I love seeing you guys live through all the decades of pain military mechanics have felt working on Humvees lol. They were great when they worked. But god damn did you want to use them for target practice when they became constant parts grinders. Awesome she made it home. Now rip that engine and drive train out and Cummins swap it. Would be nice seeing that. Alright boys great video and can't wait for see more of the Humvee saga later.
Great meeting you guys and a total honor having yall hang with us at the shop. Such a rare power steering pump and the fact that we had one to give was a miracle. Hope everyone is mentally prepared for one of the most wild humvee builds documented on the internet. Ethan has some plans up his sleeves and that sand hill in southern Utah is gonna get slaughtered at high speed next round. Cant wait to see the next video. Love these guys
@@ElevatedOverland Im pretty sure you guys would have found a way home.. the near by lake has some strong putty you guys could have forged in a cilm with snake skin and formed your own pulley. The belt would have been woven from all your beards combined to make up exactly 8 ribs at 113" in length. You would have also eaten the snake meat and thereby had the strength to continue your labors till you reached the promised land.
Man, yall should reach out to C90 Adventures, the guy rode a old C90 from the top of Alaska to the tip of Argentina. He also drove a mini jeep 1000 miles through the UTAH desert to Moab. Can't help but think if yall built him a vehicle then sent him out on a ridiculous adventure, it would be amazing.
I enjoyed this video .. one suggestion for future road trips: use a progress map to show how the trip is going as each town or event along the way is achieved.
I think he might have met his match in Patrick - he clearly loves his craft as a videographer just as much. I need more people who love their work that much in my life
Since the decline of Top Gear, Grand Tour, Road Kill, Dirt Everyday... I haven't realized how I missed unreliable cars on cross country road trips stories. I love these movies, thank you!
Thank you all so much for your support on this series so far. We can not wait to show you what our plans are for these two units! Check out the new merch and giveaway here www.grindhardplumbingco.com/
Patrick is awesome, he is clearly as much in love with his craft as videographer, as Ethan is as a fabricator. His smile reciting how miserable things are is so funny, content baby!
Guys these videos! Like a documentary of a mechanic, an engineer, a true American hero and quite possibly most interesting man in the world. Lol for real the documentary of picking these up were top notch
I drove a Hummer at the factory with a 350 Chev in it. It was useless. It didn’t have nearly enough torque to overcome all the resistance of the driveline. A modern diesel absolutely is the way to go. Thanks for the videos.
I was going to say the GM 8.1 big block out of a Chevy 2500 of sorts and a supercharger if they really want to go gasser, otherwise I’m with keeping it diesel.
was it an older 350 or LT1? im not very educated on the subject but it sounds like the LS1 has a bit more torque than the others. its also a bit lighter. they have another video and it sounds like they have around 1'000 lbs of weight reduction so far too.
5:46 👀There's a pretty big reason they didn't compress. There's a run flat inset, Either a two piece magnesium or more than likely for the age a solid rubber donut. There are two paths you can take Either pull the rubber donut out and shave it, or there are multiple companies that make inserts from PVC pipe. When it's in the tire/wheel it will prevent the bead from pulling off even down to zero pressure. (Google HMMWV wheel recenters for the rock crawlers who use HMMWV based rims for that very reason) EDIT: I can't help but remember almost a decade ago Dirt Every Day swapped out their HMMWV wheels for "Weight saving" a standard set with Micky Ts and busted the beads like 7 times in a trail race. Yeah all that weight reduction really saved them.....
I didn't think it was possible, but at 55 minutes and 33 seconds in, you guys actually overtook another vehicle. The fact that it was a loaded semi going up a hill shouldn't matter. Congratulations! 😂😂😂 Seriously though, love seeing you guys out on an adventure. ❤
Then next thing you know everyone and their mom's are going to move out there and fuck up the land and landscape and probably more lol.let people figure it out themselves with ground views n maybe get a glance of views.you don't want Utah becoming another San Francisco or Los Angeles or Oregon now do you?
This video was somehow simultaneously every reason to own and to never ever own a Humvee. Can't wait to see what you guys do with this thing! Thanks for taking us along for the adventure!
and without will, or a goodbye, because he wasnt allowed to, "his words". I dont know whos in the wrong, going places you cant even properly inform your audience of a departure

There is a heat exchanger inside the transfer case. So fluid flows from the transmission to the cooler to the heat exchanger to the transmission. The fluid is not supposed to mix, if the heat exchanger fails then the transmission fluid pumps into the transfer and then out into the vent system possibly ending up in the differential, hubs, or air filter.
@@sethcrawford6219 Probably because someone thought they had a good idea for reducing the number of components (which usually increase reliability of a mechanical system) 50 years ago when these things were first designed. I think they've learned their lesson since then.

