Society: don’t get in cars with strangers
Cletus: never said anything about planes
His insurance people this morning was like garret flew in what?
LOL wonder if he had the guys sign a waver?
Spicy Spence probably is his life insurance guy, he probably raises the rates lol
I even let him fly it some 😱 🤪 😂
@@trencher325 Lmao, that is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Planes have a proven safety record that is far better than driving on a public roadway. You are more likely to die just driving from home to the nearest gas station than flying. And, insurance companies know it.
That Go Pro angle on the trailer is just perfect for the road trip sections
its like a little low to start but once he gets up to speed it slowlyy rises its great
Ja man
I thought it was only me I felt like I've been somewhere 2day
Can't agree more
Then with that classic road trip music it goes together so nice.
Kidnap cleet 101: park a plane in a field on the side of Rocky Mountain race week route😂 the rest is history
Cleetus needs a clown down the drain meme, Psst, I got airplanes!
The pilot he flew with is GravityKnightFlying here on youtube, has some pretty cool plane modding and flying content.
I feel like Uncle Chet is like someone you meet in GTA. Rich ass dude just got a pimped out ACR Viper just chillin behind a random building he lets you take lol
I think the low fuel light came on so he parked it and just bought another car
Who is this Chet guy anyway? He seems like an awesome dude.
@@ryanlamfers8692 they call him uncle chet he has been in several vids
If you don't know who uncle Chet is, go find him. He has some pretty cool videos
@@ryanlamfers8692 A rich ass fan that is now in the crew. Hell I think he even bought a house right down the street from James new place. I think he got rich by starting an air ambulance or flying medical supplies. Something like that
Kevin doesn't look so silly now for all those sensors.
Nahh didn't look silly to people who care about data!
No one thought he did
Only person looking silly now is that moron from fasterproms
@@user-tf5kr4qp2i damn bro chill
@@user-tf5kr4qp2i why though lol what happened
Imagine some dudes just standing on the side of the road with their airplanes waving you down..That screams freedom!
@@Lofi.z34always gotta make it political 🤦♂️
@@Lofi.z34 Except, that wasn't Florida...
I do hope that the Blazer does end up becoming a permanent part of the fleet, there’s so much potential in it being a legitimate build
Imagine it with Rubys current engine and then Ruby gets Leroys old engine and Leroy gets an upgrade. Each car would get a big upgrade and be way faster. Imaging a 1200whp small tire straight axle blazer that would be rowdy. MEGA wheelie potential
@@tstuff1213 I wouldn’t want it to do wheelies, four link for me
@@toxicmasculinity7870 I mean wheelies are fun but can break alot lol. So I see what your saying a 4 link would definitely be the best option if they put a proper straight axle in it. But even then IDK why but every time I see a fast blazer they wheelie lol it just seems to be apart of it.
Ignore the aerodynamics....but a 7 second blazer could be fun....break out the nos and a couple turbos.
sharkbytecomputer 💁🏻♂️They Always Ignore Aerodynamics Though..😆
George sounded like he was thoroughly enjoying every second of raceweek to the fullest!!! I love how happy you guys are during these videos
He’s stoned
@@knownstranger6186 well I am typing this so I feel his pain
@@knownstranger6186 I cane here to say just this. Cause it takes one to know one. Ya know... lol. |-)

@@James01520 cleetus
Return a Viper on full? That’s literally impossible unless there is a fuel station at his shop. Even across the street and it would be down a 1/4 tank
lol
Don't know about a viper but had a 500ci caddy w a 850cfm and yeah about a gallon per key turn.
Brent needed this week, now more than ever. Super awesome to see him smile and for him to keep being his happy-go-lucky self, even through the hardship. I love race week.
What happened with him?
@@blahblah8037 the bastards at EPA slapped Brent with a $20K BULLSHIT FINE for following their rules to a T. yet they do nothing to novartis/ciba-geigey that polluted the water table everywhere they went.
Don't go overboard with the Blazer. Texas Speed LSA and locker. And have Maddie drive it and Amber as co pilot on the next Raceweek. Something in the 10-11 second range to start with.
Brilliant idea
Love this idea!
Excellent idea
Oh yeah sorry to James I know he mentioned her name just cant remember
@@chrislongbeard Amber is her name I think
Uncle Chet has got to be the coolest dude out there. "Need a car for a day on race week? Come on down to Uncle Chets exotic rentals." Freaking legend.
I didn't even realize that Uncle Chet has his own channel now, and it's friggin awesome...
