The suburban was really impressive , I didn't expect this long wheelbase to make it through this trail . With a modest lift kit and bigger tires this thing can go anywhere .
It still made me cringe
I cringed but was also in awe. Was not expecting it to do as good as it did.
I own a 94 suburban on 35 that all it will need
It can go anywhere untill it gets stuck somewhere lol
That rattle would drive me nuts! Spend 2 bucks at the hardware store and....Get some rubber gromets between the back panel and the frame
Are you guys all allergic to safety glasses? After suffering an eye injury myself because of poor judgment, I just cringe with Matt using a cutoff wheel without eye protection. Was the earmuffs so he couldn’t hear us all yelling at him? Love your channel and all that you do.
Best part of the whole video “We just eyeballed it”….. “How come my holes are so far off”😂😂 I love these videos 😂
After previously just saying "we're just eyeballing it"... lol
I’ve been watching a lot of Matt’s Off-road Recovery videos. I’m not an off-road guy even. BUT he treats his crew well, acknowledges them, and treats his customers gracefully. There’s something going on here that transcends off-road recovery
You definitely don't want to have your radiator hose higher than the radiator. If you do you'll have air in the hose and won't be able to bleed the air out.
Not to tug on superman's cape, but I second this thought. definitely a potential air pocket in that upper hose.
Was about to mention this. Would hate to see him overheat and break in the middle of a recovery. Hopefully he sees this.
You guys beat me to the comment. Hopefully they see the comments and shorten the hose before it causes problems on a road call.
I agree with this hopefully they get it fixed
Was about to mention that. Needs to be about 4 to 6 inch shorter.
Above all else, I'm impressed with Matt's ability to organize, manage, and keep people motivated. Also, I feel like he creates a place where people love to work and are proud to be a part of what they do. This is REAL skill. It's not easy. Well done!
Wonder if their hiring 😂🤷♂️
@@SHENANIGANMEDIA1 would that put you on the road to success or off the road to success ? How would you say it ;-)
@@fordfiveohh off road success 😂
Yeah, he's in his calling.... his vids are a pleasure to watch, no "airs", no egos, just out to help and have a good time whilst doing it... I second your motion:)
I couldn’t agree more! I keep saying I want to put a application in to work for Matt but commuting from central Indiana to Hurricane, Utah isn’t ideal. 😒
I love seeing a the heavy (K2500) Suburban, offroad, doing things that most people would never expect a Suburban to do.
I was impressed at how far Johnny's BMW (Big Mormon Wagon) made it without assistance, good job. His running boards took a bit of a beating, but still look ok. I've always liked these big old Suburbans, they remind me of the old International Travelalls which were awesome.
Hat's off to Johnny and Matt.
Lol Big Mormon Wagon, I like that. Reminds me of the name I have for those big Nissan NVs, the Catholic Home School Bus.
A little North of him, we called them MAVs (Mormon Assault Vehicles)
Matt, safety first! Glasses when you are cutting; save those eyes!
I know it’s been said a hundred times, but wow.. the suburban really impressed me. Never thought that heavy vehicle with a mile long wheel base would crawl like that.
It's not a Ford....
Cant wait to see what it will do with a front locker.
@@mudswamp3334 are this purpose built vehicles though? It seems like this suburban maybe new be his every day driver.
Long wheel base is a catch 22. It definitely helps on climbs if you have the clearance.
The biggest drawback of a suburban is the rear that over hangs the axle.
Too long and you hurt turning, but they got rear steering for that.
If there is anything I learned from watching Matt's off road Recovery. Is that there is definitely a time and place to specialize vehicles!
Build it for where you wheel, and how you wheel! If it's a daily driver, changes everything too.
Yeah. While it does make it unwieldy, a long wheelbase makes it very stable, and use its traction well.
As a "part time editor" let me just say KUDOS to whomever edits these vids! I know how painstaking it is and you have multiple cameras! Great job. It's a thankless job people tend to forget about when watching a great video).
I always wonder that. also wondering. How long would a vid like this one about 30 mins take to edit?
@@mobius-1503 it depends on the content, the quality of the content, how much, how many angles or cards, how many interruptions or frame cuts/perspectives you want. And then even then it’s gonna depend heavily on the editors Pc wether it’s SSD or not and how fast the SSD or M.2 is rated for moving and editing everything then would come the internet reliability and speed aspect..