He is clearly uber-stoked he gets to not only play with machines and film it, but also afford to eat XD an' its infectious as hell, makes me wanna get in the shop
Beautiful break spot to break down. Could even go for a swim, and relax. Shocking how well it performed in the sand. In the Fab rats video didn't really get an idea of how far it bent the steering linkage. You guys are nutballs for going that far with it. At least with a supercharged LS, a replacement 4l80 will hold up to whatever you throw at it. Plenty of them with a simple shift kit survive over 700hp trans brake launches. Cant wait to see what happens next
I was looking and i thought i noticed a name engrained in the dash. I think itd be really cool to try to find the oerson tied to that name as it was probably their Humvee when it was in service and give them a off-road ride in it when it's done.
@@RobertOBrien-jk2bz yeah but that's part of his corky idiotic sarcastic chaos he adds to the group. Not a damn thing he ever did was actually Premium and you could obviously walk anywhere the mini truck went. It's the fact he would find a way somehow no matter if it was toques as a seat cushion or having to redo the same thing 5 times tell he finally gets it the guy was entertaining
Oh wow! ..... ...So? We don't "notice" it because we just don't think about it. It's not our problem, or our business to care. I'll bet you it takes a ton of time/effort to film an Adam Sandler Netflix movie too. You know why I didn't "notice" that before? Because I never sat down and asked myself, "I wonder how much time and effort it takes to film an Adam Sandler Netflix movie?" If I had, would've answered: A lot. I'll bet if you asked anyone this question about the effort involved in making these vidya's, I'm quite certain they'd also answer: "a lot." ...And in a tone that screams "I'm bored with you pest, be gone." I mean wow, that person was incredibly rude, right? They aren't wrong though... To call you a pest... with their tone of voice......... Yep.... Anyway. Totally joking. I have no negative feelings toward you, in fact I'm the one being a pest at this point. I'm just havin' some fun, cruisin' some comments, bein' a pest. While I wait for... NONE YA BUSINESS, QUIT ASKING! So yeah... later bro!
you know, some of remember last episode, and a comment bywill in his new channel saying they didnt let him say goodbye. crazy people forget edwin was like ay yo wills gone thanks bye.
When you pulled up to the 218 Auto shop I literally said "what the fuck". Like come on mint green H1 in the lot and a spankin clean chassis on the lift? These guys are ABSOLUTE experts.
I remember going from the Willis Jeep to the Hummer in the army, when the Hummer was new they were great but when they started messing up they were hard to keep going
I seriously love watching you young bucks in your wild and crazy adventures. It takes me back a few decades to a bit more foot loose and fancy free time in my life, and for that I thank you! Keep it up boys! Btw, do you guys mind if random fans of your work stop by, cause we're pretty much neighbors?
One of my faves in a long time, finally some guys who know how to fix stuff and aren’t afraid to get dirty. It’s all part of the fun! Padrick & Clinton 😎 > the usuals!
There is a ring that is supposed to bolt on to reinforce the flex plate. It is the same design as on 1980's Ford Escort automatic transmissions. It's hard to believe a little ring can prevent the plate from shearing out.
Its funny to see Fab Rats shop with high production value. What a difference. Paul needs to hire a professional camera guy and a better editor. He has so much potential.
I cant believe I missed the opportunity to see this unit of a vehicle make its way down Bangerter Highway. You drove right by where some of my family lives! Crazy how this vehicle, no matter the setbacks, kept pushing toward the goal.
camera work, music, editing, you guys. all premium, i felt like i was on the road trip too. these videos are so entertaining and just get better every week!
I really love what you guys are doing and it's my dream to do the stuff like you do. Big thank you for letting us be a part of this and showing us your world. P.S: On 7:33 there is somehaow a bluescreen, maybe you guys forgot to paste a clip into it?
23:23 when you upsize the tires, you have to upsize all the components that are related to that too. In your case, remember that bit that adjusted the speedo? This unit was already running on reserve. So you didn't upsize "a little" you upsized a lot. Like half a foot a lot. You'll 100% need to beef up the entire steering package on this if you want it to work without being a nightmare and a parts chewer (so many people get this wrong with these machines - and others, not through their fault, but because it's not a common topic, and in particular, because h-vees are not civie machines, so not much proper data online).
I don't think these machines were meant to run all day at highway speeds either. Probably shouldn't have pushed it more than 55mph for long distances like that. Maybe why it overheated so often.
@@izzyryder4969 They'll do it obviously, but they don't like it. Just like when they were towing and everything, they effectively force it to do stuff it isn't intended to do with no knowledge of how to at least mitigate it properly (They needed a driver in the towed vehicle to provide steering and brake, and they refused to do that until they destroyed the fucking tow bar even after a million signs saying as such, on top of way overspeeding it) and put already questionable vehicles into much worse shape than they already were. It's kinda fun to watch, but also pretty frustrating as a result
You guys get help from so many nice people, because you guys are such great guys. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Oh that flashlight, let’s blame Hunter, I’m sure it’s his fault 😉😀 Cheers from Tokyo!