Who is uncle chet and how the hell does he have all those super cars??
It’s nice to see Brent so happy after last week.
He is the big kid we all are.
I saw something about the Epa is going to fine him along with several other companies for modifying cars?
Not modifying, just selling ECUs.
The man is half a continent away and the car didn't make a single pass, and still we see the genius of Kevin.
The fleet has boats, cars, hovercraft; seem like Cleeter's next move would be to add a plane and get his pilots license.
I bet he could build a small airstrip in the back of the freedom factory :0.
Think he got a helicopter already
I think you're right ,he has a chopper...
Holy shit dude you predicted the future
You all predicted this.
License ☑
Airport at the factory ☑
😂
I hope y’all build that blazer. That’d be a sick sleeper
am i the only one who is fucking STOKED for this blazer build?????!!!! god i hope they make more content with it even after this week!!!!
They need to do their version Of a GMC Typhoon, supercharge it!!!
The Blazer will be junked by end of trip!
My dad has one he will supercharge his 🦅🦅🦅
Motion has a yellow xtreme one on their channel
I’ve got an ‘01 S-10 Crew Cab I’d love to LS swap.
Freedom factory needs the largest possible American flag that money can buy
How about a flag the size of the track so they can cover it when they aren't using it🤣
@@djstatyk1540 Flag touching ground = no go. Either flying high in the sky or folded properly and stored.
You guys suck at ideas. Paint the whole burnout pad as a US flag.
@@dylanfox9858 How about giant flags to cover the crowd, so the people can watch race stuff in the shade. Aluminum stands covered with giant American flags for shade would be epic.
@@MiGujack3 How about paint the whole burnout pad with a pair of bewbs that are body painted with the American Flag.
John Force burned his hand on one of Mullet's turbskies then went on to WIN at New England dragway, yesterday.
Hell yeah. I was there 👍
George continuing to check himself for random crumbs after getting called out is pure comedy gold! Haha! I feel you man, I’d be doing the same thing
These vlogs and stuff just let us live the lives we wish we had money or time to do. Not that I COULDN'T do it, we enjoy life it's just like we're there with them.
@@HankeyMountainGarage as my old lady would say it's nice to dream hahahah
@@THatChevyguy91 This is the dream. Reality, for me, is a 67 Chevelle SS that's been down all summer because it needs new lifters and I've been too lazy to mess with it. BBC problems.
@@boomerisadog3899 right on I am playing with a 68 327 going in a 90s k2500 big power of the 192 hp 350 tbi it came with
@@THatChevyguy91 I've got a bone stock 94 Sierra Z71. I'd love to put something with a little more power in it but that things been so reliable for 140k it's got on it that I hate to mess with it. Those mid 90' GM's are some of my favorite trucks. I backed into a car and it bent the bumper into the bedside on my 2013 Sierra. If I'd been in the 94 it probably wouldn't have done anything lol.
Dipping your toes in the s10 world. That's a pretty clean blazer. Put a nitrous kit on it and weld that 7.5 and let her eat.
Actually they all blazers come with 8.5 diffs just this one came with a Peg-leg 😑
Plus it’s a Xtreme version
@@mrhookups I have the 02 xtreme, was stoked to see him grab it, such a fun little suv
Overnite a Nos kit u mean James doesn’t have one in his overnight luggage! Wow shocked!
All bottle no throttle
Or a selection on the inside pocket of his trench coat 🤣
Ruby was probably pre-setup, besides the part of usually not needing it....didn't expect to need the spare kit.
james was so sad over ruby he was huffing the rest of the nitrous and ran out while crying still
Probably a whole nitrous kit in a trash can at an airport somewhere because they wouldn't let him board with it.
Ruby was like if Leroy aint coming, then i aint coming. can't break up the rivalry between the 2 i guess
@@JohnZ0805 i was gunna say the same the BFFs at least... Ruby loyal to Leroy. she not happy bout the el co fucking up the relationship.
That’s cool jackstand got himself a man van cleetus is the best friend ever what a heart man good dude
I can’t wait for the ls swapped blazer to be the twin turbo ls swapped blazer
50% chance it happens before the end of race week
@Faux Que kind of a Typhoon tribute?
I really hope this thing gets fully built
The number plate in it is incredible
I really hope this thing gets a full build sometimes soon that would be sooooo sick
Love the “Cleeter’s Cruisin Down the Open Road Song”.
But nothing makes it even better than when he flicks a booger out the window half way there, and it’s stuck to the GoPro lens the whole rest of the way.
