I love it when a plan comes together!

@DoctorPrepperMD 4 года назад

Just got done watching your Oregon Wildfire videos (2020) and love going back in time to see this!! You have come a long way from rusty tank fire engine days!

@kenanderson2002 10 лет назад

Great build!! Be careful driving when that tank isn't full... the water sloshing around can throw off the balance of the vehicle especially on hills. Dangerous stuff for such a nice pickup!

@luketdrifter2100 10 лет назад

Any video that starts with The A Team theme song gets ALL the thumbs up

@markt1187 10 лет назад

Nice to hear the family in the background. The best part of living is sharing it with the ones you love. Great video Cody.

@mastatheif9909 3 года назад

AMAZING I NEED TO SEE ALL YOUR OLD VIDS

@robwhite2282 2 года назад

I love the intro to this super old vid. Wow Jack has grown!

@silverfox2852 10 лет назад

Can you bend the top of the rod over so you don't slip and get impaled.

@gthree0239 11 лет назад

Very cool and probably a much needed thing in your part of the country. Hope the fires don't get too close.

@jmchardie 11 лет назад

Perhaps one of the best videos I have even viewed in RU-vid. I did not want a pickup truck before watching this. Keep up the great work.

@w8fg 11 лет назад

"I love it when a plan comes together!" , Love opening to this video! Awesome

@FiremanCH87 11 лет назад

I agree with Captain K-man on the foam. As an alternative talk to your local fire departments about their foam. It has an expiration date and most times it is simply disposed of. If you were to get your hands on a cube of that you be set for life. Plus the AFFF foam will work on 3D and petroleum fires. A definitely good thing to have around if you have a building or vehicle fire

@fastst1 6 лет назад

Outstanding farm build!! Its a steel tank so it'll get rusty fast, If you can get some expired AFFF from the station or we used to use Arm & Hammer phosphate free laundry detergent powder 4 cups for 300 gallons kept the water in storage crystal clear, no more tomato soup and helps with the wetting action.

@carnagie85 11 лет назад

Superb work Cody. And if you mount it on a trailer it will be perfect, because if you need it in an emergency it will save you time from having to pick it up on to the truck. With a trailer, just attaché and go.

@vonmurd3r 11 лет назад

That is the coolest thing I've seen you make yet.

@gert-jan5573 11 лет назад

First of, im a big fan of what you are doing, keep up the good work!! as a tip When we use a water pump we hang the input hose in an old washing machine drum, this acts as a filter against leaves and other coarse material

@rj270812 11 лет назад

I love your videos! Not just for the cool projects you do, but mostly for the valuable lessons like "patience" and taking the time to complete the small details to do the job right. Thank you for taking the time to share!!!

@THEMOWERMEDIC1 11 лет назад

i love it when a plan comes together!

@danielremine77 11 лет назад

Cody first of all great intro to the vid. Second I would be on the lookout for a small boat trailer to mount everything to so that the take could be kept full and all you or the family would have to do is back the truck up and go. Third is keep up the great work brother. Because of you we are all inspired :)

@Table_Top_Farms 10 лет назад

My cousin and I have built two small rigs on 4 wheelers. They hold only about 20 or so gallons, but we can watch our burns, and can take a good chunk of grass fire out. We also have a side by side that we can use to fight fires, or we can pull a trailer with it and use it as a tanker, or engine. They work great in areas near us until our volunteer fire department can get there. But if the fire is far from the house then we have to go get on the rigs at the station.

@selador11 11 лет назад

Dude, sometimes I think you are living every grown boy's dreams! I think it must be illegal somewhere, to be having that much fun! God Bless you and yours! And keep it up!

@g14armory 11 лет назад

Just watched the video, great Job!!! Believe it or not, a pressure washer wand works great on those skid units, you can really dig into burning stumps and piled up undergrowth with them. Again, Great job from one FF to another.

@jaredrobeson4955 10 лет назад

Very very very cool!, Love the theme music, I love the A-team.

@OctoberHourglass 11 лет назад

A very basic tip on welding Cody (I'm sure you already know), just pretend you're writing cursive "O"s until you reach the end of your weld. It's simple & the best advice I've ever recieved when I started welding. Your spot welds look nice brother. Keep up the great work!

