Should we give away a truck next? Built BRZ Rally Car Giveaway www.grindhardplumbingco.com/
Not a fan of the brz build
@@ryanwatkins1821 seems like a hot take
i'd love to see a minijeep build giveaway!! or even one of the old builds!
Sure a truck would be cool but what would you do to make it a GHPC treasure?
The button is for brights
You guys really need to do a full size offroad build. Completely from scratch, something for Ethan to really showcase his fabrications skills. Like the power wheels but bigger!
Don’t believe these comments! Always look for the check mark next to the name
It needs some switchable sway bars.
That way you can have the best of both worlds; no body roll for faster turns, then when disengaged, you'll be able to get flex for crawling. I'm sure you guys could even make it switchable electrically or something, so it can be swapped between modes at the flick of a switch!
Quick connect swaybar links are great
or an antirock sway bar
I think it would be simpler to have a spare mount for the sway bar link, mounted on a bearing, and change between sway bar on/off mode by unbolting it and rebolting it on the desired location
I definitely said that when I seen it going around them turns thing look like it was about to tip but other than that great build as always ❤
The floor dimmer switch content is valuable history for anyone younger than genXers. 🍻👍🏼
It doesn’t surprise me how many people don’t know what a old school headlight dimmer switch is lol
I'm surprised he actually guessed somewhat close (I only give him 1/2 credit for flashy beamers).
No kidding I grew up on those switches lol.
Well if that doesn’t make you feel old…
The flasher beam? 🤣
STILL have my first truck...1971 dodge d100! love that damned switch haahah
You guys really deserve a big well equipped shop. You achieve so much in a tiny little shed, imagine what you could do with a big shop.
As somebody from the UK this is what everyone thinks American cars look like
Honestly I see car on the road this big in Idaho... The rumors are true!
Friend of mine has a cummins swapped powerwagon rolling 37's. it's a huge thing.
@@Spirit_Lanayru that's amazing, wish we had stuff like this in the UK. But hey, we have some stuff that Americans don't
My 97 F250 is rolling on 38x15.50s. For certain parts of the country its fairly accurate
In the Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Washington, Oregon) they're not common, but not rare. The snow and mountains require big vehicles to safely make it home. They're also fun to drive.
Love how the idle sound perfectly transitions into the song @ 14:10
looks like you guys and WD are the kings of body roll now. looks so easy to flip over
Who wouldn’t be surprised to see a diff pillow in Ethan’s house next week? 😂😂😂
Would be a fitting addition to the bed of steel hexagon cutouts that he's already sleeping on
Hey you're the guy from the thing
You men are incredibly interesting and definitely the best utube channel in my eyes , I often wish I were there as part of the team . I can't find the word's to describe my feelings about you guys. I'll just say that I love to live vicariously through your uploads ,. Thank you !!!
& the bed frame on air bump stops?😅
eBay decided to send us the truck back for some mudding and snow wheeling! 🎉
the broncos looking good, fantastic work on that custom lift, and those 43"s fill it out well, and it doesn't look goofy for how tall it is, but it definitely needs some sway bars, you don't want to roll her when driving.
These guys are magicians. They make the toys I dreamt of as a kid. I love the channel, you guys are great.
It's the hi beam switch, miss those old school bits that are unique like that.
The button on the floor is your hi/low beam for your headlights, not flashers
It turned out to be the perfect tire size,width,wheelbase, stance, and height right off the bat!!!😀👍
Ethan proves once again that he is A Fabrication Jedi!
This whole entire series had me hoooooooked! Fukkin beast of a build.
Looking forward to topless videos!! Hope you guys take advantage of the modular platform and build lots of custom tops. Cab cap, pop up camper top, soft top are all ones I rock and love
Great video Westin's shop is like 15 miles from my place its awesome to see a good ol' kansas boi's build turn into a dream build like this one much props to everyone whos worked on this truck!
My dad has a '79 Ford Ranger 250, swapped with a 460ci from a '78 Lincoln Continental, with a custom-made diamond plate dump and a diamond plate toolbox on each side. It's awesome! But the foot switch for the high/low beams is so cool. I wish my car had it too. 😂😂
Correct me if I’m wrong but that button on the floor was always high beam switch for headlights in my trucks.
