Legendary era of Spike and Powerblock. Sure there were sponsorships, but they need to break even too. We still learned stuff from this guy. They dropped off big time when Stacey left.
Trucks definitely was not the same after Stacey left. No offense to Kevin Tates, bc he definitely knows how to build, but Stacey isn't a host...he's an instructor. That's why I always loved this era of his builds. Tomb Raider, Lil Red Wagon...so many awesome builds.
Entertaining I've give them that. My son just purchased a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and he is doing the lift, repairing some rust, addressing electrical issues, installing a roof rack, repairing the sound system, bigger tires, brakes, new heavy duty front and rear bumpers, winch, coolant system, control arms, etc. himself in his drive way with just a couple of floor jacks and jack stands. A friend is making the custom bumpers and my son will do the welding and powder coating. All of this in the evenings and on the weekends, with a day job and he isn't a mechanic. I say this for anyone looking to do mods/upgrades to their off-roaders that you don't need a fancy shop, deep pockets ( do some competitive shopping) or think the only way to get what you want is to pay someone to do it for you. My son has made mistakes, learned a lot along the way, had some speed bumps, but when he finishes it, he'll know he did 99% of it himself and will have pride in that. Plus know that if something happens on the trail, he'll have the knowledge to hopefully fix it and keep rolling. My old daily and now his, is a 2005 Jeep TJ Rubicon, 6-speed manual. Not what you would get on the highway with but darn fun to play in the dirt with.
The dad is an absolute buzz kill. That is your son's jeep. Let him build it how he wants to and he will learn from this build what he likes for the future.
OMG Powernation, you guys ran out of materials or what? Republish a such old video recorded from 5-8 years ago....?! Come on, get new videos to publish!
@davidcaskey4669 My landcruiser has a sticker on the back window. It says "Nice Jeep Peasant" no jelly here all I do on trecks is save jeeps blocking my route.....
@@charlesbronson7618 my 93 has no tow hook points on the back just a push bumper on the front to push those under powered rice burners through the mud or up the hills when they power out and can't go any farther. That sticker in your window says it all you wish you had a jeep
@@charlesbronson7618 I'll drive my little stright 6 right around that barge you have you bought a land barge to go off road I bet it looks great with the off road pinstripes it get being so wide. Do you have to run wide load signs front and back or just have flag cars
