I always say the RUclipsrs i sub to buy the dumbest most ridiculous looking vehicles ever. But once in a while, they buy something super cool and i get wicked excited to see what it will become. This is not one of those times but maybe next time.
Admit it, the primary reason you bought this was so you could drive it to the shop and stand around talking about how ridiculous it is (which is totally legit).
"Is he driving it into the canal, just to be done with it?"- I was thinking something similar at that same time - Nate's just gonna scrap this thing so he never has to work on it
That's not ridiculous at all. That is cool as heck! If I saw that for sale I would instantly justify it as something I need, despite not needing it. Nice find Sir!
This is absolutely hilarious! I saw that thing in marketplace a while ago and have been trying to talk myself into not buying, so I'm glad you did cause I was about to! Lol
Well Casey, it's certainly an honest, uh, thing. It doesn't just look like a death trap, it is one. Can't wait to see this conversation on camera when it goes for the safety inspection: Inspector: So what's this supposed to be? You: It's an off-road rat rod. Inspector: Uh huh. That's probably where it should remain, off of any public roadway. I agree completely with your vision for it. The reactions of people - who've taken their crossovers to places of no return - when this thing shows up, on tracks with a boom on the back, should be priceless.
Now you own it! Now you get to improve it to your liking. I fell in love with it as soon as I seen it. Some ingenuity went into it, and now with your ingenuity added to it makes it to what you like. Kudo to you
My absolute favorite part of the car is the duct tape dash that was rattle spray can the same color as the body, including the overstay on the front windshield.
Brings back memories of my boyfriend’s home built vehicle built with wood, painted forest green, over a VW bug Chassis. Low-to-the-ground, no heater, but fun, and totally unique.
Casey , buying Casey things off FB marketplace making Saturday morning videos, fresh coffee and this, its going to be an awesome day ,I luv the sketchy stuff you buy off marketplace
I like the paint on the windshield and how bad the doors fit it shows the real Quality the builder had in mind ! And the engine sounds like its last leg!
As a current Washington resident who lived for over a decade in Oregon, it will be interesting to see how the registration process goes. In Washington, they don't care much about what happens to your vehicle if it os older than 10 years.
Oh when you called your truck Jed I loved it when I 1st saw it I thought your missing the 2 barrels and the seat on the back just like the Beverly Hillbllies truck, which is on RUclips Full Strength beer site and others, love what you do stay safe and well all of you
Heck, I think I'd get that just because it was way too weird to pass up!! That rig has character in spades!! And the fact that it runs good? A real bonus.
This reminds me so much of when a neighbor built a car body out of plywood in the late 1960s. Plexiglas windows, caulking at the corners and house paint. He would drive it on Saturdays as it slowly rotted away. Yes it was rectangular.
That thing is a hoot!! Fun idea, questionable execution lol Love the motorcycle mirrors. Sounds like a 2.4 YJ should. Cool find! A couple weekends of tinkering to bevel the edges, better door latches and redesign the cage. Fun rig!
The back of your hat and the lower part of the vehicle look like a solid color match, so, .....you did it because it matches the HAT!!! ....I'm sure your wife will love this reason...
steering looks to be a bit blue-toothy. But it does go and stop well, seemingly. Great seed material for that tracked wrecker build you mentioned. A win.
Good thing it has a 5 speed because those 2.5s are gutless. I remember driving one down to so cal and having to leave it in 4th to maintain 65-70 on the highway.
I always say the RUclipsrs i sub to buy the dumbest most ridiculous looking vehicles ever. But once in a while, they buy something super cool and i get wicked excited to see what it will become. This is not one of those times but maybe next time.
The good news is that no matter what Casey does to it, it can't get much worse!
If it's to have tracks would not Windows also be nice
Personally, I like it. I think it would be a good desert rig
not gonna lie, you got me in the beginning 🤣🤣🤣
Cut three inches out of bed for tire clearance.
I like how Nate just no question, gets in, starts it, and drives off. 😂
There are men all over America saying let's build a silly vehicle because Casey will buy anything 😂😂😂❤ .
Man is not wrong 😂
😂😂😂😂 Yep
agreed with you 100%
Lol got my wheels turning
🤣😂You may be right, we know their crazy. Sung to an old Billy Joel song.
Half Mad Max, and half Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! 🤣
The best way to describe this thing.
Love how Nate doesn't hesitate to hop in and drive it!
Your wife will use this video as proof when she has you committed.
Lmbo!!!!
100%
Bet she has called already.
hahaha but looks fun.
😂
😂 Casey is as crazy as a fox! 👍
No way! Casey has the coolest wife. Besides, she can't complain much when he actually retired her from her full-time job 😂
As a retired mechanic, this is definitely a mechanic built car, everything works but the body work is questionable at best.
Tweekers build for sure
Body by 6 year olds.
Very definitely function over form
I want to see the inspection (in its entirety) when you take this to DMV to get registered.
Oh definitely!
Me three
I would actually pay to watch that video .. 🤣🤣🤣
Me four! lol
Me five
I think my favorite part is the unmasked rattle-can Bugatti blue duct tape dashboard.