Props guys, this looked super fun and also frustrating for all involved, but I liked it despite what the complaints hotline says. Build your way, live your way dude, that’s why I like you guys.

At least with a supercharged LS, a replacement 4l80 will hold up to whatever you throw at it.
Plenty of them with a simple shift kit survive over 700hp trans brake launches. Cant wait to see what happens next
Patrick reminds me of Post Malone. Great vibes
I was looking and i thought i noticed a name engrained in the dash. I think itd be really cool to try to find the oerson tied to that name as it was probably their Humvee when it was in service and give them a off-road ride in it when it's done.
Will was such a character he will be missed
I couldn't agree more! He was meant to be a GHPC member. I'm sad he had to leave.
He was a key part to the team, his personality alone was crucial comedic part of the trio
Will wasn't sketchy enough for this Humvee.
@@RobertOBrien-jk2bz yeah but that's part of his corky idiotic sarcastic chaos he adds to the group. Not a damn thing he ever did was actually Premium and you could obviously walk anywhere the mini truck went. It's the fact he would find a way somehow no matter if it was toques as a seat cushion or having to redo the same thing 5 times tell he finally gets it the guy was entertaining
Will left the channel?
Ethan’s editing of this video is premium. From the music to everything else probably one of your better videos. Love it!! Thank u so much!!
you know...most of us dont recognize is the production time/effort it takes to produce a video.
Oh wow!
.....
...So?
We don't "notice" it because we just don't think about it. It's not our problem, or our business to care.
I'll bet you it takes a ton of time/effort to film an Adam Sandler Netflix movie too. You know why I didn't "notice" that before? Because I never sat down and asked myself, "I wonder how much time and effort it takes to film an Adam Sandler Netflix movie?" If I had, would've answered: A lot.
I'll bet if you asked anyone this question about the effort involved in making these vidya's, I'm quite certain they'd also answer: "a lot." ...And in a tone that screams "I'm bored with you pest, be gone."
I mean wow, that person was incredibly rude, right? They aren't wrong though... To call you a pest... with their tone of voice......... Yep....
Anyway. Totally joking. I have no negative feelings toward you, in fact I'm the one being a pest at this point. I'm just havin' some fun, cruisin' some comments, bein' a pest. While I wait for... NONE YA BUSINESS, QUIT ASKING! So yeah... later bro!
you know, some of remember last episode, and a comment bywill in his new channel saying they didnt let him say goodbye. crazy people forget edwin was like ay yo wills gone thanks bye.
@@derekspringer6448 that was quite the ramble...useless as it was.
This video is absolutely the kind of stuff I LOVE doing. I wish I could hangout with guys like this. My dream gig is to just be around guys like this
When you pulled up to the 218 Auto shop I literally said "what the fuck". Like come on mint green H1 in the lot and a spankin clean chassis on the lift? These guys are ABSOLUTE experts.
Missed listening to Edwins music in the videos, glad to hear it in this vid!
The people, story, camerawork and music. Perfect. Just perfect. Great job guys and big respect to Edwin for the edit.
I remember going from the Willis Jeep to the Hummer in the army, when the Hummer was new they were great but when they started messing up they were hard to keep going
I just wanted to say, I'm from the middle east, been keeping up since yall bought these humviees, And yall are too fun to watch tbh. keep it up!
I seriously love watching you young bucks in your wild and crazy adventures. It takes me back a few decades to a bit more foot loose and fancy free time in my life, and for that I thank you! Keep it up boys! Btw, do you guys mind if random fans of your work stop by, cause we're pretty much neighbors?
Damn good times they were 👍
Great to see the community taking care of each other, can't believe what you went through but you got it home!
Love the crossover with two of my favorite channels.
One of my faves in a long time, finally some guys who know how to fix stuff and aren’t afraid to get dirty. It’s all part of the fun!
Padrick & Clinton 😎 > the usuals!
Alligator jerky being "wild" shows how far north yall are 😂 that's a normal thing down south bubba
I drove several Humvees across Kuwait and Iraq 20 years ago. I’m impressed by how you guys did this.
There is a ring that is supposed to bolt on to reinforce the flex plate. It is the same design as on 1980's Ford Escort automatic transmissions. It's hard to believe a little ring can prevent the plate from shearing out.
Maybe they could get better flex plate durability by using a Mezeire racing SFI certified billet flex plate.
That red "candy" was likely the GM anaerobic sealer (pn 1052943) which is common to use when sealing up transfer cases
Its funny to see Fab Rats shop with high production value. What a difference. Paul needs to hire a professional camera guy and a better editor. He has so much potential.
