I know I said thank you guys a couple times in the video, but just like every time we invest in something big, just know it’s you guys who make it happen for us. Thank you all so much, can’t wait to put some serious miles on this ABSOLUTE UNIT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a trucker myself. Minimize the idle of the main engine and use the generator as much as possible. Saves fuel and keeps the def system clean. Shouldnt have any issues.
I think he mentioned the inverter just to point out that he won't need the generator during the drives for the guests in the back... If not, good thing to know!
@@aV-jx5zj Staring to see the same issues. dd15 is complete junk, the second warranty is up you're shooting 2 gallons a day out the blowby tube. There's a reason you can buy them sub $20,000 with half a million on em.
Yeah detroits hate to idle even if you use the optimized idle setting. You'll get a dpf related code and sometimed even get derated almost every time you let idle for too long. Not so much def issues as particulate filter issues... but just do you research and know what you have. I hope cleet gets it professionally deleted so he doesn't run into issues. Better yet get a glider kit with a c16 and Eaton 18 speed installed lol
If you put the Engine Brake on Setting 1 then set your cruise control on a downhill, the truck will automatically change the Engine Brake settings to keep the truck at said cruise control speed downhill! Nice rig!
When I first saw Cleetus he was shoving whistles up exhaust pipes for laughs. Today he was pulling a monster truck in his own custom made motorhome on his very own race track! Its been a blast sharing this journey dude.
like we knew he was gonna blow up back then but we didnt expect this kinda awesome content , having his own track , plenty of race cars , huge house with a fricken pond , own shop , own events and broadcasting. hes come far since the days of duck calls and smashing windows with sparkulators pretty sure he was engaged or possibly married to Kayla as well back then. what an amazing 4/5 years
You don’t depending on how it gets registered. But here is the catch to that as puting as not for hire rv… get the right dot officer and he know you are useing it to make money and can prove they will mail you to the wall and you will wish you just registered it and got a dot #
I think the truck’s name should be “Snowman”. It’s a Semi and it’s white. This being inspired by Cledus aka “Snowman” the semi driver from Smokey and the Bandit.
The idea of being able to turn off the rumble strip warning is for when you're on a tight road, like a construction zone. You don't want that thing going off constantly.
Cleetur I work on these things all the time just going to give you some stuff to keep an eye on the whole air brake system plastic lines leak all the time so make sure you listen every once in a while to make sure there isn’t a leak or just check air gauge when braking and make sure it’s not dropping fast also those onan generators will throw a fit if you don’t run them every other week just run it for an hour or so even if your not using it and keep an eye on turbo knock sensor wiring they burn up sometimes and make sure def is full because those truck flip out if you get it low and make sure transmission get serviced on the dates because those transmissions are under stress a lot and do not like having dirty fluid in them but other then that freightliner did good on these and I love it brother I love seeing the progression of you’re ever driving through Vegas and need a service done on anything for that truck stop by our shop precision aerial services and we will take care you and maybe even rip some burnouts in our forklift for ya love the channel cleet
U forgot the most important and #1 failure and main reason they are in the dealership every other week the DPF in these are horrible i was a Service Advisor for Stoops Freightliner in Indy and out of 80 trks a day thru the bay atleast 65% were CEL for DPF bein clogged needing a forced regen i worked on trks for over 10yrs
Also, if you get a check engine light for the NOX sensor itll derate you to 55 mph. You got about 500 miles before it derates you down to 5 mph. Watch out going under bridges sometimes when you have the cruise control on, it will do some engine braking and apply the brakes for a couple of seconds. Collision alert can go off sometimes when the truck is angle straight at a reflectors. Last, a way to disable the lane detection warning system is unplug it, its behind the plastic box on the inside windshield.
