> 00:55:01,210
So they're all new. You know, they got

1623
00:55:01,409 --> 00:55:03,245
20, 30000 miles on them, but it wouldn't

1624
00:55:03,245 --> 00:55:05,161
hurt to probably put a motor and transmission

1625
00:55:05,161 --> 00:55:07,078
in it. Cool. For the future. But, yeah,

1626
00:55:07,157 --> 00:55:08,674
it did really well. You know, it it

1627
00:55:08,674 --> 00:55:10,851
worked really good on the trails and

1628
00:55:11,324 --> 00:55:13,158
you know, it did good and ultimate adventure,

1629
00:55:13,397 --> 00:55:13,897
and

1630
00:55:14,354 --> 00:55:15,789
and you know, that was all in the

1631
00:55:15,869 --> 00:55:17,065
East Coast, so I had to give it...

1632
00:55:17,225 --> 00:55:18,102
You know, you have to give it the

1633
00:55:18,102 --> 00:55:19,458
east Coast bump on a lot of that

1634
00:55:19,458 --> 00:55:21,226
stuff. Yeah have a little more. Well more

1635
00:55:21,226 --> 00:55:21,385
pal.

1636
00:55:22,101 --> 00:55:24,567
Which is unusual for me to have, you

1637
00:55:24,567 --> 00:55:26,794
know, I I say I say 4 point

1638
00:55:26,794 --> 00:55:27,565
3V6

1639
00:55:27,684 --> 00:55:30,880
power. But like my... Both my samurai bug,

1640
00:55:31,041 --> 00:55:32,958
you know, one's got a 22 r, you

1641
00:55:32,958 --> 00:55:34,796
know, roll 2.4, and then the other one's

1642
00:55:34,796 --> 00:55:35,755
A168

1643
00:55:35,755 --> 00:55:37,688
valve with a turbo on, they're both on

1644
00:55:37,688 --> 00:55:40,005
propane, so, know, propane rob a little power.

1645
00:55:40,326 --> 00:55:41,524
Mh. And

1646
00:55:42,164 --> 00:55:44,961
so... Yeah, Having having that extra... That extra

1647
00:55:44,961 --> 00:55:46,731
little bit of go juice makes a big

1648
00:55:46,731 --> 00:55:50,493
difference for sure. Sure. Nice. Alright. So the

1649
00:55:50,630 --> 00:55:52,141
last year, you kinda ended up, you won

1650
00:55:52,141 --> 00:55:55,339
the you won. The build challenge with On,

1651
00:55:55,498 --> 00:55:56,692
and then you got to go an ultimate.

1652
00:55:56,851 --> 00:55:57,726
You had a lot of fun there.

1653
00:55:58,522 --> 00:56:01,147
What is in the works for this year's

1654
00:56:01,147 --> 00:56:01,943
build challenge now.

1655
00:56:02,753 --> 00:56:04,759
So this year, I picked up a 19

1656
00:56:04,893 --> 00:56:06,715
76 Amc Pace.

1657
00:56:07,270 --> 00:56:07,770
And,

1658
00:56:08,617 --> 00:56:10,459
I mean, and I knew... I knew it

1659
00:56:10,459 --> 00:56:12,377
a dave. Yeah You know.

1660
00:56:13,336 --> 00:56:14,854
And I knew Fred and Dave had built

1661
00:56:14,854 --> 00:56:16,692
1. You know, they... They're both friends of

1662
00:56:16,692 --> 00:56:18,370
mine, and I knew they had built built

1663
00:56:18,370 --> 00:56:20,700
1 on dirt... Dirt every day when dirt

1664
00:56:20,700 --> 00:56:22,854
every day was around. But they just kinda

1665
00:56:22,854 --> 00:56:24,688
threw some jeep axles under it, you know,

1666
00:56:24,848 --> 00:56:26,842
some... And and like, I I'd swear the

1667
00:56:26,842 --> 00:56:29,016
things got cherokee leaf Springs. But

1668
00:56:29,409 --> 00:56:30,228
I was hoping

1669
00:56:30,926 --> 00:56:32,762
I was hoping in it. My car looks

1670
00:56:32,762 --> 00:56:34,359
just like the wayne Road car, Like it's

1671
00:56:34,359 --> 00:56:36,674
100 percent. It's the same color for same

1672
00:56:36,674 --> 00:56:38,931
color. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And

1673
00:56:39,641 --> 00:56:42,211
I was originally thinking I wanted to just

1674
00:56:42,268 --> 00:56:43,940
put a 4 liter in it, you know,

1675
00:56:44,656 --> 00:56:46,566
3 speed auto because... You know, that they

1676
00:56:46,566 --> 00:56:48,397
had a 02:58 and a 07:27.

1677
00:56:48,556 --> 00:56:50,640
So 30 2RH and a 4 liter would

1678
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,709
work good in there. And then, a, you

1679
00:56:52,709 --> 00:56:54,300
know, tee case and then do some, you

1680
00:56:54,300 --> 00:56:57,019
know, full with axles. Well, 30 As we

1681
00:56:57,019 --> 00:56:59,264
started breaking it down and and the time

1682
00:56:59,319 --> 00:57:00,905
constraints, I'm in the middle of building a

1683
00:57:00,905 --> 00:57:03,443
shop right now. So I'm like, I have

1684
00:57:03,443 --> 00:57:05,601
no way of putting this car together the

1685
00:57:05,601 --> 00:57:07,744
way I want to. Well, good. You you

1686
00:57:07,744 --> 00:57:10,046
and Na, both on the same this right.

1687
00:57:10,204 --> 00:57:10,363
Yeah.

1688
00:57:12,284 --> 00:57:13,981
I think this is a what much farther

1689
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:15,557
along. I don't even have power in my

1690
00:57:15,557 --> 00:57:17,393
shop yet. I think use extension cords.

1691
00:57:18,111 --> 00:57:18,611
But

1692
00:57:18,989 --> 00:57:20,847
but... Yeah. So I'm I'm

1693
00:57:21,398 --> 00:57:22,670
put putting that together.

1694
00:57:23,306 --> 00:57:25,055
And so I asked Onyx if I could

1695
00:57:25,055 --> 00:57:28,235
bring on an another partner with Rory. And

1696
00:57:28,235 --> 00:57:28,735
so

1697
00:57:29,284 --> 00:57:31,125
We brought the card to Rory, and that

1698
00:57:31,125 --> 00:57:33,704
was at least advantageous for the fact that,

1699
00:57:34,005 --> 00:57:35,764
you know, I could use his tools. I

1700
00:57:35,764 --> 00:57:36,644
could use his lift.

1701
00:57:37,299 --> 00:57:39,456
And we decided that it would be easier

1702
00:57:39,456 --> 00:57:40,495
to start with a frame.

1703
00:57:41,214 --> 00:57:43,132
And so I I used my old jeep

1704
00:57:43,132 --> 00:57:44,730
wrangler. I got ATJ.

1705
00:57:45,384 --> 00:57:47,775
And so I was able to, you know,

1706
00:57:47,934 --> 00:57:49,449
pull body on and off on and off

1707
00:57:49,449 --> 00:57:50,884
on and off. Now here's 1 thing I

1708
00:57:50,884 --> 00:57:52,717
can tell you about the car versus the

1709
00:57:52,797 --> 00:57:53,275
Wrangler.

1710
00:57:53,768 --> 00:57:55,839
Nothing lines up the same. Like, it's a

1711
00:57:55,839 --> 00:57:55,998
yes.

1712
00:57:57,034 --> 00:57:59,264
You know, nothing. Like, the engines in a

1713
00:57:59,264 --> 00:58:01,812
totally different spot for the t. The transmissions

1714
00:58:01,812 --> 00:58:03,416
in a different spot. So we had cut

1715
00:58:03,416 --> 00:58:05,638
my a huge chunk of the firewall to

1716
00:58:05,638 --> 00:58:07,328
get it down. Now as far as the

1717
00:58:07,463 --> 00:58:10,660
the cars base design, like the under belly

1718
00:58:11,128 --> 00:58:14,541
versus the Tj frame design are really close.

1719
00:58:15,334 --> 00:58:17,636
So that part was nice. I was able

1720
00:58:17,636 --> 00:58:19,224
to kinda get that mocked in there.

1721
00:58:20,034 --> 00:58:21,868
And get that that part of it done.

1722
00:58:22,027 --> 00:58:24,261
Right now, I'm in a very dangerous spot

1723
00:58:24,261 --> 00:58:26,414
though because it looks super cool. Like, there's

1724
00:58:26,414 --> 00:58:28,010
a car on the frame. You know I

1725
00:58:28,010 --> 00:58:29,546
got this little char that looks

1726
00:58:30,019 --> 00:58:32,260
looks like it's functioning, and I don't have

1727
00:58:32,260 --> 00:58:33,860
axles. I don't have suspension. I don't have

1728
00:58:33,860 --> 00:58:35,619
running drivetrain training. I don't have any of

1729
00:58:35,619 --> 00:58:36,179
that stuff.

1730
00:58:36,900 --> 00:58:37,400
So

1731
00:58:37,873 --> 00:58:40,120
So now, you know, you're in the process

1732
00:58:40,176 --> 00:58:42,401
of building all of these... Or making all

1733
00:58:42,401 --> 00:58:44,545
the stuff that you may not have that

1734
00:58:44,545 --> 00:58:45,045
visual

1735
00:58:45,499 --> 00:58:48,326
stabilization on Mh. As I go forward. But,

1736
00:58:48,623 --> 00:58:50,619
you know, my plan is still to...

1737
00:58:51,496 --> 00:58:53,252
I wanna make... I wanna make a race

1738
00:58:53,252 --> 00:58:55,180
car. So, like, you know, kind of an

1739
00:58:55,180 --> 00:58:56,954
off road racer. I haven't seen

1740
00:58:57,330 --> 00:59:00,117
you know, they've raised Pace before, but they

1741
00:59:00,117 --> 00:59:01,869
were still like the 2 wheel drive pace.

1742
00:59:02,027 --> 00:59:02,527
So

1743
00:59:02,998 --> 00:59:04,665
I'm excited to build

1744
00:59:05,063 --> 00:59:07,207
an off road pace that, you know, can

1745
00:59:07,207 --> 00:59:07,445
jump.

1746
00:59:08,081 --> 00:59:11,434
And my my goal, my ultimate goal is

1747
00:59:11,593 --> 00:59:13,987
I would like to run the Baja with

1748
00:59:13,987 --> 00:59:16,462
it. So... Wow. Wow. That's that's kinda what

1749
00:59:16,541 --> 00:59:18,856
I want to do. Okay. Run. So the

1750
00:59:18,856 --> 00:59:21,179
baja. Are the shocks gonna go through the

1751
00:59:21,179 --> 00:59:22,792
hood? Like, how are you gonna

1752
00:59:23,485 --> 00:59:25,791
that off? That's that's what I wanted to

1753
00:59:25,791 --> 00:59:27,643
do. I I scored some

1754
00:59:27,953 --> 00:59:29,784
box 2 and a half inch coil overs

1755
00:59:29,784 --> 00:59:31,954
that are 12... They're 12 inch. So

1756
00:59:32,409 --> 00:59:35,768
which realistically you get over 14 inches, and

1757
00:59:35,768 --> 00:59:37,763
most of most of the time you're never

1758
00:59:37,763 --> 00:59:39,997
gonna use any more than that. I I

1759
00:59:39,997 --> 00:59:42,151
wanted to find some 16 or 18, and

1760
00:59:42,151 --> 00:59:44,243
then I'll just limit them and exactly that,

1761
00:59:44,403 --> 00:59:46,481
like, make it, like mass and furious style

1762
00:59:46,481 --> 00:59:48,159
where you just see these coil overs blown

1763
00:59:48,159 --> 00:59:49,598
through the hood. And I might still have

1764
00:59:49,598 --> 00:59:51,356
them coming up through the hood, we'll see.