Looks like whistlindiesel monster max 2 with all that body roll. For real tho I already saw this thing on the trail after this upgrade and omg it looked like it would just flip over. Of course it won’t since you have so much weight down low on the axles but it looks so scary. It actually handled every trail very well. Great job guys. You guys Westin’s team and Lacey’s team all did a great job!!
"I know what's wrong with it... Ain't got no gas in it."
Oh my damn why!!!! Made me cry a little watching those cuts to the body. Made one hell of a Bronco nice build maybe best one yet
This is just such a beast of a vehicle, like hydraulic steering!!!! That's wild
Such an interesting setup!
love and respect from Australia ,you fellas are the best
They need to add this to snowrunner for console mods!! Haha
We need snow tracks for this!
That truck will definitely need some limiting straps on it with that type of roll lol
Leroy jenkins
HAHAH yes
truly a peak meme
Your truck is my uncle😂
Your truck is my uncle😂
You guys are champions - what a cool collab build!
I can't help but realize how much it looks like an rc crawler
I can’t believe Im 9 days late to a video like this that I’ve just been waiting on.
Wow guys your machines just get bigger and bigger. Amazing!
Man ford used that high beam setup for so many years. I think even my 71 ltd had it :)
That is 2 bad bronco build buddy love it. You should do more of these
5:55 I’m excited although I understand this isn’t exactly progress. Lets get this build done as well as possible 👌🏼
It’s actually super simple to get them to prime up quick. Just hold a gas rag over the intake of the turbo (don’t let it get sucked into the turbo) after about 1 minute it’s fully bled
Crazy how much work the one does and others watch.
Yooo!! I bought some merch for the giveaway! You guys are so cool with all the builds you do! Keep up the amazing content!!
The hill didn't even slow it down! What a unit!
You guys are on a different level man! Love absolutely everything you guys do!
The Bronco is a pretty good platform for a Cummins. I met a logger over in western Washington that had a 1991 Bronco and it was so nicely done it looked like it was ordered with a Cummins in it. He had little tires on it (33's).
What a youngster it’s a high beam switch 😂
Amazing! Real metal and an awesome motor.
Ethan sounds straight up exhausted the whole time!
Giving an 👍👍👍 for the extra pretty parts that no one will ever see!
That's a beast. I've got a CJ-5 with 44s and 14in coil overs . Goes through logged woods like you're on pavement lol
Such a beast boys loved the series westerns a legend Lacy’s a weapon and you guys always smash it outa the park hope your all well cheers
The button on the floor is for the bright and dim selector 😂
Get some currie anti rock off road sway bars that be sweet👍
Always liked the dimmer switch on the floor.
MY DAD HAD A 78 WITH THE SIDE WIND WINDOS THAT SLIDE ALL ORIGINAL IT WAS A PARK RANGERS TRUCK UP IN SONORA CA THAT THING WAS BEAUTIFUL TWO TONE METAL FLAKE BLUE WITH A SKY BLUE IN THE CENTER LOVE THEMM TRUCKS.
We have some great shorts coming out on this bronco soon!
Can't even get my truck to start!
This things a beast! 💪😎
Love this build!! 🔥
The Bronco became a BEAST! 😳
And if you install a tick-tack fuel pump, it will be sooooo much easier to get diesel to the pump.👍
This gotta be my all time favorite build tbh
watched this whole series a few times, massive inspiration you guys did so good explain and showing us all the work I love! 3rd or 4th time watching this video alonee!
If you run a 12 valve out of diesel generally you have to go through quite a bit of steps to get it going again . But I have done it before by just putting fuel in the tank and using ether to get the engine going and get diesel back up to the engine . Lots of coughing and sputtering , but it'll eventually draw the diesel to where it needs to go . When I used to work in logging we had to start all our equipment that way every morning .
