2JZ Lawn Mower First Test Drive! It Rips! 

This thing MUST go to the Spirit Lake Idaho mower races once finished.

It would be funny if you took this in to a lawn mower shop for a service and see what they said lol

this project might actually warrant a roll cage/5 point harness. -we do care about your health and well being as you tear up the Idaho back country... Thanks for the update and having us all along for the adventure!!

The best part is at 2:54 when he is explaining the somewhat complicated reconfiguration of the pedals, and it just says simplicity really big on the side of the tractor

Love how the parts pile has everything, including the kitchen sink! (1:42)

Anyone else like the little teasers they give us by leaving there newest project in the background (kids bike)

Please do stacks with tractor flaps for the exhaust

The moment he realized the clutch and brake set-up wouldn’t work was funny as hell

Oh man! Been looking forward to this video for a long time. Gotta love the first shake out ride

I love how they just have a pile of stuff sitting outside that they could probably make a whole new vehicle out of 😂

"For slowing down, won't we need to clutch and brake at the same time though?" Asks buzzy brilliant garage engineer tech to his shaggy brilliant garage engineer tech best friend. You're the dynamic duo, we love you guys, real honest, real engineering.

1:55 that double sink can make a great gas tank if you cut them out and join them together. I've been doing marine gas tanks out of sinks for a few years now and it works out great.

“So how did he die? Oh? Oh... Yeah, that makes sense.”

5 point harness on a sparco seat? Would be legendary. This build is already so sick!

Flip the gas pedal upside down to match the low mount of the brake pedal

I think you should get in touch with PFI speed to get the tuning sorted out, would be a really cool colab

This things gonna end up in a museum for the most badass mower in the world

Love that you managed to keep a tractor aesthetic on this. Amazing project as always guys! Super inspiring.

This is much more important than whatever I was just doing

THE THING WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

You guys are a true inspiration! Watching your videos got me back in the shop creating fun vehicles of all sorts. Thank you!

This is PERFECT for SPEED MOWING a new track in a green grass field.. Then race the builds.. That would be an EPIC EPISODE..

How we reason around here with things like the Tractor Seat... Makes me proud!!!

I have to say I've watched you guys from day 1 and this has been the one I've been waiting for excellent job 👏🏼 cant wait to see it finished

It's looking great, can't wait to see what the end product is. You guys always blow the roof off 👍

It's still a tractor though. So I fully expect stacks with flaps, and front tires smaller than the rear.

Best looking Simplicity I've ever seen. Very cool and looks like alot of fun. Definitely put some ROPS on.

LOL'D When he realised about needing to push the brake and clutch for slowing down

Had a massive permagrin the entire time you were driving that thing. I know you had to be having a blast. MAN I love this thing! I wish I could buy it from you.

Definitely some roll over protection, sirs

I love it when it comes to getting any project ready for the first rip, any and every previous project gets brutalised for any required parts to get the latest project semi ready..... its all about the first rip lol..... love it.... no two grind hard projects run at the same time lol

I think this one might need a roll cage lol! I’m envisioning a tractor pull tractors roll cage. Awesome build series!

someone else mentioned it too but i think stacks and flaps would be the cherry on top to this build

POV: you clicked faster than the 2j mower

There’s very little I love more than making something new out of something I was going to throw away. Brilliant to see you picking the old scrap cars for parts

Great vids, idea for a power wheels build. Taking one of the dodge cummins power wheels and putting a little diesel in it.

Sounds exactly like it should, stacks and flaps would be ideal to finish the tractor originality 😉👍

I've been so looking forward to this moment. Absolutely brilliant! I really need one of these. Small favour, when you make the top plate, can you put in a gearshift gate, in chrome, Ferraris have these and this has got to be the Ferrari of tractors! Well done Guys!

"Yup haven't thought about that before" lmao

I first saw this on tiktok and i was like WHAT THE **** NO WAY A 2jz engine in a tractor THIS IS GONNA BE SIIIIICK so next few days after working my tail off at work i ran across it on youtube and have been watching from the very start, let me just say WHAT A FREAKIN RAD BUILD 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Grind Hard, terrifying viewers for years. :D

Hell yeah! Finally got it going for a shakedown! I’d put some softer springs since right now it’s set up for a cars weight. But I’m looking forward to seeing more!

Suggested mod: the most cost effective equal length header so it sounds like a 2J that we all love, and not two Geo Metros fighting 🤣

this thing is awesome!!! i managed to move out into the country recently :D got a v twin 42" lawn tractor minus the mower attachment from a co-worker and a bunch of pedal bike frames so it seems those are gonna be the basis of my first real builds here You guys have given me so much inspiration for stuff like this. Keep on sending it bud

What about Triumph build? Are you going to finish it?

How do you 👎🏽 this video? These guys are awesome... just building cool stuff all the time...dream job

Every project seems to get larger and larger. I wouldn't be surprised if you guys build a full sized car from scratch at some point!

I will watch this in a bit when I get some time but before I do I know this is hands downs the most dangerous unit in the shop! I can't wait to see how sketchy and fast it is. I love these builds!

2jz swap is like that thing back in highschool that everyone had to have.

That thing is a monster already can't wait till it's finished

Must turbo or supercharge it's a dog. Otherwise it's so freakin cool just needs the low end torque from a supercharger

Seeing your metal pile... Everything and the kitchen sink!