Ya boy cleeter IS the spirit of race week. The experience is what race week is about just as much as the racing.
Seeing the bush plane makes me even more convinced about Cleetus needing to visit or get a visit from Mike Patey
I can't wait to see Scrappy in action. Mike is such a good guy.
Back to work. :)
Too bad it wasn't a GMC Jimmy instead of a Chevy Blazer for full Jackstand Jimmy action.
Not that hard to change it
Easy enough to swap out the nose 😉
That’s nothing some badges and a front end can’t change!
Always loved that body shape. Pile of crap vehicle but looked awesome.
Typhoon would have been cool but I think there's a contract in there somewhere about having a LS
I’m hoping the blazer becomes a build and gets a Texas speed motor with a fat turbski 👀
Yessss yeesssss yessss
I wonder what the blazer world record is 👀
you werent to far off
Garrett needs to follow MIKE PATEY... he Builds insane custom Bush planes on nitrous... can make anything out of carbon and Billet!
Yeah Mike is incredible!
Just came from Mike's fuel door video! Scrappy is going to be next level!
Edit: name.
Yeah those aircraft are bonkers! Can't they take off (if facing into the wind) in 5 or 10 feet???
Need a Cleeter and Patey collaboration
@@realMaverickBuckley yeah check out STOL racing!
In Texas having A/C is almost more important that tha actual engine running
My trucks a/c went out when i was a poor college student. It was either a book for one of my advanced courses or fix the a/c. By the time the semester was over I was well known in the library for printing out pictures of the book lmao.
Random roadside guy with a homebuilt bushplane. Yeah that sounds like a great idea. Ever hear of John Denver or Roy Haliday?
lol
i was thinking Buddy Holly
@@jolo7965 if I remember correctly it was pain killers in his system and they claimed that it was a normal everyday dose to deal with shoulder pain. Doesn't matter since that guy could'a been a meth head for all they knew. Brand new shiny plane makes me more nervous than a slightly worn in one!
Ehh, bush planes usually come as a kit, put together by whoever purchased it. Statistically speaking, flying a "home made" bush plane, is probably safer than the cars they're driving in these videos.
But definitely safer than driving a manufactured vehicle.
I knew it was a blazer. And of course with an LS. I know mullet is the most dedicated drag car right now but this could end up being a little unit to rival fasterproms FrankS10.
I bet James was having a blast with that ACR whether he will admit it or not lol
I wonder his top speed
My boy James needs a couple of months to build up ruby. Poor guy only get a week at time 😂
Cleet , you really just need to leave a crown Vic in every state for these types of situations
Even Hawaii?
@@realityhitsmehardbro you never know
I'm so happy for Brent. Good stress reliever after everything going on.
ol georgie blazed in the blazer... that bowl was definitely hittin hard.
Should run lines from the chiller though the fuel cell to cool the fuel.
Needs to vent the bed so air can flow through. I bet the black bed cover makes inside the bed a sauna. Especially with that ground temp that high. Of course have it where it can be open or closed.
I might've propped open the trunk and secured from bouncing, but ice works too.
Cleet in a month: So guys I bought a freaking F-18 fighter jet....
I think you can buy Mig 23s and 29s and Harrier jump jets for about what Mullet cost to build.
Because Murica!
@Faux Que They are planes,it all transfers from plane to plane, plus they copied our technology or vise versa.
f15 strike eagle for maximum freedom
I wouldn't doubt it at all lmao
like how Brent is stoked ALL the time, great energy to be around
Anyone else remember why they bought kayaks and randomly kayaked off the side off the highway? Lol. so damn random.
Same reason most people do what they do.....cuz they can.
Heck now they can open the back hatch and through kayaks in the back of the blazer
@@brucekoster9253 I think they call that Freedom 🦅
I personally think that the elco turned out way better and will be way more useful than if it had been a jet car
Hell yeah, Facts.
Couldn’t agree more and safer then a jet car
I mean yeah, but jet car
Agreed
They got the jet power wheels anyway now, nothing can compare to that monster.
These are seriously some of my favorite videos! Every year on RMRW is such a fun time to follow along with.
It has to be Named Jimmy... it’s basically a gmc jimmy and James is its driver.... definitely needs to be named Jimmy!!!
Jackstand Jimmy with Jimmy!
Or just "Jack Stand". Speaks for itself. Just plain "Jimmy" would be great also.
