Jeff gave me a ride in this car. He took me up Spooners and outer limits at race pace and we hit 98 in the lakebed. Changed my life. I also help him tear out the transfer case in his shop. This car is amazing.
What an incredible piece of machinery. That framework is awesome. Love all the choices made on the little things. That had to be a blast to experience on the open road and trails.
Awesome JR. Thanks for putting this together to inspire those who didnt have the chance to follow this build, and re-inspire those who did. I hope you've been well! Liked and Sub'd 👍🏼 All the best, "Station"
So much respect for the for the high level of engineering and fabrication, and yes i definetly see the improvement in the Welding as the project evolved. Great story telling in a creative way that a Fabricator can relate to.
Engine: a machine for converting any of various forms of energy into mechanical force and motion Motor: any of various power units that develop energy or impart motion Both are correct.
I love the build! And thank you for calling it an Engine..... bugs the crap out of me when people call it a motor.. its not electric its gas powered. Its an engine. This build in particularly, lol, is friggin awesome. You got some serious skill.
John, this is insane. What a beautiful machine you built! It's just amazing to me what some people can do in just a small window of their lifetime...well done!
You might have a little trouble with a few words but damn you do a great job of fabricating. Buggy looks really good. I think IFS/IRS is the future of high end buggys.
This is absolutely beautiful beautiful work nice welds , and I recognize the use of saw radius cuts, nice, non laser cut , nice 👍 kool thanks BigAl California.
Always felt NASA could learn a thing or two from guys like this when it comes to building off-earth performance vehicles that could rock. I swear the things they build look so dang fragile!
My guess its because they need to keep them light. Plus they are much lower speed than an ultra 4 car since they need to be controlled from millions of miles away.
Incredible! Few people have the design capability AND fab savvy to pull this off.......I would imagine you have to turn down work because everyone who can afford it will be looking for you. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
next john builds a land speed record car, using only tecate beer cans and 85 feet of window screen😂😆😆😅😅 pure genius, "i laser cut without a laser..."😉 hope to see more from you soon!
Engine and motor are by definition interchangeable. Engine started out as a slang word the had the feel of too complicated to work. That being said, I use motor for electric and engine for internal combustion thingies.
Thanks, the video actually took quite awhile to put together gathering all of the media. I really didn't want to do another project like that because it's so time consuming, but it was fun to do one. The timing was such that I had a friend who was interested in the project and could bank roll it. But I've turned my attention to other types of builds as you can see on my channel.
Hello John! Your video is just great! I couldn't make out the type of steering ... is it a combination of hydraulics? Who is the manufacturer of this? thanks, good luck!
Definition of motor (Entry 1 of 3) 1: one that imparts motion specifically : PRIME MOVER 2: any of various power units that develop energy or impart motion: such as a: a small compact engine b: INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE especially : a gasoline engine
There's no point in building a vehicle and not driving it, and planning to do that leads to the ridiculous junk found at custom car shows. This is vastly better because it is driven hard.