Yes, I am not a fan of whoever edits Heavy D's vids
I had a 94 3/4 ton burb w/ 4wd and a 7.4L. What a great truck. Cool to see one doing this!! They are tough rigs!
Eye protection is mandatory in our shop weather you're working or not. Matt should wear a shield. The disk could snap off and get him in neck. Game over.
One of my employees was using a grinder and got a tiny piece of metal lodged in his eyeball and had to go to the emergency room. Please use safety glasses people. I cringe every time I see any of you using these tools without them. You'll wish you had been using them when you lose an eye.
Great show, again. Please wear your safety glasses when grinding, using sanding wheel tools, etc., and helping with the same work. Seen way too many preventable injuries. We care about you guys.
second that, especially grinding or wire wheel
I came here to say this. You're wearing the hearing protection. Grab a face shield, goggles, something, you only get one pair of eyes. It's one case where OSHA is really right.
He was using safety squints, so it is all OK.
I'm no mechanic but I thought the same thing as these folks! Matt, on the trail you worry about everyone's safety but in the garage you set a bad example, especially for Liz, as she was off grinding metal with air tools without eye protection & you were even cutting metal without eye protection. What could happen is very painful and could even mean loosing an eye.
Yes, safety glasses. Only takes 1 time for things to go wrong, even if it hasn't in (insert time frame).
By the looks of it that suburban resembled a ship on a dry land, surprised me with how far up it crawled itself though lol. Well done guys!
Matt, you are such a good role model, but PLEASE start using safety glasses. Lizzie was grinding without them, also. If you start, they will follow. Even Paul is getting better about that.
If he were to use safety glasses all the time wouldn't nothing turn out right ...have you ever tried to work with them all the time? Legit question
@@mad_mechanic have you tried working with no eyes?
@@mad_mechanic That's complete horseshit. Not only is it just as easy, you're guaranteed to be able to do future ones.
@@randallsmerna384 agree to disagree I guess 🤷 rather not fight I was just curious about job success rate based on looking through plastic vrs not ... I didn't think that was horse poo
Fruit for thought why are plastic lenses still classified as safety "glasses" ... You can see through glasses I feel like they robbed the word just to sell there boof cheap plastic and force you to wear it like a mask 😝🤔🧐 probably me just blowing smoke though anything can be looked at good or bad it's a harmless opinion at the end of the day cheers 🤜🤛
Hey Matt, great videos. You might run into overheating issues because of the top heater hose having a "hump". You can get an air pocket which can cause heating issues. I recommend cutting it so it's horizontal directly into the top of the rad. Keep up the good work.
I was looking for this comment and finally found it ! Let’s pump it so Matt can see it !!!
This. This needs to be read.
I was searching for this comment also, definitely recommend shortening the top rad hose to prevent an air lock! Also I enjoy watching all your videos, keep up the good work!
Yep...I agree 100%....I was going to make my own comment but figured I'd Look for one first...
@@Rom17863 I'm pretty sure Matt is aware and don't care. Looks like that hose had factory ends. He'll replace with a shorter one after it airlocks and overheats on the mountain :)
That was pretty impressive for a burban. The locker made huge difference. Needs a little lift for sure and a limited slip front would be a huge difference. But very impressive for sure. I think the wheel base helps a bit too. Although in most cases it's a disadvantage. Seemed to work good here though.
Having owned a bunch of Suburbans over the years, this really made me laugh! What fun doing something that vehicle never contemplated ever doing!!
There are actually quite a few Suburbans that can take on the tougher trails, just not enough of them to be noticed in the overall off-road world, unless one happens to be running in the group. Their abilities tends to be underestimated by most, until they see one in action.
HEY MATT!!! Radiator filler should be highest point in your cooling system…right now you have an air trap the way that hose goes up and back down to the engine. Just rotate the hose so it isn’t above the filler and you may avoid some issues getting your system purged!
This was my first thought seeing it! 😀
I came here to mention the same thing. Could just shorten the tube so the radius is better.
See, that hose is just a high loop! Good enough for a dishwasher, good enough for a Bombi! /s
1st thing I thought when I saw it!
No glasses with a cut off wheel? You're smarter than that Matt! ;)
Nice video! I've never seen a Suburban do that. lol
Being a GMT400 fan and enthusiast, I’m surprised that IFS stayed together.
I ran my 1990 3/4 P/U for awhile with a 4” lift and 35s. She didn’t stay together long. Went to a Dana 60 out of a Super Duty and coil overs. Getting ready to swap out the Detroit lockers to air lockers.
