The ute is finished! Merlin takes it on it's first road trip as a truck and meets up with some old buddies along the way. There is a surprise at the end of the video that you don't want to miss! Thank you all for watching and thank you for your continued support.

Congratulations, Merlin. I knew that they can't do an Olympics without you. Well done.

@RDCM1008 Год назад

Congratulation to you , your wife, and daughter and your Jimmy. You made me lol at the last running with your ticket. Try to keep it real as you have. Your devotion, philanthropy, skill, attitude and sharing your knowledge is inspiring. Plus no balding products, no whiny Karen and no hocking merch. I thank you for that.

That Honda 350 is my vintage. I’m 67 years old and I remember when bikes like that were all over. It should be is a museum or a serious collector’s place where it will always stay it that condition. Congratulations on 100k subscribers! 👏👏👏

Sad to see someone like Vern have to assign a project to someone else to finish, must be heartbreaking for him. However, there’s no better person to pass the baton to, than Merlin. Love that bike, it’s so clean … I rode thousands of miles on a 1970 triumph T25 Trophy - much the same era… Get well soon Vern, God be with you. 🙏🏻 Thank you Merlin… great little pick-up you got there and congrats on the 100k subs. The only way is up🤣 ❤🇷🇴

Merlin I'd only watched about half of the video when I made the comments. I had no idea you hit that big milestone. Congratulations it's way bigger and way harder than people understand! I just told fab rats congratulations a few days ago. They hit 500 K. Wow what a deal. It's because the channels are good there's no other reason. Keep up the crazy good content. I also learned every time I watch. Thank you so much Merlin. Hang in there buddy.

@TheOldaz1 Год назад

I had a 350 Honda twin in an off-road frame many years ago, surprising just how well they go when properly set up, this brought back a flood of memories. And now you know why we Aussies have a love affair with our utes. Thanks Merlin.

@DJMoore-001 Год назад

Awesome, You hit the 100,000 congrats Merlin you earned it. I am think that little jetta pick up kit is pretty bad ass. Excellent you got the ticket. This is going to be awesome.

@stevescott6503 Год назад

Merlin has fit right in with Paul, Matt, Robbie, and Rory, Chad , and the rest of the crews involved in all of these projects and recoveries.. Even though there is a pretty good distance between them all, they all have each others back. Now I think they can include HeavyDSparks in that group as well. All outstanding people. It all started for me when I got Gold Fever with the Golden Nugget project for Ed. Thanks so much for the great content and also all of the tips and tricks you guys show.Congrats on the award from You Tube, and especially the Golden Ticket. I can't wait to watch all episodes from everyone.

I got started looking for off road trailer builds and found some knucklehead (Matt) dragging a car trailer through the sand!

@MrGaryGG48 Год назад

@@brettmoritz3698 Matt does get into enough trouble on his own but you ought to check out Rory Irish pulling his two axle tube frame trailer up and down trails with a Jeep or some other catastrophe on the back, with his dually beast wrecker. Matt says he's the guy that focuses on renters in the sand (and he's good at it!) while Rory drags people out of cracks in the rocks that sane people won't even "walk" up!! A big part of the time I spend watching these guys, I'm asking myself "What the hell possessed them to think going out there was a good idea, anyway!!??" Just remember, if you get 10 miles out past your bad decision, either of these guys can and probably will save your dopey butt and get you back to civilization!! 😂🤣👍

Congratulations Merlin on several things, the Golden Ticket, the beautiful Jetta pickup, the RU-vid Silver Award which you really deserve, and being able to help out your friend with his 1968 CT350. I tuned those bikes at the local Honda dealer the first year they came out in 1968. They had their problems the first year, clutches were weak, and some even came in new with a motor knock. Honda quickly took care of the situation, and we sold hundreds of them. Vern's is beautiful. I wish him well.

I scrolled through some of the comments but I didn't see one telling you that: You don't need a battery to see if it will run. I ran mine MILES without a battery. If the points, timing, gap are set right and the magneto is working just add some gas to the tank give it a kick and it will run. I really miss mine, especially now that I see that one in such good shape.
