Man, let me tell you what...if my kids turn out to be like you, I have done a good job as a parent, calm collected and articulated, congrats to your mom....
@@XLostGamer Rich Rebuilds is doing the V8 Tesla. Superfastmatt is putting a Tesla drivtrain into an old Jag, and there's another channel making a Tesla powered Chevy square body (C10?) For SEMA.
I just found this channel, and was instantly hooked by "My mom makes really good bread" So heartwarming. I'm wanting to do a Jeep EV build with an old CJ2A flat fender frame/tub so this is really helpful. Thank you!

Heyyyy, just wanted to let you know that your garage door is missing something. The top of your automatic door needs a strut, or your opener is going to pull that door right in half and it WILL fall on your truck. Especially if the torsion spring breaks and you don't realize it. I know it's unrelated to the video, but it's what I do for a living. LOL
@@yourmomlmao9638 ORRRRRRR, he can go get himself a Chamberlain or Genie residential jackshaft opener, and get the motor and rail out from the garage altogether. Then he doesn't need a strut cuz the opener clamps right onto the spring tube 👍🏻. Things are fantastic machines
My garage ceilings are 11+ft high. My doors are standard. When we moved in, I noticed my front garage wall flexing when operating it.... There was no strut for a double door, with motor dropped down about 4ft! don't know how it ever passed inspection.
51 seconds in and I love this channel already, knows what he is talking about, no weird over the top camera or thumbnail crap, no yelling, isn't emotionless, and isn't EATING while whispering thinking it sounds either sexy or like it'll make your voice deeper, just clean good calm video about something interesting
I doubt that this will make it through the thousands of comments, but I would like to sincerely thank you for your quality content. You give us the feeling of being in your garage with you discovering those awesome man toys as with a buddy. I'm really happy this channel is successful!
@lilshitpost I think it's because I used an introducing prologue like popular click-baits for my comment. Next time I'll start by saying "most will ignore my comment, but the ones that care about starving kids in Africa will give a like". That's what triggers the algorithm!

Awesome project. If I have to say one thing it is do not underestimate the power of gearing. All these current manufacturers are not using transmissions. But what they are failing to do is create efficiency under loads or trailering. They can boast efficiency only with one person under a light demand. Sure they have large torque numbers, but they do not calculate the energy required to move the heavy loads. Anyways, very cool. I will be following.
Love that some of these creators have started doing really in-depth and cool stuff like this. Reminds me of the days when we had mini-series on TV; Way better than a long-winded movie, more substantial than cramming everything into a 10-13 minutes video. I really appreciate how some people help elevate a platform. Hard to think, it was once a place with "Charlie bit my finger", "Charlie goes to Candy Mountain", "Salad Fingers" (all great for their time), then just terrible prank videos, mindless "comedy" and throwing things off buildings with no purpose. ETCG was one of the first legitimate "how to" channels I came across, then it led to The King of Random (back when it was just Grant, I think that's how I ended up finding JRE's channel) and I'd joke that one day we'd see "RUclips University" be an accredited school--Now I think it's a possibility (haha). Keep it up. Great work out there.
This is one of the coolest EV conversions! Any worries that the portals and differentials won't be able to live long with all that torque? Any thoughts on swapping the shocks to something that can go fast through the desert?
Split the power system into two motors and remove the drive shaft. Would allow more adaptive traction control I think, or any differential setup would burn up trying to compete with it.
Come to think of it, long stroke shocks and maybe wings(?) for ripping across the done tops. But for endurance it would probably fail to this guys rig because drivers would try to burn out the power system. Back to the drawing board. Haha
So these military vehicles shocks and under carriage moving parts were meant to take blows and force from explosive, not making them bullet proof or bomb proof though they were made thick and heavy, enough to take a beating…. Increased torque should not have an immediate impact
I know that someone has probably said this before. I'm a new viewer, but man, your voice is like listening to a really good robot voice. Just enough changes in inflection but very even and well annunciated. I don't say that to insult. I'd admit it took me by surprise by just how even your voice it but I'm here for it, haha.
