Excellent video. Jim Koehler and the Avenger have by far been my favourite truck and driver ever since Dennis Anderson retired, and the fact that he's one of the last links to the golden years from 2006-2014 is one of the only reasons I still maintain an interest in Monster Jam today.
Koehler, Meents, Ryan and Adam, and Leduc are to me my links to Monster Jam's Golden Years (Or at least the years I remember) and the reasons why I still have an interest in Monster Jam even after I stopped watching it on TV.
@Pablo-312 I'll admit, it looks cool, but I don't like the way it sounds. Zoomies say Hot Rod+Monster...it looks like a Hot Rod and screams, rumbles, and roars like a monster! Jim needs to put them zoomies back on🤘😡🤘
Fun fact/explanation about the c10 body: the c10 came from garners towing owned by Jamey garner who’s truck (now one of the three trucks that use the c10 body, those being over bored, avenger, and game over in the uk) And the paint scheme I’m guessing actually originally came FROM avenger’s second apple red body. So really Jim unveiled a paint scheme he made, just on a different body.
Another great video mate. Fun Fact: When Jim first agreed to come to Australia, the original plan was not for him to be in an Avenger truck. If you note closely, the colour of the powdercoat on the chassis of the "Aussie Avenger" is orange. This truck was originally going to be a fourth Warner Bros licensed truck, Bugs Bunny. This would join Batman, Taz and of course Scooby Doo as WB licensed identities in the fleet. As time drew closer for the event it was decided that the Bugs concept was going to be scrapped, and a quick deal was struck to actually have Jim run an Avenger style body on this chassis instead. Victor Bray, famous for racing a '57 Chev bodied Top Doorslammer dragster, provided a mould for the fibreglass and it was brought to life with very limited time left before the show. This is also why there is very limited graphics on the debut body. It was agreed that the "Aussie Avenger" would remain a part of the fleet after Jim had returned home.
Oh! And I was there when I was about 10 years old in new Orleans when I witnessed the crash myself, me and mom were so relieved he walked away from that crash. 4:05
Dear MonsterTalk. I love your video's, especially the evolution video's. I can tell by the information you are giving you are preparing video's from the inside out. Not only by knowlegde but you do your research as well. As a kid I loved War Wizard a lot. There is an evolution video about War Wizard by another RUclipsr, not saying it's bad but it's kind of short, information got mixed up a bit and a lot of versions are not included ( European Tour 2008 for example ). I would love to see an expert dive into War Wizard's history so my request, long story short, is: can you make an War Wizard evolution video?
the nomad body was tragically destroyed and cut up, i acutally own a piece of it which is pretty awesome it's also signed my Jim himself if im not mistaken
I am finally watching it, but ever since I first watched this channel I have been waiting for you to do Avenger. This monster is probably my all time favorite and with a reason actually. My Pap-pap was a dragstrip racer and had a bunch of cool cars. From my misunderstanding I thought my Pap-pap had a 57' Chevy but he actually had a 55' Chevy (they both look kinda similar). I have always loved cool classic cars and I will never stop loving them. I miss you Pap-pap.❤❤❤
You do a hell of a job on these videos. Thank you for all the hard work you put in, honestly a true passion for the sport. As a long life Avenger fan this was really cool.
Avenger could debut a Grave Digger scheme, the primary green part could be black, the flames, could be green, and the skull on the side could be the grave digger ghost
Can you imagine Koehler winning the World Finals racing championship in 2017. The names he would have toppled that night would also make it anything other than a fluke.
“Oh my goodness I hate monster talk the junkyard Avenger is truly the best avenger cancel canel grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr unsubscribing now xD” This cracked me up thx monster talk looking forward to more context
The most memorable moment of Jim Koehler was world finals 2 2001 and he said I feel sorry the little guy 4 that motorhome cause it's gone I wasn't gonna leave it Tom I wasn't gonna leave it Dennis I took it out it is gone yeah Yeah I got regrets u fans r awesome.

Golden years were 2003 -2017 of you think about it after that it was over
We’ll not over but it felt like 1997-2017 were the best 2 decades for the sport

I really love how the Avenger's current chassis has the exhaust pipe sticking out on the side. It makes you shout "Hot rod".

@@j.stewey4793 Zoomies are boring. We need more of the unique exhausts like the vertical collectors
@@j.stewey4793 if he wants to run monster jam he cant
@@justinyoung109 zoomies will NEVER be boring
@@OskarasNauseda I know that! I'm very familiar with the rules and regulations
You killed this video Jackson!! The legend mr Koehler himself.. cheers to another TEN years God willing!!😂😎
I know you avengers racing
The Monster Truck Industry’s Mr. Excitement.
AAAAAAAVVVVVVVEEEEENNNNGGGGGEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!
Fr
No way
Avenger will never EVER not look good in any body, Avenger is truly just that good of a truck to be good in any design possible.
Who remembers Jim screaming 'THIS IS MONSTER, JAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!'?