Perfect combination of everything that makes the perfect mud truck 💪
Thats going to be sick fun in the snow
Scammers need you now lol
"Thats supposed to be a valve stem.." *immediately proceeds to undo all the work he just did. This is how i work in the garage lol
Red bull and jágermeister shots are the bomb
this thing looks just like my RC bronco, the oversized tires fit it so good
You know what they say about opinions... mine says "I would have run those hydraulic lines straight back into the frame area into a block, then dropped another line forward to the steering. You'd have almost zero flex then - plus you would not need to worry about trail debris grabbing hold of those lines and ripping them open." Nicely done though... can't wait for Champlain to beat the doggs out of it.
So first of all… I have been waiting patiently for this video forever!!! That was a long week! And secondly that thing definitely needs some currie anti rocks or it will be on its lid in no time!
Awesome build though like always good job!
Hat Tip to you guys! That is some SERIOUS advanced Redneck Engineering! 🤣
Them wheels go together like alot of my rc rock crawler wheels and tires! Which all happen to be ford bronco's aswell😂 neato. Love this build
Keep an eye on those beadlocks. The internal rungs may not be wide enough for those tires. Military spec tires have thicker sidewalls.
This is my favorite year bronco. Beautiful truck.
When are you going to build the shop? Love the vids
I did mechanical engineering in high school, I love building custom projects.
Very cool!
I'm usually a Chevy guy but with the swap & upgrades, that's a badass setup
Ah, I remember the first time I seen a dimmer switch on the floor.. it was in the early 90's..I was playing in my parents van.
This series should be called "overkilling for the sake of it"
I knew it was headlights as soon as he said button on the floor. My friend's dad had a 77 3/4ton pickup and I remember asking about that button when I was a kid. I watched that guy tear that truck apart and rebuild it a few times. For a few years it only ran off 6 cylinders. He was a logger and ran that thing extreme off road so the truck took a beating and a half and still kept trudging along. He said he would own it the rest of his life. Im sure he never got rid of it.
Yeah I definitely wouldn’t attempt a doughnut in that until you get some sway bars. Turned out great though!👍
I changed a head gasket in my cummins two weeks ago and it blew again a few days ago. It's not easy changing those things out when you're old, disabled and solo lol. Now I got bigger problems to worry about.
You should get Westen to do another one of those motors for the firetruck.
Can some one smack will .." what is this button? " 🤣😂🤣
My dad had one when I was a kid it leaned so much it was absolutely terrifying I mean I could ride in or on anything with a motor but the lean in that thing going around hills after just getting done climbing a hill always had my heart in my throat lol
The grind hard boys need a 12 valve for the fire truck 🚒
Oh yeah both of you my favorite RUclipsrs
This Truck is Crazy 💚💙❤
You guys are beyond impressive. This is some insane content!
That's a righteous sounding rig 😌
Legend has it they had to move the high beam switch back to the floor in California because they kept getting their foot stuck in the steering wheel.
That exactly how most RC crawler wheels are designed too!
That is an awesome build. Good job guys.
I'll be there next Saturday to drop off my 2kxj. You guys never fail to impress
I love how there’s a full on film crew in cab with you, yet you still used footage from the GoPro lol
Years ago a friend of my brothers borrowed my Dad's truck, a 1983 Dodge D150, and had to ask us how to turn on the headlights (Switch on the dash), the immediately called us back to ask how to turn on the high beams (Switch in the floor) haha!
Man that sway had my stressing out. badass build love it. What's the plan for the sway?
Swaybars are pretty simple, just a big rod with arms on it mounted to the frame with pillow block bearings. The trial and error part is determining what diameter to make them after you've calculated the necessary arm length for proper travel. A bigger diameter gives you better roll control, smaller diameter gives you more flex, so it's a compromise unless you have a disconnect built in for times when you need all that flex.
Will, the button on the floor is the high beam switch. Lol.
That bad boy has body roll like my rock crawler LOL
Ethan is a legend!
You basically made a on road tracktor or off road car depending where you drive👌🏼
Very need!
I immediately subscribed to y'alls channel after watching this episode!!! sick build!!
love the build guys just like all your others builds out of this world you guys are on another build level love it and keep up the good work love from the uk :)