I’m so sold on electric vehicles now. I was skeptical when they first hit the market but they’ve come such a long way and prices are slowly getting better
@@vanderumd11 in Australia there’s a lot of houses that run off grid. My cousin, her partner and 2 kids lives on a big rural property and they are 100% off grid, gas bottles and also have rainwater tanks plus get tank water delivered. They have a big solar system and 4x tesla power wall batteries with a backup generator if ever needed. In the last 18 months they’ve only had to use the generator for 2 days when we had a solid week of rain during winter. It’s been a pretty good investment so far, their previous house’s elec bill used to be $2800 annually.
@@Chrissmills They're far too expensive to be sustainable. I'm sick of my tax money going to subsidize that clown, Elon's, anti-consumer, anti-repair, anti-competition endeavors. 4 Tesla walls is like $40 THOUSAND dollars, then add another $20-30 THOUSAND for solar panels and install. LOL. You'd never be able to justify that cost. It would take you like 40-50 years to recoup that cost, and at that point it's needed to be replaced 3-4 times. LOL. Electric power storage has a LONG ways to go before it's even close to replacing grid power and ICE vehicles. And his cars are disgusting. They can't be repaired by 3rd parties, and since Tesla is more focused on making more new cars than supporting the ones that are already on the road, insurance companies total them out because they're too expensive to fix. Tesla doesn't have the service infrastructure to support the repair of their cars in a timely manner, and they don't allow 3rd party repairs, and they're not producing hardly any spare parts, insurance companies don't want to pay for rental cars for 6-9 weeks, so they total them out. Long before they have met the point of being more green than a traditional ICE vehicle. Since Tesla basically disables every feature (like supercharging and autopilot) after an accident, there is no market in salvage Teslas besides people who do it as a labor of love. When a Tesla gets in an accident that would cost $3500 to fix in any other car, it can cost 5-7x as much, because of the aforementioned reasons, so it gets totaled. Ever use a cellphone or a laptop? How long do those batteries last? 2 years, and they don't undergo anywhere near the current draw that EV batteries undergo. Tesla makes up for it with electronics that limit current draw, and now batteries in parallel, but the packs still only lady about 7 years. So just as the car is reaching the point that the mining of the heavy metals for the battery is offset by the reduction in emissions, you need a new battery. Add in the fact that Tesla lies about being open source, lies about producing cars (semi, new Roadster, and truck are all vaporware), and is in bed with the CCP, and you have one of the most deplorable corporations on planet earth. Amy company that gets rich of of government subsidies, funded by the tax payer, and off of the guise that they're doing it to save the planet, should not be trusted.
@@littlejackalo5326 good to see someone with sense, the only thing I don't agree with is with how you say that batteries only last 7 years, they can last much longer at least 10.
Love this series! I have to point out though when you lifted the motor you had the shackle side loaded. Obviously this is a small load but in rigging one of the most basic and important rules is to never side load a shackle. Still videos are great!
Hey Zack, You're doing awesome work there, I can't wait to see all your coming videos about this project particularly. But, are you going to install all that new equipment in the truck without cleaning and repainting the engine area at least?
absolutely love this build series zack. my e36 has about 300k miles and is very tired. love the car and don't plan on getting rid of it. an electric conversion is definitely on the table in the future.
I love listening to you explain stuff. I already understand the vast majority of what you're doing, but your explanations are always better than I would do. Thank you for taking the time to do this! I was thinking exactly what your mom said about the difficulty of recording what you're doing. I'm thinking of putting a similar setup in my 1996 freightliner. I would like to add a small generator to boost my range, but your setup is very impressive. Thanks again!
Interesting to see how you are going about this, pretty cool. I own a 95 hummer. Please don’t destroy removed parts- many folks need them, including the bad 6.2. Couple things I wonder about for the future.- maybe you are not aware or just haven’t addressed it yet? 1. The differentials are AMC 20, and you should have the factory torsen diffential. I made the MISTAKE of making mine selectable 2wd/4wd. The added load to just one diff is really hard on these differentials, and wears them out much quicker even under stock power plant use. Also the handling is very different (worse) than original full time 4wd. 2. Strength. The AMC 20 is no where near the strength of most pickup units. Some of the hummers I helped modify for more power eat differentials about every 10,000 miles. You will be supplying similar, if not more power than those ones. Start looking into the aftermarket ford 9” units. You will loose the torsen advantage of brake throttle manipulation- so locking units are to be considered. Portal axles (aka geared hubs as called by AM General). Your hmmwv should have the 10,000 lbs units in them. This dictates the cv axle (aka half shaft) size is also the 10k you will probably need to go to the stronger ones in the 12,000 lbs rating. The half shafts are the known weak link and many of us owners learned to keep the weaker bearing cage of the 10k units because the shaft is a couple hundred dollars, diy repair parts maybe $100 each. If you make it stronger- you will break the geared hubs. My suggestion is keep what you have, carry spare half shafts. One fits each rear, 2 different units for the front. Good luck!