I think in my experience i worked for a guy that owned 50 Volvo trks n never had any issues with the DPF that a normal not forced regen didnt fix Volvo i think has the DPF shit in the bag just never hear of crazy issues now this could be that the owner took extremely good care of the trks and the drivers did too for the most part which helps a ton
Cleet you might not see this but about 4 or 5 years ago I was reading a motortrend magazine and I saw a guy drifting a corvette that looked just like you. I sent you the picture like “is this you?” And you replied with “nah I wish it was me lol”. Look at you now man, look at the empire you’ve built. I’ve never been more happy to see the progress of a hardworking freedom man. Congratulations on everything. Your biggest fan.
@@MylesZ06 they deleted my other comment where I called him a whore. I simply said why would I lie about something so trivial? I DM’d him years ago when he was still garret with 1320 video and I’m happy to see the progress he’s made. I’ll never understand people are so negative that they just can’t move on and not comment. I’m a huge cleetus fan and I don’t see a problem with that.
I just get such a kick out of seeing Cleetus getting things like this. So hard to explain, but I had such a huge grin watching Cleetus show this thing off to us.
@@Oldhotdogwater Editing is easy and fun. Plus you're only seating in a chair. Construction worker, oilfield worker out in the freezing cold now that is tough. There's nothing wrong with being grateful. Plus it comes back around. Look at Mr. Beast
Cleetus just a tip from a 15 year OTR driver and lover of your channel. When adjusting the air ride seat set it to where you can just slide your hand between the gap in between your thigh and calf behind your knee. Too much or too little air will kill your back on LONG drives.
@@edwardanderson1562 Right, one would hope that the refrigerator wouldn't need to be replaced. However, the vibration and temperatures in an RV can cause refrigerators in this application to fail sooner than they would in a home.
Cleeter try this! I drive a 2019. Set the cruise and hold accel. And it has way more power to pass and climb hills than the gas pedal. Don't know why but it's crazy. Try it.
From Monica to the big white Willy. You can use the engine brake in traffic on high it is great for slowing you down fast. Walmart even has pans for that stove top, just not aluminum if a magnet sticks to it it should work. You can also put a 1/8 piece of steel on it and it will heat up any pan you put on the steel plate then. Renegade makes some of the best rigs. Big White Freightliner home.
It’s just amazing to me that as a diesel technician I am required to have a CDL to be able to road test trucks I repair but you don’t have to have a CDL to drive this “RV” across country with no experience or training. On another note I’m a certified Detroit and Freightliner technician so if you ever have any questions or problems after hours when the dealers closed message me.
@@isaacrecord6162 old? hell, look at some of the 500 pound professional drivers that crawl out of these rigs at the fuel stations! How do they get DOT medical cards???
THEY DO NEED A CLASS A CDL JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH SOMEYHING DOESENT MAKE IT LEGAL AND IT STARTS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL NOT EVEN BY STATE .HAULING MERCH , WINNING PRIZE MONEY ,EVEN JUST WRITING OFF THE COST ALL MAKE IT COMMERCIAL
It's the money transfer 🖊💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸 them wires were smoking just like the dd16 hopefully it has overhead avoidance branches through the roof may appear larger than out the window
Your doing it the correct way, no used Truck . Your new rig is great top of the line. From insurance to dealer and manufacturer warranty is the way to go. Plus you do you're own custom stuff and naming of course.
@@brandonheckathorn3270 the coolant lines are not from detroit but from the carrier manufacturer, I have a western star and its way different than the DD15 in say a Cascadia
I'm so jealous lol I can't even afford a daily driver let alone a driftcarid prefer to have a C6 but a C5 would be fine with me I just want to drift lol just bought a Logitech G920 steering wheel and pedals just need a handbrake attachment but that will only work on the computer unless I take apart the steering wheel and solder handbrake wires to the button board inside the wheel and I'll do that when the 1 year warranty ends but I also need the shifter which is another 60$ which I was going to buy it at the same time as the wheel but it only was in stock for like 12 hours and it would've only cost me 40$ for the shifter since I had a discount code I only paid $220 after tax and warranty
Plus the seats with the new ergonomic designs are so comfortable. Air ride?? She's a damn beauty There McFarland.. There's a tool for every job brother. You got the right one for towing. Now all you have to do is get a electric crane welded on to the trailer. Or have a slip in locking saddle so you can leave it at the shop . But you can use it to load all the jet boats up on the big trailer. Then have your quads loaded up to ride around and also launch the jet boats. Very cool and diversified rig. Great for many occasions.
