Dude you didn't lose an engine - you invented a 3000 hp bomb. An expensive bomb but still it's quite the bomb. If all you'd done was achieve 3000 hp I'd probably have never seen this. Thanks for the awesome show!
Lol it's funny how much $ you see wasted and the first thing you end up bitchin about is the last part you install. 25k for the engine and he's bitchin about the last $40 he spent on it. I do the same
@@tiffanyfrank3654I thought that exact same thing but figured the line was played out so didn't say it. But it still made me laugh out loud.😂 Sometimes it do be like that...
@@kylefannin4416 Technically Nitrous is boost due to it being a way of getting more air into the cylinder at once. 1 Molecule of Nitrous Oxide is made up of 2 Nitrogen 1 Oxygen atoms. So technically nitrous is just boost in a bottle.
I get the impression this guy is both bummed out about the engine blowing, but also traumatized by what happened. I'm amazed he and his buddy got out relatively unhurt. I hope he resurrects this beast.
You can tell this dude is a good man, the way he got out of that truck and then immediately turned to go back and get his friend, that hit different. Not gonna lie, you can see how sad he is to see his truck like this.... I have faith he will return it to it’s former glory though, and learn from his mistakes. God speed brother!
How do you actually feel bad for being stupid? Albert Einstein said it best “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.” I could possibly understand feeling bad for someone who blows up their first motor. After that, they’re just a F’ing dumbass!
@n0ckter exactly. Buddy probably has never built a high hp motor let alone turned a wrench. Just out here talking shit and using quotes to make himself sound smart. Anyone who actually PARTICIPATES in motorsports with high hp cars knows engines blow up. You won’t find a SINGLE person who’s never blown a motor when pushing it to it’s very limit. I’d bet money on it.
Gona be so many “shoulda done this shouldn’t have done that” crap... you were chasing the number and threw everything at it. I truly admire someone who pours their heart and soul into doing what they love to do. I know you’ve processed that run thousands of times upstairs and you know what went wrong. Can’t wait to see the rebuild.
Shawn, the last couple of minutes where you are analyzing the event and the future are very heartfelt from you, as I see it. You are a true pioneer and an all around "Goodguy" God bless you! LaserBob
The fact that no one was killed is a miracle. I've never seen an engine detonate with such force in my life. With the exception of a TopFuel. #Grenaded
That isn’t the first diesel I’ve seen grenade like that. The cylinder pressures in these things are ridiculous. At this kind of power level the blocks seem to just split open. There is a video of one going down a drag strip and the head and top part of the block almost went through the hood.
I’ve seen a number of Top Fuel and Funny Car engines detonate myself. A few Funny Cars that I saw detonate on tv, and one that I saw in person, the whole Funny Car body pretty much disintegrated when that happened.
Dude, I don't even know you, but I'm so glad you both got out unscathed with minor injuries. My first thought was he probably just lost both of his lower legs. I'm glad you didn't, and I didn't initially know there was a passenger. Peace to you, brother.
Shawn, I hate that that happened to you & your truck but the most inspiring thing that happened that Day, even though hurt & burned, you immediately ran back into the fire to make sure Cody was out and away from the truck. A true Hero!
@@JohnSmith-lw2bm Yeah I don't get why people skip the safety gear!? You'r sitting on a grenade whitout saftey pin... And when it blow up it's going to bee a fire, not if or maby, it WILL be a fire. and why have a passenger on the dyno?

@@moparproud3978 DHD's truck turned into a flamethrower like a year ago on a dyno. If that wasn't a pause for thought moment about wearing a firesuit for dyno pulls, I don't know what is.
So glad to see you guys made it out safe. Hopefully someday you might be able to get some sponsors to get you guys some fire proof driving suits and helmets wouldn't be a bad idea either. Looking forward to the next build.
More smoke doesn`t mean more power :) it means poor tunning. That is simply unburned fuel coming out, so if it issint burned properly it is excessive the engine simply doesnt use that or use only little bit of power of that excessive fuel. This usually happen when people increase fuel ratio too much in order to get power, and they do that simply because they can`t increase air flow, because usually they don`t have supercharger and turbo in the same setup. Turbo takes out the smoke from the engine, while supercharger increase the airflow inside the chamber. When you have both supercharger and turbo, you can lower the black smokes to nearly 0, because you can calibrate the fuel/air ratio more precisely.