I can't wait to see if those half shafts can take the kind of load the new power system will bring to the table- I'd carry some of those in the off road bag if I was you. (I have a 2001 H1 and have snapped a few of them when torque got crazy.) Love this series cause if it works out. I'm doing it.
You are a great (and not hyper) presenter. This is a huge job. I’ll be following every step. I am really interested in how you will handle the cooling- and also what the range will be. I can’t think it will be very good, honestly.
Excellent job young man.its incredible how this electric drive .truly reflects how so ancient and obsolete combustion engines are.also I thought it cool how the transfer case still uses a mechanical are to awitch it instead of a selinoid.
Very well said, but unfortunately the big corporations own and run everything including our puppet politicians and the entire system and $ profit is all they care about
Damn excited to see the finished product. Those numbers sound brilliant for 4wd-ing. Very happy to watch the process though, as the journey is often the most important part of any story.
Jerry would literally nail playing the hitman character lol. But damn this project got me hooked on to this channel now ...cant wait for the next part.
3:47 I love how he repeatedly refers to himself as Jerry, even though this is obviously not his real name (which is Zack btw for those of you who are misinformed ;)
@@Distinctive1 it's a term used to describe making/repairing things. Jerry rigging. It's actually jury rigging but Jerry rigging became popular I think just as a pun
2:40 Just to be splitting hairs. This motor is an advanced DC motor with a motor inverter to direct the current directionally through the three motor coil systems. The motor inverter has complete control over the power level, rotation speed and rotation direction. But in a sense the current does change direction in the motor coils so that is an AC model.
I love that you're subtly bringing out the truth that EV:s aren't going to be more difficult than what we have. It's just that way now, because people aren't used to them. Probably going to be good for "self reliance", going forward. Shouldn't let manufacturers lock people out of software either.
ICE cars are the epitome of bloated engineering. Every time something needed changing one more thing was added. Until you end up with what we have now. Something so complicated and fragile that it takes mechanics with special equipment to find out what's wrong and fix it. I can't wait to get an EV.
EVs are awesome in every way, so much new potential. Teslas engineering philosophy is nothing short of incredible, the did like 11 revisions to the heat pump just last year while other manufacturers would rather use the same exact component for an entire decade. The one thing Tesla is missing from being the dream car manufacturer is customer focus. Customer service, repairability, no locked down diagnostics. They got the engineering on point, but their politics are still infuriating.
@@drkastenbrot I was looking at EverydayAstronaut's interview with Elon at the Boca Chica Launch site and he made good points about engineering. Like don't optimize things which shouldn't exist in the design to begin with. He attributed the tendency to the educational system, people aren't taught to say an assignment is dumb or something should just be discarded from the design. The examples were from Tesla's designs.
@@downstream0114 Im an embedded engineer and I like to quickly move through companies to see how they all operate inside. One thing I noticed in many of the older companies (as opposed to fresh startups) is that the design process was very linear: You would solve one problem at a time until it all works. You never get to take steps back and look at the thing as a whole, and often enough the result would work as designed but be far from optimal. Tesla and SpaceX seem to completely do away with this process and instead ALWAYS look at the whole thing. Watch Munroe Live on RUclips and you quickly notice how teslas parts all look like it was all designed in one go, it all fits perfectly together with a level of integration unseen before. All by taking a different philosophy and doing whatever makes the most sense on the long run.
Jerry when using the C shaped connector with you hoist always have the flat “pin” area facing down and the horse shoe facing down as it greatly increases the lifting capacity and may save a project in the future! Doubt your anywhere near capacity but would hate to see a catastrophic failure in the future. The way you used them cuts capacity in half.
Well done 47. You’ve solved the issue of the enemy hearing an engine in the distance.

This is one of the coolest EV conversions! Any worries that the portals and differentials won't be able to live long with all that torque? Any thoughts on swapping the shocks to something that can go fast through the desert?
Split the power system into two motors and remove the drive shaft. Would allow more adaptive traction control I think, or any differential setup would burn up trying to compete with it.