@@BUNKERJR53 I meant "Jackstand Jimmy" as in James lol since he will be driving it the rest of the week. But yeah I think Jimmy is a great name for it.
swap the grille for a gmc and call it jackstand's jimmy
Its named "Rocky" cause its Rock Mountain Race Week
Throw a dead squirrel in the Blazer so George feels at home.
That blazer is gonna need all the parts that Motion Raceworks trailer has!
lol Chet laughing when they saw the "fuel low" indicator
Monday’s are made so much better with Cleetus!
Was literally about to say the same thing. Had such a shite day at work. Seeing my boy cleet release has just made the whole thing worth it.
Freedom factory needs Florida’s largest American flag
We got some big flags down here
@@phantom629 yeah I definitely believe it
50' x80' here uptownstation.com/the-uptown-station-flag/
gonna need bigger
@@xXwildcat71Xx A quick google search shows a 160' flagpole and a 50'x80' flag for around $50,000. Probably a bit more for the concrete and lighting but that should be doable for Cleet.
Paint the skid pad
I was literally about to type "I'm calling it now, James throws nitrous on the Blazer before the next race" when he said they were getting a nitrous kit for it xp Gotta love the consistency
Either is really late or George is Heavily intoxicated when he’s talking about that blazer
That's what I was thinking. He looks pretty lit
Radio shows like 330am, so could be either or both, haha
Ig post said this was at 5am
You can tell by his pronunciation. Definitely still a little lit lol. I'm surprised Cleetus took the risk with him driving
Could be both......
4:03 "It's got a straight pipe on there".
Thanks for being an awesome team of Family Friends and showing us what life is about!
Can't believe they fit a giraffe in that little plane!
Raceweek and Airplanes, I think we can all die happy.
Speak for yourself I'm still a virgin.
Motion Raceworks Aero Division, custom parts for bush planes.
@@peterhineinlegen4672 Lol, as long as its Experimental
“Fuel low?” Tech note: it was full before it was started. #viperlyfe
I’m assuming James already picked out a drill bit to drill out the nitrous jet a bit before he’s even installed it.
more like : nitrous jet ?? does that go in the toolbox ? 😁 all the n2o plz
its prolly in the driver side visor
The large US Flags are called Garrison Flags and the Freedom Factory needs one.
Hello Mr. Garrison!
Hello Mr. Hat!
What a day!!!! Good times, airplane rides, AC all the way for George and Jimmy. Can't beat it, unless you add a lightweight full frame S10 blazer.
Mullet has a ton of stickers on the back window now.. must be why he’s spinning from all that hp
Indeed
😂😂😂
Each sticker is 5-20 hp and I see about 25 plus the big motion one on the side.. #promod
You guys should build this into a full blown drag week monster like mullet, I mean you got it on drag week it's like destiny lol.
You mean like Stapleton42`s LSXcalade? He took out Uncle Chet last year, uncle Chet in a Lambo and Mitchell with his Cadialac 5 0r 6000 pounds SUV smoked him! Stapleton42 did the same thing with his Yukon XL, named Uncle Rob, and he beat Uncle Chets 650 HP Range Rover! ruclips.net/video/QRNb-qJIPrA/видео.html
This is the LSX Escalade:

Or a small tire no prep car that would be cool.
@@tstuff1213 I've been hoping for them to build something competitive for no prep for ever, they need to finally build a big tire tire car and go hurt some feelings.
@@kylemaples6461 YES. Big tire blazer with a nitrous big block and a 2 speed power glide and a 4 link out back. That would be SUPER rowdy. The one thing i'll say is a problem with big tire is the cars are escalating to the moon and if you go to any bigger No-prep event your going up against heavy hitters, in small tire you can still be competitive with a lower level car it doesn't have to be full blown 2000hp just to be competitive like big tire. Also I feel like starting with small tires is better because if you can make it hook on a small tire you can definitely get it too hook on bigs so its kind of easier to learn and then grow and you know how to dial in the chassis. Just my opinion
Paused at 1:44! Epic passes through towns you never see, followed by epic passes you talk about at work!
Airplanes race cars and good people this is what america is all about
Beer… your forgot beer
AMEN!
amen!!! God bless murricaaa. euro haters just dont get it.
Dont forget bombing children and stealing their oil
Enjoy it while you can.
With the bed cover and drag wing mullet almost looks like a rollback wrecker from the trailer cam
I thought it looked like an 8ft box...lol
Hauling full sheets and hauling ass...
Well how about that, go to race week and get stopped by a fan with an airplane. Then he gives you and your friends a ride!! What a unplanned BONUS!! Only you guys could get so lucky! Thanks for the ride along!