@@brianseyller2401 that’s what I was thinking. Huge bald eagle with the claws out down both sides of the rig with a trailing American flag. Would be sick!
I'm an Appliance Technician. That Samsung fridge will give you all kinds of problems real soon. Especially if you have power going on and off between trips. I constantly change control boards on them for that very reason. They also get iceclogs, Icemaker Issues and Power Control Board issues. Not trying to be negative just wanted to throw a tip for you. If you can pull that pos off the rig and replace it with a Maytag Side by Side it will be much more reliable. I love the rig! Beautiful! Thank you for the video! I'm gonna subscribe. Take care
Hey cleetus I say this with utmost respect and I'm not trying to be like some guys that are haters. I love this channel. Be cautious with that dd16 there extremely good engines with good power but, they have a fatal flaw. Their absolutely plagued with DEF problems. I run a 50 ton heavy wrecker for a living and it's terrifying how much we tow these cascadias that are in 5mph engine derate bc the diesel particulate filter is clogged up or it's failed to do a regen and won't manually regen for the customer. If it starts to give you problems I would seriously consider deleting the def/dpf system since this is a not for hire private coach/hauler. I sincerely wish you the best of luck with it. She's beautiful
“Freedom Freightliner” or “Freedom Liner”. Y’all should come to Cruisin’ the Coast this year! Come to the town you got the Dale truck from. Tim would be glad to see it again.
A tip from a truck driver: be careful when using the jake in heavy rain or if theres snow/ice on the road. it will cause you to lose traction and get into an accident. also
Working in North Qld Australia, we have trains that use that same Detroit Diesel engine.. have pulled over 800tons of cane countless times with the non intercooled single turbo variant so she's gonna be one hell of a rig.. hell yeah brother
I drive freight liners and the road lane departure noise is a pain in the ass. We disconnected the speaker connector instead of messing with the switch. Plus put centramatic wheel balances on the steer an drive axles. Also a gulf coast bypass filter you won’t regret these parts
Dont use the engine break on wet or slippery roads .i got a 2019 freightliner pretty much the same but the truckers version got 300k on her no major issues yet .but congratulations on the new rig id name her( Eagle One)
Dude this thing is sick. Has all the bells and whistles in the right areas. Mechanically and instrumentation wise everything you could ask for, but not super bougie in the living quarters. Exactly the way I would order one....If I could afford it of course...lol
There obviously not too worried about the cost seeing that they just bought a brand new truck and trailer And it would be a business investment and probably right off
Man, you've come so far with your channel and what you've been able to accomplish. I couldn't imagine the appreciation James has for you ever since you met him at the races and became who you guys are today. As the fans, we'll continue to support you, and we thank-you back for the amazing content. Much love from Canada brother, Do it for Dale.
When you select distance and speed of the vehicle you're following screen, 1 advantage is it will reach out and register vehicles in your lane about 5 seconds of space in front EVEN IN FOG when visibility much less..sometimes very useful to understand pro-tip ... also you'll always have 11000+ lbs on steering axle,be careful on soft ground ,Cat scale it,you'll see what I mean..
Actually I think you missed one of the important features... when your slide is in you can still use the sofa and clear access to the bathroom. What a great system. So what do you need for a license do drive that rig outside of the airbrake endorsement??? Class 1?? you'll be having lots of fun with that rig.
Sweet rig! Residential refrigerators are definitely cool - but if you have a problem its not as easy as just dropping by Best Buy! Not sure on that coach but you may have to take the slideout off to get the fridge out and back in! Otherwise one of the windows. Brand spanking new though you'll be fine for a while.
Just so you know, nothing is allowed to protrude from the edge of your trailer. Anything that does has to be flagged and permitted as oversized. Now that you are driving a very commercial looking rig, you aren't going to avoid scrutiny from the dot dudes.
