Let’s Jump This Off-Road Dodge Viper 

90's Dodge interior failing before mechanical components: Good Enough

This thing is absurd in the best way possible. What a treat to see it out, doing what you built it to do. It's rewarding to watch, so I can't imagine how good those jumps felt in person. Keep it up, I can't wait to see the landspeed car out there breaking a record next.

“I fixed this by mashing down on the throttle” is by far the best solution for the viper in any off-road encounter

The officer that pulled him up: "Do u know why i stopped u?" "No, sir" "Sick car bruh"

- Building an off-road Viper: crazy human - Building it on jack stands: super human

Imagine transforming your car to this degree and never looking into how to take off the hardtop. Love this guy

This thing's like a bald eagle diving head-first into an apple pie with Bruce Springsteen blaring in the background. It is a triumph of man over sense and reason. It brings a tear to my eye just basking in such greatness.

I will be honest, when you announced this project I did not expect the viper to ever drive, let alone go offroad. I was proven wrong and I am glad I was!

This is by far the coolest thing anybody has ever done to a Dodge Viper. I wish more people did this sort of thing more often.

I'm in my 40s..to this day if i see a viper i turn my head. They still have a special place for us that grew up when they came out. Gorgeous cars even now.

Comes in at a strong 2nd to the best thing you've made competition. After the ham sandwich ofc.

Matt, I've got to hand it to you. I really thought you had lost your mind for cutting up a viper but this thing is 100% tight. This is what the Internet was meant for.

1:16 You can take the man out of the 4Runner, but you cannot take the 4Runner out of the man

Spent years hearing a man that says "I don't have the money for it" compared to my 25 years of sim racing without the money to get a racing license do, build and drive some of the most incredible things I've dreamed of and I still can't be happier for him. Living the best life, Matt. Enjoy it, you're earning it 😊 🤙

No joke, 28 years ago my friend and I were arguing about vehicles and he said the Viper was the best. I told him "not offroad," and he replied "give me a viper, 2 years, and $200,000 and it will be.". Because of that, I am SO EXCITED for this build! Who would have thought a stupid conversation between children would come full circle! Edit: spelling

"I fixed it by mashing the throttle" Perfect solution and I love it

I love "let's figure out how to put a cabin air filter into this" after it's already been filled with dust. Never change, Matt.

A roof mounted tent! Part of me laughs and another thinks that would be sick!

Imagine being lost in the desert, completely dehydrated, exhausted & partially hallucinating, then you see THIS in the distance doing donuts, while thinking it's an off road Miata.

I'm storked to finally seeing her get dirty woo hoo. Good job my friend. Fantastic first off-road test! Stiffen up compression all 4 corners, you can get away w/12-15psi. Youve got it over tire, a lil shroter and skinner will make a huge different you will not regret. Your build reminds me of a '73' pinto I raised up about 3" wide street tires and the rest stock. Great memorys in the AZ. desert. Enjoy my friend! I'm 67yrs now and pinto was only one year old when lifted it lol yes been off-roading all my life.

Damn. Seeing that Viper jump was beautiful enough to get a grown man to cry.

2:38 but I DO care about this! 😭

1:36 I love seeing Matt finally winning the war against his 3d printer.

I really love your humor and sarcasm. I had a buddy in the 70's who got similar gas mileage, but it was 4.2 GPM, and only in a straight line. Keep entertaining.

Ahh yes very clever to highlight the Viper series off road scene prop, because I have done my homework on the Viper show's making lol, and recently watched a show about how they made the series and used look- alike props for the show's offroad scenes, because the Viper was too expensive to use like that lol. I immediately seen the resemblance, which is epic btw because that prop looked sooo good lol. I waited years to see a real life off road Viper! Great video!

It is never about miles per gallon, it all about smiles per mile. And this exceeded all my expectations

about 25 years ago my parents bought me and my brother RC trucks, the ones from Traxxas, the real ones. my brother bought a standard truck shell that he easily painted and trimmed to look natural. I, instead, bought a viper shell made for a road car because it was my favorite car. by the time it was fitted to the truck without rubbing i had trimmed off almost as much as you've removed for your real one. thanks for making a silly childhood fantasy of mine into real life

I just finished building an off road Mercedes 500SL roadster for the Gambler 500. It's absurd in the best way. Highly recommend.