@frankcirino578 11 лет назад

You think of just about everything, The Great Wranglerstar.

@MontananMillionaire 10 лет назад

My Godfather was a Fire Chief and a horse rancher, he would have liked this concept. Great job!!!

@TheMetroFarmer 11 лет назад

You have a well done solution for a real problem. I pray you never need it. I fear you may.

@hmhumes 11 лет назад

Nice build, I'm doing the same but using a 250 gallon IBC tote for the tank. I'mn still gathering parts. I'd recommend that you install a site glass so you can tell how much water is in your tank.

@Blarb28 11 лет назад

Watching your videos has shown that welding is a critical skill. Any "how-to" manuals you'd recommend on the subject?

@SouthWestIron 11 лет назад

Been welding a while and that weld you showed on the crossmember was nice!

@renemanjr123 10 лет назад

I love it when a plan comes together

@iksnyzrog 11 лет назад

I would have never guessed that you'd put a Phish song in one of your videos. Great video.

@xXxCatsnakexXx 11 лет назад

What a fantastic prep!

@samuelheino5448 10 лет назад

Great idea! the local volunteer fire department is slow coming to our area. We should have built something like this years ago.

@darkesttemplar07 11 лет назад

Here's a tip. If you plan on pulling from a pond, get a 5 gallon bucket and drill some holes in the sides and on the bottom and tie it onto the intake hose. It's a good pre filter for the strainer that you have there. Keeps ya from having to reposition the hose.

@TheBiglew415 11 лет назад

Love the A-Team theme song at the beginning! Perfect choice!!!

@climbamtn111 11 лет назад

That intro is epic for sure.

@garthks 7 лет назад

Harbor Freight Tools also sells the Honda Powered High Pressure Water Pumps complete with the 2 inch suction hoses. The only things one would need to get else where, would be the Proper Sized Truck, and Water Tank to mount, and plumb into the Pump.

@mrbadhabit73 10 лет назад

Awesome setup. That will come in handy in a emergency.

@KosukiFire 8 лет назад

To save water, if you can, get a high pressure pump with a lower flow of water. Dont need a 300gpm attack line. Waterax males a great pump line as well as a honda 2" high pressure pump. 2" hondas fo about 100gpm amd 100psi. Perfect for brush.

@bert26a 11 лет назад

Pretty cool setup my buddy and I are both Volunteer FireFighters and were talking about building something similar but using one of those 270 gallon IBC totes and my 2" Monarch pump. I think for quick couplers what you want are cam-lock fittings but keep the threaded fittings in case you ever have to hook up to proper fire department equipment.

@Adelaide_Transit 4 года назад

That’s a really impressive slip on, I’d recommend the TTI brand slip on kits, for about 3 grand you can get 3000L of water with a Honda motor with two 1.5” rapid attack lines.

@thump186 11 лет назад

Awesome job Cody... I wish i jad half the resources you find. We dont have homestead like that on the ea

@ericbarasch123 11 лет назад

Awesome! Great job, and great to see Jack driving.

@iMatt65 11 лет назад

Well done Cody. I really like the size of the tank you used. Weight should be fine at reasonable speeds.

@coolhomedog 10 лет назад

that was a cool intro made my day

@TheRealXesc 11 лет назад

You are so awesome, Cody! It's not just the stuff you have, the workshop, the farm, etc - it's just as much what you make of what you have. I envy your ability to think something up, and then actually doing it. I think about making a lot of things, but it's that last step; to actually do it, that fails :)

@RamSkirata 9 лет назад

A-Team Music :) YES :)

@mossfamily2000 3 года назад

😂. Love it.

@BryanDenlingerKJVM 11 лет назад

Just like a big kid playing with his new fire engine! :) Now you have to paint that old water tank, and put your Wranglerstar logo on the sides.

@csglover1 11 лет назад

What a great video Cody. Lol at Mrs. Wranglerstar not coming close to watch the tank getting filled :-)

@joehunter57 10 лет назад

good job on the water tank, thanks for the video

@christopheryoung8190 10 лет назад

Your welding is far better than mine. That looks like a very useful rig. I hope you never need it. Like C. Harper says, take it really slow on corners and hills.