The workmanship and thoughtfulness that went into this build blows my mind!
Good God
There are no words in the English language to compliment the engineering here
Back atcha Jeff!
This was just an unbelievably Awesome build. Your fabrication skills are off the chart!
Sir, that seam welding is prime. Your talent is beyond homologations. Pure Essence!
What an incredible piece of machinery. That framework is awesome. Love all the choices made on the little things. That had to be a blast to experience on the open road and trails.
Hats off to the people like yourself who actually create these beauties, mighty fine work!
Wow an absolute awesome proof of your great craftsmanship, unbelievable!
Beautiful tig welding, fab work and attention to detail, well done!
Wonderful. Especially the details, like the electronically adjustable roof lightbar angle.
John! Absolutely amazing work man!!
One Word: WOW !!!! Thanks for sharing!! I am impressed...
Only 2 years?? Holy hell you're making the rest of us look bad! Awesome video, really showcases how much work and talent goes into these things. 👍
that is a thing of beauty - the talent and passion of those involved shows.
You are a huge inspiration. That is an amazing build
Awesome JR. Thanks for putting this together to inspire those who didnt have the chance to follow this build, and re-inspire those who did. I hope you've been well!
Liked and Sub'd 👍🏼
All the best,
"Station"
Amazing details about the build. Very nice work.
The fab work is incredible, very well thought out too!
So much respect for the for the high level of engineering and fabrication, and yes i definetly see the improvement in the Welding as the project evolved.
Great story telling in a creative way that a Fabricator can relate to.
The most perfect build I've ever seen
I Have studied many builds and this is for sure one for the keeping, excellent design.
He said engine... she said particularly. Awesome build/video.
absolutely epic build. great video!
Holy crap dude! I’m mind boggled…. That is beyond amazing!
Gorgeous welds, as always, John! 👏
Thanks, Nicole. It's a small niche video but I'm glad I got it out there.
Killer. Thanks for putting the whole thread in a video.
WOW! Absolutely insane craftsmanship
Really awesome, man. Great craftsmanship.
Beautiful workmanship!
Engine: a machine for converting any of various forms of energy into mechanical force and motion
Motor: any of various power units that develop energy or impart motion
Both are correct.
Wrong. My father is physicist and designs race cars. If I ever say motor when talking about an engine he yells at me.
What an insane truck. Beautiful built.
Beautiful workmanship. 👍
I love the build! And thank you for calling it an Engine..... bugs the crap out of me when people call it a motor.. its not electric its gas powered. Its an engine. This build in particularly, lol, is friggin awesome. You got some serious skill.
Your fab skills are second to none. Looks awesome
It looks like art! Well done 👍🏼
John you just dazzle me with your knowledge and talent
Absolutely amazing!
John, this is insane. What a beautiful machine you built! It's just amazing to me what some people can do in just a small window of their lifetime...well done!
Absolutely amazing.
Very inspiring. Well done!
Sparkly.... Master workmanship ...
Incredible craftsmanship.
wow this is quite a set up from your portal'd bronco that you first used
You might have a little trouble with a few words but damn you do a great job of fabricating. Buggy looks really good. I think IFS/IRS is the future of high end buggys.
mechanical masterpiece you ard one heck of a fabricator
This is a piece of art!
This is absolutely beautiful beautiful work nice welds , and I recognize the use of saw radius cuts, nice, non laser cut , nice 👍 kool thanks BigAl California.
This is awesome JR!
Thanks, you guys have already seen it on Pirate of course.
Not bad welding...for a musician. I keed, I keed, your work is extraordinary.
Amazing work...
Awesome video!
I think WOW nice machine will be enough! Good work!
Nice welds.
Neat project!
Simply incredible
The hammers are no joke. And neither is that buggy. Nice job.
Awesome built!
OMG.... You (and a few mates) built THIS in your garage??!! Insane. I can see where the Beetle and Corvair projects came from...
Nice build !!!❤❤
Cosa dire?? "FANTASTICA OPREA D'ARTE". Complimenti a tutti voi.
Best fab video! Thanks
Totally impressive fab skills !!!
WOW WOW WOW Amazing quality best I have ever seen and I have been a mil spec mechanical buyer 20 years
The welding is amazing
Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙌🙏
Awesome job 👍👍👍
This is pariculalarry good video. lol. Youve got some skills John!
Nice build I have friends that race Pro 4 trucks from up near Crandon off Road Track in Wisconsin.
Studio shots make it look like a toy. Very nice work for sure.
Always felt NASA could learn a thing or two from guys like this when it comes to building off-earth performance vehicles that could rock. I swear the things they build look so dang fragile!
Gravity, gravity, gravity...
Its because they are all foil, tape, and showerrods. Its all fake my guy
My guess its because they need to keep them light. Plus they are much lower speed than an ultra 4 car since they need to be controlled from millions of miles away.
Yep he nailed it with the red buttons😂
What an amazing machine
Great video
Welding that good deserves to be in a Museum
As a fabricator I’m impressed.
Very nice.
very nice.
super cool.
Incredible
Nice@!
Well that thing would look good in my garden
Incredible! Few people have the design capability AND fab savvy to pull this off.......I would imagine you have to turn down work because everyone who can afford it will be looking for you. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
That's an over-the-top insane build! Craftsmanship coats money, and I can see where $180k went.

Masterpiece comes to mind. Have you considered building a plane to compete against the P51
Engine and motor are by definition interchangeable. Engine started out as a slang word the had the feel of too complicated to work. That being said, I use motor for electric and engine for internal combustion thingies.
I still have the race dezert thread in my browser favorites!
John Reynolds, Thanks for making this detailed ULTRA 4 vid. Have you ever reproduced the frame and available for sale?
Thanks, the video actually took quite awhile to put together gathering all of the media. I really didn't want to do another project like that because it's so time consuming, but it was fun to do one.

Partic-Larry & sim-Larry, not sure I understand the problem here..?
Fantastic build..cheers🍻
I just want an RC version. I couldn't Scrounge enough Change to build a real one. Wow!
Just looking at the quality of your builds is intimidating. Think I´ll go back to bed:-/
it's amazing!!!🤩
Hello from Russia
Vary nice 😎
WOW!
Would love to see a whole race video of this truck? Post a link
Refreshing to hear someone else call an engine an engine and not a "motor"
just wow
Mantap bang 🙂🙏
Hello John! Your video is just great! I couldn't make out the type of steering ... is it a combination of hydraulics? Who is the manufacturer of this? thanks, good luck!
It uses a Howe rack and Trophy Truck pump.
@@JohnReynolds661 Thanks !
Thank you for say engine not motor!!!!!! I’m all about that! Yes it has a motor, a starter motor, or a wiper motor or a power window motor etc....
Definition of motor (Entry 1 of 3)
1: one that imparts motion
specifically : PRIME MOVER
2: any of various power units that develop energy or impart motion: such as
a: a small compact engine
b: INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
especially : a gasoline engine
That thing should have never been driven. It belongs on display in a museum.
There's no point in building a vehicle and not driving it, and planning to do that leads to the ridiculous junk found at custom car shows. This is vastly better because it is driven hard.