Great platforms with some simple and affordable upgrades. The GMT400 is such a tough platform with a massive amount of options to build it in any direction.
Aye matt my grandfather passed away this morning of cancer and for the past 7-8 months he been watching yalls videos and videos just like this and it really helped him through it all he was 75 just wanted to say thanks he loved the rigs and the help to the community
The loop in the upper hose will give you air pocket problems.
Beat me to that comment. Just need to cut the hose and shorten it.
I was thinking the same thing. If the radiator cap isn't the highest point in your coolant loop, there will always be problems with air in the system.
Considering how awkward it is to get to the radiator cap it might not be a bad idea to put a radiator cap sleeve in the middle of the upper hose then it will end up literally right under the platform and it will be the highest point and easy access with just a hinged flap on the platform floor. Could kill two birds with one stone.
While I agree, chances are Matt’s already aware of it. The guy built the MORRvair from scratch & stroked the XJ on his own (no professional mechanic help) I’m sure he’s well aware of it.
@@robdog1245 he had it built. Big difference.
As a man who very nearly lost my right eye last year I feel like sending you guys a whole box of safety glasses. You should start selling Matt's Off Road Safety Merch
Someone already did
Not just selling safety gear, using it!
There is no second chance if you loose a eye. Wear them glasses 🤓 🥰
I agree I almost went blind when I was like 4 or 5 due to watching my brother testing a battery with a hydrometer and acid flew into my eyes luckily we washed them out quick enough and I didn't go blind
I feel like this team is only going to start taking safety seriously when one gets really hurt. Matt cut the panel for the radiator without glasses, Lizzy grinding the door right next to Trevor. Just a matter of time till one loses an eye.
I see the running boards swapped for rock rails in Johnny Boy's future. Gotta say, I'm impressed in what he was able to do in that Suburban!
Some home fabricated rock rails, a front locker or LSD, a small lift and slightly larger wheels and that would be enough 4 wheel drive for most people.
This is what I like to see, full size mostly stock rigs giving it all they’ve got.
Safety, Matt! Safety when doing shop work (eye protection). Just think about all those youngsters who want to grow up to be just like Matt some day. 😁Always love watching.
Ditto: Eye protection
I wear eye protection even when I don't need too....because I have seen others damage their vision. If a few of us sends Lizzy a pair of stylish safety glasses possibly that will be a inspiration.🥽👓🥽👓🥽👓🥽👓🥽👓🕶 And no I am not a safety freak (I have seen)
My rule of thumb is if I'm using power tools or a hammer I wear eye protection. I have shattered metal things with a hammer before.
Even just being under a car wear eye protection because rust in the eyes ain't fun ask me how I know. And getting a socket thrown into your face sucks as well. Eye protection is so cheap too and you can never be too safe
I had to meet an eye specialist twice within three or four years for not using safety glasses. Now I know better...
Next time on Matt's off road recovery: rock crawling with a school bus. 😆
cenc--That is FUNNY!!
I knew suburbans were beasts in the snow but this takes them to a whole new level
WOW I'm beyond impressed with the Suburban!! I've always wanted an old Suburban but not because I offroad at all LOL but because they are beasts and just massive!
Matt: “We just eye-balled it.”
Also Matt: “How come my holes don’t line up?”
So what I get from this is that your buddy at Fab Rats has a better 'eyecrometer' than Matt does. ;)
Lizzie learns from you Matt. Please teach her safety by being a role model yourself and she will follow, both in the shop (safety glasses) and on the trail.
I was going to mention goggles while grinding....steel slivers in your eye aren't good, speaking from experience.
I was going to say not wearing safety glasses when grinding shocked me! you can’t replace your eyes, please wear protection when grinding
Exactly. Horrible leadership .
MAN YALL SOME SIMPS
It's awesome how the kids get involved and the patience the adults have with them. Hands on mechanics needs to be back in the school system.
Just wish they would teach them how to use grinders etc safely.
School system needs to be abolished and converted into community resources.
Between the scenery and all you folks, Utah appears to be a really nice place to be. Stay safe and God Bless!
I’m really impressed with the Suburban. I honestly expected it to bottom out much sooner. Now it needs a lift kit and bigger tires….Matt
I thought the same thing, but heck your with Matts Off Road Recovery. You don't even need to call for help.
