One of these days we need to build an 8x8 from scratch...
Coming soon to a theater near you
Plllllzzzzzzz
8x8 Tesla? Or a 8x8 off-road smart car
something like a power wheels hemtt?
yes yes yes yes definetley do that
You heard it right, this is now our least exciting 6x6. Can not wait to show you whats in store...
I have an idea I don’t know if it will work but add a wheel to the back it will drop down and you can use it to get out of hard parking spots
6x6 tesla!!
Will you not use truck bed paint for the bed?
Hold up, are you working on the tank 🤔
@@Jedi9110YT That won't work, you've been watching too many movies.
I can't wait for the new shop! Just thinking about what was built in the little shop blows my mind. The possibilities are endless with a bigger shop!
We have a few projects like the firetruck that we can't even start on until we get the head room haha
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo i was wondering where that thing went, im exited for yall tho bc just the vibe of a old fire truck carrying your toys around i just fuck with
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo I have a roguefab bender too. For thin wall .093 wall 1.5" I machined plugs with hydraulic cylinder seals and made clamps that hold them on the ends. One has a fitting in it. It's attached to a 3000psi regulator. That's attached to a pressure washer. I bend it with 2000PSI in it. YOU MUST BLEED ALL THE AIR OUT OF IT BEFORE IT GETS PRESSURIZED!!!!!!!!!.It makes absolutely perfect bends. Almost 0% deformation.
I really appreciate the small shop. I feel like it is an integral part of what makes grind hard grind hard, if you get what I mean
@@nathanielscholtens2812 what they are able to do in such a small shop and a pile of scrap metal is truly amazing
I REALLY enjoy listening to Ethan "talking out" his ideas as he fabricates. He is a fabrication Jedi and I ook forward to the new shop build and him being able to enjoy being able to work with room to move around. The video quality and editing is getting better all the time and the little sugues to the drone and other footage nicely compliment the rest of the video. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
That makes my tummy tingle
That thing's turning out really nice. Can't wait to see it all painted up.
It is going to look clean!
I was thinking you could program an Arduino to handle the rear steer. Use a sensor on the steering column to determine the angle of the front wheels and use that as input for what the rear should be doing. You could have a few selectable modes: In phase (aka crab), out of phase (wheels turn opposite direction of front), and manual mode with a joystick.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much work went to the editing, first time I said wow this must took a lot of work, the cinematic shots of the work are great. 💪
Now all it needs is some paint and a trip to the DMV so we can start daily driving it!
Can Not Wait!
Yesss!! Hahaha imagine
Definitely!!!
Flying that drone through those buildings is...premium! 👌👌
In a years time will is going to be so jacked from all the push up😂
Its so true. And will have many broken iPhones
The electronic module for the door dinger is located near the left side of the stereo. It's a little black box with a speaker that can be unplugged and reset. Just remember to plug it back in because it also controls your wipers for some reason.
The wiper timer on a ranger is the best ive ever had
Grind Hard Plumbing killing the fabrication and conceptual content.
Greetings from Vancouver B.C
Keep the builds coming boys, love seeing things coming together.
I love seeing the use of those Harbor Frieght Hercules power tools. My die-hard Snap on worshiping coworkers chuckled when I brought mine into the shop. Then they would one at a time pick one up and try it out, and were surprised by them. I beat the snot out of mine and they keep on ticking! For the price, they're hard to beat. Great progress on the "Red Ranger", and as an old Argo Vanguard owner, I can't WAIT to see what other 6x6 you're hinting at!
Love the content guys. The epic drone shots are premium, love that acro mode flying.
I've seen tire racks use wheel hubs to attach the spares securely to them in a King Of the Hammers race.
They broke one of the their hubs during the race and used one of the hubs as a replacement mid race.
Guy's i So Love The 6×6 Ford Ranger!!! Bigly! What You Have done to it since getting it! You Have Literally improved it 1000 percent! Quality! Masterpiece! All your Frankenstein Works are Amazing!!! Big Fan!!!
19:14 - this is why I love (not just enjoy) watching these guys at work in the GHPC Shop. Ethan & Edwin alone out there is a reminder of Olden (punned) Times, when Ethan on the metal lathe was the most fascinating tooling/machining fab option in the shop. those were pre-Swindling Swindler’s Swindled Swindle days. now, there’s a proper set of GHPC Rascals to rip & rev RPMs, and break stuff for Dad to not only fix/repair, but upgrade to eventual Military Tank specs
Spring’s around the corner. I look forward to dustbowl action & new shop construction. the fellas have overpaid their dues by working on the crusty clapped-out concrete floor, beneath the legendary wood-burning stove.
You should make a joystick for the rear steer. Awesome video, you guys are the best
I loved the first person camera angle of Ethan working, was really cool to watch, keep it up guys!
Spray your penetrating oil of choice in the door latch, open and close around 20 times. Repeat until it stops chiming. That's what we did at the dealer. Would work for a year or so.
excited for saturday mornings just to watch your new projects over coffee
A snow cat scooter should be the next build. Twin tracks on a micro scooter. I would be elated to see that!
Ethan, I loved your work on "That 70's Show". 😉
This truck just fits Ethan personality so well
"The Ranger is a huge truck" is something I never thought I would here about a mini truck lol
So glad you finished this, this build is what brought me to your channel. The rear bumper looks perfect with the red and amber lights, impressive planning on that.
LOVE this build and can't wait for it to have some "premium" paint on it.
Ethan, your welding and fab skills have steadily improved over the years! Kudos!
