Its funny to see Derek actually passing other cars on the highway for a change! 😂
😂.Today you Win the internet. 👍
Like for cereal it's always the other way around🤣🤣
Came here to say exactly that.
I said the same thing 😂
He was just showing off for Jessica lol
I love that you give out Hot wheels to the kids...brought tears to my eyes because my late husband collected Hot wheels and he'd walk around our neighborhood giving the children, boys and girls, the toys. He tried to include a Treasure Hunt in each batch of 5 or 6 cars. He'd say, I don't know if the kids got anything for Christmas. He was such a good man. I miss him so much. Keep that tradition of giving the Hot wheels to the kids. Derek you're a kind hearted soul, too.
I always enjoy your replies and treasure hunts
Deadwood, that's out here in my neighborhood, well not too far away - go there quite often from just a bit over here in Wyoming when I need to find my Aces and eights at the No. 10 Saloon. Even been there a few times when it was hot rods on Main and when it was full of motor bikes, it's only 11 more miles to Sturgis from Deadwood.
That's touching❤
Any day with a vgg video is a good day, hope power tour treats you and your family well!
One day...
You're the best car guy on RUclips dude. That old feller yelling "I'll be dipped!" says it all.
Thank you!
Content you have put out like this has inspired me to recently fly from Orlando FL to St. George Utah and drive a 95' Dodge 3500 Motorhome I purchased sight unseen 2200 miles back home to Jacksonville. Myself and a friend was able to do it without any serious problems aside from a fuel prices!
Sounds like a great time ! I'm in England but I woukd absoloutly love to just road trip across the States through all the small towns.
Hello to a fellow Jacksonville resident and VGG fan
Every VGG video = awesome 😎
Should’ve recorded it
I’m thinking the fuel cost was more than the price of the motor home
Wow Derek, that truck sounds absolutely beautiful with the cam that's in it. You definitely put the perfect exhaust on it. I loves it!
Hope you and your family enjoys your well earned vacation, thank you for taking us along! The truck turned out awesome.
With gas at $5.00 a gallon, I was just thinking "This trip wasn't cheap" and I was also thankful for my 1987 Honda Helix and its awesome gas mileage.
You are by far one of the most entertaining personalities on RUclips and it's obviously not an act. I can tell by the reactions of your wife and sons when you rattle off one your "Derek-isims" and they don't bat an eye or crack a smile because it's just you being you. Beyond having a great attitude and great sense of humor, you are a wealth of automotive knowledge. I get entertainment and usually learn a new trick when it comes to turning a wrench. Keep up the good work!
Scott not to mention Derek shreds a guitar!
@@donaldfrazier5244 see I wondered about that. Thought maybe that’s why they relocated.
@@donaldfrazier5244 where can we see that side of him
@@donaldfrazier5244 I'll be dipped, he can shred a gitter??!
@@winguard96 I believe it was around Christmas last year he showed his stuff on the guitar
$1.96 for gas?!? Recorded when President Trump was in office obviously.
That wasn't $1.96...! It was 1.96 gallons for $10.00...!!!!! This was in 2022... There were one thousand, four hundred seventy three hints in the video...! Open your eyes and comprehend what you're seeing/ saying...!
Wow you were going past that person that yelled out “I’ll be dipped“ it occurred to me that with your millions and millions of followers, you have to be recognized at virtually every moment of any tour you’re at.
thank you for all you’ve done you and your family, Derek it’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. Enjoy the rest of the week and the power tour ✌️
I went to a car show a couple years back and the amount of VGG attire I saw made me realize this as well. Saw at least 15-20 random people wearing VGG shirts and hats.
That and it’s written on the tailgate…. Probably recognized a feller though… You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a VGG fan…. He’s getting to be a household name… good for him..
When he drove an opposite way a bit earlier, people called him by name. Derek's famous!
@@tbirds5313 Went to a Shelby Cobra meetup in Ohio, three of us random strangers noticed our vgg hats randomly during the week, was pretty cool seeing others out in the wild
You guys are awesome people. I’m happy just watching and owning a shirt has helped your family succeed further. Keep it up… you’re a true American 🇺🇸 🦅
“It’s got a four speed so It doesn’t go, ya know ‘fast’ down the highway but she’ll pull a house off the foundation”
Beautiful. What else could a guy ask for.
I’ve never seen a suburban with a 4 speed before! Cool!
Should have put a 5-speed in it. NV3500 if it's not going to haul, NV4500 if it is
It's a factory 4 speed. I'd never change it.
Also known as, "It would pull the world off of its butt if you had a big enough chain."
@@ViceGripGarage Well, it's your wallet.
