Not trying to be rude. But personally I was always here for the fun thoughtout projects. The recent many months of more and more "clowny" content isn't to my taste, although I understand it might gain views.
Post Will videos seems to have brought a bit more serious tone. But a campingtrip in an old Vette with a gas-can and axe zip-tied to it, however fun, is not what i originally followed Grindhard Plumbing Co to Watch....
I understand you gotta do your thing. Just letting you know my personal opinion and point of view.
Glad your wrenching on camera finally now we get to see you solve some problems an will cant take credit for them lol 😂 😂 sssheezzzh hope you still have will on or do cross over with bum take care 🙏 @Grind Hard Plumbing Co.
Thank you guys for keeping it real and awesome just how the adventure happens no carrots baiting deer or anything. . . Jk can't make up a real good adventure .
fr best channel bc yall keep it real with us
❤why did you air down when you need the car as high out of the rock as possible ,,your on rock not sand ,,,im a little confused ,,is Ethan the only one there with common sense and off road know how ,,you grew up there in the hills yet know very little about basic things needed to travel bush comfortably with little issues. these videos are going down hill when you need to destroy a car just to get bites ,,sad guys .poor motor ,id not let you ever borrow rent or use sny personal transport i own thats certain ,,i guess many people have little respect for the things they dont own.
Buying salvage cars is a grindhard staple. Feels like something a regular person could do without massive yt earnings
We got this car for $4,000 and put under $400 into the wheel and a-arm. Defiantly doable for a great time and fun car!
It was an excellent challenge it was a n attainable adventure for the average Joe looks forward to more
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo damn thats a steal.
Dang nice snagggg..
Meh 2000 too much honestly but not a bad car to heart transplant into a Hummer, hopefully Ethan can do some gear reduction because the LS isn't powerful enough to move a 7000+ pound truck lmao
3:00 That is indeed not an ostrich. You call those emu's. They are Australian.
Ed: "Have you ever seen an ostrich? ..."
And you still haven't lol
Love the videos but that sir is a spilting mall u guys need a axe lol
As an Australian I suggest not upsetting the emu's 🤣
Turns out they've never in fact seen an ostrich. 😂😂
My bad haha
I meant to mention we got this Corvette after it had been crashed for $4000 and fixed it with a $100 front arm! I kind of still can’t believe it. What a deal. ✌️
The drone launch off the trunk while moving looked so cool!
I little once upon a time in Hollywood inspiration
Such a fun car to fly out of
Buys a humvee and trashes the engine. Buys a corvette and trashes everything but the engine. It's all comin together now....
Unless they drove it with a blown headgasket that entire time.
@@dormantmenacenah they’ll forge it anyway head skimmed rods done etc
i mean they already said theyre gonna ls swap the humvee
@@karlmarx9255 The corvette has a blown headgasket. It consumed coolent the entire time, while dripping none, so the engine is eating it.
@@Bobbywolf64 Ya, I'd love to see what the oil looks like?
So hyped to see Steven making more of an appearance these days, dudes an absolute vibe to hang around.
Ehh.. kinda wish they all stayed behind the scenes and just let Ethan do his thing, hes the only one with talent..
@@FJB2020Ethan can't carry the channel and its "one 30 minute video per week" concept. Especially now that his projects get ever more elaborate.
The Will & Edwin combo doing their own build on the side was perfect for that, with Steven behind the camera.
Then again they have long teased a "Steven builds his own chopper" 🤔...
@@AccAkut1987 He built the channel to where it is now, right? He can definitely keep it going.. This filler garbage content is going to kill the channel..
@@FJB2020 Don't watch it then. Everyone else here seems to enjoy it.
Has to because Will left to make his own Chanel due to 3 hour commute everyday etc
“I usually sleep earlier than how late we were not sleeping”….best grind hard quote of 24 😂😂❤
Steven without sleep is an awesome combo
ehhhh its not that great
Boyfriend watches this on the TV at night w me and the dog to wind down. We watched that part 5 times, crying, and I had to come laugh with the comment section. So effing hilarious
That's an Emu 😄
Shoot haha
lol beat me to it. The only similarity to an ostrich is that it’s a big bird.