@@S3l3ct1ve true but the only reason people have a lot of black smoke when racing diesels is the insure them that there is plently of fuel. u would rather have black smoke knowing u have plently of fuel vs no black smoke and not knowing if u are lacking sufficient fuel supply to engine
@@ChrisSmith-ig9jq I understand "playing it safe" with the extra fuel to protect the engine, but to the non-enthusiast layman (about 80% of the population, I reckon), it makes the sport and diesel look really bad. Especially when 24 year old jackwagons are doing it on the street.
I started going to tractor pulls in Indiana as a kid probably be 2 or less remember all of it, ended up getting involved in Drag Racing, my uncle has a modified tractor with three blown Chevys completely built by himself for all intensive purposes, I've worked on nitro cars, promods and so on and I read a lot of the comment when it was first posted and everyone is an expert or they think they know people they've never met for example, we have never met but I do have a lot of respect for what you've been doing with this particular truck and the work you've been putting into it. Guys have been doing extreme things with turbos and tractor pulling for decades but just like you said and to expand upon it a little bit, what you are trying to do and what the tractor pulling or rather Truck and Tractor Pulling community are doing aren't necessarily the same, so I know that you'll just keep stop being a game, learning more developing better systems and parts and things like that to accomplish your goals, you've already accomplished more than most people just from working hard and surrounding yourself with good people. There is a lot of ignorance out there but there are also a lot of great people out there as well. I mean in Nitro drag racing you look at what Alan Johnson has done going back to all those horrible crashes from engine explosions including the one that took his brother's life and all the ones with Gary Scelzi - as one example - to engineer and design high performance parts that can handle what you want to do with them and make things better and safer. Not comparing the vehicles, this is a similar sort of thing where you are doing something in a way that a lot of guys are not doing and it won't be smooth sailing all the time when you're trying to innovate and do things like this. Definitely glad you are okay and I would definitely add some titanium shielding :-) anyways, thanks for the great update and look forward to seeing what you guys do next. Stay safe and have a good one! 😊🤘🏻
I remember seeing the video the first time and almost not believing you got out that quick. You learned some real limitations and life experience. People will make there own choices and that is not on you. If anything you showed the brutal reality of pushing the limits. Could kinda see it in the video when you said you didn’t know where to start on the teardown. Set it aside for now. When your ready I’m sure you’ll know where to start and what direction you want to take. Getting it out of the trailer was the first step!
I don’t mean this sarcastically, the fact you made that much boost and it held like it did is insane. Keep growing. Good lesson, glad it’s not my money, but you have a gift man.
That was one of the craziest things I have every seen. Keep up the fight! Keep moving forward till the next one. God is always watching us. Stay strong!
You definitely win the award for most catastrophic drivetrain failure on a dyno. I thought when it coughs white smoke, you don’t keep running it. Hopefully you can salvage the turbos. Please post another video after you get the engine out. I would love to see the frame.
People have been KILLED by prop shafts coming through the floor when bad uni joints break on an old RWD car...this is his warning to stop messing with these things - whether he takes it or not is on him.
I searched for this video of a backstory about the incident after I seen a couple clips of it . I wanted to know more info on the build and what caused the explosion and to hear what the driver had to say of it all. Glad he mad it out ok and lived to tell and recap that crazy day and what happened. I'm sure Tons of hard work and effort made that truck a powerful mf so I know it had to be tough going out in flames like that. Happens to the best of us losing anything materialistic is way better than losing a friend or family me. GOD bless GUYS
For those who haven't studied or aren't versed in thermodynamics and the various properties of flammable liquids. Atomized Diesel has a significantly higher BTU than gasoline, and much higher than alcohol. 1 second of epidermal exposure with diesel would be the same as 2.5-3 seconds exposure with gasoline (93 octane). Nitrous Fires would just be insanely hot and pretty much game over with any epidermal contact for any period of time really. Like an Oxy/Acet cutting torch. I'm glad to see you didn't burn your face and healed up nicely. Rinse wash repeat, time to rebuild and make another attempt brother.
-Detonates engine prolly worth over 100K in parts, time, and knowledge -Somehow escapes pretty much unscathed despite being 2 feet away -Blessed no one was hurt by shrapnel "Damnit, that was a brand new belt" It's good to be able to make jokes about something this insane since no one was hurt. Can't wait to see where she goes from here!