1765
00:59:52,075 --> 00:59:52,575
But

1766
00:59:53,048 --> 00:59:54,802
But the the goal is is to have

1767
00:59:54,802 --> 00:59:56,476
a functional car. So I got a 9

1768
00:59:56,476 --> 00:59:57,592
inch. You know, a lot of people don't

1769
00:59:57,592 --> 00:59:59,186
know this, but, like, most vehicles,

1770
00:59:59,665 --> 01:00:01,672
your rear axles narrower than your front axle,

1771
01:00:01,751 --> 01:00:03,342
and that's... So you have a better turning

1772
01:00:03,342 --> 01:00:06,524
radius. Yep. And so I pulled my 9

1773
01:00:06,524 --> 01:00:07,478
inch out of a van,

1774
01:00:08,289 --> 01:00:10,675
So it's actually the same width as my

1775
01:00:10,675 --> 01:00:13,539
front 44. So the vans actually have a

1776
01:00:13,539 --> 01:00:14,994
wider stance. So

1777
01:00:15,384 --> 01:00:17,538
My van is 67 inches I think, and

1778
01:00:17,538 --> 01:00:19,213
then my 44, which is out of like

1779
01:00:19,213 --> 01:00:21,627
a 78 ford pickup is also

1780
01:00:22,323 --> 01:00:23,201
67

1781
01:00:23,201 --> 01:00:24,897
inches hub to hubs. So

1782
01:00:25,289 --> 01:00:27,222
I'm gonna have the same wheel base

1783
01:00:27,599 --> 01:00:29,908
front back, which kinda... I like... When it

1784
01:00:29,908 --> 01:00:31,262
comes to off road,

1785
01:00:31,899 --> 01:00:33,890
you're not so much worried about turning radius.

1786
01:00:34,303 --> 01:00:38,541
No. And I like having the the Prom

1787
01:00:38,598 --> 01:00:40,427
method, you know, wider is better. Yep. The

1788
01:00:40,427 --> 01:00:42,017
old cardiac commercials. So... Mh.

1789
01:00:42,588 --> 01:00:44,996
So, yeah. I'd like having that stability. So

1790
01:00:45,291 --> 01:00:47,120
that's that's the goal as a 9 inch

1791
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:48,177
and a 44

1792
01:00:48,313 --> 01:00:50,300
instead doing 1 tons. I'm gonna focus on

1793
01:00:50,300 --> 01:00:52,644
37 inch tall tires. And

1794
01:00:53,181 --> 01:00:55,494
and kinda go that route, which is gonna

1795
01:00:55,494 --> 01:00:57,190
be a little bit different, but

1796
01:00:57,568 --> 01:01:00,838
I I... I'm gonna try to do trailing

1797
01:01:00,838 --> 01:01:01,556
arms in the back.

1798
01:01:02,208 --> 01:01:04,203
Mh. And if I can make that work,

1799
01:01:04,442 --> 01:01:06,516
I'm gonna run trailing arms. And then is

1800
01:01:06,516 --> 01:01:09,626
there a room underneath the chassis enough enough

1801
01:01:09,626 --> 01:01:11,222
space in the wheel base to get trailing

1802
01:01:11,222 --> 01:01:11,700
arms in there?

1803
01:01:12,433 --> 01:01:14,131
The car is a

1804
01:01:14,988 --> 01:01:15,488
unrealistic

1805
01:01:15,866 --> 01:01:18,181
wider than people think. It is hue. That

1806
01:01:18,181 --> 01:01:20,417
is a full size mini car, Like, it

1807
01:01:20,417 --> 01:01:23,544
is so big. It looks tiny. Oh, I

1808
01:01:23,544 --> 01:01:25,060
know they look small. You gotta remember too,

1809
01:01:25,140 --> 01:01:26,816
though, like, me and Rory are both 6

1810
01:01:26,816 --> 01:01:28,890
foot 5 and, you know, I'm 02:50, and

1811
01:01:28,890 --> 01:01:30,737
he's you know, 2 80 or something like,

1812
01:01:30,816 --> 01:01:32,487
we're not smaller guys. And so we look,

1813
01:01:33,124 --> 01:01:34,716
we make the car look smaller than it

1814
01:01:34,716 --> 01:01:37,118
is, but a car is massive. Like, Oh,

1815
01:01:37,198 --> 01:01:39,106
wow. It's so much bigger than that, Wrangler.

1816
01:01:39,265 --> 01:01:41,093
Like, I had to stretch that Wrangler 13

1817
01:01:41,093 --> 01:01:43,160
or the frames 13 inches just to fitted

1818
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:44,693
under the wheel base, and then

1819
01:01:45,004 --> 01:01:47,002
the tires that stuck out, those are 10

1820
01:01:47,002 --> 01:01:47,881
inch wide wheels,

1821
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,198
granted it's just a 44 and a 30

1822
01:01:50,198 --> 01:01:52,596
like stock Tj j axles, but they're offset

1823
01:01:52,596 --> 01:01:53,415
out wheels

1824
01:01:53,807 --> 01:01:55,632
10 inch wide wheels they stuck way out

1825
01:01:55,632 --> 01:01:57,932
on that Wrangler. They are flush with the

1826
01:01:57,932 --> 01:01:59,360
width of that car. Wow.

1827
01:01:59,757 --> 01:02:01,999
Okay. Yeah. There is there. I I was...

1828
01:02:02,318 --> 01:02:03,991
I wasn't familiar with what a Pace is.

1829
01:02:04,150 --> 01:02:05,824
And once I I've googled it real quick

1830
01:02:05,824 --> 01:02:06,780
while we've been talking. And I was like,

1831
01:02:07,019 --> 01:02:09,105
okay. That's a pace. And 1 of the

1832
01:02:09,105 --> 01:02:11,094
the first things on there is... Well, hey,

1833
01:02:11,333 --> 01:02:12,765
it's your video with Rory,

1834
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,710
tackling a Pace out in Moa app. But,

1835
01:02:16,108 --> 01:02:17,302
then there's was a little blurb that said,

1836
01:02:18,034 --> 01:02:20,592
that the car is almost a wider than

1837
01:02:20,592 --> 01:02:21,231
it is long.

1838
01:02:21,790 --> 01:02:23,548
Oh, yeah. It's ridiculous. It's like.

1839
01:02:24,268 --> 01:02:26,925
They square. I've had people send me commercials

1840
01:02:26,985 --> 01:02:29,150
from you know, they found commercials on those

1841
01:02:29,150 --> 01:02:31,139
pace, and that's actually what they would brag

1842
01:02:31,139 --> 01:02:32,968
about is how wide the car was. Like,

1843
01:02:33,127 --> 01:02:34,422
it's a wide stance

1844
01:02:35,054 --> 01:02:35,873
full size

1845
01:02:36,412 --> 01:02:38,090
short car, you know, or whatever. But... Yeah,

1846
01:02:38,330 --> 01:02:39,209
That... They...

1847
01:02:40,328 --> 01:02:42,505
It's a much bigger car people think. Fortunately,

1848
01:02:43,059 --> 01:02:45,291
You know, like, Immediately had people sending me

1849
01:02:45,291 --> 01:02:47,524
stuff from for the wayne rolled stuff. So

1850
01:02:47,683 --> 01:02:47,922
I have...

1851
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:50,314
At some point, Rory and I... You know,

1852
01:02:50,554 --> 01:02:52,481
I got a whole garth get up, and

1853
01:02:52,481 --> 01:02:54,313
and he's got a, you know, Wayne get

1854
01:02:54,313 --> 01:02:55,212
up, and

1855
01:02:55,668 --> 01:02:57,260
I actually had my buddy, Trevor.

1856
01:02:57,898 --> 01:02:59,809
Used to be on Matt's offer recoveries now

1857
01:02:59,809 --> 01:03:00,606
mis venture labs.

1858
01:03:01,178 --> 01:03:03,723
He made me a licorice dispenser, like a

1859
01:03:03,723 --> 01:03:04,939
little legit liquor

1860
01:03:05,791 --> 01:03:07,803
other deals and everything. So

1861
01:03:08,194 --> 01:03:09,713
I'll have to figure out how to mount

1862
01:03:09,713 --> 01:03:11,550
that to where it's like, a temporary mount,

1863
01:03:11,710 --> 01:03:13,388
so it's not in the race car race

1864
01:03:13,388 --> 01:03:14,746
car part, but where I can, like, mount

1865
01:03:14,746 --> 01:03:16,675
it pulled in and out. You don't wanna

1866
01:03:16,675 --> 01:03:18,265
have licorice while you're going down the Baja.

1867
01:03:19,060 --> 01:03:21,047
Wow. I'm afraid that it like things would

1868
01:03:21,047 --> 01:03:22,717
fly off. Like, there's, like, a little cutter,

1869
01:03:22,876 --> 01:03:24,387
you know, little razor of laying cutters and

1870
01:03:24,387 --> 01:03:26,784
stuff to cut it. And yeah. I don't

1871
01:03:26,784 --> 01:03:28,369
meet that in the eyeball. So... So just,

1872
01:03:28,449 --> 01:03:29,876
like, put ducks on my dash. I don't

1873
01:03:29,876 --> 01:03:30,193
want that.

1874
01:03:31,620 --> 01:03:33,856
Are you gonna get the vinyl like, a

1875
01:03:33,856 --> 01:03:36,318
vinyl sticker of the flames behind the tire

1876
01:03:36,318 --> 01:03:36,477
too?

1877
01:03:37,430 --> 01:03:40,210
Even better. So here go. I got a

1878
01:03:40,210 --> 01:03:41,480
bet... I got a better 1 for you.

1879
01:03:41,639 --> 01:03:43,798
The... So I won't you know, you can

1880
01:03:43,798 --> 01:03:46,362
get those off of ebay actually. Okay. And

1881
01:03:46,735 --> 01:03:47,235
and

1882
01:03:47,846 --> 01:03:49,275
I was like, man, this car is going

1883
01:03:49,275 --> 01:03:51,514
to Sema. Like, Do I really wanna just

1884
01:03:51,514 --> 01:03:53,661
throw some ebay stickers, flame stickers on it,

1885
01:03:53,820 --> 01:03:55,014
and I haven't a gotta reach out to

1886
01:03:55,014 --> 01:03:56,365
me that wanted to do a sign for

1887
01:03:56,365 --> 01:03:56,843
the shop.