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it. That long exposure stuff at 1:07:30 looked great!
The humvee journey continues💪🏼
I honestly loved spending a good chunk of my Saturday evening with you guys. I wish I could be a hand in all of the adventure.
Who can sleep when you're MISSING A SOCKET!?!
I cant believe I missed the opportunity to see this unit of a vehicle make its way down Bangerter Highway. You drove right by where some of my family lives!
Crazy how this vehicle, no matter the setbacks, kept pushing toward the goal.
46:40 first thought "bye bye 10mm"..... But fate intervenes and blesses their trip.
We thought the exact same thing
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo i was shocked you found all but one.
camera work, music, editing, you guys. all premium, i felt like i was on the road trip too. these videos are so entertaining and just get better every week!
Glad you enjoyed it man!
Put a turbocharged caterpillar motor in it
Socket storage i like tool pods in a tool bag and for the roof tent frame out the rear passenger compartment and mount it on the roof
yall really need to start releasing playlists of the music, the soundtrack on your videos is amazing.
EPIC! USA is Gorgeous. 218 Auto Garage, My Man! Greetings from South Africa.
Ethans enthusiasm and positive mindset is so damn infectious. Also, loved to hear the problem solving on the belt failure
This was the best thing in a long time. All the difficulties and successes made this video epic. Hopefully this will become something of a tradition.
More DirtGarage colabs!
Love seeing Dirt Garage and Elevated Overland collab in this one!
Keep it a diesel don't LS it
Mildly tuned LLY would do nicely.
I agree, the diesel suits the hummer well.
The shot of the socket set splattered over the road with exactly one socket left in there is pure gold!
I really love what you guys are doing and it's my dream to do the stuff like you do. Big thank you for letting us be a part of this and showing us your world.
P.S: On 7:33 there is somehaow a bluescreen, maybe you guys forgot to paste a clip into it?
That was the joke. They accidentally deleted film in the last one, so they put in the "film"
From war beaten landscapes to some of the most breathtaking views of pristine landscape. What a ying yang moment for the Humvee
23:23 when you upsize the tires, you have to upsize all the components that are related to that too. In your case, remember that bit that adjusted the speedo? This unit was already running on reserve. So you didn't upsize "a little" you upsized a lot. Like half a foot a lot. You'll 100% need to beef up the entire steering package on this if you want it to work without being a nightmare and a parts chewer (so many people get this wrong with these machines - and others, not through their fault, but because it's not a common topic, and in particular, because h-vees are not civie machines, so not much proper data online).
I don't think these machines were meant to run all day at highway speeds either. Probably shouldn't have pushed it more than 55mph for long distances like that. Maybe why it overheated so often.
@@izzyryder4969 They'll do it obviously, but they don't like it. Just like when they were towing and everything, they effectively force it to do stuff it isn't intended to do with no knowledge of how to at least mitigate it properly (They needed a driver in the towed vehicle to provide steering and brake, and they refused to do that until they destroyed the fucking tow bar even after a million signs saying as such, on top of way overspeeding it) and put already questionable vehicles into much worse shape than they already were. It's kinda fun to watch, but also pretty frustrating as a result
Love seeing the collabs. Paul, Matt, Robby, you guys...all awesome content!
Hell yeah part 2
The first person running, combined with the jazz is fantastically premium. Very smooth very noice.
1000 miles in those seats 😅
😂
Ethan is a pure mechanical genius and can legit fix anything, anywhere, anytime.
7:32 looks like a little editing fail here
or a play on "deleting something"
Nice to see the Salt flats looking so good. I hope the weather holds for speedweek.
Ooh feature length Hummer madness? Yes please!! 😸👍
woa, even the cat gives a thumbs up?! hell yeah
You guys get help from so many nice people, because you guys are such great guys.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Oh that flashlight, let’s blame Hunter, I’m sure it’s his fault 😉😀
Cheers from Tokyo!
Eww don't put a ls in it put a duramax in it
Couldn't agree more
Eew Duramax schill, lol more power is more power, as long as I see more Humvee I don't care what they do to it
I think when they last talked about it, the idea was a duramax or cummins in one and an LS in the other
I vote ls with a whipple
@@strydknaffla7910 Does the LS have as much torque though?
Props guys, this looked super fun and also frustrating for all involved, but I liked it despite what the complaints hotline says. Build your way, live your way dude, that’s why I like you guys.
It don’t feel the same without will😭😭😭😭😭
Will was never going to be part of this trip anyway, even if he was still working with us. 🤣
HATS OFF to the video editor! Awesome job, great drone footage and excellent music choices!
Thanks man!! Had a blast editing this one - Edwin
first view?
Got it!
I got first before