@@mytmousemalibu "pretty much" just about covers some minor burns and missing hair when you think he escaped both an inferno, the trans tunnel exploding, and the decapitated engine possibly landing on him. I'd gladly take some skin flaking all things considered. 👍
@@MxASage3030 He definitely has someone looking out for him to only get burned in that deal but if you've ever experienced burns like that, I'd rather take some shrapnel than a bad burn. I've personally taken some second degree and a few small 3rd degree burns and its horrible. My dad got burned an arm bad enough his skin was burned off and epidermis dripping on the floor. That is some of the worst pain a person can be in.
Wow, that was a hard video to watch. I’ve never seen this guys truck before or any of his videos for that matter but understand the emotion to what happened. To some these works of art are materialistic... but to others they are life long dreams. Life long dreams put together with trials, tribulations, milestones, long nights, blood, sweat, and lots of overtime hrs. Lol I have faith he will overcome this hurdle and make his mark. Stay strong my brother!
Damm, man, that puts a whole new meaning to....."My motor blew up", hang in there fella, start at the beginning & hard work, perseverance & you will get there.
I’m sure you know what your doing, I’m in the steam business and we know what we’re doing too, but safety has to be #1 man. Fireproof suits and helmet when your testing an engine with so much power on a dyno, especially a diesel with that crazy compression. Shielding the passenger compartment or the engine compartment with Kevlar blankets could be a life saver too, not the whole engine needs to blow, a lot of parts that could fly off will take you out as well. You got lucky, but that luck won’t last forever….
Is this the new meaning of they have more $$ than brains. Top fuel dragster have safety margins in place for things just like this . Where drivers and spectators won't get hurt .. lucky their wasn't any 1 seriously hurt I could see a lawsuit comming
Do we know what let go first and what caused it? Like the motor mounts snapped off and the engine rolled, broke away from the trans and took flight? Glad the man upstairs was watching over you, super lucky for no one to have been seriously injured even spectators.
@@industrialinjection My guess is the block split at the crank, looking forward to seeing what you find, but glad you are alright. was such a nasty explosion :(
@@87fcuktards I suspect the same. Block split, explains trans damage which explains t-case. But not seeing the thing in person and the parts, hard to say
Shitty way to learn on how to make this better and safer but glad you and Kody are still alive and wasn’t more seriously injured. Trucks can be replaced but you can’t.
Just catching up on this event over a year later, so glad nobody was hurt or worse, what a spectacular mess, not seen many to compare to this. Cheers to All, stay smart, stay safe, be kind to one another :) Edit~ Would it be safe to assume the frame is somewhat compromised now?
After working on trucks for 30 years I would so love to be involved in a build like this one . Thank you for your video and just know I hate y'all had to experience a catastrophic engine explosion. 😵🤕🤑
I definately feel for ya. Everytime you saw the truck, you would feel so lost, like there was something missing. How far have you got with the new rebuild, I would love to see it or at least the progression ?
My only point to preach to anyone doing this stuff or anything like this, is take your safety gear seriously. Wear a firesuit, and all the other associated gear. This is proof positive that should be taken seriously even on a dyno. If you can apply ballistic gear around high energy parts, probably a good idea too. Its a hard pill to swallow putting big bucks into stuff that doesn't make more power or make you faster but your safety is worth it!
Too much nitrous, did you calculate the amount you where spraying? Would be interesting to know. Thanks for sharing the aftermath, would like to see what gave in the first place. Was it the trans and then the engine or first the engine? You blow the trans and unload the engine and you get similar end result as the rpm peaks from the inertia and load from the transmission. At least one big death you suffer in search for glory and power. Rebuild and race again, strap it and pad with kevlar, it absorbs the shrapnel.
So glad your okay man, i really hope you rebuild her even better, id love to see you throw a bigger engine and some of those pulling turbos and kit in there, and if anyone can do it its definitely you man.
Man metal and rubber can be repaired, happy you walked away relatively unhurt. Itll rise again feom the ashes 👍 good luck n safe travels in your future. Colin
GD its amazing the two of you inside the truck were not injured from flying parts. I'm not sure sfi anything could hold up to that carnage. At least from now on at least where a fire suit and helmet. 💪 Master shredder will see more action in the future im sure.