1888
01:03:57,638 --> 01:03:59,013
His name's Jason, and

1889
01:03:59,324 --> 01:04:00,519
He does pins driving.

1890
01:04:01,157 --> 01:04:02,373
And so I asked

1891
01:04:02,830 --> 01:04:05,460
like, pins stripes. My is piece steal that

1892
01:04:05,539 --> 01:04:07,868
I'm always jealous of. Yeah. And so, yeah,

1893
01:04:08,028 --> 01:04:09,226
I asked him and I said, hey, you

1894
01:04:09,226 --> 01:04:11,864
know, would you be interested in doing a

1895
01:04:11,864 --> 01:04:14,181
pen strip, Like, here's the design. I wanna

1896
01:04:14,181 --> 01:04:16,668
keep the same design. Mh. But making some

1897
01:04:16,668 --> 01:04:18,655
red Pins dried flame setup up for this

1898
01:04:18,655 --> 01:04:20,563
thing. He's like, I'll definitely do that. So

1899
01:04:20,722 --> 01:04:22,789
Yeah gonna be awesome. That's that's the route

1900
01:04:22,789 --> 01:04:25,028
we're going with what's so cool.

1901
01:04:27,728 --> 01:04:29,555
But we I wanna kinda... It's gonna kinda

1902
01:04:29,555 --> 01:04:31,540
look, you know, similar to like, the fast

1903
01:04:31,540 --> 01:04:32,652
and furious charger.

1904
01:04:33,143 --> 01:04:35,127
Where it had the tie, you know, dual

1905
01:04:35,127 --> 01:04:37,269
tires in the back and all that stuff.

1906
01:04:37,428 --> 01:04:38,857
Like, I'm gonna kinda... I want to be

1907
01:04:38,857 --> 01:04:40,523
a cool looking rig, and I want to

1908
01:04:40,523 --> 01:04:41,500
be functional

1909
01:04:42,046 --> 01:04:45,144
I I did a barnes, the barnes TJ4

1910
01:04:45,144 --> 01:04:47,447
link underneath. So it's gonna have... You know,

1911
01:04:47,606 --> 01:04:49,115
so it's got a strong belly and a

1912
01:04:49,115 --> 01:04:51,435
good more link platform that I welded up

1913
01:04:51,435 --> 01:04:52,866
underneath it. And

1914
01:04:53,422 --> 01:04:55,808
yeah, Coil overs and then a 44 and

1915
01:04:55,808 --> 01:04:57,318
a 9 inch, You know, I think it's

1916
01:04:57,318 --> 01:04:59,306
gonna be a good combo for 30 sevens.

1917
01:04:59,719 --> 01:05:01,782
Yeah. And a vehicle. It's not gonna be

1918
01:05:01,782 --> 01:05:02,735
super heavy. So...

1919
01:05:03,449 --> 01:05:03,767
Yeah.

1920
01:05:04,402 --> 01:05:06,783
Well, so was very smart of you to

1921
01:05:06,783 --> 01:05:08,505
actually kinda utilize a

1922
01:05:09,103 --> 01:05:11,575
frame that is standard and,

1923
01:05:12,213 --> 01:05:13,011
has a lot of,

1924
01:05:13,729 --> 01:05:15,882
options, options for it already. Right? So it's...

1925
01:05:16,121 --> 01:05:18,195
You're not reinventing the wheel completely.

1926
01:05:18,690 --> 01:05:21,010
I mean, you are mash 2 different vehicles

1927
01:05:21,010 --> 01:05:23,829
together, but frame down is all kind of

1928
01:05:23,889 --> 01:05:24,369
been

1929
01:05:24,690 --> 01:05:27,065
established and understood and there's a lot of

1930
01:05:27,583 --> 01:05:30,371
research on that and frame up is, kind

1931
01:05:30,371 --> 01:05:32,682
of all big point around when what you

1932
01:05:32,682 --> 01:05:34,196
gonna play around Right. Figuring.

1933
01:05:34,769 --> 01:05:36,529
Biggest thing is I'll have to make my

1934
01:05:36,529 --> 01:05:38,210
own... You know, I'm still gonna make my

1935
01:05:38,210 --> 01:05:38,710
own

1936
01:05:39,730 --> 01:05:41,909
suspension design under it. Know, there's so many

1937
01:05:41,969 --> 01:05:42,985
suspensions under their

1938
01:05:43,424 --> 01:05:45,742
that people that you can buy and weld

1939
01:05:45,742 --> 01:05:47,740
in, but, you know, we're still on a

1940
01:05:47,740 --> 01:05:50,377
budget. So most of those coil over kits

1941
01:05:50,377 --> 01:05:52,295
for Tj j, Jk k, Jail, any of

1942
01:05:52,295 --> 01:05:52,455
them,

1943
01:05:53,109 --> 01:05:55,027
are are the max of my budget.

1944
01:05:55,906 --> 01:05:58,942
There are. Okay. Yeah. So so, yeah. It

1945
01:05:58,942 --> 01:06:00,860
it... It's... But it was nice to start

1946
01:06:00,860 --> 01:06:02,312
with a box frame. I mean, that's the

1947
01:06:02,312 --> 01:06:04,146
biggest thing was just starting out having a

1948
01:06:04,146 --> 01:06:05,024
good strong frame.

1949
01:06:05,582 --> 01:06:07,018
And then I'm not trying... Like, you're saying,

1950
01:06:07,177 --> 01:06:08,852
I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel. I

1951
01:06:08,852 --> 01:06:10,527
already have the engine in there. Like, the

1952
01:06:10,527 --> 01:06:12,859
engine the mounted, the transmissions mounted. The tee

1953
01:06:12,859 --> 01:06:13,659
case is mounted.

1954
01:06:14,299 --> 01:06:14,799
And,

1955
01:06:15,099 --> 01:06:17,579
you know, that's that's the biggest thing. You

1956
01:06:17,579 --> 01:06:19,513
know, If you guys And I don't know

1957
01:06:19,513 --> 01:06:20,630
if you have or not, But like, you

1958
01:06:20,630 --> 01:06:21,985
ever built your own rock buggy.

1959
01:06:22,703 --> 01:06:25,176
There's a reason why companies that sell rock

1960
01:06:25,176 --> 01:06:27,808
buggy sell rolling chassis because, like, that's the

1961
01:06:27,808 --> 01:06:30,136
easiest part of it. At when you come

1962
01:06:30,136 --> 01:06:31,731
into do in your plumbing and setting up

1963
01:06:31,731 --> 01:06:33,566
your pedals and setting up your steering and

1964
01:06:33,566 --> 01:06:35,879
your wiring, and that's the stuff that just

1965
01:06:35,879 --> 01:06:38,112
eats up time, and that's what kills people

1966
01:06:38,112 --> 01:06:40,513
on buggy builds. Yep. That's why I like,

1967
01:06:40,592 --> 01:06:41,784
when people say, I wanna, you know, I

1968
01:06:41,784 --> 01:06:43,451
wanna build a buggy, you know, I say,

1969
01:06:43,610 --> 01:06:45,992
well, either start with 1 that's affordable. You

1970
01:06:45,992 --> 01:06:48,313
know, like, Thomas, know, fabric 1 of those

1971
01:06:48,313 --> 01:06:50,462
guys, you know, they make pretty nice setups

1972
01:06:50,462 --> 01:06:51,895
and they'll sell you all the brackets. You

1973
01:06:51,895 --> 01:06:53,885
know, I think Randy Sla does that. I

1974
01:06:53,885 --> 01:06:55,812
think a lot of these guys are doing

1975
01:06:55,812 --> 01:06:58,125
that now where they're, like, setting up. Here's

1976
01:06:58,125 --> 01:07:00,677
an entire kit, you know, even Jesse Haynes.

1977
01:07:00,837 --> 01:07:02,671
So, like, here's an entire kit where then

1978
01:07:02,671 --> 01:07:05,796
you can put this drivetrain in and bolt

1979
01:07:05,796 --> 01:07:07,789
in. Yeah. But, like, I try to push

1980
01:07:07,789 --> 01:07:10,020
people more towards the t world. Like, man,

1981
01:07:10,179 --> 01:07:11,215
just pick up a t,

1982
01:07:11,773 --> 01:07:13,699
cut the, you know, the... Like, if you

1983
01:07:13,699 --> 01:07:14,971
cut the front of the frame off, you

1984
01:07:14,971 --> 01:07:16,719
can run a tube around it around your

1985
01:07:16,719 --> 01:07:18,548
engine. Mh. Cut the back the frame off,

1986
01:07:18,707 --> 01:07:20,456
you know, and kinda build some tubes around

1987
01:07:20,456 --> 01:07:21,728
the back, and then you can link it

1988
01:07:21,728 --> 01:07:23,411
up and and then you already have... You're

1989
01:07:23,411 --> 01:07:24,919
not trying to reinvent the wheel when it

1990
01:07:24,919 --> 01:07:26,585
comes to, like, setting up your steering. Your

1991
01:07:26,585 --> 01:07:28,411
steering there. Your pedals there, your seats are

1992
01:07:28,411 --> 01:07:30,634
there. You know, all that stuff is already

1993
01:07:30,634 --> 01:07:32,973
there. And then you're just building a buggy

1994
01:07:33,029 --> 01:07:35,170
around a firewall rig. Yeah. Where it's a

1995
01:07:35,170 --> 01:07:37,550
lot easier. I think that's a time saver

1996
01:07:37,550 --> 01:07:37,947
for sure.

1997
01:07:38,679 --> 01:07:39,958
Yeah. Definitely. That's a...

1998
01:07:40,757 --> 01:07:43,234
Yeah. Getting all the the little intricacies, the

1999
01:07:43,234 --> 01:07:43,734
electrical

2000
01:07:44,193 --> 01:07:45,093
wiring harness

2001
01:07:45,472 --> 01:07:47,310
down and everything. If that's all set for

2002
01:07:47,310 --> 01:07:49,946
you. Yeah. The the axles and drivetrain stuff

2003
01:07:49,946 --> 01:07:53,200
is goes right together because that's what... I

2004
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,105
mean, a lot of this industry. The rock

2005
01:07:55,105 --> 01:07:55,978
crawling industry at least.

2006
01:07:56,707 --> 01:07:58,058
Is out there, because that's what we focus

2007
01:07:58,058 --> 01:07:59,647
on our axles and so what we like.

2008
01:07:59,806 --> 01:08:01,260
So there's a lot of stuff

2009
01:08:01,793 --> 01:08:03,064
already done ready to go.

2010
01:08:03,953 --> 01:08:05,966
So you can just kinda pick and choose

2011
01:08:06,024 --> 01:08:08,731
your flavor that day and throw it under

2012
01:08:08,731 --> 01:08:10,880
a semi my completed thing and then finish

2013
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:11,756
it off with what you want.

2014
01:08:12,409 --> 01:08:14,247
Yep. And I've been I've been really blessed

2015
01:08:14,247 --> 01:08:15,925
to be, you know, friends with a lot

2016
01:08:15,925 --> 01:08:17,762
of lot of people in the off road

2017
01:08:17,762 --> 01:08:19,780
industry over the years and and just

2018
01:08:20,175 --> 01:08:22,414
you know, learn and talk, you know, when

2019
01:08:22,414 --> 01:08:23,854
when somebody that's been doing it for a

2020
01:08:23,854 --> 01:08:25,935
long time, tells me me something, and I'll

2021
01:08:25,935 --> 01:08:28,029
sit there and listen. You know, I've great

2022
01:08:28,029 --> 01:08:29,886
case in point. So I was

2023
01:08:30,503 --> 01:08:32,180
gosh, 19, maybe.

