This man saved a piece of very special storm chasing history. It's being restored & hopefully someday again will hit the road. TIV 1 really was something else. To see it in that condition kinda hurt a bit. Just glad it's got a new owner like TIV 2 does.
@MrGamingPro It’s called a TIV not a TITUS, but I understand your confusion! Edit: well I guess I’m the dumbass now lmao edit edit: the Titus would actually not live in a tornado not even a EF1.
If it were up to me, I would preserve the TIV as is, and arrange for it to be put in a museum somewhere. Nevertheless, glad to see she's no longer just rusting away.
Bro you saved her ultimately grateful to u guys please restore it has so much potential it's more than a hunk of metal it's dreams and history all in one it means so much to us fans thank u for saving her 😁 you guys just earned my honest respect and subscription u saved a piece of storm technology and history god Bess u guys!
Glad to see it's still around I remember watching storm chasers as a kid when this was the main vehicle before TIV2, hope the rebuild goes good, btw are you keeping the 7.3 powerstroke or changing it out with a new engine like a 6.7 powerstroke or a Cummins diesel.
It didn't disappear she was abandoned and Sean made it a game. She was found by this dude in the middle of bumfuck nowhere Kansas. Why Sean didn't sell her too is mind blowing
@@ashleycantrell9844 I guess he just didn't want to deal with it anymore. I would assume to bring back to CA with whatever mechanical issues it has and get it running would be more expensive than to leave it.
Just curious but are the tornados still gonna be on the side of tiv when your done restoring? There kinda my favorite thing of tiv 1 because of what they mean
While I'm glad that TIV1 won't be forgotten, I *am* disappointed to hear that you're planning on changing it. If it were me I'd restore it to its original look, & maybe even put on a few things that seem to have been removed, such as the front foglights. Please hit me up if you decide to sell it to someone else in the future.
It would be cool when you finished restoring tiv 1 you could meet up with Ryan Sheperd so tiv 1 and tiv 2 could meet again, i hope restoring tiv 1 is going good so far. Please keep us updated
I figured with as many issues as that thing had during production of the shower before TIV 2, that they scraped it or it ended up on a back lot at discovery never to be found again
This might be annoying but how did they change the head lamps isn’t there like a metal plate behind it sorry for being Annoying just really like this mess of a truck 🫣

Hey man keep us updated this was my favorite tiv I hear it had a 90 gallon fuel tank I am happy someone found it and decided to rebuild it
When they ran it out of fuel during a chase, I remember hearing Sean say 30 gallons, that's all I'm taking. So you're probably right.
Imagine how expensive
Man I thought that thing was dismantled like 10 years ago

I can’t believe this thing is still around, much less somebody found it and plans on restoring it.
nice to see that your're restoring this amazing vehicle. i'm looking forward to seeing you complete rebuilding this!
It belongs in a museum

If i found it, id be watching storm chasers while sitting in the drivers seat 😂
"Hehe im literally sitting in that tank"
Definitely keep us updated. The orginal TIV should be preserved.
I know Sean sold the TIV 2, but it was weird that the TIV 1 just disappeared. Hopefully the restoration continues!

I’m so happy this wasn’t destroyed I loved the show and the tiv was amazing although could use alittle fixing up and cleaning
Hey man, i hope you haven't abandoned this project, would kill to see it back in action or at least in working condition sometime!
Hey man this is really awesome, hope you can upload a vid of when you guys are done with it 🤙🏻
Just curious but are the tornados still gonna be on the side of tiv when your done restoring? There kinda my favorite thing of tiv 1 because of what they mean
it looks so cool
I wish you would keep the claws but I see how they don’t do much. It would be cool to get new ones though. Awesome video man!

We've met a few times. I've even chased in tiv2 @stormOfPassion is an awesome group
Does it even run? I'd love to hear that ol 7.3 pur. I read somewhere that one point it had 3 different motors put in it.
I truly wish I could give a price for this vehicle just glad it was found and not scrapped
KEEP THE CLAWS
Na
Please restore it to its Former glory its such a good vehicle 🙏
Three years later and I still wondering what's going on with it
I figured with as many issues as that thing had during production of the shower before TIV 2, that they scraped it or it ended up on a back lot at discovery never to be found again
Y este es el primer vehiculo construido para interceptar un tornado ❤ una parte de la historia
Overall 10/10
This thing is in such rough shape
Bring em back!
Dude you need to put this into a tornado once you get it working lol
You still restoring it? Pls post an update.
May I suggest something? Put some airbags on it, similar to DOM3
Idea: replace the race car Chairs with gaming chairs
Any updates on this baby?
4:36 It’s an F-Super Duty which is an F-450
How in the blue hell did you even get this?
Tiv had better days.
How’s the tiv 1?
2:25 you can see a little mouse run
Wow...
2:26 Ratatouille
How did you get the og tiv
Sean Casey executed a nation wide scavenger hunt for it, we traced out its location and found it 1st.
Robert Clayton wow man I was wondering where that thing went
Please make more videos
@@R.Clayton Does Sean want it back?
@@duglife2230 🤷🏼♀️
Gonna be honest I didn't know what TIV 1s fate was going to be
The only thing I see needed is the inside to be cleaned up
Jeeeeeeeez,why IT is so dusty,i never seen an Tornado intercept vehicle so dirty
This might be annoying but how did they change the head lamps isn’t there like a metal plate behind it sorry for being Annoying just really like this mess of a truck 🫣
2:25 look at the upper right corner
They pretty well demolished the wiring harness lol they're gone now haha
I swore I saw a Rat
You definitely saw a feild mouse haha
the ironry 5:32 copying reed at this moment
dude atleast fix the problems they had way back and maybe make it better?
holy shit this thing is so big, bro like it’s so long (that’s what she said) seriously tho, paint it black and red it would look sick as fuck.