While not nearly to this scale, I lost a truck that I loved. (An 04 ram hemi that I had dumped everything into. And at the time it was killer on the track and the 60ft was insane) And I see the same emotion here that I felt. Mine was totaled at a stoplight but it still hurt the same. I feel your pain and hope to see you come back with a 4000hp rig.
I'm not into big trucks but mad respect to him for the work and the balls to go for such a high goal. Breaking stuff is psrt of racing and I bet it will come back even better. I know the pain of having to go through a burned out hull of a rig.
Murphy’s Law is no joke! the trucks name is fitting after seeing the aftermath... glad to see you walked away to get back after it! And your right God is good and was watching over you!
Now i really get why Louis from fuel tech has full suit and Helmet on in their dyno vids. Baca and Shredder are a staple in big hp diesel truck world so glad they made it thru that because it scared the shit out of me thru my tablet screen. Ive been skin graffed on my arms and stomach and burns are the worst pain ive ever felt. I ran just like he did not even thinking of where i was running too.
Probably the biggest dyno disasters to ever happen and nobody was severely injured. God was definitely with him that day! I’m sure this truck will be back better than ever.
Just seen the video on a Facebook short instantly looked it up and seen another video where it showed multiple angles. It shows him hopping out running off for a split second and once he realizes it he sprints back over to see if he can help his buddy all within about a second or 2. I couldn't imagine what I would do after I was involved in something like this but his first reaction was to save his buddy, just thought that showed a lot about his character!
He'll get it right next time. I think some interior reinforcements are due to keep shrapnel from hitting them and folks don't need to stand right next to the dyno.
The monster shredder lived up to its name, it was a monster explosion, and it was shredded.... thank God yall made it out with your lives... do a teardown of the engine lets see the internals
Glad it wasn't your time. Thanks for the work you did on my truck. Keep pushing it. I have a feeling you had a list of things you wanted to "adjust" anyway.
1st Glad to see he/You are still alive. Have to admit i did laugh quite a bit, and had to play it back at least 25x. still can;t believe it. I believe you should make video;s of the build and then show the MASSIVE EXPLOSION, and then sell the video;s; it definitely is a collectors item!!
Did you manage to recover the diagnostic data from the computers?. Would be cool to watch a somewhat investigation commentry of the dyno run. Glad you got out in reasonably good shape. Next time maybe a blast shield in cab and a big stack of foam mattresses next to the dyno
Dude you didn't lose an engine - you invented a 3000 hp bomb. An expensive bomb but still it's quite the bomb. If all you'd done was achieve 3000 hp I'd probably have never seen this. Thanks for the awesome show!

-Somehow escapes pretty much unscathed despite being 2 feet away
-Blessed no one was hurt by shrapnel
"Damnit, that was a brand new belt"
It's good to be able to make jokes about something this insane since no one was hurt.
Can't wait to see where she goes from here!
Baca got a pretty nasty burn out of it so I wouldn't say uninjured. You can see his skin flaked off in the dyno video.
@@mytmousemalibu "pretty much" just about covers some minor burns and missing hair when you think he escaped both an inferno, the trans tunnel exploding, and the decapitated engine possibly landing on him.
I'd gladly take some skin flaking all things considered. 👍
@@MxASage3030 He definitely has someone looking out for him to only get burned in that deal but if you've ever experienced burns like that, I'd rather take some shrapnel than a bad burn. I've personally taken some second degree and a few small 3rd degree burns and its horrible. My dad got burned an arm bad enough his skin was burned off and epidermis dripping on the floor.
That is some of the worst pain a person can be in.
Much love to you on your continued efforts. So sorry for this horrific setback. Very glad you and your crew are in one piece.
Here at industrial injection we believe in higher power !!! Blessings glad to see you and cody are ok
Wow, that was a hard video to watch. I’ve never seen this guys truck before or any of his videos for that matter but understand the emotion to what happened. To some these works of art are materialistic... but to others they are life long dreams. Life long dreams put together with trials, tribulations, milestones, long nights, blood, sweat, and lots of overtime hrs. Lol
I have faith he will overcome this hurdle and make his mark. Stay strong my brother!
Keep up the awesome work! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next !
I saw the video all over the internet, glad you are ok with just some burns man, dont give up and keep pushing!