It says a lot about cleet that any big thing he does he thanks the viewers constantly. And as a viewer it's great to see a big guy say thanks to the little guys. As long as I can watch for free and you stay you ill always watch 🤘
The way your truck shifts is basically the way my dad used to shift when he drove a stick. He would shift so early that the car would almost bog down, every shift
Cleetus: " Theres not much that gets me excited except..... Bleachers, Golden Retrievers, Race Cars, Motor homes..... Hover cars, Hot Asphalt, Crown Vics, Jet Boats, Mud Trucks, Pit Bikes.... need i go on?
Imagine if someone told you as you were standing next to Tom Bailey’s Pro Mod, all those years ago, that being goofy would get you spending 100k month on having fun and still be profiting. Straight killin’ it!! Congrats on the new rig!
@@BrandonHvlogs, I own 3 businesses. Just because he can write it off as a business expense and pay less taxes at the end of the year, doesn’t mean he didn’t drop $300k of his income on it. Do you even know how taxes work?
@@BrandonHvlogs, depends on which business he bought the hauler with. If it’s under the RUclips income, he can likely claim it. If his race shop or the Freedom Factory owns it, he likely cannot. If he owns it himself, he definitely cannot. Just like you can’t claim your personal car on your taxes. If it’s anything other than specifically a tool for creating content which direct produces YT income, it’s just personal/business property and can’t be written off. The mileage he puts on it can, but it’s Not For Hire, so it would be hard to prove to the IRS that it produces income if he’s not making regular videos directly about it.
It's nice having a regular fridge that you can just go to Home Depot and get, BUT! The bad news is, you have to have the slide completely removed in order to get the old fridge out and get the new refrigerator in there. $$$$ lol. I watched this video the day it was posted, but for some reason, it just showed back up in my recommended so I watched it again. lol.
Pro tip, when you are bringing the slide in hold the switch for a couple of seconds after it stops to make sure all the tension is set on the mechanism. It will save you tons of problems down the road.
I really hope you got your CDL for that unit Cleet. The air system, length, and weight may require you to have them even if its NOT FOR HIRE. You've got bridge length and weight laws. The DOT could have an absolute field day with you if don't have one.
I could be wrong, but when I raced motocross any vehicle that size was considered an RV as long as it had a bathroom/head and living quarters. RV's are rated for unlimited weight and length. But you are required to put "not for hire" on the side.
@@Whitehorsewelding man that's messed up, I think if anybody is going to be operating something that big, heavy, and with air brakes and suspension they should be required to get their CDL, or atleast have to test and get some kind of endorsement on their license. I'm a long haul trucker, I can buy a super sleeper truck with a full bathroom and kitchen, but we're required by federal law to go through training and testing for our CDL's.
@@justinmullins2680 i can second this. I go drag racing with my dad and we are 75 feet long with a similar setup. Toter and 44ft trailer with a normal drivers license because its considered an "RV." Were overlength and overweight but other than that is totally legal. When we pass the scales on the highway we just move out of the right lane.
I live near Sweetwater Tennessee one of Tim Gentry's subscribers..Love the Toterhome, I'm Coast to Coast truck driver for 27 yrs now 46 yrs ..I haul fresh chicken to Cali and Arizona then make produce pickups and go back to the Southeast ,,
give yourself plenty of time and space! Driver here..it seems everyone on the road, when around a semi is to jump out in front and lay on the brakes..or squeeze into a spot that's not existent when Im 80k LBS..Take it easy!

Very true
Because while the cruise is on the computer has the fuel management. Detroit 60 series had 2 hp rating. 1 was pedal 2nd was cruise control.
It will blow through the governor. Lol old school step around for the man. For some strange reason they have never closed that loophole.
All he has to do is take it somewhere to get turned up... it’s his truck he’s not some stupid swift driver
From Monica to the big white Willy. You can use the engine brake in traffic on high it is great for slowing you down fast. Walmart even has pans for that stove top, just not aluminum if a magnet sticks to it it should work. You can also put a 1/8 piece of steel on it and it will heat up any pan you put on the steel plate then. Renegade makes some of the best rigs. Big White Freightliner home.