I assume Cleetus already knows who Mike Patey is but they would be very good friends with Cleetus' interest in aviation and Mike's relationship with the drag community.
Draco...
The new bush plane he is building is epic... on so many levels!!
@@mikehagen3785 Draco is dead, long live Draco X! Well, once Scrappy is done anyway.
@@martindinner3621 Yup, I fly RC planes, and lots of people are crashing the E flite version of Draco also... I keep telling them they dont have to fly that scale.. Scrappy is going to be a bad ass!

The guy with the beautiful blue Rans S7 is Todd.
He has a YT channel called 'Gravity Knight Flying', and takes his viewers on lots of cool outback adventures.
Check out the Flying Cowboys too. They do some pretty incredible and occasionally crazy stuff.
thanks JSBIRD! thank you for mentioning this! Appreciate those that have come over and shown some love! 👍
@@GravityKnightFlying thank you Tod! Brent’s smile was incredible.
Let's show these guys some love. What a gesture to take cleet on the bald eagle experience.
I think this might be my favorite video. The random plane ride, the night cruises in the newly purchased Blazer. Freaking legendary
Can you imagine the conversation with his life insurance actuary?
So you build your own drift and drag cars? And are trying to prove sustained, underwater driving? And you bought your own race track? And you own/operate a giant mud truck? Oh, can’t forget aquatics… what with the race hovercraft and jet boats. Well, it could be worse. It’s not like you accept plane rides from random strangers you see driving down the road. Wait, what….???!!!
I wonder if the reason mullet is no longer a jet car was conditions of the freedom factory mortgage.
@@jackdonkey22 no it was a legit self preservation concern after a few jet car incidents the year the plan changed
😂😂 living his best life.
I'd put gmc logos on it and call it the jack stand Jimmy
Literally cannot like this more...
Jimmy Jimmy
Swap the front end too
I actually still love this generation of blazer! I used to have an '02 RWD. I drove it for about 3 years. Then gave it to my brother. Still running and driving good.
Who else randomly stumbled on Cleetus on day and has been here ever since? 🤘🦅🤘
Been watching for 4 years now
✋🏻
Been watching sense the days of the rental ram!
Yea that was 3 years ago for me lol
Since that 6 gear burnout in Leroy before he was turbo👌
On those s10 blazers if it’s a true extreme model the there should be a spring inside the rear end to make it possi at least that’s how mine was.
I kinda think its not an extreme. I'm not sure tho
Their best bet is to see if the RPO codes are still in the glove box. For the blazer look for the codes V4A and Z87. For pickups its V4A and ZQ8.
That was Probably the best view I’ve ever seen well somebody’s driving down the road you don’t just see the road and what’s in front of you, you see the surroundings area of you! best view while driving down the road ever really really cool!
It's crazy how smoothly mullet cruises along for a car that's not long been put together
No way that Blazer survives. Too bad, looks like a decent vehicle.
I don't want it to survive. I want to see it go up in Flames. Forgive me brother! Lol
Time for ole Jackstand to spray the house down
It might be a good thing if that engine pops. Think of the next engine. All of the possibilities. All of the power
Yep they always fix the nicer stuff, Cleet seems to like it, definitely has potential!
Ya so it can get a Texas speed and motion auto remodel and be a hell kitty killer. I'm not mad
Every time you play the travelling music I just get super happy. Doesn't matter if its the jet boats, the toterhome or the drag week stuff it makes my day!
Motion raceworks support trailer, bolt ons only, challenge is to shave 1 second off the ET
I bet Cleeter has his own plane within a couple years. He loves his r/c plane.
ever check out flite test on the youtubes? cleet needs to see those guys they do crazy builds
James in a Viper... That's a lot of freedom right there, with ice cold a/c to boot. Made the trip that much better I'm sure.
The Blazer didn't come with a Black Ice air freshener. I don't trust it.
glad some other folks got this
it's a well known fact that GM picks out a huge AC compressor and then builds some sort of car around it.
8:24 “As long as it’s got turbo dude we’re good!”
Truer words have never been spoken. 🇺🇸
Brent looks like his about to umpire a baseball game.
Those dark color lids on the bed of mullet is turning that bed into an oven
Not saying you're wrong, colour definitely plays with temp. But watching a few videos from other non Cleetus related racers, several cars had the same issue on that trip, and they weren't black. It was just a dang hot day!