Good video man. You’re very lucky to come out of that alive and unhurt. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Onwards, bigger and better 🤘
The truck was literally warning you. Shit can be rebuilt just glad to see you didn't get hurt.
Damm, man, that puts a whole new meaning to....."My motor blew up", hang in there fella, start at the beginning & hard work, perseverance & you will get there.
I’m sure you know what your doing, I’m in the steam business and we know what we’re doing too, but safety has to be #1 man. Fireproof suits and helmet when your testing an engine with so much power on a dyno, especially a diesel with that crazy compression. Shielding the passenger compartment or the engine compartment with Kevlar blankets could be a life saver too, not the whole engine needs to blow, a lot of parts that could fly off will take you out as well. You got lucky, but that luck won’t last forever….
Poor Dudes still got some engine parts from the explosion in hes ears
Glad to see Shawn back at it and getting it built. This is awesome
I'm so happy Shawn is ok and alive ! Nothing but good vibes to you Bro !!
Is this the new meaning of they have more $$ than brains. Top fuel dragster have safety margins in place for things just like this . Where drivers and spectators won't get hurt .. lucky their wasn't any 1 seriously hurt I could see a lawsuit comming
I can't wait to see master shredder make his righteous return. this rig is too cool
Glad you made it out! That explosion was intense!
That's a sweet truck I hope to see it running like a beast again!! Glad nobody got hurt
Do we know what let go first and what caused it? Like the motor mounts snapped off and the engine rolled, broke away from the trans and took flight?
Glad the man upstairs was watching over you, super lucky for no one to have been seriously injured even spectators.
We aren't totally sure yet what the exact cause was.
@@industrialinjection My guess is the block split at the crank, looking forward to seeing what you find, but glad you are alright. was such a nasty explosion :(
@@87fcuktards I suspect the same. Block split, explains trans damage which explains t-case. But not seeing the thing in person and the parts, hard to say
Shitty way to learn on how to make this better and safer but glad you and Kody are still alive and wasn’t more seriously injured. Trucks can be replaced but you can’t.
For sure man
Just catching up on this event over a year later, so glad nobody was hurt or worse, what a spectacular mess, not seen many to compare to this. Cheers to All, stay smart, stay safe, be kind to one another :)
Edit~ Would it be safe to assume the frame is somewhat compromised now?
After working on trucks for 30 years I would so love to be involved in a build like this one .
Thank you for your video and just know I hate y'all had to experience a catastrophic engine explosion. 😵🤕🤑
I definately feel for ya. Everytime you saw the truck, you would feel so lost, like there was something missing. How far have you got with the new rebuild, I would love to see it or at least the progression ?
My only point to preach to anyone doing this stuff or anything like this, is take your safety gear seriously. Wear a firesuit, and all the other associated gear. This is proof positive that should be taken seriously even on a dyno. If you can apply ballistic gear around high energy parts, probably a good idea too. Its a hard pill to swallow putting big bucks into stuff that doesn't make more power or make you faster but your safety is worth it!
Amen brother, im glad you made it safe.
I bet it made an incredible sound in that cab. You are truly blessed my brother
Too much nitrous, did you calculate the amount you where spraying? Would be interesting to know. Thanks for sharing the aftermath, would like to see what gave in the first place. Was it the trans and then the engine or first the engine? You blow the trans and unload the engine and you get similar end result as the rpm peaks from the inertia and load from the transmission. At least one big death you suffer in search for glory and power. Rebuild and race again, strap it and pad with kevlar, it absorbs the shrapnel.
I wonder if the data logger even survived.
So glad your okay man, i really hope you rebuild her even better, id love to see you throw a bigger engine and some of those pulling turbos and kit in there, and if anyone can do it its definitely you man.
Thanks you for making video about it
Man metal and rubber can be repaired, happy you walked away relatively unhurt. Itll rise again feom the ashes 👍 good luck n safe travels in your future.
Colin
GD its amazing the two of you inside the truck were not injured from flying parts. I'm not sure sfi anything could hold up to that carnage. At least from now on at least where a fire suit and helmet. 💪 Master shredder will see more action in the future im sure.
Might want to also consider body level IV body armor.
You definitely earned the title, " Master Shredder. "
On the brightside the truck certainly lived up to its namesake. On a serious note. Live. Learn. Keep moving forward. You'll hit your goal.