Suburbans have large tires stock, they are 30 inch tires if I remember correctly. You can run up to 33's if your OK with a bit of rubbing. The large tire makes them rather capable for how simple they seem. They are heavy as shit though, which is what stopped it from climbing that hill.
@@miices Suburbans came stock with 245/75/16 tires. I've had like 6 of these and have always put 265/75/16s on. My current 04 has 285's :)
@@miices Mine came through factory; P265/70R16s 111S. Thats the 1500 model. Not sure about the scarce 2500 model. May be room for a little bigger w/wheel offset.
No they don't need MODS. They were BUILT to work and play .shocks and struts (BEEFYER) AND SHE'LL GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO POINT HER.
For the love of all that is holy, will someone please wear safety glasses when using high rpm tools! Oh my gosh it's killing me! 😄
And that's why the suburban has a star on the Hollywood walk of fame the most capable vehicle available that started the suv craze
Love the purr of the old suburban. My 99 still going strong.
Wear safety glasses or even sunglasses while grinding!!!
Stay safe Lizzy!
Got to love MAtt's safety! Using that grinder without the guard and no safety glasses or gloves!!!!
This video was just great , I grew up with a 93 gmc suburban with 4x4 and had a 5.7 in it great vehicle we bought it almost brand new we used to take it with our 19 foot Searay to lake Mead and Laughlin all the the time we put 455k miles into ours replaced the transmission twice went through 3 rear ends and just loved our submarine that's what my dad called ours. This video shows how great the old Chevys are. Very impressed
When I see kids like the ones in this video, I get a little bit of hope for the future, even if there standing there hands in pocket , that's 100 x better than face down on a screen
I failed to check my heart rate when Rudy was climbing but I didn’t want to miss a second. His ability to stay calm in that situation is a real testament to how he was raised. Well done. And then to see him digging into his Frosty afterwards was hilarious. So from now on I will call him Frosty for how he handled all that.
& I'm gonna call you a bozo for writing this comment
Go Frosty ☃️
Frosty ☃️ men
The moorvair defines the meaning of all terrain, that thing looks like it would climb a tree, good to see that when you put the locker in how much it added to the suburbans ability to off road. But I bet the running boards are coming off sumewhere, lol
Great video, pretty good eyeballing too!
@@butchgreenfield1238 definitely. Running boards off. Rock sliders on.
Matt-"we just eyeballed it." Also Matt "how come my holes are so far off?" Love your content Winder crew!
Of all the channels I'm trying to keep up with this is the one that I have seen all of the videos, without finding any of them boring or less enjoyable. But I can for sure pick out the extra enjoyable ones! This is one of them and I can't say if it's because I have a Suburban myself and got really impressed by the climbing abilities of this one!
That suburban done great . He done some good driving and listening as well . I’d like to see it with 40’s , a lift and ton axles !!
That Suburban going up the Sliplock had me _grinding_ my teeth! I was thoroughly impressed at his driving skills considering it’s a mostly stock vehicle!
If Trevor keeps riding in the carrier, you should get him an air ride seat with harness to keep him in there on the recoveries
Don’t want him getting too comfortable because then we won’t see him running and falling in the snow.
You don't want him to go soft bro. So a hard mount seat would be acceptable. Lol👊👍
@@theirishaxe9405 agreed. I’d say a rope and a saddle would be perfect.
Not the place I’d want to be with ropes under tension
Just give him a tire!
I give that sburban a big round of applause. It did alot better than I thought it would.
Many years ago, I ran my '73 Chevy K-20 in sand and mud. Detroit locker, 4.11, four speed. It went where long wheel base wasn't suppose to go. It sometimes went where Jeeps couldn't. That 'burban has much better weight distribution than a pickup. A posi in the front sure couldn't hurt. A lift kit would work wonders and get rid of those skimpy running boards. Put some strong tubing boards in their place to protect sheet metal. I'd also go for strong bumpers front and rear. I kinda wonder about a skid plate on the rear differential and probably a pretty stout one on the fuel tank.
3 things I got from this video.
1) It's amazing that they sell "Matt's Offroad Recovery Yellow" in a spray can. That's when you know you've made it big.
2) That suburban proves that semi-stock vehicles should be given more credit and you may not need to soup up your vehicle to get to most places (well, except for straight up a rock slab).
3) The way to overcome that same rock slab is to ensure you have a Wendy's Frostie with you.