I had a couple of those late Suburbans, both 350/700R4 and 13-ish was about what they got. I put a flat bug deflector on one and all it did was cost me about 1 MPG. So I took it back off.
Not too often on your road rides that we get to see a fellow actually passing vehicles vs getting passed! Happy for you and your family!
Passing feels and is way safer than getting blown off the road by semi trucks with full trailers i tell you what
Thank you Jessica for all the work editing this for us. Great job
Thanks for sharing. Super channel fantastic collection of beautiful hot rods. It brings me back to the days when hot rods were common place. Absolutely love it stay safe everyone Artie 🇺🇸👍
Favorite part of this video was seeing cases of hot wheels for the kids along the trip. Such a small thing but to think if the smiles on those kids faces catching a hot wheel while watching everything roll by brings a smile to a guys normally grumpy face. You guys are the best!
hey Derek slim chance u see this but my grandmother passed away at 4:27 am this morning and I've been trying to put a smile on my face all day and just couldn't then a fella uploaded a video and that smile as u would put came right back around thank you Derek appreciate all the hard work and proud of how much your channel has grown ! bless you and your family and always BRING THE THUNDER !
You know you've made it when you can pull into a parking lot and some random guy says "I'll be dipped"!! 😁👍
Like "Hell ya brother" but a different channel.
Really like when Flying Sparks Garage, joins you videos.
Thanks for bringing us all along for the ride Derek and Jess! It's great to see Chad's rig again. She is the real deal going to town rig and I ain't lying. Safe travels for you and your family and GOD SPEED!
This has been an awesome build. The rig sounds amazing. Enjoy the ride,,,I know I'll enjoy watching your videos of it
Hey I just wanted everyone here to know, I got a notification from someone pretending to be Derek today. They said I won a prize and I needed to pay for shipping. Just thought I should let everyone know about this so they can be aware
Undoubtedly your best work yet Derek. This rig screams VGG in a way even Independence can’t because your whole family gets to come along for the ride. It’s also obvious how much you love the thing. Great work man, keep doing what you do 👍
It’s to late this event but maybe we could get Little Vice Grip Garage to do a video of a day in the life of Bentley at an event.
You know it's going to be a good day when you see an upload by old mate Derek.
Derek and Jessica...everything in this video was...COOL! You are rockin' it, keepin' it real and you're staying the same as people with your now huge RUclips channel. You guys are awesome, thanks for the great videos.
Even knowing the success you've had so far on this trip, I'm still excited to watch this. Enjoying this entire build.
Heh, Derek runs into a random car party and they start imitating him perfectly lol
I knew power tour was this week, but have no clue how his trip has gone. Can't wait to see this!!
If you're not following on IG and FB, it's not my fault if this is a spoiler comment. 🙂
@@coachmattc a guy doesn't have those and doesn't want them. The wife does and subscribes or whatever but will just randomly show me stuff he posts.
Also, I didn't take your comment as a spoiler. Just saying I can't wait to see it and I don't know one way or the other.
@@natevanlandingham1945 Yeah, was just replying to @uralmash07 . But hadn't figured out the reply process on here. :)
"Longer than a night in Jail".....🤣🤣🤣 Awesome rig!
I was honored to meet you yesterday at the stop in Hoover, Alabama! Thanks for taking a minute from talking to Dan from DD Speed Shop to say hello to me!
Nice to meet you
For a second there at 11:30 I thought that was a Jack Daniel's bottle.
I hope one I'll be able to join you'all on a power tour with my own rig. Great videos, this is the only channel with 1+ hour long videos worth watching.
Hey, Betty White ain't got no AC, it has FC: Foot Conditioner.
Two videos within a couple days!! Makes a guy real happy
Another Fun Adventure ! A few years back my brother and I went to MKE, WI for the Hot Rod Power event at State fair park, great day !
Cars & Food etc. Stuff ! Looking for your 2024 Power Tour Video & See You at Iola, WI 2024

When GM came out with the 5.3, It's like a 325, and I said they should have made it a 327 and put 327 badges on certain vehicles it came in. I think it would have been good for sales. When I was a kid I remember my uncle having and loving some original 327s, and he said that he thinks GM did away with them because they were too good of an engine. lol.
Hes right. They cant sell you cars if the ones they do keep running. That's why EVERYTHING is junk today. Every year they need to make more money then the year before. I personally wouldnt bother buying a new vehicle.
I never seen a 327 c.i.
When I was a kid, we had a '75 3/4 ton camper special. 454 and a Turbo 400, AC and dual saddle tanks. Empty, she got 8mpg. With a 8 ft camper, horse trailer and 2 horses, she got... 8 mpg.