2024
01:08:32,899 --> 01:08:33,399
And

2025
01:08:34,095 --> 01:08:36,990
we're working at 4 parts, Shannon Campbell

2026
01:08:37,384 --> 01:08:38,203
was down

2027
01:08:38,580 --> 01:08:38,899
for...

2028
01:08:39,537 --> 01:08:41,610
It might have been the very first Xr

2029
01:08:41,610 --> 01:08:44,322
r a. So, like, pre... Yeah. Pre,

2030
01:08:45,039 --> 01:08:45,916
ultra 4. Mh.

2031
01:08:46,649 --> 01:08:47,149
And

2032
01:08:48,003 --> 01:08:49,198
I can't remember if there's that or 1

2033
01:08:49,198 --> 01:08:50,792
of the Rock crawl events. But anyway,

2034
01:08:51,668 --> 01:08:53,979
I built a a while link for my

2035
01:08:54,058 --> 01:08:55,833
Ka coma. I had a Coma and

2036
01:08:56,305 --> 01:08:58,625
I, you know, I have both my upper

2037
01:08:58,625 --> 01:09:00,645
wi lengths, you know, it's just like what

2038
01:09:00,944 --> 01:09:03,185
everybody still sells which drives me bad, But,

2039
01:09:03,265 --> 01:09:05,037
you know, like, it's you know, lower long

2040
01:09:05,037 --> 01:09:06,634
arms and then coming off the lower long

2041
01:09:06,634 --> 01:09:07,431
arms to your upper arms.

2042
01:09:08,149 --> 01:09:08,649
And

2043
01:09:09,108 --> 01:09:10,166
he took a pin

2044
01:09:10,544 --> 01:09:12,354
and he's like, look, the reason you keep

2045
01:09:12,632 --> 01:09:14,458
messing up and your rig is, like dive

2046
01:09:14,458 --> 01:09:16,680
bombing when you come off of cliff is

2047
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,086
because your your links are too hard mounted

2048
01:09:19,141 --> 01:09:20,808
on the upper side. He said, remove 1

2049
01:09:20,808 --> 01:09:22,256
of those up lengths. He said if you

2050
01:09:22,256 --> 01:09:23,692
have your fingers, you took a pin and

2051
01:09:23,692 --> 01:09:24,888
put his fingers on each end of the

2052
01:09:24,888 --> 01:09:26,722
pin and flex it. And you can feel

2053
01:09:26,722 --> 01:09:28,637
the pin bind. Yep. And then he took

2054
01:09:28,637 --> 01:09:29,913
1 of the links off and he's, like,

2055
01:09:30,073 --> 01:09:32,722
now, it's not binding. Yeah. So you take

2056
01:09:32,722 --> 01:09:33,921
your finger off the 1 side of the

2057
01:09:33,921 --> 01:09:35,919
pin, and then it's not binding anymore. And

2058
01:09:35,919 --> 01:09:37,778
he's like, you take your upper link off

2059
01:09:37,917 --> 01:09:39,035
and you run a 3 link.

2060
01:09:39,610 --> 01:09:42,167
He's like, now your regal flex, your won't

2061
01:09:42,167 --> 01:09:44,085
die bomb, your body won't roll as you

2062
01:09:44,085 --> 01:09:45,763
driving off stuff, and it won't try to

2063
01:09:45,763 --> 01:09:48,161
break and fracture your weld. Mh. And once

2064
01:09:48,321 --> 01:09:48,881
I did that,

2065
01:09:49,614 --> 01:09:52,089
you know, it it made a huge difference

2066
01:09:52,089 --> 01:09:54,244
on how that truck operated. It reflects so

2067
01:09:54,244 --> 01:09:55,362
much better work better,

2068
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:58,496
you know, wheel better and

2069
01:09:58,969 --> 01:10:00,245
and I was like, man. You know, and

2070
01:10:00,245 --> 01:10:02,159
it's just it was just something simple. Yeah.

2071
01:10:02,399 --> 01:10:04,154
That he had already went through. You know?

2072
01:10:04,233 --> 01:10:06,466
And it's, like, you know, you know, Shannon

2073
01:10:06,466 --> 01:10:08,061
ben building rigs, you know, I mean, he

2074
01:10:08,061 --> 01:10:10,064
was doing the the old quarter lip stuff,

2075
01:10:10,222 --> 01:10:11,650
you know, where you had your these rigs

2076
01:10:11,650 --> 01:10:14,031
have cut upside down, on cha and links

2077
01:10:14,031 --> 01:10:15,801
and... Yep. And so

2078
01:10:16,349 --> 01:10:18,266
You know. So, you know, it's like stuff

2079
01:10:18,266 --> 01:10:20,045
like that, you know, and when you can

2080
01:10:20,184 --> 01:10:21,702
when you can pick the brains of people

2081
01:10:21,702 --> 01:10:23,460
that have been doing it, it helps you

2082
01:10:23,460 --> 01:10:25,868
get better and then and then you can,

2083
01:10:26,029 --> 01:10:27,384
you know, I don't know, like I said,

2084
01:10:27,543 --> 01:10:28,123
I was

2085
01:10:28,580 --> 01:10:31,132
people with my... Yet. Sure people my knowledge

2086
01:10:31,132 --> 01:10:33,858
with mistakes I've made and then if I

2087
01:10:33,858 --> 01:10:36,010
can take something from somebody else, I'm gonna

2088
01:10:36,010 --> 01:10:37,843
take that for sure and wrong with it.

2089
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:39,516
Yeah. That's awesome, man.

2090
01:10:40,314 --> 01:10:41,842
Sounds like you should have a youtube channel

2091
01:10:41,842 --> 01:10:43,195
or something to share all that stuff.

2092
01:10:47,334 --> 01:10:49,642
That's cool. So, yeah, speaking of your Youtube

2093
01:10:49,642 --> 01:10:51,074
channel. You've been doing it for a while,

2094
01:10:51,409 --> 01:10:53,405
it's been going well. You'd have a lot

2095
01:10:53,405 --> 01:10:56,439
of really fun content. What has been, like,

2096
01:10:56,519 --> 01:10:59,073
just over the years, what has been your

2097
01:10:59,073 --> 01:11:01,880
favorite build that you've ever done. Oh, shoot.

2098
01:11:02,676 --> 01:11:03,176
So

2099
01:11:03,552 --> 01:11:04,667
I have a couple, like...

2100
01:11:06,020 --> 01:11:08,829
And the the reason for it is,

2101
01:11:10,412 --> 01:11:12,954
I I have a Toyota T, I did

2102
01:11:12,954 --> 01:11:15,418
that I wish Had kept. Mh. That just

2103
01:11:15,418 --> 01:11:17,825
worked, man. It just worked. And

2104
01:11:18,533 --> 01:11:20,680
I beat it up, and it just... It

2105
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:24,257
functioned. I put the... If when super swamp

2106
01:11:24,257 --> 01:11:26,086
came out with the I rock sticky,

2107
01:11:26,658 --> 01:11:28,413
I put it set on I rock stick

2108
01:11:28,413 --> 01:11:30,328
on there, and that truck was just oh,

2109
01:11:30,487 --> 01:11:31,284
man. It was so good.

2110
01:11:32,162 --> 01:11:32,662
And

2111
01:11:33,279 --> 01:11:35,853
and it was all budget. Like, full junkyard

2112
01:11:35,990 --> 01:11:36,364
parts

2113
01:11:37,203 --> 01:11:39,281
didn't have didn't have enough power to get

2114
01:11:39,281 --> 01:11:41,198
out of its own way, but all gears.

2115
01:11:42,397 --> 01:11:42,897
And

2116
01:11:43,356 --> 01:11:43,856
and

2117
01:11:44,248 --> 01:11:46,398
you know, dual cases obviously and and did

2118
01:11:46,398 --> 01:11:49,104
a Dana 300 twin stick, and Nice.

2119
01:11:49,740 --> 01:11:50,138
And

2120
01:11:51,014 --> 01:11:53,343
you know, was just it worked. That's 1

2121
01:11:53,343 --> 01:11:54,622
of the rigs I wish I wouldn't got

2122
01:11:54,622 --> 01:11:56,381
right. But I a few honestly. I had

2123
01:11:56,381 --> 01:11:59,018
a right when Shannon I first got married.

2124
01:11:59,177 --> 01:12:01,595
I had a 70 2K5 blazer

2125
01:12:02,147 --> 01:12:05,426
And at the time, Pat wasn't popular. Mh.

2126
01:12:05,799 --> 01:12:06,299
And

2127
01:12:06,672 --> 01:12:08,975
man that truck was rust free and it

2128
01:12:08,975 --> 01:12:10,935
had knew everything, like the guy bought it

2129
01:12:11,054 --> 01:12:12,720
from it, put a brand new Crate 03:50.

2130
01:12:13,116 --> 01:12:15,734
New transmission had off road designs double and

2131
01:12:15,734 --> 01:12:16,234
a

2132
01:12:16,608 --> 01:12:18,988
dual... You know, it had a 02:03 02:05

2133
01:12:18,988 --> 01:12:21,225
from You know, and and then I had

2134
01:12:21,225 --> 01:12:23,607
3 quarter ton of axles and 30 35

2135
01:12:23,607 --> 01:12:25,989
inch tires on it. That truck, I love

2136
01:12:25,989 --> 01:12:28,052
that truck. It drove good at wheel good.

2137
01:12:28,625 --> 01:12:29,824
But I was afraid to deny it.

2138
01:12:30,625 --> 01:12:31,125
And

2139
01:12:31,744 --> 01:12:32,145
and

2140
01:12:33,024 --> 01:12:35,024
you know, I I... That... You know, there's

2141
01:12:35,024 --> 01:12:36,359
a, like I said, there's a couple

2142
01:12:36,875 --> 01:12:38,382
I had a, you know, command she had

2143
01:12:38,382 --> 01:12:39,493
built, I wish I wouldn't get rid up.

2144
01:12:39,652 --> 01:12:40,761
So I have a couple. I don't know.

2145
01:12:40,921 --> 01:12:42,983
I... There's there's a few out there. 1

2146
01:12:42,983 --> 01:12:44,994
of them 1 of them was actually 1

2147
01:12:44,994 --> 01:12:46,595
of my samurai bug, and I was able

2148
01:12:46,595 --> 01:12:48,354
to buy it back. So I was happy

2149
01:12:48,354 --> 01:12:50,595
about that. Now it's All Toyota guts for

2150
01:12:50,595 --> 01:12:51,895
the most part too. It's

2151
01:12:52,448 --> 01:12:54,359
20 2R5

2152
01:12:54,359 --> 01:12:56,827
speed dual toy cases and then 16 a

2153
01:12:56,827 --> 01:12:57,783
77,

2154
01:12:57,942 --> 01:13:00,744
17 gears and stuff like that. So Wow.