It’s just amazing to me that as a diesel technician I am required to have a CDL to be able to road test trucks I repair but you don’t have to have a CDL to drive this “RV” across country with no experience or training. On another note I’m a certified Detroit and Freightliner technician so if you ever have any questions or problems after hours when the dealers closed message me.
It’s crazy seeing some of the old dudes that drive massive RVs and can barely walk into a gas station
@@isaacrecord6162 old? hell, look at some of the 500 pound professional drivers that crawl out of these rigs at the fuel stations! How do they get DOT medical cards???
@@warrenmichael918 no clue. I lost my job because of one though
THEY DO NEED A CLASS A CDL JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH SOMEYHING DOESENT MAKE IT LEGAL AND IT STARTS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL NOT EVEN BY STATE .HAULING MERCH , WINNING PRIZE MONEY ,EVEN JUST WRITING OFF THE COST ALL MAKE IT COMMERCIAL
@@williamgrimes2391 All caps, and still 100% wrong. Nice try though.
I remember him saying, "If it doesnt do a burnout, i aint buy it." SOOOOO WHERE'S THE BURNOUT!!!
It's the money transfer 🖊💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸 them wires were smoking just like the dd16 hopefully it has overhead avoidance branches through the roof may appear larger than out the window
Clyde as in Clydesdale Draft Horses for their incredible pulling power.
This is the way
Second!!!
This is it.
Yeaaaaa
This. 👍🏼👍🏼
Your doing it the correct way, no used Truck . Your new rig is great top of the line. From insurance to dealer and manufacturer warranty is the way to go. Plus you do you're own custom stuff and naming of course.
I designed the air intake on the DD16! It was a challenge fitting an air cleaner underhood that could support the airflow for that beast. Enjoy!
I thought I got all the credit. Hell yeah brotherrr!!!
Did you design the way it spins bearings too lol?
If you're in the same department as the guy who designed the hard plastic coolant lines on the dd15 kick him in the ass for me
@@brandonheckathorn3270 THIS, those stupid fucking coolant lines from the air compressor
@@brandonheckathorn3270 the coolant lines are not from detroit but from the carrier manufacturer, I have a western star and its way different than the DD15 in say a Cascadia
what a unit
Haaa he said unit uhhahaa
Do you have to have a CDL for that unit
@@isaiah-lava5.086 Whats so funny about that? People who craft them call them that all the time!
Yup the motorhome is alright as well!
I'm so jealous lol I can't even afford a daily driver let alone a driftcarid prefer to have a C6 but a C5 would be fine with me I just want to drift lol just bought a Logitech G920 steering wheel and pedals just need a handbrake attachment but that will only work on the computer unless I take apart the steering wheel and solder handbrake wires to the button board inside the wheel and I'll do that when the 1 year warranty ends but I also need the shifter which is another 60$ which I was going to buy it at the same time as the wheel but it only was in stock for like 12 hours and it would've only cost me 40$ for the shifter since I had a discount code I only paid $220 after tax and warranty
Gotta be "Snow Man" as a nod to Jerry Reed and Smokey and the Bandit.
I like this, but i reckon FreedomLiner is gonna get the win..
His name was also Cleetus hahah
Dang it!! You beat me to it.
Was thinking that aswell
Perfect name
Plus the seats with the new ergonomic designs are so comfortable. Air ride??
She's a damn beauty There McFarland..
There's a tool for every job brother. You got the right one for towing. Now all you have to do is get a electric crane welded on to the trailer. Or have a slip in locking saddle so you can leave it at the shop . But you can use it to load all the jet boats up on the big trailer. Then have your quads loaded up to ride around and also launch the jet boats.
Very cool and diversified rig. Great for many occasions.
I wanna know what the new motor home can do in the quarter.
Yes
8.2 ......Gallons!
If it had an allisons it would be a little faster, unfortunately the dt12 is slow
Apx 35 seconds, If it's set on perform on economy about 40 seconds.
I wanna know how much it cost !!!
