I don't live far from you guys and I built a frame with 8 1/2 foot pontoons to float my can am which I no longer have. Would love to see it on your channel floating mud life!
Call it what U want... I'm just happy this sxsblog vid didn't end in destruction or crashes or roll-overs or blown engines. All jokes aside, love the content, keep up the good work. Get those barrels 6-8" lower and it should lift the wheels/car high enough in the water to actually propel it and not slow it down. And try driving it backwards, you might actually have some steering.
If you mount an outboard motor on the back, use sea-doo steering cables to hook up to the steering column on the Ranger so you don’t have to have two people driving and they can work in conjunction with the front tires to steer
A while back it was explained when Doug decided to devote all of his time to the channel. Pretty sure I remember his profession mentioned a few times in much older videos as well.
The early 90s adrenaline music!!!! Lmao!!! Makes me wanna drink a budweiser while running on a beach with 90s pam anderson towards my fighter jet where flash gordon (sam jones) is my copilot!!
In This Episode- The DNR sites the crew for not registering a boat, 'Barrelts' are invented, Matt mans a safety jetski, Frankie makes a devastating comment about ownership of a strapon then pees on camera, Rich Rules, & Leo Swears!
I love this video. Remove the rear barrelt, add one more barrelt to each side, extend the sides out to make it wider to possibly have a platform on, then mount and outboard on the rear. And maybe plastic barrelts instead. Thanks for your content.
The first thing that came to mind for me was the Fordson screw drive tractor that you could buy many many decades ago. Search that model and it comes right up in the results
We use to submerge two aluminum rocket fuel tanks about the size of a drum on a stainless rack to chem mill the outside of them and had to use two 55 gal. drums of water to sink them.
If you guys put a 6x6 ranger diff in it with the pass through you could weld a prop shaft on the pass through of the diff and mount a prop to the rear diff, that way you can still use the engine to propell yourself
Weld a big ol' skid plate to the underside of that front barrelt, make the side barrelts pointy at the front and strap on a outboard...n get you an offroad party boat!
I can’t wait to see this thing evolve, you should put some bilge pumps in it. Maybe propel it with a fan in the bed, that would give you turning ability too.
Mount the drums lower raising the RZR more out of the water and get the top half of the tires out of the water too. Keep everybody dry and give better propulsion.
Take it a few steps forward. Use inflatable pontoons (like rescue rafts) attached to arms that lower from roll cage top. Use aluminum or space cage design if possible to keep light. Sherp like paddle tires would help but jet ski propulsion would be awesome. Make it a kit to sell.
THIS WAS SO FUN!!! I was certain it would be very buoyant. As a kid I had a Yamaha Yfm 100 Champ. It was a ATV, shaft driven, hard tail and maybe 2” of front travel. I jumped off to chase a catfish one evening. When my 100 lbs got off the machine, the tires themselves was enough to have it start gently floating with the current in the light flowing Gila River My opinion, (what I’d like to see) if you could lower the pontoons/bareltz and or get shorter paddle(boat) tires and maybe not have but 2” to 4” of rubber submerged, no rim... I think your propulsion would be quite sufficient. Youz guyz probably already realized this but, the load barring on the suspension is probably almost nonexistent after the barrel to take the load. So, it’s basically at full drupe while floating. Actually the exhaust, because the treads were so submerged, may have been your only actual propulsion. Again, SO FUN.