Haha yeah that’s right… they both can’t fly…
Allegedly.🤪
@@scotttod6954 imagine seeing that angry beast in the air! Haha
Is this a new series? "Will it off road"?
New shirt "I can off road that" 😂
I was so much fun I would love to make it a series
Would be SO much better if Will did the Will it offroad. :(
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo DO IT!
@@user-nj9mh7ly2n They call him Off road Will he
Places you can't even walk
When a bear attacks:
- Quick, get in the car.
- Lock the doors.
-...oh 🥺
I tell you what. Will is going to be missed and good luck to him in his new channel, BUT I've always felt that I would like to see Edwin get more on the tools, and now he might!!! Edwin my dude, you're more creative than you probably realise. You're a beast of an editor and your creative cinematography is just beautiful! Jam that shiz into something crazy that screams you and makes shop daddy Ethan proud!!! Let's go ghpc and please never change!!!
Airing down a corvette is insane! They already sit so low to the ground 😂🤦🏻 6:25
Yeah defiantly realized that was a bad idea real quick haha
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo You should have realized that when you bought a Freeking Corvette to go off road. I wonder about you two if you have all your marbles???
And low profile tires! Great way to bust that new rim again.
@@wayne4529 thats the hole fucking point, to do stupid shit in things that arent supposed to do these things
i k ow how redundant lol for that tiny puddle too lol
Will better come back for the Chang Li 100 mile challenge 😤
Those drone shots never fail to amaze - especially in this environment!
It is such a nice place to fly
This was a really cool chilled segue from the normal programming, loved it, I vote for one video like this every month or 2.
This is what happens when Ethan is away...👍
I know a guy with a Viper you need to invite for a trip like this.
He is only partly done.
@@JohnnoBogan just like this corvette is also partially done :p
Hehe love that viper
Right!?😅
Nah hes been out in it @JohnnoBogan
this gen corvette is one of my dream cars, lol.
Good to see someone treating it like it should, out having fun... and not garage kept.
Those are/were Italian made real magnesium wheels , I believe they were the most expensive single option on the C5 hahahah !
That must be why we could not find a matching wheel 🛞
I have a set I took off my '97 I'll have to look up the info on them.
@@danielcarroll5667 Too late to wear steelies now. 😄
change all 4 to cheap one
Yes lol
Thanks for maintaining the fire pits guys! Fellow North Idaho guy (Wallace area) and every time I go camp I have to muck out the fire pit because no-one ever does! I can't stand when the ashes are overwhelming the fire ring 😂
It's great to see Steven more involved with the adventures, and it's great to see that Edwin can still do some really sketchy things without Will's influence.
Edwin Airing down the front tires of a rear wheel drive car For traction😂
Lol using a splitting maul as an axe is funny af😂
And a spade as a shovel.
This was so much fun! We have to do more movies like this! 🎉
🔥❤️🔥 just need to make more videos period.❤️🔥🔥
I CAN MTELL YOUR BOARD WITHOUT WILL
Ok, now tell us the real reason you bought the Vette. Never mind, I forgot you want the LS for the H.
Hey man my family lives up in athol and we have land out in Troy! Been going through Clark fork my whole life, wondering what fire road this is?
@@batbrains187 I would love to try and get out two a week. It is a dream but I think with the right crew very possible
Watching this 38sec After it was Uploadet Makes me a Little Bit Proud 😅😂 greetings from germany 🙌🏼
Good work!
Oh no, the Emu Wars are starting again!!!
Love how you guys have been camping in the last few videos, makes the videos feel like full on adventures.
Absolutely loving the Steven/Edwin vibes on this trip 🔥🔥 great video guys. Stoked to see what’s in store for the next few weeks 😉
Thanks! It is about to get wild
Beauty and deer and nature. Thanks for taking us along..
Our pleasure
i second this. The trees are so tall in this area... its incredible
Was kind of hoping to have you get it reallt stuck and somehow get Matts Off-road Recovery to come save you just to see Matts face when he sees that Corvette deep offroad 😂
Off-roading a corvette is insane but I’m here for it! And that scenery is beautiful!!