Love that you are a Christian Baca! he was watching over you for sure on this one & bigger and better things are coming from this.
sick
While not nearly to this scale, I lost a truck that I loved. (An 04 ram hemi that I had dumped everything into. And at the time it was killer on the track and the 60ft was insane) And I see the same emotion here that I felt. Mine was totaled at a stoplight but it still hurt the same. I feel your pain and hope to see you come back with a 4000hp rig.
I'm not into big trucks but mad respect to him for the work and the balls to go for such a high goal. Breaking stuff is psrt of racing and I bet it will come back even better. I know the pain of having to go through a burned out hull of a rig.
unscathed? looks like a gudgion pin lodged itself in his earlobes
Murphy’s Law is no joke! the trucks name is fitting after seeing the aftermath... glad to see you walked away to get back after it! And your right God is good and was watching over you!
Glad your ok, love your truck can't wait to see it rise from the ashes. It will be one of the greatest builds. Thank god everyone is ok!!
Sick.
Just glad you weren't seriously injured. It sucks but you'll build it better next time. good luck brother.
Feel for you Man, well said about the most important part of motorsport is not harming the supporters/crowd. Onwards and upwards Sir.
Now i really get why Louis from fuel tech has full suit and Helmet on in their dyno vids. Baca and Shredder are a staple in big hp diesel truck world so glad they made it thru that because it scared the shit out of me thru my tablet screen. Ive been skin graffed on my arms and stomach and burns are the worst pain ive ever felt. I ran just like he did not even thinking of where i was running too.
I'm just glad everyone is ok. That was a hell of an explosion. Now more blood, sweat, and tears are required to make it smoke again. Good luck!
My dad had his leg cut on the infamous double flywheel from a Ford one time. You are definitely lucky. Thank God you all are a live.
First thing the program needs fire suits. Then in cab fire suppression.
Glad your safe.
Adam Tabor gloves,balakava fire shoes reenforced floor boards and fire wall. Dude looks like freak show piercings ,tats 👎🏻
There's not too many people on the planet that can get close to 3k horsepower in a diesel. Forget the haters, keep truckin.
Lucky man. I know it was three years back, but I hope you use a fire suit now. It's a no brainer.
Dam man, I'm sorry for your loss. But at least you lived and have a chance to build it better.
Probably the biggest dyno disasters to ever happen and nobody was severely injured. God was definitely with him that day! I’m sure this truck will be back better than ever.
Is it just me or is that guy's hat brim long as hell.
stupid long
You're lucky to be alive dude. That was one wicked explosion
Absolutely insane! Someone was watching over y’all. Stay safe brothers
Just seen the video on a Facebook short instantly looked it up and seen another video where it showed multiple angles. It shows him hopping out running off for a split second and once he realizes it he sprints back over to see if he can help his buddy all within about a second or 2. I couldn't imagine what I would do after I was involved in something like this but his first reaction was to save his buddy, just thought that showed a lot about his character!
My man had the best attitude. I felt for him and wish him the best
A cooler-full of truck salad .. certainly something you don't see every day.
Good luck homie
He'll get it right next time. I think some interior reinforcements are due to keep shrapnel from hitting them and folks don't need to stand right next to the dyno.
The monster shredder lived up to its name, it was a monster explosion, and it was shredded.... thank God yall made it out with your lives... do a teardown of the engine lets see the internals
I bet this video will have builders reinforcing the fire walls with big horse power builds!!
This was the most emotional bro dozer story I think I’ve ever seen lmao
If you're going to fail, do it in style and fail hard! Most entertaining dyno explosion ever!
Glad it wasn't your time. Thanks for the work you did on my truck. Keep pushing it. I have a feeling you had a list of things you wanted to "adjust" anyway.
1st Glad to see he/You are still alive. Have to admit i did laugh quite a bit, and had to play it back at least 25x. still can;t believe it. I believe you should make video;s of the build and then show the MASSIVE EXPLOSION, and then sell the video;s; it definitely is a collectors item!!
Did you manage to recover the diagnostic data from the computers?. Would be cool to watch a somewhat investigation commentry of the dyno run. Glad you got out in reasonably good shape. Next time maybe a blast shield in cab and a big stack of foam mattresses next to the dyno
Glad you made it out!