“The Eagle” because when you arrive everyone will say damn “The Eagle” has just landed!
This name should open things up for some killer graphics on the side of this BIG rig! Hell Ya Brother!
@@brianseyller2401 that’s what I was thinking. Huge bald eagle with the claws out down both sides of the rig with a trailing American flag. Would be sick!
They should also do some graphics on the side
@@CodyStrijbosch definitely a blank canvas just waiting for awesomeness
That'd be perfect. So when they go to Houston they can literally say "Houston, the EAGLE has landed!" HOW PERFECT!!
I feel it’s necessary to get it wrapped with a big American flag and have “hell yea brother” across the back and “freedom factory” down the side
You already know that's coming. It will most surely be a write off even if it wasn't it would be cooler.
Only problem with that is everyone would know who it is. I’m sure when they’re just trying to get to a race or get home they don’t wanna be recognized
@@nickgriffin4284 they are going to have a damn car trailer on with there cars on it people will know who it is already
@@WyattH Not if it's enclosed, which I would imagine it is.
@@nickgriffin4284 Gonna be hard not to get recognized with a trailer full of very recognizable racecars on it though.
I'm an Appliance Technician. That Samsung fridge will give you all kinds of problems real soon. Especially if you have power going on and off between trips. I constantly change control boards on them for that very reason. They also get iceclogs, Icemaker Issues and Power Control Board issues. Not trying to be negative just wanted to throw a tip for you. If you can pull that pos off the rig and replace it with a Maytag Side by Side it will be much more reliable. I love the rig! Beautiful! Thank you for the video! I'm gonna subscribe. Take care
After looking through the comments, my vote would be for "Fred Freedomliner".
I like that name
I’m thinkin franky the freedomliner but they both work🤷🏼♂️
"The Nest" only seems appropriate for a bald eagle hauling machine
Copied this name, but it needs to be called “DaleForceOne”
I hope he hearts your comment!
FreedomForceOne
The force for short
DALEFORCEONE NEED TO HAPPEN! THATS BADASS MAN
went to drop a name suggestion and saw this. there is no point now this is the obvious winner!
Hey cleetus I say this with utmost respect and I'm not trying to be like some guys that are haters. I love this channel. Be cautious with that dd16 there extremely good engines with good power but, they have a fatal flaw. Their absolutely plagued with DEF problems. I run a 50 ton heavy wrecker for a living and it's terrifying how much we tow these cascadias that are in 5mph engine derate bc the diesel particulate filter is clogged up or it's failed to do a regen and won't manually regen for the customer. If it starts to give you problems I would seriously consider deleting the def/dpf system since this is a not for hire private coach/hauler. I sincerely wish you the best of luck with it. She's beautiful
“Freedom express” and do a full wrap on the truck and the trailer
Great name
This is the only acceptable name.
Looks like a “ Brutus “ to me !
Too similar to 'Lolita Express'
Freedom Express❤
“Freedom Freightliner” or “Freedom Liner”. Y’all should come to Cruisin’ the Coast this year! Come to the town you got the Dale truck from. Tim would be glad to see it again.
Freedom liner! That's good!
A tip from a truck driver: be careful when using the jake in heavy rain or if theres snow/ice on the road. it will cause you to lose traction and get into an accident. also
It's called drifting 👍
@@ODSTXing it's called wow you missed a joke😂
@@ODSTXing *slow clap*
As a truck driver, I have to wonder if he's even licensed for that, cdl-a is what I am seeing. It is a sweet rig thou
@@LaPurr don’t need a cdl for a motor home. a 16 year old with a learners permit can legally drive it
No man, thank YOU for these videos. We didn't do shit, you earned this toy yourself
“DaleForceOne”.
I have to admit, I chuckled a bit on this one. :)
YES 👏🏼 👏🏼
This is it right here!
Working in North Qld Australia, we have trains that use that same Detroit Diesel engine.. have pulled over 800tons of cane countless times with the non intercooled single turbo variant so she's gonna be one hell of a rig.. hell yeah brother
"Lot of Good Times in Monica", who are you, Bill Clinton?