These two man camping trips are super cozy. Love seeing it
I can’t believe Steven slept through the deer adventure 😅
with a small water trickle next to where I sleep I could sleep through a grizzly attack
I know you want to LS swap the Humvee but that Corvette is begging to become the Ariel Nomad’s American cousin.
That painting is an amazing historical artwork.
I can't imagine how long it takes to stop to check for cameras, go back for dropped cameras, stop to check again, stop to check, stop to check, go back for camera, ETC, let alone stopping to get shots and what not. What dedication. Love the videos! Keep it up!
Its crazy seeing the clark fork gas station! My family lives there just outside of town. Yall are making me homesick lol
As an Australian i suggests against messing with the emu's 👀👀
I would describe a grind hard video like jumping both feet into a hurricane. Then it's over. 👍👍👍 love you videos!
Okay, now I see you guys are going places where you can't even walk😂
The drone lifting off the back of the Vette shot... Chef's kiss! 🤌🏻
I put thousands of miles on my C4 Corvette offroad and it was damn near bullet proof. The only failures I ever had were from throttle position sensors getting wet everytime I pressure washed the mud of the engine.
Super fast matt approved😂
He wouldn't say that it's good, just that it's good enough.
Thats some beautiful country!!!
I grew up in South Texas where we have flat lands and muddy bayous.
Glad to see more of Steven on cam!
The 25 mile challenge! Going places in a Corvette, you can... well... kinda walk, even in Crocs. Man, that poor camera really took a beating.
Went up there last month and had to turn around at the snow in my 997 turbo was hilarious (removed front splitter) would have been fun to have ran into you guys haha.
Keep up the great vids, 7b ftw!
I bet the snow is gone now!
7B silent but proud man. No destination names! Too many people know already. That's one thing Ive noticed from you Edwin/ grind hard you hardly mention the names of places you go. Respect.
@@MrBryce0 good point, definately agree. The whole area has changed so much in the past few years. Went back and edited it.
@@torsenlabs21 not to be a Karen or anything 😂 being a small town guy I want to share it with everybody because it's so beautiful. But people tend to destroy what's beautiful or at the least take away the tranquility of it. Or drive a Corvette through it 😂 jk that was awesome.
You guys always look like you’re having a blast that’s awesome
I could ask so many questions about this vette.
But I'd agree with every reason to take it off road. Great content as always!
That Giraffe sniffing around your camp site in the morning...
Amazing! 😂
You made my day 😂😂😂😂
I love where ed is taking the Chanel, doing stuff other than just building crazy stuff (don’t get me wrong I still love it and watch every video) I hope he does something cool with the vette cause I definitely wanna see a Pt. 2 of the build
You guys live in some of the most beautiful scenery the pacific northwest really is remarkable
Build a street crosskart!!!!
The shirt should say “ GHP - Doing things you shouldn’t “. Then a pic of the Corvelander
Before even playing the video I was like ‘ PLACES YOU CANT EVEN WALK!’😭🤣
That is one wild ride ! You guys are crazy lol...
👍🏼👍🏼
First time seeing Edwin work on anything since will left
Not to mention if im not mistaken he stated he doesn't do mechanics and wasn't good at it. For lying drop and give me 20😅
Will left the channel?
The safety glasses are what got me 😂
The OR in cORvette stands for Off-Road! 😂
Complete Off-Road VEhicle Trail Tested Experience.
YES!
@@EdwinOlding strip it down, build a cage, long travel suspension...
Ethan can easily find another LS 😆
@@UmmmmmmmWhat I think we should do that with a hard top
Thats some military acronym shit right there
The deer really liked the corvette !
Love seeing Ed at it again 😎
"Let's air down and send it!" should be on a t-shirt.
Tip for pouring fluids easier: Turn the bottle sideways so the air in the handle doesn't cause the fluid to "glug" as it comes out❤
Airing down drive tires on a corvette rim gives u zero gains with traction. Especially the front tires. They need to roll and be pushed and aired down cause more resistance against the back tires and decreases ground clearance which that vette has zero of
Man I know exactly how that engine drives,
The trucks I drive at work all have Corvette 350's in them. It's crazy when box trucks can hit 120kmh going down the highway, but they can go more than 120kmh, they just start the shimmies at 120kmh. We have 1 truck that doesn't shimmy and I've had it up to 160kmh and you can barely tell it's moving that speed.