2155
01:13:00,904 --> 01:13:02,262
Yeah. I'm a I'm I'm a big proponent

2156
01:13:02,262 --> 01:13:03,881
of low gears if you got a manual

2157
01:13:04,020 --> 01:13:04,739
transmission. More gearing,

2158
01:13:05,379 --> 01:13:07,137
you can all the not more options. Yeah.

2159
01:13:07,377 --> 01:13:09,475
All the lot more options. Okay. So

2160
01:13:09,869 --> 01:13:11,148
That's cool. I was gonna ask if you

2161
01:13:11,148 --> 01:13:13,225
were running the samurai 1 tons under there,

2162
01:13:13,466 --> 01:13:15,943
but you're running, like, the samurai rock wells

2163
01:13:15,943 --> 01:13:17,861
under there. So the 60 to 7.

2164
01:13:18,740 --> 01:13:21,153
Yeah. The other The other 1 is sixties

2165
01:13:21,153 --> 01:13:23,949
front back. I've put I pulled the 05:13

2166
01:13:23,949 --> 01:13:25,868
output 7 seventeen's in it as well, and

2167
01:13:25,868 --> 01:13:27,067
then Nice. It's

2168
01:13:28,025 --> 01:13:28,525
it's

2169
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,319
That's my rear steer 1, and it it

2170
01:13:31,319 --> 01:13:31,479
does...

2171
01:13:32,199 --> 01:13:33,720
It works good. It but it's got that

2172
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:35,319
1 6, so you gotta give it all

2173
01:13:35,319 --> 01:13:36,920
the gears you can get, you know. So...

2174
01:13:37,239 --> 01:13:37,399
Yep.

2175
01:13:38,609 --> 01:13:40,435
We need to get out here with aye

2176
01:13:40,435 --> 01:13:43,451
as an annual Rub trip with all Suzuki.

2177
01:13:43,689 --> 01:13:46,168
It's called Z con. And they a bunch

2178
01:13:46,168 --> 01:13:47,685
of Suzuki get out here and run the

2179
01:13:47,765 --> 01:13:48,163
Rub.

2180
01:13:48,722 --> 01:13:50,079
Every every year.

2181
01:13:50,718 --> 01:13:52,554
Amber, and I have talked about that. Every

2182
01:13:52,554 --> 01:13:54,070
year and every year. I'm like, man.

2183
01:13:54,724 --> 01:13:55,603
I need to get out there.

2184
01:13:56,322 --> 01:13:58,639
Here here's a great. So here's a here's

2185
01:13:58,639 --> 01:14:00,396
a Rub story for you. I've done the

2186
01:14:00,476 --> 01:14:01,275
Rub count 1 time.

2187
01:14:02,006 --> 01:14:03,988
Okay. And I've wanted to do it. I'd

2188
01:14:03,988 --> 01:14:05,731
wanna to do it for forever. And I

2189
01:14:05,731 --> 01:14:07,872
saved what I did is I kept all

2190
01:14:07,872 --> 01:14:08,664
of my change.

2191
01:14:09,554 --> 01:14:11,635
And I have it... You know, so I

2192
01:14:11,635 --> 01:14:12,755
kept all my change for, like,

2193
01:14:13,395 --> 01:14:15,314
12 or 15 years. And I just throw

2194
01:14:15,314 --> 01:14:17,395
it in this 5 gallon water jug. Yep.

2195
01:14:18,129 --> 01:14:20,225
And that's how I paid for my rub.

2196
01:14:20,604 --> 01:14:22,280
Wow. Now I was in the middle, I

2197
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,435
just sold... I had sold my fore runner,

2198
01:14:24,914 --> 01:14:27,402
which I shouldn't get rid of. But sold

2199
01:14:27,402 --> 01:14:29,706
my fore runner and was building another coma.

2200
01:14:30,421 --> 01:14:30,898
And

2201
01:14:32,010 --> 01:14:34,314
I used a a company's long arm kit

2202
01:14:34,314 --> 01:14:35,585
because I didn't have time to do it.

2203
01:14:35,919 --> 01:14:38,149
I'm not gonna name them because Lam kit

2204
01:14:38,149 --> 01:14:40,457
literally broke apart on the weld. Oh, no.

2205
01:14:40,697 --> 01:14:42,448
They looked pretty and they failed.

2206
01:14:44,373 --> 01:14:44,690
And

2207
01:14:45,644 --> 01:14:46,144
but

2208
01:14:46,835 --> 01:14:46,993
anyway,

2209
01:14:47,788 --> 01:14:49,297
and there's a reason why you'll probably never

2210
01:14:49,297 --> 01:14:51,362
see me running them again. But the...

2211
01:14:51,918 --> 01:14:53,689
But I I put this

2212
01:14:54,237 --> 01:14:56,063
jeep together, and I and we had booked

2213
01:14:56,063 --> 01:14:58,525
the the Airbnb or Vr or whatever it

2214
01:14:58,525 --> 01:15:00,273
was. I'd never even heard of that at

2215
01:15:00,273 --> 01:15:01,964
the time, like, what it was, But

2216
01:15:02,274 --> 01:15:03,947
because It's been 10:11 years,

2217
01:15:04,663 --> 01:15:06,176
maybe even 12 years since I've done the

2218
01:15:06,176 --> 01:15:06,734
room calling now

2219
01:15:07,451 --> 01:15:10,398
Got the commands together. 39 inch red labels

2220
01:15:10,398 --> 01:15:12,322
like it was sick, you know, 1 tons.

2221
01:15:13,118 --> 01:15:15,186
I had dual... I had a atlas 4

2222
01:15:15,186 --> 01:15:17,255
speed in it, Like, it was a rad

2223
01:15:17,255 --> 01:15:19,813
rig, you know, Hey 15 Atlas 4 speed.

2224
01:15:20,685 --> 01:15:21,185
And

2225
01:15:21,717 --> 01:15:22,114
and

2226
01:15:22,749 --> 01:15:24,495
made it a 4 seater. Like, mate... Still

2227
01:15:24,495 --> 01:15:26,577
had bedside, but, like, put a bet or

2228
01:15:26,577 --> 01:15:27,852
a seat in the back of bench seat

2229
01:15:27,852 --> 01:15:28,489
for my kids.

2230
01:15:29,287 --> 01:15:29,787
And

2231
01:15:30,163 --> 01:15:32,077
we had booked that place a year in

2232
01:15:32,077 --> 01:15:34,011
advance to stay at the Rub. So

2233
01:15:34,323 --> 01:15:36,552
So it wasn't real it wasn't real pricey,

2234
01:15:36,712 --> 01:15:38,702
but it was 1 block from Rub Road

2235
01:15:38,702 --> 01:15:40,373
on the top Mat tahoe side size. Yep.

2236
01:15:41,090 --> 01:15:41,590
And

2237
01:15:42,300 --> 01:15:44,460
I went out there with 1 friend that

2238
01:15:44,619 --> 01:15:45,739
I knew, and then a bunch of people

2239
01:15:45,899 --> 01:15:46,780
Had never met before.

2240
01:15:47,500 --> 01:15:49,039
And get out on the trail

2241
01:15:49,592 --> 01:15:52,156
and don't even make it to Cadillac hill

2242
01:15:52,450 --> 01:15:54,356
and coming in from the backside, and then

2243
01:15:54,356 --> 01:15:56,047
that arm broke. Right? Just

2244
01:15:56,421 --> 01:15:57,055
amp right off.

2245
01:15:57,789 --> 01:15:59,307
And I'm like, you gotta be kidding me.

2246
01:15:59,547 --> 01:16:01,545
And and at the time, it rolled... So

2247
01:16:01,545 --> 01:16:03,703
when it broke, It rolled my axle, broke

2248
01:16:03,703 --> 01:16:06,100
both my front shocks. Oh my god.

2249
01:16:06,832 --> 01:16:09,056
Busted what I didn't notice it broke a

2250
01:16:09,056 --> 01:16:10,487
little bit of my drive shaft when it

2251
01:16:10,487 --> 01:16:12,472
separated, but I could still sp it back

2252
01:16:12,472 --> 01:16:14,378
together. But what I didn't notice is it

2253
01:16:14,378 --> 01:16:16,046
broke 1 of the 1 of the little

2254
01:16:16,046 --> 01:16:18,137
dot like, tits, the little dog ears that

2255
01:16:18,137 --> 01:16:20,055
hold your you join in at the at

2256
01:16:20,055 --> 01:16:21,973
the penny yoke. Yep. And

2257
01:16:22,852 --> 01:16:24,770
so Ratchet just strapped everything back together, got

2258
01:16:24,770 --> 01:16:25,170
back together.

2259
01:16:25,902 --> 01:16:27,646
And my friend that was there with me.

2260
01:16:28,122 --> 01:16:30,502
They're like, oh, I hadn't really wheeled from

2261
01:16:30,502 --> 01:16:32,089
that much before and they're like, yeah. Well,

2262
01:16:32,819 --> 01:16:34,018
you know, you you should be able to

2263
01:16:34,018 --> 01:16:35,056
get back to camp, and then all the

2264
01:16:35,056 --> 01:16:36,414
other people just, like, they every everybody just

2265
01:16:36,414 --> 01:16:37,932
left me. So I was just like this

2266
01:16:37,932 --> 01:16:38,172
sucks.

2267
01:16:40,024 --> 01:16:42,405
Like, I just got left. Yeah. So, you

2268
01:16:42,405 --> 01:16:44,548
know, which I was used to wheel a

2269
01:16:44,548 --> 01:16:46,532
lot alone because I was pushing the limits

2270
01:16:46,532 --> 01:16:48,199
of what my rigs could do, and I

2271
01:16:48,199 --> 01:16:48,699
wasn't

2272
01:16:49,009 --> 01:16:50,679
you know, I wasn't in the buggy world,

2273
01:16:51,315 --> 01:16:53,384
you know, when I was younger. So, like,

2274
01:16:53,542 --> 01:16:55,134
I couldn't afford the buggy, so they would,

2275
01:16:55,213 --> 01:16:57,296
like, you know, sc at you. You know,

2276
01:16:57,456 --> 01:16:59,047
you're you're pretty on greg on leaf Springs,

2277
01:16:59,206 --> 01:17:01,275
You know? So so it wasn't a shocker

2278
01:17:01,275 --> 01:17:02,627
for me to have to fix stuff on

2279
01:17:02,627 --> 01:17:04,059
my own and then get back off the

2280
01:17:04,059 --> 01:17:07,095
trail and then I drove around Tahoe and

2281
01:17:07,095 --> 01:17:09,557
found 2 dudes like a garage with these

2282
01:17:09,637 --> 01:17:12,283
Toyota, like you're saying just raised up Toyota

2283
01:17:12,339 --> 01:17:13,530
just smashed to snot.

2284
01:17:14,261 --> 01:17:15,375
I was like, hey, man, do you guys

2285
01:17:15,375 --> 01:17:16,966
got a welder? Like, can I borrow a

2286
01:17:17,125 --> 01:17:19,829
Welder, you know, and, you know, what whatever

2287
01:17:19,829 --> 01:17:21,261
you want money or whatever And they're, like,

2288
01:17:21,341 --> 01:17:22,136
well, we just want beer?