You beat me to it..
Under rated comment 😂😂
Should call it bill 😅
11:38 when you put your plug in Monica’s outlet.
OK this legitimately made me laugh pretty freaking hard!
I drive freight liners and the road lane departure noise is a pain in the ass. We disconnected the speaker connector instead of messing with the switch. Plus put centramatic wheel balances on the steer an drive axles. Also a gulf coast bypass filter you won’t regret these parts
You guys named that rig when you started singing "On the road again."
The appropriate name is obvious,..."Willy".
agreed
First name in my head was Billy
Ole Willy !
Willy, 100%
100%
Dont use the engine break on wet or slippery roads .i got a 2019 freightliner pretty much the same but the truckers version got 300k on her no major issues yet .but congratulations on the new rig id name her( Eagle One)
damn I like that alot........more likes for his comment plz
This definitely needs more likes i can see cleet on the cb pulling into first event "The Eagle has landed.." or James adding a PA system to it..
Eagle One sounds awesome!
Eagle one, fox 2!
Missed out on the opportunity to have a “Cleeter-bilt”
I said Optimus McFarland... But you got me beat with Cleeter-Bilt! I Love That!✌️
@@MadRandomCollectable boo
I agree - just saw this and posted same below
@@sam_s_ Whatever Kid... ✌️🖕
Dude this thing is sick. Has all the bells and whistles in the right areas. Mechanically and instrumentation wise everything you could ask for, but not super bougie in the living quarters. Exactly the way I would order one....If I could afford it of course...lol
"Freedom Force One" Custom wrap on truck and trailer is gonna cost some dollars
There obviously not too worried about the cost seeing that they just bought a brand new truck and trailer
And it would be a business investment and probably right off
That RV's turbo would look a lot better poking through the hood...
Don't give him ideas 😂
@@mystic7692 but it’s an amazing idea
Don't worry, the hood will be gone soon
Man, you've come so far with your channel and what you've been able to accomplish.
I couldn't imagine the appreciation James has for you ever since you met him at the races and became who you guys are today.
As the fans, we'll continue to support you, and we thank-you back for the amazing content.
Much love from Canada brother, Do it for Dale.
Whistling Diesel might need to borrow that unit for a couple days. Dw im sure he'll take great care of it.
I wish you hadn’t already named something mullet cause this would be a perfect advocate for “business in the front, party in the back” lol
You should definitely call it “the eagle nest” since your gonna be towing all your bald eagles with it. Or “salt shaker” would be pretty dope too 😂
The only downside is that is the same name as Hitler's hide out......
I vote for "The eagle nest."
I like it
Freight Shaker
The "Freedom Express", like the polar express, because when you've got the big enclosed trailer hooked up it'll look like a train!
This is among my fav two, the other one is Snowman (see other comment)
When you select distance and speed of the vehicle you're following screen, 1 advantage is it will reach out and register vehicles in your lane about 5 seconds of space in front EVEN IN FOG when visibility much less..sometimes very useful to understand pro-tip ... also you'll always have 11000+ lbs on steering axle,be careful on soft ground ,Cat scale it,you'll see what I mean..
hell yeah! Big Truck BIG RV....towing a BIG TRUCK!
You need one of these lol

James has always been an asset to this channel since he was introduced.
Dude is literally a bad ass.
Actually I think you missed one of the important features... when your slide is in you can still use the sofa and clear access to the bathroom. What a great system. So what do you need for a license do drive that rig outside of the airbrake endorsement??? Class 1?? you'll be having lots of fun with that rig.

Sweet rig! Residential refrigerators are definitely cool - but if you have a problem its not as easy as just dropping by Best Buy! Not sure on that coach but you may have to take the slideout off to get the fridge out and back in! Otherwise one of the windows. Brand spanking new though you'll be fine for a while.
"A lot of good times in Monica..."

I don't get it. He did have a lot of good times in Monica.
@@eriklarson9137 there is no sexual relationship with that motorhome
Eric your making me fell old.