Come to think of it, long stroke shocks and maybe wings(?) for ripping across the done tops.
But for endurance it would probably fail to this guys rig because drivers would try to burn out the power system. Back to the drawing board. Haha
So these military vehicles shocks and under carriage moving parts were meant to take blows and force from explosive, not making them bullet proof or bomb proof though they were made thick and heavy, enough to take a beating…. Increased torque should not have an immediate impact
Me and my dad are watching the process of this and it’s awesome! Good job jerry
I know that someone has probably said this before. I'm a new viewer, but man, your voice is like listening to a really good robot voice. Just enough changes in inflection but very even and well annunciated. I don't say that to insult. I'd admit it took me by surprise by just how even your voice it but I'm here for it, haha.
My favorite series on the YT at the moment! 🤩 Can't wait for next parts!!
This is so exciting! I've always dreamed of battery technology making it this far.
I’m so sold on electric vehicles now. I was skeptical when they first hit the market but they’ve come such a long way and prices are slowly getting better
Oh yea. They are going to be great but we need to get full solar homes and vehicles. The problem is storage of power and 1000year
@@vanderumd11 in Australia there’s a lot of houses that run off grid. My cousin, her partner and 2 kids lives on a big rural property and they are 100% off grid, gas bottles and also have rainwater tanks plus get tank water delivered. They have a big solar system and 4x tesla power wall batteries with a backup generator if ever needed. In the last 18 months they’ve only had to use the generator for 2 days when we had a solid week of rain during winter. It’s been a pretty good investment so far, their previous house’s elec bill used to be $2800 annually.
@@Chrissmills They're far too expensive to be sustainable. I'm sick of my tax money going to subsidize that clown, Elon's, anti-consumer, anti-repair, anti-competition endeavors. 4 Tesla walls is like $40 THOUSAND dollars, then add another $20-30 THOUSAND for solar panels and install. LOL. You'd never be able to justify that cost. It would take you like 40-50 years to recoup that cost, and at that point it's needed to be replaced 3-4 times. LOL. Electric power storage has a LONG ways to go before it's even close to replacing grid power and ICE vehicles. And his cars are disgusting. They can't be repaired by 3rd parties, and since Tesla is more focused on making more new cars than supporting the ones that are already on the road, insurance companies total them out because they're too expensive to fix. Tesla doesn't have the service infrastructure to support the repair of their cars in a timely manner, and they don't allow 3rd party repairs, and they're not producing hardly any spare parts, insurance companies don't want to pay for rental cars for 6-9 weeks, so they total them out. Long before they have met the point of being more green than a traditional ICE vehicle. Since Tesla basically disables every feature (like supercharging and autopilot) after an accident, there is no market in salvage Teslas besides people who do it as a labor of love. When a Tesla gets in an accident that would cost $3500 to fix in any other car, it can cost 5-7x as much, because of the aforementioned reasons, so it gets totaled. Ever use a cellphone or a laptop? How long do those batteries last? 2 years, and they don't undergo anywhere near the current draw that EV batteries undergo. Tesla makes up for it with electronics that limit current draw, and now batteries in parallel, but the packs still only lady about 7 years. So just as the car is reaching the point that the mining of the heavy metals for the battery is offset by the reduction in emissions, you need a new battery. Add in the fact that Tesla lies about being open source, lies about producing cars (semi, new Roadster, and truck are all vaporware), and is in bed with the CCP, and you have one of the most deplorable corporations on planet earth. Amy company that gets rich of of government subsidies, funded by the tax payer, and off of the guise that they're doing it to save the planet, should not be trusted.
@@littlejackalo5326 good to see someone with sense, the only thing I don't agree with is with how you say that batteries only last 7 years, they can last much longer at least 10.

Love this series! I have to point out though when you lifted the motor you had the shackle side loaded. Obviously this is a small load but in rigging one of the most basic and important rules is to never side load a shackle. Still videos are great!
Thanks for that!
Jerry now just has to say "I don't need a fossil engine I got family " and we might just see a fast and furious 10 with Jerry in his EV
You do know his name is Zack and not Jerry right?
*fossil fuel engine
@@charlie_mk7.5 I know but more people call him as jerry
Hey Zack,
You're doing awesome work there, I can't wait to see all your coming videos about this project particularly.