Yes, quality 3M duct tape. Not just masking tape or cheap duct tape.
Hey ! Thats one of a kind custom!
Admit it, the primary reason you bought this was so you could drive it to the shop and stand around talking about how ridiculous it is (which is totally legit).
"Is he driving it into the canal, just to be done with it?"- I was thinking something similar at that same time - Nate's just gonna scrap this thing so he never has to work on it
I love how Nate went from ”This is not safe…” to ”We need to make the cage taller…” we…
Saturday morning cartoons are back! The child in me rejoices!
Lol
Move over Jed Clampett!😂😂🤣
@kevinscott404 Cool! Didn't know that.
This is Jethro's sons truck.
Granny approved.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you gased up you forgot to check the saw dust in the dif. And transmission. It is lucky Nate has a wood welder
.
That's not ridiculous at all. That is cool as heck!
If I saw that for sale I would instantly justify it as something I need, despite not needing it.
Nice find Sir!
And THIS is exactly why I dig your channel so much! Looking forward to watching snow recoveries with this on tracks! Epic!
After you get the wrecker built. Get with Rory and Merlin so you have trailmater towmater and toymater all together in one place
The beauty of this rig is you can bang it up, spray a flash of matching paint and no one will know the difference.
Paul at Fab Rats would approve and Must see this in action.
Passenger can just rest feet on battery to hold it down.
It is a Jeep, lol. Just Enough Essential Parts! With Just Empty Every Pocket! Hugs from Utah love it, Casey
I love the screwdriver door pins and the motorcycle mirrors !!
That took a lot of alcohol to design a masterpiece like that can't believe they would part with it 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Casey LaDelle Ranch....Home to moving mechanical solutions to problems you didn't know you had. Good job sir!
When you show up for a rescue in the boonies, you need to have banjo music playing.
😂😂 That would be epic!
Was that thing built by Red Green?
No. There's no duct tape.
But there is , it's on the dashboard
Needs more Rust for a Possum Build 🤷🤦
Enjoy ✌️😂
Yeah that's way to clean for Possum Lodge, though Red may have helped on or inspired the dash build lol
That dash is a work of art. Really cool.
This is absolutely hilarious! I saw that thing in marketplace a while ago and have been trying to talk myself into not buying, so I'm glad you did cause I was about to! Lol
I was kind of hoping someone else would so that I couldn’t, but it sat there for so long that I finally caved 😂
Gotta luv the duct tape dashboard 😅
If you succeed in getting this registered, I will see Oregon in a whole new light.
I see you showing up at a recovery , straw hat,bib overalls, barefoot,banjo music,calling Grumpy " Pa".
😂😂😂😂
100%
See Casey driving parts of new car flying everywhere in wind...this is driving so much better than i expected.. 😂😂😂 awesome
Well Casey, it's certainly an honest, uh, thing. It doesn't just look like a death trap, it is one. Can't wait to see this conversation on camera when it goes for the safety inspection:
Inspector: So what's this supposed to be?
You: It's an off-road rat rod.
Inspector: Uh huh. That's probably where it should remain, off of any public roadway.
I agree completely with your vision for it. The reactions of people - who've taken their crossovers to places of no return - when this thing shows up, on tracks with a boom on the back, should be priceless.
Can't wait for DMV to see that!
I really like how you color matched your hat to Jed when you first picked it up...
That is a real joy to drive up and show to your buddies!!! Wonderful!!!! I'd do that too! God bless you.
and a real buddy just gets in & drives off.......
Now you're ready for Matt's Offroad Wrecker Games.😂 The truck/car is cute though 😊
I love the blue duck tape dash
If you can maintain it and it passes your state inspection... you got a great deal. Don't forget to cover both battery terminals.
Now you own it! Now you get to improve it to your liking. I fell in love with it as soon as I seen it. Some ingenuity went into it, and now with your ingenuity added to it makes it to what you like. Kudo to you
Great way to start a rainy Saturday with Casey and Hate laughing like school boys about to partake in another shenanigan.
My absolute favorite part of the car is the duct tape dash that was rattle spray can the same color as the body, including the overstay on the front windshield.
Brings back memories of my boyfriend’s home built vehicle built with wood, painted forest green, over a VW bug Chassis. Low-to-the-ground, no heater, but fun, and totally unique.
All i can hear is the duelling banjo from Deliverance. 😂😂
I freaking love it and your vision for it😅😅😅😅.
Nate's like what kind of crap did Casey bring for me to work on now.
Two words… MATT TRACKS, MATT TRACKS (scream it with me!!) MATT TRACKS!!!!!!
MAAAAATT TRAAAAACKS !!!!
Cool concepts. I think your mechanic is reevaluating. Good thing he is a friend. Send my sympathy to him.
Love Jedd. That thing is awesome. I love the idea of a mini wrecker with it.
Thank you for making me laugh this morning.
Anybody remember a show called Junkyard Wars?