The premium swindler counter is going nuts on this video
Amazing build !!!!....... every single video you guys always blow me away.....no matter what your working on !!!....keep up the excellent content !!.... drone shots are insane as we) !!
Can't wait for the new shop build
It is so far past due
Outstanding, big fun, play through.
Once again it is great to see young guys doing motorsports stuff at a very top level of skill. Keep up the great work and content, and I'll keep watching.
I really love that truck you guys did an amazing job Can't wait to see the new paint job
Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
Looks super cool absolutely love what you done with the rack & 6 wheel drive the way you can make the truck walk is marvellous have a great weekend 👊 💨 amazing content
I'm sure this is buried below.... But Monty Python would be proud of 16:16 “Tis’ but a scratch!” LOL! Great vid, Plumbers!
The details on this are excellent. The little Grind Hard plates at the rear too.
Love the FPV drone shots. I do lots of Freestyle myself so I Love those shots. Great stuff guys as always.
I worked in a muffler and speed shop for a while, welding up replacements exhausts and replacing cats. I always loved the challenge of assembling all those bends, it was fun to watch you work and struggle on the roll bar. : )
Love your work guys, free hand roll bar action 👏👌
I love what you guys do. That truck looks awesome to me. Your skills are way up there. I can’t wait to her all painted up.👍👍🇨🇦
Every time I go to put my phone in my back pocket I think about you guys
It looks amazing!
Love your videos and watching u rebuild them
That's an excellent design and fabrication.
Can’t wait to see some shop build videos!
This is awesome keep up the great work!
That looks amazing 😍
Great job fellas .
Yes been waiting for this one . Smart keep ‘‘em keen
Great work again!
The in shop videos are the best hands down
Yaaaaasssss new shop coming soon hopefully!!!! Def gotta do a full shop build btw!
I was like “dammit man, we came here for hexagons!”. Ethan always comes through for us.
Oh man! A bigger shop. 😀😀😀 you guys make the coolest insane creations out of your small shop I can can't imagine what you could build in a bigger shop. 😃😃😃😃😃
Now I’m more convinced that ethan is the descendant of the legendary dwarf race who is master in craft 😂😂😂😂
You might be right!
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo muahaha premium!
This is indeed my favourite Project
I wish I had a quarter of the talent you guys have. Amazing work again fellas!
I'd be happy with the talent in Ethans pinky. 🤣
that ranger looks amazing with that flatbed and roll bar
I love your work and the different things you make 👍😀
Love the videos!!! Watching from Canada 🇨🇦 keep up the good work boys
Thanks!
There are some converted Ford 9-in differentials used on 6x6 trucks.. I wouldn't be surprised if you were going to do it yourself... It would also make a good how-to video for anyone else interested in doing one.
I love the builds on this channel but I'm envious of the winter up there. We haven't had a proper winter, here in Belgium, for years.
Still cant wait for the fire truck build😍
She's looking good!
I love this rig u guys r the craziest guys I know keep on keeping on goodvibes
Really nice videos you guys post :D Love the channel!
Thanks!
Every time Ethan talks about making hexagons I think about CPG greys video Hexagons are the Bestagons.
can't wait to see what you can do in a bigger shop
Finally a shop update! :)
U guys are aswome everything u guys do is crazy sick buddy keep them coming
Your fab work it awesome you make everything look so easy
All it needs now is a spot on each side for a dirt bike to mount too. Great video BTW
I appreciate the amber turn signals! Other than that, I would've space the spare tires apart so I could still see a LITTLE something out the back window. That, and I would've filmed at 30fps instead of 24.
put it on 5 ton axles, as they are also 6x6 so the diffs should also have a pass through for the rearmost axle and they'll be lockable and way more beefy
A locker for the front axle should be no problem. I wonder how like “cutting brakes” would work. Basically a pair of bake levers for left and right side so you can stop the side with less traction from spinning and force the side with more traction to turn.
Sneaky hexagons, man I love it 😂
I can already tell it’s gonna be an awesome video
happy to hear it
Maturing is realizing, on these big jobs, you'll have that.
that's a really nice job looks very professional. finishes the truck of,
I feel like you should integrate your exhaust into the headache rack
I specifically buy button up mechanics shirts so that my phone is safe and also handy to get. Would love to buy a grindhard mechanics shirt!
this is amazing!
I need a flat bed made for my ram, hahaha like the style and lights setup so far
Affordable Offroad really does make a badass bumper for these. Source: I have one
Nice truck guys
I would recommend some light weight TIG welding gloves just to block the UV exposure, I once got a sun burn on my forearms and realized it was from welding a custom Recaro seat mount in short sleeves the day before lol skin cancer is real and worth avoiding later in life
Jackstand Jimmy made that saying popular. When you hear it, you think of him, don't lie. Shoulda gave him some credit.
Take this thing wheeling!
you should make a swinging numbe plate on the back in between the grind hars plates
That Ranger is the coolest looking rig it's gonna look fantastic painted that front bumper color great choice
Also, you guys def need a big heat exchanger stove in the new shop 😍
That's 6x6 is so badass That bed needs a nice coat of red paint
GHPC Love! Stay warm yall!
We will try haha
That ranger is awesome 👌 Looks trippy crab walking
True haha
You and b is for build should collaborate. That pov head cam is a game changer.
You should add pull out ramps for the general and other toys. They could lay flat on the current bed and then add another steel plate on top of that to make your new bed. That way they can be stored when not in use.
Great Job
On the Cleetus McFarland channel, Jackstand Jimmy (James) often says "You'll have that on them bigger jobs" when things go sideways.