@garthks 7 лет назад

Harbor Freight Tools sells the 3/4 inch Red Hard Booster Hose in 50 foot lengths. About 3 lengths of this hose mounted on some sort of reel would be perfect for this Application. In fact, Harbor Freight also sells the reels, and Honda Powered High Pressure Water Pumps complet

@MrAirbiscut 11 лет назад

I really like your video's, the Phish at the end of this one earns a double thumbs up

@thinredline8939 8 лет назад

I have been wanting to build stuff like this for a while. I hope to build some water tanks and more for firefighting. I don't have a truck though so I will have to put it on a trailer lol. Anyways looks pretty Awesome. Not many people do videos like this, so Thank You for making this video.

@obfuscated3090 6 лет назад

If you fab your own read up on BAFFLES to reduce sloshing. Unbaffled liquid tanks can be dangerous during emergency maneuvers, and they are easy to install in a tank you fabricate. Look up "brush trucks" etc to see how the pros build them. Also consider making the whole unit as a skid so it's easy to remove and install.

@chandlerfrog09173 11 лет назад

I always enjoy watching your show. God willing one of these days My family and I will be able to become self sustaining. I am working on it. However, my wife is not too thrilled with the idea. I am still in the military few more years I will be retired. God Bless you and your family.....

@fighting17chicago 11 лет назад

Great idea Cody!

@NamelessHobo 10 лет назад

I like this idea a lot. I'd like to build something similar for myself, some day.

@CampfireTalk 11 лет назад

This maybe be the best intro ever made : ) way to go too on getting the tank loaded after the tow motor went down. Good lesson in there about resourcefulness.

@MrPholding 8 лет назад

I was thinking about building similar setup for doing prescribed burns on our hunting land. Ever thought about putting a recirculating line from outgoing side of pump back into tank for when pump is running but not flowing water?

@djdavidj5531 8 лет назад

I am build a rig like this and this is my concern. I need to find a way to make a pressure relief valve that will feed back into the tank when the flow stops through the hose.

@EVModules 4 года назад

I've seen some would simply stick the nozzle in the tank. I built my setup that has a pressure bypass that allows the pump to keep running during short periods when the water's not being pumped out of the hoses. It's a simple pressure relief valve that loops from the output to the intake feed. Normally, I'd plumb it back to the tank but I needed my pump to be self contained & portable for other uses.

@rohnny77 11 лет назад

Amazing work. You r all in one person. Just one point of query why did u weld out the 1 inch oulet and out a 2 ich outlet. you could just use a convertor. May be u could have more pressure. same thing for the outlet on the pope u were spraying with. the smaller the outlet the more pressure.

@goriverman 10 лет назад

cool setup, great video

@libarata 10 лет назад

Just have to upgrade the leaf springs when you get a chance!

@Shawnee845 11 лет назад

If you set up the truck where it had Nozzles to spray the water, it will put out a brush fire better then having a hose squirting out water a section at time. Location should be in front of the bumper and I would say having the spray nozzles about 6" apart and about 2' high. you will use less water. give it a go! there is a clip on you tube from Gears spike TV with Stacy David.

@jlop5814 11 лет назад

WOWWWW This is really cool. Good work Cody.

@1crazynordlander 11 лет назад

Great idea and nice work. Question is how soon can you have it ready from off the truck and being empty to being fire ready? Looks like you have good flow from your tower but nothing more frustrating then watching a fire burn and your tank isn't in your truck full of water. Trailer it and keep it full maybe? Just a suggestion. I have been buying IBC tanks from our farm supply for $20 and they are 275 gallon I can get three on my trailer but I keep one full on it. Nice steel tank!

@Largewhiteguy1 11 лет назад

HAH! The A-Team. Great choice. Neat truck too!

@forestdavegump 10 лет назад

Another great video and the theme song is the best. Great job all around.

@propdoctor21564 10 лет назад

Great video !! Somehow I never saw this before... Love the A-Team opening !!