This is the most underrated comment
Just so you know, nothing is allowed to protrude from the edge of your trailer. Anything that does has to be flagged and permitted as oversized. Now that you are driving a very commercial looking rig, you aren't going to avoid scrutiny from the dot dudes.
I’m also thinking those tires are going to bounce quite a bit which will bounce those chains around pretty good.
102” if under they’ll be good
@@willreid1630 109”-111” gets interesting in requirements
CDL?
Speaking of those DOT boys... Make sure you have "not for hire" stickers... And even with them you're going to attract a lot of attention.
It says a lot about cleet that any big thing he does he thanks the viewers constantly. And as a viewer it's great to see a big guy say thanks to the little guys. As long as I can watch for free and you stay you ill always watch 🤘
The way your truck shifts is basically the way my dad used to shift when he drove a stick. He would shift so early that the car would almost bog down, every shift
Cleetus: " Theres not much that gets me excited except..... Bleachers, Golden Retrievers, Race Cars, Motor homes..... Hover cars, Hot Asphalt, Crown Vics, Jet Boats, Mud Trucks, Pit Bikes.... need i go on?
hell yea brother
You forgot grass and 'Murica!

Imagine if someone told you as you were standing next to Tom Bailey’s Pro Mod, all those years ago, that being goofy would get you spending 100k month on having fun and still be profiting.
Straight killin’ it!!
Congrats on the new rig!
Tax write off. It’s a business experience
@@BrandonHvlogs, I own 3 businesses. Just because he can write it off as a business expense and pay less taxes at the end of the year, doesn’t mean he didn’t drop $300k of his income on it. Do you even know how taxes work?
@@stick004 yes I do. I didn’t say he didn’t. I’ve owned a business too. 😂
@@BrandonHvlogs, depends on which business he bought the hauler with. If it’s under the RUclips income, he can likely claim it. If his race shop or the Freedom Factory owns it, he likely cannot. If he owns it himself, he definitely cannot. Just like you can’t claim your personal car on your taxes. If it’s anything other than specifically a tool for creating content which direct produces YT income, it’s just personal/business property and can’t be written off. The mileage he puts on it can, but it’s Not For Hire, so it would be hard to prove to the IRS that it produces income if he’s not making regular videos directly about it.
Call him Fleetus because he is towing the fleet.
😂😂
It's nice having a regular fridge that you can just go to Home Depot and get, BUT! The bad news is, you have to have the slide completely removed in order to get the old fridge out and get the new refrigerator in there. $$$$ lol. I watched this video the day it was posted, but for some reason, it just showed back up in my recommended so I watched it again. lol.
Pro tip, when you are bringing the slide in hold the switch for a couple of seconds after it stops to make sure all the tension is set on the mechanism. It will save you tons of problems down the road.
I really hope you got your CDL for that unit Cleet. The air system, length, and weight may require you to have them even if its NOT FOR HIRE. You've got bridge length and weight laws. The DOT could have an absolute field day with you if don't have one.
Glad im not the only one who thought of this detail, he needs someone with one
I could be wrong, but when I raced motocross any vehicle that size was considered an RV as long as it had a bathroom/head and living quarters. RV's are rated for unlimited weight and length. But you are required to put "not for hire" on the side.
@@Whitehorsewelding man that's messed up, I think if anybody is going to be operating something that big, heavy, and with air brakes and suspension they should be required to get their CDL, or atleast have to test and get some kind of endorsement on their license. I'm a long haul trucker, I can buy a super sleeper truck with a full bathroom and kitchen, but we're required by federal law to go through training and testing for our CDL's.
@@justinmullins2680 i can second this. I go drag racing with my dad and we are 75 feet long with a similar setup. Toter and 44ft trailer with a normal drivers license because its considered an "RV." Were overlength and overweight but other than that is totally legal. When we pass the scales on the highway we just move out of the right lane.
Yeah, I would think air brake endorsement at minimum.
The look of absolute bewilderment on James’ face when cleet mentions the induction stovetop 😂😂😂
