Should we give away a truck next? Built BRZ Rally Car Giveaway www.grindhardplumbingco.com/

@ryanwatkins1821 Год назад

Not a fan of the brz build

@negativereviews5102 Год назад

@@ryanwatkins1821 seems like a hot take

i'd love to see a minijeep build giveaway!! or even one of the old builds!

@markpeterson8978 Год назад

Sure a truck would be cool but what would you do to make it a GHPC treasure?

@derrickhardy1071 Год назад

The button is for brights

Friend of mine has a cummins swapped powerwagon rolling 37's. it's a huge thing.

@Aderin. Год назад

@@Spirit_Lanayru that's amazing, wish we had stuff like this in the UK. But hey, we have some stuff that Americans don't

@miniyota3ur Год назад

My 97 F250 is rolling on 38x15.50s. For certain parts of the country its fairly accurate

@Orofino6 Год назад

In the Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Washington, Oregon) they're not common, but not rare. The snow and mountains require big vehicles to safely make it home. They're also fun to drive.

@simftw7071 Год назад

You guys really need to do a full size offroad build. Completely from scratch, something for Ethan to really showcase his fabrications skills. Like the power wheels but bigger!

@huckabro8030 Год назад

Don’t believe these comments! Always look for the check mark next to the name

@mickmuzzmkmz1628 Год назад

It needs some switchable sway bars. That way you can have the best of both worlds; no body roll for faster turns, then when disengaged, you'll be able to get flex for crawling. I'm sure you guys could even make it switchable electrically or something, so it can be swapped between modes at the flick of a switch!

@PaulyP420 Год назад

Quick connect swaybar links are great

@FlawedOffroad Год назад

or an antirock sway bar

@i_am_terom4810 Год назад

I think it would be simpler to have a spare mount for the sway bar link, mounted on a bearing, and change between sway bar on/off mode by unbolting it and rebolting it on the desired location

@100kent2 Год назад

I definitely said that when I seen it going around them turns thing look like it was about to tip but other than that great build as always ❤

@scrotiemcboogerballs1981 Год назад

It doesn’t surprise me how many people don’t know what a old school headlight dimmer switch is lol

@michaelm.1947 Год назад

I'm surprised he actually guessed somewhat close (I only give him 1/2 credit for flashy beamers).

@reaperasylum Год назад

No kidding I grew up on those switches lol.

@scottpink2013 Год назад

looks like you guys and WD are the kings of body roll now. looks so easy to flip over

@hobbs37110 Год назад

The button on the floor is your hi/low beam for your headlights, not flashers

@keltonfoster Год назад

It's the hi beam switch, miss those old school bits that are unique like that.

eBay decided to send us the truck back for some mudding and snow wheeling! 🎉

@Corn-Pop Год назад

Correct me if I’m wrong but that button on the floor was always high beam switch for headlights in my trucks.

@tylerladerach769 Год назад

the broncos looking good, fantastic work on that custom lift, and those 43"s fill it out well, and it doesn't look goofy for how tall it is, but it definitely needs some sway bars, you don't want to roll her when driving.

@Scottydoing Год назад

Looking forward to topless videos!! Hope you guys take advantage of the modular platform and build lots of custom tops. Cab cap, pop up camper top, soft top are all ones I rock and love

@tt600pch Год назад

The Bronco is a pretty good platform for a Cummins. I met a logger over in western Washington that had a 1991 Bronco and it was so nicely done it looked like it was ordered with a Cummins in it. He had little tires on it (33's).

@leadgindairy3709 Год назад

My dad has a '79 Ford Ranger 250, swapped with a 460ci from a '78 Lincoln Continental, with a custom-made diamond plate dump and a diamond plate toolbox on each side. It's awesome! But the foot switch for the high/low beams is so cool. I wish my car had it too. 😂😂

@neilg3464 Год назад

Looks like whistlindiesel monster max 2 with all that body roll. For real tho I already saw this thing on the trail after this upgrade and omg it looked like it would just flip over. Of course it won’t since you have so much weight down low on the axles but it looks so scary. It actually handled every trail very well. Great job guys. You guys Westin’s team and Lacey’s team all did a great job!!

I changed a head gasket in my cummins two weeks ago and it blew again a few days ago. It's not easy changing those things out when you're old, disabled and solo lol. Now I got bigger problems to worry about.