But, are you going to install all that new equipment in the truck without cleaning and repainting the engine area at least?
His name's Zack
It's called mock up.
zack: **says some stuff way out of my cerebral capacity**
zacks mom: smol bred
Lol
I’d love to see ElectroBoom shock the crap out of himself helping you hook it up
Love to see Jery rig everything and electro boom do a skit together. So he can explain what not to do
With that many amps it's less shocking, more frying/melting.
Yes part 3!!!
Can't hold my excitement for every next part.
Pathetic
absolutely love this build series zack. my e36 has about 300k miles and is very tired. love the car and don't plan on getting rid of it. an electric conversion is definitely on the table in the future.
"I can move them around by hand" -Zach
Meanwhile Zach is just a little bit ripped
I love listening to you explain stuff. I already understand the vast majority of what you're doing, but your explanations are always better than I would do. Thank you for taking the time to do this! I was thinking exactly what your mom said about the difficulty of recording what you're doing. I'm thinking of putting a similar setup in my 1996 freightliner. I would like to add a small generator to boost my range, but your setup is very impressive. Thanks again!
You’re really a fun, intelligent and hardworking guy Zack! Keep it up 🙌
Fucksaik. Hi can we be fends
Interesting to see how you are going about this, pretty cool. I own a 95 hummer.
Please don’t destroy removed parts- many folks need them, including the bad 6.2.
Couple things I wonder about for the future.- maybe you are not aware or just haven’t addressed it yet?
1. The differentials are AMC 20, and you should have the factory torsen diffential.
I made the MISTAKE of making mine selectable 2wd/4wd. The added load to just one diff is really hard on these differentials, and wears them out much quicker even under stock power plant use. Also the handling is very different (worse) than original full time 4wd.
2. Strength. The AMC 20 is no where near the strength of most pickup units. Some of the hummers I helped modify for more power eat differentials about every 10,000 miles. You will be supplying similar, if not more power than those ones. Start looking into the aftermarket ford 9” units. You will loose the torsen advantage of brake throttle manipulation- so locking units are to be considered.
Portal axles (aka geared hubs as called by AM General). Your hmmwv should have the 10,000 lbs units in them. This dictates the cv axle (aka half shaft) size is also the 10k you will probably need to go to the stronger ones in the 12,000 lbs rating. The half shafts are the known weak link and many of us owners learned to keep the weaker bearing cage of the 10k units because the shaft is a couple hundred dollars, diy repair parts maybe $100 each. If you make it stronger- you will break the geared hubs. My suggestion is keep what you have, carry spare half shafts. One fits each rear, 2 different units for the front.
Good luck!
Thanks for the tips! You know what you're talking about.
Oh btw-
Hmmwv in the tracks of abrams tanks is myth. Tank is 12’ wide...
I expect him to put it in the car. I'm impressed great project, Hope it's finished soon. I want to get on the car and offroad.
I appreciate your patience level on recording video with one hand holding camera and on other side speaking
I can't wait to see if those half shafts can take the kind of load the new power system will bring to the table- I'd carry some of those in the off road bag if I was you. (I have a 2001 H1 and have snapped a few of them when torque got crazy.) Love this series cause if it works out. I'm doing it.
Those things are gonna snap right away. No way they'll hold up
@@andrewk8636 Bet he's going to get some carbon fiber ones made. That be a pretty cool episode for this series.
You are a great (and not hyper) presenter. This is a huge job. I’ll be following every step. I am really interested in how you will handle the cooling- and also what the range will be. I can’t think it will be very good, honestly.
He finally did a video on that! Check out his most recent update on this
This series is so damn good so far. Really like that you continuing to branch out with projects and videos well beyond phones.
cool, great build. very knowledgeable. definitely want to see it to the end. it would be nice to get a run down on the cost to get this done.
so hyped for this project, looks like you're having fun!
Zack, when you finish this you should write a book called "How to convert your old car into electric 101"
Jerry you really need to make a list of conversion kits to the H1 and Humvee so if anyone wants to convert there's they can just look you up
not hear how sweetly the little🍲🥘🍳🥚🥙🌯🌮
Excellent job young man.its incredible how this electric drive .truly reflects how so ancient and obsolete combustion engines are.also I thought it cool how the transfer case still uses a mechanical are to awitch it instead of a selinoid.