I love it when I find a video like this - someone having maximum fun. You even made the feral desert donkeys smile.

It was landing jumps and hitting bumps with composure. Nothing even really broke. I'm impressed. Good job Matt.

This is a thesis on how you can turn a dodge viper into a better offroad vehicle than the cybertruck

A few days ago Sampson Boat Co released a video of Tally Ho sailing for the first time. Now you release a video of your Viper off-roading for the first time. Coincidence? I think not. Man, what a time to be alive.

Now if you lose control and go off road because it’s a Viper you can just play it off like it was all part of the plan. Genius 😎

7:19 "I did eventually find a nice jump.. that gave a sort of smooth landing... *SMOOTH ENOUGH TO JUMP IT ABOUT 15 TIMES *" 😂😂😂

When you asked us subscribers what the next project should be I thought the offroad viper was a joke. Here you are now, and I am very glad you are. Bless the algorithm!

Matt wins the internet for the week. Again.

Loved the 'Certified good enough' sticker flapping, hanging on for dear life. Cracked me up 😂

Award for best thumbnail that looks cgi/photoshopped but isn’t 🙌 legendary build. Love it

Sitting here with my Viper TV show box set just super happy that someone else remembers it. The off road mode in that show started my lifelong obsession with lifted off road sports cars.

Just absolute poetry in motion. I love the post-subscribe scene showing how bent those steering mounts were. 14/10 no notes.

I'm frankly impressed the Viper managed 4.2 MPG going (I'm hailing the algorithm here) full throttle most of the day. That's only about half what my daily gets on surface streets. I couldn't stop smiling through the entire video, good enough.

This will probably mean nothing from an anonymous person on the internet but I am legit proud of you lol. This is amazing.

My testing procedure for making motorcycle parts is exactly the same as yours for testing your home built parts. Build it twice as strong as you originally think it needs to be, and then punish the machine in ways you'll probably never do again and see what breaks. Redesign the broken part, build it, install it, and repeat the cycle until parts stop breaking. It's fun, educational, and a little bit dangerous... which is fun, as well.

Lot of people talking about how it's crazy, but really this is just how cars are supposed to be

ngl, the shots in the intro looked more like beamNG than real life. kudos on making something so ridiculous its more at home in a vehicle destruction simulator video game than irl

Honestly, better mileage than I was expecting!

Man, that suspension tuning is impressive! just the right amount of 'nuh uh' when hitting bumps

Didn't know I wanted an off-road Viper till now! It looks and sounds amazing!!

I LOVE WHEN PPL DO SPORTCARS OFFROAD THAT'S MY FAVORITE TUNING/MODIFICATION THING

Amazing! When a shake-down is better than many highlight reels! That top-down drone shot of the drag race? Superb!

I think everyone's inner-child jumped up and down in their seats this say! We finally see the Viper offroad. Still one of the craziest ideas I have seen and I fully support it! You built the travel perfectly I was worried about the body. But, the bumpstops did their job and the shocks look to be valved and have the right pressure/oil. Really, great job on this Matt!

I love that philosophy "all of your offroad problems can be solved with an 8 liter v10"

It was never designed to be the best off roader, it was always designed to be a child’s poster on his bedroom wall, and if thats the measure of success, i’d say you and this project are vastly successful.

So amazing to see this thing finally eating some dirt. shame it ate too much, but we're all hoping for a speedy recovery. this build turned out absolutely sick.

The Delorean from back to the future ISNT REAL?

Perforated semi truck exhaust stack covers for your side pipes. I'd love to see this in the sand with some paddle tires! Great build Matt!

That Viper jumping shot at 7:27ish is so cool

1:22 As excited I was to see this random cool build show up on youtube It was like someone through a bucket of water on the fire when roof top tent was mentioned

“I am more fun than smart” is one of the best things I heard as of late. Great job dude!🤟

There isn't a single thing cooler on RU-vid. Grind hard plumbing monster chopper is a close second

Your videos are seriously cool, keep 'em coming!

One of the craziest yet functional car conversions ever!

being born in 1990, the viper always had some legendary status for me. you could be driving a ferrari, a porsche, hell even a lamborghini. but when the viper rolled in, my jaw would REALLY drop. seeing your rally viper, i am 100%´agreeing that WHY has no one done one earlier, it looks unbelievable

This is the glorious, bat-ish crazy content I needed today. I'm at a loss for words. Can't wait to see the repairs and modifications now that its been tested.

you should install one of those dakar fans in the rear windscreen. insane build, great vid!