I told Jim happy birthday when I met him in 2018
21:14 this is why we love Jim lol
team scream is like that small collection of uncles who always get together and do something wild to the point it last a lifetime
9:58 MonsterTalk really ruined our childhoods with these clips 💀
5:02 "which many of you enjoy doing"
Me: yeah no I was petrified of him screaming when I was younger

loved the video, jim is an awesome driver and an even better person. love the history and complete story of the truck
ill never forget seeing Jim debut so many years ago on TNN Motor Madness. What a journey its been all this time, and fantastic video
❤❤m
❤
My brother loves Jim Koehler. Jim's a great driver. 🤩 (Mr. Excitement) 🤩🤩🤩
Anyone think that Jim should bring back the chrome and the orange bodies BESIDES ME?
Oh! And I was there when I was about 10 years old in new Orleans when I witnessed the crash myself, me and mom were so relieved he walked away from that crash. 4:05

No one trumps the professor and mr excitement. I can’t imagine the sport without them
love jim. met and talked to him multiple times. i get to see him next week and im excited. if i get to talk to him ill tell him about this video
please tell for us about his reaction if you get to talk with him
@@pintinho_piu I definitely will!
Can we get a Jurassic Attack/Maniac and/or Roskstar evolution next?
What I love about Avenger as well as all team scream is the grey chassis and red shock towers
Fantastic video. Thank you for this
the nomad body was tragically destroyed and cut up, i acutally own a piece of it which is pretty awesome it's also signed my Jim himself if im not mistaken
When your a marvel fan and you thought this is what you think the name (avenger) is from marvel 🗿😂
The Garner team is who did at least majority of the World Finals bodies.
One of my all time fav monster trucks
I didnt know steve kohler was jim's brother
MY FAVORITE FRICKIN TRUCK! FINALLY
The avenger I saw at Anaheim show 3 was the fire Avenger and it was awesome 😎 And my favorite avenger is the world finals 12 candy, apple red

What a legend
at 5:24 on avenger you can see a dale ernheart rcr no.3 flag
Jim is always ALWAYS 10000% from the world stage to McDonald's parking lot. ❤❤❤
Yes!!!!
0:32 SIUUUUUUU
Not sure y’all noticed, but at 10:42 I think one of the officials fell while going down the ladder lol 😂
35:11 Flashback to WF16 2015 crash
He is my favorite monster truck
If he gets drafted to team Neon he needs to run a fluorescent pink. I know he said he’d never do pink, but it’s the perfect time to 😂
When he came to aruba everyone loved him here
For real though it is insane that 2 is still running after some of the hits it’s taken.
You do a hell of a job on these videos. Thank you for all the hard work you put in, honestly a true passion for the sport. As a long life Avenger fan this was really cool.
Avengers my fav truck
A great video as always 🤗, I wonder if you can cover independent teams and trucks like joe sylvester and mike voders, I think I spelled those wrong
hope it will include the new design
I wonder if he would ever consider running a Silverado body, it would definitely be a new look to the truck
What body are you hoping Jim runs this year's World Finals? I wanna see either a pink or brown paint scheme!
Common now. Avenger is actually a Monster Car!
Avenger could debut a Grave Digger scheme, the primary green part could be black, the flames, could be green, and the skull on the side could be the grave digger ghost
23:06 LOL
Hahaha, that's an awesome question
The nomad hood was ran at world finals 21 qualifying.
Always been one of my favorites
Monster jam on the speed channel oh the memories
In Raytown Missouri there is or use to be a brown and purple og style leaf spring monster truck called avenger
It sat out front of a mechanic shop
Mr excitement and the master of team scream!
Do the evolution of max d
I love Jim Koehler.
I still think Jim should put both Avenger 1 and Brutus 1 in the HoF
How did you find the music used in the monster jam games it's pretty awesome
My favorite design is the 25th anniversary Avenger and the black rat rod.
Good lord, counting them all up, we currently have 31 different avenger schemes! (Counting the recolors of the neon green and scuba avengers)
I have that truck as a toy 1:24 scale.
Bois he did it
Absolutely insane guy
21:23
Avenger is the sole reason my dream car is the 1957 bel air
If you want to be teammate with someone crazy I would go with Jim Kohler to go balls to the wall crazy freestyle and fast racing go for it
My top 3 favorite monster trucks are Grave Digger, Max D and Avenger
Whats the music at 7:00?
mohawk warrior monster jam path of destruction theme
Team Scream is God
Amen. And Jim's son is doing great this season (in 2023)
Can you imagine Koehler winning the World Finals racing championship in 2017. The names he would have toppled that night would also make it anything other than a fluke.