2289
01:17:22,948 --> 01:17:25,101
So that's to my wife. Go get a

2290
01:17:25,101 --> 01:17:27,653
beer and and, you know, I used... They

2291
01:17:27,653 --> 01:17:29,167
had a little es stop welder, and I

2292
01:17:29,167 --> 01:17:31,480
used it and burned everything back together.

2293
01:17:32,212 --> 01:17:33,405
Not no. You know, like I said, I

2294
01:17:33,405 --> 01:17:34,201
had no shock still.

2295
01:17:34,996 --> 01:17:36,826
And so both of them were broke. And

2296
01:17:36,826 --> 01:17:38,417
we went back out on the trail.

2297
01:17:39,068 --> 01:17:40,498
And I'm trying to figure out Never been

2298
01:17:40,498 --> 01:17:42,087
on this. You know, Never even been on

2299
01:17:42,087 --> 01:17:43,676
the trail before. Mh. And they're like, hey,

2300
01:17:43,756 --> 01:17:44,948
we're gonna be camped at 1 of these

2301
01:17:44,948 --> 01:17:46,083
lakes. So

2302
01:17:46,393 --> 01:17:48,537
we're driving around and we go up, We're

2303
01:17:48,537 --> 01:17:48,934
going up,

2304
01:17:49,966 --> 01:17:51,395
big s, I think is what it is

2305
01:17:51,395 --> 01:17:52,666
where it was like, you know, just kinda

2306
01:17:52,666 --> 01:17:53,857
that long uphill. Mh.

2307
01:17:54,349 --> 01:17:55,698
Yeah because we got down in Roof cone

2308
01:17:55,858 --> 01:17:57,208
Springs, people like, you need to go this

2309
01:17:57,208 --> 01:17:59,591
way and I'm like, okay. You know, Ran

2310
01:17:59,591 --> 01:18:02,212
people. This is nighttime, like, dark. And U.

2311
01:18:02,703 --> 01:18:05,650
And so I'm driving up big the big

2312
01:18:05,650 --> 01:18:07,800
s, and that's when that you joint Cap

2313
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,269
let go. Now. So now I'm in just

2314
01:18:10,269 --> 01:18:10,906
rear wheel drive.

2315
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:14,130
And I'm hammering on it. Like, full K

2316
01:18:14,187 --> 01:18:15,542
style, like, just trying to get up this

2317
01:18:15,542 --> 01:18:15,701
hill.

2318
01:18:16,497 --> 01:18:18,305
And I had to win a couple spots

2319
01:18:18,425 --> 01:18:20,338
you know, fortunately, my wife's said go get

2320
01:18:20,338 --> 01:18:21,376
her so she went out, and you know,

2321
01:18:21,535 --> 01:18:24,007
pulled cable, and and we're were up and

2322
01:18:24,007 --> 01:18:26,400
getting up stuff, and then I finally find

2323
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:27,836
these guys, and I don't know what time

2324
01:18:27,836 --> 01:18:28,155
it was.

2325
01:18:28,969 --> 01:18:29,469
And,

2326
01:18:30,007 --> 01:18:31,286
you know, we set up our camp and

2327
01:18:31,286 --> 01:18:33,363
it starts raining as we're setting up our

2328
01:18:33,363 --> 01:18:33,523
tent.

2329
01:18:34,242 --> 01:18:34,742
And

2330
01:18:35,361 --> 01:18:37,774
and we you know, I get my whatever

2331
01:18:37,774 --> 01:18:39,215
hour and a half asleep, get up in

2332
01:18:39,215 --> 01:18:40,814
the morning. I'm like, okay. I gotta fix

2333
01:18:40,814 --> 01:18:41,295
this thing.

2334
01:18:41,935 --> 01:18:43,694
Fortunately, I had to know you joint.

2335
01:18:44,429 --> 01:18:46,667
And I had some welding rod and jumper

2336
01:18:46,667 --> 01:18:48,425
cables. So I borrowed some other guy's jumper

2337
01:18:48,425 --> 01:18:48,743
cables,

2338
01:18:49,383 --> 01:18:50,981
put the u joint caps on,

2339
01:18:51,541 --> 01:18:52,041
and

2340
01:18:52,673 --> 01:18:52,992
and

2341
01:18:53,789 --> 01:18:55,862
welded the caps to the to the yoke,

2342
01:18:56,020 --> 01:18:57,774
and it helped. Like, we did the entire

2343
01:18:57,774 --> 01:18:58,491
risk of the trail,

2344
01:18:59,208 --> 01:19:00,220
and it held with

2345
01:19:00,735 --> 01:19:01,235
Well.

2346
01:19:01,687 --> 01:19:03,988
Yeah. Now you've ever driven a Cherokee Ka

2347
01:19:03,988 --> 01:19:06,447
coma with no shocks and coils upfront. It

2348
01:19:06,447 --> 01:19:08,786
is a big old s, man. Just.

2349
01:19:09,159 --> 01:19:10,905
Wrong. You know, you're bouncing all over the

2350
01:19:10,905 --> 01:19:11,064
place.

2351
01:19:11,778 --> 01:19:12,175
And

2352
01:19:12,968 --> 01:19:14,158
but we did the rest of the trail.

2353
01:19:14,969 --> 01:19:15,710
And then

2354
01:19:16,329 --> 01:19:17,069
come back

2355
01:19:17,609 --> 01:19:19,289
and, you know, now I'm like, okay. I

2356
01:19:19,289 --> 01:19:21,689
gotta go into to Reno and get parts.

2357
01:19:21,850 --> 01:19:23,784
Like, I gotta get a pin yoke. I'm

2358
01:19:23,784 --> 01:19:24,984
a try to find some shocks.

2359
01:19:25,784 --> 01:19:27,625
So we head back and

2360
01:19:28,184 --> 01:19:30,104
get the... Get fined... You know, there's a

2361
01:19:30,104 --> 01:19:32,358
race shop that's next to summit. And I

2362
01:19:32,358 --> 01:19:34,507
can't remember the name of it. But that

2363
01:19:34,666 --> 01:19:36,577
I went over there. They do like Baja

2364
01:19:36,577 --> 01:19:38,010
trucks and stuff. And they had some old

2365
01:19:38,010 --> 01:19:39,681
shocks in the back and they sold... They

2366
01:19:39,681 --> 01:19:41,285
they had some shocks the right lengths. They

2367
01:19:41,285 --> 01:19:43,271
sold me some shocks. They had my pin

2368
01:19:43,271 --> 01:19:43,510
yoke,

2369
01:19:44,145 --> 01:19:45,416
and it worked out. So I was able

2370
01:19:45,416 --> 01:19:47,720
to get all the stuff, put everything back

2371
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:48,037
together.

2372
01:19:48,769 --> 01:19:49,885
And then the guys are like, you know,

2373
01:19:50,045 --> 01:19:51,480
we're like, hey, I'd really like to go

2374
01:19:51,480 --> 01:19:52,836
do 4 dice. And, like, yeah, We'll show

2375
01:19:52,836 --> 01:19:55,148
you 4 dice. Well, we come in. When

2376
01:19:55,307 --> 01:19:56,424
I come to find out, we didn't even

2377
01:19:56,424 --> 01:19:58,113
go in the entrance. We went and like

2378
01:19:58,113 --> 01:19:59,787
in the shortcut or whatever where you crossed

2379
01:19:59,787 --> 01:20:01,642
the river. Yep. And

2380
01:20:02,099 --> 01:20:03,932
we crossed the river, and I'm doing some,

2381
01:20:04,011 --> 01:20:06,060
like, wicked bonus line stuff in there and

2382
01:20:06,179 --> 01:20:07,688
do it did Toyota rock and all that.

2383
01:20:08,005 --> 01:20:10,704
Like, and and right after Toyota rock like,

2384
01:20:10,864 --> 01:20:12,928
that obstacle, whichever Windshield that is. I don't

2385
01:20:12,928 --> 01:20:13,722
know which 1 that is.

2386
01:20:14,531 --> 01:20:16,436
They're they're like, our wives wanna go shopping,

2387
01:20:16,675 --> 01:20:17,864
and then they're like, we gotta go back.

2388
01:20:18,103 --> 01:20:19,396
And so they, like, literally,

2389
01:20:20,484 --> 01:20:22,407
turn around right there. I never even got

2390
01:20:22,407 --> 01:20:23,604
to do all of Ford. So I've never

2391
01:20:23,604 --> 01:20:24,800
been able to do all of the Rub

2392
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:25,837
con. I've never been able to do all

2393
01:20:25,837 --> 01:20:28,150
the ford ice, and that was my Rub

2394
01:20:28,150 --> 01:20:30,622
con experience. So, like, I I have a

2395
01:20:30,942 --> 01:20:31,442
Vendetta

2396
01:20:32,391 --> 01:20:34,623
Right now I... I'm now... I think 12

2397
01:20:34,623 --> 01:20:37,015
years in on this change collection that I

2398
01:20:37,015 --> 01:20:38,927
have all this change. I have a bucket

2399
01:20:38,927 --> 01:20:41,018
a 5 gallon bucket. Full of change. If

2400
01:20:41,098 --> 01:20:44,373
I'm gallon them, like water jug. Mh. Full,

2401
01:20:44,533 --> 01:20:47,350
you know, Yeah. Pennies, porter dimes whatever and

2402
01:20:47,584 --> 01:20:49,976
and it's like, okay. It's about time to

2403
01:20:49,976 --> 01:20:51,652
go back and do the rub con, and

2404
01:20:51,652 --> 01:20:52,927
then I'd like to do 4 dice at

2405
01:20:52,927 --> 01:20:53,646
the same time.

2406
01:20:54,682 --> 01:20:56,517
Let us know what you did do that

2407
01:20:56,517 --> 01:20:58,369
trip. I mean, we're up on the Rub,

2408
01:20:58,530 --> 01:21:00,369
this year's is a little different, but in

2409
01:21:00,369 --> 01:21:01,650
normal years we're up there,

2410
01:21:02,449 --> 01:21:05,341
12 to 15 weekends, a year, on the

2411
01:21:05,341 --> 01:21:07,404
rub coin, and Ford dice were usually up

2412
01:21:07,404 --> 01:21:08,911
there at least 2 to 3 weekends a

2413
01:21:08,911 --> 01:21:09,728
year. So,

2414
01:21:10,260 --> 01:21:12,640
their birth trails. Jimmy an hour and a

2415
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,520
half from each trail head. And I got

2416
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,590
2 hours, So it's a... It's... We're we're

2417
01:21:17,590 --> 01:21:19,683
up there a lot. It's a really beautiful

2418
01:21:19,820 --> 01:21:21,913
area. They're really fun trails

2419
01:21:22,304 --> 01:21:23,899
And if you have a vendetta on them

2420
01:21:23,899 --> 01:21:25,117
that we'd love

2421
01:21:25,654 --> 01:21:26,691
to get you out there.