The perfect lunch break, and so nice to see this project finished. It's been a long way since the first videos but we're finally here :)

Love it, congratulations 🎉 Looks like one of those vehicles, where owning it is it's own reward. Those are the best kind.

This is so damn cool. I'd always thought an off road Lamborghini would be sweet but this is just as good.

This is engineering I can support. Great content, you're giving me positive vibes for my own future builds.

Matt, I thoroughly love the off-road viper. The speed runs on your custom built vehicle. However, what I love the most is your humor. It kills me every time.

I don't think Ive ever clicked a video so fast

Man, ya did it! Minor prototype growth pains aside, definitely Good Enough. Thanks again for sharing. I jumped my '75 International Harvester Scout ii and bent 4 wheels, blew out the shocks, and broke the rear diff gears. Drove home on the front diff, slowly. I had forgotten about that. FYI, stock ford couriers don't jump well.

For an absolutely absurd build that HAS to be fun, if not frustrating, to drive, this is the most clinical anodine wild car video I've ever seen. New to the channel thanks to the algorithm. Love the build, but presentation needs work my friend. Still giving you the like, and hope you grow your channel. Cheers.

so awesome. 90s kid here, the viper is a legend and deserves this mad max shit

That is insane. MecE student here, doing shit like this is my dream!

I love this car and this build. So happy to see it actually going off road!!

I had a dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 that only 4mpg. Built 383,manual shift 727 with a reversed shift valve body. That was back in the 80's and cheap fuel. Very cool build, way more than good enough, it's a viper.

A cabin air filter i highly reccomend, not just cause or the dust but if youre running the AC the dust sticks and builds up to the evaporatoe core and will eventually limit the airflow through the vents to nothing.

Congratulations on such a cool project

AWESOME! Okay now make it four-wheel drive by adding two electric wheel hub motors and a teeny tiny battery somewhere. Off-road viper hybrid!

This has nothing to do with Formula One....AND I LOVE IT. This project is amazing and absolutely unique. Congrats!

My dad had a Dodge Viper once, and he got into a wreck with another car and landed in the median. Whether a Viper goes off the road by accident or on purpose, it will always be a mistake that the driver will be devastated by. Just like my dad when he wrecked his Viper. But somehow, some way, this dude managed to break that curse with his off road Viper. Awesome build man, hope to see more of it.

I stopped everything I was doing at work to watch this, I was looking forward to this day 😭

It drives so gooooood! Edit: "enough"

Hope you brought a whole case of air filters with ya! :D And.... I'm pretty sure I coughed when you turned on the blower. :O

something about a off-road viper jumping dirt makes me smile

the secret to your success in videos besides doing certified good enough stuff is your realistic view of the average persons attentionspan, one just almost never get the urge to skip a few seconds.

That thumbnail!!!!

420 centi-miles per gallon. Nice!

Spare tires in the back would look amazing. I would pass the tent idea. Keep the spirit of the fast prerunner theme. Amazing work. Owner of two myself.

This guy's narrating such a funny video in a documentary's way which makes it even funnier and funner. Cool project!

After almost three decades in the automotive aftermarket in SoCal, things get old and lame, especially in Newport, but I was smiling all the way through this video 😊

That MPG is about what you'd expect in race conditions. Remember throwing rocks is still propulsion, it's now jet skis work.

When you hit the slow-mo jump with the camera under the car, I thought to myself, this part would be perfect if he edited in the Ferris Bueller Ferrari parking garage guys' jump.........and you didn't disappoint. Well done!

Thank you for building an off-road Viper and making a movie about it.

WOOW! The Mad Max's Viper 😁😁

What a beautiful machine. Love to see that realtime

I know the bumper didn't hit on that particular jump, but there are plenty of other jumps out there that will buck that rear end up and cause that bumper to turn into a dirt speed brake. At that point there's a good chance it'll just endo instead. Your only recourse is to mash the throttle on the jump and only let off when your rear tires are about to hit.

I've been here far longer than I remember and I'm truly glad to see the Offroad Viper in action!!! AMAZING AND WILD is all I can say!!!

Awesome video! Much better than many vlogs in yt