_Scrapheap Challenge_
@@dancarter482 IIRC that was the UK name, and Junkyard Wars was in Canada, possibly the US as well.
Yep. It sounds just like my YJ . Cool truck!
This is what a Facebook marketplace addiction looks like
And the car is the result of another kind of addiction :D
Casey , buying Casey things off FB marketplace making Saturday morning videos, fresh coffee and this, its going to be an awesome day ,I luv the sketchy stuff you buy off marketplace
When you go to rescue people in this, you need to be playing banjo-music as load as you can.😂
SUPER FUN AND UNIQUE. GOOD TIMES AHEAD!
Dude, that on the back of the rollback to rescue (particularly on tracks) is going to look sweet
I like the paint on the windshield and how bad the doors fit it shows the real Quality the builder had in mind ! And the engine sounds like its last leg!
Those old 4 banger 2.5 iron duke's are always loud.
Thank you!!!! I’m feeling better and better about the stuff I buy!!!
Nate is going to be dreading this ‼️don’t change the
“OIL”
😍 what a cool looking lil rig Casey! Definitely a one off
Dude was a Big dreamer small fabricator. 😂 it looks cool. From Maryland.
That jalopy is setting off my ocd in every possible way. Great find.
When you make it a mini wrecker you can call it “toymater “
The Blue Dumpster Fire….paint flames on it! Looks like fun! Can I drive it?
That will be cool, going out to the bush and having fun
As a current Washington resident who lived for over a decade in Oregon, it will be interesting to see how the registration process goes. In Washington, they don't care much about what happens to your vehicle if it os older than 10 years.
Gas Station What the F....?!!! Oh hi Casey, how's the family? Possibly Jethro rather than Jed.
Oh when you called your truck Jed I loved it when I 1st saw it I thought your missing the 2 barrels and the seat on the back just like the Beverly Hillbllies truck, which is on RUclips Full Strength beer site and others, love what you do stay safe and well all of you
Heck, I think I'd get that just because it was way too weird to pass up!! That rig has character in spades!! And the fact that it runs good? A real bonus.
That is an absolutely fantastic machine! You're going to get at least 100 giggles per mile with it.
im glad you called it jed because beverly hillbillies was the first that came to mind.i see a remake
I saw Nate in Red Bluff on Sunday night! First time that I've seen a RUclips star!
That's the Tractor Supply I went to!!! Sunday morning!
WAAAAAAAAYYYYYY
COOL! ❤
Icon eat your hearts out! 😁
Those mirrors! Chef's kiss!
Your color-coordinated cap is an amazing touch 😊.
So many questions...
Lead acid battery in passenger compartment? Unsecured in off-road vehicle?
This reminds me so much of when a neighbor built a car body out of plywood in the late 1960s. Plexiglas windows, caulking at the corners and house paint. He would drive it on Saturdays as it slowly rotted away. Yes it was rectangular.
definitely Kool and looking like a blast to go trail riding in
Tracks will be interesting. 🤣🤣 Thanks for the video
That thing is a hoot!! Fun idea, questionable execution lol
Love the motorcycle mirrors. Sounds like a 2.4 YJ should.
Cool find! A couple weekends of tinkering to bevel the edges, better door latches and redesign the cage. Fun rig!
Casey, you are an absolute joy.
The most ridiculous and the coolest! I have a dream vehicle just as ridiculous and after seeing this, I’m going to build it!!!
whoa, that's a Deal you don't walk away from..... RUN!
This is on par with northeast plow trucks and western drill rigs. Awesome!
The Guy's will have so much fun
Cool purchase for what ever it is.. Funny, Very Funny.
Narrow the bed put a headrest on the roll bar get rid of the plastic roof raise the roof support put a canvas top on it
The back of your hat and the lower part of the vehicle look like a solid color match, so,
.....you did it because it matches the HAT!!!
....I'm sure your wife will love this reason...
This cracks me up ! Not the little truck , your friends . They are laughing with you not at you . some good guys . love the little truck . a fun toy .
Maybe a little at him also.
steering looks to be a bit blue-toothy. But it does go and stop well, seemingly. Great seed material for that tracked wrecker build you mentioned. A win.
That has got to be the biggest most coolest POS I've ever seen. Best of all its Jeep in Wolf Clothing.
Love the gleam in your eye and the smile on your face.
Enjoy!!!
❤❤❤
Casey's channel has such variety. Buying this Model TYJ is cool.
I love it Casey. Lol. I'd totally drive it. I think it's awesome.
Your friends are rough on you. Lol. 😂😅
Good thing it has a 5 speed because those 2.5s are gutless. I remember driving one down to so cal and having to leave it in 4th to maintain 65-70 on the highway.
Beyond excited to see this thing with a mini boom on it, was thinking the same thing
I saw this thing driving through redmond the other day. Couldn't figure out what the hell i was looking at. Haha
Your hat matches the jeep thing 0:37
The Willys is the coolest vehicle you’ve bought and driving it home was epic! This YJ/truck thing is cool though and I’d wheel it.
So cool. I agree if it's cheap I'd buy it also.