2422
01:21:27,967 --> 01:21:30,201
Just to go. I mean, just even driving

2423
01:21:30,201 --> 01:21:32,527
around in the daytime that next day, you

2424
01:21:32,527 --> 01:21:34,910
know, because we... I... Wherever whatever lake we

2425
01:21:34,910 --> 01:21:37,215
stayed at, they didn't wanna go to the

2426
01:21:37,215 --> 01:21:39,042
insurance. I wanted to drive to the insurance.

2427
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:40,813
Mh on the room come, but they're like,

2428
01:21:41,052 --> 01:21:42,729
we did that yesterday when you were broke

2429
01:21:42,729 --> 01:21:44,167
down. And I'm like, okay.

2430
01:21:45,046 --> 01:21:46,896
Like, you guys all live here. That'd be

2431
01:21:46,896 --> 01:21:48,247
cool for you, But I'm, like, you know,

2432
01:21:48,485 --> 01:21:49,837
I haven't... You know, I've never been here,

2433
01:21:49,995 --> 01:21:51,743
and it's a long, you know, long drive

2434
01:21:51,743 --> 01:21:53,492
for me to get out here. So I

2435
01:21:53,492 --> 01:21:55,002
was really really disappointed.

2436
01:21:55,732 --> 01:21:58,193
And but anyway, You'd you'd get a kick

2437
01:21:58,193 --> 01:22:00,495
out of it, especially since you've been there.

2438
01:22:00,654 --> 01:22:02,979
I mean, the trail has... It's changed

2439
01:22:03,368 --> 01:22:05,516
a little bit. They try and preserve that

2440
01:22:05,516 --> 01:22:08,061
trails as much as possible, but, it definitely

2441
01:22:08,061 --> 01:22:11,416
has changed, and there's a old new section,

2442
01:22:11,574 --> 01:22:14,299
which takes a solid afternoon to do,

2443
01:22:14,832 --> 01:22:17,056
with the the new Rub Trail Foundation, the

2444
01:22:17,056 --> 01:22:18,168
loop that they opened up.

2445
01:22:18,899 --> 01:22:21,130
Yeah. And it is some amazing,

2446
01:22:21,529 --> 01:22:24,578
awesome, just granite, ledge and big

2447
01:22:24,954 --> 01:22:25,432
articulation. So...

2448
01:22:26,323 --> 01:22:28,158
Nice. You you would get a kick out

2449
01:22:28,158 --> 01:22:29,595
of there. And you kinda just gotta add

2450
01:22:29,595 --> 01:22:31,190
another day to your trip if you wanna

2451
01:22:31,190 --> 01:22:32,466
do it all and see everything out there.

2452
01:22:32,706 --> 01:22:32,865
So...

2453
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:34,960
I'd like to do that. What 1 of

2454
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:36,560
the things that I was nerd out on

2455
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,239
was just all the mountain like, just hiking.

2456
01:22:38,480 --> 01:22:39,680
I wanna get out there and, like, hike,

2457
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:41,220
Just... I'm... So

2458
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:42,659
here's 1 thing

2459
01:22:42,973 --> 01:22:45,677
like, my parents had me and my brother

2460
01:22:45,677 --> 01:22:47,188
a lot later in life, like in their

2461
01:22:47,188 --> 01:22:48,244
forties. And

2462
01:22:48,619 --> 01:22:50,153
I don't know if they just didn't care

2463
01:22:50,845 --> 01:22:52,118
or what, But when I was a kid,

2464
01:22:52,927 --> 01:22:54,515
my dad would just let me... Like, I

2465
01:22:54,675 --> 01:22:56,659
I had a a huge hiking backpack.

2466
01:22:57,136 --> 01:22:59,279
Mh. That weighed about 70 pounds of his

2467
01:22:59,279 --> 01:23:00,231
old hiking backpack.

2468
01:23:00,804 --> 01:23:02,083
And he would drop me off in the

2469
01:23:02,083 --> 01:23:04,320
woods in Pike National forest, and I would

2470
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:05,279
go out and go camping,

2471
01:23:05,919 --> 01:23:07,438
by, you know by myself. You have a

2472
01:23:07,438 --> 01:23:08,876
whole new respect for the woods when you

2473
01:23:08,876 --> 01:23:10,967
can't buy yourself. You run across, bears, mountain

2474
01:23:10,967 --> 01:23:12,163
lions, everything else. And

2475
01:23:12,962 --> 01:23:15,434
And and I had a machete. So... Yeah.

2476
01:23:15,753 --> 01:23:17,507
It's, like, expected could fight off anything with

2477
01:23:17,507 --> 01:23:19,342
a Machete. Right? Yeah. And

2478
01:23:20,394 --> 01:23:20,792
and

2479
01:23:21,671 --> 01:23:23,186
you'd go camping and then I would just

2480
01:23:23,186 --> 01:23:25,021
keep hiking, and you always come onto to

2481
01:23:25,021 --> 01:23:26,457
a road. Like, I don't know how anybody

2482
01:23:26,457 --> 01:23:27,175
can get lost,

2483
01:23:28,550 --> 01:23:29,689
like legitimately

2484
01:23:29,989 --> 01:23:31,909
lost unless you just gave up.

2485
01:23:32,470 --> 01:23:33,989
You always come to our own because I

2486
01:23:33,989 --> 01:23:35,843
would just hike in the woods, and then

2487
01:23:35,843 --> 01:23:36,961
come out and I'd end up on a

2488
01:23:36,961 --> 01:23:38,477
road, and then I'd fall the road till

2489
01:23:38,636 --> 01:23:39,993
I found a house and then I'd knock

2490
01:23:39,993 --> 01:23:42,569
on houses, you know, and and then somebody

2491
01:23:42,707 --> 01:23:44,318
the door, and then I'd you know, this

2492
01:23:44,318 --> 01:23:46,412
is before cell phones and then call

2493
01:23:46,868 --> 01:23:49,101
call my parents, you know, and say, hey,

2494
01:23:49,261 --> 01:23:51,413
you know, I'm over here, I guess, and

2495
01:23:51,413 --> 01:23:53,183
then they would come and get me. Holy

2496
01:23:53,183 --> 01:23:55,256
crap. And... Yeah. Like, no parents let their

2497
01:23:55,256 --> 01:23:56,612
kids do that. Now. Like, I wouldn't even

2498
01:23:56,612 --> 01:23:57,887
let my kids do that. I'm like, no

2499
01:23:57,887 --> 01:24:00,041
way. Yeah. You're like You're like the original

2500
01:24:00,041 --> 01:24:02,288
bear g a survivor. Dude you but.

2501
01:24:04,043 --> 01:24:05,399
Well, I was... I I can tell you

2502
01:24:05,399 --> 01:24:07,314
right now. I I had a lighter. I

2503
01:24:07,314 --> 01:24:08,430

2504
01:24:08,430 --> 01:24:10,185
a dude think fire. I can't make fire

2505
01:24:10,185 --> 01:24:11,381
like that. I always had a lighter.

2506
01:24:12,273 --> 01:24:12,773
But

2507
01:24:13,146 --> 01:24:15,372
but you know, go camp like that. And

2508
01:24:15,372 --> 01:24:17,836
so I've always just loved being outside. Like,

2509
01:24:17,995 --> 01:24:20,061

2510
01:24:20,061 --> 01:24:21,828

01:24:24,865 --> 01:24:25,105
Like,

2513
01:24:26,064 --> 01:24:28,142
I just love being outside. I love exploring

2514
01:24:28,142 --> 01:24:29,820
stuff and how you can... Like, I I

2515
01:24:29,820 --> 01:24:31,752
love 4 wheel. Last But I love it

2516
01:24:31,752 --> 01:24:33,506

2517
01:24:33,506 --> 01:24:35,501

that maybe other people haven't seen,

2521
01:24:41,417 --> 01:24:43,009
Like, that's what I really like. And I'm

2522
01:24:43,009 --> 01:24:45,157
like, man, this hike took me, you know,

2523
01:24:45,396 --> 01:24:47,466
2 or 3 days. I guarantee nobody else

2524
01:24:47,466 --> 01:24:49,534
been out here. That... That's always... I I

2525
01:24:49,534 --> 01:24:51,623

2629
01:28:14,083 --> 01:28:15,451

the the brands and companies that have really

2635
01:28:25,582 --> 01:28:27,097
stood behind you. I know that you said

2636
01:28:27,097 --> 01:28:27,757
when you

2637
01:28:28,294 --> 01:28:30,128
transitioned into your own channel, a big part

2638
01:28:30,128 --> 01:28:32,122
of what was able to make that happen

2639
01:28:32,122 --> 01:28:32,622
was

2640
01:28:33,173 --> 01:28:34,920
the brands that stood behind you and that

2641
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:37,222

2647
01:28:49,822 --> 01:28:51,408
before I even had a video out.

2648
01:28:52,759 --> 01:28:54,266
So they had full...

2649
01:28:55,695 --> 01:28:57,218
You know, they they knew what I know,

2650
01:28:57,298 --> 01:28:58,729
what I was capable of and what I

2651
01:28:58,729 --> 01:29:00,081
did, and I was like man, I I

Yeah. It's just been...

2663
01:29:22,243 --> 01:29:24,400
It's been really cool. Yank income ropes reached

2664
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:26,398
out, you know, re... And they wanted to

2665
01:29:26,398 --> 01:29:28,396
work together, So I was really happy to

2666
01:29:28,396 --> 01:29:29,689
to work with the Yank income Rope you

2667
01:29:29,689 --> 01:29:30,510
know, having

2668
01:29:31,128 --> 01:29:33,365
anytime there's companies that are in the Usa

2669
01:29:33,365 --> 01:29:34,804
that try to keep their products in in

2670
01:29:35,043 --> 01:29:36,561
America. Mh. You know, that's...

2671
01:29:37,281 --> 01:29:39,707
I'm all about You know, I'm all about

2672
01:29:40,161 --> 01:29:42,226
affordability. We know, like, like, case in point,

2673
01:29:42,305 --> 01:29:43,656
like t shirts, t shirts don't get made

2674
01:29:43,656 --> 01:29:45,006
in the Usa. You can say all you.

2675
01:29:45,166 --> 01:29:46,595
Like, they might get printed. You might get

2676
01:29:46,595 --> 01:29:48,364
a printing in Usa. You're not gonna get

2677
01:29:48,364 --> 01:29:50,220
a t shirt made in the Usa

2678
01:29:50,756 --> 01:29:52,989
anymore It's just, yeah, almost, you know, almost

2679
01:29:52,989 --> 01:29:54,685
on for that. So

2680
01:29:55,063 --> 01:29:55,381
the

2681
01:29:55,939 --> 01:29:56,993
printing you know, the...

2682
01:29:57,792 --> 01:29:59,871
But well, even... How don't no. I can't

2683
01:29:59,871 --> 01:30:01,469
say all that too. Because, like, even harbor

2684
01:30:01,469 --> 01:30:03,546
freight, harbor freight is, like, we'll wait we

2685
01:30:03,546 --> 01:30:05,439
wanna stay with you, you know, harbor freight

2686
01:30:05,639 --> 01:30:07,237
I worked with him, Elm bleep and Jeep

2687
01:30:07,237 --> 01:30:09,394
and they're like, yeah. And we... We love

2688
01:30:09,394 --> 01:30:11,152
what you're doing and we wanna continue, you

2689
01:30:11,152 --> 01:30:12,350
know, working with you. So those...