Lockers and wheelbase go a long way
Any obstacle is manageable with a Wendy’s frostie
Funny you mention that, I laughed when I saw him come out of that jeep - AFTER- all that bumping around... like how'd that stay put??!!!! My theory is that he has it to "cool down" and "chill out" after that intense 'bout. :)
True, BUT, you need to have common sense to know WHAT your vehicle can do and be honest about it. A little skill doesnt hurt either.
Exactly. Until this channel and other offroad channels, I thought I had to put a 10in lift and have big ass 37s or more to get anywhere. Found that simple rock sliders, good diffs, and 35s have gotten me most anywhere.
The stealth winch install... so clean. Too many guys just mount them in front of the bumper, I love the way you guys put that one on!
Also safer in event of a crash.
I was amazed at how simple that was, just used the tow hook mounts.
I plan on doing this to my Jeep and possibly reusing the old crossmember mount because I have new IRO one. Not sure if it would work or not but it’s worth a shot.
You guys and girls always amaze me. I truly enjoy watching your videos. I only wish that you all would wear eye protection when using grinders and cutting wheels! Other than that keep up the good work!! Stay safe everyone. Jim
I’m really enjoying seeing Matt build a larger network of support/resources. That old Chevy is going to be a very capable tool when all the upgrades are completed. Having the right tool/equipment for the job is always beneficial. Once Rudy gets his axel upgrades completed and the larger tires installed, he will be able to provide a such larger support role. Once Rudy changes out the stock engine and upgrades the transmission, another fully capable recovery vehicle will be born. Really interesting and fun to watch the channel expand and build a larger network to help others in need.
When your rock crawling I find my self moving and twisting in my chair trying to help you climb the rock.
I think the upper hose on the snowcat needs trimmed. The way it is now creates a high spot that will make it a pain to bleed the coolant
Came here to comment this as well.
That’s what I was gonna say.
@@anthonyfrankmarco me too
I agree, that was my first thought, plus a grill for the radiator. Thanx for the post.
Bend hose down slightly. Fixed.
Can't cut those hoses they are formed that way and have a spring reinforcement through them.
Probably leak at the ends if you try.
That’s a heavy truck, I drove my grandpop’s ‘94 Suburban for a year out in Cali and I loved it (he bought it new the year I was born!). Great vehicle but couldn’t imagine taking it on a trail 😂
That Suburban did amazingly well on that terrain.
Though I did hear a U-joint start to splinter at the end of that last climb I can't believe Rudy didn't break the rearend in cinnamon during those three violent hopping attacks!!!! (He definitely knows how to get a vehicle to do things beyond it's expected capacity.)
Once he's done with the performance upgrades I hope a rollcage is going to be next because he'll be able to get into alot more hazardous situations than before.
Yah watching that climb made me think of Rudy's near tumble over from that other climb. Get that boy a roll cage for Christmas.
@@wyattblessing7078 na, just get him a helmet. He’ll be fine.
The 8.25 will be fine. It's the front that will go boom boom.
I thought he did break it for a second after how the wheel stopped so much faster than the rear did, I was like ouch, and it was still going lol
Rudy needs some orries to keep them tires planted!
Quote of the day goes to Lizzy! "I ain't know fancy stuff" 1:15
That is a lot of gravity to overcome on the suburban 😳. All things considered, Johnny Boy did pretty damn good
👍👍
Lizzy, when working with any kind of tool which spins make sure you wear eye protection. You only have two and they must last your life time. Many people have lost their eye site due to NOT USING SAFETY protection. This applies to the guys as well, especially when using a cut-off wheel.
Loved it when you said Rudi is an amazing driver and he knows his jeep very well. You gave him good directions as a spotter..Good spotting and parenting! Love the video's: Matt and crew!!!
"It's not done but it's finished"
Friggin' awesome
"I've still got to drive this thing home." Matt, you are a bad influence... But man was this fun to watch.
Never even been off roading but this channel makes me want to get a rig and go rock climbing. If I get stuck I’ll just make a call 🤟🏽
Love how Rudy always just stays so calm. Not afraid with a whatever attitude. Wish I could do that!
Just a few of questions:
1. Did Lizzy looses her safety glasses?
2. did that locker just replace the spider gears and so you didn't have to make any adjustments for pinion/ring gear backlash?.