The cold start sound is approved, great rig.
well all be dipped... I think it's Derek the multi-digigical musical instrument-tical orcistrate-erelle that composing the background music... am I a musician also?!
well, heck yah! 😆👍
Thank you Derek and Jessica! I feel like I'm getting a personal tour of the Power Tour! Have fun and stay safe, cant wait for tomorrow's episode.
I live in Memphis TN Midtown and can walk to the Liberty Bowl Stadium from were I live but hadn't a clue why all those vehicles were their in the parking lot as I drove down East Parkway heading to work on Tuesday. I'm a huge fan of the VGG RUclips channel and was going to stop by Wednesday to get an autograph buy merchandise etc. but the caravan already had left when I drove by Wednesday on the way to work because the Liberty Bowl parking lot was empty.
I am so excited for this series. The HRPT with Betty White was so wonderful to watch. It gave me summer vacation vibes just watching it.
I hope that you get to enjoy it in between all the filming and editing etc.
Cheers from germany.
I drive a 1994 Silverado 5.7 V8 2wd ext cab swb with a 30 gallon fuel tank lol I love the old trucks I live about 50 miles south of Nashville in bradyville Tennessee love the videos
I love it when it's a long haul trip video. Love the adventure and holding my breath to see if you make it. Can't wait till tomorrow!!🇺🇸❤️
perfect amount of cuts and editting. great work guys! excited for day 2!
Loved watching this rig come together VGG fam
People rip on Harbor Freight but those tools have gotten 99% of us through what we need/needed. Most of mine are still HF and I'll stack them up to Snap On any day.
That young man that goes along just because….is soaking in every word..every move…and every thing his folks are involved in and doesn’t want to miss a thing that life throws his way
You two are doing great things with those boys
Should make a black t-shirt with your \VGG on the chest and the back should say Might as well. 😏 but not spelled like that. A guy would definitely buy that shirt
I freaking love this guy and his family! Keep it coming Derek. What a great job and if I was in your garage at the right time, I would’ve bought a wobble-pop or 6 from the kids concession stand!!!!!!!
23:46 reminds me of the time my dad took his 3+3 into a parking garage in Minneapolis. He had a set of straw walkers in the bed to boot. It was one of those parking garage with the spiral drive exits. Yeah he couldnt quite make the turn and had to do about 300 backwards and forwards down the spiral cussing the whole way with a LINE of cars behind him......good times.
Wow - that truck sounds so unbelieveably good! What a mighty, mighty rumble! Fantastic!
Saw you in Pensacola today. It’s a small thing, but I love the drink holders in the front seat of your rig. Awesome!
I really enjoyed the drive and ride Derek- thanks for taking us along as usual!! love small town America!
I knew you where in the Nashville area but Columbia Harbor Freight? That's 3 milers down the road from me.
Absolutely love the rig plenty of room looks awesome and it does better on gas than what I figured. Much love and respect. Have a blessed trip and y'all enjoy yourself ✌✌🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸
13mpg not bad for that big old Suburban nice lookin rig love the VGG Sticker on front Window @Vice Grip Garage
I’m a Ford guy. But I dig this truck and glad to see her up and running instead of just sitting in the background of other projects and doubling as a table/catch all/parts storage.
that truck looks like the one mad dog drove in the cannonball run, (burt reynolds 1981).
That exhaust sounds amazing, would love to see the work underneath after power tour. Big shout out to your exhaust guy!
Totally agree! He/they did a fantastic job. I like how aggressive it sounds and the way it turns down in the rear corners.
Thanks! I did the exhaust. The mufflers were designed by Derek built by spintech. The whole setup is cool and the cutouts are the fastest I’ve ever seen.
So glad you take us with you on family things .love to be alone for the ride brother. But I need snacks and a wobble pop. Plz put the cooler in the back .lol yeeyee
Thanks for all of the hard work editing these clips and putting out videos, no matter what it takes.
did you know mattel or will duplicate your truck into a hot wheels car.
great idea for a hand out . so will match box toys .
the company i retired from did it with a great response from people .
all the best guys . 🤠
Imma just say it sounds soo freaking good on a cold start 💪 fingers crossed it all goes smoothly for a guy and his loved ones
She fires right up no issues at all right now on cold starts Perfect Derek @Vice Grip Garage
It’s always an absolute fabulous day when you post man you’re my favorite!!!
Great way to wake up
I'd love to attend one of these one day. I had no idea they existed until I started watching your channel a few years ago. Time sure has flown fella. Seemed like only a month or so ago, you had not so many subs and/or fans. Can't wait for you to break the 2 million milestone.