2690
01:30:13,163 --> 01:30:15,237
Super cool too because, you know, they they

2691
01:30:15,237 --> 01:30:16,912
they've really stepped up their game on a

2692
01:30:16,912 --> 01:30:18,985
lot of stuff with the, you know, different

2693
01:30:18,985 --> 01:30:21,059
levels. I think that's probably the best thing

2694
01:30:21,059 --> 01:30:22,176
is we've all had to be on a

2695
01:30:22,176 --> 01:30:24,733
budget sometime in our life, and buy super

2696
01:30:24,733 --> 01:30:26,559
cheap stuff, and they have the different levels

2697
01:30:26,559 --> 01:30:29,100
of of affordability now, you know, where you

2698
01:30:29,100 --> 01:30:31,244
have 3 different tiers of tooling that you

2699
01:30:31,244 --> 01:30:33,508
can buy sometime. If you can only afford,

2700
01:30:33,883 --> 01:30:36,031
you know, Try wanna stand tools, then they

2701
01:30:36,031 --> 01:30:37,463
have them, You know, And... But if you

2702
01:30:37,463 --> 01:30:39,054
wanna get a better brand, you know, they

2703
01:30:39,054 --> 01:30:40,327
have those too. So... Yeah.

2704
01:30:41,057 --> 01:30:42,885
Well, Cool man, that's some good stuff. I

2705
01:30:42,885 --> 01:30:44,395
hope I've everybody out there goes and checks

2706
01:30:44,395 --> 01:30:46,778
out C here. Go look at his Instagram.

2707
01:30:46,937 --> 01:30:48,526
There's some really fun content there. The Youtube,

2708
01:30:48,685 --> 01:30:49,082
of course.

2709
01:30:49,971 --> 01:30:51,961
And keep an eye on the pace and

2710
01:30:51,961 --> 01:30:53,471
see how the pace turns out and how

2711
01:30:53,471 --> 01:30:55,063
the On x off road challenge ends up.

2712
01:30:55,619 --> 01:30:57,862
Is there... Are they in the the spot

2713
01:30:57,862 --> 01:31:00,487
for ultimate adventure again or was ultimate adventure

2714
01:31:00,487 --> 01:31:01,442
kinda def tanked. Right?

2715
01:31:02,475 --> 01:31:04,623
Ultimate adventure is no longer. So...

2716
01:31:05,514 --> 01:31:07,106
It was nice to be able to bring...

2717
01:31:07,903 --> 01:31:09,654
I've been running mile star tires for forever.

2718
01:31:09,813 --> 01:31:10,848
It's nice to be able to bring those

2719
01:31:10,848 --> 01:31:12,839
out east and show that they work because

2720
01:31:12,839 --> 01:31:15,088
they still work you know, people, they they

2721
01:31:15,088 --> 01:31:16,366
got a bad rap with the Mt o

2722
01:31:16,366 --> 01:31:17,725
1, the Mt o two's is a totally

2723
01:31:17,725 --> 01:31:20,521
different tire. Yeah. But I was talking to

2724
01:31:20,521 --> 01:31:21,341
trent Christian

2725
01:31:21,813 --> 01:31:24,192
they have create... They are working on creating

2726
01:31:24,192 --> 01:31:26,493
the unreal adventures. So that is what they're

2727
01:31:26,493 --> 01:31:28,261
working towards. Yep. And

2728
01:31:28,809 --> 01:31:30,324
I think that that's an opportunity,

2729
01:31:31,202 --> 01:31:33,037
you know, that's a cool opportunity to still

2730
01:31:33,037 --> 01:31:34,154
do. I think if anybody,

2731
01:31:34,872 --> 01:31:35,771
Trent Mcgee

2732
01:31:36,243 --> 01:31:38,498
has a gift when it comes to making

2733
01:31:39,354 --> 01:31:40,072
an adventure.

2734
01:31:40,869 --> 01:31:41,369
And,

2735
01:31:41,827 --> 01:31:44,698
like, legitimately. Like, your day blend together out

2736
01:31:44,698 --> 01:31:45,596
there. And

2737
01:31:45,989 --> 01:31:47,587
And if you don't keep track of it,

2738
01:31:47,667 --> 01:31:49,025
you're gonna make man that I missed, you,

2739
01:31:49,105 --> 01:31:50,943
like, I did so much cool stuff in

2740
01:31:50,943 --> 01:31:52,301
such a short amount of time. So

2741
01:31:52,954 --> 01:31:54,787
You know, I think that's really cool that

2742
01:31:54,787 --> 01:31:56,540
they're gonna try to push forward, you know,

2743
01:31:57,019 --> 01:31:59,091
unfortunately, motor trend just wanted to kill it

2744
01:31:59,091 --> 01:32:00,047
and and

2745
01:32:00,938 --> 01:32:03,081
you know, big corporations that just happens. But

2746
01:32:03,239 --> 01:32:05,144
Yeah. You know, they they... They're looking at

2747
01:32:05,144 --> 01:32:06,810
the bottom dollar what what they can make

2748
01:32:06,810 --> 01:32:08,025
and it's not such much

2749
01:32:08,492 --> 01:32:10,158
not as much of a love affair. Mh.

2750
01:32:10,397 --> 01:32:12,698
And Mh. So I'm I'm excited to see

2751
01:32:12,698 --> 01:32:13,889
what they can do if they make it

2752
01:32:13,889 --> 01:32:15,159
happen, You know, it'd be cool.

2753
01:32:16,048 --> 01:32:18,274
I if I... I really wanna do it.

2754
01:32:18,433 --> 01:32:20,182
At the same time I'm like, man, I

2755
01:32:20,182 --> 01:32:21,454
got a car that I gotta get done,

2756
01:32:21,613 --> 01:32:23,045
and I don't even have a shop to

2757
01:32:23,045 --> 01:32:25,682
build it in yet. So... Yeah. I'm You

2758
01:32:25,682 --> 01:32:27,110
know, I'm on I'm on the fence there.

2759
01:32:27,349 --> 01:32:28,538
But but

2760
01:32:29,411 --> 01:32:30,918
yeah. It's... I I think it'll be cool.

2761
01:32:31,077 --> 01:32:32,742
Yeah. This year at this year is just

2762
01:32:32,742 --> 01:32:33,480
a trophy

2763
01:32:34,029 --> 01:32:35,864
I think originally, they were talking about, like,

2764
01:32:35,944 --> 01:32:37,621
a 10000 dollar prize pot.

2765
01:32:38,340 --> 01:32:39,697
Which would be cool. I think any 1

2766
01:32:39,697 --> 01:32:41,771
of us could obviously use that. Anybody can

2767
01:32:41,771 --> 01:32:42,490
use that. Mh.

2768
01:32:43,063 --> 01:32:44,836
I could definitely use that because,

2769
01:32:45,212 --> 01:32:46,962
you know, this car is costing me money.

2770
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:47,598
Yeah.

2771
01:32:49,349 --> 01:32:52,000
Yeah. People people always think that everything just

2772
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:53,840
gets, you know, oh, you do Youtube. People

2773
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:55,199
just send you stuff for free. Like, know.

2774
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:56,800
That's not really how that works.

2775
01:32:57,359 --> 01:32:57,520
Know.

2776
01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:00,809
Yeah. Well, call me in. Thank you so

2777
01:33:00,809 --> 01:33:02,563
much for taking the time. It's been a

2778
01:33:02,563 --> 01:33:04,475
lot of fun chatting with you. I think

2779
01:33:04,555 --> 01:33:05,989
I'd like to have you back on the

2780
01:33:05,989 --> 01:33:07,759
podcast here in the future to talk about

2781
01:33:08,077 --> 01:33:09,912
trail stuff, so more of the trail have

2782
01:33:09,912 --> 01:33:12,863
advocates ad vacation side of things, like, opening

2783
01:33:12,863 --> 01:33:14,777
up trails, trail maintenance, because I know you

2784
01:33:14,777 --> 01:33:17,111
are pretty heavily involved with that. So

2785
01:33:17,582 --> 01:33:18,855
I think it'd be fun to talk a

2786
01:33:18,855 --> 01:33:20,207
little bit about that and tell people about

2787
01:33:20,207 --> 01:33:23,071
how teach people about clubs and trail maintenance

2788
01:33:23,071 --> 01:33:23,889
stuff. So

2789
01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:25,952

organization and then every time I set something

2825
01:34:31,364 --> 01:34:33,279
words for everybody out there? What are my

2826
01:34:33,279 --> 01:34:35,434
big takeaways from this and listening to Cole

2827
01:34:35,434 --> 01:34:36,391
is really just

2828
01:34:37,283 --> 01:34:39,362
start. It's... You know, it sounds like, I,

2829
01:34:39,442 --> 01:34:41,119
got what I learned a lot about cole

2830
01:34:41,119 --> 01:34:42,957
is that he just sort of started doing

2831
01:34:42,957 --> 01:34:44,715
things and I always started rolling with it.

2832
01:34:45,287 --> 01:34:48,152
And started understanding and, like, I... I'm 1

2833
01:34:48,152 --> 01:34:49,424
the same in a way where it's, like,

2834
01:34:50,140 --> 01:34:51,572
I didn't know how to do any of

2835
01:34:51,572 --> 01:34:53,968
this. I just took it apart, and I

2836
01:34:53,968 --> 01:34:56,031
learned it. And then from taking it apart,

2837
01:34:56,270 --> 01:34:57,778
I learned how to put it back together.

2838
01:34:58,015 --> 01:35:00,317
Yeah. So really get your... Use your hands,

2839
01:35:00,809 --> 01:35:03,283
start, you know, playing and, you know, get

2840
01:35:03,283 --> 01:35:04,880
some grease under your nails. You know, have

2841
01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:06,875
some fun with it. Yep. I like it

2842
01:35:06,954 --> 01:35:07,992
I like it a lot. And with that

2843
01:35:07,992 --> 01:35:08,551
my friends,

2844
01:35:09,203 --> 01:35:09,918

2845
01:35:38,510 --> 01:35:41,403

2846
01:35:41,699 --> 01:35:42,199

2847
01:35:42,577 --> 01:35:44,970
instrument is found in the bathroom?

2848
01:35:49,625 --> 01:35:51,145
This is right up your alley. It's a

2849
01:35:51,145 --> 01:35:53,704
it's a dirty joke. Of the t bone.

2850
01:35:54,831 --> 01:35:56,177
Would be a good 1. Yeah.

2851
01:35:58,396 --> 01:35:58,896

01:36:01,422 --> 01:36:03,089
Oh, I just had it. And I I

2853
01:36:03,089 --> 01:36:05,549

2856
01:36:10,010 --> 01:36:11,206
It's not a dirty joke.

2857
01:36:12,483 --> 01:36:14,000
Well, it's a bathroom joke It's a bathroom

2858
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:15,595
joke I guess. I was gonna say tub

2859
01:36:15,595 --> 01:36:16,952

2860
01:36:16,952 --> 01:36:19,988
to be a dirty. Tub. Dirty tube. Dirty

2861
01:36:19,988 --> 01:36:22,711