3. Will skid plates be the next item for the Suburban? 😎
It is has skid plates, they are just mounted to the sides under the doors. lol
And maybe consider wearing a respirator when spray painting and a dust mask when grinding to avoid getting 'black lung disease' by age 40.
You need to wear safety glasses all the time, not just for yourselves, but as an example for your almost one million subscribers. Squinting doesn't do it!
I always freak out when I don't see safety glasses, hearing protection, and respiratiors. This is how I think after years of working in heavy industry and attending hours and hours of mandatory safety training. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
The 95+ with the Z71 package will have the factory skid plates, but if he gets too hardcore, I wouldn't count on them. They're aluminum, and my front plate is already beat up without any real offroading - also wouldn't clear that winch as is. The rear kind of already has a skid plate - it's the receiver hitch; I drag pretty bad going through some ditches, and I have about the same hitch and same clearance on my 95.
And yes, that locker just replaces the spiders. Some people call them a pocket locker, though this one looks better constructed than a lot of them. If you are careful, your sideload shouldn't be affected (Not a mechanic, this is just my understanding of how those 14-bolt diffs are constructed.)
Love seeing a big ol Suburban waddling it’s way through that.
Days in the shop are some of my favorite videos from you guys. Thanks for all your hard work and great videos. You guys all make a great team.
Two things: Suburban's are not suppose to do what you did and I was cheering Rudy on to make it. Great video.
The suburban did incredibly well, as did his driver!
Woulda never believed a Suburban coulda made it over some of that. Front lockers and lil suspension mods and it will be amazing. Might as well remove the running boards now. Impressive.
Yeah the smaller wheels helped it a lot not having a front locker but still very impressive
That winch on the suburban is badass almost like it’s hidden. I like the low profile look of it
You guys are nuts. "It's not an adventure if we don't try it!" I love it.
Had to watch it again to see how easy the morrvair made that look, because it didn't even seem to break a sweat. What a beast
Owned four 4x4's and without a doubt the single best upgrade is the rear locker.
It opens up so many miles of roads and trails, and let's you get stuck in far away places...
Have never come across anyone except a first year apprentice not wearing safety glasses while grinding ,they must be the new invisible style .
For a bone stock suburban that was impressive. It is amazing what a rear locker does for off road capabilities. Nice job to Ruddy also
Best stock vehicles ever used for wheeling were Toyota pick-ups and Jeep's and Land Cruisers..
Does anyone else get a slight Billy Bob Thornton vibe from Johnny Boy? Nerves of steel on that rock crawl. Love your family content and team work.
The absolute pinnacle of automotive engineering !!
That Suburban “Like A ROCK”👍🇺🇸
Were you really grinding without eye protection? Well, there go the steps. Maybe rock rails? I am impressed what a fairly stock looking Suburban can do.
Matt using a cutoff wheel without safety glasses was hard to watch. One of my competitors lost his eye working on a mold repair that way.
Just goes to show you what amazing capable rig the Morvair is!!
WOW😲
You guys drive me mad not using safety glasses it only takes 1 spark i know from experience i had to go to an eye doctor for 2 weeks straight every morning after having a piece of metal dust removed love the channel 😜
So great to see how Matt has such enthusiasm for all of this! And the way he encourages and guides those guys up that hill...the way he gets the best out of people... he's like the John Madden of offroading.
Props to Johnny Boy on taking his Suburban out on the trail, I don't think I would've had his confidence 💪🏽
Love you're guys work and ambition. I worry about you cutting panels out with no safety glasses. Doesnt take much to put safety glasses on just the same it doesn't take much to blind you. My grandpa lost his vision in one eye from a sliver of metal. Might be annoying at times but safe work is a practice every worker or maker should do at every level of skill.
I’m awestruck by how far that suburban made it. That (from what I can tell) is nothing more than stock and some new tires, and it’s crawling with the best of them.
I think the Radiator Fan on the snowcat is going to draw way to many amps unnecessarily the way your controlling it. You should put a thermoswitch in the radiator circuit to have it come on only when required.
OMG. Mind blown. That was insane. If my facial expressions could have been recorded as I watched this it would have explained the anxiety I was feeling for the suburban and Rudy's Jeep.
That 8.1L 454 Sub is bullet proof! Best video by far!
Great job Johnny! Matt, love how you encourage the others in your life - a true “Words of Encouragement” guy. Thanks.
Suburban Johnny is so freakin awesome! That gave me so much inspiration for my old Tahoe!!! You guys rock!