Kevin from ksr is probably already designing a cool suit for the tank or a cooler of some kind
Does the tailgate fold down, to let some air out?
@@tezzrterry7485 can't the tag is in the tailgate
@@tezzrterry7485 Also I don't think he can open the tailgate with the shoots being there
Dude I'm your guy when it comes to aviation, been working as an A&P in GA for over 10 years and have worked on everything from a 152 to a BBJ 737 with tons of corporate aircraft in-between. If you have any questions feel free to hit me up. I love you have a passion for aviation as well. It's an awesome community just like the race car community.
I can't get enough of this awesome content you're pumping out, much love from Michigan 🤙
I wonder if the black deck lid is drawing in heat. Maybe a thin layer of insulation under the deck lid would fix the hot fuel issues.
I had a very similar problem with my 2003 Z06 with a single aeromotive eliminator pump. We ended up putting a fuel line cooler in the system to keep the pump from vapour locking.
I have no doubt that Kevin already has the solution drawn up for Cleetus
And he could do a demo ranch and chrome it just in case cause reflective surfaces bounce off the rays from the sun
His brother in the red Mustang had the exact same issue.
Or add a vent or 2
The emergency thermal tarps that walmart sells would probably work well for this. They reflect the heat quite well. People use them in pop up campers and they drop the temps a considerable amount.
HELL YEA BROTHER!! It's share your passion day on the Cleetus McFarland RUclips channel.
That whole blazer skit you guys looked toasted. Lol
blazed n buying a blazer lol
Day 2 and George is wasted already.
@Josh DeMoss I said "looked"
This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons
...But I do love KSR* ftfy
who doesn't love George ?? he is the best !! cheers from Australia
only cleeter is the person to pull over and get a ride outta an airplane
“ SUMMER OF FREEDOM “
Hell ya Cleater Let’s Go!
🔥🔥👏👏👍👍
12:08 back in the day a "cool can" was your most popular bolt on power adder. Usually a 2 lb coffee can filled with ice water and some soft copper tubing coiled up inside. With everyone so focused on intake air temps with forced induction this looks the fuel temp was overlooked. Especially under a sealed black carbon fiber bed cover. Don't worry Kevin your still the man and 1 of the best fabricators out there 👍
If you don’t want to weld the diff which I recommend you can pick up a lunchbox locker they’re like $50 and you can install them without pulling the carrier out so you don’t have to mess with re-shimming everything they are not the greatest but for what you’re doing it’ll get you through the week The proper name for them is mini spool
A mini spool is different than a lunchbox locker. The mini spools don't unlock like lunchbox lockers do.
Depending on the axle you may need to remove the ring gear to fit the lunchbox locker. Chrysler 8.25 let's you install them in the axle housing but a Dana 30 requires the removal of the ring gear on the carrier.
You also don't need to reshim a gear set if you reinstall it exactly how you took it apart.
Yeah thats an awesome idea/plan. It'll be super easy and handle ten times better than welded gears and be pretty easy to find and cheap, but i dont know about $50 they are usually 3 or 4 times that much for a decent one. Although this is cleetus so he could probably get one for nothing, it'd be sick if Motion Raceworks made a set, their machining is topnotch.
@@dobermanracing Sorry man my bad I think all of those things are garbage if you don’t replace the carrier you’re looking for trouble so I don’t pay a ton of attention to them I just know they exist every time I hear of someone putting one in they are usually complaining because they broke it and they should’ve just bought something decent in the beginning but for getting through race week it would probably suffice because if the wrong guy welds up your rear diff you will permanently lock the C clips and cause yourself big headaches when you get home I have a Ford 8.8 with an eaton in it and I just welded the rear diff in the Dana 35 on my jeep because it just goes off road so I don’t need it to be polite when it’s on the street and my Evo has already got everything it needs
@@600wheel Punctuation would give you more credibility. Long, rambling run-on sentences make you seem a bit unstable.
@@claytonbyrd6134 Yeah I was in an industrial accident where I broke my back so I find it easier to dictate than I do to type which yes I have had it pointed out to me I agree with you but it is what it is and it isn’t going to change I save what I got for doing things that I love
Only way that could have turned out better is if it were a GMC "Jimmy" hehe.
Haha that's would've been funny
16 yr old me Would have given ANYTHING for that BLAZER!! 38 yr old me feels the same way! I hope we get to see more of it after race week.
The Blazer is on POINT. talk about an EXTREME edition. The pre TBSS!! They should’ve come with a 5.3 back then on the top trim level versus the 4.3 V6.