I have never clicked on a notification so fast in my life!

The foot safety rails can be tied in between the Jag subframe and mower body. The racing mower guys have big side rails to protect the feet from others crashing into them and adding strength

Looks fun hold my beer!

Solution, hand throttle on the wheel. Right side brake, left side clutch. For the pivots being different, flip the masters over and have hanging pedals.

Hopefully when you get bored with this project “much later I’m sure” but would be cool to see this hart go in the jag for another gambler run or something lol

I'm proud of you boys. As a fellow idahoan this is the best, thanks

spend a little amount of money on stock mower and dumps lots of money to make it in to something everyone wona drive and have

I'm almost amazed that you guys were able to shoehorn a notable straight six into this and still retain the tractor-like exhaust note.

Hi GHPC, so you guys are nearly there with this 2JZ engined project and of course you have to test drive the tractor before you can finish it properly and I am looking forward to seeing this project completed and running at its full potential.

I just found this today O my God this is the coolest build I seen a tractor and can go off roading and has a 2jz in it I tip my hat to you

A cheap way of softening the springs is to remove 2 of the 4 springs on the rear axle, these may well be soft than the ones on the front so you could replace the fronts with the ones that you took of the rear.

Love the kitchen sink on the scrap pile!!

Everyone else is on part 43 of a series like this, this man's dropped this project, finished three others, and now rips this; what a legend of fabrication.

This thing looks so rad. I love the straight/square form factor on those big fat tires. Kinda reminds me of the really old race cars

I like everything they build im so glad I found this channel

You are a excellent fabricator. Nicely done

This is absolutely your coolest project so far! Can't wait to see this in final form.

Hell yeah I got to see the 2JZ mower run for the first time on my birthday May 2nd

I love how that thing looks!.. I want a poster of it in my garage

Somehow missed it before but I love the cam shaft steering shaft. You guys rock!

That motor STRIVES for a turbo!! Mid size precision turbo for quick spool .. 👌

For the foot-plate, you should add angled pieces going out farther and angling up And then make tapered circle gussets(you guys have a tool for that right?) and sharpen the edges of the circle gussets -so it grips your feet good and you can have a comfortable foot stance -I was also thinking a small snowmobile seat(shortened/modified) might be a good fit? -also I was thinking you should have two different clutches -ONE of them being a lever connected to the suicide shifter, that way you can always have access to clutch/brake/gas and less confusing-Hope it helps? lmk what you think!! Otherwise sweet build - Amazing machine! -Also I like how it still kinda has that tractor sound idk what muffler you used, but it has good effect!

@1:42 They have a pile of good used parts that has everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink!

This is buy far the coolest build on RU-vid

Race seat with 5 point harness on tractor seat suspension springs on this is a must!!!

Gotta luv the 2 second shake down before putting the boot into it and getting it sideways...lol. Awesome job guys, keep living the dream. 🇦🇺🙃👎

Your seat is your only Suspension, Saved you from getting bounced out of the seat lol , Awesome build Fellas 🙂👍

I didn't even know you had it running and driving I've been working so much badass you guys

Life OD started this project long ago and never finished it. They sold the channel to some fat guy. You made the dream come true

I've got a deutz Allis , the brother from the same mother as the Simplicity. And I even thought it was kinda cool with a 30hp Briggs I swapped on it. Then ya went and got all 2JZ on me 😃 This is badass 🤩

That is awesome can't wait to see you finish it completely. Keep up the great builds.

The pedals aren't so much of a problem as long as you remember that you gotta use your left foot to do both. I've heard of race cars in the past that ended up with a similar setup, requiring the driver to only use their left foot for the brake

I love this I thought I was gonna be the only one with a fast mower!! You guys did a great job!💪🏼💪🏼

Well done! Well done, Fella's! Enjoy the content.

Love seeing Old Mc2J (that's what I call it for now) lovin'!

I'm so stoked about this Rat Tractor, looking great, sounds sweet. Definitely my favorite

Ive been lerking for awhile glad to see you reach your goal. Nice job 👏

They should really use a big bucket seat for the rotory trike, it would look nice and keep you secure

Love y’all’s work an I’m happy to see the mower goin been waiting lol I build a few thing here an there can’t do much without all the right tools but I just tasted out my buggy I just put a 450 grizzly motor on I got all my inspiration from u guys thanks for that an keep it up soon I’m start videos of my builds

gotta give it to these lads!!! i dont think many people got the balls to try n build n drive something like this!!

This thing looks like the perfect combination of fun and danger.

Probably too late, but you could build a bracket that will hang the brake pedal, and unbolt and flip the reservoir. It'll feel more natural and it'll allow the pedals to travel in similar strokes. Looks like you've got the realestate off the steering tower to build a brace/mount.

Honestly simplicity fits the build so well name wise y’all should like clear coat that

It's looking like an open wheeled racer from the 1920s! Pretty cool.

I liked the idea of keeping it looking as much like a tractor as possible. I hope some changes and wheels and tires are made to get back to that look as much as possible. But awesome build.

I've been watching since the first barbie jeep video, awesome that you guys got so big

Straight badass! Amazing work guys!

Needs a overhead “tractor” bar/ roll cage, like from a Kubota. Freaking love it guys!! Thanks for always keeping me entertained! I love you guys!