This is on par with the Catalina Wine Mixer!!! Bam!!!! 💥
congrats on the stretch square body! looks excellent and that exhaust system sounds sinister be safe i’ll keep a cold snack in hand for the next vid
Them exhaust cut outs sound so Good Derek Perfect @Vice Grip Garage
I love the crew cab but I gotta say that you’re buddies suburban with those beautiful turbine wheels is making a guy real jealous. That’s such a nice truck
I'm so happy to see the culmination of your years of work, hoarding parts, and patience, finally pay off! it's kind of heartwarming to see this 'ol square body finally on the road. I hope that it bring many years of enjoyment to you and your family.
Awesome day one content...looking forward to seeing the rest of the journey..stay safe and keep that A/C cranking😆👍🇺🇸
When you fired it up for the cold start, I was not expecting that kind of sound. Oh man!!
Watching these time lapse videos really makes me miss the open road, I was on a trip driving all the way from Phoenix, AZ up to Everett, WA with my kids, and my dog, such a wonderful trip it was... Love your content and channel Derek and family
I'm surprised so many people participating considering the price of gas. Sad to see prices so high.
Hey Derek I remember watching this truck when you got it.
I'm so glad to see it improve how it did.
That exhaust sounds insane! I love the sound with or without the cutouts. Money well spent.
This is my favorite project so far. Such a cool build. Glad to see it cruising around!
That burb with turbine wheels? I need that in my life. Throwing out matchbox cars to the kids is awesome. Just another reason you and the fam rock!
its a dream of mine to take my 1 year old son and 3 year old daughter on power tour in my 2006 boosted crew cab silverado! You are an inspiration to Dads everywhere! Keep up the grear work Derek!!
Just get out there & do it mate, love a good road trip, Rj in Oz
@@rjnation5042 we just lost their mother about 2 months ago so im gonna try and make as many memories as possible with my babies!
I appreciate your hard work mr. Derek with all the videoing and editing and doing the show its really appreciated and enjoy every moment of it, cant wait for the rest, thank you sir to you and your family.
Appreciate it Derek! Always enjoy seeing your projects.
That 3/4 ton burb is awesome and a factree 4 speed ...thats awesome
Yes! It’s going to be a great morning! Thanks for the great content Derek!
Morning!
Thanks for the ride along felt like i was in the back seat Looks like a blast. great bunch of folks you traveling with have subscribed new friends. Thanks for sharing :-)
How cool, keep the videos coming, love it, 👍❤️
Lovin' that rumble sounds sweet! Nice truck Derek! Are you filling up both fuel tanks?
The first episode I watched of you was when you painted your brothers truck with that $99 white paint job. Been hooked ever since. Just wanted to say thank you for all you have done. Us veterans take our hats off to you just because it's nice to see a real American with real values.
Was that the episode using a one grit sand block?
@@kerrylewis2581 K10 that he said his brother would run though a dich or something lol not sure. eBay special fleet white
Holy Moses! That startup sounded awesome.
So happy to see that truck getting used how you wanted. And I LOVE the hyperlaps hiway shots.
nothing like showing the same footage over again to make it look longer? WTF?
A guy finds these family adventures really exciting! Hope you guys have a fun, safe and memorable trip. Bless you Derek and your family! ♥️🚗
I watch five car enthusiast channels and by far you have the best most entertaining and educational presentation ever best to you and your family Derek,be safe and I’m looking forward to the next peek into your awesome life!
You’re a special human Derek lol. Doing it for the rest of us that don’t.
We see the nature of USA too > one of your biggest fan from Middle East / Oman
Usually a guy can look at his fuel receipt to see what village he's in
Love the small town "backroads" as well! always do the avoid hiways option when I can, you miss so much on the free way and your not really getting the feel of the region,lived in Northern Kentucky for a while the heat and humidity are intense in that part of the country love all your content and looking forward to more
I love watching these videos! It's so interesting and I learn alot. Not to mention Derek's " gift to gab" "This truck is longer than a night in jail". LOL! I awlays look forward to these. Loved Memphis shots.
Awesome video you guys, i’ll sure stay tuned, Derek that cam in that engine sounds so sweet,👍 The interior looks fabulous!! Blowing cold air you can’t beat that in an old square body!!👍👍
I've had that 301 piece set as my main set of tools for almost 15 years and used for home and some professional use. Anytime someone is getting into working on cars that's what I recommend they start with. Has almost everything you need and only a few "throwaways"
This is up there with Independence being my favourite in the VGG fleet, thank you for sharing this with us all! I will come over from the UK and visit one of these power tours and hire a V8… 🚗 🇺🇸
You’re the hardest working RUclipsr, brother! Keep it going. Blessings to you and your awesome family, especially those kiddos! Have fun 🇺🇸🇺🇸.
10:42 ☺that is awesome and shows good character.