@anneirenej 11 лет назад

Okay, i am officially jealous of you having a fork lift...also very cool fire fighting rig.

@g14armory 11 лет назад

Nice!!! Cant wait to see the Video.... I have alot of hours on a skid unit, Awesome addition to the homestead!!

@robbullard4288 11 лет назад

Would make a heck of a power washer for your house to.

@HawkLMT 11 лет назад

Great job! Are you eventually going to have that set up on a trailer? Very cool letting Jack drive.

@KyleEllis1989 11 лет назад

very cool this is something I havent thought about but should have

@johndixon9988 11 лет назад

Don't forget some dishwashing liquid to help with penetration of the water! One quart dumped into batch mixing of the 266 tank will make it way more effective. But I guess you know this since I heard you mention you were a wildland firefighter in the past.

@BeachBow 11 лет назад

You talk about "it doesn't have to be designed crazy", but you played the theme from A-Team on the intro!! LOL!! Had me ducking for cover!! Now that you've "tested" the tank, what are you going to do with the extra water in the tank so you can unload it from the truck? Also, just to play devils advocate, what/how would you unload it, but keep it full of water? Always good to have a backup plan. JMHO. Great job McIver!

@massis32210 11 лет назад

good job cody!!!

@epiphaknee 11 лет назад

"Come on over and see what happens..." That phrase can get you in a lot of trouble!! LOL!! Very Cool (pun intended)!

@Allofthemonkeys 11 лет назад

Loved the Ateam intro

@waltlars3687 10 лет назад

I second the idea of a site glass or tube and the D ring tie downs in the truck have You thought about a water trailor ? You could pull it with a second truck or a quad ?

@tango165 11 лет назад

Great stuff Cody.

@EVILDR235 9 лет назад

I have a friend that is his own fire department. He lives right on a county line. In order to have fire service he has to pay one county or the other a $500.00 a year fee to get fire service. He went and bought two fire trucks at a auction . For water he has a 8,000 gallon tank of hauled in city water and a above ground stainless steel tank that use to be on a semi truck that was used to haul milk mounted 24 feet up in the air and kept filled by a Aermotor windmill. Plenty of wind where he is at.

@xWithBrokenWingsx 11 лет назад

yet another awesome video

@timreid9556 5 лет назад

He is a better driver than some adults I know

@GarlingerBrettJ 11 лет назад

Great Video!! Almost would've thought that you would've used some Jeep Wrangler set up. Something along the tv show "dune rats or desert rats" sort of thing. Still love the 250 though!!

@juwright1949 11 лет назад

MacGyver @ 0.11 perfect!!!! Now all you need is a SAK !

@chrisblack7036 8 лет назад

+Wranglerstar build a big nozzle on the top of the truck where is can be removed and make it able to swivel 360 degrees so you can have it a lot easier!

@meathead76 11 лет назад

Nice to hear Phish in the outro.

@sadflea4943 10 лет назад

You got skills!

@lynndixon7906 11 лет назад

Nice Job! As I become more familiar with your project, I continue to be impressed with your ability do do a lot with a little - if you know what I mean.

@FiremanCH87 11 лет назад

Also contemplate shortening your suction line. You'll take advantage of the head pressure produced instead of making the pump draw through the loops you had setup.

@Captkman 11 лет назад

If you add a compressor or a air tank and inject some air into the hose somehow you could have a CAFS. That would extend your water by a lot. For class A foam just use Dawn dish soap. All class A foam is, is Dawn with a carbon binder. Even if you don't make a CAFS the Dawn might be good to add to your tank H2O. The Dawn will lower the surface tension of the water and help it absorb into the smoldering duff putting the fire out easier.

@TexasLife39 11 лет назад

Great video as always. I was wondering what kind of gloves are you using???

@NoProGoPronto 11 лет назад

You are the ultimate man! Great work!

@tomfafard 11 лет назад

I wish I could "play" all the time! Love this cody and thank you for sharing. I thought it was funny when Mrs. Wranglerstar wouldn't come close because she figured you would squirt her. LOL makes you even more like real people! I love you guys I learn so much from you.