@Jonah.the.moist.noodle Год назад

That truck will definitely need some limiting straps on it with that type of roll lol

@itsnoteasy5339 Год назад

My dad had one when I was a kid it leaned so much it was absolutely terrifying I mean I could ride in or on anything with a motor but the lean in that thing going around hills after just getting done climbing a hill always had my heart in my throat lol

@joelcoopersmith4020 Год назад

You guys are beyond impressive. This is some insane content!

@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel Год назад

If you run a 12 valve out of diesel generally you have to go through quite a bit of steps to get it going again . But I have done it before by just putting fuel in the tank and using ether to get the engine going and get diesel back up to the engine . Lots of coughing and sputtering , but it'll eventually draw the diesel to where it needs to go . When I used to work in logging we had to start all our equipment that way every morning .

@TrashPandaPirate Год назад

Love this thing, looks absolutely mad! I do agree it definitely needs a swaybar or something.

@brandom198823 Год назад

@S.T.A.N.G Год назад

It’s actually super simple to get them to prime up quick. Just hold a gas rag over the intake of the turbo (don’t let it get sucked into the turbo) after about 1 minute it’s fully bled

@wasawasablingbling Год назад

That's a beast. I've got a CJ-5 with 44s and 14in coil overs . Goes through logged woods like you're on pavement lol

@larrydavidson3402 Год назад

That is an awesome build. Good job guys.

@mikeyd717 Год назад

I knew it was headlights as soon as he said button on the floor. My friend's dad had a 77 3/4ton pickup and I remember asking about that button when I was a kid. I watched that guy tear that truck apart and rebuild it a few times. For a few years it only ran off 6 cylinders. He was a logger and ran that thing extreme off road so the truck took a beating and a half and still kept trudging along. He said he would own it the rest of his life. Im sure he never got rid of it.

@iandaubenspeck1228 Год назад

Ethan sounds straight up exhausted the whole time!

@BobBob-ug1mk Год назад

Some Autofab fiberglass prerunner fenders would make that thing super sick. Or some f500 heavy truck fenders for the front. Then you could widen the axles with some wheel spacers. It still looks frickin awesome. I love your attention to detail even on things that don't get seen. Hope to one day see a build of yours at SEMA. Love your channel. Awesome 👍

@that1guy0219 Год назад

Ah, I remember the first time I seen a dimmer switch on the floor.. it was in the early 90's..I was playing in my parents van.

@lachlanangelini9188 Год назад

I can't help but realize how much it looks like an rc crawler

@monkeybarmonkeyman Год назад

You know what they say about opinions... mine says "I would have run those hydraulic lines straight back into the frame area into a block, then dropped another line forward to the steering. You'd have almost zero flex then - plus you would not need to worry about trail debris grabbing hold of those lines and ripping them open." Nicely done though... can't wait for Champlain to beat the doggs out of it.

@maxthekid5761 Год назад

Oh yeah both of you my favorite RU-vidrs

@randyjackson8138 Год назад

Love broncos and this one is beautiful. Awesome build guys. 🤟😎

@acurarl9929 Год назад

Can just put in stock size sway bars an leave them for wheeling and road driving ect. Will just help with some body roll but not keep it from flexing. Maybe lil more preload on springs may help

@Bibl888 Год назад

this thing looks just like my RC bronco, the oversized tires fit it so good

@aaronbengston3059 Год назад

I don’t know how and why but your projects are always cool❤😍

@Arturro671 Год назад

I honestly thought this button on the floor was for cruise control. In Polish Fiat (Fiat 126p) we had those doing just that. But it was a little bit older of a car I guess :) That's a project idea! You could get one! It's smaller than an original Mini! (Mighty Car Mods drove one in Cuba if I remember correctly, and Tom Hanks received one).

@bdkw1 Год назад

Keep an eye on those beadlocks. The internal rungs may not be wide enough for those tires. Military spec tires have thicker sidewalls.

@iamtheyetty Год назад

Those 20” military rims have a 2” tall bead seat for military style tires. Have to take the plasma to them and cut an inch off for the dot style tires you’re running

Years ago a friend of my brothers borrowed my Dad's truck, a 1983 Dodge D150, and had to ask us how to turn on the headlights (Switch on the dash), the immediately called us back to ask how to turn on the high beams (Switch in the floor) haha!