Again!! Its 3 am 😂 and you just uploaded, and im watching it rn, that kind of love i have for you !!
So happy to hear it!
This is the exact car that I took my drivers test in. It still sits in my moms garage. I remember distinctly how much ride height that car does NOT have lol.
I know that side road you took behind your campsite and I can not believe you got that Corvette down it. My suburban will forever be scared from that road! 😂 The destination is so worth it though!
I stopped at that gas station a couple weeks ago. Honestly great.
Best around!
@@GrindHardPlumbingCoaround what lol
Keep pumping out the content boys. Will or not im here to stay. Much love from koocanusa bc 🇨🇦. I will never forget meeting you guys testing sendy on the river bottom and sand. 🍻
I went up lightening creek yesterday. The water is no longer over the road. But I was shocked how bad the road was from the flooding. Love that area.
Guys.....your videography skills are off the hook.
Seriously :-)
This is my favorite video so far!!! I'm still claiming I'm the inspiration for you guys getting a corvette!!
I LOVE the plan to put that wonderful LS into a Hummer. There are too many Vette cart builds and this is a plan with legs.
Edwin you really know how to make cool edits! Always amazed at what you are able to put together! Thanks for producing so much good entertainment.
3:16 am here in the Philippines and I've been waiting for your upload lol. Love ur vids guys keep uploading hehe ❤
I hope it was worth the wait
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo it is thanks a lot you've been an inspiration that's why I'm saving right now to buy a welding machine and an compressor I want to build too I have two engines here and planning to make a atv and a kart with it, and I want to make a RUclips video about it too lol.😂😆
Respect Ravi get it!!!
@@nakedmongoose123 definitely 😁
Cover the oil pan and other stuff w some sheet metal n put rock sliders ditch the bumpers for clearance
Def raise it up a few inches
I know y’all are going to use the ls engine for the hummer, but it would be so sick to see a long travel Baja corvette
You found the limit of the Corvette and off croc's, one stone two birds ! Great accomplishment 😂
Solid challenge fellas, well done both of you!
Who knew how good a vette would be off road!
Very keen to see this vett get the grind hard special 😂👌🏾
I'll never get the time back I spent watching him dig snow. The content is either epic or a epic fail.
Love the long shot Bigfoot pov wide angles from the tree line.
I’ll be honest I’m not always 100% with some of the shenanigans but this video is 100% my vibe
Y'all need another wildland fire fighter? Iv Been training for a long time now. And I've taken 40 hour class.
Fyi theres a pontoon boat on facebook market place with a car chassis attached that screams you tube take me!
Have you seen the one with a Semi on it?? I think there's 2 actually, one Kenworth and the other is a Freightliner
@@intentsmodz why would anyone use a freightshaker for a customs toon built lol
@@trevorp5969 i dunno but it's out there. I could be wrong on the model, they might be both Kenworth, one is red and one is blue. Just go to the search bar and type in semi truck pontoon.
So glad you checked under the Vette cause after your visitor I was worried about that same thought...oh and very good content👍
Ah, this was a great way to spend a Friday evening! Cheers!
Nice. Hopefully there's not too much fab to get that in the hummer. Should be just the perfect amount of power for it.
"Its tight, its tight for real" lol reminded me of prom
Years back a friend and I went up a forest service road in late spring. Similar deal, except we didn't have the sense to turn back when we found snow. Got both trucks stuck, had to dig them out with a little camp shovel, in sandals. Fun day.
The great thing about a salvage car is you can blast through those trees and things without worrying about ruining paint or body panels. Looks like a great time!
Good show gentlemen!
I wish I could beat the heck of a C-Vett😊
Keep having fun Brothers!
You guys will never fall off its just always something new and interesting i love it 😂
Thanks! We try to keep it fresh for you guys
with some all season tires this thing would be a beast. depending on how big of brakes it has some small wheels with decent sidewall tires would be really cool.
We need cell phone in the back pocket pushups 😭
Loving the music in this one
That was beautiful. What a terrific adventure
Oh I see it's behind the fence so someone is taking care of it cool❤
As a corvette fan this is hard to watch and cool 😂