Very well said, but unfortunately the big corporations own and run everything including our puppet politicians and the entire system and $ profit is all they care about
Damn excited to see the finished product. Those numbers sound brilliant for 4wd-ing. Very happy to watch the process though, as the journey is often the most important part of any story.
Jerry would literally nail playing the hitman character lol. But damn this project got me hooked on to this channel now ...cant wait for the next part.
3:47 I love how he repeatedly refers to himself as Jerry, even though this is obviously not his real name (which is Zack btw for those of you who are misinformed ;)
Много е готин Зак!
I know his name is Zack but never noticed he refers himself as Jerry lol. That's so cool. Thanks for pointing that out
I believe he just recently began doing so, but I may be wrong. I know I heard him do it in the last Hummer video as well
Why is his yt name jerry rig everything?
@@Distinctive1 it's a term used to describe making/repairing things. Jerry rigging. It's actually jury rigging but Jerry rigging became popular I think just as a pun
Well done, sir!
First time on this channel, not even 3 minutes in and I can tell with all certainty that, THIS GUY IS A GENIUS!😮
Hello sir, please talk to me
You spelled "RichAF" wrong
Where are you from?
Can I make friendship?
Super duper excited about this 😀
Everyone has a little Engineer hidden inside somewhere
So it feels great to see your videos 😊
Jerry: "In front of us today we have a pho..."
Everyone: "No! Humvee!"
Not me I read the title 😏
Congratulations to you and your wife. Sending positive vibes to you guys for a smooth delivery and a healthy baby!
2:40 Just to be splitting hairs. This motor is an advanced DC motor with a motor inverter to direct the current directionally through the three motor coil systems. The motor inverter has complete control over the power level, rotation speed and rotation direction. But in a sense the current does change direction in the motor coils so that is an AC model.
I feel like Zach's speech is permanently at around x.75
I just increased the speed and it fixed the problem..

@@hacxer8424 I could care less about the politics, I just respect and admire these two guys who are passionate about this stuff 🤷
@@hacxer8424 u mad?
@@hacxer8424 you really took Car building and made it political?
I'm down
I love that you're subtly bringing out the truth that EV:s aren't going to be more difficult than what we have. It's just that way now, because people aren't used to them. Probably going to be good for "self reliance", going forward. Shouldn't let manufacturers lock people out of software either.
ICE cars are the epitome of bloated engineering. Every time something needed changing one more thing was added. Until you end up with what we have now. Something so complicated and fragile that it takes mechanics with special equipment to find out what's wrong and fix it. I can't wait to get an EV.
EVs are awesome in every way, so much new potential. Teslas engineering philosophy is nothing short of incredible, the did like 11 revisions to the heat pump just last year while other manufacturers would rather use the same exact component for an entire decade.
The one thing Tesla is missing from being the dream car manufacturer is customer focus. Customer service, repairability, no locked down diagnostics. They got the engineering on point, but their politics are still infuriating.
@@drkastenbrot I was looking at EverydayAstronaut's interview with Elon at the Boca Chica Launch site and he made good points about engineering. Like don't optimize things which shouldn't exist in the design to begin with. He attributed the tendency to the educational system, people aren't taught to say an assignment is dumb or something should just be discarded from the design. The examples were from Tesla's designs.
@@downstream0114 Im an embedded engineer and I like to quickly move through companies to see how they all operate inside. One thing I noticed in many of the older companies (as opposed to fresh startups) is that the design process was very linear: You would solve one problem at a time until it all works. You never get to take steps back and look at the thing as a whole, and often enough the result would work as designed but be far from optimal. Tesla and SpaceX seem to completely do away with this process and instead ALWAYS look at the whole thing. Watch Munroe Live on RUclips and you quickly notice how teslas parts all look like it was all designed in one go, it all fits perfectly together with a level of integration unseen before. All by taking a different philosophy and doing whatever makes the most sense on the long run.
Jerry when using the C shaped connector with you hoist always have the flat “pin” area facing down and the horse shoe facing down as it greatly increases the lifting capacity and may save a project in the future! Doubt your anywhere near capacity but would hate to see a catastrophic failure in the future. The way you used them cuts capacity in half.
This.
Man this is a fantastic idea, first video I've seen about this. Absolutely very impressed.
This is god tier YT content my man, keep up the great work! Cannot wait to see this thing shred those giant tires! 😂🙌
